The Globe Democrat prides itself on
having received in one day special tele-
grams amounting to over 60,000 words
regarding what leading Republicans
thought of Blaine’s withdrawal. Next
November it will have a grand oppor-
tunity to display its enterprize by ascer-
-taining just what these some Republi-
cans think of Cleveland’s re-election.
In about two months more the snow

Chief Justice Willie, of the Texas
supreme court, has resigned. His salary
was only $3500 a year, and he could

blames him? Until the public can pay as
much as private persons, it canrot expect
to compete with them. — Fort Worth

have the Republican nomination if it was
brought to mm on a silver plate. Phil,
evidently thinks that a fat Shanghai in

about in the blue empyrean and no salt

Texas and hell, that he would lease the
former and liye in the latter, but it ap-
pears that while the inhabitants of sheol

gorge rises when he contemplates the

Chas. E. Smith, ex-president of the
Reading railway company, was recently
before the congressional committee enga-
ged in investigating the Reading strike.
He testified he had withdrawn from the
road on account of the reckless manner
in which it,] was managed, and stated
• further that such management was solely
in the interest of stock gambling. He
prohesied that the road would be in the
hands of a receiver before a year. If
half he told was true it is about the rot-
teaest combination in America and
several of its principal officials should be
in the penitentiary.
Mb. Greenwall’s effort to keep Booth-
Barrett tickets out of the hands of specu
lators was a most lamentable failure. He
•controls several opera bouses, but he does
nut yet seem to have reached that point
of experience where he can distinguish a
speculator from any other person. There
ate people who blame Mr. Greenwall.
They should not do this. He cannot look
a man in the eye and tell whether he has
one or one hundred people in his family.
Mr. Greenwall is not to blame.—Dallas

Snoring and Dancing.
A pair of lunatics disturbed all the sane
dancers tremendously. Each put an arm
behind the other and each leaned back on
this support. This gave them a sort of
purchase so that they could whirl around
with their bodies leaning far outward
from each other.’ I have seen little girls
play at a game something like this in
effect, and go rushing around like small
windmills. This pair of dancers dashed
about among quieter couples in a most
headlong and ungraceful way. I saw one
or two couples simply stop dancing and
run away when they saw them coming. I
was told that this was a new kind of waltz
called the “Kensington whirl,” or some-
thing like that. It bears the same relation
to true dancing that snoring does to sleep-
ing.—Philadelphia North American.

