Prming: in Mexico. Iry little progress has been made He method of farming in Mexico, Bnany of the implements being crude and of a pattern in use centuries ago. As nearly all the cultivation is done by irrigation crops are much more certain than in some districts of the United States. The British Mail says that the plows used are wooden ones, like those used in ancient Egypt,made of a straight piece of nicsquit timber a yard long, pointed at one end and wedge-shaped at the bottom. On top of this is set at an angle of say 25 de grees, a long pole,which is tied to the horns of the oxen ; on the rear end a single upright stick serves for the han dles by which the "peon" guides his plough. With this primitive instru ment the husbandman ploughs a gut ter about three inches deep and five inches broad at the top, and his work, except sowing and covering, is done. When the wheat is cut and housed and stacked [and this is done in April and May], it is spread upon an adobe floor surrounded by a wall of adobe six feet high,and upon this are turned in a number of wild horses from the range.Young boys keep them running around until the grain is trodden out, and then the mass is thrown upon an other floor on a level with the top of the wall. Here it is cast up with wooden paddles into the air and the grain separated from the straw and chaff by the wind. Nearly all the food eaten by the thousands of people in this country consists of grain. There are no small mills, very few mills of any size and no mills for grinding corn. All the poor and most of the well-to-do eat corn, and to re duce it to meal they must each for his own family pound the corn with one rock upon another. 'Yes, indeed,' said the high-school girl to her brother Jim, 'in this affair I obtained the gibbosity on Amy.' 'You did what ?' inquired the boy. 'Obtained the gibbisotv—the pro tuberancy, you know.' 'ls it anything to eat ?' was the next question. 'Oh dear, no, you stupid boy— merely a figure of speech—what you call 'got the bulge,' only that is horid slang.' Carelessness of Letter Writers. Out of the 4,440,822 pieces of mail matter which were sent to the Dead Letter office last year, more than 34,- 000 contained checks, money, etc., to the amount of about $1,030,000. These letters, of course, were those which, for want of a proper address failed to reach those for who they were intended. But many letters which reach their destination fail of their effect through equal carelessness on the part of their writers. The pub lisher of a Boston magazine states his experience thus : "Letters are received requesting change or discontinuance, but dated nowhere, or without signature, copies of our magazine are returned with nothing to show whence they come ; envelopes, directed and stamped, are received with no letters inside. Occa sionally money is received with noth ing to indicate where it comes from, or from whom, and not infrequently the post office stamp is so indistinct that it cannot be read.'' Let all then be careful, for these mistakes are not all the result of ignorance, but of care lessness. Remember that the most important part of a business letter is the address and signature of the writ er. A Successful Book Agent. Retired Book Agent—'Whv,howdc do, Jinks 1 How spruce you are look ing. What business are you in now V Jinks—'Same old business—sel ling books.' 'What ! still a book agent V 'Yes.' 'And alive V 'I seem to be.' 'Well, I can't understand it. Since 1 got out of the hospital I have given up books.' 'I keep on and making $20,000 a year.' 'How do you manage to escape death ?' 'Easy enough I first introduce my self as an agent of Mr. O'Donovan Rossa and ask for a subscription to the dynamite fund.' 'People refuse, of course V 'Certainly. Then I take out of my pocket a can of brickdust, labeled in big letters 'Dynamite,' and begin to expatiate on its merits.' 'Yes.' 'They beg me to handle it carefully and put it away. Then I place it in my coat-tail pocket.' 'Oh ! oh !' 'After that I open my samples and talk book to them until they buy, and they don't dare ask me to set down, neither do they dare to kick me out.'

The proprietor of thie celebrated medi cine justly claims for it a superiority over all remedies ever offered to the publio for thg SAFE, CERTAIN, SPEEDY and PER MANENT cure of Ague and Fever, or Chilli and Fever, whether of short or long stand ing. He refers to the entire Western and Southern country to bear him testimony to the truth of the assertion that in no case whatever will it fail to cure if the direc tions are strictly followed and carried out. In a great many cases a single dose has been sufficient for a cure, and whole fami ; lies have been cured by a single bottle, with a perfect restoration of the general health. It is, however, prudent, and in every ease more certain to cure, if its use is continued in smaller doses for a week or two after the disease has been checked, more especially in difficult and long-standing cases. Dsn ally this medicine will not require any aid to keep the bowels in good order. Should the patient, however, require a cathartic medicine, after having taken three or four doses of the Tonio, a single dose of BULL'S VEGETABLE FAMILY FILLS will be suf fieient. BULL'S 3ARSAPAR3LLA is the old and reliable remedy for impurities of the blood and Scrofulous affections—the King of Blood Purifiers. DR.
