Fannie B Ward writes from Mexico
that not only the arixto rata, but all
Mexicans with any pretensions to social
standing, require that every dish, if it be
but a spoonful of peas, be serves! ns a
separate course for which clean platen
must be provided, making the most
common-place dinner a long and
s ercinonimii affair Wine is always
served with the substantial*, and coffee
and cigarettes after dessert. The Mex
icans have no fondness for sour things,
therefore vinegar, pickles, etc., find no
place here but everybody has a well
developed *■ sugar-tooth ” and dairies,
(sweet mcatsi, are in great demand.
There is no end to the varieties
of duler which a Mexican house
wife will compound, from simple
taffy to the most elaborate preserved or
candied fruits, sauces, jellies and mar
malades. Canning is unknown here,
nnd it is not needed in a summer coun
try where fruits arc perennial. I have
eaten roses preserved entire, eacli deli
cate, sugar frosted leaf intact upon the
stem, making a conserve fit for n fairy;
and everybody knows tliat preserved
rose-leaves, like guava jelly, are common \
in tropical Inrders. Mince stoves are
comparatively unknown, nnd therefore
ovens are non <*(, except those ponderous
affairs of adobe used by the I>:end
bakers, pies and cakes are never seen in
the Mexican menu. To bo sure, there
are various articles called cakes to lie
found in a few French bakeries, but they
bear no more likeness to the cake which
graces the daily tea-table of every Amer
ican than tor'nVa* resemble American
bread. *
During ray first year in this country I
greatly missed the accustomed edibles,
and found it extremely didicult to sub
sist upon diet so entirely new. One of
my carlic-t experiences was to reside for
four long months in a Mexican fatni.y
who spoke no word of English nnd were
entirely unacquainted with any inode of
living but that, essentially Mexican.
They were pooplo of wealth ami educa
tion, cxccuing’y kind hearted, hospi
table and what is called “good livers.”
Four times a day their table literally
ftroaned under its burden of national tie
icncics; yet 1 grew thin and thinner,
and actually retired every night so
downright hungry that 1 could have
wept, if tears would have brought
some good fairy with a slice of
Yankee bread anti butter! .Just fancy it
—four months without butter, tea, steak,
potatoes, pie, cake—in short, without
anything to which one lmd been accus
tomed, yet compelled to suffer the tor
tures of Tantalus by be ug seated four
limes a day, an boor at a stretch, beside
tallies loaded with dishes one turned
from in disgust. Suspecting the cause
of my rapid lo— of tlodi, a sympathetic
Herman friend, who resided near the
border, sent me a huge, rouud loaf of
icily cake, large as a milk pan and de
licious enough to gladdcu the eyes of any
home-sick Yankee. It arrived in the
forenoon, and, ofj’cotirsc, I carried it,
uncut, to my hostess, with n'Tcquost to
pnt it upon the table, lint whaK'vu*
my surprise, on being called to dinner,
to find that the usual menu had been set
aside in my honor, and the festive board
boro not a single article except the big
cake, cut in enormous slices. Well, we
nto nnd ate of it, there being nothing else
toeat—mid an hour or two later there were
three sick children; whereupon the lady
of the house, with her hand upon her
diaphragm, remarked that she thought
the “Atnoricau l’an Differ” (sweetened
bread) not so wholesome as .Mexican
food! In this family it was the custom
at dinner to put tipe grapes into the
soup, or to slice peaches into it, or any
other fresh fruit that happened to bo on
hand; and every one of them poured
molasses or curdled milk ovor the frejoles
wiiich lmd been fried in greaso and
mixed with onions and cheese. With
their, a favorite delicacy was young kid,
especially the brains and head. When
ever cabesa do cnbrita (kid’s head) was a
dinner-dish thcro was great rejoicing
among the youngsters and an expression
of deep-seated satisfaction upon the
faces of the elders. The mistress of the
manse would arise and thrust her knife
just bark of the forehead, scooping out
the brains and spreading upon hot
tortillas for the eiumorous children.
