Funny Thlnv That au Intoxicated Man Will Sometime Do. New Orleans Times-Democrat. "Besides the strange impulses and the paradoxical things which are concomitants of drunkenness 1 can think of nothing else so remarkable as the humor of a sound, vigorous, well-developed Jag," said a worldlywise man. "When under the influence of liquor men do strenuous things. Some .are violent. Some are gentle as au April morn ami as docile as a pet fawn. Some are as vicious as man-eating hyenas. Some are witty, frivolous and playful; others are serious, profound and thoughtful. Some are gentlemanly, painfully jxilite, disgustingly courteous; others are brutal, coarse, gruff and tilled with hate and scorn. It has been said that llciuor has the same effect, on every person and yet affects every person differently. It probably intensities the natural human impulses, develops them to their highest degree and these Impulses coffering as between any two persons, of course, the paradox would be proven. Yqt there 13 another phase of a jag, not bordering so closely on the abstruse, that is interesting and amusing to me. It is that phase which involves a fixed purpose to do a thing which was planned before taking tho first drink. It is remarkable how this purpose will stick to the man throughout all the stages of the Jag. I once knew a man whose wife told him before he left home to buy her ten yards of bod-ticklng. He knew if he forgot it his better half would take him severely to task. He remembered it so well that before the day was over he had bought eighty yards of bed-ticking. Every time he came to a dry good store he bought ten yards of the gKds his wife had told him to set. Of course, he had to keep it. But stranger than this was another Case that came under my observation. A briht-faced tot, after kissing his father as he left the house, asked him to bring some giuger cakei home. So firmly was this purpose fixed in the fond father's mind hat he bought about twentypounds of giuger cakes before he got home. He started by buying a nickel's worth. Later he increased it until he finally ordered a ten-pound box sent to his house. By the time he reached horn the young hopeful had enough ginger cakes to supply a good-sized community. These two cases 1 know of, and doubtless the average man can relate the same sort of story. It is simply one of the phases of a Jag. and the Jag, you know, is not an uninteresting part of modern civilization viewed from several standpoints." Wnnt a Share of 15,000,M0. ST. JOSEPH. Mo., Oct. 11. In answer to a suit tiled In the Federal Court by Mrs. C. O.

"I saw something distinctly unique in the way of feminine er I was going to eay swinishness, but I'll let it go at selfishness," said a Washlngtonlan who is notorious for the infrequency with which he emits, sounds from his facial orifice unless he has occasion to say something. "I boarded an incoming F-street car over in Georgetown, taking the outside position of the only vacant seat. A couple of squares later on a square-Jawed woman with a tip-tilted nose 1 immediately recognized her as a skirted person whose portrait I had often seen printed in the newspapers in connection with the mothers' congresses and other outfits of that character started to board the car at the spot where I was sitting. If I ever was an end-seat hog I cut out being one a long time ago, and so I moved over and let her take the outside seat. She be-stow-ed upon me a sort of smile of disdain, as much as to say: 'What a mark and a good thing you are. to be sure" and I could observe how acutely she enjoyed the shadow of gloom which crossed the conductor's face when she gave him 5 pennies as fare. "At the very next corner a very old, blind woman started to get into our seat all of the others were nearly full, but as yet that seat of ours held only two. I moved over to the third place, and I naturally expected that the square-Jawed woman to whom I had surrendered the outside scat would, in her turn, move over and make room on the outside for the old woman with crutches. Did she? Well, not any more than Helen of Troy ever took in washing or Cleopatra made a business of picking up carpet rags, did she. Wonse than that, she barely scroonched in to let the old woman with the crutches by. There was, at that, a spiteful look on her map over the fact that the crippled old woman had had the nerve to want to get into the seat at all. Two corners farther on an old palsied man, dressed In the old style, with high collar and stock and all that, saw the vacant space In that seat of ours, and he, too, had to struggle as best he could past the square-jawed woman to whom I had so freely passed over the end seat. The old woman with crutches and I pushed over and made room for the old man next to the just nachully mean woman on the outside. "But something always happens to give people of her sort a dent. When the car reached Fourteenth street and New York avenue a robust, middle aged woman with a market basket saw that there were only four in our seat and that all of the rest of the seats held live. She swung herself on board with her basket held over her arm The woman on the outside glared at her. " 'There's no room in this seat,' she snapped, angrily, at the woman with the market basket. "The latter regarded the mean woman with an expression of calm surprise for a moment. Then she said: " 'They hain't, hey? Well, you don't never want t' git no sech idee as that-a-one in your pighead, Cynthia there's room right where you're slttin' this minnit, and that'll