MEXICAN INDIANS. They Are Not Like Poor Lot of More Northerly Climes. To one who has lived long enough In Mexico to become acquainted with the working classes and acquire some insight into their natures and some degree of confidence In and from them it seems unfair wber. writing or talk ing of them to Americans to refer to them as Indians, as they are common ly called here. To the average citi zen of the United States the word Indian at once brings to mind the picture of the sullen and revengeful red man of the North. The simple minded, patignt, docile Indian cf Mex ico is not in this class at all. He is . peaceful. DouuUlifl nature and perpetual summer combine to pal liate his improvidence. He cannot see the necessity of laying up any thing for a rainy day. It rains half the days in Mexico anyhow, but that only makes the mangoes grow larger and cheaper. If he has no tortillas today, some of his neighbors have, and they will gladly share, for conditions may be reversed tomorrow. These Mexican Indians make the best and the poorest servants in the world. The greatest charm from this standpoint is their perfect apprecia tion of their position. Always polite, never presuming, with hat in hand, it is always “your servant" and " wl *£ your permission." and never a word of complaint when working hours last from day light to midnight. So different are these people from-the Northern Indian that it seems an injustice, as has been said, to call them by that name to those who know only the Indian of the cold country. The Mexican In dian does not want to fight. All he asks Is to be let alone. His polite ness and affectionate nature are in born. His love for children is par ticularly marked. It is a common sight to see a laborer in the street with but two pieces of white cotton clothing to his back or his name stop a woman with a baby in her arms, and holding the child's fae<? between both his hands deliver a resounding smack and chuck it under the chin. And in the same unconscious and en tirely unaffected manner will a young man take his sombrero from his head ■and reverently kiss the hand of some ancient relative in a tattered dress when he encounters her in the crowd ed thoroughfare.—Modern Mexico. Asthma. Those who h«ve seen the struggles the trouble is, yet it is very largely an affection of the nerves. In many cases the patient wants to exhale, and cannot finish before there is a spas modic attempt to inhale. The effort to breathe out and breathe in meet in the middle, as it were, with the result that the patient can do neither, and simply struggles and gasps. A doc tor conceived the idea of putting his hands, one on the back and the other on the front of the chest, and squeez ing the air out to help the inspira tion. When the lungs were defla 1 '”*' inhal.it>"’’ —■; • ’"* sev eral maiioeuvers of this sort the patient expressed relief from the straining and struggling—American Cultivator. Russian Children’s New Games. The Influence of the patriotic stand which the school children of German Poland have made against their op pressors has spread into Russian Po land. In Warsaw the youngsters are i.’ujLxp, a npw L , ani( , called "Demon strators,” in which they divij? them selves into two camps—" Cossacks” and "Patriots” or "Demonstrators.” The latter form procession and ad vance singing Polish melodies; where upon they are immediately charged by the "Cossacks,” and after a scuffle are driven off, leaving their “dead” and “wounded” on the ground. In St. Petersburg the school children have started a game of “Bomb-throwers."—. London Chronicle. A FRIENDLY GROCER Dropped a \ aluable Hint about Coffee. For about years, writes a Mich, woman, “I suffered ousness—part of the time down in bed with nervous prostration. ‘‘Sometimes I would get numb and it would be almost impossfble for me to speak for a spell. At others, I would have severe bilious attacks, and my heart would flutter painfully when I would walk fast or sweep. "I have taken enough medicine to start a small drug store, without any benefit. One evening our rgs "- and w coffee and use Pos tum, so he brought home a pkg. and I made it according to directions and we were both delighted with it. “So we quit coffee altogether and used only Postum. I began to get better in a month's time and look like another person, the color came back to my cheeks, I began to sleep well, my appetite was good and I com menced to take on flesh and become interested in everything about the bouse. “Finally 1 was able to’ itu .» own work without the least sign of my old trouble. lam so thapkful for the little book, 'The Road to Well vllle.’ It has done me so much good.
