AMPHIBIOUS LIFE . WHICH SOME
INDIANS OF MEXICO LEAD.
Peculiar Formation of the Mexican
Lakes—Nature's Floating Gardens.
Fishing For Frogs, Polywogs and Flies
to Earn a Scanty Livelihood.
Looking towards the lakes one day I caught
sight of the spires of a small town on the
margin of the water. Inquiring of a Mexi-
can friend, he said: “That is Chaleo, lying at
the head of lake navigation, once a very
notable place. The town is now dead, or
dying, killed by the railroads. Once it was
the point of shipment of the products of th®
tierra caliente, and great quantities of rum,
sugar, grain and tropical fruits were trans-
ported thence to Mexico, twenty-five miles
distant, in flat-bottomed boats, propelled by
the Indians with long poles. There are some
reminders of the traffic yet, but a foreigner
would probably find more interest in the
Indians, who live in a kind of house made of
reeds, and almost floating on the water.” My
friend could not have suggested an excursion
more apropos to the mood of a person deeply
interested, in the indigenous races and their
customs. In two hours’ time I had descended
from my crow’s nest on the hill to the lake
and was negotiating with the head man of
the town for a canoe and a couple of stout
Indians to take me to the pueblo of the Lake
Dwellers.
And here a first surprise awaited me. The
lake which I had seen glistening in the sun
from the elevated post of observation no-
where appeared when I arrived at its margin.
In its place was a vast expanse, extending for
miles, of reeds, swaying and drifting before
the breeze. Herds of cattle waded and wal-
lowed in this sea of green, feeding on the
nutritious aquatic plants and grasses, and
their fine condition and sleek hides showed
that this amphibious life was not uncongenial
to them.
A narrow waterway leads from the town,
disappearing slowly among the reeds, and
upon this we embarked in the Indian’s light
chalupe. As we passed along this canal
noticed that the water was clear and pur
but the bottom composed of a spongy bed <
vegetable matter. In some places the Indiai.
had to get out and pull the canoe past the
long barges, laden with wood, on their way
to Mexico, and which entirely monopolized
the narrow channel. Their weight would
submerge what appeared to be, a moment be-
fore, firm ground. When the loaded barges
stuck fast their swarthy conductors had the
habit of getting out and springing up and
down on this vegetable mass, at the point <
adhesion, securing thus two or three feet o.
water where none had been before.
At times there would come to my ears
strange and mournful sounds from the en-
circling reed meadows.
“Boatman! What sounds are those like the
moaning of persons in distress?”
“Nothing, senor! Only the chatting of
fishermen and the laughter of children.”
Their statement turned out to be correct.
At intervals we caught glimpses through the
tall reeds of intricate passageways, just large
enough for the entry of a very small canoe.
In these canoes were women and children en-
gaged in fishing and the other industries pe-
culiar to the lake. It was their conversation
and laughter, filtered through the forest of
reeds, that produced the mournful sounds
before alluded to.
“But what kind of fish do they catch?” we
next, asked.
“Mainly frogs* polywogs, worms and in-
sects, senor!” was his surprising reply.
It was difficult to believe my ears, but sub-
sequent investigation proved this to be the
main industry of the Lake Dwellers, apart
from their peculiar agriculture, of which I
shall speak later on. There are three species
of frogs inhabiting the lake. They are pre-
pared for the table, with suitable condiments;
and are sold extensively even among the well-
to-do classes, being especially popular during
Lent as a substitute for animal food. The
spawn of the frog, and the little animals so
ridiculous and repugnant to civilized taste,
popularly called pollywogs, are only used
among the poor, and are served on leaves of
maize.
But the insect industry surpasses by far
the frog catching business. There is a sort
of water fly, called by the Indians axayacatl,
which frequents the lakes in prodigious
numbers, and which is peddled to-day through
the streets of Mexico with the shrill street
cry, “Flies for bird food.” As the number
of birds kept in private houses is very large,
a single family often possessing twenty or
thirty, the fly trade is correspondingly brisk.
The insect is about the size of a grain of rice,
has six legs, swims on the water with great
force and rapidity, and though it has wings
has never been known to use them. When
caught they are either dried or kneaded into
a paste, cooked in water with salt, and eaten
with much relish by the natives. The eggs
and larvae of this interesting creature have
equal value. The Indians plant the stems of
reeds in the shallow parts of the lake, about a
yard apart, so that the upper end shall pro-
ject above the surface. The female of the
axayacatl deposits her eggs upon these several
layers deep, so that they not only cover the
reed stalk, but also hang in bunches from it.
At regular intervals they are collected, dried
on mats, and these form the marketable pro-
ducts called ahuantle. This, ground and fried
in lard w,ih hen’s eggs, makes a dish very
much like fish eggs, and is much used when
the prece/te of religion prohibit flesh eating.
