ciiu&c she knew you'd find your highest
good and happiness In being a woman
and wielding rigidly the tremendous
powers inherent in your sex , She's got
u man somewhere in the universe for

sistont wish might hnvo tnrned you
Into n muri , as it has done now in part.
Now , you are a man , buton the outside
only. Inside you'ro nothing. Your
femininity and womanhood are all
nslcop. You'ro wearing a false coat , a
sham , n pretense of masculinity which
only disgusts people and drives thorn
from you , as all unnatural things do dis
gust and drlvo away people. Ho wovor ,
you'll "shuck" that coat and como out
all right some time or other when you
moot your man. You can't be expected
to do much hotter than now you'ro
doing when there's only one-half of you
present to do with. He's the other

now. No wonder you bCiittor firebrands

The Agents AVoro Auuisinjj for Onco.
Ono Allegheny matron smiles when
ever any ono mentions agent in her
presence nnd recounts with glee how
she got even with two of the itinerants ,
recently , says the Pittsburg Penny
Press. She had sent her maid out and
was taking n siesta on the couch in hoi-
sowing room when a ring at the boll
aroused her. She answered it and a ,
female stalked in , nnd seating herself ,
announced that she was the &olo agent
for the greatest furniture polish ia the
world , guaranteed to remove any stain
or bcrutch from any picco of wood , to
renew the finish and muko defaced
pieces as good as now. The lady of tlio
tiouse pointed to a terribly rubbed piano
and the peddler of the patent goods was
it once down on her knees rubbing away
'or dear life. Her face got rod ,
she rubbed up , down , across and
round in a circle , but the polish did not
return. Exhausted she resented herself
and began to got real cool , when an
other ring at that bell Interrupted the
How of convoi-bation. This time it wasa
book agent , who sold , only on subscrip
tion , the very latest cook book. With
majico aforethought the matron declined -
clinod to purchase , but sot the book
agent on the furniture polish vendor.
Not allowing an inlerruplion , iho for
mer began a rocilalion on the virlues
of Iho book. Whenever the latter tried
to interject a word into the conversa
tion , she wont at it with renewed en
ergy and talked the curl out of the pol
ish woman's hair. Seeing no chance to
got in a word , the attacked female took
from her handbag a boUlo of polish and
held it up. The ofTcct was electrical.
That book agent's face showed her dis
comfiture , and without ( mother word
shoaio.se and made for the door. She
was followed by the other , and the lady
of that house vowed that she has not
enjoyed liorsolt so muoh for a month ,
and that aho forgives thorn for spoiling
her aftordoon lunch nap.
One ITcaltliy American.
A thin , delicate-looking woman sat in
a horse-car ono evening reconlly , and
next her sat n native of Ihc queen's
realm. The window behind the Briton
was open and the cool wind blow on the
woman , making her shiver. Atlastsho
said , in a ladylike way , "Won't you be
kind enough to cloao the window behind
you , as it makes mo cold ? " It would
hardly have caused the man any incon
venience to grant this request , but ho
replied harshly , "I prefer it open ; you
Americans can't aland anything ; you
all boom to have consumption. " The
other passengers on the car wore as
tounded at his inactivity , and there
wore many angry glances cast at the
royal subject. Finally n gentleman
rose on the opposite Hide of the ear and ,
approaching the Englishman with about
Ui ( ) pounds avoirdupoisleaned ever him
and grasping the window slammed it
down with vigor ; then ho remarked :
' Now , my friend , if you think all Amer-
cans nro afflicted with consumption you
just raise that window again. lam an
American. " Tlio Httlo woman blushed ,
the other passengers smiled , the Amer
ican returned lo his seat , nnd Iho Briton
looked out of tlio window and thought.
