RIFFIN GEORGIA, SATURDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 4 1888
THE MEXICANS’ BA" 1 GAIT.
An Observing Amerirau Traveler Saji
They Do Not Know How to Walk.
I rise now and here to enter a com*
plaint vigorously, and a source of griev.
ance against the Mexican people. They
do not know how to walk. Whether
men or women, the same thing is true;
the natural grace and innate tact of the
fair sex go no further toward mitigating
the enormity of their perambulatory sins
than the greater experience and stronger
physique of their lords. In the mterior,
in those sections which the press of the
United States would term ‘-the rural dis¬
tricts,” this condition of affairs does not
obtain. There the people, the lower
orders, in particular, have a free, elastic
gait, which tells of strong, dependable
muscles in excellent training, and the
poise of head and body is something good
to see. Even the courier, who runs all
day long at the same steady dog trot
pace, has an easy, unhampered move¬
ment. This is partly due to general good
health, exercise, abundant fresh air and
constant training from youth, almost in¬
fancy; largely, also, to' the custom of
bearing burdens upon the head, to main¬
tain which in equilibrium necessarily in¬
sures a perfect balance.
In the national capital the lower classes
carry their burdens, as a general rule,
upon the head; and, while the weight
depends from the head by means of straps
or stays, its pressure on the shoulders
ticts as leverage against undue strain, and
the constant effort to maintain equilib¬
rium produces a rolling, wabbling gait,
unlovely to behold. Higher up in the
social scale the same results ensue from
dissimilar causes. Walking is avoided as
much as possible, as being not only
fatiguing but also plebeian; moreover,
the old prejudice against women appear¬
ing on the street unaccompanied lias not
entirely disappeared, and many are tlius
hindered by social convention from exer¬
tions from which material considerations
would not deter them. It is no unusual
sight to see women, or men as well, for
that matter, fake the horse cars for a
distance of one or two blocks only. Then
again the question of footgear is an im¬
portant factor, the build of Mexican shoes
not being conducive to case, grace or
rapidity of movement. Women’s shoes
are by no means comma ii faut unless
the have high and tiny heels, set far
underneath the sole, and the shoeing of
both sexes is manufactured with the
narrow pointed toes whose pinching tor¬
tures not a few American toes hold in
unhappy remembrance.
The lower classes are free from this
handicap at least, being, oftener than
not, barefoot. Their feet, from continual
■xposure and want of care, take on the
calloused, grainy appearance of the feet
of birds. In the interior the masses wear
either guaraches, which are rawhide san¬
dals, or teguas, a species of soled,
less moccasin of soft leather, both
which ehaussures protect the feet, with¬
out particularly restraining or
them. Another element of
is the narrow, uncomfortable sidewalks.
Mexican towns* being laid out on the sys¬
tem of the Spaniards, their
are almost invariably narrow in the ex¬
treme, not infrequently giving rise
some local thrust or gag. For instance,
one street in Aguascalientes is known
the Street of the Jealous from its
ment of not more than twenty
wide.—City of Mexico Cor. San
cisco Chronicle.

A WHITE HOUSE KEl’EPTION.
President Cleveland’s Lively Conversa¬
tion with People Who Call on Him.
The rangeof conversation between
the president and those who shake
hands with him at crowded receptions
is limited. I stood near the other
day and listened as they shook hands
and slid on:
First Caller (looking up) — How do
you do, sir?
President (cordially)— How do jcu
do, sir?
Second Caller (looking down)—
Good morning, sir.
President (smiling)—Good morn¬
ing*
And so on to the
Fifth Caller ('shaking- hands and
laughing)—Helped to elect you and
going to do it again. (Exit).
President—Thank you !
Sixth Caller (looking straight out
of the door)—Glad to see you, sir!
Presidenr—How do you do? • ,
And so on to the
Fifteenth Caller (a little boy in
frock, waddling on, seeing only the
chief executive feet, and not noticing
whose they are).
President (reaching for him)—
Here! you littlo fellow. Here!
This way ! Give us a shake !
Lit-ile fellow is shaken and waddles
on, solemnly wondering what it is
all about.
Sixteenth Caller (whispers in exec¬
utive ear.)
President (with surprised end con
gratulatory look)—Ah,indeed! Hope
they are all well.
Response smothered by
Seventeenth Caller—How do you
do, sir?
President--How do you do, sir.
Tide sweeps on till it reaches
Twenty-seventh Caller (in a loud
voice)—Mr. President, I was born
within two miles of your birth place,
and only three years later, up on
Caldwell hill. [Subdued giggle of
crowd.]
President—Ah, indeed! Pd like
first rate to go up there for a day or
two this summer.
Twenty-seventh Caller (resumes)
—Come on. fishing-.
He is engulfed in a tide and the
sentence dies unfinished, while the
president cordially shakes hands with
a party of three with umbrellas, evi
dently from the rural districts.
Thirty-sixth Caller (lady shakes
hands blithely)—That shake is for
Mrs. Cleveland. Give her my love.
Presidet t—Thank you.
Thirty-seventh Caller—Good even
ing, sir.
President (automatically)—Good
morning.
About one in a thousand is known
to the president, but, on the whole, it
is a dreary ceremony to him, and en
te-ed into with a real sensible earn
estness and a sort of contagious gen
iality.—[Philadelphia Press.
“That Miss Jones is a liiceriooking
gill, isn’t she?”
“Yes, and she’d be the belle of the
town if it wasn’t for one thing.”
•‘What’s that ?”
“She has catarrh so bad it is unpleas¬
ant to be near her. She has tried a
dozen things aud nothing helps her. I
am sorry, jor I like her, bnt that doesn’t
make it any less disagreeable for one
to be around her.”
Now rishe had used Dr. Sage’s Cat¬
arrh R-ine .y, there would hrve been
nothing of the kind said, for it will cure
catarrh every time.

Tons of Adulterated Articles Sold Year¬
ly..It is the Public’* Fault.
“Tons oi lozenges and gum drops
are sold, every week, made almost
entirely of starch and glucose,” said
a chemist, recently, to a reporter for
the Mail and Express.
“Why is this?” asked the reporter.
“Because the public choose to pay
for them. If they insisted on getting
pure articles, there would be none
adulterated.”
“Is cerealine used very much?”
“It is. It may be harmless, and it
may be nutritious, but that does not
make it confectionery, and no manu
faeturerhasa right to use it and to
call his goods pure, Using corn
starch in pan work, and corn starch
in lozenges, is a fraud on the public.”

There is Nothing More Irritating to a
Cough than to Cough.
A Baltimore physician who is con
neefod with no institution which con
tains many children says: “There is
nothing more irritating to a cough
than to cough. For some time I had
been eo fully assured of this that I
recently determined, if possible, for
one minute at leas’, to lessen the
number of coughs heard in a certain
ward in the hospital of the insiitu
tion. By the promise < f rewards
and punishments 1 succeeded in in
dticing them simply to hold their
brunt, when tempted to cough, and
a little while I was myself surprised
to see how some of the children re
covered entirely from their disease.”
Bartholdi’s Statue of “Liberty Enlight¬
ening the World”
will be a reminder of personal just liberty
for ages to come. On as sure a
foundation has Dr. Pierce’s “Golden
Medical Discovery” been placed, and it
will staud through the cycles of time as
a monument to the physical its emancipa¬
tion of thousands, who by use have
beeu relieved from consumption, con
snmptive night sweatsf bronchitis,
coughs, spitting of blood, weak Jungs
ane other throat and ItiDg affections.
