PROVERBS OF MEXICO.

The noise is more than the powder
the Mexican way of saying it is "hOt

When it rains, we all get wet-the
Mexican way of saying, "Misfortunes
never come singly."
The devil is not astute because he is
the devil. but because he is old-used
to express the value of experience.
When bread is cut, crumbs are left,
expressing the fact that we all have a
share in our neighbors' good fortune.
After the child is drowned, cover up

after the horse is stolen, lock the

The Buttered side.

A woman who is a close observer of
children was out walking in the coun-
try one day, she relates, when she saw
a little girl with solemn big blue eyes
sitting on a doorstep munching a huge
slice of bread and butter. The only
popularity about the operation was
that she was holding the buttered side
of the bread toward the ground.
"Why do you hold your bread and
butter that way?' asked the lady.
''Tause," whispered the little maiden
confidentially, mamma says bwead
always falls butter side down, so If
you hold it butter side down to starr
wifi and then dwop it, why, Of course
it falls butter side up"

HE LOVED THE THEATER.
Farces and Clowns Were the JOY of
George Ill. of England.

George III. of England.
Few men OF any rank or time have
ever derived so much unaffected pleas
ure from the theater as George Ill.
In fact, in the words of a contempo-
rary, it was las good as a play to hear
the royal laughter and note the genu-
inc enjoyment of his majesty" HE
is said" Thackeray wrote, mot to
have cared for Shakespeare or tragedy
much. Farces and pantomimes were
his joy, and especially when the clown
swallowed a carrot or string of sau-
Bages he would laugh so outrageously
that the lovely princess by his side
would have to say, My gracious, mon
arch, do compose yourself! And he
continued to laugh and at the very
smallest farces as long as his poor wits
were left him."
So frequent were Georges visits to
the theater that his face was the most
familiar in London to playgoers, who
took no more notice of his presence
than If he had been a simple citizen,
except when his boisterOus laughter
ers laughing out of irresistible infec-
ton" AS familiar a spectacle as that
of his majesty purple and rolling with
laughter was to see him sleeping as
peacefully as a child between the acts.
So partial was he to actors that he
permitted and even smiled at liberties
which he would have resented in any
one else. On one occasion, when Par
sons was playing in THE Siege Of Ca
lais," the actor walked toward the box
in which George was sitting and ad-
dressed him in the words of his part;
"An the king were here and did not
admire my scaffOld 1 would say: Hang
him! He has no taste,'" piece Of i'm
pudence which threw his majesty into
a fit of laughter.-LOndOn Tit-Bits.

lines, which have their wires located
usually adjacent to the tree belt, neces-
states a large amount of designation

wires to trees too frequently causes a
serious injury to them in other ways.
A tree that has been severely pruned
or disfgured by a mass of wires is
scarcely better than none Gig. u.
A considerable amount of damage Oc-

abrasions, destruction of limbs and
leaders, burnings and necessitating

The greatest amount of damage
caused to trees by alternating and di-
rect currents is by local burnings Gig.

There is practically little or no leak

the insulation is insufficient and con-
tact with the tree exists grounding

results.
No authentic cases have been Observ-
ed by us where the alternating current
employed for lighting service has killed
trees, though there are authentic cases,
extremely rare, where the direct cur

has killed large shade trees Gig. b,
This has been accomplished by revers-
ing the polarity, causing the positive
current to traverse the rail and the
return current the feed wire, which
usually carries the positive.
The high resistance offered by trees
and plants in general serves as a pro
lection against death from electrical
contact.
The physiological effect of the direc
current on vegetable life differs from
that of the alternating. The latter cur
rent acts more as a stimulus to tn,
plant than the former.

called no formal meeting, but is ex-
pected to assemble the commissioners in
short time.
There will be very little to do. Prob
ably not single change will be made,
as the present sentiment seems against
it, and the only work will be to pre-
pare a report to the city council pre-
senting the old charter with home
rule clause added.
