THE TRAGEDY OF THE
 ssOUICK LUNCH

Who can write the life tragedies that may be traced to the "bolting'' ot luncheons at "quick lunch counters?" Yet it would seem that even 'tqulck lunch'' is becoming too slow for us. Recently I saw a sign in the windows and over the door of New York res taurant. announcing "The Quicker Lunch" "The quickest lunch'' win probably soon follow. Indeed, many young business men do not take time even to go to a lunch counter. They have luncheon brought to their offices, where they talk business while they dine.
 Has life become so rapid that man cannot take time to eat? Is it possit bIe that he can allow himself only, ten minutes for luncheon; and that, even while eating, he cannot take time to smile, or to turn off the steam, but must keep the throttle valve of his thinking machine wide open planning, planning, thinking, thinking?
 We have become mad in the matter of money chasing. Not long ago heard business man say that his partner, who had recently married, took his wedding trip on an elevator in a New York siky-scraper.' 1t was the only time he felt he could take to celebrate such minor affair as his marriage.
 A man can not be normal and can not reach his best while living at such a high rate of speed. We Americans can not, under existing conditions, at tain the exquisite boise of character that mental balance and that harn,o- nious bearing which should disttn- guish a great people of a highly civil- ized race.-Success.

SWIM IN THE MID-PACIFIC.

Ocean baths while on long voy- age are something that almost any traveller would appreciate A swim i'll in the pure water of the mid-Pacifi. thousand miles from the impurity and the sewage of cities is an experi> ence that awakens the envy Of bath CTS the world over
 Such swim has been provided by the Pacific Mail Steamship company to break the teddum of voyage twice as long as that which separates Eu- rope from America. Tn the early morning when the Atlantic voyager vets himself in a tiny bathroom, his fellow traveller in the distant Pacific may be diving and floating in the clear cool water pumped to a ship board swimming pool as deep and as broad as the average swimming tanA ashore. .'
 The Pacific swimming tank is a re, cent invention. Only a few of the newest ships have been equipped with it, but it's popularity insures its ex. tension, perhaps even to the Atlantic ocean. To make this bath each morn ing the deckhands remove the blanks on the after promenade deck and dis close hanging down from the deck beams a huge canvas tank, deep enough to permit the more daring of the passengers to dive into the pool from the deckhouse above.
 Tn this pool the athletic and aquatic passengers are soon splashing and padding while every vantage point on the deck end even in the row boats hanging from the davits is taken by spectators. A donkey engine pumps water steadily into the tank.

SETTLING A MEXICAN STRIKE

Strikes are unknown in the Mexi- can mines," said Dr. Frank J. Tous- saint last night in speaking about conditions in Mexico, where he spends considerable of his time. While down on my recent trip to Huepac, Sonora, I heard of an at tempt to strike. The men, urged on by a number of agitators, formulated a protest against their hours aSld wages, and threatened to go out on a strike if their demands were not compiled with. The operators scarce ly had time to look over the de mands made by their men when word came from the Government of Mexico City to arrest the agitators immediately. Those who hailed from the States were unceremonious- ly deported and the Mexican miners who had been led by these union izers went back to their work, or, to speak more properly, they continued their work, as they had not yet quit work.
 ITO get mining claim in Mexi- co is the easiest thing in the world; all you have to do is to find some stone, tree, or other mark, then draw an imaginary line around as much Of tract as you want and then make your denouncement. This costs you $32.50. A surveyor will then be sent out and measure off as many rods as you want. He will take about S100 for his services. The plot which he prepares now goes to the capital and in due course of time you will be asked to pay tax equal to about $10 for parcel of land the size of city block This tax must be paid annually, and as long as you do this you will be con- Sidered the owner of that claim

IRISH CONTROL THE TRADE
Horseshoers of New York City Are Princippaly of That Nationality.

HorseShoers of New York City Are Princippaly of That Nationality. In the last report of the police de- pertinent, filed with the comptroller, there is given a full list of those who, during the quarter preceding, did horseshoeing for the department. Of the two dozen names given on the list, all but two are Irish, says the New York Sun.
 l While in nearly every other trade in New York city there has been so lively a competition as practically to transform it, the ancient and honor
 able calling of horseshoer remains al-
 most exclusively in strong Irish
 hands, The gow, or blacksmith, is
 an Ir1shman here, though the green
 grocer long ago gave way to the
 German corner groceryman. German barbers have been largely superseded by Italian barbers, negro bootblacks by Italians, Italian fruit
 dealers by Greeks, Irish fish peddlers
 by Russians, and Scotch by Swedish carpenters.
 There would appear to be something about the work of the horseshoer
 which is very attractive to the Irish mechanic.

A WRINKLE IN PACKING.
Big Boxes an Aid in Keeping Gowns
 Fresh While Travelfng.

