MEN AS PACK ANIMALS.
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most entirely superseded both pack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.

Tiie Science nt Sleeping.
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.

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

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. An al
most accurate calculation can ho
made by using a watch with a minuto
dial.—Louisville Post-Dispatch.
