MORE PULoUE BEING DRUNK.
Mexico City Gets Away With 300, 900
Litres Every Day.

The consumption of pulque in Mex.
leo city is rapidly increasing, and
the hauling of the drink is becoming
one of the principal sources of rev
enue on a number of lines entering
the city.
On nearly every railroad entering
the city a special pulque train is run
into the city daily and many of the
regular freight trains carry large
numbers of cars containing the popu.
lar drink.
During the month Of June three
railroads, the Hildago, the Mexican
and the Interoceanic, carried into the
city 59,S61 barrels and 1874 skins full
of the pulque gathered within a radius
of sixty miles of the city. The Ma
tional, the Central and the smaller
lines brought in an amount probably
half as great.
Allowing that the population oil
Mexico city is 10000 men, women
and children, the quantity Of pulque
brought into the city daily is suf
ficient to supply almost two liters tt
every individual. Do you drink you
share? During the month of June IA,
9S5.290 liters of pulque were brought
into the city, as in mi barrel there
are $50 liters and in one skin 60 liters
During each day of the month an av
erage Of 748,263 liters was brought tt
the city.
The amount thus reckoned is ex
elusive of the pulque brought to thu
city in wagons and on muleback from
the nearby haciendas.

and monsieur came up to them. found.
cred through and sprang slantwise
up the father bank.
The delay had been enough to bring
me, with no good will of my own,
close up to the Cocheforets. Mademoi-
selle's horse made a little business of
the place; this delayed them still
longer and in the result we neared
the water almost together n l
crossed close on her heels. The bank
on either side was steep; while cross
ing we could see neither before nor
behind. At the moment, however, /
thought nothing Of this, mol of her
delay and l was following her quite
at my leisure, when the sudden report
Of a carbine, a second report and a
yell of alarm in front, thrilled me
through.
On the instant, while the sound
was still in my ears, l saw 1t all. Like
a hot iron piercing my brain, the truth
flashed into my mind. We were at
tackled! We were attacked, and I was
here helpless in this pit, this trap!
The loss of a second while / fumbled
here, mademoiselle's horse barring the
way might be fatal.
There was but one way. | turned my
horse straight at the steep bank and
he breasted it. One moment he hung
as If he must fall back. Then, with
a snort of terror and a desperate bound
he topped it and gained the level,
trembling and snorting.
1t was as I had guessed. Seventy
PAGES away on the road lay one of my
men. He had fallen, horse and man
and lay still. Near him, with his back
against a bank, stood his fellow, on
foot, pressed by four horsemen and
shouting. As my eye lighted on the
scene, he let fly with a carbine and
dropped one.
1 snatched a pistol from my holster,
cooked it, and seized my horse by the
head might save the man yet. ]
shouted to encourage him and in an
other second should have charged into
the fight, when a sudden vicious blow,
swift and unexpected, struck the pistol
from my hand.
1 made a snatch at it as it fell, but
missed it; and before l could recover
myself, mademoisel1e thrust her horse
%furiously against mine and with hel
riding-whip, dashed the sorrel across
the ears. As my horse reared madly
up I had a glimpse of her eyes flash
ing hate through her mask; of hel
hand again uplifted; the next moment
I was down in the road, ingloriously
endorsed, the sorrel was gallopins
away, and her horse, scared in Its
turn, was plunging unmanageably {
score of PAGES from me.
I don't doubt that but for that sh'
would have trampled on me. AS i
was, I was free to draw; and in {
twinkling l was running towards thu
fighters. All I / have described had hap
pened in a few seconds. My man wa.

Girls. a tiny diamond flashing Xix,

Girls, a tiny diamond flashing like
a dewdrcp in the sun, or a single lus-
trous pearl, or green emerald holding
the tints of the deep sea in its fash
ing heart, is worth a CARLOAD of rhine
stones. A very little bit of gold is
worth more than a yard of gold leaf.
What you win by resolute effort is
yours forever. You have not only
gained a certain amount of knowledge,
you have not only mastered a certain
theory, or found out how to state
a certain proposition, but you have
mastered yourself, you have made
your mind obey you, and you have
become the reader to undertake the
next thing that dares to battle you.
I wouldn't, If l were Dorothy, say
quite SO broadly that I despised what
l did not understand. There is many
a mystery that unfolds itself to us
in strange beauty, once we have pene-
trated beyond its gates. There are
numbers of things that never reveal
to us their secrets simply because we
haven't learned their alphabet.
l cannot believe that any school
girl of to-day would unwillingly en-.
dure to be classed among the lazy and
the needless and the trivial souls, who
never see an inch of the way before
them. In your last vacation, when
you went to the mountains, you start
ed one morning on a long jaunt. You
walked and climbed and toiled up a
steep and brier-haunted path, scram-
bling here, slipping there, now fall.
ing back, now advancing, but always
getting a little higher up. After
awhile you reached a place far up
the mountainside, where there was a
grassy plane and there you stopped to
rest. You were paid for all your
trouble by the magnificent prospect
that lay before you. 1t is always
worth while to climb, girls, and there
is never disappointment when you
have reached the heights, but some
times there is hard work before you
get there. Usually you will find all
through life that she is best paid who
works hardest at what she does not
so very much enjoy for the moment
The time for enjoyment comes when
one has gained the victory.

GOOD AND HARD,

of bilious collie, coming on every few
weeks and almost ending my life. At
every attack for 8 years l suffered in
this way. l used to pray for death to
relieve me from my suffering. l had
also attacks of sick headache, and be-
gan to suffer from catarrh Of the stom-
ach, and of course awful dyspepsia.
For about a year l lived on crack
ers and water. Believing that coffee
was the cause Of all this suffering, I
finally quit it and began to use

him with ingratitude and abuse.
Later the migrate fell on evil times.

ask Mr.. Belt for help. The South At

of the unlucky ones friends and said:
