The average Mexican cook is as primitive as the washerwo-man.

In the homes of the upper classes the brasero is built in of brick, mortar, and piles, its surface as high as an American cook stove, with holes a foot square, under each of which a charcoal fire is kept burning. Some of these stoves have twenty-five or thirty evens and the operation of cooking is so la- borious that the cook has a relay of as- sistants to prepare the vegetables, wash the dishes and attend the fires.

It is more than five hundred years since the fraternal society known as the Florentine Brothers of Mercy was )rganized in the beautiful Italian. city of, Florence. The chief object of this strange body of ‘men is to relieve the nick and injured of their native place. These benevolent workers are called collectively La Misericordia. They are not priests, as has frequently been er- T-he So- ciety is formed of men from all class- es—aristocrats and common folk. They give their services gratuitously. Any Florentine who is an honorable man may belong to the hooded brother- hood. King Humbert of Italy is an honorary member. La M-isericordia does not believe that the left hand =.hould know the good deeds of the right. Only in one way can a Floren- tine know anything of the identity or Social standing of one‘of these broth- ers, and that is byhis boots. Often in a. long processions the heavy boots of :he workman are seen beneath his robe next to the polished ones of a. gentleman. They are heavily cowled, cloaked and masked, andtheir pres- ence suggests death. Their headquar- :ers are in the Clinch of the Miserl- aordia. When an accident occurs in Florence or a man or woman falls ill men the streets the bell in the steeple )f this church tolls twice. Three litrokes of' the bell means the ac- aidemt was fatal. This masked fra- .ernal order was founded early 'in the fifteenth century. It has always been I. mysterious body and one of the best bonducted societies in all Italy.—-—New York World. . A PERILOUS'REM-EDY FOR PEARLS. A Necklace of tho Jewels Immersed in the : Sea to2Bestor-e Their Color. As a rule crowned heads do not vol- nntaril'y cast their court jewels into the sea. Yet this is exactly what the 'Jmpress of Germany has recently lone. Among her jewels was a. very fine necklace of large pearls, exceptional in size and re markably' pure In color. For some time it had not been called into rse, but had Inn in its dark case shut tway from the light and air. One day, iowever, the'empress had occasion to :all for the-' gems. To her surprise Ind horror, she found that the color of she pearls had faded away, all their Iife and beauty departed. The court leweler, when consulted, gave it as his opinion that nothing would restore the pristine purity of the stones save a very lbng immersion in the sea. Ac- cordingly, a glass case was made, with ioles to admit the water, the necklace was placed therein, and the trreasure aunk “full fathoms five” in the waters if the North- Sea. The spot is near the shore, and is watched night and lay by sentries. In the meanwhile ,the , empress is obliged to “possess her soul In patience." Practically Intact.

Could Win Glory in Mexico. . a When the Mexican empire was planned our civil warghad'beenprag- ing for nearly two years. From the standpoint of the French rulers, the moment seemed auspicious for France to interfere in American affairs. The establishment of a great Latin empire, founded under French pretection and developed in the interest of France, which must necessarily derive the of the stupendous wealth which Mexico held ready to pour into the lap of French capitalists —-of an empire which in 1 the West might put a limit to the supremacy of the United States,a as much as counter- balance the British supremacy in the East, thus opposing a formidable check to the encroachments of the An- glo-Saxon race in the interest of the Latin nations—such was Napoleon’s plan, and ,I have been told by one who was close to the imperial family at that time, that thel‘Emperor himself fondly regarded it as “the conception of his reign.” Napoleon III labored under the dis- advantage ot reigning beneath the shadow of a great personality, which, consciously or unconsciously, he ever strove to emulate. But however clev- er he may be, the man who, anxious to 'appear or even to be great, forces fate and creates impossible situations that he may acta leading part before the This is the key to the character of Napoleon III. and to his failures. He looked far away and dreamed of universal achievements, when at ‘r home, at his very door, were the threatening issues he should have mastered. The story is told of him that one evening, at the Tuileries, When the imperial party were playing games, chance brought to the Emperor the question, “What is your favorite occupation?” to which he answered, “To seek the solution of un- solvable problems.” It is also related that in his younger days a favorite ax- iom of his was: your time, they carry you along; st'rugr gle against them, they overcome you; precede them, they support you.” True enough; but only on condition that you will not mistake the shrill chorus of a few interested courtiers and specula- tors for the voice of your time, nor im- agine that you precede your generation because you stand alone. He dreamed 'of far—away glory, and his flatterer‘s told him his dreams were prophetic.— Cornelius Stevenson in Century. WAX FIGURES FOR SHOW WINDOWS; A Knowledge of Anatomy, I)! nwing and lllodeling Required to Make Them. “How long does it take to make one of these?” said the manufacturer in response to an inquiry. “Well, it de- pends entirely upon circumstances. It is not a mechanical operation, the fin- ishing off of a wax model as true to life as this,” and he pointed to the bust of a laughing child whose rosy neck and bright eyes were framed by clustering curls. “To make these one must have studied anatomy, as well as drawing and modeling. We begin in the same way as a sculptor would to make a statue. After the wax has cooled, the eyes are put in, the face is ‘made up’ as theatrical folks say, and the wig is fastened on, and the wooden body is shaped. We make all our hands and feet from life, and they cost about $10. If we have an order for an entire figure, we always model it from life. The life-size waxfigures of in- fants are among the finest things we manufacture, and they add much to. the attractiveness of a show window, as ‘was illustrated last winter, when a Washington street retail dealer dis— played one during the holiday season. The head and shoulders, such as are seen in the milliner’s windows, cost from $40 to $45. The wig makes con- siderable difference in the price, as we use the best hair, and it is expensive, especially the natural blond, which is scarce. The children’s heads cost $20, or thereabout. “All the finishing off imaginable,” 11. continued, “would not make a figure stand the test of a. season behind the glare of a glass unless the wax his a natural pink tinge. The reason some of the models look so deathly is be- ‘cause the wax is bad and not properly colored. We use beeswax, slightly colored, and flesh tints are put‘on in addition."—Boston Transcript. ___.___‘.____ WOMEN IN BUSINESS. Nu Alarm Noed be Felt as to Their En- croachment on Men’s Work, Hon. Carroll D. Wright, in his arti- cle in the Chautauquan, Hurting the Chances of Men in Busi- ness?” makes the following asser- tions: “The fact is absolutely demonstrated that the proportion of females in all occupations followed 'is gradually .in- creasing,'and that women are to some extent entering places at the expense. of. the males. A closer study mall the facts, however, shows’that whie the statement just made is true. no- men are more generally taking places of children. Through the fluence of a higher intelligence in- and the action of law, the number of chil-~ dren employed in manufact.res is constantly decreasing. In 1870 the per centuge of children of the whole num-. ber of persons employed in manufac- turing was contage “as only 2.68. In very many classes, as children have been Excluded through law and other. in- - fineness, adult women have ,to some extent taken their places.

