A Garcia (Mexico) correspondent of
the Philadelphia Tithes writes : Many
things strike with a pleasing senso of
novelty on the eye and ear of one who,
coming straight from the busy haunts
of more civilized man, finds himself
for the first time in the Btreets of one
of the smaller Mexican towns. The
houses, to begin with, are unlike any
thing lie has loft behind him. Plat
roofed, one-storied edifices, they are,
for the most part, built of "adobe," or
sun-dried mud bricks. The poorer
ones have no opening except the one
door leading from the street, and the
cool gloom of their interiors contrasts
pleasantly with the fierce glare out
side. The better class ones are plas
tered and whitewashed or painted dull
pink or purple or yellow, or orna
mented with designs much resembling
wall-paper, and giving the ht mo the
appearance of having been turned in
side out. All windows have project
ing framei heavily barred with wood
or protected by iron gratings. The
space above doors and windows is
often tastefully decorated with designs
in raised plaster, and the great wooden
gates which close the entrance to the
"patio," or inner court, round which
all better-class houses are built, are
often quaintly andrichly carved.
Very quiet and strangely free from
all appearance of hurry and harsh
noises are the streets. Carts are very
few and far between, and those that
do make their appearance, at long in
tervals, are heavy two-wheeled wooden
vehicles, drawn by one or more yoke
of oxen, and their gentle rumbling, as
they are slowly dragged along, can
hardly be termed a noise, certainly not
' a harsh one. The streets are sandy,
for the most part, and the foot pas
sengers lightly shod, many of them in
sandals and the younger ones bar -t-ed,
and all these make little or no i. iso
as they pass quietly to and fro.
.Ueither can the church bells ringing
for matins and even-song be strictly
called a noise.
Xo one seems in a hurry in these
places. And why should they be?
The necessaries of life are few and
very cheap, and the extra dollars
needed for the Sunday cock-fight or
the weokly game of " monte " of the
men, and the fan or comb or silver
shawl-pin of the women, easily earned,
ana so the good man is not obliged to
walk fast on off days when he is in
town an! goes round to the " matan
za," or butcher's 6hop, to buy a piece
of meat for dinner, and there is not
the least rea:on why he should
not stop for twenty minutes
on the sidewalk and talk to
Juan or Jose, whom he has en
countered on the way, or spend half an
hour in at the " tendajo " hanging over
the counter and discussing a glass of
mescal and the crops with Tomas or
Telesforo. The good wife, too, rises
early, and the day is still young by the
time she hai fetched water from the
rivix and swept the earthen floor of
' the one living room and the "patio"
outside and given the good man his
breiikfast and dispatched him to the
fields, and she has ample time to don
her black head-shawl and trot ofE to
morning service, and by no means hur
ra s herself, as she walks home again
and drops Donnas J uana and Maria and
Victonana at their respective doors,
stopping awhile to exchange a few
parting remarks with each; ample time
has she, too, to prepare the inevitable
tortillas, beans and coffee for the mid
day meal.
From noonday till between 3 and
o'clock in the afternoon (during which
hours the inhabitants are all indoors
eating dinner and taking tho subse
quent "siesta ) is the quietest and
laziest time of all. Then, indeed, does
the little town seem like a city of tho
dead.
Between 3 and 4 o'clock the town
begins to wake up slowly. At 4, or
thereabouts, comes " merh nda," a sort
of afternoon tea, consisting of coffee
and cakes. At 5 the women dress and
go out visiting. At 7 the bulls sound
for oracion," or evening service; at 8
... comes supper, ana ov y all is sun as
thff grave, except on Sunday nights,
when the band plays in the little
"plaza," or moonlight nights, when
the rich notes of the mo -king bird fill
the silence and make the exiled Eng
lishman think of nightingales and
home. Of the animal lite in the
streets, the dogs, by their number and
infinite variety of size and shape, de
serve mention. Many of them have
an evident and strong admixture of
coyote blood in their vein?. The
large, pricked-up ears, the bushy,
drooping tail, the slinking gait,
aa aru mere, and the resem
blance in soine cases is most striking,
The novelty to the strangi-r in this line
Is the pelon, or hairless dog. Sharp
nosed, short-legged, long-bodied, iu
size equal to a small fox-terrier, Lis
- blue-black body is ai inm cent of hair
as the palm of one's hand, save and
except on the top of his head and tho
extreme tip of his tail where ho has
tufts of dirty yellow bristles which
give the finishing touch to his gener
ally disgusting appearance. This in
teresting animal is said by tho Mexi
cans to be good for the rheumatism.