A Voting Imdy's
A young lady governess was sitting In
a horse car In nn English provincial
towns , says the Boston Budget , when a
stylishly dressed mini entered , who dis
played prominently a valuable diamond
ring on one of his llngors. He soon
after got out , and the young lady , on
getting to horfitngo on her way home ,
stepped out as well , and found , on put
ting her hand in her pocket , that her
purao was gone. She , however , found
a strange article in her pocket , which ,
to her ut-tonidhmuiit , turned out to be
the Identical ring which her follow
traveler had been so ostentatiously dis
playing. Examination proved that the
ring was no Hush article , a jeweler ap
praising it as of the value of at least
8150. Fortunately for the lady , there
were only two shillings in the purse
which she lost. The ring hod evidently
slipped olT the pickpocket's linger when
ho was in the net of abstracting the

Mistaken Identity.
A lady of my acquaintance , says a
writer in the Boston Transcript , think
ing to give her husband a pleasant sur
prise , walked up behind him in the
street , ono day. and putting her hand
in his arm , looked smilingly up into his
fnco for the welcome she was sure of
seeing there. She was fro/.on by the
cold stare that mot her gaze. She was
iust about to say , "What makes you
look so croasV" when , to her great dis
comfort , she saw it was not he. She
stammered confusedly , trying : to ex-
plnin her mistake , and got out of the
rand us rapidly ns possibly , feeling that
any means of obliteration from among
the human race at that time would bo
acceptable. She generally has the
credit of being a. truthful portion , but
there ia one subject that luooO who
know her always doubt about. When
she speaks of having seen some ono ,
they can not fool sure whether it is the
ono she thought It was or some stranger
with a resemblance. The matter of
seeing resemblances amounts to a talent
with some persons , and ono ( they would
gladly dispense with. How much easier
It is to recognize a lady friend from her
costume than a gentleman 1 The
monotonous dress of the latter , in nln o
cases out of ten the same shaped hat ,
the same suit of clothes , the same tone
of color and when overcoat time is
hero ( nnd that is most of the time in
this region ) , dear , dear ! Who is who ?
But a woman always wears something
that identifies her among other women.

i > 'rnnkHu'fl Adrlcc to Mothers.
In a parcel of Benjamin Franklin's
letters that have recently been made
public is one addressed to a lady , con
gratulating her upon the well-being of
her baby boy , whom she had announced
us having cut live teeth. lie writes :
"Pray let him have everything he
likes. I think It of great consequence
while the features of the countenance
nro forming ; It gives them n pleasant
air , and ono that becomes fixed and nat
ural by habit , the face Is over hand
somer afterward for it. nnd on that
much of a person's good fortune and
success in life may depend. " Franklin
did not moan by this that the
child should bo given all the food
it wanted , but that it should bo sur
rounded by pleasant objects for its
amusement and diversion. "Who has
not seen a scowl of discontent upon the
face of an infant deepen and become a
permanent defect a lifelong proof of
the discomforts of its babyhood/ Verily
the sins of parents are visited upoii
their helpless children. After alow
more telling arguments in favor of the
child , the writer says : "Always be
lieve a child at least , do not express
your unbelief if you can help it. If the
little fellow sees that you rely upon his
word , ho feels an increased respect for
the truth and for himself , until at
length his character for probity will become -
come matured and established. " Many
an exceptionally imaginative child is
unable to distinguish between facts and
fancies as fairy tales and Mother Goose
melodies quite bewilder his brain with
their semblance of realty. Such chil
dren are apt to conjure up curious
stories in wnieh truth nnd notion are
hopelessly confused , and will relate
them in nil seriousness.
Not Afraid ofa Unt.
Says the Boston Transcript : At ono
of the Washington street Theaters the
other evening a lady , who with her
husband was seated in the parquet , be
came aware that some living thing
seemed to bo moving about on the Moor
underneath her scat and colliding with
her foot in certain more or less fantas
tic movements. She investigated the
matter sufficiently to convince her that
the intruder was a rat. Then she
what1 ; Screamed ? Not a bit of it. With
oat presence of mind she simply told
her husband that there was a rat under
her feet. He changed seats with her
as promptly as posiblo without attract
ing attention and then poked the rat
out from under the seat with his cane.