One day the lady of the house—who,
bv the way, was a lovely woman, a
devout Christian, a tender mother and
devoted to her husband and home,
accomplished, withal, for a Mexican
woman—came to my room with the
astonishing information that she was
going into the kitchen to make some
duler, inhonor of her eldest son’s “saint’s
day,” and wouldn’t I come out in the
course of an hour nnd witness her in tho
act t Certainly I would, nnd gladly,
too, for when a Mexican lady condescends
to put her dainty feet nnd unaccus
tomed hands into the servants’ domain,
it is a household event by no means
to be overlooked. So I wrote a dozen
pages, to give her tinio to get well under
way, and then repaired to the kitchen,
which was situated on the other side of
the great casa, beyond the sunny court
yard, with its flowers and fountain, its
banana and orange trees, at least an
eighth of a mile from ray apartment,
(hough enclosed within the same adobe
walls. There she sat flat upon the floor, 1
in the iniddleof the kitchen (there being,
is usual, no chairs), her round arms
bared above the elbows, and her pudgy
little hands immersed in some sticky
compound, while no less than five ser
vants ran hither and thither to ito
her bidding, bringing a little more sugar,
flour or water, stirring the coals in the
busier beside her, greasing tins upon
which to drop the duler when cooked,
etc. Her beautiful dark eyes glared with
the excitement of the occasion, and her
husband and brother-in-law, both men
of middle age, one a celebrated physi
cian. the other a dignified judge, stood
watching her with admiring pride de
picted upon every line of their swarthy
countenances. Drorently tho children
joined the group. Several neighbors
dropped in to odd their plaudits, aud
soon the innumerable dome-tic pets—
dogs, rats, pigs and jiarrots—seemed to
feel that something remarkable was iu
progress and shared the geueral excite
ment. The duler turned out to be a sort
of candy, made of white sugar and flour,
rMembling caramels when finished—a
feeble imitation of those which may be
bought an? where in the United Mates
for fifteen cents per pound. That uight
the exhausted but triumphant lady re
tired to rest in the happy consciousness
of a great aehi -vemett; and for the next
week we had cat smell for breakfast,
dinner, supper, and "between meals. *

Spectacles for Horses.
A correspondent of the Manchester
(England) Chronicle tells the readers of
tliat paper some interesting c'rcuni
tames in connection with a “good grey
steed in his own possession.” lie canu:
to the conclusion that this e |nine friend
of his was short-sighted. I!e “couldn’t
see a carrot two yards off,” lie tells us.
So he took the quadrupc 1 to an oculist
living in the neighborhood, who rnnde
the neeci ary inspection and certified
that the horse bad a No. i eye, and re
qwired concave glassscs. The concave
glasses thus indicated uere obtained anil
buckled on to the head-stall. “The
horse seemed a little bit surprised.” he
says, “ when I first put them on him, but
liis amazement rapidly gave way to
demonstrations of the keenest pleasure.
He now stands all the morning looking
over the half-door of his stable with hi
spectacles on, gazing around him witli an
air of sedate enjoyment.
“When I take him out for a drive,”
eontinues the veraeious narrator, “he
capers al.oiil as frisky us a kitten; Ins
manner is altogether changed from his
former timidity, and lie has got over a
lmd habit of shying which once troubled
him.” A week ago or two, however, he
turned the animal out to pa-ture for a
few days without his specs, and he at
once appeared to be uneasy and uncom
fortable. All day lie hung about the
gate leading into the meadow, whinny
ing in a plaintive minor key, until his
master, seeing wlint was the trouble, sent
up to thostablc for the hen l-stall. As soon
ns the spectacles were placed upon his
nose, he was so glad that he rubbed his
muster’s shoulder with his nose, then
kicked up his heels aud danced down to
the pasture in n paroxyism of delight.