The otter is becoming very rare in southern California.- ago it was taken in goodly numbers. but now it is confined to the outer isl- ands of this region, where high - winds prevail and the water is too rough for any one but the most intrep- ld hunters. 0n the windward side of Santa. Cruz, Santa Rosa, San Nicolas and San Clemente islands, the valuable little animal isyet to be foupd. The otter hunters generally cruise about in a. small schooner iw-hich lies off shore while they go inshore in a double end- - ed small boat, constructed with a view to riding heavy seas. This craft is rowed along outside of the help, the. man, in , the bow, with rifle in hand, watching "the kelp ‘ bed carefully for the .round, eat: like head of the otter that is liable to appear at any moment. The little animal is very shy and is away at the ' slightest alarm. They lie in the kelp 'and play with their young, tossing them in the air or‘riding with them- on the swells. The danger and difficulty in otter bunting can hardly be appreciated. The boat is never still, rising and, falling upon high seas,- and the hunter must watch his opportunity to shoot the lit- tle animal before it can escape, and then cat-ch it before it sinks. Numbers of otters are still caught, but the dan- ger and hardships entailed render it an unprofitable business. In Northern California. the otter hunters have sin- gular observation poles at various points, where men are raised high- above the water, 'who signal to the canoe when an otter appears, or, if it is within reach, shoot at it.—Cor.

A curious plant is the wild tamarind, or jumbai plant, (If the river sides and waste places of tropical America; and very strange are its effects upon the non—ruminant animals that feed upon its young shoots, leaves, pods and seeds as described, by the British As- sociation by Mr. D. Morris, of Kew Gardens. It causes horses to lose the hair from their manes and tails, has a similar'effect upon mules and donkeys, and reduces pigs to complete naked- ness.

One instance is cited in which the ani- mal lost its 11me too, and had to be kept in slings until they grew again and hardened. Ruminant animals are not thus affected, and the growth of the plant is actually encouraged in the Bahamas as a fodder plant for cat-' tle, sheep and goats. The «inference in its. action upon ruminants and non- ruminants is probably due‘ to changes effected upon it in the chewing of the cud—Popular Science. ‘ The Alaskan Squaw. Alaskan squaws are not sensitive on the subject of their age; on the con- trary, they take some trouble to make it known to the world. They wear a piece of wood or bone in the lower lip, the size of the ornament indicating the age of the owner. When a girl marries her lower lip is pierced, and a peg or wood or a piece of bone the size of a pea inserted. As she grows older this is increased in size until it is almost as wide as her chin, and one-fourth of an inch high. The result is naturally most unsightly.—Phllade1phia Ledger. «Japanese Sake.

But no wonder,‘ for, from the Duke’s point of view, he. has but two great objects 'in :life to achieve. The first is to make the Duchessfor- get as soon as possible that she was born in America, and the second to be Prime Minister-of England.