The elderly Mexican fe:i:a!e allictedin
that way, when she fee!s the premoni
tory twinge.i, takes to her bed in com
pany with her " pelon." When she
gets up again she has got rid of her
trouble and the dog is laid up. How
he in turn gets rid of the cmiplaint is
not generally Known.
Children are numerous, especially
around tho poorer houses. They are
of all complexions from brownish
black, witli jet-black hair and yes, to
fair-skinned, fair-haired and blue-eyed.
Some of them uro pretty, and notably
bo some of the elder uiits, whojc sweet
iiliio cotf'plcxioned, oval faces, (lark
melting eyes and graceful forms bring
to one's mind tho "angcli sunt" of l'opo
Gregory.
Of the elder folk tho most pictur
esque are the " va pieres" and team
sters in their shirts of loather or dingy
lim n, with yellow leggings and great
felt or straw sombreros. Of the youngor
women many are pretty, with lino eves
and hair. Their complexions, however.
are not good and they seem to fade and
grow old early. All the women wear
over their heals light shawls, cither of
dulll blue cotton stuff or black, nd
these they drape about heal,
shoulders and chest in a most
effectively picturesque way. The
rest of their garments are of cotton or
some thin-textured black material, and
seem to dispose themselves alwava
more or les3 gracefully on the persons
of their wearers. If the Mexican
women only knew it, they look better
in black than any other color. Unfor
tunately they don't know it and some
of them will launch out into colors
with most disastrous results as far as
appearance goes.
I lnally tho coloring of the back
ground which frames in all these pic
tures is, to American or European eyes,
strange and not without its charm
to some of them. The dull white of
the dusty streets, and the gray of the
adobe walls, and tho dull red, dull blue
and white of tho plastered houses har
monize well with the pale blue of
the sky and the darker blue and gray
of the stony, barren hills all round.
Against these the dark green masses
of the " palmas" and pecan trees st ind
out in bold relief, and tho whol is
ighted up by tho bright red of some
Mexican's blanket, tho little crimson
flag at the end of a long reed which
projects from the window of some
butcher's shop or the scarlet of the
pomegranate blossoms which hang in
clusters over the garden walls.
The Paradise FMi.
The paradise fish have very large
fins, less developed in the female. The
brownish color of the upper sldechanges
into a greenish gray on the lower sido ;
the markings consists of changeable
yellowish green or blue and red cross
lines. Their length is from eight to
nfnocentimeters.
Very little is known of these fish in
their free life. They are universally !
kept in captivity in China, and treatel
as our gold-fish, but are more easily
propagated in a limited space.
Ihev are better adapted for house
hold pits than other fish of this class,
as they can live in a much less quantity
of water, and can remain out of the
water for twenty minutes and more
without injury. Giraud brought 100
of these fish from China, and although
during the tedious journey he was not
able to give them sufficient room or
the necessary care and nourishment,
twenty-two of them lived.
lienecke says that in May of the
year 1S73 he obtained a pair of para
dise fish. They were placed In a basin
containing about forty liters of water.
They immediately went to work to
devour the small crawfish and larva)
of insects which had been placed in tho
vessel. After these were consumed
two crawfish, water fleas and mussels
were put in. They mussels they had
not received before, and evidently had
never eaten them, lot at hrst they only
oo k hold of the little annua sand then
released them with a shako of the
head, but after, a day or two they only
ate the mussels, leaving the w. ter fleas
placta in the basin unmolested. One
day no mussels could be obtain, d, and
they ate greedily not only small but
very large angle-worms, from five to
eight centimeters long and two milli
meters thick. They always rejected
the intestines of the worms. When
the worms were put in the basin a
they were taken from the ground they
would snake them two or three times,
then let them go, then throw them
around in the water, in order to shake
ofif the dirt before eating them. If tho
worm struggled, they would sling it
against the water plants or the sides
of the basin.

