INDIAN OF MEXICO DoclLE.
Essentially Man Of Peace, He Wants
to Be Let Alone.

The simple minded, patient, docile
Indian Of Mexico IS eminently peace
full. Bountiful nature and perpetual
summer combine to palliate his i'm
providence He can not see the ne
cessity Of laying up anything for
rainy day. 1t rains half the days In
Mexico anyhow, but that only makes
the mangoes grow larger and cheaper.
If he has no tortillas today some of
his neighbors have, and they will glad
ly share, for conditions may be re-
versed tomorrow, says Modern Mex
leo.
These Mexican Indians make the
best and the poorest servants in the
world. Their greatest charm from
this standpoint is their perfect appre-
citation of their position. Always po-
lite, never presuming, with hat in
hand, it is always your servant" and

days Just twice the time is required
for the ostrich.
Plucking the plumes is done every
eight months At that period the
plume is cut off, and later, when the
stub dies, 1t is plucked out. This ope-
ration does not cause the bird any
pain.
ane plumes are then assorted with
respects to size and beauty, those of
the male being considered in point OF
size and quality as being very much
finer. It's plumage is always black and
white, while that Of the female bird IS

tail feathers are also used, but they
are not as long nor as valuable
The plucking of an ostrich has to be
done carefully, for a kick from one OF
the powerful legs of the bird Is
enough to disable man, or even to en-
danger his life. The clipping gener-
ally takes place in small quarters,
where the ostrich has no chance to use
his deadly legs to advantage, and to
further lessen the danger the head OF
the bird is covered with a sack, so
that it cannot see the ravaging of its
plumage.
Outside of the first cost Of the birds,
ostrich farming is not costly venture,

It is only a little more than two
decades ago since the. first ostriches
were brought into the United States
with the serious purpose Of attempting
their culture here. Before that time
the only ones seen in Uncle Sans
realm had been adiunets to eircuses.
When the experiment was first at
tempted there were many misgivings
as TO what success would attend to the
venture. It had been the accepted
opinion that the birds would not
thrive anywhere save in the Dark Con
tinent.
This doubt has passed now, for not
a single one of the farms is a loser,
and some are yielding considerable
profit.
When full grown the ostrich is
about eight feet tall, and weighs 200
pounds Its enormous legs are pos
sessed Of great power, which make the
bird a remarkably fast traveller.
The ostrich, when once in the mood,
is a very strenuous layer. It generally
averages fifteen to twenty eggs, suf-
ficient for a setting, and in the course
Of a season will hatch out several
broods. Where the barnyard fowl

This became monotonous at last,
and his friends resolved to stop it, if
possible. They therefore gave him
dinner and put a mild soporiflc in his
wine, and after it had produced the
desired effect they got him into
facre and took him to one of the un-
derground Paris crypts, where the
skeletons and bones have accumulated
for centuries, and are arranged in
inches in the walls; cofins are lying
about, some Of them empty. He was
laid in one of them; a single candle
was left burning, and his friends con-
cealed themselves to await results.
In course Of time the sleeper awoke,
stretched, and sat up in his coffin, loNk-
