CHILDREN IN MEXICO.
Training Them for Running and Div
ing Is Now Inhibited.

Training Them for Running and Div
ing Is Now Prohibited.
\ writer in the Pail Mall Budget
describes the work and play of Mexican
children, who are apparently quite as
active in spite of the tropical climate,
as our own little ones. They are
all artists of one sort or another.
They love music. and more than that.
are born with clever fingers. especially
adapted to the sculptor's work. They
are indeed marvellous modelers. The
wee brown fingers of Mexican babies
mold the ruddy Mexican mud into
babies darker than themselves, and
very little children pinch and pat and
poke moist clay or wax into statuettes.
to be sold in the market-places.
Here in the public bazaars the poor
er children spend a great deal of their
time. They peddle the little clay and
wax figures which their tiny hands
have made, they hawk flowers and bar
ter magnificent fruits for copper coins:
and they rush after you, catch you by
the skirt. and lure you back to their
parents booths. AS rule, they know
one English sentence. Give me
penny
In their devotion to music they seem
to emulate the birds themselves. This
is the unique morning custom. whereby
they pay back the little feathered
warblers. song for song.
When day first breaks in at the
window of Mexican home, the head
of the house gallantly welcomes it by
leaping out of bed. If he Is very old
or feeble, he at least manages TO lift
himself from his pillow. and then he
begins to sing a song of praise. If
Il priest happens to be staying in the
house. then it is he who starts the
vocal symphony. But whoever begins
it. all the household catches it up. the
wife. the grown children. the half
grown children, the toddling babies |
and even the servant, join this simple |
melody of praise. Out beyond the
cabins, the abode hut or the richly !
carved palace, the hewers of wood. the /
drawers of water. tenders of grain or |
of flowers. join in the morning chorus.
But sweetest Of all those sweet Mexican |
notes. rings the treble pipe of the
Mexican baby voice.
Mexican children used TO be trained |
to two industries in which they no
longer engage. These were running.
and diving for coins: but both these
daring and remunerative sports are
now prohibited by law. Not long ago
a goodly number of boys were trained
20 run almost as soon as they could
.oddle alone. They inherited supple
hips, strong thighs. tireless legs and
limble feet from their remote and their
nearest ancestry. When they grew to
reaching also professional
perfection. they Joined corps which
ormed the only reliable messenger
service of Mexico. These men often
an $50 miles in four and half days.
They made round trips of 200 miles in
line days, for which they We're paid by
or thirty silver Mexican
lOllars. But the old Mexican runners
ire dead. killed by their mad over
work. and the authorities are wise

COMMISSIONERS OF DEEDS.
GOV. stone VacaIes All Commissions
Prior to Jan. l. 1855.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, March %
Gov. Stone to-day issued the follow
ing proclamation:
by virtue of authority conferred
on me by law, l do hereby vacate from
and after the 1st day of July next all
commissions issued to persons residing
in any, of the States or Territories of
the United States or foreign countries
as commissioners of deeds for the
State of Missouri, prior to the first
day of January. A. D. eighteen hun
dred and eighty-ive.
This step is necessary for the reason
that commissions issued thirty years
ago are still in force, although it is
probable that two-thirds of the per-
sons to whom they were issued are
either dead or removed from the State
in which they resided at the time they
were commissioned. No instrument
acknowledged after July l, 1895, by a
commissioner of deeds who was com
missioned prior to Jan. L, 1885, will be
valid in law, hence the Importance of
the proclamation being widely known.

\ Wisconsin legislator has boldly
taken the bull by the horns by intro

dispute arising between railroads and
their employees either party to the con-

interests are injuriously affected by

Court, and that tribunal can cite the
parties to appear and settle the con-
troversy, or if either party objects to
action by the court the court may refer
the matter to a board of arbitrators.

The Editors YvoodpiIc.

We were engaged the other day in
piling wood in the cellar. and our
thoughts ran in the direction of the
amount OF labor expended in cutting,
preparing, hauling and getting the
wood to the stove or fireplace. First.
the trees are felled in the forest. then
the trunk and limbs are cut into 4-foot
lengths and split and piled: then haul
ed out to the roadside or slid down
the mountain: then hauled off to
market; then delivered At the houses of
customers: then thrown into the cellar
or woodshed; then sawed: then split:
then piled; then carried into the house
and placed in the woodboX: then burn
ed. Eleven times at least the wood is
handled and rehandled, about half of
which labor falls upon the seller. and
the other half upon the consumer. 1t
is about the same with coal. The
original article is of less value than
the labor required to get it into practi-
cal use by the consumer. And so it is
largely with almost everything that
goes into general consumption. Labor
is the great element of cost in human

History of the barometer.

In the "Neteorologishe Zeitschrift'
for December last, Prof. G. Hellmann
gives very interesting account of the
invention of the barometer, which has
now been in use 30 years. Torricelh,
who died at the early age of 80 years,
was too busily engaged in mathemati-
cal studies to publish an account of
his discovery. but on June II, 1911. he
wrote description of it to his friend
Ricci. This letter. and Ricci's OBJ
jectiOns to the experiment. were pub
lished in 1863 by c. Dat. friend of
TOrricelli, and, as this work is now
exceedingly scarce, Prof. Hellmann
has reprinted the correspondence. in
the original Italian, in the above-men-
toned journal. Some of the para
graphs, says Nature" are note
worthy. especially those in which
TorriceHi states that it was not merely
a question of producing a vacuum.
but of making an initrument which
would indicate the changes of the
atmosphere. The first continuous
barometrical observations appear to
have been made in France. In Eng
land they were first taken by Robert
Boyle, about the year 1860, to whom
we owe the invention of the word

1t Was Not Our Fight.

The DEMOCRAT fired a shot or two
at some of the temperance cranks at
Jackson just before the city election,
but the fight was not ours. We did
not try very hard to influence votes
one way or the other. The extension
of the city limits will not hurt us. 1t
carried by big vote andnowthe boys
will get their bottles filed down here.
We will get some benefits from the
extension and we are satisfied.
