STRANGE MEXICAN LEGEND
Terrible Dcings of Rich Man Who Had the Habit of Killing
 People.

Thomas A. Jsnvier relates in liar per's magazine a number of folk legends of the city of Mexico: among them is the legend of Don Juan Man. uel. told as 1t came to him from a Mexican peasant:
 This Don Juan Manuel. senor. was a rich and worthy gentleman. xho had the bad vice of killing peo- pie. Every night st Il o'clock. when the palace clock was striking. he vent out from his magnificent house as you knov. seIor. it still is stand ing in the street that has been named after him-sll nuf3ed ia his cloak and under it his dagger ia his hand.
 Then he would meet enc in the dark street and would ask him po- iiieIy. What is the hour of night And that person. having heard the striking of the clock vouid ansxer. It is eleven hours Of the night. And Don Manuel would say to him. 'SenoT- yoH are fortunate above all men. because yOu knor precisely the hour al which rou die Then he would thrust with his dsgger-and then leaving she dead gentleman ly. ing iu the street he FO1ia come back again into his oza house And this hs1 rice ot Don Juan ManueTs of Ei1ling people went or. ss1or. for a great many years.

So many things are American" in the old world which we sof America know not. At this day. in Europe, the broad term "Americanism" is ap- piled, not to the consistent patriotism. But perhaps the most interesting American thing to the ordinary European in the American duel,'' says the New York Globe. Every little while we hear of one being fought on the continent. It consists of the consignment of one of two persons to suicide by lot. If two people have disa greed so radically that it is positively felt by both that one or the other must die, they draw lots to see which one it shall be-. That ous people should revel in fatal lot draw ing in which q black ball or slip con. demns a man to go out and kill him self. is entirely out of keeping with the national disposition. It is. mot. unfortunately. particularly out oftthe American character for one man to go gunning for another. but the thing when done is in hot blood. Let the American. as a rule, be cool enough to draw lots. and the danger of the slaughter is over.

Representative Boutell of Illinois. q member of the ways and means rom mittee, and one of the post delightful wits of the house. tells the following story as to the quality of Philippine cigars. He says he went into the store of cigar manufacturer in his district. friend of his. and asked him if he bad any Philippine cigars. Mir Boutell does not smoke. but want ed to see the grades of cigars pro duced in the islands about which there has been so much divergence of opin- ion. According to Mir Boutell, the friend laid before him his weird looking products of oriental manufac- ture' and told me their names. He said one brand he called the New Years Eve" another ''Cne Hundred Per Cent" and still another the Boomerang" Upon asking the dealer where he got those names for the cl- gars MT Boutell was told that the ci. gars came here nameless, they were orphans, and to relieve their distress ful condition. the dealer had named them himself. The New Years Eve is tho cigar sell to the man who has sworn off" said the dealer to MT Bou- tell. He smokes one of those on New Years eve and he never wants for 10 smoke another cigar as long as he lives" Upon being asked by Mr. Boutell what history the one Hun dred Per Cent" cigar concealed. thr dealer replied: T give away cigars occasionally 10 my customers. but cf course. whenever I give away a cigar I expect that the man will buy twice as much on account of the cigar I gave him. so when I give away a ci- gar I offer him the One Hundred Pr Cent. and when he has smoked f. he has to smoke two of my best cigars to take the taste of that one ont of his mouth.

SOME 'TARLEAUx WANTS.
Look We'll to the Details of This Form
 of Entertainment, for Much Depends on Them.

Tableaux vivants are very popular this season. and there may be many a delightful evening spent in this way. As to the details for this form of enter tainment. there must be large rooms with folding doors. The opening be- tween the doors should be yelled with thin black gauze stretched tightly. the foot. and overhead lights being placed behind it. The stage at the end of the room must. be elevated at least three feet. Remember that tall person is always much taller on the stage, and a girl only five feet high. if she has q good carriage. may assume goodly height on the boards. .E- 725.
 Be sure to choose the color of the lights with discretion and see how the effect on the subject is before displaying the scene. There are many modern sketches that may be adopted to tableaux and there are the old-time fav. orites that always please. such as The Courtship of Miles Standish," Tenny- sons Dream of Fair Women "The Four Seasons Taking the Veil" Rock of Ages" "Desdemona and the Moor" "The Nine Muses,' and living pictures from the Gibson drawings are always effective
 A Tableaux Vivant club might be or galized and an entertainment given once month for the benefit of some spe- cial charity. Serve light refreshments such as coffee and sandwiches, ice cream or an ice with small cakes. or simply a frappe where all could help themselves to it during the evening.

Daring Voyages in Crude Boats Cost Many Lives Crossing the
 Behring Sea.

Long before Peter the Great had sent vitus Bering to America, in lI4l. Russian voyagers had launched out east and north with a daredevil reck- lessness that would have done honor to prehistoric man. That part of their adventures is a record that exceeds the widest darings of fiction, says a writer in Harper's Magazine. Their boats were called kotches. They were some 50 feet long, fat-bottomed. planked with green timber. Not nail was used. Where were nails to come from 5000 miles across the frozen tundras? Indeed, iron was so scarce that at later day, when ships with nails ventured on these seas, natives were detected diving below 10 pull the nails from the timbers with their teeth. Instead of. nails the Cossacks used reindeer thongs 10 bind the plank ing together. Insteai of tar. moss and clay and the tallow of sea animals caiked the seams. Needless to say, there was neither canvas nor rope. Reindeer thongs supplied the cordage, reindeer hides the sails. On such rick ety craft. with the help of God and little powder. the Russian voysgers hoisted sail and put to sea. On just such vessels did Deshneff and Staduch- in attempt 10 round Asia from the Arctic into Behring sea t1647-50.
 To be sure. the first bang of the ice foes against the prov of the rickety boats knocked them into kindling wood. TWo-thirds of the Cossack voy- agers were lost every year; and often all news that came of the crew was a mast pole washed in by the tide with a dead man Issned to the crSss-trees. Small store of fresh water could be carried. Pine needles were ths only sntidote for scuryy. and many a time the boat came tumbling back in the home port not man well enough to stand before the mast

FRIDAY, FEB 2. 1906.

Old New York friends of Richard Croker. it is said, were delighted by the news received from Ireland that Mir Croker had refused the honor, o. becoming a member of parliament and had announced his intention to remain an American citizen. Aecor. ding to private information, Mir. Gro, ker was asked by a constituency in one of the Irish districts to stand as a home rule candidate at the recent election. The district was one ill which his election would have been certain. Mir Croker refused the offer though he expressed the greatest sympathy with the home rule cause.
