MExcAfi CHILDREN POLITE.
They Rival the Japanese with Regard to Manners--Elders Always
 Respected.

Tn Mexico group of lads from to F will meet, and each boy will decorously lift his hat, and salutations of extreme courtesy will be exchanged, and then come the boyish chatter, the run and the laughter, the same as anywhere. Boys here treat their elders with respect An old man or woman is not the butt of the youth of Mexico; rather for the old peo- pie are reserved the shadiest seats under the trees in the park, says writer in Rural Home. A Mexican boy or girl on entering room walks around among the company, shaking hands with all and on leaving the room does the same Urbanity is taught in the public schools as arithmetic is at home. There is nc one jostIed on the street; the best seat in the horse car is promptly given up to ladies, who never tail gracefully to ac- knowledge the favor. have never seen a Mexican gentleman fail togiye his seal to a woman, whether she was richly or poorly dressed.

TOBACCO DRINKING HABIT.
Snuff Manufactures Tells of the Use of the Weed as Beverage
 Years Ago.

Tobacco drinking Is not one of the bad habits of to-day. said snuff manN- facturer, "but several hundred years ago 1t was pretty prevalent custom. A poet took occasion in 1642 to attack it. He wrote:
 ITO quaffe, raore, sweare, and drink to-
 bacco well,
 Is fit for such as pledge sick healths in
 hell.
 John Swan was the name Of this poet, and the place where found this couplet against tobacco drinking was in a book of his, a book which attacked all the vices of the age.
 'Till read Swans work, was un- aware that man had ever drunk tobacco. It seems that they powdered np the herb, those old-timers, mixed half teaspoon fuI of it with whisky glass of hot water, and tossed off this red-brown fluid as you or would toss off lemonade.
 .The effect of tobacco drinking was like the effect of smoking. It soothed and calmed the nerves, producing a pleasant feeling Of contsntment It did not appear to be particularly harmful Many tobacco thinker lived to a green old age.

WORK or THE LIFE SAVERS
$16o, 10000 in Property and 90,o00 Lives Saved on This Coast Line.

$18o. .00O, GOO in Property and 90,000
 Lives Saved on This Coast Line.
 The United States government tx bends $2,OoO,OO0 year for the main tenance of its 235 life saving stations 200 on the shores of the Atlantic coast 20 on the Pacific, 10 on the Gulf of Mexico and along the great lakes chain. The work systematical- ly begun in 1871 in New Jersey, the coast of which, sandy and with few bays, offers many dangers to4navigat- ors, has been extended so that it now practically covers the chief danger points of the whole coast line of the country, more than 10000 miles in ex- tent and longer than the coast line of any other country.
 Eight hundred persons are employ ed in the life saving stations. Their work counts most, of course, in win- ter time, except on the northern lakes where travel is suspended in winter and the periIs to navigation are great est in the summer.
 Since the establishment under go- ePnment control of the life saving ser vice of the United States, the number of wrecks at points within signalling IlSL LduCC Ol l1G eSONCAAA4CAb 0CdtAOhS has been 14,oO0 and the number of persons saved or helped to safety by the life savers has been $90,000. The number of persons lost during tue same period on wrecks of which no- tice to life saving station could be given has been 1000.
 It is believed that the total prop erty in ships and cargoes saved dur ing this period by the government en- pIoyes amounted to 60,OO0, GOO. There are about 78O wrecks year on the coasts of the United States that is. at about the rate of about two day. By use of life lines, non-cap- sizable boats, ocean rafts and other like appliances the means Of safety to passengers has been largely increased, and it is rather curious proof of their efficiency that the loss of life on Ateamboats CT interior rivers is more than twenty times greater in 8 year from wrecks at sea along the coast line.

