Passing on through the market place l
emerged suddenly from a side exit into
the market square. Just in front of mo
sat four or five groups surrounding a
bunch of smoking faggots, and as l ap-
preached them a little girl or boy would
step forward and offer for sale strings of
glass beads or baskets of images made by
indians from clay. l bought several Of
these images and narrowly escaped being
cheated in the process, for the little rogues
who are playing merchants know when
they have a stranger to deal with, and.
although they smile at you, showing their
white, pearly teeth, they will give you
the wrong change if they can.
Just beyond these groups l saw other
groups seated about large, square holes,
which had been dug in the ground. At
first l could not understand this, but
after awhile l found out that they were
engaged in roasting the century plant.
The holes in the ground were apparently
three feet deep and perhaps four feet
across the top. Inside these holes they
had placed a half dozen stalks of the plant
over smoking faggots, and from the
smoldering fire there issued a volume of
smoke n the sound of escaping pulque.
By and by a Mexican strobe up, threw
Town a three cent piece, and, without a
word, one of the agile boys jumped into
the hole, chopped off a bit of the wood
and delivered it to the purchaser, who
went away munching on it as though it
was the leg of a chicken. The juice of
the maguey is sweet and Intoxicating, and
q great many of the Mexican people are, l
regret to say, slaves of its power.-"R.

Profanity Among the English.

heard an Englishman say, not long
ago, that the reason he liked to be asso-
ciated with a certain man in business, al
though that man was not very prompt in
paying him his salary, was, that he
always spoke to him as a gentleman, and
never swore at him. Another man who
offered him a better position, he hesitated
to go with because he peppered his con-
versation with oaths. Not that the
Englishman was such a tenderfoot, but
he did not like such rough language. He
said that it irritated him to have a man
say to him, W though he meant to be
perfectly amiable, Where the h have
you been all this timer" 1t was a form of
greeting which, while intended to be cor
dial, was unpleasant.
He did not deny that Englishmen swore,
but he said he never heard oaths among
the same class of Englishmen as were
used by Americans of the same set. Of
course you do not expect to hear a woman
use profane expressions, but an English
woman will not use any of the violent
words hat even an American lady has in
her vocabulary. You may offend an Eng
fish woman to the last point of her en-
d%urance, but she will only be "vexed, " or,
under unusually strong emotion, very
vexed." l notice that the young Ameri-
cans whose lives are devoted to initiating
English manners are very soft spoken,
and their great aim seems to be self sup
preston. They consider it bad form to
show n emotion at all.-New York Sun.

There is a crusty old bachelor who has
an Office in one of the tall buildings on
La Sale street. His pet aversion is the
book ~canvasser, although he has a score
of minor diversions, all of which serve to
bring out the rough side of his nature.
The other day he was visited by a modest
looking young lady, who was soliciting
subscriptions for the art Treasures of
Italy" in the endeavor to provide for the
wants of her widowed mother and her
self. As she entered the door the old
man looked up and, without waiting to
learn the mission of his fair visitor,
yelled out: 81 haven't any money to give
way for charity today" and went on
with his writing. The young lady ad-
vanced still further into the room, and
again the old fellow called out: And l
never buy any tickets for Sunday school
excursions, either" By this time the
young lady had approached the desk and
modestly informed him of the object of
her visit.
"Whatl A book peddleri No, nam;
to you. Go away and don't come here
any more"
The girl tnrned away somewhat angry
and seriously disappointed, but she said
quietly, There is one book, sir, you
ought to buy and study well"
whats that?" gruthy inquired the old
man.
1.-the Ethics of True Politeness," was
the reply.
"How's that?" sputtered the old gen
tleman, and his face grew red. Come
here, young woman; let's see what you've
got to sell"
And in less than ten minutes thereafter
the name of the crusty old man adorned
her subscription book.-Chicago Herald.

united states ARMY sconts.

United States army scouts may be di-
vided into two classes: white men, who
q as chief of scouts, and Indian scouts,
who are organized as military companies.
The white scouts are usually men who
have been employees of the San Carlos and
Mescalero Apache reservations, or Indian
agencies. They are, from constant associ-
alton with the Indians, well acquainted
with their character and habits, and fire.
quently speak a little Apache. The
Apaches, with few exceptions, speak
Spanish, and it is usually the language
they use in communicating with the In
dian agent and the employees of the
agency. A white man who makes himself
useful to the Indians by doing them little
favors is, in time, taught ito read sign"
This may be said to complete the education
of a chief of scouts.
1t would be beyond the scope of a news
paper article to describe how Sign" is
read, nor would anything save practical
demonstration convey IN comprehensive
idea to the reader. A scout who can read
''sign" can tell you by examining a trail
over which horses nave passed if they
were ridden or led, and if both, the num-
Der ridden and the number led. Even
when shod he can tell whether the horses
were American or Mexican. If the trail
be made by men on foot, he can tell if it
be an Indian trail, or simply the trail of
Mexicans wearing m~occasins. In a hostile
party he can tell by the trail how many
are bucks and how many are squaws and
children, and so OF over q field of observa-
ton as extensive as interesting. The
scout thus qualified finds no difficulty in
obtaining employment in the southwest,
where Apache outbreaks are of almost
yearly occurrence.-Con A. Mahony in

