Blend Indians.

One of the mysteries of Mexico Is
presented by the Maya Indians, who
inhabit the Sierra Madre mountains in
the lower part of Sonora. They have
fair skins, blue eyes and light hair, and
students Of ethnology have always
been puzzled to account for them.
There is q tradition, however, that
these Indians are the descendants of
the crew and passengers of a Swedish
vessel wrecked on the Mexican coast
centuries before Columbus discovered
the new world. But this tradition is
founded on nothing more substantial
than a folklore tale current among
them that their ancestors came over
the big salt water hundreds Of moons
ago.

A Rebuff For DR.. Johnson.

DR.. Johnson called one morning on
Benjamin West to converse with him
on American affairs. After some time
Mr.. West said that he had a young
American Colbert STUART living with
him, from whom he might derive some
information, and introduced Stuart
The conversation continued Stuart be-
ing thus invited to take a part in it).
when the doctor observed to Mr.. West
that the young man spoke very good
English and, turning to Stuart, rudely
asked him where he had learned it.
Stuart very promptly replied: "Sir, l
can better tell you where / did not
learn it. 1t was not from your diction-
ary."

READING the Face.

Restless eyes denote a deeeitful, de-
signing disposition; greenish eyes mean
faIsehood, malice and love of scan
dal: blue eyes tell of tendency to CO.
quetry; black eyes mean a lively, spir-
tied and sometimes deceftful charac-
ter; eyes with a yellowish. bloodshot
white usually betoken strong emotions
and hot temper; gray eyes mean dig
nifty and intelligence and brown eyes u
tender, true, kind and happy nature. A
mouth had better be too large than too
small, for very small, pursed up
mouth Is seldom significant of good
conversational power. Large mouths
are more often found In conjunction
with liberal dispositions than very
small ones. A person with a pointed
chin IS fanciful, refined IN taste and
difficult to please. a broad, square
chin signifies ardent love, often accom-
panied by jealousy. A broad, round
chin means ardent love, with a stead
fastness and purity of affection.

An Eac In a Bottle.

A chemist has discovered a simple
means of getting an egg with I'M
broken shelD into a bottle of, say, the
ordinary kind, used for ginger ale.
All you have to do is to soak boiled
egg in vinegar for three days. The
shell becomes so soft that it can easily
be forced through the narrow aperture
of the bottle. And once 1t is inside If
it is soaked in water for a little while
the eggshell resumes its original hard

IN FAR OFF MARS
People of Planet HoaFding Every Drop
of Water.

While the people on the planet Of
Mars are supposed to be vastly super
Tor in every way TO the inhabitants
of this earth, according to Prof. Lest.
er F. Ward, of Brown university, they
have only about 100000 more years
to live, while the people of this world
are only beginning their allotted
space of 100000 years.
Thirst will kill the Martians, the
professor says, and even now it is dry
time perpetually up there. Most OF
the waters that once covered every
thing have vanished in the same way
that this planet is all the while losing
hydrogen, one of the two components
of water. This process has proceeded
so far on Mars that most of the liquid
refreshment of it's inhabitants, assum
ing it has such, is confined to narrow
circles about the two poles. 1t is
made available for the uses of the
Martians only by means of an intri
cate network of canals.
"On Mars we can, as it were, see
with our own eyes a race Of vast an
tiquity and supreme wisdom, clinging
desperately to the orb that bore it
half gasping for breath, and boarding
every drop of its precious water, bu
doomed in the relatively near future
to face the lingering death of a dyin.
world"
This gloomy picture, Prof. Ware
says, is in store for the people of thii
earth, but there is no need of worry a
the present time, as it is 100000
years distant.

Good Advice.

Go on in all simplicity. Do not be
so anxious to win a quiet mind, and
it will be all the quieter. Do not ex-
anime SO closely into the progress OF
your own soul. Do not crave so much
to be perfect, but let your spiritual
life be formed by your duties and by
the actions which are called forth by
circumstances-F de Sales.

Roper was with the mob, begging for mercy, niif his plea thnt the law be allowed to take its course bore fruit for a mo inent. The mob started back toward the jail until some one cried, If he had murdered your mother you would hang him." At this the mob once more hustled Cullen to the bridge and hang cd him.
 T came upon the inob,' said Roper, "after they had left the jAil with the bound prisoner. pleaded for the man and asked to pray for him. The mob cried This Is not tue time to pray. There is no mercy for hin.' I tried again and succeeded in getting the prisoner. The lynehers removed their hats. and there was the stiffness of death as I commended the prisoners soul to God. told him to pray, and he said: What can say? I did not kill my wife. did not know she was dead
 At this point the mob llowled. One man struck me, and was hurled out side the mob. As pleaded with the crowd to allow the law to take its course men in the mob replied: The law would take it's course. Efn would never pay the penalty for those crimes. See what happered in Butler county. 1 No Butler coilntY here md other sim liar remarks I learned later that these cries had reference t6 the recent com mutation of the death penalty in the case of Louis Bushe, who murdered his wife near Charles City four years ago.

 masted Derelict Sighted.
 NEW YORK. Jan. 1.-The Red D linc steamer Caracas, which has arriv- cd at Poiice. Porto Rico. reports liav- ing sighted a dismasted derelict within forty miles of the place where the missing Porto Rico steamer Ponce was last sighted by the Shenandoah This derelict lies either in or close to the path which the Ponce must have been pursuing when seen by the Sbenan- doah's captain on Dec. 2S.
 Information of the location of the dereliet was received by Captain Hunt at the United States Photographic of flee In this city in message from Gov erner geekmaa Winthrop of Porte Rl- co. He says:
 Steamer Caracas. Red D line, re ports a dismasted defelict about 150 feet long. two or three feet above wa ter. in route of vessels between New York and Porto Rico, passed on Jan. [ in latitude es.27. longitude T0.01."
 The longer the Trinidad line steamer Maracas is overdue in her trip from Port of Spain tho more sang,iine be- come the members Of the maritime ex- change that she is aiding the overdue Ponce.
 The Ponce. which left Ponce at D. m. Dec. 25. is now eleven days late. The Maracas. which left Port of Spain Dec. @. is Ave days behind time.
 Providing the Ponce broke her ma chlnesy and started to drift. there is strong probability fin the minds of shipping men that the Maracas met her and is bringing her in.
