MEXICO'S FEASANT (jIRL
FASCINATING PICTURESQUENES3 Of4 THE MEXICAN MUCHACHA.
The Feminine Representative of a Boman tic Kace—Her Simplicity of Costume—Sly CoquettUHuess—Marriod and a Housekeeper—Skill as a Cook-
In the more unfrequented portions of this republic th) peasant girl is seen in all her primitive simplicity. As the lumbering stage-coach, with its dozen pzszzn ^era. slacko.is up at the adobe gate of some hacienda, and the drivor shouts his Buenoi Dias! 'iv words of greeting, th-j first to issue from ths gray-walled ha.:ienda is a Mexican mucbacba. True to tha vein of curiosity which forms a fiber oi the ft?miaino h-art ever s.n -e tbe day that curiosity led Mother Evo to taste tha forbidden fruit, tha muchacha must set who are tae now arrivals. fibe stands at the great gate of the badenJa shyly watching the newcomers. She is but a develop® cnild simple, pictures) uo, content one whose faue is not frecklei, whose limb* are not attenuate! and nover know the manacling of a sto king. Her hair is not golden hir ftot are bare, and tha two long braids of jetty hair failing behind are caught at the ends with tbe inevitable bit ol bright ribbon. When gponlrtng shj generally catches the braids and flings them over her breast and her brown, bar a shoulders. She wears no Pompadour, no Grecian coil, and no bangs, but ku-r hair, parted in the middle, is as glossy and black as the famous at/abatcho of her native bilL. She wears only a short skirt, And that intimau-, low-cut vesture of white 'texture and scant pattern so well known and feldoin mentioned, which hangs suspended from h^r nut-brown shoulders, and is caught insid the skirt beforj it is gath 'rtd in at the waht Sli'j is entirely uncons.iom of want of further clothing

A KOMAirTIO RACE.
Among the different types of women in America none is more anique than the Mexican muchacha for sho is a woman governed rather by the characteristics of a race thau by the sb& jkies of education, oo-iuetti-sh from instinct, graceful because natural. Tha traveler rememlxjr well a creature who watched him with less of inquisitive curiosity than sly coqunttishneas in those very black eyes. But beyond the more attraction of her glances ar.5 the assostations whi ,'li environ that creature, fche is the representation of a romantic race whose civilization, cooval with tho palmie3t days of Egypt and Persia, partaio strangely of tho Orient. Like her sister ou tho Ganges, tho Nile, and the Euphrates, shj make* her tortillas or unlsavened bread she carriei wutor on her head a gracefully as Rebecca, and spins like i'enelopa.
But her race has bent below the fluttering of a croi( emblazoned Hag, which, wherever it has gone, has left behind it a trail oi desotion. it was beneath that Ca-tilian tag that tho native American woman became Spanish in the olden time of strength and ooiiquest and unchanged in manner, appouraiice, or taste, she has acquired the new oburaotoristic coquetry so essentially Bptni^h. While tho pretty oval fa e, the bright block eyes, and the quick, glib tongue of tho Mexican muchacha is tho same ns it was &di) or 1,000 years ago, sho has attained other characteristics brought to liar by tho ehivalrle soldiers of Cortez.

Her domestic system may be primitive She has no ohairs, no closets, no sto.es, no tin or glassware, and no soap.

Tho great nat.ooal dish, frijoles—boans—is not prepared by her as it would be by her goUon-baired and bluo-eyod Boston sister— with rich morsels of pork.

