ing of their existence and of their present
uncertain state flor who knows but their
souls may be yet in purgatory), and with
voices from the grave appeal to their
friends for PRAYERS end masses.
gu me % OF November is the celebra-
ton of All Souls Day, and then these
skulls are brought together and placed
upon sort of dias, hung with black and
lighted by blessed candles, and grand mass
is said for the repose of their souls, and in
every house prayers are also offered
for the same purpose. Besides the usual
ceremonies Of the Roman Catholic Church
throughout the world there is one peculiar
10 Yucatan, derived from the customs Of
the Indians, and by them called Mukbi-
pogo.
On All Souls Day every Indian, accord
ing to his means, purchases and burns a
certain number of consecrated candles, in
honor of his deceased relatives Besides
this, they make pie, consisting of paste
of Indian corn, stuffed with pork and
fowls, and seasoned with chill, and bake it
in the earth. During this sacred day every
good Yucateco eats nothing but this. In
the interior, where the Indians are less
civilized, they religiously place a portion
of the pie out Of doors, in retired place
under some convenient bush or shrub, for
their dead friends to eat.
They affirm that the portion thus set
apart is always taken, and therefore they
believe that the spirits of the departed
may be iured back TO earth by appealing
to the same appetites that controlled them
while living. Skeptical persons, however,
have been known to hint that in every
neighborhood there are plenty Of thievish
Indians, who are too poor to regale their
living relatives, and much less their dead
ones, who make it point to appropriate
the pie. In order to give the matter fair
test, our spiritualis.ic friends in the United
States might try the experiment. Though
the people here are extremely superstitious
there is nothing of modern spirituaIism il

and more important still, to clear every
tree in their vicinity of the scale-bug, moth,
worm or any other vermin they can han
dle-all this as the result of actual trial
and observation on several different farms
in this vicinity" As everyone knows,
mostly in sorrow, the whole country is in
tested with ants OF the most prying, thiev-
ing character, but they are mostly ground
burrowers, differing in that respect, and
very likely in other traits, from our mound
builders. Every old miner of the 'scratchy'
days of long ago has a grateful remem-
orance of the eminently effectual services
performed for him by these mound build
ers ID the way of taking things out of
shirts and blankets that he didn't want
there. They were mighty hunters in that
line OF business, and it is quite reasonable
TO suppose that, with proper opportunities.
they would be no less mighty after the
scale-bug and all such.-Grass VALLEY It'd

For the RECORD UNION
MEMORIAL DAY.

Again we come from out our homes
With Slow and reverent tread,
To scatter flowers upon each mound
Where sleep the patriot dead.
We bring the rose, the fairest flower
Our mother earth can Yield
As crimson as the blood that flowed
On many gallant field.
We bring the spotless lily pale,
With loving heart ana hand,
An emblem of the Dove of Peace
That hoYers Ger our land.
We come anew, from far and near,
From valley hill and plain,
Above these sacred affairs to
Renew our pledge again.
To be through all the coming years
Still loyal, grand and brave
And with our lives defend the land
These heroes died TO save.
Some Of our band, with mournful hearts,
Remember well the day
When those who sleep before them now
so proudly marched away,
And often times their faith grew weak,
While watching from affair
They saw the sJrging to aud fro
OF the red tide of war.
o, many daring deed was done
BY gallant hands and true,
Where the Potomac's hills OF gray
Melt into peaks of blue.
And many maiden's rosy cheek
Grew like the lily white,
When listening TO the fearful news
From Gettysbuig's famed hight.
But GeOrgia's plains no longer hear
An army IS cOnquering tread
From MisSissippls placid waves
The iron fleets have fled.
The thrush's piping notes displace
The deep-toned caunou's war
The spirit stirring trumpet calls
Unto the charge DO more.
Where once they met in deadly feud
And madiy staked their ALL
Scared veterans clasp each others hands
Across that ancient wall.
And when we see our common land
No longer rent in twain,
Then, looking on our dead, we know
They have not died i'll vain.
So, meeting here from year to year,
We pray through help, Divine.
The flag they loved, undimmed shall float
Above the palm and pine.

Routing Grea, Sneakers.

Some of the most experienced orators
have been disconnected by very trivial cir
cumstances. Daniel Webster, rising to
speak at a poultry show, was unable to
continue in rivalry with giant Shanghai
which began to air its lungs at the same
moment, and had TO resume his seat in
confusion. Ersl>ine was always extremely
sensitive to lack of interest by his audi
ence. "Who can get on with that wet
blanket of face of yours before him 2" he
said once to Garrow, who was engaged
with him in a cause His first speech In
the House of Lords was a humiliating
failure, owing to the action of Chatham.
who, as speaker began, took up pen
and made few notes, as if with the in
tention of replying; but after listening a
few moments, he dashed pen and paper
upon the floor with contemptuous smile.
This indifference, real or pretended, COM
pletely upset Erskine, whose "voice falt-
cred; he struggled through the remainder
of his speech, and sank into his seat
dispirited, and shorn of his fame" Burke
was also extremely sensitive Selwyn re-
iates that he rose on one occasion to speak,
holding bundle of papers in his hand,
when rough-hewn country member start
ed up and said: Mr.. Speaker, hope the
honorable gentleman does not mean to
read that large bundle of papers, and to
bore US with a long speech into the bar
gain" Burke was so sufoeated with rage
as to be incapable of speech, and rushed
out Of the House. "Never before" SAYS
Selwyn, did l see the fable realized of a
lion put to fight by the braying of an
ass.'-Ihe Gesgemaa's Magazine.

