A MEXICAN HERRADEHO.
First Day of Cattle Roundup
play of CharrO's Skill.

First Day Of Cattle Roundup u La
play of CharrO's Skill.
Preparations are being maze III
many ranches and haciendas ior Tue
annual ceremony of the herradero' OF
branding of the new cattle, WHICH Is
a motive for grand fete in all stocK-
raising ranches and haciendas OF the
country, according to the Mexican
Herald.
The herraderos are held on Dig
plains called de brote tierno. lnese
plains are usually beautiful pralrles'
where grandstands are erected LOT the
guests of honor, while other witnesses
see the branding of the cattle and the
"suertes" executed by skillful morse
riders from carts prettily adorned Tor
the occasion.
From early in the morning people
begin to flock to the prairie where the
herradero is to be held. There are
a number of tents or shades made Win
petates fixed to single pole, around
which people assemble and take their
breakfast, which consists Of cheese,
milk and atole, with some pllonclllo.
There are also, under petate shades,
several small orchestras. AS a rule
musicians who form such orchestras
are men in white breeches and shirt,
with very big sombrero, but with
very little knowledge of music; they
call themselves musicos lirlcos, De-
cause they know nothing about music,
but they claim to have muy buen dido
"a very good earl.
These orchestras play all the time,
until the amo, or owner Of the haclen-
da, comes with his party to see the
herradero.
The arrival of the amO is saluted
with enthusiastic vivas. This is the
signal for the charros who are going
to take part in the herradero to ap-
pear, salute the amO and get ready.
These charrOs, as rule, are young
men of means, either relatives OF the
amo or owners of neighboring ranches
and haciendas. They are all mounted
on very fine horses, wear rich clothes
and sombreros embroidered with silver
and gold, and have rich saddles of
the kind called sillas vaquer embroid-
cred all over with gold and silver.
Cattle are let one by one into the
Enclosure, which has been surrounded
by a wire or cord fence. AS soon as
an animal appears one of the charros
runs after it, catches it's tail and by
a rapid turning of the direction of his
horse the charro throws it to the
ground. When the animal regains its
feet other charros lasso it and take
it to the place where it is to be brand
ed.
Some of the charros are extremely
skillful with the lasso and the feats
they perform cause the spectators to
go wild with enthusiasm.
The herradero lasts all day long.
But this is only the first day, general
ly a Sunday. After that day the
branding of cattle is continued without
much ceremony, If any.

A NEW STANDARD.

Take a man that's been kind of
easy all his life and begins to get
slack ways, and best thing his women
folks can do Is to persuade him into
buying a piece O. personal property

William Latham to his wife on his
return from visit to his cousin
Bemis. 1T beats all the way Bemus
has taken on neatness an what you
might call style, since last time was
over"
What property has he acquired?"
Mrs. Latham asked. Il thought he'd
got all the buildings he needed, an
more. too"
"'Tisn't buildings said Mr.. La
than, Il never spoke of real estate"
with an amused tolerance of her mis-
take. He's bought the carryall that
belonged to old Green Roberts, the
sexton an undertaken, that died last
Febru'ry.
THE new young man wanted to dis
pose of most of old Roberts proper
ties, and Bemus said to me that his
folks told him If he'd varnish it up
jest a mite 'twould be complete for
their afternoon rides; being lower
hung than the one they had, and
Bemus having fleshed up, 'twould be
easier getting in an out.
Hes been apt to go without his
vest, and some hot days he's ripped
off his coat, let Emma and Liza say
what they would; but first time he
rode out In this carryall, five or six
folks stopped him, and said it looked
jest as it used to when twas always
first in the procession, after the fam
ily's closed carriage. And Bemus said
to me that folks always dressed care
full at those times, and 'someway or
mother don't want to shame the old
carryall, because tbs old, he told me
and that's the core an center of his
change"

