THE CARGADORS OF MEXICO COM PETE WITH HORSES AND MULES, Carrying Enormous Loads for Incred ible Distances—Working Cheaper Than the Beasts of Burden. ONE of the most interesting in stitutions in the Mexican re public is the cargador. This cargador is a hardy and pow erfully built man who earns a living by carrying upon liis back heavy loads, a cargo being a measure of weight of 300 pounds which such a person is sup posed to be able to carry, hence the name cargador. The peculiar individual is not the product of a single section of the country; on the contrary, his sphere is general. In the cities he is one of the first persons whom a stranger meets as he alights from the platform of the cars or the step of the stago coach. The cargador rushes up to the arrival and offers to carry his baggage, from his hand satchel up to his heaviest trunk, regardless of its woight, or size, or the distance to be covered. In the city ho also enters into successful com petition with the pack mules and de livery wagons, carrying heavy loads of merchandise to and from the busi ness houses, and in such places whore corn and fodder have become un commonly dear through prevailing drought, or where the streets are stony and uneven, the cargador has al most entirely superseded both pack mules and delivery wagon. While such are his chief occupations he does not draw the lino at anything, and can be frequently seen carrying ore out of the mines, water through the town, and even corpse and colli u to the grave. Out of the city the occupation of the cargador is equally diversified. Above all things ho is a pack man, as the mule, horse, or ass is a pack animal, and he enters into activo competition with them in the matter of carrying freight into and out of towns where railroads have not yet made their ad vent, or where the topography of the country precludes the use of the heavy freight wagons. In places where he has the least advantage over the ani mals there he thrives best. This per haps accounts for the great numbers in which he exists in the almost inac cessible "sierra" districts. The mountain cargador, who scales the dizzying precipices and descends the deep ravines of the Sierra Madres, is by far the hardiest and most inter esting type of his class. Five feet six inches is his usual height, and 140 pounds tb.e average weight. He be longs to the dark complexioned and ignorant portion of the masses, called by the better class of people "In dios." As he stands before one, so short, slightly stooped, with thin, long face and apparent lack of chest, one would scaroely think him capable of walking the smoothest level with such stagger ing loads as ho daily packs through Borne mountain pass. To be fully ap preciated ho must be seen stripped of his shirt and with his cotton trousers rolled up, ready to pick up his load. Then tho powerful development of this swarthy man of the mountain can be observed at his best. His neck is one mass of hard muscles. His shoul ders aro broad and magnificently strong, while the actions of the largo and powerful sinews cau bo traced at every motion that ho makes. His feet, protected only by sandals, or "guaraehes," as is ! called the hard leather sole tightly | strapped between tho toes, over the i arch of the instep and around the ankle, have acquired a hardness that makes them impervious to tho sharp and pointed rocks among which ho picks his way. Such is his physical makeup. In all other respects he is not unlike the thousands of Mexicans of the lower class—filthy and treacherous. Like people of his kind the world over, he wastes his life between tho making and the spending of a penny. Food costs him but a few cents and lodging not a farthing. He rises from his out of-door couch in tho early morning hour and walks many miles •beforo he stops for breakfast. A cup of coffee and a few hot tortillas, which are a pastry of mashed corn and water, and serve as a substitute for bread, form his morning meal. For dinner he feasts on tortillas, a plate of beans and a cup of black coffee. At supper fol low more beans, moro tortillas and an other cup of coffee. If ho is somewhat of an epicure and plays in exception ally good luck ho gets a piece of dried beef now ami then or gloats over a nice fried egg. His three meals, if particularly luxurious, cost him about four cents apiece, though he often j manages to live on six cents a day. Manzatlan, the interesting seaport on tho Pacific coast of tho State of Sinaloa, has long been tho great car gador center of Mexico, partly 011 ac count of its importance as a commer cial city, and partly 011 account of its location at the foot of the Sierra Madre Mountains and the entrance of the various passes across them. In this city the cargador freighter loads his goods for the interior mountain towns and the cargador peddler pur chases his wares, which are imported by the largo mercantile establish ments, tho branch houses of old-estab lished European business concerns, or goods which are smuggled into the country by tho daring shippers who frequent this coast. With his stock of goods, which is limited only by the sizo of his ex chequer, the peddler starts forth to vend liis waroa. One peddles notions, another dry goods and clothing, still another light housekeeping goods, and so on. Each carries his stock econom ically packed in a light wicker basket, j This he holds and carries upon his back by means gf a strong leather j strap attached to the basket and fast ened around his forehead. Thus, his powerful neck is brought into play and made to carry the heavy load, which rests only lightly upon his back. In this manner the cargador peddler carries his heavy burden into every village and town in the almost impassable heights of the Sierra Ma dres. —Chicago Times. SELECT SIFTINOS.

