Hut whnt the market wants Is not something to keep the nlr In, but somo- . thing to keep the water out." Ir. Bird was once tho guest of Cap tain Ititrton, the explorer, nnd one night, when Burton hud been telling of nn Arab attack which ended fatally for his assailant, the doctor provoked from him one of the most perfect re torts over tiuide nt n doctor's expense. "How do you feel, captain, when you kill a man?" said he. Burton paused n moment, nnd then replied, slowly: "I don't know, doctor. How do you?" Senator Tillman tells of a South Carolina trial In which the prisoner, accused of burglary, was cleared by a strong a lib!, Binply snpnorted by wit nesses. After the trial, the Judge Join ed the friends who were congratulat ing the successful lawyer, nnd said: "That was nn excellent nlibl you prov ed." "Ves," said the lawyer; "I thought pretty well of it. It was easily the bet of the four that were offered to me." Secretary Shaw's decision tiwt frojjs are poultry, nnd subject to duty, re calls the story of the passenger and n guard on mi Knglisli railway car, who were having a hented discussion over whether the traveler should pay fare on n dog that accompanied him. the guard Instating that the rules of tho i ond demanded tlint the animal have n tlekut:- Another passenger produced turtle from his pocket, nnd suronstical l nsked the guard If he would not rc ptirc n fure to be paid for that ciilmnl ns well. The guard answered that he would Inquire nnd report later. Soon after he came back to the carriage nnd delivered himself of the following: "Cats is dogs, and rabbits Is dogs, but tortoyses' Is frogs, nnd frogs Is hlusects, and they rides free." Senator Honr lately told nn Incident of his legal practice In connection with his remarks alwut the dangerous con dition of the old government printing office. "I nm reminded," snld he, "of something thnt happened In the Su preme Court of our State some years ngo. They held court nt Northu nip- ton, and went over to Mt.

" RURALES OF MEXICO. fiplendld Horacmcn Who I'alrol Hlh ivuyi of the Interior, The m rales nre to Mexico what the famous guardla civil Is to Spain nnd X needed the genius und administrative power of tbe man who nt present holds the reins of government to conceive the formation and equipment of the picturesque horsemen whose appear a nee In Mexico's military parades nl ways elicits the applause of spectators, says Modern Mexico. These rural po lice for such they nre never fail to attract attention of both foreigners und natives alike. I.Ike the guurdla civil ol Spain the rurales patrol the remote mountain traots of (Jilerrero and Michoacun and the great plains of the "mesa centra! in couples or parejas and ninny i lonely traveler or prospector has been 'glmlucncu iy tno siut or their gray uniforms (the leather-embroidered Jacket Is only us.sl on parade occasion) amidst the wild rugged scenery of the Pacific const In regions whero not soul is to be seen for duys und dnys. Their company Is a real pleasure, ns they nre the best hosts the traveler on the Mexican high road could huve. It Is notable that they nro invariably pleased to meet Kiigllsh-speaklng peo pie nnd will frequently travel miles out of their own route to put an "oxtran Jero" on the light track when lost in a bewildering maze of bridle paths. The equipment of the rurales is Mexican In every respect, aud in this they differ from the regular army wiio.'e unuorui and a iiiteriiieuts nre adapted largely from the French. The horses used by these men nre of thy finest and their riders are born to th saddle. The "sill.i vaquera" or Mexl can cowboy saddle in use is by fur t'n most practical and easiest for the I, nig ami weaiis.mic marches they takt through atrociously nmi.ii country. The origin of the "silla vnquern' Is peculiar, and lis ancient prototype ma ln traced firther back than U known to most visitors. In Hie i'icm instance the saddle In use to-day In this ountr is an adaptation made by the old Span lards of the "silla vaijui-ra de Andalu da" in Spain, mid there Is no ditlcult In recognizing this lv a comparison o thesis usisl by the Spanish "pi, -adores' iu the bull ring. The same hiii enutl and horn Is in evidence, the stirrups In the latter cave being of iron, .with a "tapader.i," or co.eiing. to the right '.Hie, being the side on which the bulls attack the rider. ' The lazo, or lariat, for roping bulls. Is not used In Spain, but ciiaie into u In her coloules, und with this the ne cessity for a iliffeivnt-shaptHl saddle aroae, and then tUo -silla Mexlesna." with Its peculiarly shaped horn . for se curing the "Utzn," was evolved. This ssmo saddle M now In use throughout the Western States of America nnd the Cullfomlnn nnd Tex nn stisk, saddles are the outcome. As regards the "sllln vmiiiera" of An dnlucia, its origin, ns In the other cus toms In that southern country, Is dis tinctly Moorish and the KIlTs and Ber bers use something almost identical In pattern. The convenience of the Mex lean saddle Is recognized by nil trav elers In this country, and Its good nnlltles received proper recognition when the Sultan of Morocco sent for one through Kaid Maclean, his