A FOURTH OF JULY IN MEXICO.
The Texan Had Fought Against the Flag.
but His Heart Was True

A number of old-timers were discus
sing their Fourth of July experiences
the other evening. In 1876 l spent
the glorious Fourth in Chihua hua,
Mex, and the Americans there came
near having chance to fight for the
flag" said Dave O'NeiL Most of the
Americans were southerners and Tex
ans. and all were determined that the
Fourth should be properly celebrated
The MexicanS at that time did not ike
Americans, and there was lots of bad
blood between the two nationalities
The day OF the Fourth early n the
morning we ran up the flag OF the
United States on the fag-pole IN front
of the hotel where the Mexican flag
waved on fcte days. All went wei. I'M
I. about twelve o'clock
by that time the Mexicaas began TO
gather courage from liquor and were
ugly. A crowd collected around our
flag and made sighting remarks about
our country and celebration The
crowd increased in numbers and cour-
age, and finally someone suggested
that they tear down the flag. The SUE
gestiou pleased the MOB and they

CRITICISM AS LUXURY.

Chronic Fault-Finders Who Find Their
Prime Pleasure in Making Some One
Unhappy.
There is, once in awhile, person,
said a veteran journalist, who is a
keen student of human nature, whose
| highest idea of pleasure is to find fault.
There are people of whom it is said
that they are never happy unless they
are misera bic; but this class seem never
| to be happy unless they are making
some one unhappy or trying in some
way to cause irritation and discomfort.
II by any hook or crook they can find a
! peg in somebody's words or conduct
| upon which they can hang an objec-
ton, it is, metaphorically, peaches and
cream for them. They are industrious
! in seeking for such occasions, and
when once found, they buzz about
them like a fly around sugar-bowl.
That their criticisms are often i'm
pertinent, and much more often i'll
timed, is a matter that seems to
trouble them not whit. Indeed. one
might fancy that this was precisely
what they were aiming at. Many of
their outbreaks are provoked by new
ideas, or, what is quite to the same
purpose, things they never happened
to hear of. This after reason is to
them, ample provocation for fault
finding. New ideas are all right if
they originate them, but woe be to
the unfortunate persons who suggest
something different without their APP
prevail.
''There are few forms of impertinent
meddllEg more annoying than that
which breaks out into unreasoning
criticism of acts and ideas that are
little out of the common. The plea
that certain things are not right be-
cause they have not been is the plea Of
ignorance and narrow-mind edness
Many years ago a man in the prime of
life sat upon the steps of the cap
itol building at Washington and wept
bitter tears because he was called
fool,a crank and lunatic for insisting
that messages could be sent from one
part of the country to another over an
electric wire. To-day the name of
Morse stands high on the roll of the
worlds greatest benefactors. The
principal reasons given for disbelief in
his theory were that such things had
never been heard of, and consequently
had no claim to recognition. If Morse
and the worlds great inventive brigade
had been extinguished by the narrow
minded criticism of those who never
heard of it the world would to-day lack
many of its comforts and Injuries. The
never-heard-of-its' are ever with us,
but we must bear with them as best we
can, for they are likely to remain with
US, world without end. NY. Led ger.

1.-THE news of the Texans stand
spread like wildfire, and all the Ameri-
cans in town ran to his assistance. We
were about two hundred in number
and scattered the moi of Mexicans
without trouble and placed strong
guard around the pole. The military
governor of the state sent for COM
mittee to confer with him. We insisted
that he should send company of
soldiers to guard the flag before we
would withdraw our guard. He had
to consent or we would have captured
the town, garrison OF soldiers, and all.
The flag waved proudly that day and
for two days afterwards, and all the
time it was guarded By Mexican soldiers

PCTTERS AND DUST POISON.
They Suffer From Respiratory Troubles
and Finally Die.

| Potters are among those who suffer
most accutely from the inhalation of
| dust. The atmosphere in which they
work is charged with minute particles
given off from the dried clay and from
the ware as it rapidly rotates under
the workers tool during the process of
finishing. The evil is aggravated when
the workshops are low and ill-venti-
| lated.
The visitor who finds his way to the
cherries regions of the potteries may
very likely go away with the impress
sion that the operatives are not partic-
ularly to be pitied. But the mortality
statistics of the potteries suggest that
DEATHS head and crossbones would
be an appropriate trademark for the
district. Statistics give but q faint
and colorless picture unless one can fill
in the gloomy shadows which are as
ISOLATED with the region of premature
death.
The aspect of the potteries is, in
truth, funereal enough for anything;
the people pass from the white powder
of the factories out into blackness Of
street worse than that of Manchester;
the forlorn and dilapidated appearance
of great part of the streets and build
ings, the ragged edges of grimy brick
which forms the outskirts OF the series
of towns, and above all the dreary &C
foundations of broken potsherds from
the factories and Stag from the adjoin-
ing mines are, perhaps not uniting
surroundings for district where il is
the regular thing for the people to fin
ish with this life before they have
reached two score and ten. The aver
age age of the male potter is forty-six
and one-hatf years.
The dust does not kill suddenly. but
it settles year after year little more
firmly into the lung, until case of
plaster is formed; breathing becomes
more and more difficult and depressed
and finally ceases. Some processes are
much more deadly than others. The
women who scour the china, for in
stance. are exposed to perpetual cloud
of tiny particles of flint dust the jag
ged edges of which are peculiarly in
furious, and the towers" whose BUSH
ness it is to put fine surface on the
revolving plate by means of sandpa per,
are exposed to the constant play of the
clay dust. If these two classes OF
workers were isolated, the death sta
tistics would be something appalling.
1t is a rare thing to find a woman
who has worked for any time in either
of these departments free from respira-
tory troubles. But all who deal with
the clay suffer more or less. Taking
the deaths among all classes OF male
workers in the potteries. the percent
age caused by phthisis and respiratory
diseases is three times as great as for
the rest of the adult population. Lead
poison is another of the potter's enc
mics. The glaze which glistens upon
our cups and saucers contains a large
quantity of raw white lead and all the
horrors of lead poisoning by the quick
and by the slow method are suffered
by those classes of workers who handle
it before it is fred. -Fortnightly Re
