FREELAND, PA., APRIL 29, 1895.
Disrespect of Americans.
There is A growing tendency amonf
Americans generally, and among news
paper writers in particular, to speak
with ilippant familiarity of those in au
thoi ity. Our great men como from tho
common people, and perhaps it is an
unconscious desire to remind them that
they are of tho same clay as those who
are as yet at tho foot of tho ladder of
fame that causes the constant free-and
easy, would-be-witty talk about presi
dents, governors, judges-and other high
officials. As a rule, says Youth's Com
panion, the poorer tho humor the
greater the flippancy. Every fourth
rate paragrapher and overy barroom
wit thinks he adds pungency and point
to his remarks by casually referring to
the president of the United States as
"Grovcr," or to tho governor of the
stato as the "old man," or to the mayor
of the city as "his royal nibs," and so
ad nauseam. Apart from the execrable
taste shown in this cheap and vulgar
kind of foolery, it is worth while to re
member that there is truth in the say
ing that familiarity breeds contempt.
In somo foreign countries, no doubt, of
ficial authority is carried to excess
and becomes burdensome; but with us
the tendency is the other way — to dis
regard proper laws and regulations be
cause wo have not been trained to re
spect those who should enforce them.
Tho calm dignity and courtliness of
manner of George Washington are not
tho gift of all American leaders, but all
are entitled to at least courtoous treat
ment. In honoring the man we honor
tho office and also the people by whom
it is bestowed. Thus in the end respect
from a democratic people toward those
in authority is nothing more or less
V .han sol F-respect.
American Equality.
Twenty-five years more of develop
incnt in our houses, hotels and res
taurants, if conducted on present lines,
will produce an enormous ducking and
scraping, fee-seeking, livery-wearing
servant class, which will go far to es
tablish tho claim put forth by some of
our critics, that equality on this side of
the water means only political equal
ity, and that our class distinctions,
though not so obvious, are not less
genuino than elsewhere. In this event,
says a writer in Scribner'S Magazine,
the only logical note of explanation to
send to the powers will be that social
equality was never contemplated by
tho signers of the Declaration of In
dependence, and that, though it is true
that any man may become president of
tho United States, there are as great
inequalities in morals, intellect and
manners among sons of liberty as
among subjects of tho czar. To this
the powers will bo justified in uttering
a disappointed and slightly ironical
"Ohl"
SOME years ago Frederick Douglass
addressed a convention of negroes in
Louisville, says the Buffalo Courier.
He said, in the course of his remarks,
that ho did not think an amalgamation
of tho white and black race desirable,
tho pure negro being, in his opinion,
the best of tho race. While speaking
his eyeglasses continued to slide from
their perch. "But I wish," interpo
lated tho speaker, "I wish wo could get
up some sort of an alloy for tho negro
which would insuro a nofco capable of
holding spoctaoles."
TIIKRE IS so much wheat and tho
price is so low in tho northwest this
season that many farmers are leaving
their wheat standing. In Spokane
county, Ore., thero are a number of
fields of wheat, rnnglng between one
and two hundred acres each, and yield
ing eighteen or twenty bushels to tho
acre, which the owners will not cut, as
tho returns would not cover tho cost of
harvesting.

The readers of this paper will bo
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to care in all its stages and that is
catarrh. Hall's catarrh cure is the only
positive cure now known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being a constitu
tional diseaso requires a constitutional
treatment. Hall'S Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon tho blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of
the disease, and giving tho patient
strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work.
The proprietors have so mucn faith in
its curative powers, that they offer one
hundred dollars for any case that it fails
to cure. Bend for list of testimonials.

the elders of the party.
"Wal, yes, I did, fer a fact; the big

DOUBLE-HEADED SNAKE.
Remarkable Creature Killed In a Field
Near Jackson, Tenn.
Several weeks ago, while A. J. John
ston and his son were loading hay in a
field near Jackson, Tenn., they uncov
ered a large moccasin snake. Mr.
Johnston immediately crushed the head
of the reptile, and supposed that ho
had killed it, for the blow would have
dispatched any ordinary snake. But
this one proved to belong to a superior

class of reptiles. It had two perfect
heads, one at each extremity. The son,
seeing his snakeship moving oif, re
marked that he thought that his father
had killed the snake. Then, on exam
ining tho snake more closely, they dis
covered its peculiarity, but it was too
late to capture the reptile with both
heads alive, and' Mr. Johnston finished
killing it by sticking his pitchfork
through tho other head.
Tho dried skeleton, with skin intact,
is in possession of B. 0. Snider, the
jeweler, at Jackson, and will be sent to

A Notable lowa Wadding.
A somewhat notable wedding oc
curred at the residence of G. W. Profltt,
in Swan township, Marion county, la.,
recently. Mr. Profltt and Miss Char
lotte Smith were married in Tennessee
thirty-eight years ago. They have
lived in this (Swan) township thirty
six years. The marriage of their ninth
daughter, Dlcy, a beautiful and most
excellent young lady, to Rev. James
Bruce, a highly esteemed Christian
gentleman, was duly solemnized by
Rev. P. C. Stiro, of Pleasantvllle. If
anybody can break this record of nine

in so short a time, let 'em speak out.

