If the people do not want to bother, declares N. 0. Winter In "Guatemala and tier People of Today," that will be tbelr Invaria ble answer. You might go up to a bouse where the yard was full of chickens, tbe wo man engaged In making tortilla aDd fruit trees loaded with fruit In tbe yard and yet bare a conversation bout like the following: "Have you any meat?" "No hay" (pronounced eye). Tlave you any eggs?" "No bay." "Have you a house?" "No bay." Id such a case tbe best way to do Is to enter tbe bouse and bunt round for I yourself and blandly order tbe woman to prepare whatever you chance to And. Then. UT you leave a small sum of money wltb ber on departing, she will not take any offense, but will po litely I bank you. Time is the only thing wltb which they seem to be well supplied.

It mignt be thought that sucb ao ex citing thing as a tire would startle the Mexicans out of tbelr habitual Indo lence, but sucb Is not tbe case. Tbe alarm of a fire at Matamoras, Coa bulla, Mexico, was given by tbe discbarge of numerous pistols aDd guns, says a writer Id tbe Wide World Magazine, and 1 hastened to tbe scene, thinking nt first that a battle was raging. After a long toterval, during whlcb tbe people watched tbe Ore wltb in terest, chattering among themselves meanwhile, there appeared placidly trundling along tbe road tbe Matamo rasan equivalent of a fire engine, a barrell rolling along tbe ground, drawn by a reluctant burro. A swivel pin Id each end of tbe keg permitted It to roll freely, and ropes attached It to tbe animal. Behind walked tbe fire brigade, a solitary peon, bearing a bucket. Arrived at the scene of tbe conflagration, tbe water In the barrel was poured Into buckets and hauled to tbe roof of an adjacent bouse, whence it was flung on to tbe flames. Everybody was greatly excited. The calmest thing of all was tbe Are. which burned steadily on till there was noth ing left to consume. Then as tbe spec tacle was over the people dispersed. Every one was satisfied except per haps tbe unfortunate owner of tbe house that bud been destroyed. Insect Sits on Its Eggs. Family matters in tbe case cf Insects usually mean ODly the depositing of eggs In suitable situations for the in dependent development of the off spring, tbe parent Insects often dying before the young appear. Tbe earwig, however, provides a remarkable excep tion to tbe general rule, for It sits upon Its fifty or more eggs until they are hatched, just as a bird would do, and, moreover. If tbe eggs get scattered it carefully collects tbeni together again. Id tbe early mouths of tbe year, when digging tbe soli, female earwigs may frequently be found together with their batch of eggs. At the slightest sign of danger tbe young ones huddle close to tbelr mother, biding beneath ber body so far as It will cover so large a family. Strand Magazine.
