In the Mexican Househ old

The arrangement Of furniture Is
much more formal than in the United
States. 1t is q very common sight to
see splendidly furnished parlor with
a row of straight backed chairs all
alike with their backs against the wall
and as close together as they can he
placed clear around the room.
Heavy single doors. such as are
used in the United States, are practi-
cally unknown In Mexican houses
either at entrances or between In.
terror rooms. All doors open in the
middle and are fastened with bolts
top and bottom. Exterior doors are
always fitted with glass panels, for
they also serve as windows. All such
doors opening on the street OF open
court are fitted with solid shutters
that are folded at the sides out of
si~ht when not In use.
A good Mexican cook, relieves the
mistress of the house Of worry and
responsibility in q manner that Is al
most unknown in the United States.
The cook is given so much day, and
with this amount she will purchase
each morning all the provisions for
the day. including even the staples
that are usually bought in large Quan.
titles in other countries. On dollar
day cook will provide a very good
table for a family of three or four
and get enough beans and tortillas
and chile to set the servants table be-
sides. They can really do better than
their mistresses. because they can us
ually drive sharper bargains with the
marketmen of their own class, and
they have more patience to haggle
over the last penny.

of his experience with John Sherman.

mans room and he produced from his
valise four-ounce vial of whiskey and
a teaspoon. Pouring out teaspOonful
he handed it over to me to take it, as
he had no doubt | needed 1t. After
had INDUCED in one spoonful Sherman
took spoonful himself, recorked the

Train stopped by Insects.

peculiar incident occurred short
time ago to Scotch express, which
really caps the story of the mouse
which got into the brake apparatus OF
a train and soon brought 1t to COM
plete standstill.
While on a steep incline mile or so
from Invershin, the train suddenly
slowed UP and eventually stopped. At
ter an examination 1t transpired that
myriads of midges had been swarming
near the ground, and being crushed by
the wheels Of the train, had left the
rails in a very Shiny condition, pre-
venting the engine from gripping the
rails. and so stopping it. Although
several lodges were tried. among them
that OF throwing earth along the line,
the train was unable to proceed until
it was divided into sections and drawn
UP the incline piecemeal This Incl
dent caused delay of nearly an hour.