Boorishness of Tourists—An American
Who Had Learned Wisdom—Politeness
to Ladies—Almost a Tragedy—A Severe
Test of Courtesy.
In their philanthropic and highly laud-
able efforts to reconstruct Mexico to suit
their own ideas of propriety, Americans
find their throats swell oftener, perhaps,
than for any other reason, at the exces-
sive degree of form and ceremony which
attends, it may be safely said, every trans-
action, great or small, in Mexico. It is a
great mistake, however, to set oneself in
opposition to these things. Mexicans,
like all Latin races, are sticklers for eti-
quette, and they class as rough and under-
bred people who ignore the superficial
forms of politeness. In Mexico one finds
a land where courtesy goes farther than
coin of the realm; and this with all ranks
and classes. Mark the street greeting of
Pelagio and Mercedes, two peladitos of
the lowest. _ " " “
and Mercedes puts out to him her hand,
horny and toil hardened, but friendly and
cordial.
“How do you do, Don Pelagio? How
did you pass the night? How is your wife
—the children—are they well?”
“Ah, Dona Merceditas! I am glad to
see you. And how is your good family?
I hope you have no illness or trouble.
Will it please you to make to them all my
humble greetings?”
Poor, half starved, dirty, miserably clad
in’rags that scarcely cover their nakedness,
these poor creatures still practice an un-
failing courtesy that I have too often found
lacking among our parvenu aristocrats,
sitting aloft on their money bags. And
they responded, too, to this trait in their
superiors more readily than to the chink
of tlacos. This is practically demonstrated
wherever in Mexico Americans do congre-
gate. A little group will be gathered on
acornc1’, aquadores, public carriers, mozos,
what y. a will, and an American will come
rushing .ast. A block away can be read
in his e; the intention to rush through
that gro;. of low born mortals, who are
certainly . . and ignorant, but who are
neverthelv -• entitled to the rights and
privilege.-.; <,1 all humanity. Does he scat-
ter them in < -.tapult fashion really? Ah,
no! The mv i of the cargador—a heavy
leathern cus. 'on, on which the carrier
supports his burden, strikes him some-
how carelessly, but with almost force
enough to knock him breathless. The
aquador slops some water out of a brim-
ming chococol over his worship’s natty
garments, and his shoulder will be black
and blue for a fortnight from the force of
his collision with the sturdy mozo. By
stepping into the gutter he manages to
pass them, breathless and raging. They
look at each other complacently, grin
silently and fall into place again as an-
other gringo approaches. But this one
did not come to Mexico the day before
yesterday. He slackens his pace slightly
as he comes near them, perhaps touches
his hat, perhaps waves his hand in token
of greeting, and says cheerily: “Con su
licencia”—“by your leave.” The ranks
fail open, a hat or two is snatched off,
with “Base usted, seno amo”—“pass, my
master”—and perhaps a sandaled foot is
thrust out to rub away a splotch of mud
on the pavement that might soil the shoes
of this courteous foreigner.
When I first went to the City of Mexico
I was quite ill, and so feverish that I used
to stop at every pila or public fountain I
passed in exploring the suburbs, where
dwell the masses—the most interesting
part of the city to the humanitarian. If
I chanced to have forgotten my traveling
cup, I used to dip up the water like the
Bhagbhati of Edwin Arnold’s “Mill
Song”—“in my hollowed palm”—and
that would always be the signal for a
rush of women offering me little jarras—
ear them jugs—to drink from, and often
of men of the lowest orders from horrible
pulque shops, tendering a glass at which
they rubbed assiduously to make it spot-
less. This was no question of a tip, as I
learned after one or two blunders—it was
kindliness pure and simple, quite differ-
ent from the services for which payment
is expected, and, if withheld, greedily de-
manded. And I am sure that only the
Irish peasantry could turn compliments
as neat as those bestowed on me in return
for the simple acknowledgment with
which I soon learned to requite them.
Again, I one night came out of Orrin’s
(the permanent American circus in Mex-
ico) and two men of the canalla obstructed
the'walk. My escort imnatiently caught
one of them by the shoulder and slung
him aside for me to pass. Some instinct
impelled me to glance past my friend’s
shoulder, and I saw a big knife descend-
ing about six inches from the shoulder
blade of the American. I threw all my
weight on his arm and jerked him aside so
far that the blow missed him. At the
same moment the other lepero caught his
comrade’s arm and cried:
“You fool, don’t you see the lady?”
“Oh!” said the would be assassin, “it
was for a lady he shoved me, was it?
That’s all right, then. I didn’t see her—
usted perdone” (beg pardon), and he went
on, feeling no affront if it were suffered
for a lady.
When such traits exist among the lower
classes, it can readily be seen what super-
lative polish of manner must prevail
among the higher. It cost me no little
mental self flagellation to learn to say
“Pray cover yourself” to a gentleman who
should pause to greet me, and I remember
more than one pang I have felt at having
left this to be said by my escort to men
whose silver locks streamed on a bleak
wind or were moistened by a small rain,
yet who would not replace the hat with-
out instigation. And no greater test than
this could be offered of a Mexican’s punc-
tilious courtesy, careful as they are on all
hygienic matters.—Y. H. Addis in San
Francisco Chronicle.
the oldest and most trustworthy on the
lead, the others in pairs on either side of
his line; a dozen constituting a full team,
and the whole being controlled by a driver
who runs beside them, wielding a whip
with a lash thirty feet long, which, in his
hands, can take a tuft of hair out of the
most distant dog, with unfailing accuracy.
Where there is no beaten track some one
must precede the dogs to show them the
way, but on a well defined route they will
trot along merrily by themselves at the
rate of five or six miles an hour.
Often, when a pause is made for rest ot-
to ice the runners of the sledge, a discus-
sion will arise among the dogs as to
whether all are pulling their fair share.
From barks they soon come to bites,, and
a scrimmage ensues which would cast the
liveliest corner of Donnybrook Fair into
the shade; the dancing driver with his
cracking whip, the snarling, struggling
dogs entangled in their traces, and the
overturned sled combine to make up a
scene that defies description.—J. Macdon-
ald Oxley in American Magazine.

