the stuffed snake up by the head and
laid it across his lap, and began to
shake the rattles, and laugh at the
groceryman and the policeman and
the crowd that had collected in front
of the store. The policeman came in

Girls with the Cab Habit.

One of the curiosities of New York
city travel ON Sunday afternoons is
the. number of young women riding in
hanson cabs. Sometimes there are two
in cab, but more often they travel
alone, and in almost every case they
are the sort of young women to whom
riding in vehicles of any kind is nov
city. Two of this type approached a
cabman last Sunday and, after trying
yainly to make Il bargain with him,
walked away with their noses high in
the air.
They're just another pair of would
bes," said the cabnlan in disgust.
They're the kind that think riding in
a hanson is the real thing, and they
save up all week to blow themselves to
ride on Sunday. They always try to
beat us down, and sometimes we let
them do it-when business is bad."-

EVILS OF "GET THERE"
The Dangers That Lurl In Our Mod
ern HustIing Methods

1t we may judge by its effects on
those who obey its command our slang
motto, Get there is not an elevating
or ENROLLING one. On the contrary, it is
brutalizing. 1t appeals to the lower
and not the higher instincts in man.
Yet this motto is quoted all over our
land. 1t is demoraliZing the law, it is
creeping into the pulpit, it speaks from
our schools. ii looks out Of The eyes of
the ambitious. it undermnes health,
and it frequently destroys all nobility
of charac o.
The old fashioned slow and sure
methods OF attaining competency are
tabooed. The man who spends hale a
lifetime in making a fortune is regard
ed as SLOW" Short cut processes, at
any cost, are the demand of the hour.
From the time boy enters school he
is goaded on by unnatural ambitions.
He is not sasALed With steady. perma-
nent growth. He must progress by
leaps and bounds. Boys and girls are
encouraged by their parents to get
ahead in their classes, even if they
must burn midnight oil and risk their
health in order to do so.
1t is pitiable to watch a typical Amer
lean going TO business in the morning.
He is not content to sit quietly and re-
lax until the train carries him to his
destination in the city Long before
that he leans forward in his seat and
makes ready to leap off while the train
is moving. With every muscle tense,
an anxious, worried expression in his
face and a nervous twitching of the
hands, clutching his cane, umbrella,
parcel or the back of the seat in front
of him, he wastes enough energy and
strength before he reaches his office to
execute the labor of half the day.
The life of the average American is
feverish, unhealthy and unnatural We
are in too great haste with everything
and consequently lack poise In the
perpetual rush to get there we are in
very great danger of losing our equilib-

NIGHT ATTACK AT SEA.
Boarding Hostile Ship From
Fleet of Small Roats


Fleet of Small Boats.
Imagine q hostile ship lying at an
Choir in an apparently secure position
on a dark and cloudy night. There are
just enough breeze and sea to make
sounds on the water indistinct Around
a low headland half mile away from
the anchored vessel steal four or five
boats, pulled with mut1led oars and fill
ed with armed men. They approach
noiselessly.
Perhaps they are not discovered and
thus reach the sides of the ship. The
next instant the armed men are pour
ing over her bulwarks, and desperate
fight takes place on her decks. Per-
haps they are discovered before they
reach the vessels side. The alarm is
given. The men in the boats hear it
and lash their oars through the water
in a determined effort to reach the ship
before the rapid fire guns can open up
on them. Flashes of fire illumine the
night. The searchlights send out shafts
the six and three Founders, the rapid
hoarse barking of Hotchkiss revolving
cannon, the vicious sputter of Cuttings,
break upon the frightened air. Give
way with a will!' shout the officers of
the boats as the men bend to the oars
and the light guns in the bows hurl
their defiant answers back at the wall
sided ship. AS the boats sweep up to
the vessels side gongs clang and rat
ties sound calling away the rihemen to
repel bcarders from the boats. If the
boats crews can board the ship and
clap down her matches before the crew
gets on deck, theirs is the victory, but
If her secondary battery is manned and
her ritiemen stationed before the boats
are alongside, then goodby to the boat
expedition. for there is nothing more
pitiless than Cuttings and revolving
cannon.-W. j. Henderson in st. Mich