Tho old-time superstitious belief that human beings should sleop with their heads toward tho north is now believed to bo based upon a scientific principle. Some French savants have made experiments upon tho body of a criminal who had suffered death, and these tests go to prove that each hu man body is in itself an electric bat tery, one electrode being represented by tho head and tho other by the feet. Tho body of the subject upon which the queer experiments mentioned above were made was taken immedi ately after death and placed upon a pivotal board, free to move in any di rection. After some little vaccilation the head portion turned toward the north and then remained stationary. One of tho experimenters took hold of the pivot and turned it so that the head pointed south, but upon being freed it almost immediately resumed the first named position—turned until the head pointed north. To prove that this was neither accident nor coinci dent upon muscular twitching, as some had suggested, the board was repeat edly turned half around and theu freed, but always with similar results. —Chicago Herald. All Aged Squaw. Living in a little hut situated on tho shore of Chautauqua Lake is a woman who is deserving of more than passing notice. She is a full blooded Apache Indian, has passed her 100 th birthday, and is still as active as a woman not more than half her age. Her name is Sophia Paul. Between twelve and fifteen years ago she went there with her daughter and took up her abode. The couple had a little means and they bought a small tract of land, large enough to supply them with the neces saries of life, and there thay have lived ever since. The aged woman has full possession of her faculties and does not require spectacles in order to see distinctly. Like the majority of her tribe, how ever, she is stoical, hut rarely ill-hu mored. Many go from Lakewood to see Mrs. Paul cAch season. She realizes that she is an object of interest and is always pleased to see callers. Many a silver quarter and a half dollar is left in some conspicuous place before v.o visitors depart, and this, with the aid of what can be wrung from the soil, provides the pair with a comfortable living. —Dunkirk (N.

Highest of all in Lc;i veiling Power.—Latest U. S. Gov't Report An Amphibious Bout. A new Canadian invention for use In tho lumber districts is coming into i general use in Northern Ontario, it : Is called a steam warping tug. it propels itself on land as well as on water, and is used by lumbermen whose operations are carried on among small lakes connected by Btreams of uncertain navigation. The vessel has proved not only a success, but a great boon to the lum ler trade. Six of these unique crafts have been byllt by tho inventors dur ing the past season, four completed at their yard in Ottawa, and two shipped, ready to ba put together at their destination in the Nipissing district. They are built in scow shape, with steel-shod runners for m iving over land; are thirty-seven feet long, ten feet beam, decked all over, and have sleeping-room for four men in the bow; the bottom and up the bow is covered with steel boiler plate. An engine twenty-two horse power fur nishes steam for ten hours' work, with three quarters of a cord of wood. In the water it moves six miles an hour forward or backward, as re quired, propelled by side wheels. On land it is propelled by having a cable drum on which is coiled live eighths of a mile of steel wire cable, which is fastened with pulleys to a tree or some object In front, the boat moving as the wire is coiled up. The be Per is hung on an axle in the cen ter, and a screw arranged on the front enables the firemen to tip it forward or back, and keep it level going up or down hill.

Great Saving Results From the Use of About Lftfhtning. Although lightning and thunder I occur always simultaneously, an in | terval ot shorter or longer duration is usually observed between these two phenomena, which is duo to the fact that sound travels only at tho rate of 1,100 feet per second, while the pass ago of light is almost instantaueous. Based {upon this fact it is an easy matter to tell, at least approximately, how many miles a thunder-storm is away. A normal pulse will beat about one stroke to the second, and by count ing the pulse beats during the inter val of the ligntnin? and tho thunder the lapse of seconds is arrived at and consequently the number of feet, which can be reduced to miles. For example: If thirty seconds elapse between tho flash of"the light ning and the crash of thunder, the storm center is at a distance of 3'!,- 000 feet, or about 6j miles.