“Stained Glass” from Paper.
A pane made of white paper manu-
factured from cotton or linen and modi-
fied by chemical action, is the newest in-
vention for stained windows. The paper
so prepared is dipped into a preparation
of alcohol and camphor, which makes it
like parchment. From this point it can
be molded and cut into remarkably tough
sheets, entirely translucent, and it can
be dyed with almost the whole analine
colors, the result being a translucent
sheet showing far more vivid hues than
the best glass exhibits.—New York Sun.
English Remedy for Woolly Aphis.
An English authority gives assurance
that tluj following is an infallible remedy
for the woolly aphis on fruit trees: “Mix a
pint of gas tar with a pint of dry powdered
clay, add gradually a gallon of war-m, soft
water until the whole is convened into a
paste; this should be applied to the trees
by means of a brush during winter; it de-
stroys all insect life and does not harm
the trees. ’ ’

Doctors Dying Out.
Accustomed as we are in America to
the overcrowding of the professions, as if
by a. law of nature, it seems scarcely con-
ceivable that in a country like France the
numbers of the medical profession are
actually diminishing, notwithstanding the
increase of population. In the four years
1883-6 the number of diplomas annually
granted by the medical schools of Franc e
Steadily diminished from 662 to 546, while
the number of physicians was also as
steadily reduced, of course, by retirement
and death. The phenomenon is partlj
explained by the circumstances that the
falling off is in the rural districts, where
French thrift* with penury and “proprie-
tary medicines, ’ ’ would naturally tend to
starve out the practitioner.—Medical

Made Productive by Irrigation.
A young New Englander, who went out
to Colorado a few years ago to engage in
cultivating the soil, remarked here the
other day that it was for a long time in-
comprehensible to him that what was ap-
parently the most barren and sterile land
in that country became the most pro-
ductive by irrigation. “It was only by
hard study and investigation,” said he,
“that I at last became satisfied as to the
process of nature by which this result was
brought about. Farms taken up in the
sage brush looked unpromising enough,
but with watering became immensely pro-
ductive. The soil was full of alkali. The
action of the water was to decompose it
and convert it into a fertilizer. It was
literally a ‘Presto change, ’ and almost in
a night the result was effected. Such land
continues productive right along, if prop-
erly cultivated, and yields in rotation
crops of oats, barley, potatoes, wheat,
grass and vegetables the same as else-
where. It is for reclaiming these waste
lands that immense irrigating canals have
been built, one of them nearly 100 miles
long, to bring the water clown from the
mountains.”—New York Tribune.

A Landlady Tells Why They Are Unde-
sirable as Lodgers—Not Businesslike.
“What is the matter that women who
have no home find it so difficult to obtain
what passes for one even by paying for it?
What advantage has a man over a woman
as roomer or boarder? I am beginning to
find the burden of my woman’s estate too
heavy to bear. I have hitherto considered
it very enjoyable and. honorable, but the
experience of the last three days has made
me willing to change places with the veri-
est wretch that ever wore trousers. Now,
will you, out of your own experience and
observation, solve this mystery, for "you
do not seem like one to hold an unauthor-
ized opinion?”
“Of course,” replied the lady, “there
are boarders and boarders just as there
are landladies and landladies. For my
part I like ladies in the house. Every
house is pleasanter and should be the bet-
ter for their presence. But the fact re-
mains that they are more trouble than
men. When they are in their rooms all
day, where they have a right to be, they
are generally wanting something not in
the bond. They—I am talking now of
the careless, selfish, or simply inconsid-
erate ones—insist upon extra service; they
will ring for the girl to come up three
flights of stairs to put a lump of coal on
the grate, to open a window or shut it, or
to find their nightdress. They’ll go into
the bathroom, even those who have no
need to economize, and wash out all sorts
of things, laces and handkerchiefs and
stockings; this in time fills up the waste
pipe with shreds and ravelings, and the
end thereof is a plumber’s bill. They
will either ring for a flatiron or else they
will come down into the kitchen with
their trailing skirts and attend to the
pressing out of their gowns there. They
will bother the girl, want a little more
fire and an ironing board, a little starch
and a holder, and it will frequently end
by the girl offering to do the work for
them just to get them out of the way.
They want a little thread, or a darning
needle, or a teaspoon, or some mustard,
or table salt, or camphor. It seems to me
there’s nothing from a ■ pin to a porous
plaster that I have not been asked for by
my lady lodgers.
“They want frequent changes made in
the arrangements of their room. The bed
doesn’t stand the right way, the curtains
are too thin or too thick, the back of the
rocking chair is too high or too low. They
lose their pass keys and burn the gas to
heat curling irons and pipe stems where-
with to curl their hair. They receive
calls, properly enough, but they forget
that it requires the time of the servant to
answer the bells for these callers. And as
women spend money less freely than men
they do not consider that extra service
should receive extra pay. If the truth
must be told, I find it much easier and
more pleasant to transact business—from
small matters to greater ones—with a man
than with a woman. Women are not
businesslike, and they will pay $20 for a
bonnet willingly and haggle over a wash
bill. Again, in a house full of lady lodgers
or boarders there are occasional strifes
and envyings, jealousies and gossipings
not pleasant. These are a few of the rea-
sons why women are considered undesir-
able as lodgers and boarders.”—Carlotta
Perry in Chicago Tribune.

