Mexican Bonanzas.

Durango and Chihuahua are among
the better known of the mineral regions
of the Mexican States. and they are both
being worked with great profit. The
mine being operated by Boss Shepard is
said to be turning out $4,000 month,
and it has turned out $500, ,000, 900 in the
past. The same State has another dis
trict which has yielded $50, 900, 900 of sill
yer, and there is mine near the city of
chihuahua which produced $40, ,00O, 900
year for 80 years. There are numberof
Pittsburg men who are working the Dur
ango mines, and capitalists from Denver
and Kansas City are investing here. The
Candelaria mine in Durango has yielded
about $50, 900, 900, and there are a mum.
Der of old mines which are being re.
claimed in this district. The State OF
Coahuila, which adjoins Texas on the
north and which is bounded on the east
by Chihuahua and Durango, is another
good mining region. 1t has two mines
which average more than $274 per ton,
and the Santa Rosa mine has produced as
high as $500 ton. An nAmerican COM
pany is working the Santa Gertrudis
mine, and this has produced as high as
81 $3.50 ton. This same State has coal
fields which G. P. Huntington's Mexi-
can road now taps, and new railroad
will shortly be built, l am told, by him
through this State to Monte Rey. The
State of Jalisco is another rich mining
country, and am told that tin mines have
lately been discovered here. There is
said to be tin mountain in this State
which averages 55 per cent of pure tin,
and with the rudest of methods they are
taking out about 600 pounds day. The
mines are about 100 miles from rail-
road, but the tin is so pure that they are
liable to come into competition with the
mines of Dakota and Cornwall ll-Mexi.

BABr's FEET LIKE MONKEYS.
They Have the Same Power OF Grasn-
ing as q Chin nam zee

They Have the Same Power OF crasn.
ing as q Chimpanzee.
How many people have ever taken
notice of baby's foot, except to admire
its pinkness and prettiness2 2" said well
known scientist to a Washington Star
reporter. "And yet to the anatomist 10
is revelation.
Take, for example, the tootsies Of n
child Of 10 months that has never walked
nor stood alone 1t has power OF
grasping to some extent and is used in.
stinctively like a hand.
The great toe has certain independ.
ent working, like q thumb, and the
wrinkles of the sole resemble those Of the
palm. These markings almost entirely
disappear after the pedal extremity has
come to be employed for purposes Of sup
port and locomotion.
The hands and feet of human being
are strikingly like those of the chimpan-
zee in conformation, while the gorilla's
resemblance to man in these respects are
even more remarkable.
The higher apes have been classified
as quadrumana,' or four handed, be-
cause their hind feet are hand SHAPED:
but this designation is very improperly
applied, because the apes posterior ex-
tremities are not really hands at all.
They merely look like hands at the
first glance, whereas, in fact, they are
but feet adapted for climbing. The big
toes can not be opposed to the other
toes as thumbs are to the fingers, but
simply act pincerwise for the purpose Of
grasping.
Now, funnily enough, the sinfant's'
feet have this same power Of grasping
pincer fashion, and the action is per.
formed in precisely the same way.
Advocates of evolutionary theories
take this to signify that the human foot
was originally utilized for climbing trees
also before the species was SO highly de.
veloped as it is now. Also they assera
that the fact that the art of walking erect is
learned by the child with such difficulty
proves that the race has only acquired it
recently"

Growing Old.

When persons reach three score years
and five they may feel and admit that
their mortal powers, physical and intel.
lectual. are beginning to decay; but
when their age extends considerably be-
yond this figure they are often slow to
allow that their bodily and mental
strength is in the least abated. What is
apparent to all others is denied by them
selves. When the Rev. DIR. Perkins, of
West Hartford, was in the neighborhood
of so he wanted colleague; but when
he was 70 he could dispense with one,
being, in his own Judgment, fully COM
petent to do all the pastoral work HIM
self. And it is said of Robert Treat
Paine, who was on the bench of the SUI
preme court in Massachusetts,, that when
he got to be aged, and the bar desired to
have him withdraw from the bench, they
appointed Harrison Gray Otis to 60 and
see him. Mr.. Otis suggested to the
judge that it must be very great incon-
venience for him to leave his home 80
often and for so long.
"Yes, said he, "it is always right to
sacrifice personal preference for the good
of the country"
"But, said Mr. Otis, "judge, you are
not in good health; you are infirm. Are
you not afraid that this excessive work
will kill your"
4Yes, said the Judge; "but man can
not die in a better cause than admins
tering justice"
@But, Judge Paine, do you see as well
as you used to?"
@oh, yes; I can see in my glasses per-
fectly."
do you hear as well as you used tor"
for it was notorious that he could not
hear anything, unless it was bawied in
his ear.
"Oh, yes; / hear perfectly, but they

CRAFT OF THE ANo1rNrs.

A Marvellous Nuptial Yacht and Ves.
sci That Carried 1000 Mem.
Ptolemy Philopater possessed nuptial
yacht, the Thalamegon, 312 feet long and
45 feet deep. A graceful gallery, sup
ported by curiously carved columns,
ran round the vessel, and within were
temples of Venus and of Bacchus. Her
masts were 100 feet high; her sails and
,ordage of royal purple hue.
Probably the largest vessel of remote
ages was one belonging to the same ruler.
She was 420 feet long, 66 feet broad, 70
feet from the top of her PROV to her keel,
and 80 feet from the highest part of her
poop. Her largest oars were 56 feet in
length; she had two prows, two sterns,
and seven beaks or rostra. On both
poop and prows were figures of men and
of animals fully IS feet high. Her crew
consisted of 1000 oarsmen, 5000 soldiers,
and several hundred of other ranks.
Sesostris is said to have had ship 400
feet long, which was covered inside with
silver and outside with gold. This story
causes the adventures of Baron Mum
chausen to pale into insignifcance.-

Western Weakness for Distinguished
Guests.

Martin Chuzzlewit is forgotten, and his
Eden (Which, according to accepted ac-
counts, was Carlo, Ill., has become an
undistinguished city among thousand
others; but the uncomfortably lavish
Western hospitality which insists upon
treating guest as very great person,
and upon his making "levee" of him
self, has not yet entirely been replaced
by Eastern eoldness and formality. Not
long since the wife of Boston editor
had occasion to make study of those
warmhearted Western ways. She was
visiting relatives in new and very bust
ling Kansas city, and her coming had
been announced in advance in para
graph in the local papers, in which her
husbands name and journalistic honors
were stated at length.
The lady arrived. Next morning, on
coming out after breakfast, she was as
tonished to find the street in front of the
house apparently full of horses and car
riages; and, making inquiries, she found
that five private carriages had been
put at her disposition for the entire
time of her stay. Nor had their
owners been content with sending her
word, politely, that the outfits"
were at her disposition; they had sent
the actual horses and carriages in good
season, and drivers with them. OF course
the lady could not accept them all, and.
in order not to be invidious, she had to
send them all back for the time being.
However, she did not fail Of an oppor-
tunity to drive about and see the very
fine country about the town. Within 48
hours she had received no fewer than so
calls from people who came to pay
their compliments, and who paid them
with great generosity and enthusiasm.
One gentleman, pointing her out to the
members of the family. exclaimed inn
pressively, my dears, want you to see
the wife of live Boston editor!' All Of
which was distressing to the lady, be-
cause she is of an extremely shy and re-
tiring nature, and always avoids, at
home, any sort of conspicuousness.- .-Bos-