Young Filly That Was Bought 93ftO—Her Wonderful Record. The soc.'ety columns of a Cincinnati paper not long since contained the following: -Miss Maud Stone entertained a number ol her youug friends at her father's elegant home in the east end one night last week." I think I hear you say: "Well, I don't see anything in a notice like that" There is not, only the young lady mentioned is the one the fastest trotter in the world was named for. Her father had purchased a young tiliy from a gentleman named Bugher for $3«U Not Ion? after he took a friend out to Chester park to look at some racing stock. The iilly was in tha "infield," and as they walked toward the stable Capt. Stone said: "There is a young filly I bought th? other day and I think she has a turn of speed."
His friend looked her over, and, liking her points, remarked: "Start her up and let's see how she moves." Taking ol his silk hat, tbe captain rattled it with his hand and ths fine young animal started off at a three-minute cliix "Why, she's a natural trotter," was the comment "She is, indeed," repiiad the captain, with a commendable ide in his purchase. "I wish I know a good name for her," he added. "Why not call her after one of your children f" aske 1 the friend. "I had not thought of that," was the rep'.y as they walked away. The friend thought no mora of tho filly for about two weeks, when ho met Capt. Stone coming out of tbe postofflce. "Hello," said he I have just acted on your suggestion, and have just posted the letter claiming the name for my Ally. I am going to call hor after my daughter Maud." "Maud Stone will be a protty name," responded tho friond. "Oh! I'll not call her the fuH name," replied tho captain with a blush: "You sjo, she'll mature before my daughter, and I wouldn't like to see her full name on a race card, so I havo called her Maud K" After the Ally made her great record at Lexington she was sold to W. H. Vandarbilt ror -.winuiw iw— to haudle har, and was never able to get her speed out of her.

Nimble-Fingered Girls as Basy as Bees Competing with Foreign Firms A Great Variety of Original Notions—The
Wages of Experts.
Thirty nimble fingered girls, seated half at one side and half at the other of a long, wide table, heaped with feathers—small feathers and large feathers, curly and straight, of every color ani shade—madi a pretty picture. At the right hand of each girl was a glue pot and lend) it lay pieces of canvas and a roll of fine steel wire. Armed with small pairs of tweezers the girls adroitty picked feathers from the heap in Iront of them, dipped the quills or lower ends into the glue, and arranged them artistically cn the piece of wire held in the le.t band. A piece of canvas was glued oa the back. A few quick turns, a pat her# and a pat tb.re, and a pompon, a wing or a cluster of tips is ready for the adornment of a hat or bonnet As soon as a tray is filled it is carried to tbe other end of the room. The handiwork of the girls is then sorted and cara fully packed on shelves to await shipment "Our business is a comparatively new one in this country," said the manufacturer of artificial flowers and feathers, as he examined a new design handed him by one of girls, but in the short time since we obtained a foDthold in Am?rlca it has grown so rapidly that foreign competitors have bean almost entirely driven from our mtrktta In fact, the American manufacturers successfully compete with the European firms in their own countries.

All our designs, even the most intricate, are made by the girls. Some firms employ designers, but I find that our system is better—we get a greater variety of original notions. The girls become ambitious, and they are constantly turning their ideas into reality. When the designs are complete! they are submitted to us and those accepted are liberally paid for. Iu this way the brightest girls are enabled to add considerably to their wages.

I only know of on.e man who ever got the squeeze on Gould. He was feeling very hard against Gould, as he had been worsted in some transaction.. He bought a lot of nine defaulted bonds, in which Gould was interested, paying about $4,000 for them. Then ho quietly sat down on them and waited. About four years later Gould wanted them. He had all the rest, had taken them in at very low prices, but needed these nine to release the mortgage. He made several bids, tbe first very low, but the bolder wouldn't budge. It was some vital point to Gonld, and he was finally compelled to pay the face value of tbe bonds, principal and inter est, with tbe interest compounded, the whole amounting to about $l»,0Qf. The satne man got ahead of Gould in another case. He did it just for revenge, the money there was in it did not amount to much either to him-or Gould.—A. J. tWl hi Globe-Demo-crat

