An Interesting Mexican village.

Tetxtcingo is the euphonious name OF a
village Of / ,O00 inhabitants, in the district
of Morelos, state Of Morelos, which has

its founders, who settled there in the re-
mote past. The inhabitants are all In
dians of the purest Mexican or Aztec
blood. They scorn the idea of intermix-
ture or intermarriage with any other race.
Their boast is that they are pure Mexicans.
They all s. the native language. "A

Social Equality Rules.

Whenever men are remanded to situa-
tion where personal worth has sway, So
cial equality roappoars among them. In
danger of any kihd in times of great hard
ship. in periods of struggle or suspense,
In moments of patriotic emotion, cquatfty
again characterizes life, and one man Is as
good as another. In new countries, where
people live in the need OF ncighborhood
and kindliness, equality is the rule: they
laugh at the notion of anything else. That
Is the reason why equality was - lSng the
ideal of America, for here we were every
where cmancipated from the old classiflca-
tions by the necessity which knows no eti-
quette. We were forced to simplify our
selves. The new world, while it was new,
had no use for the distinctions and differ
ences of an older ciyility, and the eastern

whole section incredulous of claims which

INSTANCES OF TELePATHY.
Examples Of Mind Action That Arc Said
20 Be Authentic.

The following examples Of telepathic ac-
ts)n arc known 10 the writer, w. j. Col
villo as authentic instances of the action
of mind with mind without expectation or
preconcerted plan. During the Worlds
fair Mrs. A. was frequently thinking OF
her nephew, Mr.. H., who was enjoying
few weeks vacation In Chicago, while she
remained In Boston. On the 10Th OF Au-
gust, 1S93 Mrs. A. attended evening serv-
ice In certain church, and during the
sermon, feeling a sense OF drowsiness coma
over her, suddenly felt transported to the
fair grounds In Chicago. 1t was little
after p. IN. In Boston, and consequently
about o'clock In Chicago, when the cleo
trio illumination Of the exposition gardens
and buildings was just beginning. The
lady, DOING In the church more than ], 900
miles away, saw the great buildings light
cd up one by one as II by magic, the whole
scene appealing as an enchanted fairyland.
In the midst Of the brilliant spectacle she
distinctly saw her nephew walking with
two young men, TO one Of whom he sud
denly exclaimed, "Oh. Alfred how wish
my aunt were here TO enjoy this"
Two days later Mrs. A. received an in
teresting letter from Mr.. H., in which he
detailed his experiences at the fair and in
cuded this sentence In his description Of
the brilliant illumination on the evening
of Aug. 15, that being his first visit on the
grounds after p. m: ~ said TO one Of
my companions, oh, ALFRED, how I wish
my aunt were here TO enjoy this! and as I
spoke felt you were close beside mo and
continued walking with mo for at least
ten minutes" Whatever may be the solu-
tion of so strange phenomenon, 1t seems
incredible that the threadbaro explanation
conveyed in tho term conscience" should
beproffered to account for SO remarkable
an occurrence.
A few days afterward tho samo lady re.
ceived from her nephew, then about to
leave Chicago, the following mental mes
sage while she was Quietly engaged in
household duties, Don't expect me till

His Early Social Life and His First Un-

There was OF course u rough gallantry

backlog and made the brightest fire; then
OF how, "sitting around" IL, watching the

their fortunes. He helped paro apples,
shell corn and crack nuts. He took the
girls TO meeting and TO spelling school, al
though he was not often allowed TO take
part In the spelling match, for tho one
who "chose first" always chose Abe Lin

CANADIAN LEGISLATORS.
What n Stranger Might See From the Gal.
lery of the House of Commons.

1t is a mistake to think that the act
which led to the confederation of the vari.
Gus provinces in 1867 has attained no
higher meaning in the life Of the Cana
dian people than that Of a constitutional
union. IL carries with 1t meaning of far
deeper import--a union o. hearts, whose
offspring is oneness of patriotic aim and
purpose. or course it would be idle 20 say
that the Canadian people are unit upon
all questions of vital interest TO the life
and growth of the Dominion. The geo.
graphical interests of Canada arc 80 varied
that there must necessarily be at times
some friction and clashing Of provincial
needs and ambitions. Is the case az
Washington. This Is the case, too, in sc
small confederation as tho cantons o.
Switzerland.
A stranger visiting the gallery Of the
Canadian house of commons is struck with
the dignity and decorum which mark the
proceedings and surround even the warm
est and keencst of debates. Parliamentary
procedure being rigidly adhered to, there
is little room for unseemly encounters,
which usually grow out of uncalled for
personalities in the heat of discussion.
Sometimes, however, when the house bag

prolixities and inoohercncios of soma