Big Boxes an Aid in Keeping Gowns Fresh While Travelfng. The woman of slender means, who uses large travelling trunk perhaps once year, scarcely likes to invest in one of the expensive up to date trunks with numerous trays and com partments for the disposal of gowns. But it is a great trial to find all her carefully folded garments in unsightly wrinkles at her journeys end.
 To avoid this one clever woman re- sorts to the large flat boxes, such as tailors and large department stores use in sending out their goods. These boxes are fitted with deep covers, af- ter the style of the old fashioned ex- tension travelling cases, and come in various sizes.
 Tn these the traveller packs her gowns, folding them carefully and making sure that each case is snugly filled and closely covered. One such box fits into the bottom of the trunk. Then around and over it are disposed less perishable things, such as plain underclothing and footwear.
 Another closely packed box goes in on top of this layer and so on, alter mating the boxes of gowns with the other clothing.
 The result is that no matter how many times the trunk is turned end over end on it's Journey there is no disturbance of the contents, and hence no wrinkles when the clothes are unpacked. Moreover, as each box is labelled, there is no necessity of turning the whole trunk topsy- -tur- " in an attempt to find particular costume.
 This simple plan works especially well in the packing of children's dres- ses, which are so apt to lose their freshly laundered appearance when shaken about in a roomy trunk.

THE REINDEER IN ALASKA.
Possibility of an Increase Which will
 Create a Great Industry.

4T
 Tn 1901 Dr. Sheldon Jackson. the Alaskan agent of the Bureau of Edu- cation, brought over from Siberia the first lot of reindeer, only sixteen, and started a little colony of them on Unauaska, an island lying off the bleak coast of Alaska.
 At first the experiment. was looked on as rather a waste of time and money, but time came to the rescue, and it was clearly proved that these animals could be successfully i'm ported and taken care of, so that now our good lawmakers are appropriat- ing $25,000 annually for increasing the supply. The reindeer have taken kindly to the native moss, which forms their principal article of food and, of course, needs no outlay for cultivation. There is said to be enough of this moss In Alaska to fur nish plenty of food for 10,OOOOOO reindeer.
 At the present rate of increase even if no more are imported, there will be at least 100000 reindeer in Alas ka in less than twenty-five years. To go step further, it will not be at all surprising, in the opinion Of some, if llllS luuuSlIy SllOuiu STOW to De one of considerable commercial impor- tance to the United States, and it has even been estimated that in some thirty-five years Alaska may be in a position to sell annually half a mill lion to million reindeer carcasses, besides furnishing several thousand tons of hams and tongues.
 Each doe may be counted on to add to the herd fawn year for some ten years. They also furnish a very rich milk, which is said to make ex- cellent cheese, the quantity of milk averaging about a teacupful at a milking.
 The reliability and endurance of these animals is. remarkable, making them invaluable for transportation service. This is proved by the fact that they have now for several years been used to carry the United States mails on regular routes with the greatest success and in about half the time required for dog teams. They can also be ridden with a sad dle and travel along contentedIy with pack-load of 150 pounds.-Scientific American.

INDIAN NO HEATHEN.
In His Simple Way He Always. Wor-
 shipped a God.

Charles Gibson disputes the asser- tion that the primitive Indian is a heather. Says MT. Gibson: ''The Indians green corn dances are looked upon as wild, savage proceeding, but in reality these annual festivities are species of religion. The Indian is more serious, sober and on good behavior at "busk" than at any other time.
 "The reason for these annual festi- v1t1es is the ripening of corn, which is two-thirds of an Indians living. When he has corn in his crib he has plenty to live on. These dances were originally held at the ripening of all fruits. In fact, it was the custom to celebrate and in a simple way give thanks to the Great Spirit for grant ing the privilege of feasting upon the fruits of nature. The Indian has al- ways in simple way worshipped God.
 The square grounds wherein t.pse ceremonies are carried on are very sacred, when the customs are carried out properly. For instance, a drunk en man is not allowed inside the tu- cho, as the dance ground is called. No loud talking or boisterous person Is allowed to come within the SlouIus' AlIIueTnoTe, no woman With a clouded reputation is allowed to come into the grounds night or day The ceremonies are very solemly car ried out and no foolishness is allowed. It is also custom not to allow any four-footed animal to- come about the place, as they are looked upon as un- clean.
 "The man, woman or boy who had eaten green corn before thasa cora monies were concluded was not al- lowed to take part at the 'busk," as their taking a hand would destroy the good virtues ito be received from the Great Spirit. The person who ate green corn before the black drink was administered at the regular "buskv was considered back-slider. From the Kansas City Journal.

sunshades For Horses.

The Berlin Omnibus company, find- ing that the hats used for horses are unsuitable in the case of pairs, has in- troduced sunshades for their protection from the sun. These sunshades consist of wire framework covered with can vas and fastened to the harness. The ad- vantage claimed for this novelty is that, besides protecting the animals from the sun, it allows free current of air to pass over their heads.