A Recently Invented Paper.
A paper that resists the action of both
fire and water has been recently invented
in Germany. From a literary point of
view this is a barbarous cruelty, for the
only thing that mitigates the flood of
books and papers is the hope that they
will soon be burned or turned into wrap-
ping paper.—Pittsburg Bulletin.
The morning paper located on Me-
chanic street tells the colored people that
if they want to go to South America to
get up and clear out, that the South can
spare them. This is cool, certainly. Of
course the South can get along without
them and there is no string tied to them,
but does the morning sewing machine
circular discharge its duty as a public
educator by leaning back on its dignity
and telling the colored people to do as
they please in this-matter —that nobody
cares whether they go or stay? It takes
column after column, day after day, to
advise the legislators at Washington re-
garding their duty; it counsels the state
officials, the business men, the farmers
and the politicians, but' it has not one
word of advice to the tens of thousands
of colored people besieged by the oily-
toaguea exodus agents. The Tribune’s
advice to the colored people of Texas is
to be sure they will better themselves be-
fore leaving Texas for South America or
anywhere else, and not to rely upon the
promises of agents, who may possibly not

brious, is it not?” he asked. “Salubri-
ous !” repeated the enthusiastic citizen of
that state; “why, stranger, we have
mosquitoes in January. But, alas! we
have no E. 8. Wood & Sons selling heat-
ing stoves from $2.50 up to $75. Alas!”
and he soothed his woe with another
drink of Jersey lightning. o
Protection Against Cold.
It is well known that paper is a great
protection against the cold. On the fron-
tier miners and woodsmen preserve large
sheets of wrapping paper and nev spapers
to put between the covering blankets
when there is an insufficiency of bed cov-
ering in the hotels or camps. An excel-
lent protection out of doors for the chest
when wearing the dress suit, -with the low
cut vest exposing a portion that is gen-
erally well covered by the fashionable
high cut coat and vest, is a few folds of
paper underneath the overcoat. Many
roadsters in driving put a few folds of
paper across the chest underneath the
overcoat as well as at the back, and find
effectual protection against the cold winds
that prevail at this season. The paper is
like a wall in completely protecting the
wearer.—New York Times.

Too Much Good Luek.
“If you ever happen to find a silver
dollar in the course of your travels, you
let it lie right where it is when you see
it,” said a jolly young broker.
“Coming down on the elevated a few
days ago,” he continued, “I noticed some-
thing bright wedged in between the bas-
ketwork seat to the wooden arm. I poked
it out with my knife blade and found my
prize to be a silver dollar. I had never
found 'any money before, and I felt so
good that when I got off the train I
stepped into a cigar store and bought
four cigars for $1, instead of three
for a quarter, as usual. That
noon\ at luncheon I felt aw-
fully thirsty, and, being $1 ahead, I
ordered a bottle of claret. Later, buoyed
up by the same thought, I asked the boys
to take something, and the round cost me
ninety cents. When it came time to go
home the elevated trains were crowded, so
I thought I’d spend my dollar for a han-
som cab and drive home, stopping at a
theatre, where, on account of my find, I
bought tickets of a speculator instead of
at the office. I told my wife about my
luck and showed her the identical dollar,
which I had saved. She was delighted,
and insisted upon having the piece
Off goes the hat of Pelagio smoothed off on one side and the place
and date of my good fortune inscribed
thereon, the carrying out of which conceit
cost me $2.50. Altogether, I should
think my find cost me nearly $10; so take
my advice, and if you run across any stray
dollars don’t pick ’em up.”—New York
Sun.
