A TALE OF TWO CITIES.
The PeriIs of Living Near the Mex.
lean boundary Line.

The PeriIs of Living Near the Mex.
lean boundary Line.
Some PECULIAR conditions prevail at
the twin cities of Nogales, Mexico,
and Nogales, Ariz.," said the Detroiter,
who recently returned from visit to
Mexico. "The international boundary
line is formed by street that divides
the two towns, and the boundary
stakes are set out with very nice
regard for technicalities. There Is a
saloon there which has more than a
local reputation, and the proprietor is
certainly an enterprsing individual.
His saloon is located on the street di-
viding the two counties and at point
where the dividing line is not clearly
defined. The patron Of this saloon
buys his drink in America, and, step
ping across the hall, he buys his cigar
in Mexico. In this way the proprietor
avoids the duty Oh imported cigars
and can provide his customers with
the best make at lower prices than
most of his competitors.
"They tell an amusing story about an
American who imbibed too much fight
Ing whisky at this saloon. When he
arrived at certain stage, he allowed
his prejudices to get the better of him,
and, standing near the boundary line
of his own country, he heaped anathe-
mas and hurled defiances at the people
across the border. A couple Of Mexi-
can officers stood across the street al
most within reach of the pugnacious
American, hoping that he would stroll
across into Mexico. He did get over
there after awhile, although the trip
was wholly unpremeditated. During
a harangue against Mexican institu-
tions in general and the police in par
| ticular he happened to lurch too far
over to starboard, and fell into Mexico.
The alert cops promptly grabbed him,
and, though he didn't get chance to
take in the sights, he paid quite an ex-
tended visit to the country he had so
eloquently maligned." Detroit Free

THE TURQUOISE.

The turquoise. the birthstone for De-
cember, signifies prosperity.
The turquoise was familiar and IA
vorite gem among the ancient Mexi-
cans and Indians Of the west.
The turquoise fades when It's owner
is Ill, and dies when the wearer Is at
tackled by an incurable malady--so they
say.
The Germans claim that by its vary
Ing shades the turquoise turns telltale
on the caprices and moods Of its
wearer.
Shakespeare gives these words to
shylock: 'He would not have lost his
turquoise ring for a whole wilderness
Of monkeys"
The turquoise derives its name from
word meaning Turkish and is SO
called because the first turquoises were
found in Turkey.
If your birthday comes in December
and you wear turquoise, you need
never be afraid of falling off high
place. One of the powers of the azure
hued gem is to preserve its wearer
from this catastrophe.
1t Is also said that 1t has the power
of protecting its wearer against con-
tagion. A turquoise would certainly
be an ornamental substitute for vacci-
nation. Its efficiency would probably
depend upon the faith" Of the wearer.

FISH AS FOOD.
THE Best Kinds TO Eat and the Way
to Cook Them.

The Best Kinds 10 Eat and the Way
to Cook Them.
Fish constitutes one of the most val
liable articles of diet for mankind, al
though the popular notion that it is
good brain food because of the phos-
phorus 1t contains Is incorrect. AS a
matter of fact fish meat in general con-
tains less phosphorus than most kinds
of flesh meat. But it is good for the
brain indirectly, for it is less stlmulat-
ing than flesh meat, Is usually digested
more easily and causes the production
in the system of fewer of the waste
products which, If not Mt once climi-
mated, act injuriously upon the deli
cate nervous system.
The last mentioned property Is one
which renders fish of especial value in
the diet of persons suffering from
Brlght's disease and other affections of
the kidneys, from rheumatism, gout
and all those diseases which many ply
sicians regard as the result OF excessive
formation or retention Of uric acid. For
convalescents also it Is most useful, as
1t supplies fair amount of nutritive
material in palatable form, with min
imum Of tax on the digestive organs.
Among the most nourlshing and at
the same time dlgestible fish are blue
fish, shad, red snapper, fresh Goldfish,
whitefish, striped bass, halibut and
founders And equally nutritious, al
though perhaps less digestiblc, are
brook trout, lake trout, salmon, mack
erel and cells. Roe il not particularly
nutritious, but it is agreeable to the
taste and fairly digestible.
The mode of preparation has much to
do with the digestibility Of fish, as 1t
has with that of all other foods. Boil
ing and broillng are better modes of
cooking than frying.
The chief objection to fish Is its
proneness to decomposition, even when
kept ON Ice. 1t may be free from any
taste or odor and yet 1t may have un'
dergone changes which make 1t poison
GUS. Some fish are poisonous in them
selves, containing In the natural state
some substance which viii cause alarm
Ing symptoms. or even death, II eaten
With some persons fish In any form
does not agree, causing digestive dlsor
dcrs or skin eruptions. This Is notably
true of Holsters and crabs.-Youth's

PEcULIARITlEs OF SOUND.
The Kind of Note best Suited For
Long Range Signals.

Lung hnn2c s1GnaIs.
Signals made by sounds of explosion
are not the most reliable. Their pene-
tratlon is obviously often uncertain,
while, their duration being brief, they
may be missed by momentary inatten-
tlon. The reed horn was the more eff
cient instrument as compared with
guncotton cartridges over London. The
Siren would probably have been yet
more efficient as also doubtless q horn
capable of producing two notes differ
ing, say, by the interval of third or a
fifth, conclusion arrived at many
years ago by experiments which have
been unhappily too much lost sight of.
Professor Piazzi Smith found by trial
that high note was generally more
penetrating as signal, but advised
that such note should not be used
alone, assigning as one reason that in
divlduals possess note deafness similar
to color blindness, so that no one note
could be trusted. Experiments went to
prove that sound varying between
high and low note best arrested at
tention at long range.
And the same result has been arrived
at in another way. The peculiar cry of
the Alpine guide which Is, in fact, of
that nature which Professor Smith ad-
vocates has doubtless been taught by
the eXigencles Of his situation, where
his voice is required to carry across
broad and deep ravines. Nature has
taught the same lesson in the Austria
liam wilds, where the characteristic
"Cowi, cowiw appears essential to pen
citrate the deep woods.
Nor indeed need we look farther for
an example of the same kind than our
own village lanes. The high pitched
voices OF children are very fnrreaching.
Their shouting can be heard farther
away in the sky than that of man, and
in calling to their fellows they always
employ a trick of the voice taught
doubtless by experience. The child
will summon her playmate from far
away with a well practiced sally"
the first syllable, high pitched and pro-
longed, giving place to the second syl-
liable uttered abruptly In q yet higher
note And this mode of calling is uni
versal. Century.

Caught n Tartar.

Canon Carter was the terror of COM
posltors His was perhaps, after Dean
Stanley's, The very worst handwriting
of the last century.
About 1850 the then bishop of Lich-
field, DR. Maclagan, surprised one Of
his secretaries by saying: II have
hardly ever received an anonymous
letter, but got one this morning. 1t is
very badly written, and | can hardly
make it out, but from the signature it
is sure to be abusive. The man has
signed himself "A Tartar See IL you
can make 1t out"
The secretary, who knew the hand
writing, rather startled his lordshlp by
rejoining; Its nothing alarming. It's
only a note from Canon Carter OF

at each successive splash.

window and in the direction Of chest

ing chestnut burs out of his hair and
clothing when he saw the building
that he had so suddenly left coming
directly toward him.
