When the trolley system was install
ed in Mexico City the native Indians
apart from their wonderment as to
what unseen force propelled the cars
were anxious to test the new power
They began by trying to stop the car
with their hands and later with their
heads and bodies until the list of cas
ualties became great
Then a brilliant idea struck them
They had often been to bullfights and
at certain of these had watched a pe
culiar opening ceremony winch origi
nated in Mexico and later was intro
duced into Spain fiefore the bull is
set loose in the arena a man clothed in
white from head to foot poses as a
statue in the center of the ring His
face and hair are whitened and he
stands without a movement or a flutter
of clothing or anything that would
tend to show that he is alive
When the bull is released he first
sniffs the air and makes a mad rush
for the pedestal Getting quite close
he stops and snorts gazing at the fig

BUOYANT MIDDLE AGE
It DuHIcm Jauntily With Youth In
TIiCMC IVorcxHive IUn
Half a century ago a man of forty
five was regarded almost elderly and a
woman of the same age was expected
to have long since cut herself adrift
from all ties binding her to her youth
nud to assume the appearance and de
portment of a staid exemplar matron
All this has changed in a particularly
interesting way of which the promi
nent feature is a seeming contradic
tion If the three-year-old child of to
day is as knowing as was the six-year-old
of half a century ago and the ten-year-old
103 of today is in ma 113 re
spects quite as much a man as was his
grandfather at eighteen one might nat
urally expect that in due gradation the
modern middle aged man should be old
be3 ond his years But such is not the
case
Middle ago so far from hurrying on
into senility so far even from standing
still would seem actually to have
stepped backward and inarched along
side of youth There Is a jauntiness a
buoyancy an elasticity about the mid
dle age of today at which our fathers
would have shaken their heads as un
seemly The gulf which once separated
the middle aged parent from his chil
dren has been filled up The curtain
which caused him to be regarded with
respect if not with awe has been lifted
c
nnd in obedience to the same influences
t
which have made the schoolmaster the
friend of tho schoolboy and the regi
mental oflicer almost the comrade of
Ids men the middle aged man of today
is never so happy as when working or
playing upon an equality and actually 1
in connection with youth
As with men so it is with women
Social statisticians tell us that the age
at which women are considered most
eligible for marriage has been very
J notably advanced of late years and
wo know that the lament of many a
matchmaking mamma is that the most
I dreaded rivals of her darling are not
to be found so much among the girls
of her own age as among women who
not many years ago would have been
relegated to tho ranks ot hopeless old
maidenhood The fact that the middle
aged lady of today is much younger in
manner and tastes is of course not the 1
only reason for this but it is among
the most potent London Spectator 1
A Very Struiie 1 11 tor cession
In a church wheiv tin prayers are
made at tho discretion of the minister
very strange intercessions are some
times presented I remember well
ages since hearing old Dr Muir of
Glasgow who was a real though ec
centric genius in his day and of whom
no English reader ever beard relate in
incident which had been in his own
knowledge Mr Sniitli
ing at Drumsleekie and
ly retires backward in amazement His j trates of Drumsleekie He meant no
attention is then attracted by others
and the man escapes
The Indians decided to try this on
the cars Dressing themselves in white
and putting flour on their faces and
hair they would stand motionless in the
middle of the car tracks facing the
coming monster
There were many ambulance calls
before they learned the difference be
tween a bull and a trolley car Detroit

Have something to do
Dont do it
Get somebody else to do it
Watch him do it
Convince yourself that you could
have done it ever so much better if it
had been worth while
Rest from your labors
Do the thing that has to be done as
leisurely as possible More haste less
speed Do it well so that you wont
have to do it again Avail yourself of
all labor saving devices Invent some
Rest Never do today that which
may be done as well tomorrow for to

How to Remove Stones From Land
Large rocks should be heated by
burning a quantity of brush on each
one and then with a good heavy sledge
and steel wedges most of them can be
split into fragments that can be hauled
ofl upon the drag Medium sized rocks
may be drawn out by digging round
them fastening a log chain upon the
lower side and attaching the team Let
the horses start slowly and with a lit
tle effort the stone may be pulled out
at the second or third pull A good
way to get rid of stones N to bury
them but bury them deep not less
than three feet from the surface as
they will be certain to work up to the
top in a few years when the work has
to be done over again at considerable
cost
