hostess hopelessly as well as the rest
of the guests. The man was obvious
ly in funk, and if had told him to
go or showed him by my expression
that such was my wish, he would
have rushed away in a second. So 1
decided to acknowledge the introduce
tion by bow and my wife did the
same. The man was led away inn
mediately to be presented to the
other guests.
'In the minute that my wife and I
were together we decided to remain
perfectly quiet on the subject. Luck
lily, the man was placed at distance
on the other side of the table. When
the women left the room he excused
himself on the ground of another
engagement and hurried away.
when we got home that night to
the hotel I found evidence of his
services. I was not in the habit of
seeing him under any circumstances
until morning, and 7 awaited him
with especial interest the next day.
1t seemed to me that I should have
to let him go. I was just starting
on long tour, and had no idea
where I should get another man so
/ good, if indeed 1 found one of any
kind. This thought always dis
turbed me, but it seemed there was
nothing left for me to do but to
tell him to go back to England,
where he was at least free from the
temptation Of trying to go where
/ he had no business.
"But never had the opportunity
Of testing my fortitude in discharg-

very respectable note was brought
by one of the boys IN the hotel. 1t

MEAL HOURS in MEXICO.

from the United States.

Differences in Customs Noted by Visitors
from the United States.
The Mexican breakfast, like that
of the French, consists only of bread
and coffee. Lunch and dinner, OF
dinner and supper, as they are called,
differ but slightly. Dinner is served
usually about two o'clock. 1t be-
gins with soup and eggs, and then
follow a number of meats; each
served as a separate course, with an
entire change Of service every time.
The meats are eaten quite alone,
few vegetables being served in addl-
ton to the salad course, and such as
are used for punishment The des-
sert courses at a Mexican table differ
even more radically from those
served on American tables Home
made pies, cakes and puddings are
practically unknown. The Mexican
housewife pays comparatively little
attention to the kitchen, and rarely
cooks anything herself. If pastry
is desired, it is purchased Of the dull
ceria.
Nothing, says Modern Mexico, is
baked in a Mexican house, even the
bread being universally bought from
bakers. Mexican cooks do not, as a
rule, understand pastry making, and
their sweets are limited to stewed
fruits, usually cooked to the con-
sistency of the richest and sweetest
preserves, so that very small por-
ton is satisfying. Business hours in
Mexico begin in the afternoon at
$3.50 or three o'clock, and run until
seven or eight o'clock, in the even
ing, so that the supper hour falls any
where from $50 to an hour later. |
This is probably one reason that I.
Mexicans are not more given to even /
ing entertainments. Attendance /
upon the theater entails the necessity ,
Of an unusually early supper, or else
its postponement until after the per-
Torrance, a thing that often occurs.
On the other hand, leisurely supper
Of an hour or more, beginning at
nine o'clock, brings the close pretty
close to bedtime.

enough to pass one, and has the

STARVATION A LONG WAY OFF.

In spite Of the fact that beefsteaks
look like considerably more than thirty
cents and coal Is higher than the ther-
mometer in the middle of July there
is no immediate need for anybody to
proceed with preparations to starve or
freeze to death. Even in a storm it is
usually possible for those who are in It
to see at least a CLINT of sunshine at
the edge Of some Of the clouds. Just
such a situation confronts those who
were almost in the grasp of the beef
trust. It is happily not imperative on
any American to eat tenderloins. Sta
tistics are at hand to show that many
men and women have lived four score
years. happily and contentedly, with
out them.
In word, there are dozens Of other
things to eat and just at this juncture
some Of them are cheap, surprisingly
cheap. Weather conditions this year
have been ideal for potatoes, and the
farmers Of Pine, Kanabec, Anoka and
adjoining counties have raised from 500
to 700 bushels Of them to the acre. SO
plentiful are the Irish tubers that they
are selling at 18 cents bushel and
may drop as low as II cents. The
large. dry, nealy potato, well baked
and buttered, isn't bad sort OF a dish

WHAT AGITATION CAN DO.

T h Clio b e has repeatedly directed
public attention to the social crime pre-
Tailing generally throughout the South
of keeping little children at work in the
cotton factories of that section. Not
until within the past few weeks was
any response whatever given by public
sentiment even outside the South, of
opposition to the practice Now, how
ever, the signs of awakening are becom-
ing general, and the Southern people
themselves, as the press of that section
indicates, are becoming aroused to the
danger and the disgrace involved.
Two influences We're effective in pre-
venting any action to put stop to the
employment of young children the
Southern factories. Appeals against
what was called outside interference,
and arguments of economy necessary
TO the upbui1dng Of young industrial
undertakings were sufficient to stay the
progress of humane sentiment on the
subject among a people naturally hu-
name, as are the Southern people.
1t was not until the condition was
brought home to the general knowledge
Of the American people through the
press of the country that the extent or
evil effects Of the situation were rec
ognized. Every Eastern and Western,
state has legal regulations, more or less
stringent, against the engagement of
youth in industrial pursuits. Fourteen
years is the minimum age at which en-
ployment is allowed; and that regula-
ton, taken in connection with the re-
quirement that children shall be kept
at school for certain periods, were seen
to be necessary for the protection as
much of society itself as of the indi-
vidual.
A generation of weak bodies and un-
developed minds is the inevitable out
come Of the maintenance of the condi-
dons which are now happily doomed
to removal In Southern communities.
Factory operatives, as the records of
New England plainly show, are prone
to early marriages, owing to the bar
renness Of their lives. The progeny of
those who from their earliest wears
lived most Of the time in the unhealthy
atmosphere Of the mills could not fail
to inherit the physical and mental de-
tects of their parents. One of the seri-
GUS social dangers Of the South is now
the prevalence of illiteracy among even
the white population. The maintenance
OF child employment in the cities would

WHAT Is INSIDE THE EARTH?

