:NSULTED TWO MExlcANS.
An American Accidentally Brushed Against Them and Affair Nearly
 Ended in Duel.

A well known member of the Ameri- can colony boarded a crowded car one day last week and in the jam happened to brush against two Mexican gentle men, we'll dressed and of distinguished appearance. One of them, after few tense words with his friend, turned to the .AmericaI gentleman and com menced expostulating with him, says the Mexican Herald. The American, not understanding Spanish well. thought nothing particular, of the incl dent until the two men got off the car when he did and continued to address him as before. Callingaa friend who was passing he asked him to act as interpreter. Then he discovered that the two men, thought he had insulted them by brushing against them and they asked for satisfaction The Amer ican got mad He told the two gentle men that he would meet them, one after the other, at any place, with any weapon. and would give them all the satisfaction that they could possibly want. With that the American hand : ed them his card. They glanced at the name on theocard, then took off their hats, bowed low and begged the Amer fcano's pardon, saying that they were mistaken, for the Americana was Q gentleman and would not insult them under any circumstances.

"EelIo" Girls Get Bald.

A large proportion of telephone girls employed by the big companies in New York give up their places rather than incur the risk of becoming partly bald. This effect of the steel band or hood which telephone operators wear over their head is plainly noticeable in the case of those who have scai1ty hair. On boys who act as telephone operators it is even more noticeable than with girls. One boy who operates a switchboard is almost entirely bald in band running from one side of his head to another. He has been at the telephone switch board for two years and now wears a cushion underneath the steel hood to protect his head from the pressure.

 The highwayman turned and walked south.
 Then Emmert began to run his hands through his hair. His friends in Iowa would have known that was thinking. He examined the footprints in the snow. and he chuckled as he murmured to him. self: j,.
 Mails on one side and none on the other"
 He started south. Every ten steps he stopped and looked at the white cov- ering. He caught his man at Harrison street. His clinched fist descended and the highwayman fell like log. He was still dazed when he rolled over and gazed at his late victim.

 Many things were floating within the circle of the highwayman's vision, but he knew the exact location of the watch, and he produced it.
 When a man catches thief he gets reward, don't he?" demanded the farm CT from Iowa. s.
 "He do Y" replied the highwayman, and he gave his weapon to Emmert.

Have a Long History.

The people of Korea are neither Jap anese nor Chinese. They are Mongolian and have polysyllabic language, with a phonetic alphabet. They have re- corded history, of disputed authenticity, which claims for them continuous ex- istence as a Korean people of about 5000 years, the earlier part of which, or course, is shrouded in the mists of tra- dttiun and fable.