be good enough for me,' and she deliberately pushed the mean woman over and crushed herself into the outside position and I never felt so much like applauding out of a theater as I did right then. "It's easy to see what kind of training you have had,' snarled the woman who had been so effectively displaced. " 'You needn't lose no sleep botherin' 'bout my renrinY was the calm reply of the woman with the market basket, 'hknow one place where I wasn't raised and that's a hojrpen. and that's a heap more'n can be said by a hull lot of pashayln female critters what go a-tiatin' up an down makin' holy shows o' their manners.' "The mean -woman left the car at Ninth street, with her tip-tiled nose still in the air. Rut she was carrying the loser-out's pennant all the same." CHOOSING SEATS. How It Is Managed in Congress and . the Senate. Walter Wellman, In Success. When a new Congress meets there is a lottery for the choice of seats. The newest and freshest member from a backwoods district may be the lucky man to have his name drawn from the box by the blindfolded page aud to have first choice of all the seats i.i the great hall. The veteran of half a score of congresses, a man of power and note, may be the last of the long line and forced to content himself with a perch In the extreme rear. This Is democracy with a vengeauce, and. of course, it would never do for the aristocratic upper branch. There the senator who gets a good seat keeps It as long ns he remains a senator. Sp-ch men as Allison. Hale, Hoar. Cullom. and others have wt all the way from ten to tweuty-five years at one desk. When an old senator with an advantageously located, peat drops out through death or failure to secure re-election, some other senator from the rear applies for his seat aud gets It. the rule being "first come, lint served," Jfew sen

ators are compelled to take the less desirable desks in the rear of the chamber to await their turn for a chance at better ones. Thus in the Senate there is a slow, but steady movement from the rear toward the front of the chamber a movement highly suggestive of the senatorial system based upon prerogative and precedence. Even more striking is the method of assigning senators to places upon committees. Here again prerogative is everything. If the chairman of a committee dies or leaves the Senate the man of the majority political party who has served longest ujon that committee becomes his successor. The rule Is invariable, though of course complications occasionally arise. If the senior committeeman is chairman of another important committee, be may bo compelled to surrender one or the other.

INDIANS CTRIOUS RELICS. Ancient Brass Plates and a Peace Treaty Carefully Guarded. Kansas City Journal. According to Charles Gibsou, Indian journalist of Eufaula, the two most sacred relics of the Creek or Muskogee tribe are in the keeping of the To-ka-par-chee clan. One of them is the treaty made between the Indiaus and Great Britain in the time of George II. Wrhen a custodian of the relic Is dylug ho appoints his successor by will. The Indians look upon this relic as next to brass or copper plates that To-ka-par-chees own these plates are hard to describe as they are kept in a very sacred vault where none are allowed to enter except the medicine man or some old chief. The history of these plates Is as follows: One old medicine man who had been noted for being the greatest among the Creeks, before dying, told some of the other medicine men that so many days after the day of hi3 death, ir they would meet him on the highest mountain peak naming the mountain he would bring them something very sacred aud it would strengthen their medlciue and add to their happiness. The medicine men then appointed a day and waited. When the last stick was thrown away each wended his way to the top of the mouutain. They waited long and well. When the sun became low in the west a great snake come from the west' and darkened the country around about the mountaiu. The medicine men were frightened, but stood their ground. Then came clapsvof thunder and flashes of lightning that almost blinded the old men. Then a dark cloud appeared, and all at once there appeared out of the dark cloud a bundle, which was handed to the old men. The hands holding the bundle were all that could be seen, "and resembled the, hands of the old medicine man who had died. As soon as the package containing the plates was delivered the cloud moved away and there was a clear sky. The old men took their charge back to their square house and hid It until the time of their annual celebration, or green corn dauce, when the plates were introduced Into their festivities. That is some thousand years ago, and they are still la possession of the Creeks. The custodians of these plates are what are called the wild clan. There are a great many of these plates, and the largest ones have characters of some kind on them. They are exhibited only on state occasions, once a year. Each one has a beautiful sound or ring. It is said, when they are used In the dance, making sweet music. After the dance they are taken out, one to each man, and are scoured very bright and placed away until . the next year. It is said that in the polishing process the work hands are very cautious, as It is known that the least slip will result in sure loss of the plate, as it is said the plates are supposed to be part turtle or fish, , as they came to the Creeks through a cloud or mist, aud will dart here and there if let loose Iu the water, and will get away.