It took refuge under the seat in front
and passed outof hissight. What became
of it he does not know ; ho saw and hoard
nothing more of it ; but ho will vouch
for the fact that it was , to all appear
ances , an able-bodied rat. If that lady
had , upon the discovery of the animal ,
followed her instinct and screamed and
jumped , she would probably have started
the house into a panic.
Incident No. 2 A Boston girl , retir
ing at night , found a rat in her room.
She closed the door and started in wild
pursuit of the creature about the room.
She was just about to deal it a crushing
blow with the French heel of her shoe
when the rat took refuge in the spring
of her bed , quite outof her reach.
"Well , " said she , "I guess , after his
experience , ho will stay where ho has
found he is safe. "
And then she went tranquilly to bed
and slept all night , and in the morning
she got a terrier nt a neighbor's , and
the dog ferreted out the rat and killed
it. Perhaps that is the only case on
record where a woman has slept peace
fully with a rat in her bed. There have
been , on the contrary , able-bodied mas
culine persons who have leaped madly
out of bed upon hearing what they sup
posed to be a mouse burrowing in the
mattress.
A Happy Woman.
Somebody asked mo the other day ,
says Bab iii the New York Star , who
wore the happiest women , and I've been
thinking it out ever since. The con
clusion I have como to is that nho is the
happiest woman who is not too hand
some. I don't moan that she shall be
disagreeable looking , and she mut < t have
a curtain charm of manner ; but by her
lack of beauty she can keep the loviie.st
of woman friends and no jealousy
arises , while she is always a pleasant
companion. The woman who is not a
great beauty does not need to anticipate
growing old with that horror that
comes to her who knows that it means
the loss of her greatest attraction. I
have always made a thanksgiving every
night that Providence arranged that f
should lo born south of Allison and
Dixon's line , but I now add to my thanks
the fact that nature did not make me
beautiful. Ono can only fool this way
after ono has become how old ? The
woman without beauty is going to try
and bo something else , for in the heart
of every woman figure without Roman
lines nnd a calliope voice there is a desire -
sire to bo considered the nicest in the
world by somebody. And if the woman
is worth" penny , she prefers that some
body to bo a man.
Obtrusive Politeness.
A young lady was carefully assisted
ever the alarming space that yawns be
tween the station platform and car by a
young gentleman with a cork leg , says
the Now York Sun. She effected the
passage in safety and tripped into the
car while her escort thumped his way
on lumberlngly behind , The couple
wore fond of each other , and they stood
quite close together in the crowded car
and looked into each other's eyes and
chatted nnd'nuted in an idiotio manner.
A prim man of middle ago tendered the
young lady a soat.
"Oh , no ; I couldn't think of robbing
you of it , " she said , In u frightened sort
of way.
"But I insist , " said the prim man.
The young lady shyly sat down and
glanced up npnoalingly to her escort.
The fact that tha relative positions of
the young couple were embarrassing
flashed upon the passengers. To con
tinue the conversation with any degree
of privacy it was necessary for the
young gentleman to lean over at almost
right angles , for the young lady was
very short. Ho couldn't do this because -
cause of his Infirmity , and ha had sense
enough not to make the situation moro
ridiculous by trying.

[ Special Correspondence of the BKK. ]
Leaving the railroad to the north nnd
crossing a rushing stream then In the
very flush of Its existence , by reason of
the rapidly molting snows In the dis
tant mountains , I rode u a short Incline
on top of which I found myself con
fronted by a long , black , rugged and
seemingly Impassable stretch of "mal
pals. " As accords with many and
llrmly believed Indian traditions , this
great How of lava seems truly and sin
gularly enough to bo resultivo of n
curse administered by n displeased and
revengeful pod , who presided over the
destinies of this country in former ages.
