TOWN o. GOLD sa,cks.

Wealth Found In the Walls % Mexican
Adobe Houses.
There are many remarkable towns
In Mexico. but none more interesting
than Guanajuato, THE Hin Of the
Frog" It might more properly bs
called the gold brick town." for the
houses have been found to contain
much gold.
This IL . curious situation. but It
came about naturally. Guanajuato-
pronounced Wah.nah-wahto-is one Of
the Oldest mining towns in Mevico;
but the value Of the place as a town
was discovered when railroad COM
pany decided to build station there.
1t was found necessary to tear down
about 300 adobe buildings, which were
made Of the refuse Of various mines
after the ore was extracted.
When 1t became known that the old
adobe buildings would be torn down
pieces taken at random were assayed.
It was found that because Of the old
process, which lost much gold and Sill
yer, they assayed from So to 324 q
ton. The mean value was estimated
to run about So gold ton.
The old buildings have brought
about 100000 Mexican in gold, and
persons who have built since the new
machinery has been installed in the
mines are bemoaning the fact that the
new houses do not contain as much
gold as the old.

Women Must stand We'll.

Good carriage not only means good looks, but good health. The importance of standing, sitting and walking cor rectly can not be overestimated and is entirely one of personal responsibility.
 Children should be trained into prop CT pastures, but if early training has been neglected, then it behooves the slouchy and stoop-shouldered to get busy.
 It Is not as hard as one would think to have graceful carriage, though to read many of the requirements of the beauty doctors a fully-equipped gym nasium and unlimited time would seem requisite A few simple rules faith fully followed will quickly improve the most awkward bearing.
 To stand well remember to keep the chest high,- knees straight, abdomen In, ard hips back, and the feet inclined at an angle of about 90 degrees. With chest, knees and hips in their proper places, the feet will generally look after themselves.
 To walk we'll and easily maintain the same position of chest, abdomen and knees, and let the swing come from the hips.

 'sThe cremation of the remains of the late Hon. Edward H. Strovel, min ister plenipotentiary and general advis- CT to the Siamese government, took place at Wat Dhebasirindr with royal honors and in the presence of a large and representative gathering. The flu neral pyre was first ignited by the King himself, a mark of the royal af- lection and esteem such as has never before been bestowed upon any for eigner in the service of the Siamese government.
 At o'clock the casket was placed on the new royal hearse at the Prot estant cemetery and the cortege start ed for the crematorium. The front of the catafalque was draped with the Siamese flag and the rear with the United States emblem. The United States minister and the acting general adviser, the Hon. J. I. Westengard GIL. B. 'S9), and members of the diplomatic corps occupied the left hand side of the pavilion, while the princes and nobles occupied that on the right and the various members of the con- suite corps and government officials the center, the general public surround ing the whole.
 At about o'clock the King and Crown Prince arrived, attended by the whole court. His majesty took up his position at the end of the long pavilion near the pyre. A brief Christian serv- ice was read by the United States min ister and then the King lit the pyre with his own hands"

suggestion in the Nursery.

Suggestion in the Nursery.
 People to-day seem to be divided into three camps on the question of how much help medical science can get from mental or spiritual sugges- tion. There are enthusiasts for and conservatives against, and then a large class of mild conservatives, who are willing to see mental suggestion gain and keep a place as the hand maid of medicine, but refuse to have her masquerading as queen. There Is assuredly one domain where mental science has always held wide sway, and where it's help has been constant ly invoked, both consciously and un- consciously. and that is the nursery. The wiser the guardians of the nur- sery, the more consciously and scien- tifically is this latent and mysterious force called upon for aid. It is need less to point out that it can be used for harm here as readily as else where, and many broken-down adults might trace the first steps in their un- doing to the foolish suggestions plant ed by ignorance in their nursery days.
 Some persons make the mistake of treating every little childish ailment with sort of portentous solemnity. They talk in such way as to arouse all the dramatic instinct of small pa- tient. and help it to fill the role of in- valid with gusto. What are delcut::" one small girl was heard to ask her

 Sensitive people, above all others, have most need of that grand, spirit ual virtue, common sense And over- sensitive girls should be carefully in- struc;ed as to the dangers of their pc culiar temperament. They should be taught to govern not only their actions but their thoughts and feelings by req son and judgment.
 They should be shown how to argue out their misery and reduce it to it's lowest terms before allowing them selves to be made miserable by imag- mary sorrows. And such girls should be made to believe firmly that no vir- tue lies in unhappiness.

A pIsagreeabIe Habit.

The habit of snubbing is most dis agreeable one. Those who are snubbed are generally taken off their guard, and given a sudden blow when they are careful and at ease in the security of social intercourse, and thus they are placed at great disadvantage. A snub, says one, is a check, blank; 1t is curtain suddenly drawn down; 1t is pulling up against q dead wall II is cold obstruction and recoil. We have seen parents snub children, first allowing them liberties, then stopping them with a harsh check in mid-career of spirits and in the presence of strangers. Perhaps we rave given way to enthusiasm and are met by ridicule. Or we have made a confl- dence which we think tender, and 1t Is received with indifference. Or we tell story, and are asked for the point or 1t. Or we are given to understand that we are mistaken where we nave assumed ourselves well informed. Or our taste is coolly set at naught; or we talk, and are reminded we are prosy; or we are brought face to face with our ignorance In a way to make us feel 1t most keenly. The strength of snub lies in the sudden apprehen- sion that we have committed ourselves, and a consequent painful sense of in- significance, that there is somebody quite close to us, regardless of our feelings, looking down on us, and os- tentatiously unsympathizing. Beware of snubbing any one. It makes most painful and permanent impression. It may be done In a moment, and yet is not likely to be forgotten for years, if not for an entire lifetime.
 How charming is the disposition which instead of repelling, invites the confidence of others. The person who snubs may be unconscious of the harm he or she inhicts on others and how oftentimes friends are lost by habit which jealousy only too often has ere ated. A snub oftentimes causes heart pang that never is forgotten.

The over-sensitive Woman.

The oversensltive woman is of all women the most likely to bring un- happiness upon herself. The chief ob- stacle to helping people of sensitive temperament, whether such people are young or old, is the idea which domi- mates most of them that their sensi- tiveness is not accounted a defect to be controlled by the laws of common sense.
 They go through much real misery. huYging their sensitive feelings to
