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.

EDWARDS, Proprietor. gep20dfiin in 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.” —[New York Mail and Express. No Disputing About Tastes. Iu Mexico parrots tire eaten, but they aro rather tough. Spiders roasted are a sort of des sort with the Caledonians. In the Pacific Islands and West Indies lizard eggs are eater, with gusto. Buckland declares the taste of the boa constrictor to be good and much like veal. The octopus, or devil fish, when boiled then roasted is eateD in Corsi ca and esteemed a luxury. The French will cat frogs, snails and the diseased liver of geese, bnt draw the line at alligator is. After they have wound the silk from the cocoon the Chinese eat the chrysalis of the silk worm.

Cater pillars and spiders arc dainties to the African bi,simian. The edible bird’s nests of the Chi uesffiaro worth twice their weight in silver, the finest variety selling for as much as $30 a pouud. The Negroes of the West Indies eat baked snakes and ite pairu worms fried in fat, but they can not bo induced to eat stewed rabbits. The Digger Iudians of the Pacific Coast rejoiced in the great locust swarms of 1875 as a dispensation of tbs Gieat Spirit, and laid in a store of dried loenst powder sufficient to last them for several years. The N rth American aborigines recognize r.u gu-atcr delicacy than boiled dog, the at.itual being im mersed in the pot w-itbout the formal ity of skit nir.g or otherwise cleaning, and regard ‘hr intestines as the choicest p .tl ot u LAifiV.o or steer. Ants are eaten by various nations. In Brazil they ate served with a res inous sauce and in Africa they are stewed with gterse or butter.

BRAWNEB. decll-'iiu ABOUT COUOHim 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.
