A BRIDGE OF MAHOGANY.
Valuable Wood Used In Mexican struo,
ture for Pedestrians and Teams.

AS mahogany is among the most
costly woods in the world, it may be
inferred that this tropical material
is not very extensively employed in
the construction of buildings, etc. A
bridge constructed of solid mahogany
is certainly a rarity, a curiosity.
There is one, claimed to be the only
one in the world, built of that mate
rial. This structure is located in the
department of Palenque, state of Chi
apas, republic Of Mexico. This dis.
trict lies in the extreme southwestern
part of Mexico, near the boundary line
of Guatemala.
The mahogany bridge is construct
ed entirely of that valuable wood,
except some iron braces and nails that
are necessary. The bridge spans the
Rio Michol and its total length, in
Guiding approaches, exceeds $50 feet,
while the width is Is feet. 1t is used
by both teams and pedestrians and,
though somewhat rude and primitive
in construction, 1t is very substantial
None of the timbers of the flooring
were sawed, for in that region there
are no sawmills, but were hewn and
split
In that section Of old Mexico there
are several very large rubber planta,
tions, and mahogany trees are quite
common. In clearing away the trop-
ical forests for setting out the young
rubber trees the mahogany growths
are also cut down and removed. AS
this wood is quite abundant, some Of
it was used in building the bridge

NEW YEARS CALLS.
A New Drink 20 Replace the oId!TinO
"Apple-Jaek."

Twenty-Five years ago the custom OF
making New Years calls was a de.
ughtful one for all concerned, until
some of the boys got more "egg-nog'
or "apple-jack" than they could sue
cessfully carry.
Then the ladies tried to be charit-
able and the gentlemen tried to be
as chivalrous as ever and stand UP at
the same time.
If anyone thinks there has not been
considerable Improvement made in the
last quarter OF century In the use
Of alcoohlic beverages, let him stop
70 consider, among other things, the
fact that the old custom Of New Years
calls and the genteel tippling Is nearly
obsolete.
The custom Of calling on ones
friends, however. at the beginning OF
the new year, is good habit, and an
other good habit to start at that time
ia the use OF well.made Postum In
stead Of coffee or spirits.
A Staten Island doctor has a sen
aible daughter who has set Postum
before her guests as good thing e
drink at Yule Tide. and a good way
to begin the New Year. Her father
writes:

Postum for some time past, and We

and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1s43 she married Isaac Pinkham,
q builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and a
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days It
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in a physician only in specially
urgent cases. BY tradition and ex-
perience many of them gained a won
critics Of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature so
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; so, if we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies ex-
pressly designed to cure the various
Ills anu WCdhuCbbCb VI JlC anu
it was her pleasure to search these out,
and prepare simple and effective medi-
cines for her own family and friends.
Chief of these was q rare combina.
ton of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu.
liar to the female sex, and Lydia E. Pink
hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this so far was done freely, with
out money and without price, as q
labor of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were toe
much Tor the large real estate interests
OF the Pinkham family, as this class
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, so when the Centen
NAL year dawned it found their prop
erty swept away. Some other sourc'
of income had to be found.
At this point Lydia E. Pinkhamt

These pills cleanse the stomach and

Low WAGES in RUSSIA.
Farm Laborers Get Little Above q
Bare Subsistence.

The extreme poverty and the low
standard of living of peasants from
whom the Russian agricultural labor
ers are recruited assure low level of
wages for agricultural labor. The av-
erage wages will appear almost In
credibly low from an American point
of view, Notwithstanding the general
complaints of the estate holders con-
corning the unreasonable demands Of
the laborers.
According TO an ofiicial investigation
embracing the decade OF 18S2-1S91, the
average annual wages for male agri-
cultural worker in Russia were less
than sS2 and for female worker less
than $18 To this must be added the
cost Of subsistence, which is equally
low, being on an average S24 for a
male and $22 for female worker for
a whole year; so that the average
cost of employing a laborer for the
entire year is equal to only $55 for
the male and $40 for the female.
The wages for the summer season
of five months are almost equal TO
the annual wages, being $22 for the
male and s1S for the female laborer.

Uses Of Masks.

Among the North American Indians
the origin Of the use of masks lay"
says a writer, Gin the desire to con-
ceal the emotions. Thus should two
warriors meet in combat, the mask
conceals any expression, whether of
sympathy, fear or other emotion. For
instance, the knowledge that fear was
depicted on ones face and that his an
tagonist knew it would very possibly
insure the defeat of the one whose
feelings were betrayed to the other"
