The UNIVERSAL siesta,

The Mexicans themselves live much
more cheaply than we do. Themorn-
ing meal, even among the richest class
es, consists OF only a cup OF chocolate
or coffee, with plain bread or sweet
cake. The MeXicans eat this by dipping
it into the chocolate, and they often
take this meal in bed. Coffee is served
in your rooms at all the hotels, if you
desire it, and if you live like Mexicans
you will find your charges much less.
The second breakfast is served at 10
or l o'clock. and at this all the family
sit down, and it is really q dinner
rather than q breakfast. Soup is
always served at it, and the Mexicans
have 100 different kinds OF soup. The
evening meal is taken about z o'clock
and at this the family meet, as at the
second breakfast. No work isdone by
anyone in Mexico orabout two hours
after this midway breakfast, and the
business hours here are from 8 to l2
and from 3 to 6. Between 1 and 8
the whole city sleeps or gossips, and
after z o'clock you will FIND none
OF the stores open. Mexican bread is
almost altogether made by the
bakers, is fairly good and tastes very
much like the French bread. I have
not had a waffle nor a griddle cake
since | came into the country, and I
look in vain on every bill Of fare for
hot biscuits and pie. do not find
the Mexican dishes half ashot as they
are painted, and doubt not but that
their cuisine is fully as healthful as
ours.-Frank G. Carpenter.

Pats Device.

The graceful hint succeeds best. II
it is also witty, it is pretty sure to
prove irresistible. Up one OF the long
hills OF County Wicklow, says the Ut,-
ca Times, amare was drawinga heavy
load OF travellers. The driver walked
by her as shetoiled slowly and YEARLY
along.
The six passengers were too busily
engaged in conversation to notice how
slowly the a progressed. Presently
the driver opened the door at the
a OF the rear and slammed it again.
Those inside started, but thought that
he was assuring himself that the door
wassecurely closed.
Again Pat opened and slammed the
door; The travellers inquired angrily
why he disturbed them in that man
ner.

''Who?"
"The mare. spake low" he contin-
ued, putting his hand owe his mouth
and nose. "Sure, I'm desavin' the
crayture! Every time she hears the
door slammin' that way she thinks
one OF yez is gettin' down to walk up
the hill, and that raises her sperrits."
The passengers took the hint.

An Interesting Discovery.

Ernst Curtius, the renowned Greek
scholar and archaologist of the Uni
versity of Berlin. has made an inter-
esting discovery regarding the knowl-
edge of the Greek sculptors. During
the examination of a number of heads
found in Greece, Curtius devoted much
time to the study of the eye. On ex-
tending his observations to the ayes Of
perfect figures from the classical
period he learned that the sculptors
made considerable difference in the
forms of the male and female eyes.
While the eyes of the male were
rounder and more arched, those of the
females were longer and flatter.
These observations agree with the
measurements of anatomists to-day.
The discovery that the Greeks we're
aware of this difference also will be
valuable in determining the identity
of many heads in the museums of the
world. In numerous cases it has been
impossible to say whether the heads
have belonged to statues of men or
statues of women. Professor Curtius
will soon publish an accurate account
of his observations.

SAVAGE MARRIAGES.
Queer Ceremonies by Which tho Bride

groom Receives His Bride.
Compared with the simple rites of less
civilized people. our marriage ceremo.
ny seems a trying ordeal for a young
n bashful couple to go through.
The Cherokee form of marriage is per-
haps the simplest and most expressive
OF any. The man and woman merely
join hands over a running stream, en-
blematical of the wish that their future
lives, hopes and aspirations should
flow on in the same channel.
Between the mountains of India and
Persia is q powerful tribe, among
whom an extraordinary custom pre-
walls. Women's rights apparently
have received full recognition, for the
ladies of the tribe can choose their
W husbands. All a single lady has
to do when she wishes to change her
state is to send q servant to pin a
handkerchief to the hat of the man on
whom her fancy lights. and he is
obliged to marry her, except he can
show he is too poor to purchase her at
the price her father requires.
The way the Singalese and Tartar
tribes have of popping the question is
about as singular as their marriage
rites. The man sends and purchases
the lady's wearing apparel. OF course
if she does not like the gentleman she
need not part with the contents of her
wardrobe, but if he is the favored one
she readily does SO, knowing that
when the evening comes they will
be returned to her by the sutton in
person.
In certain parts of Africa a custom
once prevailed (and may Silly of the
intended bride bringing a bowl or
calabash of water for the bridegroom
to wash his hands in. If he conde-
scended to do so she there and then
acknowledged him as her lord and
master, and, moreover, drank the
water as a proof of her love and fidel-
ity, and cases have been known where
a copious shedding of tears of Joy and
thankfullness accompanied the latter
act.
In some parts of India an extraor-
binary marriage ceremony is perform
ed. The bridegroom, bride and priest
drive a COW and calf into the water,
and then all three lay a hand on the
cows tail while the priest pours some
water on it from a brass vessel, by
which act the couple are Joined for
ever in the bonds of matrimony. The
priest claims the COW and calf, to-
gether with all money the happy pair
may give to the idols to propitiate
them, as a recompense for his trouble.
When a young Savoyard goes a-woo-
ing he pays considerably more atten-
ton TO the admired ones fire than her
face. If she leaves the billets of wood
undisturbed on the hearth j: is a sign
he is welcome; but should she place
n OF the blazing faggots in an up
right position against the others it is
a hint for him to take his departure.

Looking Out For Himself.

