SIGN OF DEATH.

Mexicans, yvhen 111, Abandon All Hope of Recovery When Dove’s Bong is Heard. what’s the matter? Fever? Die then, die then." That’s the song the doves sing down In Old Mexico when a native has pneumonia, and almost invariably he lies down, refuses to swallow the medicine prescribed by the physician, resigns himself to his fate and in a few weeks he dies. The dove, however, sings the song in Spanish. Dr. Charles M. Cunningham, a dentists of this city, has recently returned from a trip through the domain of President Diaz, and he tells some Interesting things about the quaint customs of the natives. It is a tradition among the Mexicans that once the fever accompanying an attack of pneumonia, seizes them it is necessarily fatal, and because of this all medicine and all physicians are refused and the Mexican usually dies. The dove brings the story of death in its weird cooing, according to the belief of the natives, and many who have —been seized with the fever who otherwise might have recovered have succumbed owing to their belief in the tradition. That is the reason, it is said, why pneumonia is fatal to so many Mexicans.

Dr. Cunningham visited the City of Mexico and was in the National Palace, the seat of government. Although Old Mexico has the name of being a republic its form of government is that in name only, he says, for the entire country is a one-man power, and the one man is President Diaz. - ;■ "Word is given out that certain state and municipal officials have been elected,” says Dr. Cunningham, “but really they have only been appointed, for Diaz and his colleagues see to it that only the friends of the president are chosen for office. The government is more by the military than by the people. They have a good soldiery, and the natives seem to be satisfied to have it thus.” One of the quaint customs to which the natives of Old Mexico still adhere is the practice of wearing blankets about them, even in the heat of summer. On June 24 Dr. Cunningham photographed a group of these ae they sat out in the sun and wrapped themselves in their warm blankets. Oxen are still in use throughout the country as beasts *of burden, and their service is equally as much in demand as are the donkeys, which are also extensively used. The driveways leading up to the National Palace, instead of being paved with cobblestones, as is customary in most places, are lined with the knee joints of goats. These animals are slaughtered for various purposes, and as no one has yet discovered another use for their knee bones they are thrown onto the driveways and form a rude vavement. On a festival day the town band of Etzatlan, a small village, * went through the streets in a wagon drawn by a team of oxen, making a picturesque scene. ——— Dr. Cunningham was called to Hostotipaquillo, where he did some dental work for some Americans interested in a mine near that place. It was for this purpose and to see a portion of the country that he made the trip.—lndianapolis Cor. New York Herald. - -.... =====

Nourishment in a Slice of Bread.

Bakers are sometimes to think that if they make a good loaf, that is all that is required of them. Few could say off-hand ’how much nourishment there is in a slice of bread. The information Is valuable, and so we give it. Dr. Franklin White, of the Harvard Medical School, recently delivered a lecture in which he stated that one slice of bread and butter was equivalent to a plate of baked beans, % of a glass of milk, 1% eggs, three slices of roasted beef, 16 oysters, 20 cups of beef tea, 2% apples, 1% oranges or two bananas. , , y In these days of “fad” foods It is Just as well to be primed with facts, and can be readily seen how this information will be worked up by bakers who rightly advertise in the local papers. Draw the editor's Attention to the statement, and he is sure to comment on it —to your advantage. These little items help amazingly in business. —Bakers’ Magazine.

Average Length of Life.

The man who lives till he is more than a century old and the child who dies in infancy are alike included in the law of averages. They balance each other’s chances as it were. Of 100,000 people living at the age of 10, only 95,614 will live to the age of 21, only 82,284 will be living at 40, only 49 will be living at 96, and only 9 at 97. At 30 the average man may take it that he has under 35 years to live; at 40, under 2*B years; at 50, under 21 years; at 60, under 14 years. In each and all of these cases how he lives will determine whether he will have a longer life or a shorter life, but the average will Infallibly work out within a space of •0 yearfe. A noted Belgian bacteriologist, Dr. Leon Bertrand, claims that he has discovered a much more powerful serum as a cure for pneumonia than that now in use. It Is a bactericidal, not an antitoxic agent . The oldest Roman Catholic College In the United Btales is Germantown College, Georgetown, D. C.

WHEN HEAT IS CONFINED.