sickness, which, when prolonged and in
tensified, h cAmos a mortal disease.
Tho melancholy of the nature which loves
hon e and despairs of again seeing it
preys upon tho nervous system till it is
wrought into a state of abnormal excite
ment which presents distinct physical
Symplons. Respiration presently be
comes labored, nnd is more like sighing
than breathing; the face /rears the pallor
of a corpse already; the heart beats with
the swiftness of great dei ility; there is
nOappetite, there is no sleep; secretions
become irregular, ami congestion a mat
ter of course; the sight becomes dim,
fever sets in, and cither sudden death
closes the scent, or the exhaustion of the
fever carries off the imtient after pro
longed suffering. There is no cure for
this terrible illness, after it is strongly
established, but return to the native
country, aud sometimes that cure is un
dertaken too late, it attacks mountain
eers, singularly enough, more frequently
than any other class of people, and the
only preventive against it is the presence
of some other equally strong emotion
with tho love of home, or some absorb
ing occupation which leaves one no time
to think, and hardly to feel. Perfectly

the impedimenta of insanity iu au effort
for recovery, and is as pitiable as any

Story of a Swallow.
People have swallowed unpleasant
creatures while incautiously drinking
from brooks aud springs, and it is said a
mouse once ran down a dog's throat; but
we never heard of a boy swallowing a
bird. The lioston Ihrord tells of one
who narrowly escaped doing so. “ I’ve
heard of strange accidents befalling
people," remarked a surgeon the other
evening, “ but the ease 1 was called upon
to utteud tho other afternoon beats any
thing for novelty that over came undci
my notice.
“ A little boy was flying a kite on the
house-top. Another lad two or three
houses away was engaged in the same
diversion. One opened his mouth to
call to the other, and just then a flock of
swallows came flying by. One of the
swallows, evidently confused, flew
against the boy's face, driving his bill
clean through his check. In his agouy
the lad closed his teeth hard and held
the bird fast. The swallow was partly
stunned by the shock, and with the bird
sticking out from his check, the lad ran
down stairs to h : s mother. She removed
the bird and summoned me to attend the
lad. That bird now occupies a handsome
cage in the house, and the ownei
wouldn't part with it under any consid
eration.”

‘ AGRICULTURAL.
TOPim OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
Ullage for Fattening.
The latest comparative trial of silage
in the fattening of cattle by the Koval
Agrie iltural (Society is recorded by Dr.
Yoelcker in the new number of the so
ciety's Journal. From the-same meadow
hay and silage were made, the grass fot
hay weighing 15 tons 7 hundredweight,
sod that for silage a few pounds under
11 tons 2J hundredweight Twelve bul
locks were divided into two equal lots,
one to Ik- fed on hay and the other on
silage, with the additi m of 3 pounds of
cotton cake and 5 pounds of maize meal
for each bullock )>cr day in both lota,
and water at will. After eighty-four
days’ freding, all the hay having been
consumed, the total increase in live
weight of the six bullocks fed on hay
was 9811 pounds, or 1.90 pounds per
head per flay, while that of the six fed
on' silage was !l!r!t pounds, or 1.98 pounds
jier head per day.
As there was originally about 15 hun
dredweight more grass for the hay than
for the silage, and enough of the latter
remained after the hay had been con
sumed to feed tlm six bullocks for a few
days, it appear - that, with a considerably
tma'ler consumption of grass, the ani
mals fed on silage made a slightly greater
gain in live weight The silage in this
case war sour, but of very good quality.
Dr. \ cc!ckcr also gives the results of an
experiment witnessed by him in which
sihrge intended to be sweet, but contain
ing nearly as much ar id ns that used in
the other experiment, was tried agdinst
hay from the same meadow with equal
quantities of other foods. In this case
the gain in I've weight was 1.8 pounds
per head per day among four bullock*
fed on silage, against 1.8 pounds among
four fed on hay.
Dehorning Cat tie.
