Mexican Senoritas.

From the cape Town Argus
The stranger in Mexico, especial
ly if he be young and good looking,
is liable to be surprised at his first
ball here when some pretty senorita
whom he has never seen before trips
up to him with an engaging s1,ile on
her face and something that looks
like an egg in her hand and sudden
ly smashes the latter over his cram
ium. To one not acquainted with
the cascarone custom it is startling
to say the least. Luckily, however,
the egg has been robbed of its
usual interior, the contents having
been emptied through a small hole
at the end. The she'll is then re-
flied with finely chopped tinsel and
colored paper with the addition Of
perfumed satchet powder Or some
dainty trinket latter which the open
ing is neatly closed by a bit of pa
per pasted over it.
In the good old dsys of the Span
ish aristocracy the egg shells to be
used by the proud grandees at swell
iandangoes were filled with gold
and diamond dust. Similar extrav-
agances are sometimes INDUCED in
nowadays, but rarely.

tai statistics, such as is relied upon
by other civilized nations for the
purpose OF a%scertaining the actual
movement ofpopulation, our census
affords the only opportunity of OBJ
tanning near an approximate esti-
mate Of the birth and death rates
of much the larger part of the eoun-
try.
In view Of this, the Census o.
flee, during the month of May this
year, will issue to the medical pro-
fession throughout the country
Physicians Registers" for the
purpose of obtaining more accurate
return of deaths than it IS possible
for the enumerators to make. 1t is
earnestly hoped that physicians in
every part of the country will CO.
operate with the Census Office in
this important work. The record
should be kept from June |, 1889,
to May 81, 1890.
Physicians not receiving registers
can obtain them by sending their
names.sand addresses to the. Census
Office, and, with the register, an
official envelope which requires no
stamp will be provided for their re-
turn to Washington.
1t is hereby promised that ali liz

J%oHNsrowN, Pa, June 2.-The
way of the transgressor in the desc
lated valley Of the Conemaugh is
hard indeed. Each hour reveals
some new and horrible story ofsuf-
fering and outrage, and every sue
ceeding hour brings news of swift
and merited punishment melted out
to the fiends who have dared to
desecrate the stiff and mangled
corpses in the city of the dead, and
torture the already half cra-ed vic
tins of the cruelest of modern Gu
tastrophes. This afternoon two
men were found stealing rings and
jewelry from the dead. They were
ordered to throw up their hands.
With blanched faces and trembling
forms they obeyed the order and
begged for mercy. They were
searched, and, as their pockets
were emptied oftheir oh"stly finds,
the indignation of the crowd inten-
sified, and when the bloody finger
of an infant encircled with two tiny
gold rings was found among the
plunder in the leaders, pocket &
cry went up, "Lynch him! Lynch
him!" Without a moments delay
ropes were thrown around then
necks and they were dangling to
the limbs of a tree, in the branches
of which an hour before were en-.
tangled the bodies of a father and