When the larvae are hatched and appear as
little white worms they are caught in great
quantities and cooked entire or ground into a
paste. This delicate dish is called puxi, and
is considered very nourishing.
As we neared the little Indian village of
Ylco, which was to be our point of destina-
tion, the boatmen became communicative,
complaining bitterly of a kind of floating
mass of reeds and grass, called vondoleros.
These floating banks have a thickness rang-
ing from half a yard to a yard and a half,
and are composed of the woven roots of
plants, living and dead, the remains of the
creatures that inhabit them, the mud of the
lake bottom, and dust brought by the wind.
Solidly knit together and of less density than
the water, they shift from point to point with
the winds and currents. It is difficult to ac-
count for their formation; but nature works
with such skill in their construction, and
gives them such solidity' that, in times of
drought, the natives transport their cattle to
them for pasture, and the banks sustain the
weight, only yielding and sinking under foot
a little—as would be natural.—Mexico Cor.
Cleveland Leader.
Doctors Do Not Like to Dun.
Oh, we get patients enough; the trouble is
they don’t pay. You newspaper men may
crack jokes over tailors’ bills in your funny
columns; I tell you the physioian was an
abused creditor before men began wearing
clothes. The trouble is that a physician can’t
ask a patient for a fee immediately after the
consultation. A doctor don’t like to be a dim.
Tt’s different in England,'where the patient in
going out deposits his guinea neatly wrapped
up in paper in some convenient spot w'here
the physician can find it later. That saves
both the feelings and the cash of the doctor,
while here both are apt to suffer.—New York
Tribune Interview.
A TEMPERANCE BARROOM.
On.® pjE. Boston’s institutions WIuAfc Is
Well Patronized.
A temperance barroom in Boston that is ft
great success in every way is on Washington
street, and advertises in big letters, “Temper-
ance Drinks.” The man who started this es-
tablishment thi’ee years ago says he lost sev-
eral thousand dollars the first six months of
his experiment. But he is willing and able to
wait. He lets his saloon advertise itself by
its refreshing drinks and attractive furnish-
ing. . Behind the marble counter stand six
young men in white coats and caps. Each
man weal’s a flower in his buttonhole and a
pleasant look on his face of being in a busi-
ness which maketh not ashamed. Over the
counter is a long list of the beverages on
sale. Besides ice-cold soda in all its agreeable
compounds, there are lac tarts, egg^ phos-
phates, acid phosphates, Moxie’s nerve food,
hot beef tea, chicken tea and other refreshing
and invigorating fluids—all of the kind that
cheers without inebriating. In the rear of
the saloon there is a lunch counter, where the
very best chicken and ham sandwiches, pies,
rolls and delicious coffee may be had at mod-
erate rates.
On any day at lunch tune the room will be
found crowded, men waiting their turn to
take their lunch. The custom at this counter
is only limited by the room. Meantime at
the drinking counter there is no intermission
in the stream of customers. During the hour
spent there talking with the proprietor there
were more applicants than could be
immediately attended to by the large
and active force of attendants. The'
proprietor said that they had con-
sumed 100 dozen eggs in one day during
the hot season for egg phosphates alone.
That means that 1,200 people took a glass ol
this one fascinating drink on that day. What
the sales of the other drinks werc^ he did not
say; but he does say that the profits of the
trade are, in his opinion, larger as well as
cleaner, than are made in the barrooms of
the old land.
Only the very nicest material is used in the
preparation of his refreshments. The eggs
are furnished by one collector who is.paid
nearly double the market price to warrant
their freshness. So particular is the proprie
tor that he gave up the use of grape milk, a
profitable and popular unfermented drink,
b cause be found it td contain 1% per wait, ol
alcohol. There is no fuss or philanthropy
\bout this bar room; no pretense that it i.
carried on for any other purpose than to male
money. And the interesting and encouraging
f jnture about it is just here—it really pays
better than a liquor saloon of its size would
pay. What the gains are to the people who
accept it in place of the old tap nobody can
tell. But the proprietor would be less than
human if those gains did not add something
to the satisfaction which he gets from the
others. Only he does not wish his business
advertised for what it is not. It is business
strictly with him, not charity, mercy or
reformation. He entered upon it as a specu-
lation, and he finds it a paying one.—Atlanta
Constitution.
A Rich Man’s Industrious Son.
A little further down the road toward Bos-
ton one comes across the town of Tilton,
which used to he called Sanborton Bridge
until the Tilton family took pity on it. They
have not only bestowed their own name upon
it, but have endowed it with a town hall, a
railroad station, a fountain with a marble
nymph capering on top of it, a little park, a
bronze figure of a deer, a race course and a
gravestone that cost $30,000. The reigning
Tilton, who is a man about 60 years old, is
supposed to be worth in the neighborhood of
$6,000,000, and his only son is an engineer
who daily plies up and down the Northern;
railroad. When this son came of age his
father said to him: .