MEXICAN MINING LAWS

ARE FAIR TO THE INVESTOR IF HE TAKES PROPER PRECAUTIONS. Americans. However, Shonld Not Assume to "Know It All," hut Shonld Employ Xntlve Aid. Correspondence f th? Indianapolis Journal. NACO. Sonora, Mex.; Oct. 7. Millions of dollars in hard cash are being invested by Americans in Mexican mines, prospects and frauds every month of the year. The influx of capital Is increasing, rather than growing less. Many of the American Investors are securing good mines at fair prices; a larger number are getting prospects, the values of which remain to be determined, while a considerable proportion are putting their money where there is little likelihood that they will ever see any part of it again. A consideration of the more salient features of Mexican mining laws and customs may be of value, in view of the steady stream of golden dollars that is flowing In this side of the international line. It is useless to consider the mining fakers. They infest every mining district, and their ways are so different here from the ways of their brothers in Colorado, Utah, California, and every other mining State. Most of the Mexican mining frauds are carried out by Americans. The natives have a fair percentage of dishonest men, but they are not, as a rule, educated up to the high point of the Yankee grafters,,, who have made a profound study of the science of lying and stealing so as to reap a rich pecuniary reward and yet escape the penitentiaries they so richly deserve. Human nature Is pretty much the same In Mexico, as in any other part of the world. The man who believes everybody honest will be robbed, and the man who believes everybody dishonest will suspect many honorable men without cause. The same rules of common business prudence will apply here in the making of investments as would hold good in any part of the United States. One of the most common mistakes of the American investor and prospector is a supreme confidence in his own ability and disdain for the native inhabitants, because they are of dark complexion and speak Spanish evidence of Inferiority, to the mind, of the cock-sure "griugo." The wise man will remember that local conditions are never quite the same In any two mining districts, and he who is willing to learn from the experience of men thoroughly acquainted with tho ground may save himself much trouble. The average Mexican miner cannot or will not do as much work in a day as the white miners of the United States, but he is far superior to the coolie, and is as shrewd a Judge of mineral values as can be found in any country. Ills methods of minlug are very crude, and he has to be broken in gradually to the American system, but the certainty with which experienced native miners can judge the mineral values of any given ore is a surprise to practical miners from the United States. SHOULD COMPLY WITH LAWS. The prospector or investor in Mexico should determine from the start to comply with the Mexican laws. He will save much trouble by doing so, and will acquire the friendship of the authorities, which is a valuable asset in a country where there is no trial by jury, and a foreigner obnoxious to the government officials might as well pack up and leave. The Mexican mining laws are not perfect, but on the whole give greater security to the mine owner than do those of the United States. There is more red tape about the law In Mexico than In the United States, and more delay. This is the land of manana to-morrow and of pasada manana which Is day after to-morrow, and very distant Indeed. While some of the requirements seem trivial, and are certainly vexatious and apparently unnecessary, it is best to meet them fully. A Mexican lawyer is apt to be very deliberative in his actions, but it pays to engage his services. The man who tries to pilot his own fortunes through the mazes of Mexican law, on the strength of a colloquial knowledge of Spanish, is taking a great many chances of tangling himself up in a way that will cost him sorely in case he has a good property. The man who intends engaging in a fraudulent mining deal in Mexico had better remain in New York or Chicago and do his business through an agent. Fraudulent promoters are given no mercy in Mexico, where they are considered as vermin and treated as such. Deference to the prejudices of the countries from which these gentry hail may prevent their being shot by the native authorities, but the rascals will wish they were dead before they are clear of the Mexican Jails: There should be one Mexican Jail in every large American city for the benefit of mine promoters who are tempted to go wrong. The unit of Mexican mining claims is the pertenencla, which is one hectarea of 100 meters square, area 2.47 acres. Prospectors may denounce any mining lands that is, notify the government of their Intention to take such lands and are given several months in which the claims denounced will be htid for them. The mining lands are never patented to the claimant, as in the United States, but may be held as long as taxes are paid after title Is secured. The tax Is 510 per year, Mexican, for each pertenencla, payable in three annual Installments every four months, but advance payments can be made by the year. Agricultural lands can be denounced for mining purposes, but the miner must recompense the owner for any damages. Thera are certain requirements in connection with the denunciation of claims and the following steps to secure title, that it would be a mistaken kindness to pit in print. The prospector or investor should engage a competent Mexican lawyer or a mining engineer well versed in Mexican law and the Spanish language to attend to this work, for if carelessly done it may leave a flaw in titles that will prove very costly to remedy, if indeed the property be not lost entirely, in case it proves valuable. HOW TO SECURE TITLE. There