YAOUlS ON THE WARPATH,
The Mexican Indian Trouble Constantly
Spreading.

Chicago, Aug. IA special to the
Tribune from the City of Mexico says:
Dispatches from Guaymas show that
the Yaqui instruction is constantly
growing in extent, and all the Indians
in the towns along the river are rising
in arms and taking to the woods and
mountains to join their companions al
ready arrayed against the authorities.
Jack Ramsey, the famous frontier
character, and the American photog-
rapher, Z. n. Miller, were on the way
TO Alamos when they were attacked by
the Indians and killed.
1t is reported that the Romero family
were captured as they were about to
embark ON one of the sloops and that
they were killed Troops are pursu-
ing the bands supposed to have the
family. The telegraph line south
from Alamos has been cut. The In.
dams along the Mayo river are quiet
and do not seem to be inclined to join
the instruction.
Colonel Angel Garcia Pena tele.
graphed yesterday that Don Carlos
Hale, the noted merchant, has not been
killed as reported. Official advices up
to Monday, however, state clearly that
after General Torres forces took Ba-
cum. they found ten dead of the troops
from COacorit. and four of the body
guard of the Yaqui chief, Maldonado,
and the body of Hale. They say Moth
ing has been heard of the chief.

SOME DoN'Ts.

Don't eat candy in the theater if \ necessitates rattling paper during the performance. Besides it is bad form to eat in public.
 Don't let your dress drag when walk ing down stairs unless you want to add materially to your collection of mi- erobes-to say nothing of the dust.
 Don't worry because there are half a dozen freckles on your nose. No one will notice them if you don't call at- tention to them. Besides, they have probably been there all winter.
 Don't wait for inspiration to say something graceful when you walk up to congratulate the bride. Impromptu speeches are always more successful when they are prepared beforehand.
 Don't scowl at the conductor if he fails to let you off at the right corner. A sweetly resigned look will draw the sympathy of the passengers and an athletic apology from the pasteboarS coilector-but if you look cross ana ugly. they'll smile and think it a good joke on you.

- GAY FUNERALS IN BRAZIL.
Death Is Not solemn Affair with Rio
 Janeirians.

Death Is Not a solemn Affair with Rio
 Janeirians.
 One of the first things that strike the eye of the stranger in Rio de Janeiro are some odd-looking carriages. You think there must be a circus in town. but on inquiry are told those are hearses." Owing to the climate a corpse cannot be kept over twenty-four hours, nor will the law allow it. and so many have their clothes made and funeral invitations printed before they are ready to die. They do not regard death as seriously in Rio as we do in North America, but lay great stress on the outward show. Even infants are put into mourning for their forty-sec- ond cousin. poor and rich alike. 1 re- ceived an invitation to the funeral of a child of a friend. It was printed on white paper having scarlet border. Scarlet is the color used by the Bra zilians for the funeral decorations Of the young, while violet is for adults. The invitation has not only the names of the parents of the child, but the grandparents, uncles, aunts and cou- sins. I was supposed to bring wreath or other emblem of artificial flowers (real ones are seldom used), and drive to the mourners' house. There Twas met by an usher, who took the wreath and led me into the chamber Of death, where the mourners and priests were praying for the departed soul. Every article of furniture, pictures, knicknacks, etc. had been removed from the room, and the coffin was placed in the center, upon bier draped with scarlet cloth, around which the wreaths, etc, were put. When the prayers had been said the father and brother carried the coffin to the hearse. The hearse was also scarlet and gold, but oh! so shabby, and so were the two men on the seat, who were dressed from head to foot in the same bright eolors, and looked more like organ monkeys than men. A closed cab led the procession, in which sat the priest in all his bright robes; then followed the hearse, after which, in open car- Fiages, the male relatives and friends (no women attend any funerals).- Philadelphia Inquirer.

Ejaculations in Many Languages to Ward

Eiacuiations in Many Languages to Ward
 On Coming Danger.
 In many family, particularly in New England, a sneeze is generally fol- lowed by 8 hearty God bless us" though little thought is ever paid to the meaning of the phrase or why 1t Is used. A curious explanation Of the origin of the phrase is given. It seems that several centuries ago an epidemic like our present influenza became rife all over Europe, the first symptom of which was violent sneezing The pope at that time prescribed prayers against the epidemic and recommended cer- tain short ejaculations, to be made when anyone sneezed in such a way as to show signs of having contracted the malady. Hence all over Europe we have these ejaculations, practically of the same character. Italy: "Dio VI benedica!" in Germany. "Gott segne dich!" (also "Gesundheit!'') in France, 'Dieu vous benisse!" among the Span ish speaking people of New Mexico, Jesus te fayorescal!" in Arizona, "Je- sus to oyude!" The English, God bless you" or God bless us" corre- spends to the Gaelic, 'Dia linn," God with us!" Sometimes the response. "Agus 1Luire!" and Mary" is added, and in violent attacks, "agus Eoin Baiste, "and John Baptist" In New Mexico they say to children sneezing: "Dios te haga crecer," God make thee grow?' An equivalent expression IS used in Gaelic as thank phrase, and l have heard people say in Ireland to a child sneezing. God bless you, child, you're no fairy?' 8 semi-serious allu- sion to the possibility of children be- ing changed by fairies, as the old leg end had it.-Donahoe's Magazine.