The subject of dehorning vicious bulls
has received much attention lately iu
agricultural papers, nnd a correspondent
of the lin rat -V w Yorker gives some
valuable advice on the subject. lie
says; “After nnout seven months’ trial I
can add my testimony to the many who
have nlrcidy recommended the practice.
I think the danger to the animals
amounts to nothing. I have dehorned
about eighty cows nnd yearlings. 1
have tried lluulT'k saw. Tt is good, hut
ii small butcher's spring back saw, cost
ing from fifty to seventy-five cents, is
good enough, and the good wife will be
glad to have it to cut beef bones when
not in use on the horns.
“The bulls and cows arc not fastened in
flic sitne way. if the horn is cut in the
right place there will be very little bleed
ing. There will lie no stub horn, but
there will he a good looking mtiley that
will he harmless in the future. I am
quite sure that no one will give up the
practice who once begins. Do nof be
afraid of cutting too elose. If yearlings
or young stork one must cut half an
inch into the skin. There is do loss of
ap|.elite and hut little loss of milk for a
eotipie of milkings. After that lam
satisfied there will be a gain in milk und
butter, because the cows cannot harass
each other, and everything that helps to
make a quiet and gentle hertl increases
tho yield of milk at.d butter.
“I allow no tlogs about my cows, and
they ate never struck n blow in the
stable harder than a little tap with the
hare hand to make them stand over. Ii
that is riot enough I turn my back to
ward them, and with tho hips give them
a shove ovor. I used to think a stable
could not be imttiugcd without more or
less kicks, milkstool whacks, club and
profanity. A year and ahdf of ‘total
abstinnuee,’ and a stable us quiet us a
parlor, have convinced mo that, while
Kindness will not ‘cure all,’ we have not
one-tenth part of the trouble we did
have, while we have more milk and but
ter. Let any one who doubt, cut off the
horns to begin with, aud then ‘reform
themselves’ and try the new plnn awhile,
and I believe they will neser allow horns
or blows in their barns agam."
Farm and Garden Notes.
Dou't milk at six o’clock to-day, seven
to morrow, and half-past seven the day
after.
Improper feeding is tlio cause of niuc
out of ten cases of sickness among your
horses.
Vse every precaution to avoid fire.
Have a convenient peg for each lantern
in use in the barn, and never place a
light where it may accidentally set tire.
Be careful in leaving hot ashes around.
Hogg are plagued-with two kinds ol
“cholera,” one uffecting the bowels nnd
the other the lungs. tnc is really tho
hog cholera, the other is the swine

diseases at one time. .
Asa rule, the farmer who carries tho
most grass on his farm produces the
most stock. And those countries which
produce the most stock per acre of land
cultivated arc generally the richest in
agricultural resources.
A curious estimate is made of corn,
viz: Enough corn is usually grown each
year in Ihis country to allow each in
habitant one bushel a week—more than
enough to supply all the food required
for fifty thousand people, but the larger
portion of corn is used by live stock,
and thus converted into meat.
Soot is a very valuable fertilizer, but
it is much better to apply to moist, cool
land than to that winch is dry and warm.
It absorbs heat, and appropriates mois
ture from the soil. A small quantity of
soot placed in hills of melons, squashes
and pumpkins will cause them to grow
rapidly. It also kills many insects.
An experienced poultry raiser advises
people to reduce the stock of fowls as
soon as the year's hatch is well provided
for,but to hold on to old turkeys and old
geese,as they get used to the ways of the
farm and are worth much more as breed
ers thau young ones. Ducks are also
good uutil three years. A turkey is in
her prime at five, ami a goose at twenty
years of age.
A lady who claims to liax’e had twenty
years' success offers this recipe in the
Ohio runner, for keeping eggs: Take
good fresh eggs and rub them over with
melted lard; thus closing the pores in
the shell. Then put a layer of oats or
bran in a box and a layer of eggs, setting
them on the small end and not allowing
them to touch each other, separating
them by oats or brae, in til's way fill
the box and the eggs will keep fresh.

