HOLIDAYS IN MEXICO.
They Are Numerous, but Are Not AL
Xii lss3 u Local CeIabrat tons. wv -

They Are Numerous, but Are Not All
Local Celebrations.
E The visitor In Mexico is apt to be
surprised at the number Of holidays
celebrated here and made the occasion
Of rejoicing, with accompanying music
and decoration, and is likely to think
that the Mexican does nothing but
celebrate.
With his religious and national feast
days, the Mexican does have many
holidays of more or less general I'M
portance, and when he Is not celebrat-
ing these he may be celebrating the
day of his patron saint or Of that of
some member of his family, so that it
seems to require little .inducement for
him to celebrate. If member Of the
family goes out Of town for few
days or weeks, his return IS celebrat-
ed in some mild way and his welcome
home made pleasant.
But not all of the celebrations which
take place in the capital are Mexican,
as the foreign colonies contribute their
share Of feast days. The Americans
celebrate their day Of Independence on
the glorious Fourth Of July, and ten
days later the French celebrate the
fall of the Bastille, and SO 1t goes, the
British celebrating the birthday Of
their king, the Italians the entry into
Rome of the troops Of united Italy, the
Germans the birthday Of the kaiser,
the Swiss the day of the formation Of
the confederation. The Spanish cele-
brate the birthday of their king, and
in September their feast of Corvodon-
ga is important enough to last three
days. No doubt there are other cele-
brations not so public or prominent,
such as the Chinese New Year and
others, but the above goes to show
that not all the feasting in the capital
Is done by natives. An interesting
point, however, is that foreigners who
come to Mexico are soon the keenest
for the coming Of the various holidays,
and Mexican, religious or their own
are jealousy demanded as leisure days
from all houses Of business or COM
merce.-Modern Mexico.

THE HUMAN BRAIN.
Its Capacity to Receive the Impress
sions of a Lifetime.

capacity Receive tAe Impress
sions Of a Lifetime.
Authorities differ as to the capacity
Of the average brain to receive the i'm
pressions of lifetime. 1t is pretty
we'll believed that there is in the brain
center of conservation distinct from
the center Of perception. We of course
know nothing as to the nature of the
relation of brain cells to precepts and
conservation, but we do know that
there must be q relation. The re-
searches Of HamInerberg and Thomson
show that the number Of cells in the
brain is 9,200,OO0O00. All stimuli, ex-
ternal Through the five senses) or in
ternal Through processes), must leave
some trace upon these cells, chemical,
physical or dynamic These stimuli
are composed Of all sorts of precepts-
words and sounds heard; things and
words seen; objects felt, tasted. smell
ed; sensations. perceived in our own
bodies; thoughts pushing upward into
consciousness And little reflection
will show how lnnumerable such i'm
prints must be in the course of 4 single
waking day.
Even without reading, the resident OF
city must receive an incalculable
number of impressions upon his brain
every twenty-four hours. The reading
center of the brain occupies compare
lively small area in the back of the left
hemisphere and consequently must pos
sess very small portion of the 9000,-
100000 cells referred to above We can
only guess at the number, but a fair cs-
innate would be about twentieth. or,
say, 50O.O00,O0O. which in lifetime of
sixty years would allow us about 25,-
600 cells a day for the perception and
conservation Of words and sentences
read. These figures may have no
scientific value but at any rate they
emphasize a very important fact, and
that is that our brain capacity is limit
ed and that we should be sparing OF
the cells we daily squander.-Dr. Fred
er;ck Peterson in Golfers.

AN uNFiNGE v KING.

