The population of the City of Mexico

t,vo-thirds live literally in the streets.
The high altitude. the mildness and
Irynsss of the atmosphere, even in the
depth Of winter, and the almost con-
stantly clear blue sky combine 10 make
out-of-door life as attractive as may be
found. perhaps. anywhere in the world.
There is an eNhilarating lightness and
uplifting buoysncy in the air that gives
people dislike for confinement in the
close. heavy houses of Mexico.
Muititudes of persons of wealth eat,
sleep, work. visit, and idle away their
sim~ through the whole year in their
gardens or on the very broad porches
that extend all about the universal
patio of their low, rambling houses
Thousands OF the poorer classes here

slept wherever drowsiness may over

Bolivian Indiana

The Chiriguano, who comes down
from Bolivia TO earn mares and clothes
and go home rich, is an advanced type
of Indian. All the year round bands
Of these men are coming and going
to and from the north across some 500
miles of country. They have a melodi-
Gus language, are Clearly, and are some
of them Christians. A curious feature
about them is that they all wear but
tons on their chins; their hair, long and
black, is bound in masses round their
heads. They come in hapds of six to
co, under captain-usually the deputy
of some big chief up above. There are
two or three big Chiriguano chiefs in
the Bolivia Chaco who have supreme
power over as many as 5000 or 1000
men. They hold their own courts of
Justice in their own towns, wage wars
with their neighbors or the Bolivian
government, and counteract the infu-
cnce of the Jesuit mission among them
On the whole, the Chiriguano is de-
sirable laborer, is cheerful and good
humored, clean and thrifty. A little
drink, however, arouses the Indian in
'stinct here, too, and fearful fights with
knives occur when there is liquor

WONDERS WITH A WHIP.
Cow . yieAnese Has Made 1t an Ins0Ss
ment of Death.

A decided sensation has been created
n Vienna by a man who probably stands
alone in the world in his particular
line of performance. This gentleman's
name is Piskslug, and he is an Austro-
Hungarian by birth. He is an expert,
Dr rather a phenomenal artist, in the
use of the CAD whip.
The first thing he does is to take
long-lashed, stout-handied whip in each
hand, and with orchestral accompani-
ment, proceed to crack or snap them at
q terrific rate. The sound made by his
whips in this manner is graduated from
q noise like rife report TO the soft
click of billiard ball. 1t makes curl
ous sort of music, and serves TO show
how he can regulate the force of each
stroke. More interest, however, Is
evinced when he seizes vicious-look-
ing CAD whip with an abnornslly long
lash 1t ia provided with very heavy
handle of medium length ending IN a
crook. This is his favorite. and what he
can do with il is really wonderful. He
first gives an idea of what fearful force
there lies in a whip lash IN the hands OF
IN expert. A large frame, over which
is stretched calf or sheep skin, il

Loye-4rass and Love-in-a-Puff.

L wish all children could know the
Joy Of pulling love-grass." have seen
lawns and pleasure grounds dotted
with merry children pulling love-grass
amid peals Of laughter for hours. I
have never seen ''love-grass at the north.
1t has a glossy green stem crowned
with brown or green aigrettes. Two
children select the grass stem, split one
TO the ends, and each holds an end.
Then they PROFOUND any question they
wish to solve, and as they pull the stem
apart gently, it forms either an N or Y,
meaning no or yes.
''Love-in-a-puff" is another fortune
teller; it gets its name from the fact
that the tender little green puff holds
three round seeds, each stamped with
perfect little heart. AS in popping
rose-petals, the answer depends on tho
report of the ''love-in-a-puff." If it be
sharp and loud, the answer is decided
ly yes" if it collapses noiselessly, that
is bad sign, meaning bad luck or no
as the question is put The dsndelion
is another delight. If you can blow way
all the little seeds at one breath, you
can find the bags Of gold at the end of
the rainbow.-Louise Willis Snead, in

the long, hot summer season is over.
elegant equipages may be seen dashing
through the park, not few of the liv-
cried drivers holding the ribbons over
sleek buckskin mules-for here the
mule is not relegated to the plebs, but
holds its own with equine aristocracy.
And certainly his satiny skin, his dain-
lty ebonized hoofs and neatly shorn tail
ending in a jaunty tassel, and his ag-
gressive ears, subdued with fancy nets
l(assuming a look of conservative meek
ness), merit the distinction and show
how one may feed mule, as well as
feed man INTO q higher state of ex-
istence."
While the latest Partisan styles pre-
vail among the Mexican ladies, the
black lace mantilla still anticipates
millinery CONNECTIONS. Conscious, no
doubt, Of the charm that lies in the
black lace mantilla SO bewitchingly dis
posed over her iniky braids, softening
the outline of the face and lending a
pcnsive dignity to the carriage, the
senorita clings to it. A Spanish woman
in q new-fangled hat or bonnet loses
half her interest, and she is wise
enough to know it.-N Y. Post.

gushing piece of business to most peo-

The man with the whip stands quite q

OSTRICH FARM IN SAHARA.

gested by . French Writer.

s New Source of Supply OF PIumes sag.
gested by . French Writer.
A writer in La Revue Scientifque
suggests that the French Sahara, upon
the southern edge Of Algeria, may be
! proftably used for the breeding OF
ostriches- The Barbary ostrich was
once greatly priced for its plumage.
srd the ostrich feather houses of Paris
made their reputation by the curling
I of these piumes The wild Barbary
ostrich is nearly extinct, so that there
! are no more p,rnes of the sort to be
had, and the Partisan houses have
| lost their monopoly of ostrich
feather curling. Indeed. a large part
of the business has been transferred to
other countries, notably the United
States. II is estimated that the world
uses annually about twenty million
! dollars worth of ostrich plumes, and
the writer in La Revue Scientifque
says that in view of the early adoption
of European dress in the east, especial
ly in china and Japan, the demand for
this sort of personal adornment is
likely to increase He urges, too, that
the increased use of ostrich feathers
throughout the civilized world is like
ly to protect other birds of fine plu-
mage from destruction, and he calls
upon the various societies interested in
the protection of such birds to aid in
making ostrich plumes more fashion
able than ever.
1t is believed that there are now in
south Africa at least three hundred
and fifty thousand ostriches domesti-
Gated and bred for their plumage, and
the writer says that there is no reason
why northern Africa should not be-
come quite as important a region in
this industry. The Sahara, it is ex-
planned, is by no means the exclusive
ly arid and sandy waste that the pop
ular imagination makes it The o.
trich can not exist in the absolutely
dry portions of the Sahara, but there
are large areas which are not, proper
ly speaking, Gases, but they do pro-
duee considerable vegetation. 1t is
upon these areas that the French peo-
pie are urged to undertake ostrich
farming. There have been two or
three unsuccessful experiments to
this end in Algeria, upon the
edge of the desert, but they have
failed for reasons that would
not necessitate failure in other parts
of the desert 1t is true, the writer
admits, that the Sahara can proba bly,
never maintain large European pop
ulation, but he notes that it is the
oases, and not the less fertile parts of
the desert, that are particularly un-
wholesome for Europeans He believes
there is large field for immigration
In parts of the French Sahara that are
suita Die for ostrich farming, and urges
that the war department should aid in
establishing the industry, that the ma
tives could be directed by French i'm
migrants, and Paris could recover
something like her monopoly of the
ostrich-curling business He points out
that thirty thousand Frenchmen emil
CRATE to America every year, and thinks
that some of these might proftably be
induced to settle in northern Africa -