When superfluous matters ara omitted and tho news is given with brevity and simplicity, commented upon with real knowledge and insight, the numbers for a month or quarter will make a truly desirable volurua to add to a family's printed treasurer With right journalism every family coald have and retain through its whole existence a vivid history of the period, the value of which would increase with every year.
During the late war I saved one or two papers'each day, and all their extras, intending to preserve them. Folded once, they made a pile ten feet high. The task of assorting and binding this mountain mass was fearful to contemplate, and it remains to this day unaccomplished. The essential journalism, even of that stirring period, could have been of manageable extent and precious to the las test posterity.—James Parton in The Forum. if, Wisdom Devouring Her Own Children.
Of late years it has struck me with constantly increasing force that those who have toiled for tha advancement of science are in a fair way of being overwhelmed by the realization of their wishes. It has become impossible for any man to keep pace with the progress of the whole of any important branch of science. If he were to attempt to do so hh mental faculties would be crushed by the multitudes of journals and of voluminous monographs which a too fertile press casts upon him. This was not the case in my young days. A diligent reader might then keep fairly informed of all that was going on without robbing himself of leisure for original work and without demoralizing his faculties by the accumulation of unassiniilated information.
It looks as if the scientific, like other revolutions, meant to devour its own children as if tho growth of science tended to overwhelm its votaries as if the man of science of the future were condemned to diminish into a narrower and narrower specialist, as time goes oa I am happy to say that I do not think any such catastrophe a necessary consequence of the growth of science: but I do think it is a tendency to be feared, and an evil to be most carefully provided against—Professor Huxley in Nature.

A FAIR TUT AT. IN rvrstTfa HAUTE.
The nineteenth century is said to be the age of skepticism, and so perhaps it is as regards religion, but its practical spirit inclines it to look favorably on everything that promises immediate benefit and it is always ready to give everything that seems useful a fair triaL The West especially has ever been open and cordial to all new ideas, and this may partly explain why Athlophoros, the sovereign remedy for rheumatism and neuralgia, has secured such a strong footing in Terre Haute. A well-known citizen who has the most implicit faith in it is Mr. R. Forster, the furniture dealer at No. 320 Main street. Mr. Forster, when recently asked at his warerooins as to the benefit he had derived from Athlophoros, answered as follows:
Yes, I have used Athlophoros with the very best satisfaction. I have had neuralgia for many years, and could not find any medicine that would give me relief until I commenced using Athlophoros, and I tell you I had used about everything." "How did you first get confidence enough in Athlophoros to try it?" "Well, it was just in this way. I was suffering very much at tho time from my neuralgia. One Saturday evening Mr. Mallette, a manufacturer of wire mattresses, who is in business in Chicago, and lives at Elgin, 111., came down to spend Sunday with nie. Finding me suffering as I was he said: "'Get some Athlophoros. It is good, my wife us ralgia by i£ "Without waiting for me to say much about it he went out and bought a bottle of the medicine. I took some that night and the next day I was as free from pain as if I had never had neuralgia. I spent several hours in a walk that Sunday with Mr. Mallette, which the day before would have been misey for me. During the summer months I am never troubled with neuralgia, but if I should be again I would certainly use Athlophoros, for I am fully convinced of its merits. "I have recommended Athlophoros to several persons and have yet to lenrn of an instance where it did not accomplish its mission. Among others I recommended it to Mrs. Richards, who lives in Casey, 111. I saw her in the city a few days ago and astced her if she had used it. She said that she had taken two bottles. It was helping her, and she said that she was going to get some more."
O V»» as it and was cured of her neu-
Mrs. C. A. Armstrong, of No. 12H South Second street, is another resident of Terre Haute, Ind., whom Athlophoros has curcd.
I used it for neuralgia," she says, "and it cured me. I had been troubled for about three years with what seemed at times neuralgia, and then again rhcnmatisi».t I was never free from pain. The very first dose of Athlophoros I took gave me relief, and after tiding only two bottles my soreness is all -one and I am feeling nmch stronger. My daughter was also cured of neuralgia by it." "Yes, I can say Athlophoros did everything for me," is the daughter's statement. "I was so sick with neuralgia that I could not sit up and suffered the greatest pain. Mother sent me a half bottle of Athlophoros, the first few doses of which gave me relief.® All I used was tho half bottle and I have not had any neuralgia since."