are no extra lateral rights under the Mexican mining laws. The holder of title to a Mexican pertenencla owns everything of a mining nature down to the center of the earth. The surface of the land may or may not be held by the owner of the mineral rights. All mineral rights are reserved by the government, and all Mexican mines are held by their owners subject to regular payment of the tax of $10 per pertenencla per year, nonpayment of which works forfeiture, regardless of length of time of possession. Surveys must be made of all mining claims before title can be gained. Owing to the lack of general surveys in most mining sections the engineering work must be carefully done, claims being tied on to some prominent natural landmark. As a rule the Mexican surveys are very well done. Five months to a year are required to secure title, after denouncement, and a friend at court can always expedite matters. A good attorney or an experienced mining engineer can well earn a good fee In seeing that the work Is done properly and with reasonable dispatch, while the self-confident party will get mired before half way through a modern instance of the race between the tortoise and the hare. There are various stamp taxes and fees, but the total cost of securing a sound government title is not excessive. It requires an experienced pilot to secure vslid titles to mining lands, but once secured the title is far safer than in any part of the United States where mining is governed by the Federal laws. Forfeiture can only be worked by gross carelessness in failing to pay the pertenencla taxes promptly. Taxes are of numerous varieties in Mexico. No single tax is very large, but there are so many that they aggregate a considerable percentage on the value of mine production. There are taxes for both state and federal governments on all gold and silver exported, aggregating 10 to 12 per cent, on gross production. The Import duties on mining machinery and supplies, which must be brought in from the United States or Europe, are high and must be taken into consideration. In fact, the promoters of Mexican mining companies should, if honest, give careful consideration to the question of taxation, state and federal, when figuring probable costs. Knowledge of the Spanish tongue is quickly acquired by any diligent student, and should be possessed by nnv person Intending to mine In Mtxico. It is not Indispensable, but is very valuable.

HORACE J. STEVENS. The Slost Deadly Reptil. McClure'3 Magazine. Snakes venomous enakes may b divided into two classes, the cobras and the viperolds.. The cobras, inhabitants of distant India, form a class apart. To the viperolds belong all other venomous species, including our own splendid rattler, tha moccasin, the fer de lance of the West Indies and the deadly bushmaster of Venezuela and the Gutanas Diametrically opposite, though equally fatal, are the effects of the cobra and the vlperoid poison. Diametrically opposite, also, are the two methods of attack. The cobra at times is aggressive, the king cobra being said even to pursue man. Silent, without the least warning, and from a place where you would least suspect, the round head darts out of a thicket, a sharp pain causes you to exclaim, and the frightful fangs of the snake are buried in your flesh. LJke the grip of a bulldog they hold fast whllo from live to ten feet of animated cable come stretching out of the thicket to coil leisurely beneath the dread head. For this eternal hold on the victim there is a natural reason. The fangs of the teufoot cobra are but a third of an inch long. It is impossible, therefore, to squirt the venom deep in a single stroke. In order to give the venom time to absorb the snake must retain its hold. The fatal poison contains about 95 per cent, of nerve-destroying end about 5 per cent, of blood-destroying elements. Within live minutes the pain leaves the wound and even the shock of the attack begins to wear off. There is little suffering, nor will there bo to the relentless end. Only, if by chance tho bite is one from a email snake or if a fresh supply of antitoxin happens to bo at hand Is there a chance for your life. If one recovers from the immediate effects within a week one Is as healthy as ever. While the poison of the cobra often kills "within an hour, there have been cases whre the "strike" of a rattlesnake and a bushmaster have caused death within ten minutes. Naturalists accept, however, that the king cobra, owing to its great size and the consequent quantity and quality of poison emitted. Is the most dangerous of all the snakes. A Brother and Sister in Politics.New York Letter. The political situation has produced a curious tangle in the Chanler ftmily, that branch of the Astors distinguished not only for wealth, but remarkable intellectuality. William Astor Chanler, former Tammany congressman from the Fourteenth district, is the closest friend and supporter of Georgs B. McClellan. the Tiger's candidate for the mayoralty. His sister. Miss Margaret Astor Chanler, is the most prominent leader in the woman's campaign for Low. Captain Chanler has a war record; so has his sister. He was a hero of Santiago; 6h was decorated by Congress for her servics as a Red Cross nurse at the front. While William Astor Chanler spent the eventful Thursday of last week with McClelland, remaining with him till he was notified of his nomination. Miss Chanler called her forces together and rallied them for the campaign. "Mayor Low, she said, in a stirring speech, "is the best mayor New York has had for 200 years. I ask the women of this municipal league to see to It that all the men you know register, and that none of 3-our friends give house parties on election day." John F. Richardson, superintendent of the Western district for the Pullman Pal ace Car Company, died in his home in Omaha Sunday c cerebral hemorrhage.