McGinnis. Gilhooly, who waspresent,

Two Kinds of Sleepers

In noticing two men whe were sleep.
ing on a short journey today, l could
not but note the difference in attitude
and eyeless expression of the slumber-
ing mes. One was limp as a muslin
sash. His mouth was open. His
head wobbled about and his whole
appearance indicated complete subju-
CATION and a mental blank. At the
other end of the seat another man
was sleeping, but he looked as if he
then invited sleep to visit him for a
little. His head was thrown back,
his face firmly fixed and his uninter-
rupted breathing deep. One sleeper
was pleasing to look upon, for even in
his slumber he had a self-control which
vas wanting in the other, and the alb
sence OF it made him ridiculous and q
little disgusting.-Toronto Globe.

A Terrible Explosion,

In July, 1888, came that terrible ex-
plosion in Japan which blew the
mountain of Bandai San into the air,
killing many people, while the frag-
ments of the shattered mountain fall
ing into the rivers damned them SO
completely that three large lakes
were formed. The agricultural land
vas ruined by the ashes and lava that
covered it. The great calamity seems
to be providing its W compensation.
for most of the men of that district
have turned their attention to fishing
in the three new lakes. which are said
to TEEN with fish of various kinds.
They are thus beginning to recoup
themselves in a measure for the loss
sustained by the eruption.

INFECTION DUE TO SHAVING.
What a Leading British Medical
journal Says on the Subject.

What a Leading British Medical
journal Says on the Subject.
Notwithstanding that the subject
has recently given rise to some discus
sion in the daily press, therecan beno
reasonable doubt as to the cadsation
OF parasitic sycosls, and the frequent
responsibility OF BARRIERS for its pro-
pagation, says the London Lancet.
We will not deny that the disease may
occasionally arise from accidental
contact other than that of infected
soap and brush. Its close connection
with these, however, is afirmedbyt the
evidence OF a common and persistent
sequence OF events. We need not dwell
upon the tenacity with which it clings
to the hair OF the face, nor will we ex-
anime the methods used by the der
matologist for it's destruction.
Sanitary cleanliness is here better
than any remedy, and the assertion
OF this important fact is the result of
the somewhat lengthy newspaper
correspondence already mentioned.
1t has been impressed by different
writer's in various ways. Thus we
are advised to shave ourselves, to
avoid the cheap barber, to use pre-
cautions with brushes and the like.
Perhaps the advise first given would
prove the best, but the professional
operator is to many persons indis-
pensable. The truest wisdomfor one
self in such a cast is clearly to use due
care in selecting a barber. Whatever
he is not, he must be clean and care
full. 1t should not be forgotten that
there IRE possible safeguards we'll
within the reach OF this class of
tradesmen which q customer may
fairly exact for his own security as
part OF the common law of shaving.
These include the use of perfectly
fresh water and soap, or preferably
shaving cream, as admitting of exclu-
sive use, a clean brush, and a clean
razor for each person shaved. We
should also advise, as a further but
not super1uous precaution, that
instruments after washing be dipped
in some convenient antiseptics solution.
Such measures as these require but
little time to carry them out. They
are needtul in order to insure immun-
ity from contagion, and the poorest
will find them worth q small addition
to the BARRIERS trade.

1T WAS VERY FUNNY.

OF course it was a good Joke.
Hadn't the boss said that he didn't
want everybody in the Office running
in to see him On every little pretextP
Hadn't he told one of the clerks that
if the latter wanted anything brought
to his attention he should speak to his
Immediate superior and have the mat
ter come to him through the proper
channels?
Naturally, in view of this, every one
was tickled when the assistant book
keeper said to the b~ook-keeper:
Mn. Smith will you please ask Mr..
Brown to ask Mr.. Wilkins to ask Mr..
johnson to ask the boss if 1 can get
off Friday at 4 o'clock?"
The book-keeper saw the humor of
the thing. says the Chicago Tribune,
and promptly delivered the message
to Mr.. Brown, and so it went up step
by step to the boss, who smiled a
sickly sort of smile when the request
vas repeated to him.
..'Ah, yes" he said. 1.-The assistant
bookkeeper seems to be a great stick

Eyes, sir" returned Mr.. johnson;
she was anxious that the request
should reach you through the proper
channels"
"Quite right, =" said the boss. CHOW,
I might call him in and give him my
answer in person, but that would
hardly be in conformity with his idea
of propriety, would it?"
"Well, sir, 1 suppose it is only a
little joke"
Eyes, yes, of course. Very anus
ing, this step ladder business. Now,
Mr.. johnson, will you please tell Mr..
Wilkins to tell Mr.. Brown to tell Mr..
Smith to tell the assistant bookkeeper
that his services are dispensed with.
And while you are passing the mes
sage down you might add that if we
have any more of this step ladder
business I'll kick the whole ladder

along the Nile intone these words:
"lIear us for we are very old, and it
is hard for us to speak. We were

yet navigation was unborn. These

See the painted columns ofPhile, and

Strange Superstition In Russia.
A curious case of gross s~uperstitit

A curious cas- of gross superstition
recently brought before the Criminal
Sessions Court at Samara, in Russia.
Six peasants were tried and sentenced
to Imprisonment for terms of various
duration up to four months for de-
liberately disinterring the body of a
woman who had died of intoxication
and floating it down the Volga as a
means OF causing rain. It seems to be
quite a fixed belief among the Russian
p~easantry that throwing the dead
body of a drunkard into the river IL q
sur cure for want of rain.