It mutters not , however , from what cause
that terrible outburst of molten
matter was made to How over the coun
try , It still remains as an Indisputable
fact that it has and perhaps over will
continue to prove a curse. This How of
lava originally issued from craters sit
uated iu what are now known as the
Zuni mountains , and whoso peaks are
plainly visible from the San Jose valley ,
and naturally sought the confines of the
lower valleys , whore it spread Its devas
tating forces over thousands of acres ,
blotting out every vestige of vegetation ,
submerging hind that necessarily other
wise must have been fertile nnd produc
tive , and effectually warning' a great
breadth of country into a bleak , craggy
and desolate waste.
After fighting every inch of two
milesacross the Mal Pals , and leaving
it and its uninviting caves and crevices
to the mercy of wild beasts and rattle
snakes I drew around a sharp sandstone
point and came in bight of the Mexican
pueblo of San Hufuol. nestling close to
the dill's and overlooking a broad , well-
watered valley.
Although not so ancient as many
other Mexican settlements , San Rafael
has been the bcono of muny incidents
peculiar to the frontier , and directly
adjoining the present town site are
the half-tumbled down walls of old Fort
Win gate.
This fort is now entirely deserted so
far as human activity ib concerned , but
report has it that in past and busier
times many wore the gay scenes enacted
behind il& stern fortilicalions. The
ruin.s , which cover about ten norcb ,
boar witness of commodious buildings
that during the years between 18i ( ( ) and
1868 sheltered firstly New Mexico vol
unteers and subsequently two companies
of militia and two of regulars , whom
old settlers claim made those bristling
gilt-buttoned days a scone of either war
fare or gaiety. The houses composing
the town seem to have bprung up at
random like bo many wild flowers in
total disregard of blrcots or thorough
fares , and all are built of adobes , nnd for
most part unrelieved by a single orna
ment.
To ha sure in several instances some
por.son being suddenly struck with an
idt-ti to create a. novelty in finish , jitis
endeavored to add a portico or projee-
turo.i of scroll work to his house , but
Mich o.isos are very few and I believe
the people being o unused to any east
ern adornment of their homos have
learned to iuo baauty in the bare adobe
walN , and rcg.vrd any nttoinpt nt im
provement to ' > e waste of time and ma
terial.
It is also curl i to note that in a land
of suiibhino we I. i. no noatlv arranged
( lower gardens , J embowered door
ways or rows of shrubbery , branching
out over a shady piny ground for chil
dren or forming a routing place for
birds , yet such utter neglect on the part
of residents is sadly the truth. Un-
luckj indeed would bo the little bird
who sought to build her maternal nest
in a hedge row or a flowering bush
about .Sun Unftiul , ns it must look iu
vain for such a harbor. And I believe ,
too. the birds have long been aware of
the shameful disregard of their require
ments , as I found while roaming the
surrounding hills many wee ueats hid
den away among the tall bristling
cacti. The most enthusiastic poet
would find himself sadly out of luck
wcroho drawn here by glowing visions
of fragrant Itowors or pretty sylvan
homos , where ho thought to rest among
the showering points and inscribe a
puiiionnto , soulful sonnet to a black-
ovi'd honoritn as she ( as is proverbial of
Spanish girls ) tugged gracefully down
a bhaded lane to fetch a jug of cool
sparkling water from the bubbling
spring below.
Sunorltiih there are and very pretty
ou'- : > too , and they nro in every wuv i
creditable and inspiring picture. Most
of thorn nro daughters or poor parents
and hnvo nuvcr perhaps boon flftv miles
from their native town , and are endowed
dewed with no education whatever out
side of n few llxcd rules of etiquette
( lint are habitual and ever conferred
by Mexican parents. The senorltas nro
modest but then they hlivo such a be
witching way of raising their long
blacK lashes , and charming you with a
swift , roguish gliinco.
They dross very neatly and , for homo
iinaccountiihlo reason ( it must bo a
natural intuition ) they , or their
mothers , microed admirably in getting
a rmnnrltably stylish and eloie-lltUng
cut upon their garments , and their gay
colored frocks cling perfectly to their
forms , which in young girls are in
variably plump and well rounded.
