Mexican Soldiers Tricks.

Mr.. Thomas A. Janvier tells some things
about the Mexican army in Harper's which
will seem extremely odd to Americans, but
especially so to those interested in military
affairs Many of the recruits are convicts
who have been drafted into the military SER
vice, and consequently assertions are very
numerous. Sometimes" says Mr.. Janvier,
"a rather humorous ingenuity is shown in
slipping out of military bondage. In Mon
terey, one rainy night in March, 1888, more
than score of men belonging to regiment
drawn up at railroad station, in waiting
for the arrival of the president, succeeded in
getting away by the device Of placing their
caps on the butts of their muskets the bay
onent driven in the ground at their places in
the ranks.
by the uncertain torchlight the platoona
seemed unbroken, and it was only when the
order to march was given, and the regiment
marched away and left the cap bearing mus
kets standing scattered over the ground, that
the trick was discovered by the officers An
other peculiar thing is that no baggage train
is needed by these soldiers, for they carry all
that they need on their backs, even though
the wives and the children of the private
soldier sometimes accompany them. Blu,
while wagons are not necessary to carry the
soldiers impedimenta, they are required te
transport their pay, which is always in sill

Ostriches Race for Figs.

Some time ago a gentleman visited pen OF
tame ostriches in Africa. At his call two
beautiful birds came up to him. Being de-
sirous of testing their speed, he arranged with
the keeper that they should run race. SO
he caressed the birds and showed them a
handful of figs, of which they are very fond,
The ostriches were held while the visitor
walked to certain distance. At signal
they were set free and began to run for the
figs.
They came bounding along at terrific
rate. taking twelve or fourteen feet at g
stride. They ran neck and neck for more
than half the distance, their wings working
like arms and making great sound. FIRES
