The Southern herald., 1899-09-15

The Indians of Mexico know nothing
of the laws of contagion. They display
an apathy toward certain loathsome
diseases which surprises foreigner.
In recent hunting trip in the Sierra
Of Pueblo our party of eight was de-
scending toward Zacapoaxtla. We rode
leisurely, for the trail was narrow and
hemmed in by Indian huts. At the
door of one of these stood a woman and
n little girl. We stopped to inquire the
way, when the following conversation
took place:
Good morning, sonora"
"a very good morning, at your orders,
senor."
"This is the road to Zacapoaxtla, is IL
not9"
"You are quite right, senor."
"And is it very far?"
"0n the contrary. it is a very little
ways"
IA thousand thanks for your kind
ness, sonora"
There is nothing for which TO offer
them, senor."
"ls the little girl sick, senora?"
"She is a little sick. senor."
"What is the matter with herP"
"She has the smallpox, senor."
"Ah, good day. sonora. Forest and

WHERE MOTHERS FAIL.
They Sometimes Fall short of the
Ideal Mother Because They
Lack Quiet Dignity.

Too many mothers do not realize that
there are any problems in their rela-
tionship with their grown daughters.
The training of little children is dis
cussed as an all-important topic. Why
should not the delicate questions
which must arise in every household
where two or more women Of strong
personality live in constant and close
contact receive just as careful consid-
GRAFTON? 1t is after the school days
that the troubles begin. The mother
who has clung TO her little girl fails to
recognize the needs of the growing
woman, and is hurt by any independent
action on the part of the daughter;
while the daughter, in her eagerness
to grasp at the best in the new life,
forgets the Difference which is due to
the mother. Out of these conditions
small clashings ensue, to end too often
in complete dscord. 1t is just at this
time that the mother must bring all her
love and diplomacy TO bear. She must
endeavor to know her daughters ma
ture, and to understand its possibilities
and limitations. She will find that her
problems are not the problems of her
mother nor of her grandmother, for
the girl of to-day is not like the girl of
yesterday, and she must be studied
from different standpoint. The most
unpleasant of all things American is
the dominant daughter. Brilliant, rest
less and discontented, she demands all
things as her right rather than as a
privilege. The time honored tale of
the mother at the wash tub and the
daughter at the piano is verified in the
mental attitude Of many households.
There are two things that the mother
of such daughter should cultivate
quiet dignity which shall force the
girls respect, and sympathy which
shall win her heart. She must be in
terested in that which interests the
younger mind. And she must not be
dominated. Her self-assertion need not
and should not be radical. but she must
be queen Of her own household, yield
ing her scepter TO none, and especially
not TO her inexperienced daughter.

DON'T FEAR LIONS
A Circus Man Says They Are Not
Nearly So Fierce as the Most
OF People Think.

John B. Doris, who owned a circus for
30 years, once said that there is no
animal so easily handled and so safe for
performer as a lion. Besides being
intelligent they are about as easy tenn
pered as an oyergrown dog and once
broken in anyone with whom they are
familiar can put them through their
tricks.
People are generally awed by the
appearance of the lion and his dreadful
roar, but in reality there is no occasion
for fear. In fact, the lion roars when be
feels in particularly happy mood, and
he can no more restrain himself than
dog can keep from barking. The
sound is perhaps not pleasant and the
sight of the great open jaws ''scary,"
but then he really means nothing. ltis
only his little way.
Mr.. Doris was once making ready for
the road in the exposition building at
indianapolis. There were some 800
men at work in the building when,
through the carelessness Of an attend
ant, two of the lions slipped out of their
cage and made straight for a couple Of
barrels of fat saved from the animals
food. In less than Is minutes the 300
men had disappeared through doors
and windows, but the attendant cooly
seized first one lion and then the other
by the scuff Of the neck and in turn
fairly booted them to their cage.
In regard to the thrilling effect Of a
tanner in lions den there is always a
deal of humbug. While the half terri
fed public looks on both man and beast
are performing part that has been
well rehearsed beforehand, and the
animals know just what TO do. Separ-
ately and together they are put through
the tricks Of leaping over poles and
through hoops of flame. With appar-
emily reckless regard for life, but know
ing we'll what he is about, the keeper
thrusts his head between the lions
jaws. When he discharges a pistol
several times the animals scamper
round in apparent paroxysms Of rage
and fear and then finally he dashes out
all very clever little stage eperform-
ance.
If any proof we're needed to prove
that the lion is not to be feared one has
but to watch an ordinary attendant
enter the cage to clean it. He sweeps
the dirt right and left without the least
attention to his majesty, who, unless
he keeps out of the way, is as likely as
not to get broomful of dust in his face.
The only animals that are really
feared by the keepers Of a menagerie
are the elephant and the leopard, the
former from his uncertain temper and
the latter because of his perpetually
treaeherous nature.-Cincinnati En-
/ Quirer.