Any man who has a new theory as
to the composition of the interior of the
earth and its relation to the phenomena
made manifest on its surface is enter
tanning. One Of these is J. P. Cole, of
North Oakley avenue, Chicago. He is
geologist who is someting Of genius
At any rate, his idea is no commonplace
one and is hedged about with several
apparent truths which give it some
thing of a standing from a scientific
standpoint.
While at work in Alaska in the sor-
did business of digging gold Cole says
he made observations of the aurora
borealis which set him to thinking, and
this cogitation led him to the conclu-
sion that the common view that the
lights OF the aurora are reflections
from icebergs Of the suns rays is in
correct because he asserts that at the
time they appear the sun is so low that
its rays could not strike the icebergs.
From his observations Cole makes
the deduction that the earth contains
huge magnetic core in it's center,
which accounts for attraction and
gravitation. He believes that this core
extends from the north to the south
pole, is hollow and that huge volumes
Of water are constantly circulating
through it, these waters being the
source of all the oceans and seas on
the face of the globe. He reasons that
the outer part of the magnetic core
contains large cones which extend to
the inner shell Of the earth, and that
between the inner shell and the mag
netic core there are giant caverns
which contain various kinds of gases.
His study Of the subject leads him to
believe that the aurora borealis is
caused by periodical shifting of the
magnetic core.
MIR. Cole does not stop here, but on
the magnetic core theory comes to the
conclusion that volcanoes and earth
quakes are probably the result of va
grant comets getting too close to the
earth's orbit. He says such an erratic
influence would easily account for an

DOING WONDERS IN BLENDING.

Not all of the twentieth century glory
for doing things of benefit to mankind
is going to Marconi and Tesla and Ed
ison. There is man out in California
who is as busy as the little bee writing
himself indelibly into history. His name
is Luther Burbank and he is already
known Ny some of his neighbors as the
wizard of horticulture" For many
years Burbank has been studying COM
binatfons, the blending of species and
varieties by cross. po1lenation, and SO
successful has he been that an attache
of the United Statesedepartment of ag-
riculture who recently visited one of
his fourteeh-acre fields Of wheat of a
new variety reports he found the grain
so absolutely uniform that all of the
joints of the stalks were on a water
level across the field. all being of the
same elevation above the ground.
His neighbors, some of whom have
of insanity, say he plants extensive
gardens and nurseries one year only to
pull them all up the, next, but they adj
nit that he often sells one tree out of
the>number for more money than they
make out Of all their fields together.
Won Muller says the English walnut
has been known to produce a single
tree that sold for $1,000. Now Burbank
believes he has improved the incom-
parable grain of the wood by crossing
= -A.z-
walnuts. 1t is even asserted by some
scientists that crosses such as Bur-
bank makes will often effect an adj
vance of twenty to thirty years in the
amelioration of a fruit ~
AT any rate, Burbank has already be-
come the leading topic of the Pacific
coast country and there is every rea-
son to believe him one of the wonders
of the new century.

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-The New
York Central is preparing to install a
new signal system by which 1t is
claimed all danger of an accident in
the Park avenue tunnel is abolished.
The device consists of two bulbs like
those covering the ordinary incandes-
cent light. They are fixed in a station
airy glass case Immediately in front of
the cab seat of the engineer. One bulb.
displaying the white light, is upright;
the other.F with the red light, is in

If there is anything the matter with
the track ahead, the red light flashes
out in front Of the engineer, and IL
the track is clear the white signal
burns.
In the fore part of the observation
cab are the two signal bulbs CORE
spending with those with which all the
engines on the line are equipped. The
hrst block signal of the usual kind in
dieates 'ah safe" Passing this signal
at good rate Of speed the white light
in the bulb flashes out. Far down the
tunnel can be seen the green lights
OF the danger signal on the next block.
When the engine is within three
yards of these outside lights, the white
light in the top bulb goes out and the
red blazes forth.

THE MOSQUITO MUST GO.

mosquitoes in the country in kerosene
Edwin o. F. Jordan and Walter G.
Sackett, of the University of Chicago,
who are going to make the pestiferous
little disturber hate himself to death
by painting houses and fashioning
clothing in colors which are offensive
to him. These two scholarly gentlemen
are not getting up comedy either, but
are in the serious business of finding a
way to get rid of the anopheles pune
tipennis, known in New Jersey and
Tennessee as the 'skeeter.
They have made many experiments
which lead them to the conclusion that
the mosquito hocks to certain colors in
large numbers while it almost wholly
avoids others. They find that puncti-
pennis, pere and mere, is fondest of
navy blue and likes red, scarlet and
black to a dangerous degree. 1t shows
a moderate affection also for slate gray,
dark green, violet, leaf green and blue.
A decided aversion is shown for pearl
gray, pale green, light blue, ochre and
white and the little flyer hates yellow
so cordially as not to light on it at all
Plainly, then, the proper thing for
those who want to keep the mosquito
on the other side of the street is to use
as much yellow paint and clothing as
fashion viii permit them to. Summer
comfort points the way unerringly to
yellow churches, yellow school houses,
yellow residences, yellow barns, yellow
stockings and yellow newspapers. This
would be giving anopheles punctipennis
a decidedly yellow time of it, but the
diminutive rascal is at war with hui
manity and all is fair in war.
