Very Fanny Kdltm-s, Who Can -fake" to Thlr Hm t'e Content Bog-na Bandit and Make Believe Highwaymen Prank Costly and Trouhlesome. From his appearance the. average Mexic&a would (never be cliarged - with the crime of practical joking. In fact an American would think wore than twice befire he tampered, jokingly, with the quiet dignity and solemnity, two char acteristically intuitive Qualities of the Mexican Don, owing to the latter's readi ness with the revolver and dexterity with the stiletto. . Yet on occasion the Mexicans, from the little toddling boy to the white haired Don and the dark eyed Senorita to the old wrinkled Senora. are the greatest of all practical jokers. It becomes a sort of mania with them, as it did with their ancestors hundreds of years ago. Dec. 28, the anniversary of the slaugh ter of the Holy Innocents, as .the babe who were killed by King Herod on ' the birth of Christ are knowu, is the day of all others in Mexico. The arrival of FieKta de los Santos Inocentes is anxiously looked for every year, and when it cornea it is observed without ntint. Tin? exact origin of this peculiar day as one devoted to practical joking has been lost, so ancient is the custom in Spain. The fact that it fs spoken of as the day of Holy Innocents seems to have inspired the Spaniards xwitb the idea of making innocents or fools of one another and any one else that can possibly be victimized. Ever since this happy tltought occurred to some ingenious Spaniard some time in the Fourteenth century the day has been duly recognized. BOGUS NEWSPAPER SCARES. The ways of celebrating it are, of course, many and varied. Mexico offers a particularly fertile field in this peculiar pastime, owing to the eruptive tendency of the government and people. A country in which a citizen inquires of his neighbor the first thing each day, "Who is president this morning?" natur ally alToras an ingenious practical joker abundant material for unlimited pranks. The newspapers are the leaders in re cognizing the day after the popular form. All sorts of bogus stories are artfully written so as to create immense excite ment, vet the circumstantial facts are so related that suspicion is seldom aroused. High government oQicials artf generally assassinated (in print) and robberies com mitted of great magnitude. On one occasion a gold mine of fab ulous wealth and extent was discovered four miles out of the City of Mexico, and the same day two-thirds of the popula tion of ', the . town : had forsaken their homes to hunt for the mythical bonanza. Another favortte rjeodeuf paying court to the Holy Innocents is to frighten the population of a Email village some miles out from the capital by publishing alarm ing stories of a threatened raid by bands of bloodthirsty Indians and bandits. Mounted couriers in the employ of the newspapers leave the larger city with atmnaant supplies of Vie newspapers, and, dashing at full speed into the doomed town, throw the residents into a panic by reading from tlie public squares the horrible fata that awaits them. In a few minutes the .whole place Is in a terrible state of commotion; and ins another hour ( the town is com pletely deserted. Every one takes to the high road and makes the best time possible to the larger c;ty and safety. When the hoax is discovered, no mat ter what the cost. to the. victims,--no' trouble ever ensues. They pack up their goods, collect their families and return in high good humor to their homes, thankful that they have them, to go to, and promising one another that they will not allow themselves to be fooled next year. Yet when next year does come and with it the terrible news that' yellow fever or some other-deadly scourge Is raging in the vicinity, tlireatening to depopulate the - whole Jowrj by its, rav ages, the "people "forget the resolutions formulated the previous year. Provi sions are hastily packed and safety is sought in the nearby hills and moun tains. In one instance, six families lived in the open air for ten days before the joko perpetrated upon them was dis covered, THE BULL. FIGHT SEUU j Pranks at the expense of private indi viduals are the commonest mode of cele brating the day. It is no uncommon thing for a wealthy old Don walking in a secluded portion of the town to find himself suddenly confronted by twe masked marauders, with revolvers . n their hands' "find "kniyea fn fheit bplti, who command him to give up lus. valu ables quietly-or. they will take Ids life and valuables both.