CHILDREN IN MEXICO.
Many of Them Aro Bald to Bo
Strangely Handsome.
Both Boys and G.rls Are Ftronff an/
Graceful and Are Natural Artists
—Trained to T'.vo Remuner
ative Industries.
Many of tho Mexican children nra
Btrangely handsome, with a sad, ma
ture-looking beauty. Almost all of
them are of mixed Indian and Spanish
blood. All of them are artists.
The Spaniards who conquered Mexico
and the Indians who were there at the
time mixed themselves up in a racial
tangle that we are absolutely unable to
unravel. But for all that, the half
breed children of Mexico arc to-day in
many matters and in most manners
more like the children of old Spain than
are the children of modern Spain. Tho
American Indians are the most conserv
ative people on earth. The Indians of
Mexico, says the Pall Mall Budget, hav
ing, through intermarriage, adopted
the customs of old Spain—the Spain
that Cortczknew —have preserved these
customs as they have not been preserved
in Cordova or Madrid. Tho usages of
old Spain have become bono of the
Mexican bone, flesh of the Mexican
flesh, and will so remain, so long as
Mexico remains a characteristically in
dividual nation. To-day in Mexico (es
pecially in tho least travel-crossed
parts) the daily lives of the children aro
more like the daily lives of the children
over whom Ferdinand helped Isabella
to reign than arc the daily lives of the
children who to-day sun themselves in
the bright realms of Spain's baby king.
I have said that most of the children
of Mexico arc of mixed blood. There
ore, however, a few proud old Mexican
families who have never married with
the natives. Certainly the children of
these few families are the fairest to
look upon of Mexico's youngsters.
Mexican children of the needy clnss
used to be trained to two remunerative
industries to which they aro trained no
more—at least, the boys were. These
two industries were diving for coins
and running.
Diving for coins is a thriving trade in
the waters of many latitudes, and in
many longitudes; but there is nothing
to prove that diving was brought to
Mexico from other countries, llut there
▲ ZiITTLB SBNOB.
are proofs and to spare that diving was
for centuries part of the athletic train
ing of every healthy Mexican boy. The
boys of Mexico no longer dive for coins,
because the law forbids it. So at least
a high official writes who was entreat
ed to send mo a vivid picture of a Mexi
can boy diving. Now here is news, in
deed!
In years not long gone by a goodly
number of Mexican boys were, as soon
as they could toddle, trained to run.
They inherited supple hips, strong
thighs, tireless legs and nimble feet
from their fathers and their grand
fathers, and their great-grandfathers'
great-grandfathers. They had little
or nothing save poor humanity in com
mon with Hamlet; least of all were
they ever "scant of breath," nor
were they often "fat." When they
grew to manhood and profession
al perfection they joined a corps
which formed the only trusted, the only
reliable messengers of Mexico. They
often ran 350 miles in four and a half
days. They made round trips of 700
miles in nine days, and were handsome
ly remunerated by twenty-five or thirty
Mexican silver dollars. But this is an
item of Mexico's past. The law—the
law of nature, not the law of Mexico
has stopped in and said: "Enough! No
more!" The Mexican runners are dead,
killed by their mad overwork, and the
boys of Mexico aro no longer trained
to a livelihood that invai iably proved
suicidal. The boys who used to be
trained to this business were always of
quite or almost unmixed Indian blood.
Traces of the old rushing national
habit are quite discernible to those who
study tho children of modern Mexico
Those children, for all their stolid
faces and pathetic eyes, for all their
Latin languor of motion, aro wonder
fully quick of limb.
In the cities of Mexico the vast ma
jority of the children aro dressed very
similarly to tho children of European
cities.
An Eg|t of lilßantlc Size.*
Ono of the most interesting specimens
In tho National museum at Washington
is a cast of an egg of most gigantic size,
which was found in a guano bed on the
Island of Madagascar about twenty-five
years ago. The shell of this egg will
hold almost exactly two gallons of
liquid, which would muko its capacity
equal to 148 average eggs laid by tho
common barnyard fowl. Tho bird
which laid this mammoth egg is now
extinct, and has been for probably 200
years. To tho scientist—who knows it
by its bones and eggs—it is known as
the epiornis, and its restored skeletons
prove it to have been a bird at least 13
feet in height. Arab sailors who vis
ited Madagascar centuries ago, when
tho epiornis was still living, aro be
lieved to have brought back tho stories
concerning it which finally developed
into the fabulous narratives of the roa
