INDIAN PACK CARRIERS.
Roads So bad In Southern Mexico
That Even Mules Cannot He
Used Upon Them.

A striking feature of these roads is
the number of human beasts of bur-
den" you meet. The roads are so
bad that there is very considerable
risk in conveying goods of any kind
risk both to the goods and the pack
mule that carries them; consequent
ly large numbers of Indians make q
living by carrying, says Chambers
Journal. The Mexican Indian carries
his load on his back, slung by broad
leather belt across the forehead.
Thus all his limbs are perfectly
free. and he carries a long light stick,
like an alpenstock to steady himself
in going down steep places or in cross
ing streams. These men will in good
weather carry load of from 100 to
$50 pounds, over the worst of roads,
for distance of 20 to rs miles a day.
They wear no clothing except a
pair OF cotton breeches rolled half
way up the thighs, and pair of leath-
er sandals on the feet; and each man
carries blanket to roll himself up
in at night. They eat no meat. their
only food being posol (boiled maize
ground and mixed it'll sugar, then
rolled into ball and carried moist).
This they break into bowl of water.
mix well to the consistency of thin
Cruel, and drink; and their only food
consists of this posol and tortilIas.
The power of endurance displayed by
these carriers IL wonderful.

Clean Chimneys.

The tendency Of pipes and furnace
flucs to fill with SCOT at this season
OF the year is so marked that any
suggestion OF convenient remedy
for that condition is worthy of SER
ious consideration. A correspond
ent to the ST. Paul Pioneer Press
says that zinc burned in the furnace
is very effective. Just throw upon
the fire handful zinc filings, or a
piece Of sheet zinc as large as your
hand, and it clears away the SCOT as
II by magic. Once week will suf-
fee. Shut the door quickly after
throwing in the zinc. Our inform
ant says his family has used this
method for forty years, and never
had occasion to employ a chimney
sweep.
This remedy is not expensive. A
WORKOUT zinc washboard will fur
nish enough Of the metal for six or
eight occasions. And IL you have
to buy sheet zinc, 25 cents worth
may suffice for q single fire all win
ter. Even when soft coal is used in
hard coal stoves and furnaces the
zinc will keep them open, SO that
those who have been unable to Sc
cure anthracite will not be seriously
Inconvenience by the change.
