A VERITABLE SAINT’S REST. . ....... .......... ... Hex..,. Free ....... •-..el-. .. ...... ...... Thieves. -If u person wish™ to see an itleui saints' rest," said I,. A. Downing, to a.

They are said to have been among Hie bravest oppoiteiiitt of Cortex.. They are clean, honest ,-md induMrimis. No doors are Inelod in Xilitla. Coffee planters go uway and leave gems and all manner of personal property in their houses, but nothing. “When I ill the Huastccos industri ous the Iluasteean standard of industry mils I be borne in mind. Four days there make a week of labor. The Indian does Hint four days’ work for one dollar. If he were paid two or four dollars he would work only four days, and arch aeologists suppose ihis custom to have eo-me from the habits of the ancient people. The dollar is paid in advance— on Sunday. Payment insures the daliv ery of the four days’work before Satur day night. If the work is not done the Imlian is a defaulter in the light of local lavvs, and is thrown into jail. On Sun day Xilitla li;r : a population of 5,000, but on Monday not 200 Indians are ioumf Iu town. The others are out on the plantation. Their day commences with daylight and is kept up ns long as tiny can see. in thal latitude there are about Hi hours of daylight, so that the le borers put in about <U hours of labor as against 51 hours enstoinary in the j United States.” ; LOVE MAKES AN ARTIST. | The Wonderful Aeeonipllnhiiient* of a liiiiel-siullh. The great uriist, Matsys, was once a blaeksmrth at Antwerp, but dared to l ive the lieaiitiful daughter of a painter who was inexorable. “Wert thou a painter,” snidjie, "she should be thine; bat a blacksmith— (never!" Tlie hainnier dropped from the young blacksmith's hand; lie mused and dreamed and a ihousand glorious con ceptions passed like shadows across his brain. “I will be a painter,” he said, but his soul was east down aud he trembled at his own ignorance. Ills first efforts re assured him; he drew, and the lines portrayed the loved and lovely face on graved oil Ids heart. “1 will point her,” he cried, "love will inspire me!" He gazed upon her until histsoul be came drunk with her beauty; i,n his wild enthusiasm and inspiration his colors fell rapidly on the canvas until they formed a wonderful picture of the beautiful girl. Showing his work to the astonished futher, he said; "There, 1 claim the prize, for 1 am a painter!” He exchanged the portrait for the original, ..-uutiiim'd to love and to paint, became distinguished among the sons of art in his day, and, dying, u asUufieri the cathedral of iiis native city. ; in A Tynoaru uhictil Mix.

The reoaon for thin state of at fairs is that the bills are being shipped to the cast in mail socks. The cashier of a Minneapolis bank gave the follow ing explanation: "The reason why we refuse to pay out currency (s that we sre sending remit tanees east through the mails, instead of by express, as in the past, and, of course, owing to the expense, we send rtolhlng but paper money. Jusfatpres rnt the balance of trade Is against us and the money is flowing out. This causes the scarcity of currency, nrwi it is a fact that Minneapolis and St. Paul are practically drained of nil bills of large denominations. Tn former days we were accustomed to ship money by express, and when we did that bullion wns sent, “Some time ago the companies raised the charges somewhat, and the banks refused to accede to the increased rate.

At Prince street a little old man got on and made his way to about the mid die of the car. He lost something of his mildness of expression when lie was thrown suddenly and forcibly against a young woman, knocking off her hat, but he said nothing. Next a big man made a parabolic swing, landed, and nearly knocked him through the win (low. Then the face of the little man grew very red. He pushed his way to the front door and shaking his linger in the motorman’s surly visage threatened to throw him off the car and run the thing himself The motorman back, but the excited little passenger talked fast and dared him to do it again.

Dwyttnl I,otil>ylHt'a Wife Worsted In « Short But Shnrn Tilt. At u recent Washington reception there was a short but sharp inter change of courtesies between the wealthy wife of an ex-congressman and the wife of a far from rich bureau chief. it was u crowded afternoon affair, and; the ex-congressman's w ife was assists lug the hostess in receiving guesits. When the wife of the bureau official was presented, the hostess said to the woman of the receiving party: “You know Mrs. Blank, don’t you?” “Cer tainly,” said the ex-congressman's wife, “I would know her anywhere by that pink dress.” The cheeks of the bureau official’s wife was suffused with a rosy glow, but she turned on her tor mentor and said; "Probably if my hus oand hud been mixed up in as many questionable transactions ns yours, madam, it would not lie necessary for me to wear my pink reception dress so often as to cause comment.” Every word rang out clear ami sharp n P on the earB of ,ho astonished guests. Tnasmueh ns there had been frequent erlticism of the ex-eongressman-for his connection with questionable lobby transactions, the force of the bureau official’s wife's retort can readily be imagined, An intricate Qfiction.
