Owing, perhaps, to the fact that it
had been postponed once, and the
further fact that natures elements
were angry among themselves at the
time it was given, the Box Social at
the opera house Monday night was not
a success in the fullest measure,
although there were soma pleasing and
mcritorious features. An admission
fee of 10 cents was levied, which was
wrong, and the parties having this
part of the entertainment under their
supervision, knowing as they doubtless
did that many were unable to perform
their parts owing 10 severe colds,
should not have allowed admission fees
to be collected, as the program was
extremely short, consisting OF two
instrumental duets and two numbers
by the orchestra. by no meals the
least redeeming features were the
boxes, they being filed with the most
paI,table edlbles. The gentlemen Of
the church prepared liquid refresh
ments. Gentlemen, we never take

No Soap, If You Please.

It may be doubted If bath-tub in
Jamaica is a luxury. The lighthouses
make brave show in row of low
brick buildings in the rear of the hotels,
each little house with 4 big st-ro tank
for a bath-tub. A New York Sun ,cr-
respondent says OF them.
went out to see the baths on my
first day in Kingston, and was sur
prised to see il sign nailed against the
wall bearing these words:
Gentlemen are requested not to use
soap in the baths"
''Why are gentlemen requested not to
use soap in the baths?" L asked the
hotel clerk, dignified young woman
of dark complexion.
Because it soils the water and makes
it unpleasant for the next bather," she
said.
But do your guests all battle in the
same water?' asked.
"Oh, yes she replied. "You see the
tanks are so large and the pipes are
small. 1t takes all night to fill the
tanks, and the water has to last all
day."

Half-Breed Indians.

TIE researches of the United States
department. of ethnology have shed a
new light on the process Of racial ANAL
gamation which is going on in this and
other lands. 1t appears that. contrary
to the usual statement and the popular
belief, the fertility Of the half-breed
Indian is not less than that of the pure
red and white races, but even more,
and hence there is no likelihood Of the
Indian race dying out. Another singu-
lar fact, which is often observed in the
crossing Of strains Of inferior animals,
is that the half-breeds are Of taller
stature than the pure Indians or the
white French race from which they
have chiefly sprung. Stature is not in
herited in such manner that the size
Of the hybrid or offspring is intermedi-
ate between the sizes of the parent
stocks There is a greater diversity
of size in the mixed race than in the
pure races; and it is further remarkable
TINT the face of the blood tends
tt reproduce that Of one or other of
tue parent stock rather than an inter-
mediate type Moreover, the Indian
type has stronger influence on the off
spring than the white, and half-bloods
s.tal5e after the red man most Of all.
Strange to say, Indian children are, as
a rule, taller than half-bred children,
who come to maturity more slowly It
is noted that in so far as intermediate
types of faces are produced, which hap
pens comparatively seldom, they are Of
a uniform character.

C1inging to Old Methods.

The poems of Mexico are queer set.
Their ignorance and stupidity is equal
ed, perhaps, by no other race Of peo-
pie in the world. They are too stupid
even to he instructed. I was down in
the mining regions of Mexico for some
time and had a good chance to observe
their habits. They still persist in car
rying the ore from the mines in bags
on their backs. knew case where q
contractor secured number of wheel
barrows, thinking to help their labors.
They accepted barrows all right, but
they would not use them as they were
Intended to be used. Instead of wheel
ing them they would fill them up and
carry the barrows with their conteAts
on their backs, as they had done with
the bags Another amusing case Of
