MEXICAN CARRIERS.
The carsadors Can Carry Enormous
 Loads on Their Shoulders.

The carsadors Can Carry Enormous
 Loads on Their Shoulders.
 Just as one finds the rickshaw every- where in India, 80 one finds the carga- dor in Mexico. He is a beast of bur- den. Tn general he is comparatively small man. with broad shoulders and stout arms and legs. To look at him one would not think he would be able to carry heavy burdens. But the weight he can carry is surprising. You have trunk you can scarcely move, for instance. You send for cargador. He gets 1t upon his back, high up on the shoulders, and he marches on with it as easily as though 1t were q play thing. A life dedicated to carrying -heavy burdens has made this work easy for him. A slightly built Mexican will carry over 800 pounds on his shoulders for short distances.
 Until recent years almost everything in the City of Mexico and everywhere else throughout the republic was car ried upon the backs of cargadors. If you wanted to move your household furniture you hired certain number of cargadors. For house moving they generally work in pairs, each pair hay ing hand truck, which they pick up and carry when it Is loaded, for 1t has no wheels. In the City of Mexico there are still hundreds of these hand trucks, though one may now find plenty of carts, wagons and heavy moving trucks.--MeRican Herald.

EnuIand's National Color.

Why red should have been selected as the national color becomes intel ligible when we look at the cross of St George. Sir Walter Scott, when he wrote of how their own sea hath whelmed those red cross powers" was merely anticipating the phrase of to- day. But Oliver Cromwell, when for the first time he put the English sol dier in a red coat, probably did as much as St. George to monopolize red as the national color The aggressive color has. however, many meanings and has lent Itself to many uses. In the days of the Romans when it fared on the head Of slave 1t stood for freedom; in the days of the French revolution it stood for freedom backed by blows. while In the streets of the city today the red cross stands for succor So far back as the reign of Henry H. there was Il red book of the exchequer. record of the names of all who held lands per barOniam," and at this moment persons of conse- auence In the service of the state find their names entered In 8 red book London Chronicle.

John Quincy Adams of Massachu. setts, third of that name, was very fond of fishing and not especially fond of his legal profession. One day. the story runs, 8 case in which he was counsel was down for trial in a Mas. sachusetts court. Mfr. Adams did not make his appearance. but sent letter to the judge. That worthy gentleman read 1t and then postponed the case with the announcement:
 "Mr. Adams Is detained on impOr tant business"
 It was afterward learned by a col league of Adams that the letter read as follows:
 Dear Judge-FOr the sake of old Ezaak Walton, please continue my case till Friday. The smelts are biting, and II can't leave"

A man who was offering gratuitous information at 8 country fair was dis paraging the show of cattle.
 "Call these here prize cattle?" he scornfully said. "Why. they ain't noth- in' to what our folks raised. You may not think 1t, but my father raised the biggest calf of any man round our parts."
 'T can very well believe It," Ob- served a bystander, surveying him from head to foot.
 It is not every one who enjoys joke at his own expense. The judge who pointed with his cane and exclaimed, '"There Is a great rogue at the end of my cane." was intensely enraged when the man looked hard at him and asked coolly:

Proceedings That Somewhat Aston
ished the Sexton.

The sexton of one church that keeps
open doors all day long didn't know
whether TO regard the matter in the
light of a desecration or a devotional
exercise. He paid no attention when
the three women, watched by a man
who stood at the lower end of the
aisle, walked the length of the church
and back again. Even when they made
the trip a second time he scarcely gave
them a thought, but when the trio
started around the church a third time
and the man called out, Step a little
more briskly, please" he began to
wonder and presently made inquiry.
Il hope you won't be offended the
man replied. Il am a physical culture
Instructor. am teaching these young
ladies to walk. | have already taught
them to walk in the street, in the
drawing room, IL the theater and every
place else they are likely to find them

walk in church. Very few women can
walk there properly. Some lope, some
swagser some skip. others adopt
mincing gait. Al these styles are
very inappropriate for church A dig

for devotional purposes. Church is
the best place for pupils in walking to
receive practical instruction, therefore

Great fathers," gasped the sexton.
"What next?"
But he said no more till the walk
