WORK WHEN THEY PLEASE.
Mexican Poems Are the Most Inde-
pendent LabOring People
on Earth.

Observers of industrial conditions
in Mexico assert that, as far as they
have noted, there is no more indie
pendent person in the world than the
Mexican laborer. Especially is this
true of the peon of the tropics. 1t
would seem that he works for Amer
leans who have big plantations to de-
velop more as a matter of accommo-
dation than from necessity. He de-
mands snug sum in advance, too. on
which to have good time at the
festas before he settles down to sew
eral months of drudgery. No native
Indian has to work for white men in
the tropics in order to gain u liveli-
hood. His wants are few, his ambi-
ton is limited to desire for enough
to eat, matched hut and little
cotton cloth. The hut he can make
for himself. There are fish in the
river and game in the forest. There
is plenty of unoccupied land upon
which he can raise a few cereals to
trade for the things he cannot pro-
duce himself. There is no winter to
provide against, and, though the
rainy days come often in summer
they only mean more rest.

COAL-BINS ALL OVER WORLD.
Their Necessity Was Made Apparent
by the Late Spnnish-Amer-
lean War.

In the late war with Spain the
standing order of the secretary of the
navy was that all the ships should be
kept full of the best coal obtainable,
says the Philadelphia Saturday Even
ing Post. The controversies that
came after the war refer ad largely
to the question of coal supply Since
then the department has been laying
in supplies in every part of the world
where the fuel may be needed by our
ships of war. We are acquiring coal
ing stations in islands VI erever it can
be done. In our new colonies thou
sands of tons are being stored.
Take, for instance, the Dry Tortu-
gas and Key West, the points which
command the entrances to the Gulf
of Mexico. There will be piers and
coal sheds with capacity of 10000
tons. and the channel will be dredged
so that the largest ships will have
no difficulty. BY extending the chain
of stations this country will be in
control of the entire gulf On the Pa
cific coast buildings will be erected
with a capacity of 100000 tons of
coal. More buildings and piers win
be constructed for Honolulu, at Guam
and in the Philippines, and thus grad
uaIly there will be built up COM
plete system of coal deposits in vari-
Gus parts of the world.

There is a sharp debate going on in
Australia just now over the abuses of
the free pass system. Every member
of the ministry gets gold pendant to
wear on his watch chain, which en-.
titles him to n free ride over any rail
road. The special beauty of the ar
rangcment Is hat Il lasts for life, and
while the ofiiceholders' family is not
supposed to share in the privilege, the
railway officials are very lenient. One
of the humors of the recent debate lay
in the fact that IA DIR, Mckay, who was
rejected by his constituents for oppos-
ing the free passage of troops bound
for South Africa, has the free use oil
the state railways for life, because he
was once minister of education for ten
days.

MAxIMILIAN'S WATCH.
How Paderewskis Visit TO Mexico
City Drought the Relic
to Light.

Two notable historical articles were
brought to light by the visit OF Ignace
paderewski to Mexico City recently.
says the jewelers. Weekly Circular.
| The conf, of the noted pianist had
been hera.ded through the country,
and music lovers focked in to the two
| recitals given in Ell Teatro Nacional.
Among the visitors was a pianist of
merit named Tiburcio Saucedo, from
| the state of Jalisco, and he brought
with him the two articles which have
revived memories of Maximilian. One
of the relics is the watch which the
general personally placed in the hands
of the officer who commanded the pla-
toon whose office it was to end the
earthly career of the three-Mexia,
Miramon and Maximilian-on the hill
of the Bells, near Queretaro.
The gold watch is key winder of
double case and an old make. On one
sioe of the cover is view of the i'm
pe-ial palace of Vienna, the luster be-
ing somewhat worn; on the opposite
cover the Archduchess Sofia is rep
resented seated on a throne in the act
of blessing boy kneeling on ting step.
1t is supposed to represent Macmillan
himself at about IA years of age. 1t
is claimed that short time after the
execution of Macmillan an unknown
man appeared at pawnshop, called
the ''Monje Negro" or Black Monk,
in the city of Guadalajara, asking that
a certain amount of money be loaned
on the watch. A lawyer, Don Urbano
Gomez, happened to be present. Senior
Gomez examined the watch and bought
it. After his death it was sold to
Senior Saucedo by the sister of Gomez
widow.