 They had arrived at Brian's sitting room by this time, and Madge sank into a chair, while Calton, anxious to begin the search, said rather impatiently, he opened the door for her: "Leave us for short time, there's good soul; Miss Frettlby and want to have rest, and we will.ring for you when we are going"

 "The deslz," replied Madge. going over to it; ''it's the most likely place."
 The letter, however, was not to be found in the desk, nor was it in the sitting room; they tried the bedroom, but with no better result; so Madge was nearly giving up the search In despair, when suddenly Caltons eye tell on the waste paper basket, which, by some unaccountable reason, they had over looked in their search. The basket was half full, and, on looking at it, a sudden thought struck the lawyer. He rang the bell, and suddenly Mrs. Sampson made her appear ance.
 "How long has that waste paper basket been standing like that?" he asked, pointing to it.
 ''It bein' the only fault I lad to find with im," said Mrs Sampson, "'e bein' that un- tidy that e never let me clean it put until e told me pussonly. 'Esaid as low 'e throwed things into it as Q might lave to look up again; an iaven't touched it for more nor six weeks, 'opin' you won't think me bad housekeeper, it bein' lis own wish-bein' fond of litter an sich like"
 "Six weeks," repeated Calton, with a look at Madge. "Ah, and he got the letter four weeks ago. Depend upon it, we shall find it | there"
 I Madge gave cry, and, falling on her knees, emptied the basket out on the floor, and both she and Calton were soon as busy among the fragments of paper as though they were ragpiokers,
 "'Opin' they ain't orf their eads," mur- mured Mrs. Sampson, as she went to the door, "but it looks like it. they bein'"-
 Suddenly cry broke from Madge, as she drew out of the mass of paper a half burnt letter, written on thick and creamy looking | paper
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1888-12-14

She dre,v out c hdlf burnt letter.
 "At last" she cried, rising off her knees, and smoothing it out, '1 knew he had not destroyed it."
 Pretty nearly, however" said Carlton, as his eye glanced rapidly over it; ''its almost useless as it is, seeing there's no name to it." He took it over to the window and spread it out upon the table. It was dirty, and half burnt, but still it was clew. The above is a fac simile of the letter
 "There's not much to be gained from that, I'm afraid" said Madge, sadly. ''It shows he had an experimentation where?'
 Carlton did not answer, but, leaning his head on his hands, stared hard at the paper At last he jumped up with cry
 "I have it," he said in an excited tone "Look at that paper; see how creamy and white it is, and, above all, look at the print ing in the corner-'oT VILLA, ooRAK'"
 ':Then he went down to Toorak?"
 "In an hour, and back again-hardly.n
 '.Then it was not written from Toorak"
 '!No, it was written in one of the Melbourne back slums."
 'tHow do you knowf'
 "Look at the girl who brought it." said Calton, quickly. "A disreputable woman, one far more likely to come from the back slums than Toorak. As to the paper, three months ago there was a robbery at Toorak, and this is some of the paper that was stolen by the thieves"
 Madge said nothing. but her sparkling eyes and nervous trembling of the hands showed her excitement.
 ''I will see a detective this evening"" said Calton, exultingly, find out where this let ter came from and go and see who wrote it. We'll save him yet" he said, placing the precious letter carefully in his pocketbook
 "You think that you will be able to find the woman who wrote that?'
 "Hum," said the lawyer, looking thought full, 'she may be dead, as the letter says she is in dying condition. However, if can ! find the woman who delivered the letter at the club, and who waited for Fitzgerald at the corner of Bourke and Russell streets, that will be sufficient. All l want to prove is that he was not in the hanson cab with Whyte"
 "And>do you think you can do thatg'
 Depends upon this letter." said Calton, enigmatically tapping his pocketbook with his finger. "Ill tell you to-molrow.n
 Shortly afterward they left the house, and when Ca1ton put Madge safely into the St. Kilda train her heart felt lighter than it had done since Fitzgerald's arrest.

 There is an old adage that "like draws to like" and the antithesis of this would proba- bly, be that unlike keeps as far away from unlike as it possibly can. Sometimes, how ever, Fate, who seems to take malignant pleasure in worrying humanity, throws them together, and the result is an eternal conflict between the uncongenial elements Mir. Gorby was very clever detective, and got on well with every one with the exception of Hlsip. The latter, on the other hand, was equally as clever in his own way, and was g fayorite with every one but Gorby. One was fire and the other water, so when they came together there was sure to be trouble. Kilsip, in his outward appearance, was quite differ ent from Gorby, being tall and slender, whereas the other was short and stout Kilsip was dark and clever looking, Gorby was not, bis face wearing a complacent and satisfied smile, which one would not expect to find on the features of man wtso was looked upon as clever detective.
