the signboard really meant something

and the lot as TO which Is the more

enough to say that the billboards have

that the only contrast is between the

A DINNER IN MEXICO.

The dinner began with soup, fol-
lowed by an array of courses,
mostly compounds of things / did
not recognize, and nearly all very
hot with cili,perDers, but on the
whole palatable. Erijolos Cbeans)
were served just before the dulce.
That is a warning that you have
had all you are going to get, and
to satisfy yourself upon them, If you
have not had enough of the other
things They are well cooked and
good. The bread was in the form
of rolls, sweeten and or poor quail
lty-"pon blan.o" it is called. 1t
is the characteristic bread, how
ever, of MexiCo-when bread Is to
be had at all. The coffee was OF
good quality but, like all Mexican
coffee, muddy and very strong, 1t
is burned black in roasting, ground
to a powder, boiled and served
grounds and all. You are sup
posed to drink the grounds.
After dinner Ramos took us about
the town. 1t has, he informed us,
about two thousand inhabitants. The
buildings on Uhe main street, as
have hinted, are mostly OF substan-
tial Spanish architecture, while
the others are mere shacks of poles
and mud with matched roofs and
oarthen floors, The main street is
paved with cobblestones, through
which grass grows, and from the
sea front to the customs house a
miniature railroad is laid, on which
a push car is operated to carry
freight from the landing TO the ware
houses. WlWw'Nl
Men and women lounged in the
little shops, drinking mescal and
tequila, their native whiskey The
latter is simply a better quality of
the former. The best shops are kept
by Cinnamon, and everything is sold
in them, including dry goods and
fruit We once stopped at one and
drank some coCOanut milk and then
ate the soft meat from The green
fruit with a spoon. They do not
eat the cocoanut here after 1t has
ripened. We also tested the or
anges, green-skinned but ripe and
sweet, all seedlings and not TO be
compared in quality with the or
anges OF California; and bananas,
from delicious small banana, not
larger than your thumb, to the inn
mense plantain grande, which is
cooked as "a vegetable. The bananas
are no better than those to be had
at any New York fruit stand, for
they are ripened in the same way
after they are cut From Beyond
the Mexican Sierras," by Dillon
Wallace in The outing Magazine for
April.

a Judgment of the court of Charles

The petitioner relates that the

to the Judgment the court ordered
that a piano which was concerned

that he be restored to his property
and that the judgment of the lower
count be reversed

AMONG MAGAZINES
SPIRIT DRAWINGS.

In the April Strand Magazine
there is a remarkable article de-
scriptive of number of artistic
designs which have been made by
persons while under hynotic spells.
The mat interesting account is one
recently investigated by Professor
James, the distinguished American
savant. Here are the particulars:
The subject, G. II. p, a married
man, fifty years of age, was debar-
red from following his occupation
of bookkeeper .owing to an injury
to his spine. For come years pre-
vious to the accident P's hand had
been subject TO switching, and 9TH
er involuntary movements, but
these he had attributed to nervous
ness, being unaware of his latent
artistic powers. On the advice of
hypnotist, however, he decided u
encourage these premonitory symp-
toms, and with pencil and paper be
fore him he sat down to await re-
suits. Tarcings were directly made,
the movements being violent and
erraSlc but 1t was some days be-
fore an object chat could be recog-
nized was produced Gradually,
however, out of the meaningless
maze OF lines appeared heads, crude
and barbaric; vases covered with
curious and fantastic faces, dark
skinned warriors and animals OF
unknown types. In the course of
few months the pictures assumed
quite an artistic appearance.
'I have tried hard" says G, II.
p, "to account for the power or
directing mind that produces these
pictures, but so far with no salts
factory results. / must say, how
ever, that the evidence to me is
strong, that in order that the un-
known power should have sway,
the natural or earthly mind must
be for the time being set aside,
either entirely or (what appears
to me more reasonably the un-
known power should have swayed
the dominant one but facts in con-
junction with the earthly mind
TEN LIONS IN A DAY.
The Wide World Magazine Tor
April contains a story of an eXclt-
ing days sport on the Athi River,
british 1Oast y41dca, somewhere
near the locality where the ex-
President expects to bag his first
lions. In the Wide World narrative
the lions came not singly but in
troops and no fewer than ten fell
to the rifles of the party OF three.
The last lon however, nearly bag
ged member of the party before
being killed by a plucky native,
William Cooper, who writes the
story, had just slain his second lion,
as he thought when a terrific grow
was heard, and the apparently dead
animal rose up as If unhnrt and
jumped at Captain H.. 'He did
not spring, says the writer; 'hu

Mr.. Frank A. Perret, formerly
honorary assistant at Royal Vesu-
Wan observatory, was one Of those
who remained at that post OF duty
during the great eruption of 1906.
He has since studied at close rapIge
the volcano at Stromboli in action;
in 1907 he predicted that a great
of Aetna was impending
and he was ON his way to Sicily
when the Messina tragedy took place
Writing Of "The Messlna Earth
quake in the Apri Century,
Mr.. Perret declares its lesson
two-fold one-and the freshness of
the San F'rancicso horror brings
the warning home;
''Those who live in earthquake
districts should build their houses
to Withstand these vibrations of the
ground. This is feasible, and II is
to be hoped that all ruined towns
will be rebuilt accordingly. But 1t is
too much to expect thai
existing cities in earthquake dis
tricts will be torn down and re-.
built and therefore those who favor
the spending of large sums OF
money for astronomical and othe.
research work should also favor It's
expenditure for the proper study of
the world on which we live, in
order that we may learn its secrets
and foretell ts movements, and thus
prevent great earthquake from be-
ing also a great disaster. This.
too, is feasible and 1t is a matter
of vital importance to humanity
May it not be hoped that this
last great catastrophe, with its
hideous loss of human life and its
enormous total cost, will cause the
lesson to be taken TO heart"
