It Fills Mexican Peons With 8oma thing Like Delirium Tremens. Water bugs anti worms are among tbe tidbits in which the Mexican peon delights. He catches his bugs as they skim along the top of fresh water ponds, drying them and then eating them with as much zest as an Ameri can boy eats peanuts. As near as the peon can explain it, their flavor is something on the order of the chest nut, but us no white man has ever tried eating water bugs, or if he has doesn't dare confess it, the exact taste of these Mexican morsels can’t be de scribed very accurately. The peons dote, too, on the nice, fat pulque worm. This insect is about two inches long and half an inch thick. They fry the dainty In grease and pack It in brown paper packages of a dozen worms, which fetch 2 cents a paper. An industrious pulque worm collector makes a good living. The worm Inhabits the maguey or pulque plant, from which is distilled tlie agtia ralel, or* honey water, of Mexico. After twenty-four hours’ fer mentation it Is very intoxicating. Aft er the Mexican has primed himself with several drinks of agua mlel and has smoked half a dozen cigarettes made of the dried leaf of the merri huana weed and brown paper he is rendy for any crime of violence. This combination of stimulant and narcotic has the effect of deluding the victim Into thinking that his enemy— and every peon has a choice collection of enemies—Is a pygmy In stature. At the same time it gives him an idea that he is tremendously strong and wonderfully brave. So he sallies forth to make mincemeat of his enemy or enemies and, as a rule, lands in the local calaboose. One of the peculiar effects of mer rlhuana smoking is to distort the size of all animals, making them of enor mous size and horrible shape. The smoker is filled with a horrible fear, something like the horrors brought on by delirium tremens. A kitten or a puppy to his distorted vision appears as some terrible creature. A common sight In Mexico is to see a swarthy “greaser,” armed to the teeth, flee In terror from a small dog, while he would fearlessly attack any man with his knife or his machete. A FAMOUS RACE. Tho Greatest 3teamboat Contest on the Mississippi River. The greatest race ever run on the Mississippi was between the Natchez, a boat built in Cincinnati and com manded by Captain T. P. Leathers, and a New Albany boat, the Robert E. Lee, under Captain John W. Cannon. There was spirited rivalry between the two vessels, and when the Natchez made the fastest time on record be tween New Orleans and St. Louis (1,278 miles in 3 days 21 hours 58 min utes) Captain Cannon resolved to beat It. He engaged the steamer Frank Pargoud and several fuel boats and arranged for them to meet him at va rious points up the river with wood and coal. Then he had his boat cleared of all her upper works likely to catch the wind or make the vessel heavier. On Thursday, June 20, 1870, at 4:45 p. m., the Robert E. Lee steamed out of New Orleans. The Natchez follow ed five minutes later. The race had been advertised In advance and was now awaited with gathering Interest at all the river towns. Large crowds were assembled, at Natchez, Vicksburg, Helena and other large places. Between Cairo and St. Louis the Natchez afterward claimed to haVe lost seven hoars and one minute on account of a fog and broken machinery. The Robert E. Lee, however, was not de layed and arrived In St. Louis thirty three minutes ahead of the previous record established by her competitor. Fifty thousand people from the house tops, the levee and the docks of other steamers Welcomed the winner as she steamed into port. Captain Cannon was the lion of the hour. The business men gave a banquet In his honor. — Travel Magazine. • Not a 8avant. A Harvard man told at a dinner in Cambridge a story about ignorance. “Some sailors were being banqueted In Phllndelphlu at St George’s hall,” he said, “and a young bluejacket, pointing to a superb sliver caster, said:1 “ ‘Walter, bring up that ’ere chande lier.’ “ ‘That ain’t a chandelier,’ the waiter answered, laughing. ‘That’s a cruet.’ “ ‘Well, never mind what It Is,’ said the sailor. ‘Bring It up. We ain’t all been to college.’ ” Both Affoeted. “Whenever she gets to thinking how much they’re In debt It affects her nerves,” “Huh! The way it affects her hus band is singular.’’ “How singular?" “Just singular; It affects his •nerve.’ He tried to borrow a hundred from me today.”—Catholic Standard and Times. The Language of Love. "Has he proposed yet?” “Not in so many words.” “That’s no answer. Proposals never do come in words. They consist of sighs, ’hem. haws and gurgles.’’— Cleveland Leader. His Wife's Mother, of Course. Mabel—If your grandma has lost all her_teeth, how does she eat? Willie— I heard pa say she had a biting tongue.—Boston Transcript Education begins the gentleman, but reading, good company an* reflection must finish him.—Locke. (First publication Nov. 10.) Notice.
