THE USEFUL CACTUS.
without IL the Average Mexican Would
Lead a Sorry Existence.

The remark has been made that ''the
cactus has many good points and will
not be sat down upon The remark il
true one, for, as Is the reindeer to the
Laplander. so Is the cactus 10 the poor
Mexican. 1t furnishes him with home,
snch rs IL il. His food in many ways Is
prepared from the cactus. Sit down 10
= meal In q wretched Mexican jacal, and
IL you do not wish TO spread your length
upon the floor, you will be offered
small wicker stool made from the tough
fibre Of the cactus. The mating spread
upon the dirt floor, which serves as .
table, Is woven from the same material
Corn-meal cakes (tortillas), boiled
beans. great fat fellows, and pleasant
and wholesome dish OF stewed cactuscut
into small squares, about the size OF
pea, will constitute your repast of solids.
The fruit, without which no Mexican
meal is complete. will be the luscious
tuna, which grows around the edges of
the prickly leaves of the cactus, and
which. when growing. resembles huge
green shield surrounded by crescent
OF thorny knobs about the size Of small
apple, as IL serving as protection for
the tender edges of the leaves. In
Mexican dinner, sweets always occupy
q conspicuous part, and on this occasion
the dulce will be the preserved roots or
leaves of this same cactus.
Though the Mexican people are not a
race of hard drinkers, yet at meal times
the wine or other fermented liquors are
inevitable, and, as the lower class Of
Mexicans can not we'll afford wine, you
are invited TO partake once more of this
much abused cactus, this time In the
form OF tequila, most atrocious drink,
which looks like gin, harmless enough
To all appearances, but which goes down
your throat like wave OF fire, and
few glasses of which will make you
drunk clear to your finger tips. Should
this prove too much for you, you are at
liberty to partake of another beverage
derived fron the same source, but not
quite as ardent, 1. e., mescal This liq-
uid leaves delicate suggestion of tar
and red pepper In your mouth, and, II
drunk after eating a certain kind of do
nestle fruit, 1t Ia very dangerous. and
In many cases results very disastrously

KNIVES FROM OLD FILES.
An Experienced Artisan Explains Ho~
They Are Made.


As smiths are often asked TO make
knives from old files by farmers who be-
lieve that such knives are better than
any they can buy at hardware stores, |
will describe my way of making them.
first draw tho temper by heating the
file 10 cherry red, then placing It In
the ashes, and Ave inches under the
forge and leaving IL there until II Ii cool.
then grind out the file marks and next
comes the drawing. | make the heat
no higher than bright cherry red, and
use a good smooth-faced hammer. The
Ole Is drawn little thicker than the
back Of the blade is to be, and the blade
Is then bent, edge being on the inside.
The blade Is then drawn to an edge, the
drawing on the inner curve having the
effect OF Strengthening IL. When IL has
been drawn to an even and nice color
and Strengthened, three holes are drilled
In 1t 30 that the handle can be fastened
ON 1t. and IL is then shaped with file.
II is necessary 10 avoid getting the edge
too thin, or else there will be trouble in
tempering.
In tempering use soft and somewhat
warm water. i seize the handle end
with pair Of tongs, bold the blade over
a clear. well-charred fire with the back
down. and heat evenly to the first hole
until | see that the blade is red, and
then plunge IL endwise into the water
This should leave the blade SO that
when tried with 4 file. the file will take
hold just a little. II this test shows
that the blade Is too hard. dip IL In
hnseed oil, hold IL over a slow, clear fire
until the oil ignites, and then dip into
the water again. This will tougher and
enable IL 10 hold its edge bettor. The
grinding should be done on q good, even
faced stone.
! have made many butcher knives in
this way, and have never heard any
complaint about them. There In not
much profit in such work. but Ii helps
10 fill up leisure time.--Cor. Blacksmith
and Wheelwright.

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.


They Forns . Compistsiy Uaitsd Body.
Entsrprising a,ad Harmonious
No State of the Union Is a nation.
though several States exceed Euro
pean natioas both In size and popula-
tion, the State OF New York. for ex-
ample. being both larger and more
populous than the whole OF Switzer-
land; and nn State represents a his
torical nationality. Hence the ex-
perience OF America, IL may be OBJ
served, throws no light on the possi-
bility of using federalism and loca!
autonomy as convenient methods
either for recognizing and giving free
scope TO the sentiment OF nationality
which may exist In any part Of an en-
pire, or for meeting the need for local
institutions anu distinct legislation
which may arise from differences be-
tween such part and tho rest of the
empire. The States, looked at as a
whole, make up the United States.
but the United States are nothing but
the political form into which circum-
stances have nodded the constitution
OF a 3ingle nation. The Americans
are as much one people as the
French or the Italians; they form
more completely united body
than do the inhabitants Of the
United Kingdom. The men you meet
ut New York differ lees from the men
you meet at Chicago than Londoners
from the citizens OF Edinburgh or than
both from the citizens OF Cork. The
difference, indeed. between whites and
blacks Is OF course fundamental. but
the aim OF the negro is 10 initiate To
the best OF his power the ordinary
American citizen. and there does not
exist ut present and, as far rs one
dare prophesy any thing, there Is not
much likelihood there will exist In the
Union any thing like negro national
ity. Mcanwhtle--and this Is Of pri-
mary importance-the division into
States does not correspond with dii-
ferences OF religious creed. An En-
glishman who goes from London TO
Edinburgh enters into new moral at
mosphere Who can pass a month In
Scotland without hearing OF the diff
ferences which divide the Free Church
from the Establishment? What sane
man living In England cares to recall
these subjects Of divisionp The Ro-
man Catholic citizen OF Ticino Is a

man Catholic OF Lueerne; each differs