A "oIG."
Obsolete in Its Meaning of Eighty
 Girl

Obsolete in Its Meaning of Eighty
 "Gig" has one or two obsolete and rare meanings of interest, says the Academy. It is obsolete in it's mean ing of a fiighty girl though writer so comparatively modern as Mme
 D'Arblay wrote in her diary: Char lotte L. called, and the little gig told all the quarrels" In the sense of an odddty or fool the word probably survives locally. Whyte-M Melville makes someone say in Kate Coven- try" Such set of gigs my dear, I never saw in my life. Not 8 goon-looking man among them" Yet note that the word is put into quota 4aon marks. "In high gig meant in high spirits. "Gig" had the third meaning of fun. glee. Sir Walter Besant locates the phrase in the thir- ties Of this century in his Fifty Years Ago; "A laughter-loving lass of 18. who dearly loved bit of gig" No connection with "giggle" is suggested
 By the way, see that Mir. Leslie Stephen has had the temerity to write of the house of commons "giggling over some delicious story of bribery and corruption. Although "gig," a fiighty girl, is obsolete, "gigglet. ]" meaning the same thing, is apparently not so. 4 writer in Chambers Jour nal uses it with effect in the sentence: Why should female clerks in the post al service consist of pert giglets hard ly out of their teens?'' .Giglet fairs" tfor hiring female farm servants) are still held in the west of England.

Neither fact can be explained, but every horseman knows that a regimen of carrots will make his stud smooth and lustrous as velvet, and the Chinese, especially the women, know that rats used as food will stop the falling out of hair and make the locks soft, silky and beauti- ful. have seen 1t tried many times"

WHITE HOUSE CHINA.
A New Set Made and Marked for Each
 Administration.

A New Set Made and Marked for Each
 Administration.
 The white house china is manufac- t4red and decorated especially for the presidents house, says the New York Mail and Express. When a new ad- ministTation comes in, new set of china is made and marked with the name of the president. Of course the old china is kept, the new being only Of sufficient quantity to make up for the breakage and loss during the last administration. The decoration of the china consists of a dark blue border, with gold tracings in shape of corn stalks and ears, while in the center of the white plate is the coat-of-arms of the United States in colors. The best of artists are employed to paint these plates, and, as each one is marked with the name of the administration, each has value. It is often quite an in- teresting part of a white house dinner for the guests while waiting for the courses to turn their plates to see to what administration they belonged. The china of the white house is in the special charge of the steward. and he is responsible to the government for it. It is rare that any of it gets out of the white house, and therefore the appear ance of the two plates in the auction room last week caused comment. The price paid for them ($4 apiece) was certainly remarkably low, in view of their value to collectors.

Locking Up Quaint and Ancient

 The main guardhouse at the Tower, which has just been pulled down, was hard by the Bloody Tower. It is at that the quaint and ancient ceremony Of locking up the tower is nightly per formed, as it has been for centuries. A few minutes before Il o'clock the head warder, or yeoman porter, as he is properly styled, clothed in a red cloak. carrying portentous bunch of keys, and accompanied by another warder carrying lantern. appears In front of the main guardhouse and roars out. Escort, keys!" The sergeant turns out with some of the men, and follows the yeoman to the outer gate, the whole party being challenged by all the sen tries with Who goes there?" and the answer is simply Keys" The gates being locked the keys are brought back to the main guard. Here the sentry stamps and roars out, Who goes there?''
 "Keys," is the reply.
 Whose keys?"
 Queen Vtctoria's keys"
 Advance, Queen Victoria's keys. And all's well.
 God bless Queen victoria!" cries the yeoman porter.
 Amen" responds the main guard
 Present arms!'' cries the officer on duty, and amid the rattle of the salute he kisses the hilt of his sword. The yeoman porter marches off with the keys and deposits them in the lieuten- ants lodgings, and from that time throughout the livelong night you can only circulate within the tower pre- cinets if you know the countersign.