flan Death of Mrs Bring* at Donver
Recalls tha Day* of Mormon Tnr
fTroas the Danvar Neat.]
ha Snath of Mr*. Brigga, which oo
•aired on Wednesday, in not in itself a
matter of much publio comment, but it
bring* ono more to light Ur* atory of a
miraculous escape of n oouple from the
notorious Brigham Young and his Ter
ritory in the days when capture meant
certain death at the hands of the ever
wntehful and muoh-drreded Danitos,
who were then in the full zenith of their
power. Then it was that murder was
no crime in the eyes of the zealous apos
tles of Mormondom, nnd it needed but a
significant nod from some chosen leader
to send s soul from the narrow oonfines
of earth. There waa no retaliatory ven
geanoe, and the story of the escape of
Mr. nnd Mrs. Briggs becomes more ro
man tio when the facta in regard to the
affair become fully known.
It was just twenty-nine years ago
when the couple made their first appear
ance in Denver. They came in the usual
way in those days—by teams—and their
stony at first was hardly credited. Years
before, imbued with the Mormon prin
ciples, they had gone to Utah and be
came willing subjects of Brigham Young,
who was at that time in the height of
his power. Mr. Briggs became a chosen
disciple and an elder of the Mormon
Church, and bid fair to become a fixture
in the Territory. But he remained true
to his first wife, and never would con
sent to avail himself of the Mormon
privilege by increasing the number of
bis “better-halfs.”
Where the trouble between Briggs
and the Church arose is not exactly
known, although some nay that his dis
inclination to be a much-married man
aroused the suspicions of his brother eld
ers, who seemed to think he waa not
doing quite the right thing in not prac
tising what be preached. Another story
has it that tho amorous Brigham Young
was slightly inclined to fall in love with
Mrs. Briggs, and as it was a well-known
fnot that anything the “old man” wanted
he was sure to have sooner or later,
Briggs concluded to shake Utah aud the
Mormons and thus save his wife from
becoming famous and probably having
her hair pulled by the score or more of
other Mrs. Youngs.
Both stories are probable, but which
is the strict truth is not known. Suffice
it that the Briggses arrived in Denver in
the fall of 1858, and Briggs was nick
named “Gov.” Briggs, after the Gov
ernor of Massachusetts. It was not
long afterwards tliat “Gov.” Briggs
passed to the home of his fathers and
left the wife ho had snatched from Mor
mon hands a widow.
Mrs. Briggs went into mourning for
the good old man and was much bereav
ed at his demise, especially after the
troubles they had gone through in tho
wild woolly West together. Five years
ago, however, she brightened up, looked
young again, and astonished her friends
Dy remarrying, at the ripe old-age of
ninety years, a miner by the name of O.
E. Collyer, who was considerably young
er than she was.
New Phase of Drunkenness.
The Jamaica ginger drunkard is anew
form of intoxication. In the sparsely
settled regions of the South liquor is sold,
if at all, in the “general stores,” and
these will not take the risk of losing their
gty by selling liquors surrep
titiously when public sentiment has de
clared in favor of prohibition. But they
can sell Jamaica ginger, an 1 the. thirsty
toper can become fairly drunk on a half
pint bottle of this mixture of alcohol aud
essence of ginger. In view of the use of
Jamaica ginger ns an intoxicating bev
erage, the town officers of Dawsonville,
Ga., have passed an ordinance prohibit
ing the sale of that tipple within the
town limits.
The Professor’s Idea.
Prof. E. Stone Wiggins, the earthquake
prophet, has been heard from again. Ho
says that a great earthquake period in
North America will begin in 1904—0n
August 10, to be exact. Meanwhile he
will not bother with small shakes, like
those which have taken place recently,
which arc merely “the negative or reflex
action of an earthquake, the position be
ing located south of Cape Horn.”
