Many Lanauaaes of Mexico.

During the fiesta of Christmas or the week of All Souls and All Saints. when the Indians swarm down from the mountains with their holiday wares for sale, visitors in the City of Mexico may notice the strange language that the vendors use in addressing each other. Even when they turn to serve the purchaser their Spanish is neither Castilian nor Mexican. but is frequent. ly broken by peculiar syllables and accents. This is merely an illustra- tion of the fact that the Indian lan- guages of old Mexico have not been entirely submerged by the conquering Spanish, and in some of the most re- mote districts of the republic various and distinct languages handed down from the pre-Columbian era are still spoken in their pristine purity by many tribe menbers.--Mexican Herald.

Rjdino a Camel In the Desert,

Dr. Nachtigal, the celebrated African explorer, was the guest of rich Ham, burg merchant. The merchants son, a young man of a somewhat sentimental temperament. said among other things that his dearest wish was to ride across the desert on the back of a camel. He thought such ride must be very poet ical indeed.
 My dear young friend" replied the explorer, T can tell you how you can get partial idea of what riding camel on the deserts of Africa is like. Take an office stool, screw it up as high as possible and put it in wagon without any springs. Then seat your self on the stool and have it driven over rocky and uneven ground during the hottest weather of July or August and after you have not had anything to eat or drink for twenty four hours, and then you will get faint idea of how delightfully."- poetic 1t is to ride on a camel in the wilds of Africa"

He Gave Her a Present,

When was young man Lady .Jer- sey was one of the leaders of fashion, and her house was the resort of poli- ticians and others. With her lived her daughter, Lady Clementine villiers, handsome and clever girl. The custom had been established that all friends should give the latter present on her birthday, and these presents were set out in an antechambcr. Among these friends was Lord Brougham, then an old man. He called on birthday. but had forgotten what the occasion was. and had brought no present. Seeing mass of presents laid out, he seized one of them and took it in as his present. rightly counting that the. young lady would not remember that it was one that already had been given to her And very proud he was of his pres ence of mind. But, then, he was an ex-lord chancellor.-London Truth.

THE v00D0O IN HAITI.
Human Sacrifices to the God of the
 Serpent.

Human Sacrifices to the God of the
 Serpent.
 There is ample proof that human be- ings have been offered as sacrifices to the god of the serpent in Haiti. A French archbishop of the island de. scribes a visit made by one of the priests to q voodoo assembly. The man had disguised himself as a negro. and he was thus able to mingle unde- tected with the crowd in the obscurity outside the sacred circle. After the white cock and white goat had been slain and offered up and their blood had been sprinkled on the company a burly young negro came forward and prostrated himself before the priestess. Then. still kneeling. he made his prayer:
 70 maman, I have a favor to ask of thee"
 What is it. my son?" said the negress encouragingly.
 Wilt thou not give US, to complete the sacrifice. the goat without horns?'
 The priestess gave sign of assent The crowd roundabout separated, and there was revealed child. sitting with its feet bound. The French priest rushed away in search of assistance in preventing the unholy rite. but the authorities on whom he called were strangely slothful. When finally, ou the day following. they arrived at the place of assembly, they found the grewsome remains of sacrifice and a feast, among them the boiled skull of the child.-Marvin Dana in Metropoli. tan Magazine.

House moving is al easy task among the Lakas, a tribe living near the La gone river. in the French Kongo, Af- rica. This tribe. which is one of the most superb examples of the savage black race. lives in conical shaped huts constructed of plalts of tough straw. When a change in location is desired, both the women and the men put their shoulders to the task and carry tho roofs of their homes to the new site, sometimes many miles distant The circular walls of the huts are rebuilt.