"'No one who was born in a foreign

A Chauce for Inventors.
In the heavy thunderstorms which
occurred in various parts of the country,
says a New York Sun editorial, the
lightning manifested its well-known
affinity for petroleum. Three large
oil tanks were struck. One of them
was near Clean, in this State, another
at Muncy Station, l'enn, and the third
in the yard of the Standard Oil com
pany at Communipaw, X. J. This last
o::e had very little o!l in it, and was
not consumed, but tho others, with
their contents, were burned.
The attractive influence exerted by
petroleum, or its vapor, which renders
these great oil tanks so liable to de
struction by thunderbolts, docs not
seem to bo very well understood. If
it was, wo should hardly bo without
any efficient means of guarding such
structures against lightning. The
subject is well worthy of attention
and study on the part of men of science.
At present tho safeguards are so in
a lequate that an o 1 tank is not only
very likely to bo destroyed by any
thunderstorm, but to act also as a lire
brand to every building anywhere near
it.
The inventor who devises a method
.which shall afford to oil tanks absolute
protection against lightning, ought to
bo able to make a million of dollars by
the invention.

Nearly forty years Bffo ft yountf man, of
fintimml endowments, beijan to mold publio
opinion upon a subject of vital importance.
Like all pioneers, his early pffortH wore un
imoccssful, but his ability and tho value of
his work noon won publio confidence, nnd
lo-dny there is not a village or hainlot in the
country that has not been inrluciiml by lr.
l)io Lewis. When, tliorrfori U was learned
yesterday Hint he contemplated the establish
ment of n large magazine in this oily, the
fact was deemed so important that a repre
sentative of this paper was commissioned to
see him nnd ascertain the truth of the rumor.
Dr. Dio ljewis is n gentleman of aiity years
nnd two hundred pounds, with snow-white
hair nnd beard, but probably tho most per
fect picture of health and vigor in the me
tropolis. He is a living exponent of his
teachings, and notwithstanding the amount
of work ho has already done, promises still
greater activity for years to come, lie re
ceived ti e interviewer most courteously, and
in reply to n question said:
"It is true 1 have come to Kew York to
establish n monthly magazine. I hnve como
here for the same reason that! went to Boston
twenty-live joins ago. Then Boston was tho
tet platform in the country from which to
peak of education. New York lias now bo
comomoBt hospitable to progressive thoughts
and especially so to movements on behalf of
physical training.
"I have reason to know the great nnd
abiding interest of the American people in
this subject. They have como to realize that
the future of onr country pivots upon our
physical vitality, and especially upon tho
vigor of our women. My new magazine will
bear the titlo 'Dio Lewis' Monthly,' nnd be
devoted to Sanitary and Social Scionco. 1
hope through its pages to inaugurate a now
departure iu hygiene."
"llavoyoii not written several books on
tho subject?"
" Yes, nine volumes, nnd some of them like
'Onr Girls,' published by tho llarpors, have
had an enormous circulation, but the best
work of my life I shall give tho world in tho
new magazine. Forty years of skirmishing
ought to conclude with ton years of organized
warfare."
" Doctor, what is the occasion of this now
interest in health questions?"
"It has come through suffering, which
seems the only road to self knowlodge. The
stomach, heart, kidneys or liver fall into
trouble, happiness is gone, and then poople
give attention to their health."
" Which of these organs is most f reqnontly
the victim of our errors?" asked the reporter.
" Within the last few years diseases of the
Kidneys have greatly multiplied. When I
was engaged in practice, thirty-tivo anil forty
years ago, serious disease of the kiduoys was
rnro; but now distressingly frequent and
fatal."
"To what do you attribute this great in
crease of kidney troubles?"
"To the iKoof stimulating drinks, adul
terated food and irregular habits of life."