Notwithstanding the dead , uninviting
appearance of adobe houses from the
outside , their Interiors are decorated
olT with all po iblo and some iinpojislblo
contrivances and pictures , most any of
which nrf > capable of surprising the be
holder , when soon for tlo ) Ilr.st time.
A free and open hospitality is ono of
the most agreeable as well as the moit
conspicuous virtues of the Mexican pee
ple. I was quite cordially recolvod and
entertained by a peasant or small
ranchero , nnd his numerous family.
This family dwelt In n house which
consisted of three commodious rooms ,
each of which scorned to run into a
wing , or at right angles with the other ,
and even when combined , in reality
formed no liou.su at all.
All the \\alls had received a rocnnt
dash of whitewash , and wore hung
over , by way of contrast , with u profuse
array of highly colored pictures of all
imaginable bizca und shapes , and repre
senting many and extremely dhorso
subjects.
Thus , for instance , the Holy Virgin
portrayed in an assortment of bright
colors , and holding the infant Savior to
her breast , hung by thn side and smiled
benignly upon a group of very mod
erately appareled damsels in the very
throes of an artistic und wholly unap
proachable high dance , that was
strongly suggestive of a prominent and
and well-known sporting paper. Ij

liouso douorntors , that this inharmoni-
3tis unu apparently vulgar ininpUnjj of
pictorial features is tlio result of a
chilil-liko iunoconco nnd the lack of an
nrtiitiu eye , nnd not intentionally
prouncd in such a mini nor to create a
bawdy or ludicrous , eflout.
The lloor of each apartment was
originally nuul , but now nitido almost na
boliil at , rock by constantly beni } , ' trod
den upon by bare or inoccabinud feet.
The good housewife kept it t > wept very
dean , for which purpose fahc used n
short whisk broom , in the form of n
bunch of tough , fibrous grass that
grows along the edge of neighboring
swamps.
For cooking purposes a fire was made
in a small owil lire place , and while the
wife propnrcd a toothsome , though
rather llory dish of "chili con carne , "
the daughter was down upon her kncp.s
busily engaged in rounding out thin
"tortillas" and baking thorn upon a
smooth flat-iron.
In a room to which the host and my
self repaired for an after dinner &mokc ,
I found an abundant variety of bods.
Some wore high , BOUIO low , others wide
and others narrow , nnd encircled
around the four walls , just leaving room
for a doorway in one corner. What
occupied my fancy most however , was a
pair of benevolent , motherly looking
pillows , the edges of which were om-
bollitihed by the merest suggestion of a
frill.
In this room wo wore shortly joined
by mine host's wife who herself runic to
join us in a cigarette. 1 give detailed
description of this imrticular house as
from other observations I found it in a
general way to represent many others ,
As the Mexican people dote on llashy
colors , their homes are frequently be-
decdcd with vari-hucd calicos and mus
lins which they gather up in largo festoons
teens and arranged about the walls ,
principally above the beihi , which has
in absence of other decorations quite a
pleading clleet.
Tlio country adjoining the Pueblo is , or
rather could bo. made very productive.
Tha soil is rich , hay grows naturally
upon the lowlands , there is an abund
ance of water for nil purposes , while thu
hills sloping back from the town are in-
oxlmiibtiblo in fuel nnd timber , and
alToi-d also uiiburpuioil pasturage. Vet
with all these resources the puoplo are
poor.
They cannot bo branded as indolent ,
because they are industrious , but in a
way peculiarly their own. They lack
thrift and enterprise and are most
miserable managers requiring an immensurable -
mensurable length of time to accomplish
little or nothing. They don't appear to
euro for advancement and are content
to live on in an easy , humdrum , go-as-
you please way , finding enjoyment in
many unimportant events among them-
themholves and happiness iu the
thought that they are able to live at all ,