“Go and earn your living, young man.” j
“But how shall I earn it, father?”
“I don’t care, so long as you earn it honest
ly. Good-by.”
The young man went away, and managed
after awhile to get work firing an engine on
the Northern road. In the course of seven
or eight years he developed sufficient capacity
to trust him with the engine of a gravel train.
He sticks to his business faithfully, and saves
most of his wages. Whenever his father of-
fers him money, which is understood to have
occurred several times, he takes it without
hesitation and puts it all iu the bank. His
capacity for getting up in the world is not
regarded as great, but his genius for saving
his spare coppers is unquestioned. The share
of the Tiltonian wealth that falls to him is
not likely to be dissipated.—Boston Record.
Typewriters in tlie Big Hotels. I
I tell you people nowadays are slow to take
hold of any new enterprise. About a year
ago I started branch offices of my shorthand
and typewriting business in the principal
hotels in this city. I engaged the most ex-
pert lady stenographers and typewriters I
could find, but at first the guests did not seem
to “catch on” as to what it was. Some
thought it belonged to the hotel office for the
manager’s private coirespondence; otheis
thought it was a new way of sending tele-
graph messages, while some people actually
bought it was a fortune-telling machine, ant
game of the questions put tomystenographeis
were very amusing. However after a month
or two, the hotel guests seemed to find out
what the young lady w as there for, and now
I am doing a large business. Why, often I
have to put two and sometimes three opera-
tors in each hotel, ana it is no uncommon
thing for the hotel managers to receive tele-
grams from xoartics traveling towards this
;ity engaging stenographers to be there l’eady
to do their correspondence directly they
arrive.—Cor. Globe-Democrat.
How Mrs. Cleveland Sliakes Hands. :
An old stager whe has shaken hands with
many a lady of the White House tells me he
likes the way Mrs, Cleveland shakes hands
better than any president’s lady of the past.
Said he: “Mrs. Cleveland shakes hands as
though she meant it. She looks you in. the.
eye and tries to catch your good-will before
she puts out her hand. She grasps it firmly
and gives it a perceptible shake. She uses
the whole arm and does not shake only from
the wrist or the elbow. Mrs. McElroy was
Coo stiff and stick-like, Miss Cleveland turned*
her face away from you when she shook
hands with you, and she did not appear to be at-
home. Mrs. Cleveland feels that she is doing
the honors of the White House and that she ha
a right to. She acts as a lady would act who
was presiding over her own home, and she is
apparently as cordial in her gestures.”—Wash-
ington Cor. Cleveland Leader.
ROW IN THE EAGLES’ CAGE.
A. KeJTorm in Sciiool Commencements.
It is gratifying to note that the good fash
ion of making the commencement of girLs’
Catholic schools as private as possible finds
many followers this year. It is very easy for
a school commencement to become merely an
opportunity for the gratification of the vanity
of young people and foolish parents. A pub-
lic exhibition of fine gowns, graceful courte-
sies, and musical proficiency can do no good
to any school in the minds of people who are
the most constant and reliable patrons of
schools. An American boy seems to be de-
prived of his birthright if he does not get a
chance to “orate” on commencement day over
the heads of a hot and sleepy throng; but the
American girl ought not to be encouraged to
indulge in public “spreadeagleism.”—N. Y.
Freeman’s Journal.
The Condor Is the Boss—VUlttu-os Next j
as Fighters—Water Cure.
A crowd was gathered around fho cage in
which the eagles are confined in Centred park,
the other day, watching a few daring English
sparrows that were picking up the leavings of
the eagles’ dinner. The eagles sat majestic
and silent upon the limbs of the make-believe
trees, as though lost in deep reveries.' Sud-
denly a vulture darted like a flash of lightning
from one of the upper perches and swooped
down upon one of our own bald heads with
fiendish screams. The bald head answered
with screams of terror and hastily retreated
into a dark corner of the cage. The women
and children drew back from the cage in fear,
and even the men exhibited a desire to be be-
yond the reach of Sir Vulture’s sharp talons.
The vulture stood silent on the bottom of
tho cage for a moment, while the other eagles
moved uneasily on their perches. Then the
condor, who had been sitting on the highest
branch of all, gave vent to a shriek almost as
deafening as the whistle of a locomotive, and
dropped down upon tho vulture. In a moment
feathers flow in every direction. All the eagles
screamed in unison, and the littlo birds in tho
other cages crouched mute and trembling in
the corners.