WHERE AND WHEN TO
 FISH IN MIDSUMMER

When the SolStice months send the black bass. the trout and the land- locked salmon to the deep waters of the lakes, the fly fisherman who does not care d fig flor catching a fish ull- less he can entice 1t by his skill of al luFement to the surface-a feat inns possible of performance on waters of great depths except in the case of the cisco of few small lakes in the northwest-the devotee of the feath- cred lure turns perforce to the black bass rivers or the trout brooks of the mountains or the meadows, and 1t is then that the fly fisherman gets the greatest enjoyment of an outing.
 It is true, however, that if the hot test of July and August days the ex- perienced and patient feather caster, if he has closely observed tfhe habits of the black bass, Will find these fish hustling in the gloan1ing for food on the shoal rock ledges of the lakes, particularly in the twilight hours. But with the glare of the sun on the sur face of deep and still water, with the direct and reflected rays as strong as those thrown upon or defected from a mirror. it would be an idle hour to use or even joint fly rod. And the same conditions exist on deep lakes containing red-spotted trout, which may be found in such waters, when the evening shadows fall, in the little bays Or along the grassy shores.
 It may perhaps not be generally known that many fish feed during the night, both salt and fresh water spec i0s. The back bass in running water are greedy hustlers at night and seem to be less critical in their choice of food. as it comes to them on the sur face, than at any other time. They have been known to take n black hackle fly in the darkest hours of the night and a white miller from the silvery foam of a dam or fall In fact, they will rise to any lure in the like ness or action of "a drowning and struggling insect. The same Is true Of our spotted Eastern trout that rise most freely to the feathers in the sum light and continue feeding, like the black bass all through the night at least those do so who do not, ap- parently, feed during the day. It is belief among many anglers that fish like humans. have their regular hours for feeding and repose; it is well known tha6 at times no lure will en- tice them. although frequent casting and tempting with an attractive bunch of feathers will cause trout to rise lazily and take in the artificial fly with the tail of a partly digested min- now protrudfng from its mouth. But not so the black bass, which, when surfeited. cannot be induced to bite although at times when in playful mood they have been seen to take the live minnow bait repeatedly in thei1' mouths and then blow it, as it were, out again. much in the same manner as pussy purrs and plays with capt ared mouse. - Illustrated Sporting News.

TEST FOR TREATMENTS EYES.

Tests for defective eyesight on all members of railroad train crews are much more severe and frequent thaa they were a few years ago" remarked a prominent railway official few days ago. The reasons for these tests are obvious. as the safety of every moving train depends mainly upon the clear ness of vision of the men having it in charge. In these tests color blindness causes the most trouble, and is a con- stallt menace to all trainmen, as the inability to name correctly the differ ent colors at a glance is followed by instant dismissal from the service.
 "A peculiar case was brought to light recently when a conductor on my road was being put through the test. He had been running a passenger train several years, and never met with an accident. and was deemed one of the best men on the road When the different colors were placed before him singly he called them correctly at a glance. but when two or more colors were presented he was wholly unable to tell one from another. We were sorry for him, but of course were forced ito let him go.
 "Physicians seem to be unable to discover to Just what cause this aff1ic- ton is due They claim that some persons are born with it, while it comes upon others without warning at any time of life. and unless put to the test the victim will never know that he is so afflicted. ."-From the Colum bus PresS-Post.

USED ONE PEN 14 YEARS.

The constant use Of a pen point for fourteen years, penknife eighteen years. an ordinary indelible lead pen cil five years and key ring nineteen years to the ordinary person sounds increditable. but such is the case with Caa Burba clerk in the general GUS toms office here.
 MT. Burba, who was in the drug business at New Hope for more tha ten years, is now using constantly pen point he secured, second hand while in the drug business and since he has been at work for Uncle Sam he has continued to use it, preferring it to any other. During that time he has worn out two penholders, but the point is still in the prime of condition, kept so by the care bestowed upon 1t by its owner.
 A fellow clerk was discussing the matter of care of pens yesterday when Mir Burba remarked that any pen or article of any kind, would last for years, If given the proper care. To prove this claim he drew from his pocket knife which he had carried eighteen years. The blades gave evil idence of numerous whettings, but not a gap or break could be seen. This knife Mr. BuTpa said, had done Hull share of work since he had owned it, and is good for many years yet. :,
 After exhibiting the knife Mir Burba drew forth a key ring bearing the date of 1885. 1t is souvenir of the Louis vile exposition was purchased as such by MT Burba during the festal occa- sion, and has since done constant ser vice. Mir Burba has special pocket for all these articles, and they may al ways be found there. He says he never breaks the point from a pencil, never loans 1t but that he watches it closely, and sees to it that it does not get away; never leaves the pencil, key ring or knife lying on his desk, but re- places them in their respective pockets when not in use, and by such inyiolate system and care he always has them about him.-Louisville Courier Journal

German War on auarks.

