Worn By Native Women in IssAnas
of Tehuantepec.
1t Is believed that many American
and European tourists will be attract
ed to the Isthmus Of Tehuantepec as
soon as they learn that the National
Tehuantepec railroad has been oomplet-
ed and opened for traffic and regular
steamship service has been established
between Coatzacoalcos and United
States and European ports, and be-
tween the Pacific coast terminal, SaIina
Cruz and San Francisco. says the New
York Tribune. The Isthmus Of Te-
huantepec has heretofore been so far
removed from through lines Of travel
that comparatively few pleasure seek
ers have visited 1t. In Its winter ell
mate the isthmus is unexcelled. The
air Is bracing and refreshing. Even In
summer the heat Is not oppressive, and
at Santa Lucrecia, where an altitude
Of several hundred feet Is reached,
there are all Of the comforts that are
to be found at most summer resorts In
the United States. In order to accom-
modate visitors large hotels have been
provided at Coatzacoalcos, Santa Lu-
crecia, Salina Cruz and other places
along the line Of railroad.
There are many interesting things to
be seen on the Isthmus, not the least
Of which are the native Tehuanas or
Indian women. They wear a peculiar |
dress that Is to be seen In no other |
part of Mexico. 1t Is called the Huipii |
dress. 1t consists of a short cape.
made Of white or colored muslin, with |
a deep lace border of white or the pal |
st lavender. lace collar, short sleeves,
with long ruffles; a short muslin jacket
Of some bright color, with low neck and
short sleeves, and petticoat which Is
simply an oblong piece Of crimson or
dark blue cotton cloth, wound around
the lotns, where II is confined by a
,ash, and reaching to the ankles. This
'eculiar dress Is worn by every Tehuana
and child, without respect to
,ge or social position. 1t Is worn In
many different ways, according to the

The Amsterdam correspondent of
the London Pail Mail Gazette writes
to bis paper Of remarkable proposal
that Is being made by the Protestant
community Of Utrecht that they should
sell to the Catholics the ancient ca
thedral OF the city, which is described
as the largest Gothic historical build
Ing In the Netherlands. The idea was
first mooted. oddly enough, by one Of
the Protestant pastors Mynheer Gun
ming. who Is regarded as the leader
OF the Protestant body In Utrecht. His
grounds for making the proposal are
strictly utllitarian. He estimates that
the buildings would realize a million
forms, with which sum II would be
possible to build FIVE new churches
and endow each with a living. 1t
should perhaps be explained that the
is said to be In a half ruin
Gus condition. During a fearful storm
In 1914. a great part of the nave col
lapsed, and has never been repaired.

Edgar Saltus, the brilliant novelist,
was asked by young lady at tea If
he thought that the use Of quotations
was a good thing.
Quotations are only good" said Mr..
Saltus, when they are extremely apt.
There was once witty Irshman,
Jumes z. Fitzgerald, who made excel
lent use of a quotation in a political
speech. During this speech he was re-
peatedly interrupted by butcher, the
proprietor Of large sausage-making
plant An adherent of Fitzgerald's
finally took offense at the butchers
remarks, and yelled:
"'Hey, you, leave politics alone, and
60 back to your sausage machines"
"The butcher glared at the man and
retorted:
"If had this speaker in one Of my
sausage machines, I'd soon make mince-
meat OF him.
"Then Mr.. Fitzgerald quoted from
the platform with a smile:
"'Is thy servant dog that thou
shouldst do this thingY"

Thackeray's Pantomfme.

William Makepeace Thackeray was
always too genial, too generous, too
open handed, to be an accumulator of
this worlds goods, and in spite of the
large earnings of his pen he died a
poor man. Shortly before his death his
friend, John Leech, the cartoonist, call
ed upon him and found him in his
study writing-writing and signing at
the monotony of his work.
''Why don't you have holiday"
said Leech, "and take your girls to the
seaside?"
The great novelist made no verbal
answer, but, rising slowly, plunged his
hands to the very bottom Of his pock-
cts, brought these receptacles out,
shook them vigorously without eliciting
rattle Of coin, replaced them and then
resumed his seat.

a scene OF brilliancy each morning
when the women gather to do their
trading. One OF the staple food pro
ducts Is the iguana. This animal is
sold alive. 1t Is a foot or two long,
and In order to make 1t marketable Its
mouth Is sewed up, to prevent 1t from
biting, and Its legs are tied behind lts
back. The Tehuanas are noted for
their cleanliness. The men are indo-
lent, of short stature and slight build.
They wear white linen shirts, with the
tails outside OF the trousers. Men,
women and children go barefooted.
There are number of American
planters on the isthmus. Most Of their
holdings are In the anterior. These
plantations are principally devoted to
raising coffee and sugar.
As side trip the American tourist
may go over the new Pan-American
railroad, which now runs from San
Geronimo, a station on the National
Tehuantepec road, to within 100 miles
Of the Qua atemala border. Considerable
progress has been made in the construc-
tion of this last 100 miles, and the
builders declare that in less than
year the road Will be finished to the
Guatemala border. Deer, wild hogs
and other game which are to be found
In tropical MEXICO abound all along
the route There are no restrictive
game laws, and the sportsman can hunt
and kill to his hearts desire. The surf
bathing at Salina Cruz, both winter
and summer, is excellent, and 50 is the
deep water fishing.

AN EMBEZZLING ELEPHANT.