Scotch ndvlser. A splendid sneclmcn of the addler's nrt was sent out recently to his serene hlglmns of Moro-co from this city by a gentleman whose knowl edge of thing Mexican I Irreproach able, nnd the saddle Is nt nresent In use. s. EPIDEMIC OF LOST MEMORIES. Strange Htnrku of "Word Iliindncnit" In Healthy 1'urnniiM. Whnt nre the causes of apparently heulthy persons suddenly losing their Identity?" wns n question which a olclirnted brain specialist dealt with yesterday in the hope that the results of bis researches and bis advice might prove of benefit to the public. The 'lyslcian recalled some renin ik- nble cases of what lire known as physical changes," which have re ently come to his notice, including the xperleiice of it gentleinnn who a few lays ngo entered tlve record office In Chancery lane and announced to nn astonished official that "he did not know who he was, ns he had lost his memory." Another case wns thnt of n young hul.v who wandered from her home at Clr.cton to Flnslmiy, a distance of thir ty miles, and furnished to the police nt the latter olace a iimiiip which she thought" to be her father's. A tele gram, however, sent to that address was returned "unknown." third Illustration of these curious psychological phenomena was that of clergyman who, after withdrawing from his bank n substantial sum of money with which to complete the pur- hnse of n piece of land, entered n tramway car. From that moment his mind became n blank, nnd he wander ed :!OI ii'lles to' a Inrge town, where with the money he bought a stationer's shop nnd eroded n-lgn Is'iiring the name of "Brown." After six weekV n customer entered. and addressing the mnn behind the winter as "Mr. Brown," nsked to be supplied with some small articles of stationery. The proprietor replied that his name wns not Brown, but Bourne, nisi that he knew, nothing about the business. The mnn hnd suddenly awakened from his prolonged lapse of memory," added the physician.

BIRD LIFE IN HAWAII Many Hpaclea Will IHnnpnear or Fly Inaccessible Height From some of the open pastures rises the song of the skylark, which wns Imported from New Zealand; sky- arks Increase In number, but not very pilckly. The voice of the Chinese tur tle dove the mourning dove, it Is railed is benrd In the Innd quite near to the valley homes; aIso the upwnrd whirr of the Mongollnn nnd the Jap anese pheasant. (Jrouse and ouall the California valley quail were there until Intely, but the Intter have now betnken themselves to heights of l!,X)0 to 7,000 feet, wither the maraud ing mongoose cannot fol'ow theni. I nsked a young niece of my own who lately left Honolulu what birds visited their grounds three miles up the valley road, and she tells me, "Java sparrows, rice birds and those siiuawklng lny- iin lis. The last eat up nil our young 'tigs and grapes, unless we throw the tennis nets over them. The natives call the myniili menu nl pllay; that Is, bird who eats tilth."' He dors some good, then, as well ns III. That watching of birds which is es sential to n knowledge of their life his tory has Indect! been impossible to most visitors to Hawaii. And now that annexation Is giving nn Impetus to the development of the country's resources, the inevitable destruction of Its forests, even if the birds themselves do not perish with the trees thut shel tered and fed them, Is driving them up to still more inaccessible heights and wooded depths between the sharp volcanic peuks, which, will battle tho hardiest climber. Blackwood's Maga zine. FAMILY INSPECTION VISIT. Great Ordcnl in a Ciirl's Life Before Iter Murrlutce. One of the most trying things in a girl's life Is what wo may call the "Inspection visit" to tho faintly of the man to whom she bus engaged herself. It Is much more comfortable when the two families know each other. If not, n visit U arranged. If the distance between the two homes Is not too great, the mother or sisters of the tin nee call on the prospective bride aud she returns this cull within a week. But If a long railway Journey Inter venes, tho family of the Intending bridegroom writes to the girl Imme diately on receiving the news, inviting her to come and pay them a visit. On one such occasion the e:igiged girl said: "1 felt so nervous when we got near the house that 1 should have liked to scream, but when I suddenly saw that pixir Ooorge was quite as nervous as myself, 1 grew quite calm and self possessed. I determined that ills people hliinilil not think he hail chosen a silly girl tng but shake like chatter her teeth." The fiance feels tli.m a man who who could do iit.it Ii- a blaiic-man.re and even more nervous has Just bought a horse and ht it netted up before a party of critical and down itcqnaint- ancos. But the girl he could not sell If he would, and probably would not If he could. Truly, the Inspection visit Is trying, though extremely luteresling; for, In addition to nl! the above-iiienlloned queries, tile fiance also "wonders" what his betrothed will think about his peo ple. riilladelpbia Inquirer. A man muy not be perfect, but when lie Is with hla wife she thluka be Isn't very far from perfection. "j rT "' 'r jJy A Curse of Religion.