The German police have begun sys- quack medicines. They estimate that in ten years the population has fn- creased 5S per cent, regular medical men, 76 per cent, and quacks, 1,5sy per cent There are more women puasks than men. Nearly 30 per cent of the men cited to appear at the police bu- reau have been in jail; of the women, IS per cent. More than loo samples oa quack medicines were analysed by the police, and over 80 per cent. were of absolutely no medicinal value.

strength. Failing to secure either of the necessary conditions to defeat Tag gart, the opposition acquiesced, and the proceedings of the committee were brief and harmonious.
 The contest for the other officers created only slight diversion and diff ferences regaPdiNg them, which were somewhat spirited for few dave past, were easily adjusted.
 The ticket elected was as fellowss Thomas Taggagt Of Indiana, chairman; Urey Woodson of Kentucky, secretary; Edward Sefton of Washington, assist ant secretary; John I. Martin of Mis- souri, sergeant at arms; Samuel Denel- son of Tennessee, assistant sergeant at arms.
 The most important action of the committee, aside from the selection of a chairman, was that of arranging for & committee, or committees, tO manage the campaign. A proposition submitted by William F. Sheehan, slightly nodi- fled upon the suggestion of Senator Bailey, was adopted. As agreed te it is as follows:
 "That the chair be authorized to ap- point, not to exceed two, vice chairmen as his judgment may determine; that the chair be authorized to appoint an executive committee of not less than five nor more than seven members"
 Under this resolution Chairman Tag gart win select campaign managers 1t is taken for granted that he will be the chairman Of the executive commit tee, as that custom is always followed. Among those mentioned we're William E. Sheehan of New York, Arthur F. German Of Maryland, August Belmont or New York, David B. Hill of New York, James M. Guffey of Pennsylva- mia, John T. McGraw of West Virginia, William H. Martin or Arkansas, John F. Hopkins or James Fl. Eckles of Uli- nois, Bradley B. Smalley Of Vermont, George A Gaston Of Massachusetts, James Smith, IT,, of New Jersey, T. F. Ryan of Virginia, Governor Chamber lain of Oregon, Charles s. Thomas Of Colorado and Fred T. Dubois of idaho.
 The plans of Chairman Taggart for the next few days include the trip to Esepus today, returning to New York in the evening. He expects to spend Thursday in the city consulting with a number of prominent Democrats re- garding the composition of the commit tees he is authorized to appoint. Thurs day evening or Friday he will leave for Indiana, but will return almost inme- diately, announce the committees, es- tabIish headquarters and enter upon active campaign work.

HEADQUARTERS CHOSEN.
Active Work of Democrat Party Will.
 be Entered Upon at Once.

NEW YORK, July 27.-Thomas Tag gart of Indiana has been elected chair man of the Democratic national com mittee, and expectations were fulfilled. Indorsed by nearly every member of the committee the day after the con vention adjourned at St. Louis, it has been known ever since that only the decree of Judge Parker iu favor of some other man, or the consent of Sem ator Gorman to accept the place, could prevent the selection of MT. Taggart Neither of these contingencies arose, and the Indiana man was unanimously chosen to 6 place for which he long has had aspirations.
 Although the vote was unanimous, it was not until after it was actually in progress that opposition to Mir. Tag gart's selection was withdrawn Be ginning with the return of Senator German, former Senator Hili, former Senator Jones and other Democratic leaders last evening and lasting up to the moment when the committees was called to order, the strongest pos sible effort was made to bring Senator German into the field or to arrange a combination that would place some one besides Taggart at the head of the committee Almost continuous conferences were held, int1mations Of great financial advantages to the party were made, and many expedients were suggested, even to delaying the election until after the connnittee's vis- it to Judge Parker, in order to defeat Taggart. But nothing could change the determination Of his friends to force an election and, if the opposition had any reality, to compel d show of