BY careful and economical management
this total may perhaps be reduced to
$4,000, and if the actress has her dresses
or does not need to expend much in that
way, a still greater reduction may be
effected
Society debutantes are accustomed to
tell managers that they have friends
enough to fill the house for week, but
when these friends are called upon they
are found to sadly diminish in numbers
1t is an extremely fortunate debutante or
unknown playwright who can get 500
into the theater on the first night, and the
indifference OF the general public to the
promise of new players or plays is some
thing awful to experience. Should the
new attraction make 4 fair success the
nightly receipts are not likely to rise
above $500, for at the end of the season
New Workers are tired of theater-goine.
and country visitors are attracted only by
those plays the fame of which has spread
to their homes. But it is infrequently
that the star or play does make success.
Cruel and blind as our managers are often
supposed to be, they don't let many good
things slip by them. If the venture fails
1t is extraordinary to how small taking a
play may be presented in a frst-class New
York theater. Many are the instances
| where $50 would be an exaggerated esti-
mate Of the amount paid by the audience.
From these figures it will be seen that the
s-ar or manager who ventures on weeks
trial in New York may be said to have
done well if some reputation has been
gained in exchange for loss $500 or
$4,000
As rule, the angel pays salaries, the
company, if composed of actors of ex-
perience, taking care to get a guarantee
or occasionally payment in advance.
Sometimes chances are risked and the
hacker fails TO materialize. Then the
former angel becomes an invisible devil

SCALE BUG DESTROYERS.
Go to the Ant, Thou SIuggard Conside
Her WAYS and BE Wise

The editor of the Inyo Independent, look
ing back to the days of 1919, and remem-
bering how the miners used to have their
blankets cleaned of the Infesting ferries of
those days, suggests the ant plan Tor getting
rid of scale and other noxious insects of
orchards and plants. The editor says the
orchardist must go to the ant, but remarks
that this advice applies to only one par
tieulaTly species among the thousands of
the ant creation. He is an industrious
mound-buildeg, over three eighths of an
inch in length, his body divided into four
bulbs, the three front ones, including the
head being of cherry red, while the
posterior division, which is much the
largest, is purple black, and a distinctive
marking SO far as our knowledge goes-aIl
this from specimens III a bottle now in
the Independent office. Colonies of these
mounG-builders can be transplanted any
where, and with proper protection from
sun and rain, will prosper much better than
without such care. Now, on the
authority of the friend in question.
in whose observations and statements
we have perfeo. faith, these ants
may be relied upon to clean oct every bed
bug to which tney can gain access IN any
house near which they may be colonized

Got His Muffin,

Among the letters of congratulation re-
ceived by Melville W. Fuller on his nomi-
nation for the Chief Justiceship was one
from an old friend living in the East. 1t
was overlooked by the young men who
were copying the kilograms and letters. 1t
is the best one of the lot. 1T is now over
thirty-two years since saw YOU the let
ter begins, "and in that time | may have
passed out of your memory. But can re-
call an incident which may refresh your
recollection of ME. We were boarding at

think it was, we had mullins for tea. BY
some calculation on the part of the cook,
there were just enough Of mullins to 20

that somebody got more than his share.

What Primitive Man Ate.

Primitive man, wherever he was first
cast, whether in one center or in more than
one, mus of necessityhave found his food
in the plant world. We cannot imagine him
commencing his career learned in the arts
of hunting, killing and cooking the lower
animals for food. Many infer from this
circumstance that the argument in favor
of the vegetarian practice is copied direct
from nature, signed and delivered by her.
Not quite so fast. There is one interpos-
ing barrier to the free acceptance of vege-
tartan deed and act Of conveyance of food
from nature to man. Nature herself. of
her own right royal will, makes for ami
mails herbivOrous and carnivorous, one dis
tinctive animal food a secretion from the
living animal organism, fluid which is a
standard tood-meat and drink in one
the fluid known under the name of milk,
Against absolute vegetarianism, then. we
may fairly set up one exception derived
from nature as the unerring guide. On
observing the habits of animals we dis
cover another natural fact. We find that
! animals of quite different natures, in re.
spect to primitive selection of food, DOS
sess the power of changing their modes
| of feeding and of passing over, as it were,
from one class to another. This change is
distinct but limited, and we must accept il
with all its extension on one side and with
all its limitation on the other. The fruit
eating ape can be taught under privation
to subsist on animal diet; dog can, be-
lieve, be taught to subsist on vegetable
diet. But 1t would be as impossible to
teach 4 sheep to eat flesh as it would be to
make lion feed ON grass.-DI. Richardson,
IN LQngnan's Magazine.

Are dogs intelligent? One would GER
tainly think so could he have seen the deed
performed by shepherd dog belonging to
c. c. Hunt of this city The other day a
horse ran away and turned down the street
where Mr.. Hunt resides The dog was
lying on the doorstep, but when the horse
came in sight he started for the street.
Facing the horse he leaped after the bride
till he succeeded in stopping him. Sitting
down in front of him he kept him there till
the owner arrived on the scene. At first
the dog doubted the mans right to inter-
fere, and he critically watched him. At
last, evidently becoming convinced from
the mans actions that he was the legit-
innate owner, he quickly trotted back to
his domicile.-ANgltsta (lHe.) Journal

Ifthere ever was a stupid superstition it
is that which prevails in some quarters
that we'll dressed person cannot be a good
business man." Slovenly attire does not
necessarily indicate application to business.
The rusty black froclS, cheap necktie, and
neglected linen, which some well-to-do
men assume is generally badge of inhe-
rent meanness or an aiectation. If any
body of means works harder and dresses
worse than his clerks it is time that he re-
formed, devoted more time to dress and less
to mouey-making.-Boston Commercial Bull