Among the various textile products of Irish manufacturing skill the most extensively known, says The Clothier, is the justly celebrated Irish frieze. Its manufacture has como down f rom time immemorial. The process since it was first woven on' the primitive hand loom, and the subsequent manip ulation to prepare it for the only gar ment' for" which it is pre-eminently suited, the Cotha More (big coat or overcoat), has been handed down from one generation of the Irish people to another until at the present day the rapidly increasing steam power looms of the Irish mills are engaged in man ufacturing friezes which are making their way by sheer force of real merit in the best markets of the world. TJie chief features which distinguish frieze from all other cloths arc its abso lute imierviousiiess to rain und its extraordinary durability. In these it resembles the famous blankets of the Navajos Indians. Of course we are how sieaking of real Irish frieze, not the counterfeit article, which is now quite plentiful in the American mar ket. These points of excellence are secured through the peculiar method of manufacturing the longest and best wool, selected from the best Irish fleeces, without which rtiero can be no genuine Irish frieze. The process in itself is quite simple, but tedious, de manding much time, care and atten tion. Nothing but washed wool of the longest- and strongest fiber is used. This is first dyed, and afterward, when spun, is doubled so as to resemble yarn; in fact, it is a softly spun woolen yarn, which has not been treated by acids in any manner, so that the whole natural strength of the wool fiber remains unimpaired. This yarn is then woven, after which it is put through the thickening or tuck ing process, as it is termed. This lat ter is practically a somewhat pro longed washing or sousing of the cloth in a carefuily prepared solution, slowly heated up to the boiling point, and tnen as slowly cooled again. This shrinks and consequently thickens the fabric which comes from the loom to such aii extent hp. it becornesi almost impossible, after cutting the goods, to separate one thread of the cloth from the other, so closely are they allied and so interdependent on each other. The final operation is the dressing and finishing of the goods. From this brief explanation it will be perceived in what the chief points of the excel lence of Irish frieze consist. Dyed in the wool, the color is permanent ; "un treated, by acid, the paturaV virility of the wool fiber is preserved. The Spartans and Music. The favorite problem of thinkers and teachers, since thought began, has been to find some engine of education which should reach the character as effectually as the ordinary means of training touch theunderstan.djpg.; and in "the ppiniqi) of "paiiy," UOt, men alone, but' nations, musio was such an engine. "It is music," said the Spar tans, "which distinguishes the brave man from the coward." "A man's music is the source of his courage." It was their music which enabled Leon idas and his three hundred to conquer at Thermopylae. It was music which taugh fh Spar tan youth Jiow q die.' i he wrestling wring or on the fielci of battle. These claims ore uuducious, surely. Yet, when we consider how the rhythmi cal tread of the brave man differs from the agitated shamble of the coward, how music is the art of human joy, and how joy and repose of mind are the main elements of inanjy. fortitude, we shall nt any rale, admit that there is a sirong'ttiiiuity somewhere; oui only difficulty will bo to acknowledge that music, deliberately applied, could ever be the direct cause of these re puted results. To achieve the end desire gpartan boys passed their ycjuV in learning tun&s, hyPUi "and' songs; thi3 was .their sole mental culture. They were taught to dance and keep step to the measure of the songs as they sang them. And, grown to manhood, now perfect warriors, marched into battle with smiling faces, crowned, with flowers, calmi joyf ant eyeie, and, intonjng.' lie' fangs, pioyed. "steadily thus into the thickest of the fight, un disturbed and irresistible. The band that leads our armies to the field of battle nowadays is a scant survival of Spartan practice, yet even in this music by proxy there are many ele ments of incitement courage.rThe Fishing; In the lied Sa. The pld Arab, geographers describe a way of, taking fish' from the waters of the Red sea which must have been convenient for the peopie of that re gion, if it were .not very ingenious. The people supply themsYe. (Tm the sea without rat PT without standing, upon he. shore. 'They use, while, swimming or living, little nets, which they themselves make of YxWYP grass. They tie, hese. t,Q their- feett and. by slip knots and lashings held in. their hahus, they draw fast the snare when they feel that a tiU hascntered iL All tb,Htfi&Jf do with exceeding art, and with a cunning bred by long experi ence. They also teach land reptiles. to drive their prey. Youth's. CWpan ion. Mrs.' Jacob Greenup, of Bonne Terre, Mo., thought she heard her eld est son, a young man of 27, singing a favorite song in his bedroapi-. She. knew he must 1J Pt work at a saw mill, an, feeling- nervous, started, out ta see Uim. As she stepped through the front door men were carrying the lifeless remains of the son into, the yard. He had, been killed by the bursting, of a saw. . One day Ray and Ernest were play ing together, and. as, they occasionally quarreled, their mother said: "If you are naughty again. I $hall separate tou," .Jri a little while Ernest called: Mamma, please come and separate Ray; he's naughty." The Eye. When the eyes are treated fairly, they are strengthened, not weakened, by work, says an article in a London jour naL Just as the arms of a blacksmith grow the stronger for his trade, so tho eyes of ' watchmakers, who work under healthy conditions, are found to im prove, and not deteriorate, in vigor and quickness. It is the abuse of the eyes, not their use, which is to be avoided. If a man is aware either that his