There are some queer features about
the census use of the word family"
1t means practically those who eat at
the same table. A hotel is a family.
The Memorial Hall Dining association
at Cambridge is a family; so is the
Danvers Lunatic asylum. A stray man
who keeps bachelors hall is a family.
The necessity for this use of the term
came with the question of enumerat-
ing domestic servants. 1t was found
absolutely impossible to attach them
to their own families, scattered as they
are. They had to go with the family
they were living with. This led to a
continuation of the principle, with the
result mentioned. AS it works out, the
census family differs from the actual
family in size only by small fraction
of one person.-New York Post.

A servant without SALARY

A writer in The Dumb Animals tells
us that one of Uncle Sans most faith
full servants in the state of Maine, but
one that draws no salary, lives at Port
land Head lighthouse. 1t is a large
gray parrot, brought from Africa some
time ago and presented to the keeper
Of the light.
The bird soon noticed that when the
fog began to blow in from the ocean
somebody would cry out: Fog coming.
Blow the hornv'
One day the fog suddenly began to
come In thick, and the men did not no
tice it. But Poll did and croaked out:
Fog coming. Blow the hornr Ever
since then, whenever fog is percepti-
BILE, Poll never fails to give warning.

AN ODD TOWN IN MEXICO.
A Place Where the Fashions Are the
Same as Centuries Ago.

Same as Centuries Ago.
Mexico is becoming Americanized
and modernized in deplorable de-
gree, but in the interior there are still
towns and villages not touched by the
hand of Improvement"
Tehuantepec Is one of the oldest OF
Mexican cities, and it is SO far away
from the beaten track Of the tourist
and trader that the olden customs and
costumes remain nearly as they were
two or three centuries ago.
The two women wear q bodice OF
"camisa" of white linen, with insertion
around the neck and sleeves of the
beautiful Mexican drawn work, which
is bordered by embroidery Of red and
green. The skirt is generally bright
green, closely plated and with deep
border of brilliantly eolored cloth OF
white drawn work. A broad red sash
''rebosa," is knotted around the waist
and falls nearly to the edge of the
skirt. The costume Is completed by
bright green slippers. Stockings are
unknown.
The headdress is remarkable. It is
called "huipil," and is made of a broad
stifay starched lace fiounce, very full
on a narrow yoke. The hounce ex-
tends around the neck, as well as the
lower edge of the yoke, and is drawn
over the head and around the shout
ders, framing the face in quantity de.
mure fashion.
The women are fond of jewelry, and
especially of long necklaces made OF
gold coins. They have control of the
greater part Of the business. They
throng the markets every day, some
with native chocolate, some with flow
ers and vegetables and some with orna.
ments and native cloths. They excel
in the Mexican drawn work, and deal
ers come from all the large cities to
buy of them.
Many of the women are handsome In
vivid, tropical way. They are tall and
straight, with superb physical develop
ment, flashing brown eyes, olive skin
and red lips.-Brooklyn Eagle.

She Is q woman past her prime,
Yet age has left her still as fair

She knew life's golden summer time.
Her smile more sweet for fallen tears,
Her heart grown kinder since it learned
The griefs that married. the pain that burned,
The disappointment of the years
Call. her not old whose lips can speak
So tenderly to those oppressed.
Call her not old within whose breast
The loveless find the love they seek.

She scatters incense, balm and myrrh,
Until know these are for her
The blest st. Martin days of life.

Ovation to Kiplinp.

Liverpool. June PA large number of
people assembled at the landing stage
mere to-day to witness the debarkation of
the passengers who arrived on the White
Star line steamer Teutonic, which left
New York June IA. When they were all
ashore it was announced that Mr.. and
Mrs. Rudyard kipling had landed hours
previously. A stampede to the railway
station ensued and the train in waiting
was effectually searched. 1t was then
discovered that the popular author was
still on board the Teutouic and the crowd
raced back to the vessel, reaching the
steamer just in time to see Mr.. Kipling
walk quietly down the gangway. He re-
fused to be interviewed, saying emphati-
cally that he had nothing to commune
cate to the public. He made his way to
the station, took a corner seat in a car
rage and began reading a newspaper and
smoking. Those who saw him say Mr..
kipling looks better than when he left
England
