Old-Fooy NIexicans.

A recent traveller in Mexico says the
natives are unwilling to adopt modern
ways, and it is nearly impossible to
make them change. An Englishman en-
gagged in mining put up hosting plant
but found at once that it was money
thrown away, as the worllmen would
not consent to its use. They had long
been accustomed to carry the ore in
sacks supported by broad canvass
band passing over their foreheads, and
to receive so much for each sack deliv-
cred at the mouth of the shaft. To get
it there an ascent of over two hundred
feet had to be made by means of lad
ders, and accordingly progress was very
slow. But nothing would induce them
to use the hosting machinery, and it
had to be abandoned, every man work
ing in the old fashion.

His Emotions.
My wife came to see me, but she did
not try to have me released. demand

me. Then | realized that the whole
community was against me. | became
SO wroth that my anger seemed to hang
over me like dark cloud. 1t pressed
me to the floor and held me there. Men
came after long time and took me
away, | thought to another prison.
One day a cat came into my cell, and
tried to bite her. She made the hair
fly. but killed her.
| don't know how long I remained
here, but one morning the sun rose and
shone in at me through the window 1t

seen the great luninary for months. A
mist cleared from before my eyes. My
brain began to work and suddenly l
realized that l had been insane.

saw me he exclaimed: "Thank Heaven!''
and grasped my hand. 1 was not long
in putting on another suit of clothes
and turning my face toward home. A
physician said that 1 was cured and

CANINE INSTINCT.
E, Case in Which it Resembled Human
Reason.

W
Reason.
On one occasion, lately, writes j. A.
Bartlett in Longman's Magazine, Lon
don, particularly fine Newfoundland
dog was sitting on a wooden bridge dis
cussing bone, when predatory mas
tiff came along, and, being unable or
unwilling to distinguish between menm
and tuum, smart alteration arose.
So violent became the debate, that both
suddenly overbalanced and fell into
the stream beneath. The nearest land
ing place was hundred yards down,
and to it the Newfoundland betool1
himself without much difficulty, and,
after good shake, was preparing to
depart, when he suddenly became
aware that the other dog, who was
more of soldier than sailor, was
wildly beating the water and drowning
as fast as he could drown. One look
was enough. In went he of the shaggy
coat, and selling the other dog by the
collar, brought his late enemy safely to
land. The two dogs then eyed each other
with anperfectly indescribable express
sion for some seconds, then silently and
solemnly wagged their caudal append
ages, and with dignity departed. Some
will, no doubt say this was but instinct,
and they may be right; but prefer to
give my four-footed friends the benefit
of the doubt

wooDcHucKs AS CLIMBERS.
The Fact Established That They Can and
Do Climb Trees.


Do Climb Trees.
Some people have long asserted that
the woodchuck can climb trees as read
| lily as the bear can, and that in the
early summer they habitually seek the
branches of apple and other fruit trees
to feed on the tender and juicy young
leaves. This assertion has been ridi-
culed by others, who say that it is i'm
possible for woodchuck to climb a
tree, the animal not being physically
capable of performing such a feat
That the woodchuck can and does
climb trees, however, was demon
strated in most unmistakable manner
in an eastern village few days ago.
R. Beck, president of the Hammonds
port On. Y. board of education, was
sitting in the door in the rear of store
when he saw big woodchuck come
stealing along gravelly knoll across
the creek, not more than a hundred
yards distant. The woodchuck stopped
at the foot of a tree, inspected it for a
moment and then climbed it with the
ease of a squirrel, but going up as a
bear climbs tree. Beck called others
to witness the sight. The woodchuck
did not remain long in the tree, and
came down, letting itself down rump
first. 1t then went up another tree,
where it could be seen making feast
on the tender leaves. After enjoying
the novel sight for some time a citizen
got his rifle and picked the woodchuck
from its perch. The animal was very
fat, weighing nearly twenty pounds.

SHOOTING THE lZARD.
One Must Be Good IarIxsman and Fire
Quickly.

Quickly.
lie VOLTA! Tirez, tirezl'' and there,
trotting along, casting dark shadow
on the white snow, was an lizard about
one hundred and seventy-five yards
above me, writes Paul Van Dyke in
Scribner7s- l unslung my rife and fol-
lowed with the sight. He stopped for an
instant. Crack! He whirled and trot-
ted back again, stopped, crack and,
with bound, he disappeared among
the rocks. We watched in vain for his
temperance and turned to mount, ex-
changing mutual condolences. Sud
denly ''Voiqa!" and there he was again
on the other snow field at our right.
Crack! went the Winchester, and then
he seemed to understand for the first
time where the trouble came from, for
he was off like the wind, while | emptied
the three remaining cartridges of my
magazine at the flying clouds of snow.
The miss was set down to the naturtl
nervousness at the first izard and it
was not until some hours afterward
that | noticed arrangement of the
rifle sights which would have made it
impossible to kill at twenty yards 1t
was the first piece of bad luck.
