Perhaps the people of Guatemala are a.
clearly as others, but according to our
observation the common practice was to
allow the dogs to lick the dishes, which
received no additional washing. IL was
the custom, also, at the table d'hote In
the hotels to finish q meal by filing the
mouth with water and squirting 1t on the
tiled floor Once when we stopped at q
wayside house to get some coffee, the
sonora made little fire out Of doors, put
the coffee in very black pot to boil, and,
after tanning the reluctant fire with her
straw hat, threw herself on the ground
near by to rest and smoke her puro.
When the pot was near to boiling she
reached out her bare leg and tested the
temperature Of the contents with her toe,
as northern cook might have used her
finger. At hotel a tabiecloth served also
for napkins, and the dishes were OF many
patterns, colors and degrees Of dirtiness.
1t seemed absurd to call for q clean
plate, but we did so to see what would
happen. A large tame duck used to
waddle under my chair, and at last
would take bits Of tortilla from my
hand. Several NANCY dogs and cats had
to be driven out whenever we sat down
to eat; but the hens were not disturbed,
for they contributed 30 much to our
larder that they were privileged, and one
nested in an old felt hat on q corner
shelf, while another came cackling out
Of one of the dark bedrooms that opened
on either side.-W. T. Bigham's "Guat-

An anthropometric laboratory is place
where person may have any of his vari-
Gus faculties measured in the best possible
way, and where duplicates Of his meas
urements may be preserved as private
documents for his own future use and
reference. All the various faculties are
to be registered. Accordingly, after the
exact shape, the cubical contents and the
specific gravity Of the individual have
been ascertained he will be tested for pace
on measured mile on land and meas
ured 100 yards in the water. The physi-
cal basis being thus ascertained, the
capacity for self restraint will next be
tried. Then will come the memory tests
and the trials Of originality and intellect
ual endurance. 1t would be impos-
sible, except at great length, to ex-
plain the various processes avail
able for these latter purposes, but
q brief reference may be made to the
uses Of the register when completed.
Evidently the register kept at tho labora-
tory may be made use Of as reference In
all cases. To persons about to marry the
record will, Of course, be valuable and in
dispensable. Very great benefits will
accrue to all classes of people. It will
abolish the old test Of q mans faculties by
the work he does and what comes out Of
him.-Pittsburg Bulletin.

General Order,
L. Union memorial exercises will be
held at the Disciple church on Sunday,
May 9th, 1888, at 1880 "a. m, in which
IL is expected that the pastors of the
several churches will participate, the
order of exercises to be arranged as
to them may seem best.
III. The members of the post will
assemble at the armory on Sunday
morning at $50, in full uniform, and be
ready to march To the church in body,
where seats will be reserved for their
occupation.
III. All members of the post will
assemble at the armory on Wednesday,
May 30th, at nine o'clock in the morn
ing. The procession will form at 1000
and march To Prospect Hill, where the
usual impressive ceremonies of the
grand army will be observed and the
graves of our fallen comrades be decked
with flowers. Details will be made to
attend to the decoration of soldiers
graves in the other cemeteries within
the jurisdiction of this post, which duty
will be attended to prior To the march
to Prospect Hill.
Nv. Immediately at the conclusion
of the ceremonies at the cemetery, the
procession will reform and return to
the armory, where ranks will be broken
for dinner.
V. All comrades will again assemble

VII. The people of the village and
surrounding country, especially the
ladies and children, are requested to
furnish flowers for the occasion, which
should be arranged in wreaths or bou
quets, or tied in punches. All flowers
should be left at the store of Comrade
Hubert, not later than nine o'clock in
the morning. Should there be any
especial decorations for particular
graves, those who furnish them will
please be at the cemetery and see that
they are properly placed. Let there be
no lack of beautiful floral tributes. The
ladies of the village are also requested
to furnish houseplants and to assist in
the proper and tasteful decoration OF
the church for the Sunday memoria
service.
VIII. The sacred duty of keeping
alive the memory of thosenwho offered
their lives on the altar of their country
does not belong exclusively to the granC
army, but rather to the entire commun
ity; therefore all citizens are respect
fully invited to lay aside their secular
business and to join with the comrades
in the impressive ceremonies and hal
lowed associations of Memorial Day
thus honoring the memory of the brav,
men who have gone to their rest, ant
recalling the tremendous cost at which
our country was saved and our flag
maintained unsullied. Eternal vigil
ance is the price of liberty