A gray-coated park policeman who came
rushing to the cage shouted to a keeper, and
in a moment tho man who has charge of the
eagles came running up. Ho seized a pail of
water from behind tho cage, and, getting as
close as possible to the -fighting birds, he
doused them with it. The effect was instan-
taneous. Tho fight was all gone out of them,
and they crawled away to different corners,
dripping and dejected. The condor had had
much the best of the fight. He was bleeding
in only a few places, whilo his opponent was
covered with tlie~sanguinary fluid.
“The eagles fight very harvt sometimes,”
said the keeper to the reporter. “Water is
the only thing that will stop them, and even
that doesn’t always work. If they are very
hot we separate them with poles, and then
yank thefh. into a tank of water, where we
duck them until all the fight is gone out of
them.
“The condor is the boss of the roost, and
none of the otheis caro to dispute his suprem-
acy. The vultures come next as fighters, and
the bald head is at the tail end of the list. The
vultures can’t stand the cold weather though.
In winter we have to take them inside* while
the other eagles rather enjoy the cold.
“When wo want to have some fun with the
eagles we throw live rats at them. Orel/
narily they are fed with raw meat, but liv<
rats are delicacies to them. You never know
how terrible their talons aro until you see
them tear a rat to pieces. They pounce upon
rats like cats, and in a jiffy they have them
torn into shreds. The rats go into the other
bird cages of their oivn accord and steal the
eggs, but they give she eagles’ cage a wide
berth.” >
“Do the eagles b urt one another in their
fights?” inquired the reporter.
“Oh, yes. If they were not separated they
would fight until one or the other was
lolled.”—N. Y. Sun.
David Davis and the Sliarper.
By one of Judge Davis’ friends I am told a
story which has not appeared in print yet,
I believe. It is, I think, characteristic of
him, and shows that he was not entirely de-
ficient in humor. A confidence man, no
doubt thinking that the bulky form of the
justice would make him an easy prey- to his
wiles, stepped up to him in the Metropolitan
bank one day while Mr. Davis was deposit-
ing a large amount of money in bills. It was
an attempt at tho old trick of dropping a bill,
drawing the victim’s attention to it in the
hope of diverting his watchfulness from the
bigger pile of notes about to be deposited by
him, and make away with them at the op-
portune moment.
The scamp dropped his $5 note on the floor,
nudged the justice in the side with his elbow,
and whispered: “You’ve dropped something.”
“All right,” quietly remarked Mr. Davis, who
knew a thing or two about the gentry to
which his officious friend belonged; “I’ll take
care of it.” With that he planted his pon-
derous foot and whole weight upon the note,
while he handed in his deposit. This done, he
leisurely asked the confidence man to pick
up the note for him. The latter could not but
grant the request. It was with a twinkle of
his eye that it disappeared in Judge Davis’
pocket to find its way on the following day
into the treasury of some charitable institu-
tion. Washington Letter.

England’s New Enfield Martini Rifle.
The new Enfield Martini is to be 0.40
calibre*as against 0.45, the size of the present
Martini. No change is to be made in the
length of the barrel, but the weapon with the
bayonet fixed will weigh 10 pounds 4 ounces,
as against 10 pounds. The breech action re-
mains unaltered, but there is an addition in
the shape of a safety bolt to prevent the
trigger falling. There are also one or two
minor alterations. In appearance, however,
the rifle is much altered, for the thick end of
the barrel, or nearly 18 inches, is incased with
wood, so as to enable the soldier to retain his
grip when the rifle becomes heated in action.
The fore end of the stock has been thinned
away and grooved from underneath the rifle,
to prevent rain from lodging between the
barrel and the stock. To give a little less
straightness to the butt the breech block is
also attached at a more acute angle than
formerly. Tho bayonet, in place of being at-
tached to the side, is now to be placed under
the barrel to assist in keeping it down during
the act of firing. At last we are to have a
solid drawn metallic cartridge case. It will
c vntain 85 grains of powder and a bullet
weighing 384 grains. Furthermore these
cartridges, for the first time in the service,
are to be of uniform shape and size, so that
they can be used for rifle, carbine, or machine
gun. _
They Perisli in Alcohol’s Presence.
Some time ago a convention of micros,cqpjists
was held at Cleveland, O. A learned professor
said that while examining under a powerful
microscope a human tooth iu a healthy man’s
mouth ho found it covered with countless
bacteria. On applying the microscope to the
teeth of another man he found them perfectly
free from bacteria. Investigation showed
that the last man had just been drinking
whisky. There is much food for reflection in
this striking occurrence.—N. Y. World.

as third-class matter instead of being in the
fourth class and rated as merchandise, as has
heretofore been the case. Under this ruling
photographs can now be sent through the maili
