THE INDIANS OF MEXICO.
Various Good Traits Among the
Ancient Races of the Land.

From the Mexican Herald)
The Mexican Indian is opposed to novel
ties in customs, dress or religion. Every
little while some one catches him worship
ing his ancient idols in out-of-the-way
cave. The practice may be reprehensible,
but it does the Indian lots of good. IL
helps him maintain his connection with
the past, his own past, which was rudely
broken in upon by men in armor, who
gave him new belief at the end of
sharp pike, and then enslaved MIN for
sordid purposes. This the Indian. who
never forgets, does not let drop out OF
his recollection. Some of the Indians
dream of a restoration of ali things-to
the Indian scheme as it existed before
Herman Cortes went ar bucaneering on
land in this country. In this he makes
mistake. for revolutions are not in the
habit Of going backward; but that the
Indian is going to be power In the land
il Is not difficult TO see. He is sending his
children to the public schools, and he is
himself thinking along novel lines. That
is, the educated Indian is. He is rot
enamoTed of Latin civilization and the
Roman law. Rather would he, II he were
in power in the land, make a Tolstoian
community in which no one should be
rich, none degraded IN AFFECT poverty.
The Indian mind is said TO be stubborn;
but is a good logically working mind and
takes a practical view OF things. The
white mans civilization with its palaces
and aristocratie sections, and its contrast
ing and filthy slums. is not what the edu-
Gated Indian regards as the last word"
of human progress. He is a leveler and
a practical liver of the simple life, not
doing much theorizing over social equality
in the reviews and in books, but really
preferring to see his neighbor happy and
well fed. This is why the Indian, when
let alone, is communistic. There are
white men ambitious Of converting the
Indian: but the white man himself needs
the Indians mental medicine. The world
is sick with greed and monopolistic mania
and the Indian offers practical equality.
There are people who want to kill off the
Indian folk. They won't succeed in this
sunny land of Mexico and We are glad OF
it. The Indian as he acquires power
through education is going TO bring the
antidote for the white mans bane. In this
way Montezuma will return, and that is
the way to interpret the prophecy.

EASY TO BALANCE COINS.

A young man from wholesale house

while the money was being counted cut

marble ledge in front of the paying teller
window. Finally he performed an aston

half dollar edge to edge on top of it. and
completed the pyramid with a bright new

eyes protrude from their sockets.

Gen. Lees Death Mask.

While workmen were engaged in making some necessary repairs at the Corcoran Art Gallery in this city re- gently one of the number came across a plaster cast of a human face. Di- rector Mcclure, who is a brother-in- law of Fighting Bob' Evans of the navy, at once recognized the east as one that was taken by Clark Mills from the features of Robert k. Lee at the time of his death, while president of Washington ana Lee University of Virginia. This death mask Of the southern hero had been sought for high and low for the last ten years. but nobody seemed to know what had become of it after the funeral of Gen eral Lee. Now that it has been re- stored, it is proposed to make bronze reproduction of the mask and place it among the treasures of the CorcOran gallery. Washington and Lee Uni versity will also be given an oppor- tunity to receive this memento of a former president of that institution, and it is quite likely bronze replica will be sent this university.

Wellington Denounces Imperialism.

In his speech at the annual banquet of the Maryland Bar Association, at Cumberland, Md, United States Sen ator Wellington made vigorous ar gument against imperialism.
 He declared it was the duty of mem- bers of the bar, above all others, to maintain and uphold the law; that the supreme law of the land was its Con stitution, and that the undermining of that law meant either anarchy or des- potism.
 The fathers of the republic, he said, brought forth the Declaration of lnde- pendence in order to secure inalien- able rights, and the same spirit that actuated them should dominate every citizen of the United States today.
 Others, he declared, might be willing to yield to the commercial spirit or the age and override the Constitution for temporary advantage. but he would not support any policy which denied to others in distant islands the right ts for which our fathers bled and died.
 Senator Wellington urged the law yers to stand by the Constitution of the United States, cautioning them to watch every insidious influence that might undermine it. He said his con- science was the guide in this matter, and he would listen to no other in- fluence.
 Though Senater Wellington made no direct reference to President Me- Kinley or the administration, it was the general opinion that, having ex- pressed those sentiments, he could scarcely avoid voting the democratic ticket.

 The figures on which the report will

 99l,2l9 pensioners on the rolls. Dur
 ing the year 40,645 original pensions
 were granted and 1899 names were restored to the rolls. To offset these 43,334 names were dropped from the rolls during the year, including B, S09 by reason of deaths.

ELECTRICITY ROUTS FROST.
A Wisconsin Inventor Employs 'he
Current to Thow out Frozen
Water Pipes.

The electrical engineering depart
ment of the University of Wisconsin Is
responsible for the method of thawing
out frozen water pipes by electricity
The results are reported to be highly
satisfactory. Not only are pipes
thawed out more rapidly than when
the plumber has spent a large part OF
the day tinkering with them, but the
process also has the merit of being IN
expensive. All that is done is to attach
a wire at the meter if the freeze is out
side of it and another at the nearest
hydrant. A circuit is secured by means
of the frozen pipe and the electricity
being turned on the pipes are thawed
out in less than ten minutes. BY this
system no pipes burst, as they often
do when the plumber is called in.
The process is the invention of Profs.
Dugald c. jackson Wood and Burgess,
of the university, and was first tried
in Madison, with the result that water
flowed in from ~ to 20 minutes after
the current-was applied.
The power used in these tests varied
from IL to 20 horse power used for
about quarter of an hour, and in each
case the pipe operated on was warmed
sufficiently SO that it was comforta bic
to the hand. The process, when prop
erly applied, cannot possibly cause in
jury to the pipes or property in the vi
cinity or to the persons of passers near
by. 1t is now in regular use. by the
consent of the inventors, by the Madi-
son Electric Light company, who iscar-
rying out an organized crusade against
frozen service pipes in Madison. There
are reported to be as many as 400
frozen pipes in Madison. The work is
adaptable to the conditions in any
city, and requires a suitable generator
of electricity, controlling devices and
conducting wires. After the process is
properly understood it can be eNpedi-
tiously operated by two intelligent
workmen with conveyance to carry
around the appliances, and the in
ventors estimate that from ten to
thirty separate service pipes may be
thawed out by such an outfit in a day.
In thawing service pipes two are
cleared out at one "thaw," where two
frozen pipes are on the same block
