It has often been said that the ca

heat has never been fully tested. Au
Incident related by a dairyman living
on the outskirts of the city seem to
bear out this assertion.
This dairyman ha a young negro
boy who looks after the cattle and
does chores around the place. The on
ly effect that the heat produces In his
case Is a desire to slumber. The dairy
man had a young calf in the barnyard,
and as the sun was pouring in on the
poor animal his wife scut "Carlina'

could seek a shady spot. After wait
ing an hour for his return the house
wife went to the barnyard to invest!
gate. There she found both boy and
calf curled up in the hot and stilling
barnyard. The calf was dead from
the effects of the sun. but the boy was
slumbering peacefully by its side.
While a negro can stand any amount
of heat on his head he loves to coed his
heeds. It is a common sight In the
winter to see a negro boy on a frosty
morning with his bead bundled up to
keep out the cold and at the same time
walking unconcernedly along the
frosty ground In his bare feet. One of
tbe hottest places in the city on a hot

An American farmer near Guadala
jara convinced his Mexican neighbors
that oxea can do more work under
American yokes, so generally used in
the republic. The American brought
severe! modern yoke from the T'nited
States and used thcin with success.
The curiosity of his Mexican friends
was aroused, and they proceeded t
ask ;t:cs:ions.
"V.til," said the American, "when
you Ir.sso a steer and the lasso gets
around his neck what do you do?"
"Turn him loose," was the reply.
"Why?"
"Because he's too strong for us that
way."
'That's it," answered the American.
"His strength is in hi neck, not iu his
horns."
The Mexicans saw the point, and
now yoke of United States manufac
ture are generally used in that neigh
borhood. Modern Mexico.
32a a and Ilia Tailor.
A man can lie measured to tbe best
advantage, tailors say. away from a
glass. Standing before a mirror he Is
almost certain to throw out his chest,
if he doe not habitually carry it so.
and take an attitude that he would
like to have rather than the one he
commonly holds, whereas the tailor
went him. ffs the portrait painter
wants his subject, in his natural iose
and manner. With the man in that at
titude the tailor can bring hi art to
bear, if that ia required, in the over
coming of any physical defect and pro

tainable effect upon the figure as they

Every one knows that It cost almost
p h y n,t io a year to run the United
States government In times of peace
and -that the department of war and
the navy, the Indian and pension bu
reaus absorb the larger part of thia
amount, but In the course or years a
large number of dependent upon Un
cle Sam's purse have come into being
of w hich the general public knows lit
tle. Such, for example, are the Interna
tiounl bureau for the repression of the
African slave trade, located at Brus
sels, a highly laudable Institution, to
the cxienses of which our government
contribute fl'K) a year; the interna
tional bureau of weights ami measures,
also at Brussels, to which 52.270 Is con
tributed, and the International Geodet
ic association, the expenses of which
our government share to the extent
of $1X) yearly.

DANGER IN CHEAP GLASSES.
A Great Mnay Eyea Ralaed by At
tempt at Economy.
Looking back now to the time when
the itinerant quack doctor and tbe
wandering dentist spreid misery and
destruction over the land, we wouder
at the ignorance or carelessness of our
fathers In trusting their teeth or even
their lives to hand so untrustworthy.
A very similar thing Is done today by
people who buy spectacles or eyeglass
es from men who sell them on the
streets or have their eyes fitted by op
ticians vho have no qualifications for
doing .lie work.
A surprising number of people buy
their glasses from vender on the
streets. They get glasses for 50 cents
which seem to them just as ;ood as a
p.ilr they would pay $ for having
made on nn oculist's prescription, and
they think they have saved money.
Glasses acquired In all sorts of ways
by Inheritance or exchange from a
friend or even glasses found on the
streets are used to the detriment, even
to the destruction, of the wearer's
sight.
"People seem to think glasses are
like clothes." said an old oculist the
other day. "ami if they are fairly com
fortable and loo!; well they ask no
further questions."
Another way in which people dam
cge their eyes is through carelessness
In trying to remove dust or cinder
from them. They try themselves, a
friend tries a rub. the nearest drug
store and the nearest optician are call
ed en. all lofore an oculist is consult
ed. The result 1 that the eyebr.ll is
often br.rt!y rubbed and scraped, and
In many Instances permanent injury Is

Shrewd Advice.
The virtues of a keen business man
are often negative rather than posi

asked.
"Honesty and sagacity."
"But what do you consider the mark

"Always to keep your word."

"Never to give your word."