Experiments Prove Electric Lamps Often Cause Fires. Incandescent electric lights have caused many fires because the heat generated by them becomes intense when confined. They are, therefore, dangerous in those coal mines where they have displaced other forms of lamps. A writer says: “Among miners, where the underground workings are lighted by electric incandescent 1 lamps, there is often a tendency to be careless in the handling of the lamps. As the light is not naked it is considered that the lamps may be laid down anywhere without fear or danger. Some experiments that have been carried out in England, however, prove the fallacy of this contention and show that an incandescent electric lamp is equally as dangerous if not properly handed as a naked light, t “Investigations of H. Hall, one of the British government inspectors of coal mines, showed that when a 16candle power lamp was covered with coal dust the generation of heat wa& so rapid that within four minutes a temperature of 450 degrees Fahrenheit was attained and the bulb burst. His the heat had risen to a certain point evidences of spontaneous combustion developed and, although the lamp was then removed from the coal, heat, generatibn still continued and finally the coal burst into flame.

Public Fault-Finding.

The ability to point out with disagreeable clearness social evils and public perils is not alone enough to entitle justly a man to any great amount of public esteem. Cassandras in breeches or petticoats are of no more real service today than in the heroic age, and the miracle about the lady herself was no so much that the Greeks paid no attention to her forebodings and warnings, but that some impa*tient hero who had wore to do did not wring her dismal neck. There has never been a time when our country has needed to have ideals of service made more fresh and attractiv, or when the real work of the world, done by its sane, healthy and kind-hearted workers, needed greater recognition. It is the good rather than the bad in us which needs encouragement and exposure, and if it once finds work to do, the bad In us will be far less noticeable or troublesome. It is a poor gardener who devotes too much time to the weeds at the expense of the vegetables and flowers. —Atlantic Monthly.

Electro Magnets.

The familiar horseshoe magnet is made of highly tempered steel and magnetized so that one end is a north po}e, the other a south, or pernaps more commonly known as a negative and a positive. Once magnetized it is always magnetic unless the power is drawn from it by exposure to intense heat. An electro-magnet, however, can be made from any scrap of soft iron, from a piece of ordinary telegraph wire to a gigantic iron shaft. When a current of electricity passes through an insulated wire coiled about’ a soft iron object, such as a nail, a bolt or a rod, that object becomes a magnet as long as a current of electricity is passing through the colls of wire or helix. A coil of wire in the form of a spiral spring has a strpnger field than a straight wire carrying the same current, for each turn or convolution adds its magnetic field to that of the other turns; and by having the center of the coil of iron, which is a magnetic body, the strength of the magnetism is greatly ihcreased.- :;; Bf.

Many Uses of Tea.

Hot tea will often relieve a sick stomache or a headache, Is restful and soothing to the nerves. Cold tea with ice and lemon Is almost ideal summer drink. Cold, weak tea cleans paint admirably, eevn white paint. It cleans men’s clothes, taking out spots. To clean black goods with tea, silk, satin or cashmere, sponge thoroughly and press with a hot iron on the wrong side. Tea colors lace that “old” color which is so much desired. Oreen tea will darken red hair, it is said. Tea leaves washed are very good to sprinkle on the carpet to lay the dust before starting in to sweep. Tea leaf poultices are good for weak or Inflamed eyes—Minneapolis Journal..

Where Grasshoppers Are Popular.

There is a regular business in Italy of making little wire cages for grasshoppers. The .insect is regarded as lucky and if one can be kept alive in the cage for a month It is believed the year will be prosperous, The superstition arose from this Incident: A cardinal of the Medici family invited a bishop to dine with him In bis garden. The cardinal handed the bishop a glass of wind. A grasshopper fell from a tree into the wine and the bishop did not drink it. The wine was afterward found to have been poisoned.

Restoring Pearis to Color.

It Is said that sonqe pearls that once belonged ot the la£e empress of Austria are now hanging in a hidden cage in the depths of , the Adriatic. The pearls had grown “sick," as every one who is familiar with the ways of pearls knows that they sometimes will, and this Is tne only way to revive them.

George Thornton did not get the Little Gem bakery started Monday according to his plans. He went to Fowler Sunday in an automobile and got a baker and the man worked- part of Monday, got out a few cake orders and was supposed to be busy making bread. George put in his time making ice cream and*when he went into the kitchen he found no baker, And he never got any track of him either. He had disappeared as completely as though he had been swept away In a cyclone. So there was nothing for Mr. Thornton to do but get another baker. He procured one Wednesday from Lafayette and the first bread will be baked for the Friday market. We are unloading, this week, another car of seed potatoes.
