An old woman of. q. wealthy New
Jersey family was going visiting. The
coachman, who had not been in this
country long, had just been eqripred
with a new uniform and a new silk
hat. Before they had gone far It be-
gan to sprinkle, and the old woman
told the coachman to fasten down the
side curtains Of the wagonette.
He drove up to a hitching post be-
side the road and, d~ismounting, hung
his new hat on the post, and begun to
fasten the curtains.
The old woman noticed his bare
head and asked him where his hat
was.
"oi took it 4 FINE head, mum. SO as

replied.

Crash! Down went the proud little

TUBERCULOSIS IN THE PRISON
Per Cent. Of s~ufTerera Is Enormous
and There Seems but One

From several investigations that
have been made by the National As
ISOLATION for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis. 1t Is estimated
that on an average about fifteen per,
cent. Of the prison population Of the
country Is afflicted with tuberculosis.
On this basis, out Of the $4,000 prison.
9ers housed IN tie penal institutions
of the United States at any given,
time, not less than 12 900 are infected
with this disease. II the Philippine
islands and other insula9 possessions
were taken into consideration the
number would be much larger. Some
of the pr.ons Of Pennsylvania. Kan.
sas and Ohio show such shocking con.
ditions with reference to tuberculosis
that many wardens admit that these
places of detention are death traps.
Similar conditions could be found in
almost every state, and In the major.
ity Of cases the only sure remedy is
the destruction of the old buildings,
and the erection of new ones.

LAND OF THE soMBRERo.

Every Mexican likes to have a fine
hat or sombrero. These hats, with
high, pointed crowns and broad
brims, are sometimes made of costly
material and decorated with many
bands and buckles of gold and silver.
Then they weigh several pounds, and
cost, perhaps, two or three hundred
dollars. The plain sombreros are
worn by the poor Mexicans dwelling
in miserable huts in the country
places. Some Of these one-Toomed
homes are built OF large, sun-dried
adobe bricks. To live in one Of them
must seem like living in q box, for
each has a fat roof, dirt floor, no win
Gows and but one door.
These country people take their
produce to market on their backs, or
in o. carts, which have wheels made
of solid wood. The wealthy people Of
Mexico live in large beautifr' homes.
Outside these buildings look rather
plain, but inside they are very rich.
Usually, in the centre Of ine house.
there is a lovely garden, so that all
the rooms may open onto 1t. There
fountains play, birds sing and flowers
send forth their fragrance. In parts of
Mexico water is very hard to obtain.
Many people make q business Of SELL
ing 1t, going from house to house with
their large Jugs. Usually lie water
carrier has two long jars OF water
strapped to his head, but those who
are more fortunate carry the water
Ears in wheelbarrows. Next year
Mexico is going to celebrate the one
hundredth anniversary Of her inde-
pendence.
In that country there is a president.
just as there is in the United States.
President D!az, now about eighty
years old, is completing his seventh
term Of office, and it is likely that he
will again serve as president for the
people who live in the land Of the
Observation-Disclosures Star.