" Doctor, have you any confidence in the
remedy of which we hear so much nowadays,
arner's Safe Cure?"
1 believe in tho ounce of prevention,
rather than in a ton of cure."
"But have you noticed tho remarkable
testimonials of Warner's remedy?"
"1 have, and confess that they have puz
zled and astonished me. The commendations
of proprietary medicines usually come from
unknown persons residing in back counties.
But I see in our most reputable newspapers
the warmest praiso of Warner's Safe Cnro
from College Professors, respectable physi
cians, and other persons of high intelligence
and chnrnoler. To thrust such testimony
aside may be professional, but it is unmanly.
No physician can forgot that valuable addi
tions to our Materia Modica have sprung from
just such sources. 1 wns bo impressed with
this cloud of witnesses that I purchased some
t ottles of Warner's Safe Curo at a neighbor
ing drug store, and analyzed one of them to
r-ee if it contained anything ioisonoue. Then
1 took three of the prescribed doses at once,
ond found there was nothing injurious in it.
I do not hesitate to snv thnt if I fonnd niv
kidneys in serious trouble, I should use tliii
reir.e.ty, because of the hopelessness of all
ordinary treatment, nnd beoause when a
hundred intelligent reputable persons unite
in the statement that a certain remedy has
cured them of a grave malady, I choose to
Uel eve that tliey speak tho truth.
' Hut as you may know, my great interest
in life lies in prevention. For forty years 1
have labored in this field. One of the phases
ot my work m rsew England was the estab
lishment of the Ladies' Seminary at Isling
ton, Mass. My aim wus to illustrate tli
possibilities in the phsical traiuing of girls
during their school life. This institution
became, before I left it, the largest and most
successful seminary for young women ownoj
aud managed by one person iu our country.
I sat down to dinner every day with a family
of two hundred persons. Tho remarkable
results of this muscle training among girls
wero given iu my paper published iu tha
S'orlli .duirrt'can lieview of December, 18)SJ.
Besides iNtablished the N'ormul Institute
for Physical Training in Boston, and for ten
years wns its President and Manager. Dr.
Walter Channiug. Dr. Thomas lloskius. Pro
fessor Leonard and others were among its
teachers, and more than four hundred per
f ons took its diploma Rnd went out into all
parts of the land to teach the new school of
gymnastics. And now the years lelt to me I
propose t? devote to the magazine which 1
have come here to establish. It will be the
largest periodical ever devoted to this field of
literature, and will present the hundred nnj
one questions of hygiene with the simplicity
of a child stalk, lo this end all so-called
learning will be subordinated, the maii.
zine will be more or lees illustrated, aud will
strive t3 reach a high place in the confidence
and huartrt of the people. Iu a few weeks
our first number will appear, nnd we shall
fondly hope for it a hearty welcome."
Tho fuels above narrated are indood most
important. It is gratifying to know that th
lifelong experiences of a gentleman who
Btands without a peer in successfully demon
strating tho principles of hygiene; whose
heart has always been iu symputhy with tho
utllicted, and whose brain has ever been ac
tive in planning for their relief, are to be
given to the publio through the pages of a
magazine. And it i.H specially Hiirniliciint

Though Salt Rheum
Does not directly Imperil Ufa, It ta a distressful, voia
tious and resolute complaint. Patient endurance of Its
numerous very small watery pimples, hot and smarting,
require true fortitude. If the discharged matter sticks.
Itches, and the scabs leave underneath a reddened sur
face, the disease has not departed, and Hood's Sana'
parilla. In moderate doses, should be continued.
Famous Case in Boston
My little 4-year-old girl had a powerful eruption on
her faco and head. Wo had to shave her head. Ju
throe weeks, with Hood's Barsaparilla, the Bores begun
to heal ; two bottles made her eyMi as clear as ever. To
day ahe is as well as I am." John CaKET, 164 D Street,
Bouth Boston,
"I suffered with salt rheum eight years, and found
no relief in the medicines I used, nor in tho physicians
employed. Hood's ISanuiparilla cured me. My son waa
afflicted with salt rheum also and it cured him." Mils.
