CENSUS FIGURES OF MEXICO,
show That the Population of the Re-
j public Numbers Twelve and H
H.. IT, q Half Millions,

+ The results of the general census of
Mexico taken in 1895, which have lust
been published, show population of
1913, almost equally divided be-
tween males and females. Only two
states-Jalisco and Guanajuat o-have
a population of more than 100000
while the state of Mexico has about
100000. AS a whole, says the Buffalo
Express, Mexico must be regarded as
a healthful place of residence, for the
census records more than 700 centen-
arians. In the foreign-born popula-
ton of the country the United States
stands next to Spain, the latter being
slightly in excess with 1859.
llliteracy is very high, more than
100000 of the population being una
BILE either to read or write. This is
approxima tely three-fourths of the
inhabitants. The Roman Catholics of
Mexico number only about 100000 less
than, the total population of the coun-
try. OF the remainder $4,000 have no
professed belief and $4,000 are divided
between ten different beliefs ranging
from Protestanism to IMahammedan-
ism. There are more than 100000
people in Mexico who do not speak
Spanish. whose, native tongue is one
of SO Mexican and Indian languages.
These tongues, with the foreign Ian
guages spoken in the republic, make up
a total of SO languages to be heard
in Mexico. - L. +. a..

IN REQUEST BY THE WOMEN.
Austrian Who offered Himself in
Marriage to Five Score

Probably the most successful sutton
of modern times is Alois Frankenberg,
Bavarian, who was lately sentenced at
Gratx, in Austria, to spend two years
and half III prison because he made
love to too many girls and swindled
them out Of goodly sums of money.
The son and heir of wealthy man at
Gratz, reports foreign exchange, he
quickly ran through his patrimony.
whereupon he advertised for wife in
several papers. Girls of all ranks of So
ciety answered his advertisement, and
selecting among them those who were
come,y and who had money, he prom
ised to'marry them. Gradually he in
weighed their money from them and
then he disappeared, leaving the hap
less women to mourn over his fckleness
and dishonesty. %,.S IT,. 5.
& He was next heard of at Munich.
where he played the same trick and
with equal success on several young
and old widows. To the neigh boring
cities he also paid frequent visits and
ever with the same object in view, the
result being that in short time he had
accumulated quite. handsome fortune.
Unfortunately he went one day to
gratz and was seen by one Of his VIC
TINS, who promptly had him arrested.
&. This modern Don Juan is himself au-
thority for the statement that he had
offered his hand and heart to at least
100 maidens and widows. ,%a ss.

THE CENTURY MARK.
Centenarian Choctnw squaw who Is
still Able to Make Long Trips
Over the Country.

The Oldest person living in Kansas is
a Choctaw squaW known as Nancy Ja-.
5cobs, who lives in Cedar county in the
ChoctaW nation. There is no doubt
whatever that she is over 1OOyears DID,
She was practically discovered by cen:
sus enumerator recently. Her Indian
name is Honitima, and she is the wife
Of medicine man long since dead;
She lives alone in an cd log cabin. No
roads lead to her house, save a little
trail through the woods, scarcely dis
tinguishable, When asked by the CEN
sus man how old she was she said she
was not sure, but must be over 100
years. She was a grown woman when
the. Choctaws migrated to the Indian
territory from their old home in Mis-
sissippi. She was an old woman when
/ the civil war broke out, and tells how
she made vannaha, an Indian bread,
made OF corn, beans and other ingredi-
=.ents and wrapped in corn shucks, for
the boys who fought the Faluma, as the
Indians called the Yankees. #
Nancy is a big woman. very tall and
erect. She is one Of the original six
town Indians, a clan among the Choc-
taws. She is a medicine woman and
treats the young people of the tribe
with the same mysterious connections
that were used by her husband. She
says she is as strong as when she was
20 years old. She makes long trips to
Antlers, a distance of 80 miles, in her
old wagon, and bitches up and I'M
bitches alone. She has few hogs and
makes her own meat for the winter.
She has a married daughter 60 years
old. She cannot understand or speak
English, and has never seen a railroad
train. *>- - n J.

THE CHINESE DRAGON.
" = the Emblem Of Royalty and Is
Called Lung in China

In China the fve-clawed dragon is
the emblem Of royalty. Usually it is
pictured as arising from the sea and
clutching at the sun, thus expressing
the idea Of universal dominion. The
emperors person is called the dragons
body, his throne the dragons throne.
To see the emperor, a privilege al
lowed to but few, is to see the CONS
face. The emperor's crest is a dragon;
a dragon appears on the Chinese flag.
The dragon is called ssLung" in
China and symbolizes all that is i'm
posing and powerful. The mass of
the people believe in the dragon as an
actual existence, and waste much time
and money in attempting to propiti-
ate the monster. The dragon has been
described by Chinese writer's as a
most fearsome-looking monster, and
they give it all sorts Of extraordinary
attributes.
There are three kinds Of dragons,
one Of the sky, one Of the marshes and
one of the sea. The two former must
remain in their habitat, but the latter,
the most powerful, can rise to the
sky and holds dominion r. over the
rivers.
This dragon is greatly feared by
fishermen, and they take great pains
to treat it with due respect and cour-
tesy. Every spring the fishermen
gather and march in professions in
honor of the dragon, each man carry
ing a pole with lantern made in the
form of fish. A huge dragon, ami
mated by men concealed in his body,
heads the procession. For a month
during the early summer the fisher
men set fire to joss papers and throw
them upon the waters to appease the
Lung Wang, as the water dragon is
called. And at all seasons the fisher
men throw over vast quantities of fire.
crackers from their boats in order tic
keep the Lung away. The Lung is
supposed not to like the noise of ex-
ploding crackers.
All mandarins of high rank have a
dragon embroidered in gold thread on
colored silks on the front and back
of their coats. This dragon is distin-
guished, however, from the imperial
dragon by having but four claws. The
dragon is also a favorite emblem upon
plates and cups among the richer
classes.-N. Y. Herald. 49,.

MISHAPS IN MID-OCEAN.
Made Necessary Some Very Interesting
Repairs-Replacing a Propeller.

The steamship "Border Knight"
was disabled at sea by losing pro-
peller. The tail shaft broke short off
at the boss and dropped to the bottom
Of the ocean. The machinery was
Immediately stopped and for safety
the steam was run through the
winches instead of using the auto
matte blow-off. Very interesting re-
pairs were then made, says the Scien-
tifc American. The "Border
Knight carried only water ballast
and was 1900 miles from New York.
There was spare tail shaft and pro-
peller on board. Of course, it would
not have done to have pulled the
broken tail shaft back into the tunnel,
as this would have opened hole be-
low the water line. The engineer,
whose name is Gerrie, made plug
just the size Of the shaft hole, He
was then lowered over the stern with
rope, and seated himself on the
pintle of the rudder. He then sue
ceeded in inserting the plug and driv-
ing it home. The broken tail shaft
was then removed and the water was
pumped from the stern ballast tanks.
It was necessary to drive the plug
still further in, and this was accom-
plished by the heroic engineer,
though sharks we're following the
vessel in considerable numbers. The
spare tail shaft was gotten into posi-
ton and the spare propeller, which
weighed eight tons, was lowered over
the side of the boat and Slowed around
until it was in proper position. The
tail shaft was then pushed ouI
through the hole in the stern, dis
placing the plug. The propeller was
then worked over it to the shoulder
of the boss, and the key was driven in.
The forward section of the shaft was
then replaced, the couplings we're
made, the bolts frightened, and after
four days and three hours work the
vessel proceeded upon her journey.