DIANA OF PHILADELPHIA.
Curious Coin In the Mint of
That City.

At the mint in Philadelphia are q
number of coins far more precious
than any which find their way into
circulation. They are collection of
curios, and many of them date from
times of great antiquity.
Perhaps the most interesting among
them is a handsome coin bearing on
its face the profile of a woman, which
has a striking resemblance to the God
dess of Liberty of our own currency.
Underneath is the single word
Demos which is the Greek for "The
People"
On the reverse of the coin is a beau
tiful figure of the goddess Diana, arch
ing her bow, and the inscription, trans
lated into English, reads: Diana,
Friend OF the Thladelphians."
The coin was minted more than 1000
years ago at the city of Philadelphia in
Asia Minor, where, as we know. there
grew up in later years one of the seven
churches of which st. John writes.
The prize was discovered some years
ago in Europe by Joseph Mickey, of
Philadelphia, violin-maker and an
authority on coins, BY him it was APP
propriately presented to the mint in
Philadelphia.

One of the most r. markable animals
on the Pacific to disappear before the

years was the rhytina or sea cow
rhytina gigas-which was discovered
by Behring in 17il on the island that

American.
The surgeon Of the wrecked party

and a weight of 5000 pounds.
The animal was found in herds about
the mouths of streams, and being II
clumsy creature, with no means of de

So vigorous was the warfare against

had been destroyed, and in 176S the
last one paid the penalty and tn,

TELEGRApHED UP ONE FLIGHT
California Man Wires a Message Up
One Pair of Stairs While
I'm the East.

That New York is big city, which
the stranger seldom learns very well,
was quite forcibly expressed upon a
certain wellknown Californian a few
days ago. He comes here twice a
year, and has long since learned to
find his way about, says a New York
corresr Jndent of the San Francisco
Chronicle.
He was charging about the business
district and suddenly remembered
that he wanted to telegraph to a
friend whose Offices are at No. 1875
Broadway. The Californian dashed
into the nearest telegraph office, wrote
out his dispatch, and, covering it with
the coin, passed it through the wick
ct to the receiver. The receiver
smiled.
what is the matter?" demanded
the Californian.
"Why, this is No. 1875 Broadway"
said the receiver, land your man is
up just one flight of stairs"
There was a confused period that
lasted about second, and when the
Californian got his nerve back he
calmly said: know that. Let it go,
anyway. l guess l can telegraph
across this room or this counter, if l
want to, and have the money We
do that thing out in California every
day for a joke"
The receiver may have been bluffed.
but as receivers go they are hard to
impress

A CONTINENTAL DAM.
Il Sounds Like = Cus~ Word, bat This
Account Proves 1t to BE
Otherwise.

Can you give the origin of the ex-
preston continental DAMP" asks q
correspondent of ths Philadelphia
Times. 1t sounds profane, but is it?
Possibly, and in all probability, it owes
it's existence to the continental cur
rency of revolutionary fame or its
counterfeit. During the darkest days
of the revolutionary war, whrn the
credit of the continental Cover nment
was at it's lowest ebb and the redemp-
ton of its currency of grave doubt,
this currency had deprecated TO such
ar extent that we arc told it required
5000 of its face value to purchase q
good substantial pair of boots. Not
content with this dsplorable condition
of things, however, Yankee ingenuity
devised a substitute (counterfeit) for
this currency, and when these spurious
notes came under the notice and de-
lection of bank officials it was their
custom to stamp upon them the Latin
word damnato (condemneD, or. in its
abbreviated form dam" thus ending
their disastrous career
Is it possible TO conceive of anything
more utterly worthless or good for
nothing than this counterfeit CONT
mental money forever condemned by
this dam upon it, and is not this the
most logical and natural deduction Of
the origin of the expression, ut is not
worth a continental dam so much
like profanity, and yet. If we are cor
rect, so absolutely free from it?