THE AGING PROCESS.
A Medical Suggestion as to How Tt
May Be Arrested.

| To drink the waters of the fountain
of youth is still, in the opinion of
some, within the range of possibility.
a recent writer observes that man be-
gan in a gelatinous condition and ends
in an osseous or bony one He is soft
in infancy: he is hard in old age. Aging
is q process of ossification. After mid
| die life mas passed a more marked de-
Velopment of the osSitic character
, takes place. The arteries become thick
enea with calcareous matter, and there
is interference with circulation, upon
which nutrition depends. The whole
change from youth to old age is one of
steady accumulation of calcareous de
posts in the system. Entire blockade
of the functions of the body is a mere
matter of time, and the refuse matter
deposited by the blood throug& the sys-
TEN stops the delicate machinery we
call life. The blood contains COM
pounds of lime, magnesia and iron. In
the blood itself are these earthly salts.
In early life they are thrown off: in
! age they are not Almost everything
we eat contains these elements fos de-
shoying life. Earthly salts abound in
the cereals. and bread itself mistaken
~ called the staff of life,'' is one OF
the most calcareous of edibles. Nitrog-
enous food also contains these ele-
ments; hence diet made up of fruit is
best for people advanced in years. The
daily use of distilled water is. after
middle life, one of the most important
means of preventing secretions and de-
engagements of health. Diluted phos-
phoric acid is one of the most power
full influences known to science for
shielding the human system from the
Inconvenience of old age. Use it daily
with distilled water and so retard the
approach of senility To retain per-
petual youth. avoid all foods rich in
the earth's salts, use much fruit, espe-
cially juicy, uncooked apples, and take
daily two or three tumblerfuls Of dis
titled water with about fifteen drops
of diluted phosphoric acid in each glass
full. Thus will your days be longer in
the land.-AIedical Age.

WHAT MExICANs EAT.
Grease Plays an Important Part In
TLaia Rich Dishes.

Tf.ai, Rich Dishes.
The farther south one goes the
more important part meat seems to
play in the diet. In old Mexico the
people of the upper class have highly
seasoned roasts and steaks and game
three times every day. The roasts
are stuffed with raisins, and a rich
brown gravy is poured over them.
Grease seems more indispensable to
them than to the fur enveloped Es-
kimos. There are no broiled steaks,
but in their place one is served with
half raw piece of tenderloin reek-
ing with grease and peculiarly favored
herbs. In that balmy cline, where
the system would be so much better
off without any meats, thousands Of
steaks are sold daily at 45 and so cents
pound. The poorer classes are forced
to abstain from such and live on the
coarse frijole beans and cold clammy
tortillas, which are thin white corn
cakes made from rye hominy crushed
to pulp. This forms their UNMARRIED
diet. On the aristocrats' tables are the
A1Ool uSllClOuS IEullS, cu1ruulOVaS,
zipotes, mangoes and others which
Americans have never tasted. The
popular aguacate is a cross between
fruit and nut 1t is dark green
and the flesh is about the consistency
of ointment. 1t grows on tree of
unparalleled dark green foliage and is
used often in the place of butter or
is made into toothsome salad.
Rich soups, with bananas chopped in
them, are served every day, and vege-
tables dressed with goats cream are
on their tables. AT every meal during
the year they eat the frijole beans,
which have been dipped into brown
pottery bowl of boiling lard before
they are brought to the table. The
MeNicans eat enough lard to under
mine the digestion of the stoutest be-
Ing. Sirup is a great delicacy and
very expensive. 1t is served as a sort
of dessert in little china saucers and
is eaten from spoons. Little bits of
native candies are also served in sepa-
rate plates.-Farm and Ranch.

Grexsosne Wedding Presents.

to A. Henry Savage Lander, the we'd
