Mexico's Era of Pro sperIty.

To whom is due the past ten years
peace and prosperity2 TO President
Poriirio Diaz alone. And even il there
are two or three ugly little "reminiscences
during them, they were forced upon him
for tue good of the commonweal.
The country has been actually ut
peace for the first time since its birth.
From being an Ultima Thule, it has
taken its place among the nations. Its
railroads, telegraphs, electric lighting,
steamboat lines, It's diplomatic relations
with other countries, the development Of
its wonderful natural riches--mines, tim
Der, hemp, coffee, tobacco, sugar, rub.
Der, and an in!inity of other things
and, above all, its educational system
oil these are due to the brains and de-
termination of Por6rio Diaz. Long may
he live to govern the countryl Never
mind the anomaly of the government
being called republic when it is really
military dcspotism. If your dcspot is
m able and honest man, it is the best
form of government the world knows.
There is now really no strong man IN
Mexico to take Diaz's place. General
Corona--murdered, alas by lunatic q
short while ago-was broad and able
enough to have succeeded him, but there
is no man else.-Har per's Weekly.

The brain of the creature they kill Is
usually first eaten, and the body of tho
victim kept as supply near the haunt
OF the little hunter. The generally &C.
cepted idea Of the weasel being mere
blood sucker is not borne out by obser
walton; they always try to sink their teeth
in the brain when they first strike at
their game; missing that mark, they will
fly at the throat.
The weasel has been known to boldly
attack dogs, and even men, when its nest
is invaded. This is lined up with DR.,
leaves, grass, etc., and Is generally lodged
in some snug locality, such as a crevice
In the bank, the hollow Of tree, a
rabbit burrow; here four or five young
are brought up from such births, aud the
number of filters varies in the year nc.
cording TO the temperature and food.
When the supply of subsistence is abund.
ant, and the weather not very cold, two
and three such filters will be brought
forth every year.
The words of Audubon, however, in
summing up few of the characteristics
of the weazel more than fifty years ago,
canuot DO forgotten, especially where no
speaks of the fact that "it is a notorious
and hated depredator of the poultry
house, and we have known forty we'll
grown fowls to have been killed in Que
night by single crmiue "-Americau
Farmer.

Remarkable leo Shalt.

There is n remarkable ice shaft not far
from York, Montana. 1t is freak of
nature formed in an abandoned shaft
sunk by miners in old New York gulch
in Meagher county.
This gulch was very rich for drift dig
gers in early days. 1t paid as high rs
$500 to four foot set of timbers, which
two miners could easily put in with n
days work. Several years ago two
miners sunk ashaft along one side of tho
gulch, about three miles above its mouth,
or where the gulch cmpties into Trout
creek. The shaft was put down about
fifty-fve feet below the surface of tho
gulch, and 1t was we'll timbered from tho
bottom to the top, with n good, stout
ladder to go down on.
The miners struck tho run OF the
gulch, aud missing the pay streak they
abandoned the shaft, as it was of no
more use to them.
There has since formed about midway
Of the shaft IL solid mass OF ice clear
around the shaft, with the exception of
n small air-holc in its center. 1t is frozen
to the timbers OF the shaft. There ia no
water dripping from the sides aud mono
in the bottom OF the shaft. But there Is
n solid body Of ice ut the bottom. What
seems very strange is that the ice in the
shaft is more abundant and forms faster
in the warmest summer weather than it
does in the winter months.
The mass OF ice in the center of the
shaft, or about halfway down from the
surface, is abou. six feet thick, with IN
air. hole through the center that will per-
NIT the passage of mans body. BY
putting down rope one can go to tho
bottom easily.
A strong, cold current of dir contin.
ually comes up from below. It is 30 cold
in the shaft that n person cnn stay in it
but short time and even then he mus.
be dressed in his winter funnels to keep
from freezing. The ice ia the shaft
melts away great deal in the coolest
winter weather, while in tho summer
months it keeps forming and does not
melt ut ALL
In the summer the leo freezes on the
rounds Of the latter clear to the top of
the shaft. Observers have seen the sun
shine on the ice on the top rounds Of the
ladder three Or four hours in the middle
of the warmest summer days without
melting any of it. In the winter the ice
will all melt off the top rounds.
Though the shaft was of no use to the
miners who put it down, it is of great
use to the families around the town of
York in the warm summer months. For
there is where they get their supply OF
ice. Muny gallons of ice cream arc made
in the town daily in the warm weather
by the mid of ice taken from the shaft.
For several years past there has never
been time where there was not enough
ice in the SHIFT to supply town twice
the size of York. Any resident of York
can verify the statement in regard to this
singular ice shaft. Chicago News.

A Madagascar Festival.

"Thc capital of Madagascar" says
Frederick Taylor in the New York Sun,
''is city of some 100, 900 people, of whom
not more than thirty IRE Europeans.
There are some fine buildings, notably the
palace. The Queen keeps n standing
army, miserable wretcbes who are obliged
to uniform themselves, but who are well
provided with arms. They are fuirly
good shots. In their uniforms they pre-.
sent rather amusing spectacle. Some
OF them have shirts, some Of them simple
wraps of cotton cloth, and let me say
that I frequently saw going to the
churches established by the missionaries
men with no other garment than u piece
of white sheeting bearing the familiar
blue label of one of the American cotton
mills, and also wearing stovep.pe hat
of very ancient make, OF which they
were very proud.
at was my good fortune to be in the
capital at the time of the fan drona fes-
tival, which, in other words, is nothing
but the sacred festival of the Queer an
nual bath. On the day before the festi-
val the mobiles and the invited guests, OF
whom / was one, were assembled in the
room in the palace and were seated Turk
fashion upon the floor or ground. The n
there WAS feast, and In the evening
torches were lighted all around the city,
and in such manner as to indicate the
tradition of the ancient fire worshippers.
On the following day there was another
feast. The mobiles built fire, cooked
rira in ,,H,o l.
was left over from the feast of the year
before, which had been carefully pre-.
served by jerking. 1t is sacriiege to
allow bit of this meat to be wasted. In
addition to that they brought bullock g
meat, and they cut bit of flesh out OF
the flank of live bullock and brought il
to me as a special honor, and it was then
cooked, and of course, out of courtesy,
was obliged to cat it. During the feast
the Queen sat on her throne, presiding
over the ceremony with great dignity,
and by her side was her husband, man
sixty-tive years Of age, although he
looked much younger. After the feast
the Queen retired to an apartment join
ing the feasting hail and there she took
her bath in silver bathtub. A half
hour later she returned, bearing in her
hands large silver bowl perforated like
the nozzle OF watering-pot, and then
she went around sprinkling every one of
the mobiles and guests, and blessing the
water as she did so. When she came to
me, rs mark of special favor my inter-
prefer said, she not only sprnkled me
but she tilted the vessel so that was
we'll drenched with this sacred water.
This is the great sacred festival Of the
year, and although it is the festival of
the Queens annual bath, it is not just to
infer that her Majesty takes only one
bath year, but she takes only one
sacred bath. The Queen has no children,
and when her reign ends the throne will
pass to the next in line, person who is
now boy of some eight OF nine years of
ape.n