The vicious system Of graft has
crept even into the animal world, and
corrupted a resident Of the New York
Geological Park. Gunda, the elephant,
Is the guilty party. He has hitherto
been considered most respectable and
upright member Of society. A writer
in the New York Tribune tells the sor-
ry tale. Gunda's many visitors have
been in the habit Of presenting pennies
to Jack Gleason, the keeper, which he
would place on the door Of the ele-
phant house.
Gunda would then pick up these
coins with his trunk and deposit them
In a small box above his head, and
would ring bell to register the
amount Of the deposit. Lately the
business has become very heavy, owing
10 the thousands of visitors, and Glea-
son decided to 60 over the "books' and
figure out his exact receipts.
The result Is that Gunda Is dn dis
grace, and will be made the subject Of
an official investigation by the side of
which the late prosecution Of bank
and insurance CRATER will look tame.
The details Of the defaulting Gunda
are as follows:
Gunda certainly deposited the pen
nies In the box and as certainly rang
the bell, but thereafter his ways be-
came dark and devious. No sooner
was Gleason's back turned than he
would pick them out with his trunk
and put them into his mouth. When q
visitor appeared Gunda would put a
cent on the floor and 60 through the
form Of dropping 1t in again, and ring
the bell.
Gleason sought to stop the fraud by
driving small staples into the bottom
Of the box. SO that the penny could
drop between them. This presented no
difficulties to Gunda, who simply 'elon-
gathed the tip of his trunk and pulled
the cent out Then long nails, which
acted as barrier, were put in in place
If the staples.
But still the receipts and the regis
ter did not agree. One day Gleason,
Unexpectedly. caught the ele-
ohant In the act of reaching to the top
If the partition wall with his trunk.
Gunda, on seeing he was discovered,
Affected an air OF easy nonchalance,
which, however did not deceive his
Keeper, who climbed to the top of the
vail. The mystery was solved. There |
ay pennies, old and new. In luxurious
and Gunda hung his head
md sulked.

Old Are and work.

Old people make a great mistake
when they give UP work. Many men
who have made competency In busi-
ness and feel entitled to retire from
active work find themselves declining
In health and becoming prematurely
old for want Of occupation. In most
aged persons the vital functions con-
tinue in active exercise under normal
conditions, but Ii the regularity and
moderation Of business life are depart
ed from trouble will surely follow

A Queer Error.

The late Ambrose L. Thomas, the
noted advertising expert Of Chicago,
once told story about two doctors in
an address on advertising.
ITO illustrate my point" he said.
apropos Of an advertising error, "I'll
tell you about my friend Bones. Bones
was taken down very bad, and, his fam
lily physician being out Of town, spe-
cialist was called in
"But the family physician unexpect-
edly returned, and he and the special
ist entered Bones chamber together.
They found the man in a high fever
and partially unconscious. Each put
his hand under the bed clothes to feel
Bones pulse, and each accidentally got
hold Of the others hand.
"'He has typhoid said the first ply
sician.
Nothing Of the kind said the 9TH
err He's only drunk"

Plenty of Parents.

At Quimper, in Brittany, the wife OF
a man named LIE Saux gave birth to a
boy. The father took the child and
sold it for fS to the wife of the local
butcher, Nine. BOnan. The woman pre-
sented it to her husband as her own
newly-born infant and Bonan FASTENED
to register the child's birth.
LIE Saux, fearing that he might get
Into trouble with the police, next con-
suited the butcher, whom he supposed
to be party to the fraud. The duped
husband threw lie Saux out of the
house. The latter then registered the
birth OF his own child. In the eye of
the law, therefore, the infant has
claims on two separate families and en-
joys the unique distinction Of being
the son Of two mothers.-Paris News.

Has anybody ever stopped to think
bow many mixes the wheels OF a rail-
road car travel before they wear out?
Statistics gathered from various roads
show that perfect car wheels often roll
from three hundred Thousand to four
hundred and fifty Thousand miles be-
fore they have to be turned down.
Wheels with flaws in them run only
about fifty to ninety thousand miles.

IN FORM OF GREAT KITE
DISTINGUISHED INVENTOR HOPES
TO SOLVE PROBLEM OF
AERIAL NAVIGATION.

Baddeck, n. S.-After many years OF
experimental work, the contrivance
with which Dr. Alexander Graham Bell
hopes TO solve the problem of aerial
navigation was successfully launched
Wednesday In the presence OF intimate
friends of the inventor and few OF the
more prominent citizens of the place.
The launching took place at the Bell
laboratory, the ceremony OF christen'
ing being attended to by Mrs. Bell, who

name TO be "The Signet."
At 3 o'clock the doors of the work
shop were thrown open and the kite
was conveyed to float upon which II
was towed out on the waters OF Brasa.
dor lake.
Owing to the adverse weather con.
ditions. however, a flight was not at
tempted.
The kite. or ship. Is In itself section
OF tetrahedron. l3 metres long on
top. 10 metres along the bottom by 3
metres deep.
II is composed OF 1856 units. or
small tetrahedrons. two faces of which
are covered with silk. thus forming
two-winged cell. These cells. SO ar.
ranged. are said TO give. as the results
OF many tests. the maximum stability
with the lishtest weight.
A hole is cut through the center OF
the contrivance to furnish accommoda.
tion for the motor and n visitor. The
ship is also provided with bow for
sailing purposes.
Three floats are used as a part OF Its
construction TO support 1t while float
ing on the lake.
A Curtis motor is used. II is OF four
cylinders, twenty-horse power. and
weighs l29 pounds: II drives two solid
screw propellers on the same shaft but
in opposite directions. These are EN-.
ployed to reduce the turning movement
which results in tendency to overturn
the ship when only one propeller Is
used. or two are driven in the same di.
rection.