Tho annals OF all tribunals ana all
the happenings of recorded time may
be searched in vain for the record of
a crime so utterly fiendish and cruel,
SO black and damnable as the occa-
sional attempts that are made, from
whatever motive, to MAIN and kill
large numbers of people by wrecking
trains. 1t makes the mildest natures
feel savage and vindictive and almost
willing to join in putting the wretches
guilty of such deeds to death by slow
torture. What is the matter with us
that trains are wrecked and held up
and robbed, that banks are raided
and robbed, that people are lynched,
hanged and burned without trial, that
men shoot each other down in the
streets to settle personal differences,
that men shoot women who refuse to
marry them, and that girls kill lovers
who desert them. that an unwritten
law is sanctioned by the courts, and
that such things are happening all
the time here and are almost never
known to happen in other countries?
1t is time that every American citizen
considered deeply of these things, for
they are a shame and a reproach to
us.

it "mundic.' Few people appreciate

Short Suggestions.


Clean linoleum with warm water
and polish with milk.
Ammonia used unsparingly cleanses
and purifies kitchen utensils
Clean soiled wall paper with plaster
of paris tied up in a muslin bag.
No soap on window panes! Rub
them with either alcohol or ammonia
to make them shine.
To keep an iron sink in good con-
dition scrub once or twice week with
sandsoap and kerosene. Every night
put little chloride of lime over the
strainer and pour through it ket-
tleful of boiling water.
Apply the white of an egg with a
camers hair brush to fly specks on
gilt frames and they will disappear.
Soft soap made from half pound
of shaved down hard soap and two
quarts of water will save the soap
bill at cleaning time.
Iron holders made from piece Of
asbestos the desired size and covered
with drilling or heavy unbleached mus
lin are light and keep out heat. There
should be ring or loop sewed to one
corner to hang the holder.
All the cooking utensils should be
washed with soda Immediately after
they have been used, which will re-
move every trace of grease.
If your corn does not pop we'll,
1t may be because it is old. Soak it
in cold water for fifteen minutes, drain
and try again. Better results will. un-
doubtedly be obtained.
Worn brooms or wh1sks may be
dipped into hot water and uneven
edges trimmed with shears. This
makes the straws harder, and the trim
ming makes the broom almost as good
as new.

TIGER WHIPS A LION.

While an audience of 1900 people
was in the hall of a Coney Island ami.
NAL show lion and tiger started
fighting, and before they could be sep.
arated the hind quarters of the lion
had been SO mangled by his striped
antagonist that he had to be shot. The
act which was being shown required
seven lions and two tigers, and was
considered a very daring feat on &C.
count Of the enmity of the great
jungle beasts. At every performance
they snapped and snarled at each 9th.
er, but had always been held in check
by the trainer; on this occasion, how.
ever, he turned his head for an in.
slant, and in that inconceivable time
the lion saw his chance and sprane
upon the tiger, after which, in spite
of efforts to part them, they fought
until both were helpless.

YOU NEED FOOD YOU DON'T GET.

Blames Traditions in Diet for "Frao-
tionaI Men and Women"
People whose food supply day after
day contains only perhaps eight or ten
OF the sixteen chemical elements OF
which the body Is composed and sell
dom any of the others, pay the penalty
for not supplying in right proportion
and chemical combination all the ele-
ments requisite for the growth and
maintenance Of their bodies; they are
only fractional men and women, &C
cording to Helen Sayr Gary In the
North American Review. Farmers
know what to feed cows to increase
the quantity of milk or to increase
or decrease certain constituents Of It,
Orchardists ascertain that pear trees
need iron, that ounce trees need salt;
but no thought is given to feeding the
family for efficiency.
The i'll effects Of bad housekeeping
are as conspicuous in the country as
in the city. Tradition has more weight
in country homes than anywhere else
The law of evolution is very slow in
its operation IN the home, especially
in the country. because women who
live on farms are SO out OF reach.
They do not try new recipes for any
thing except some dish they may get
when away from home. Unusual dishes
would lay them open to the charge
of fancy cooking" and, like demon
strative affection, are looked upon as
unseemly. Pancakes, pie, cake. dough
nuts, canned fruit, fried foods. bread,
tea and coffee, with potatoes three
times a day, are the chief articles OF
diet the year round. Then, sodden
with food, the members OF the family
resort to patent medicines to cure
themselves of their self-infiicted Ills in
an attempt to circumvent the law Of
cause and effect.