eyes need no artificial correction, or else have received the proper adjustment, and if his work, whether literary or mechan ical, is done in a light both steady and sufficient, and with a due regard as to ordinary Banitary rules, he may feel sure that he is strengthening his eyes, not weakening them, by hard work. Men of intellectual pursuits sometimes are afraid of losing their mental power in old age, because they have drawn so much upon it when young. The reverse is nearer the truth, and if they have not overtaxed their brains, the fear is absolutely groundless. The man whose intellect goes first in old age is generally some farmer or laborer, who has never strengthened and invigorated it by use not the politician, the lawyer, or the man of letters. So with the eyea. Those who have strengthened their eyes by using them iroprly keep keen sight longer titan tlioue who have never trained them. In the case of the man who has neglected to give his eyes their full development, they will fail in power along with his other bodily functions. When, how ever, the man who, born with good eyes, lias kept them in constant hard work, and yet never strained them, reaches old age, he may find them cupaLle of pur forming their functions better than any other organ of his body. In short. It people will only learn to use their eyes wisely, there is no reason why mankind should not increase rather than lose their power of seeing. If, however, we are to make this possible, we must lose no time in saving the eye of the present genera tion. poston Herald. The Hindoo Magician. Keller, the prestidigitateur, speaking of the famous Hindoo magicians to a re porter of The Buffalo Express, said: "A trick which puzzled me for a long time was making a pineapple grow under a handkerchief. The juggler lays a hand kerchief flat on the ground., And then be gins to 6ing and beat on the tom-tom, when in the center of the handkerchief something begins to stir and rise in pyra midal form, diluting until just about the size of a pineapple, when the conjurer inserts lus hand under the handkerchief and pulls out a ripe pineapple, "I watched his trick several times be fore I could get a clew to it.. The motion of life puzzled me. But Ope day I took a position on the 6ide--th.e conjurers sir on one side of ft cjreia, making the spec tators, (pvn the rest of the circumfer encewhere I could aee the juggler's motion more clearly, and I noticed that one of the confederates put a bag, like a sailor's bag, near the conjurer's hands, lie sat there tailor fashion, and as he spread out his handkerchief on the ground I saw his hand make a trip swift as lightning to the bag and baci under the handkerchief, and. thought I saw something like the til of a snake ac cornpary . ffcat gave me an idea, and afterward., by pretending to understand the trick, and by paying One of the Hin doos four rupees, I got him to ooness bow the trick was done. "The conjurer does take a snake from the bag placed conveniently at his elbow. When the cobra is put under the hand kerchief, he naturally coil himself up. Then the conjurer begin their music and the cobr raises, his head, and this given, he. lifting motion to the handker chief. One of the first things a cobra does when excited is to swell out his neck and this makes the pyramidal shape. When the juggler puts his hand under the handkerchief ho take with it a hollowed pineapple and removes the cobra inside of it, concealed by his hand. That is one of cleverest tricks I saw In India. Pelt tn a' Legml Tender From 1774 to 1784 the territory now known as Tennessee formed a part of North Carolina, and tn 1785 the Ten nesseans, becclng dissatisfied with their go verucfltoM organized a state govern ment mder the name of "Franklin," which was maintained for gome years. The state afterwards disbanded and ter ritorial Tennessee was again annexed to North Carolina. The following are among the laws passed by the legislature of the state of Franklin, We copy it as found in a speech by Daniel Webster on the curren.ex of 1388; Be, tt exacted by the general assembly of the state of Franklin, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same that from the 1st day of January, the salaries of the officers of the com monwealth be as follows: His excellency the QverVv per an num, 1,000 deer sites,, . His bono, the- chf justice, per an num, deer skins. The secretary to his excellency, the governor, per unnum, 400 raccoon skins. The treasurer to the state, 450 raccoon skin.. Each county clerk, 800 beaver skios. Clerk of house of commons 200 rac coon skins. Members of the aecably, per diem, three raccoon fekns, Justice., fees for signing a warrant, one uiuskrat skin. To the constable for serving a warrant, one mink skin. Enacted Into the law the 18th day of October, 1780, under the gr't seal of the state, Buffalo News. . Jk String Tied to It. The son of a real estate dealer of St. Paul was married a short time ago. The real estate man owns some property him self, and, like some other "well fixed" citizens he has his peculiarities.. The marriage occurred In the east at the home of the lovely bride, and the event was celebrated there with appropriate rejoicings and the giving of presents to the young couple. Among the presents was a very valuable- one from the bride groom.'. fond parent, being nothing less than, a deed, duly signed, and wit nessed according to law. trans ferring to them several pieces of gilt edged real estate. This was displayed ta the wedding guests among the other presents, ranged along the top of the piano in the parlor. When the happy young man returned liome with Ida brioe his generous father had him re tuvn. the deeds to lum and tore them up. They had fully performed the art they were intended to pk-rfonu. of itupreti&ing upon the bride's relations the fact tliat the was marrying into a family of wealth, to which the parting with a few corner lots was a matter of no great con cern. All this actually occurred, strange as it may seem. St Paul IMoneer Press.
