Mexico's Unlucky Day.
Tuesday is tho unlucky day in Mex
ico. If yon wero born on a Tuesday,
never admit it. You probably have
been n disaster all your life, but peo
ple will firmly believe that you are an
uhfnoky dog nnd have the evil eye into
the bargain if they find that a Tuesday
was honored with your birth. I know
a man who started on a Tuesday with
money to pay off the hands in a facto
ry near tho city nnd went instead to
Acapulco, where ho took the Panama
(•tenn . The board of directors of
the maun factoring company passed a
resolution affirming their undying
faith in his honesty and attributed his
error to having starred to tho mill on
Tuesday. —1lotion J hr aid.
