A TeII-TaIe Mirror.

Recently the governor OF one OF our
county prisons was greatly perplexed
by the discovery that the female Grim
inals in his charge managed In some
mysterious manner TO ascertain the
presence Of every individual man on
the other side of the impervious dlvld-
ing barrier which separates the male
from the female worshiperH In the jail
chapel. One Of the women inadvertent-
~ made an exclamation showing that
she had suddenly become aware that
her husband was within the same walls.
although his presence ought, according
20 the rule, 10 have been completely
unknown 10 her. None OF the officers
could account for an unpermitted
knowledge, which was found to be
shared by all other women. AZ last u
very careful examination Of the chapel
gave an explanation Of the mystery.
Although strictly divided, MS we have
said, both the male and the female
prisoners faced the altar In their seats.
and over Il had been fixed a very large
brass cross against the wall, NO highly
polished ms TO form very good mirror,
and in It's clear surface the women saw
the reflection OF every man as he passed
90 his place, and had enjoyed the spec
tncle with impunity until the wlfs's

Tradition Tells About.
Somewhere hidden in the heart OF
that land Of marvels, Mexico, there Is
without doubt a nation Of pygmies.
Few they are, but fierce; short OF stat
ure, but long of life. Science, which In
this latter day goes out into highways
and hedges and compels all sorts of cu-
riosities to come In, has not been able
yet to put it's positive finger on these
people. But the Aztec traditions, old
before the beginning of history, have
said they existed. There is echo of
the story in the early histories Of that
land full OF wonders. Prescott only
told Of small part of the strange
things to be found in Mexico.

clew TO almost the precise location OF

say that they do not exist, but merely
that did not find them. They may
still be hidden somewhere among those
mountains, where some day lucky man
will find them and bring them 10 light.
At any rate, have come back to the

The catfish Ia very much like the owl
in its habits. II Is only on rare occs-
sions that the anglers bait Is tempting
enough TO lure the wary cat from its
haunts In daylight. The catfish abounds
In nearly all the inland streams Of this
country. Scattered along the banks OF
the Allegheny and Ohio rivers, near
Pittsburgh, can be seen almost every
summer night scores Of bonhres built
TO attract the fish. A modern scientifS
device has been invented that will en-
tirely revolutionize this sport. II Is a
