A Beggar In a Basket.
Perhaps the most curious use to
which Mexicans put their baskets Is to
hold gamecocks. Sometimes the cock’s
basket la woven for the purpose; of tell¬
er It Is made from a sombrero, the
wide, high crowned, straw hat of the
country, Into which the bird Is put, *
hole cut In the crown to give him air
and the brim carefully tied down that
he may not escape. The bullfight has
been called the national sport of Mex¬
ico, but cockflghting Is much more uni¬
versal, for the humblest peasant may
have his gamecock, which he keeps in
a carefully made cage In his patio,
watches with pride and tends with
care.
line of ,the strangest uses to which a
basket has probably ever been put was
the dally appearance In the streets of
a young man carrying In a huge bush¬
el basket on his shoulders hts great¬
grandmother, of unknown age, who
held out a skinny hand to the passer¬
by for the centavo which was almost
unfailingly given. Surely a trust In
Providence could go no further.—Elea¬
nor Hope Johnson In Outing Maga
slne.
Dreams of the Blind.
In my dreams I have sensatlous,
odors, tastes and Ideas which I do not
remember to have had In reality.
Perhaps they are the glimpses which
my mind catches through the veil of
sleep of my earliest babyhood. I have
heard “the trampling of many waters."
Sometimes a wonderful light visits me
In sleep. Such a flash and glory as It
Is! I gase and gaze until It vanishes
1 smell and taste much as In my wak¬
ing hours, but the sense of touch plays
a less Important part. In sleep I al¬
most never grope. No one guides me.
Even In a crowded street I am self
sufficient, and I enjoy an Independ¬
ence quite foreign to my physical Hfe.
Now I seldom spell on my fingers, and
It is still rarer for others to spell into
my hand. My mind acts independent
of my physical organs. I am delight¬
ed to be thus endowed. If only In
sleep, for then my soul dons its
winged sandals and joyfully joins the
throng of happy beings who dwell be¬
yond the reaches of bodily sense —

The Cheerful Undertaker.
A most amusing thing occurred one
evening upon our arrival at a small
town In New Zealand. We found
awaiting us at the station the local
carriage and pair, with the local un¬
dertaker as footman. He was garbed
in his usual funereal suit of black, but
be had substituted a white tie In or¬
der to relieve the situation somewhat,
and, evidently with a desire to dispel
any morbid impressions he might oth¬
erwise have created, he commenced to
whistle a selection of the most cheer¬
ful tuues be kuew, while he held the
door open for us and helped us into
the carriage.—Clara Butt In Musical
Home Journal.
Cashing Up.
“Have you ever played poker with
your son-in-law?”
“Only once,” answered Mr. Cumrox.
"It wasn’t very satisfactory."
“Did he win?”
“No; he lost. But it merely resulted
In my having to write him a check so
that he could Indorse it over to me.”—
