TetxtcingO Indians.
go Record

Tetxtcingo is the euphonious name
of a village of 1000 inhabitants in the
district of Morelos. State of Morelos,
which has preserved the customs and
the language of its founders who set
tied there in the remote past, says the
Mexican Herald. The inhabitants are
all Indians of the purest Mexican or
Aztec blood; they scorn the idea OF
intermixture or rintermarriage with any
other race. Their boast is that they
are pure Mexicans. They all speak
the native language; few under
stand Spanish, but the great majority
do not know one word of it.
The men wear their hair long and
plated in tail like the Cinnamon.
They wear short "pants" like those
used by bathers, made OF deer skin or
of cotton woven by their women.
The shirt or body dress is made OF
cOttOn clOtu, hi5o "oNoh "o nono'
The women dress entirely in homespun
material and never comb their hair.
which they wear rolled up in ball on
the top of the head, and over it they
put jicara made from q common
gourd. They live upon corn and
fruits and the flesh of animals and
birds trapped in the forests and hills.
They consume nothing whatever that
is imported, and they support them
selves entirely by their native pro-
ductions. Governor Alarcon OF the
State of Morelos told Herald repre-
sentative that robberies are totally un-
known in the village.

Growing Moment of q Ships Career.

A successful launch OF large ves-
sci has been called the crowning mo-
ment of q ship builders career. Some
one has said also that launch is the
most delicate part of the ship builders
work. 1t is very difficult to say what
is the most delicate part of ship build.
ing, for the simple reason that there
doesn't seem to be any part of it that
isn't delicate. No more complex ma
chinery is made than the wonderful
marine engine no more carefully de-
signed structure exists than the sail Of
of a modern steamship. A launch is
as much a matter of mathematics as
any part of the work of building q
ship, and perhaps it is because launches
are always inspiring that they have
been called the crowning occasions of
ship building.
1t is only since the United States
began to build new navy that we
have had launches of large vessels in
this country. We have built so many
fire warships that it was not unusually
difficult for lis to build merchant ves-
sells of the first grade, and we have
just finished two ships next in size to
the two largest ships that are afoat
in the world.
Building these ships was great
achievement, however, and hence the
ceremony of putting them into the
water from dry land attracted great
attention throughout the country, and
was attended in each case by thou.
sands of spectators.
They saw the picturesque side OF
each of these events. They saw the
foam as the christening bottle of wine
was broken upon the bow. They
heard the cheers and shouts and helped
to make them. They waved their hats
and handkerchiefs as the ship began
to glide down into the water, and
each man almost held his breath until
he saw her safe in the stream ac-
knowledging the plaudits o the null
titude by making graceful bow.

INEXPENSIVE PILLOWS.

If you live in locality where cat.
tails grow abundantly. you may have
all the pillows you want at small ex.
pense. Gather cat tails when ripe,
pick carefully to pieces and put in a
case of heavy muslin or ticking. This
makes pillow as soft as down and
much more durable.
Paper torn into tiny pieces, as
small as can be pinched off with the
thumb and foreinger, makes very
good pillow. This is excellent rainy
day work for the children and will
often keep them happy and amused
for quite a long time. Newspaper
should not be used, as the odor of tho
ink soon becomes dlsagreeable, but
any other clean white or MANILA pap
er will do nicely, the softer, of course,
the better. American Farmer.

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

Conscience is question of culture
Intelligence without character is
candle stick in the mud.
The man who can endure everything
is either saint or cur.
Those who know little and can do
less are the severest critics
Little men with one idea are often
worse than those with none.
One man is all egg and no cackle;
another is all cackle and no egg.
Loves selfshness is one of those
contradictions that we cannot ade-
quately explain.
Some of us look SO far ahead for
happiness that we can not see it walk
ing by our side.
Tie lives of the lowly are little
tragedies so commonplace that we do
not notice them.
Women have never grown altruistic
enough to find the praise of other
women interesting.
Doubt and distrust are two grave
diggers that have helped to bury love,
since the world began.
Manners should be varnish, not
veneer. They should bring out, not
conceal, the true grain of the wood.
Men of intellect who do not cult
vate their powers are like those who,
possessing large houses, prefer to live
in the kitchen.
1t is better to die in the pitfalls OF
untrodden fields than to follow blindly
in the footsteps of those who have
come before us.
Certain writer's seem to think that
they are cutting blocks from natures
quarry, while all the time they are
only trying to squeeze mud into
marble.
If our happiness were thrust sud-
denly upon us we would be amazed
ct its magnitude. When the novelty
wears off we forget what we have to
be thankful for.
Some people seem to reckon their
rate of progress by the noise they
make and the dust they raise. We do

Japanese Law Courts,


an air OF great solemnity. The judges,
and in the higher courts there are al
ways three, wear gowns of black en-
broidered with white braid in peculiar
geometric patterns around the collar
and down the front and back. Each
grade of the judiciary has its distin-
gushing pattern, and the more braid
you see on judges gown the higher
his rank. They also wear a cap OF
black silk of pattern that looks like
liberty cap.
The lawyers wear similar caps and
gowns, but with different design in
the ornamentation. Their caps re-
semble those of the Knights of Russia
and have ribbons falling down behind.
The embroidery indicates the rank or
classification of practitioners, who are
divided according to the French sys-
tenn, into solicitors, barristers, notar-
les, etc.
When addressing the court the law
yers stand before small tables with
pens and ink upon them and papers
and books which they need for refer
ence and bring into court in small
sachels. instead of green bags as the
English use. In the higher courts
they present briefs and arguments in
writing which they are allowed to
read, and the judges occasionally ask
questions and the attorneys are al
lowed to make oral explanations, but
they are expected to reduce their ex-
plantations to writing afterward if they
have any important bearing on the
point at issue.
The clerk of the court sits at the
right of the bench and behind him
there is always young officer in uni
form, who is supposed to represent
the emperor. A few rude benches
furnish accommodations for clients
and spectators, but the law courts do
not attract crowd.
There is bar association in Japan,
but so far no scale of fees have been
fixed and charges for legal services are
very much lower than in the United
States and Europe. Many lawyers do
not make more than fifty cents a day,
the usual earnings of jinrikisha man,
and a few of them have incomes ex-
ceeding 5000 or $500 year.
There are however exceptions, as in
the case of Mr.. Masujima, who has an
extensive practice among foreigners
and corporations, employs a large
staff of assistants and has an income
equal to that OF many of the foremost
lawyers in the United States. There
are several law journals, but no official
reports, but Mr.. Masujima publishes
a digest of the decisions of the higher
courts as private enterprise. .-Chica-