The Lion LIS q Low, Crafty Brute and
Good Deal OF q Coward.
The ''king OF beasts" declares a writ
or upon the lions Of Africa IN the Met
ropolitan Magazine, is an unmitigated
nuisance. The stock owner loathss him
for the havoc he causes among the J
herds. There is no security against
him. He is always travelling. A pair
Of lions may find a spot where game is
easily obtainable and make q consid-
cradle stay there, but their real home
IS the whole weld. -, 55
II the lion slew only as much as he
could eat he would be less hateful, but
he will often kill four or i've oxen and
content himself with devouring only
the entrails of one. = ~ ssE 'as .s.l.s55{
He is low, crafty brute, one that
takes no risks, for, unlike the leopard
he will never leap a wall unless he can
see what is on the other side. A paper
fence would keep him away from a
herd Of cattle, provided they did not
break out through terror Of his growt-
ing and his smell. .-~*. ~
The lions roar is the subject Of an
other fiction. Not that he is incapable
Of making the most terrible, awe in
spring sound emitted by any living
thing, but because when he is roaring
he is harmless 1t is the lion which
keeps quiet that is to be feared, for as
rule the male and female work in
couples, and the one that makes the
noise is merely driving the game down
the wind to the silent partner. ~ - ~
In a single respect only-on the score
Of strength-does the lion deserve his
name of liking of beasts He can
drag large bullock over rough ground
with the greatest ease; he can carry a
mule on his back, after hosting it there
by some strange sideways jerk of his
head; he can leap a five foot fence with
a full sized donkey gripped in his
mouth. Otherwise, speaking from a
seven years experience in the lion
scribing the king Of beasts as a fraud,
at least so far as his alleged nobility
is concerned.
His regal attributes lose some of
their glamour when one learns that the
SO called monarch frequently lives fol
days at time on such plebeian food
as field rats, and the vision of the
kingly creature sitting patiently on q
fiat rock waiting for the rats to come
out from underneath is a rather un
heroic one

His Sense OF Humor and His Un0sten-
" tattous Charity. s l..
Many joke is credited to Thaddeus
Stevens, who led the Republicans in
congress during the civil war and the
troublous times after. a.
One Of the very keenest Of his jests,
which is undoubtedly authentic, is SO
commonplace in sound that one might
easily be forgiven for falling to take
in its meaning. In his last days David
Reese and John Chauncey, two en-
ployees Of the house Of representatives,
used to carry him in large armchair
from his lodgings across the public
grounds, up the broad stairs of the
capitol
"Who," he said to them one day, twill
be so good to me and bear me in their
strong arms when you two mighty men
are gomez"
Such question implied nothing short
Of a sense of intellectual Immortality.
When he had taken to his bed for the
last time visitor told him he was look
ing WELL
"Oh, john" was the quick reply, ut
is not my appearance, but my disap-
pearance, that troubles mev'%
One day member Of the house of
representatives, who was noted for his
uncertain course on all questions and
who confessed that he never Investigate
ed a point under discussion without
finding himself a nentral, asked for
leave Of absence.
"Mr. Speaker" said Stevens, Il dc
not rise to object, but to suggest tina.
the honorable member need not ask
this favor, for he can easily pair of
with himself!'
One anecdote always remembered in
connection with Stevens illustrates his
transformations charity. A beggar wo
man met him one morning as he was
| limping to the house.
"Oh, sir" she said, II have just lost
all the money l had in the world"'
"And how much was that?"
ooh, sir, it was Is cents"
"You don't say sou he replied, put
ting five dollar bill in her hand. cane

Of any enterprise that is human. 1t
is q stupendous work upon which our
fellow countrymen are engaged down

should hold them to a strict accounta-

frank generosity, the epic nature Of
the task on which they are engaged
and Its world wide Importance. They
are doing something which will re-
dound UNNECESSARILY to the credit Of
America, which will benefit all the
world and which will last for ages to
come. Under Mr.. Shonts and Mr..
Stevens and DR.. Gorgas this work has
started with every omen of good for

greatest conquests, whether Of peace
or Of war, which have ever been won

badge is to be given to every Amer

q soldier to have belonged to a mighty
army in great, war for righteous

safe to say that the average person

two reasons for this. First woman nat

Second, if she develops this disease she

to- the fact that, though both started