QUININE FIENDs MULTIPLY.
1 New York Druggist Protests Tho
People Are Too Free with
the Drug.

The druggist was in a talkativc
mood. In the last hour he had SOLD.
quinine to nine customers, and he felt
called upon to make a mild protest.
says the New York Mail and Express.
1T is strange" said he, what sim
pie faith most persons have in. the
virtue of quinine and whisky as a
cure-all. If the average man sneezes
a few times he buys a lot of quinine
capsules and pint of Jersey light
ming and goes to bed with it, He
washes ten or IL grains of quinine
down with half pint or so of the
whisky, and the next morning he gets
up feeling old, bedraggled and gem
orally unfit for publication. He might
better have had the cold Ian to sub
ject his system to such strain. The
quinine is drug which should be
handled with as much care as any
other. Why, some customers of
mine are regular quinine fiends, and
take the stuff on the slightest pre-
text. Perhaps they want some ex-
cuse for getting away with the whis-
ky. But it's a pretty small man who
would look at it in that way. What
people don't seem to understand is
that quinine has certain defined uses
and is not a panacea. When you put
whisky with it you get a mixture
which should be handled with as
much care as aconite or anything
else

DID NOT PLATTER THE ORATOR
A Minnesota Congressman Who Made
Hit by the Drummer
He Engaged.

Congressman Eddy, of Minnesota,
enjoys joke, even though it is at his
own expense. He relates this story of
how one Of his constituents got the
best of him and eurbed his youthful
vanity, says the Chicago Chronicle.

trict one year" said Mr. Eddy, Il took
along as an attraction veteran of the
war of 1912 and of the civil war who
was a famous hand at beating the
drum He was drummer from away
back and could arouse whole town
ship. Drum music is an incendiary
kind of thing anyhow, and the old
captains drumming was particularly
stirring.
"Well. one night, after the captains
drum had given the usual overture, |
commenced my speech to the populace
which had been lured to the scene by
bis drum. ! noticed at the foot Of the
rostrum, the same being big dry
goods box, a bright-eyed little fellow
about 12 years old, who sat through
the speech, following me with great at
tention. 1t pleased me very much.
Any fool can interest an audience of
adults, but it takes "a genius to hold a
child.
so, after the speaking, went down
and spoke to the little fellow, and after
shaking hands with him asked him
how he liked my speech.
"'Oh, it will do he said, but II ]
was you | would keep the captain
a drummin' all the time"

On the appointed Sunday what was

TESTING CANNED MEATS.
How 1t Is Done In the WoOlwich Re-
serve Depot I'm Eng
land.

Among the most incomprehensibl
proceedings to be observed within the
vast area of Woolwich reserve depot
are the doings of a small party of Off
Gals, one of whom appears to do moth
ing all day long but sit at table and
tap on the top of in canisters with
couple of bits of stick something after
the manner of child beating on the
upturned end of his drum, says the
London News. The tins are passed
before him about as fast as he can tap
them, and absolutely nothing seems to
come of the game. To the unenlight-
ened onlooker it is quite unintelligible.
The tins contain meat, and before they
are passed into store it is, of course,
important to examine the condition
of what is inclosed, and this, in fact,
is the way it is done. The trained ear
of the expert examiner can tell wheth-
er the meat is in a wholesome or a
putrid condition by the sound emitted
when raped with the stick, just as the
examiner of railway carriage wheels is
supposed to be able to tell whether the
wheel he taps with his hammer is
cracked or not The rapidity with
which the business is gone through
and the seeming inattention of the
performer with the sticks and his total
Indifference to all sorts of noises about
him render the procedure a very GU
rious one to watch. The test is said to
be practically infallible.
