The annual opening ball of the
Standard club was held last evening
at its rooms in the Krell & Math
building, being the commencement
OF the social season among the tri-
city Jewish people. 1t was most
uniquely arranged affair. The rooms.
which have just beech overhauled
and repapered, were transformed into
a veritable scene of beauty and mag
niicence, the walls being draped
with evergreen and other appropriate
decorations, while palms and potted
plants nicely arranged added fra
GRANGE to the beauty of the evenings
festivities. Prof. Schillinger's or
chestra, OF five pieces, furnished de-
lightful music, to the sweet strains
OF which the merry lovers of terpsi-

announced. The march, led by Mr.
and Mrs. Joseph Froelich. the former

been done to the refreshments, the
ball room was sought again and the
dance resumed, which lasted until
about 2 O'Clock, when the merry
makers departed for their respective

Time for Reflection.

At BARRIERS shop recently, a
most laughable trick was played of
on some neighbors.
The room was we'll filled with
customers, and the chance of get
ting shaved in hurry was out of
the question.
A small man with waggish
look came to the door, and after sur
veying the crowd walked in and
took seat on the bench.
a.. How far is it to doctor'sp" asked
the strange gentleman.
Just across the way" replied
one of the men.
II feel bad" said he, and at the
same time spasm took him, and
his hands clenched and his legs
drew up in perfect ball.
At last he rolled OH the floor.
That's a cholera case" said one,
and he took his hat and left, saying
he'd got an appointment.
This was the signal, and all fol-
lowed suit, except those ungergo-
ing the shaving operation.
Then the spasm seemed to sub
side.
The strangers arms and legs
stretched out at full length and the
patient lay PROSTATE OH his back.
wipe off this lather," said the
fat man next the door; "I'll be in
again; can't stop now"
Just then another spasm took
the stranger, and by some move
ment he pounced upon the bench,
without any apparent effort, fiat on
his back, as he lay on the floor.
He rolled up in ball again, and
rolled backward and forward on the
bench in style that would have
done credit to circus man.
This was a finisher.
Those who were shaved left, and
those not shaved didn't stay.
The cholera subject uncoiled him.
self and asked then if his turn had
come, when he took his seat and
had a good shave.
whats the charger" asked the
stranger.
1.-TWO dollars and twenty'cents,"
said the barber. you see I've lost
twenty-one customers through your
antics.
Then the joker paid up and left,
a sadder but wiser man.

A Backward People.

The inhabitants Of Mexico do
not make one years progress in a
hundred" said a gentleman who re-
turned recently from a visit into
the interior of the country. "They
still retain primitive ways and cling
to ancient customs which were old
when Abraham was alive. A per-
son does not have to go out of this
continent to see strange life and
manners. Mexico furnishes field
for the study of such things, that
will stand comparison with that Of
any other country. In travelling
down there recently, some dis
tance from our objective point, we
came upon a place called San Cedro,
beautiful stretch of country where
Scotch syndicate had put $1,000
600 into purchasing several hun
dred thousand acres and developing
it. Although the Scotchmen had
one Of their number as superintend-
ent, Mr.. Ross, they utilize the ma
tives for laborers. In going around
| noticed a large number of prim-
tive wooden ploughs, single-handed
affairs, having a beam fully ten or
twelve feet long. Knowing that
European capital was backing the
enterprise, expressed my surprise
that the modern steelp pillow was not
used instead of the clumsy, awkard,
wooden ones | saw. Mr.. Ross then
told me that he was Disguised in his
attempts to convert the. Mexicans
over to the civilized method of plow-
ing. He said that he had furnished
them with steel plows, such as are
used in other countries, but would
invariably have them returned to
him with one handle cut off. He
told me it was impossible to get a
Mexican to use double-handled
pillow, and that his attempts had
been so futile and unsatisfactory
he had concluded to let them do
blowing in their own way. The
single-handled pillow is used exclu-
sively in Mexico, and it is the one,
Notwithstanding its awkard appear
ance, that the government utilities
in its agricultural schools. visit
ed one of these schools in the City
of Mexico, and there in field saw
a number of students being taught
how to handle two of these long,
single-handled wooden plows.
There were eight men to each pillow,
and the awkward manner in which
the instructors themselves turned
the implement about did not augur
well for the skill Of the students
after their course was finished. The
modern steel pillow is sold in Mexico,
but is never used without having
one of the handles removed. With
all these primitive methods, Mexi-
cans have no trouble in raising their
crops. Nature evidently appreciat-
ing their lack of progressiveness,
has been kind to them, or perhaps,
the generosity of that all-kind
mother is accountable for their Pc
culiar natures, at least, on ground
which is cultivated and irrigated,
Mexicans can raise from two to three
crops year. '-Pittsburg Dispatch.
