A young man Nogales, a pueblo on the international was waiting for a local in a subway line between Arizona and the Mexican station the other evening when a Fainting. . If one may judge from the fiction of one's grandparents, the act of faint ing, or becoming unconscious, almost took rank as a social accomplishment. The young ladies, and often even the young gentlemen If they were very fascinating, spent a great part of their time in swoons; and as extreme emo tional sensibility was the keystone of fascination In Byronlc days. It follows that these incessant and alarming syn copes were the direct result of emo tional shocks. Now although It is true that emo Vnnal shocks will cause fainting spells In certain persons, still one cannot re sist the Impression that many of these otherwise excellent young persons were either giving themselves a treat, or at least weakly yielding to an un fortunate social taste. Still It may be conceded that the conditions of those 'days were more In favor of fainting than are our own. . Tho corset of sixty years Ego was a truel and unyielding Instrument of tor ture, exercising Its pressure in such a way as to Interfere with the breath' ing apparatus; athletics for girls were almost unheard of, and few rooms were properly ventilated especially bedrooms all of which causes may have conduced to that condition of cerebral anemia which Is the under lying reason for a fainting fit. Cerebral anemia means an Insuffi cient supply of blood to the brain, and may be brought about In various ways. When a person faints from a sudden shock, caused by an accident or from some unnerving sight or sound, It means that the feeding of the brain with blood has been sharply Interfered with, resulting in a temporary loss of consciousness. A hemorrhage from any part of the body will act mechanically to produce the same result. Persons with weak or disordered hearts often faint readily, because any sudden demand upon the heart may cause It to send out a hurry call for more blood than the system is able to supply. The same thing Is often een when a person convalescing from an acute , illness faints from a slight exertion, sometimes even from a too abrupt change of posture. The blood rushes down to meet the call upon It, and the brain Is left with too little to go on with for the moment. This also applies to sufferers from chronic ane mia and to persons with defective cir culation, whose blood supply Is always Insufficient. For a simple fainting spell but little treatment Is needed. The patient should be placed In a horizontal posl- tlin In order to equalize the circula tion, and should be allowed plenty of " fresh air. A whiff of ammonia cau tiously given acts as a quick stlmu lant. In a case of prolonged faint, " cold water may be sprinkled over the face and chest, or a mustard plaster placed over the region of the heart, Youth's Companion. state of Sonora. A vaudeville enter tainment was being given at the lit tle theater, and about 8 o'clock I strolled over to take In an act or two. It was almost impossible to make my way to the box office through the stranger approacned him and said:. "I have been waiting for half an hour for a friend to go to the theater with me. Apparently she Isn't com ing, and I don't want to go alone." He produced a pair of tickets and con- crowd of peddlers that blocked the j tlnued, " I should be very glad to have street and sidewalks. you take these and use them yourself." 'Pumpkins, carrots, sweet potatoes, j The young man drew out two tickets senor!' they shouted In Spanish, while - of his own. the light from many oil lamps flick ered over their wares. 'Very cheap. Only 10 cents for as much as you can eat.' It was a strange scene, full of col or and racy of the soil. Indeed It Is the sweetmeat vendors that will al ways recur to my mind when I thlnV of my visit to Mexico." MANY CANDIED VEGETABLES. Pompklna, Hoeta, Carrota and Tur nip Among Mexican Sweeta. "I was surprised at the Mexican sweetmeats," said a man -just back from Mexico. "I do not think there can be any fruit or vegetable which they do not candy, preserve In syrup Dr convert Into jam. "In a queer little pueblo In the state of Zacatecas I heard a worn an calling monotonously, 'Clmarronea, calabasas.' Now these words In Eng lish mean sweet potatoes and pump kins. She had a small tray, held in -.place by a leather thong that went around her neck. "I crossed the plaza and asked her for five cents' worth of calabasas. B,he placed several pieces of a sugary yellow substance .In a paper bag and I realized that I was going to have the experience of tasting candled pumpkin. "If you can Imagine pumpkin pie frozen hard and saturated with Bugar you can get an Idea of the flavor of the queer confection. One grows to tike it after one has lived In Mexico for a while. "The clmarrones were also rather nice. The sweet potatoes are boiled In water until they are soft. They are then soaked in hot syrup and can- aied. A final coating of powdered white sugar Is added and gives them the appearance of large Easter eggs. "Beets, carrots, turnips and artl thokes are some of the vegetables made Into sweetmeats In Mexico. Tropical fruits of every description are also used for this purpose, and tandled watermelon peel is a great favorite. The regular stand of the sweet The difficulty of welding the new tool steels to cheaper gra.dc3 has led tc the Invention of a new process, by which the welds are successfully ac complished. It . consists In placing a thin sheet of copper between the sur faces to be welded, which are coated with a reducing substance. At a tem perature of 1,200 centigrade the copper Is rendered completely fluid by the gas or vapor given off by the reducing sub stance, and In this state It penetrates Into the steel ' on both sides of the junction, producing a cohesion of the molecules so strong that It the welded piece Is afterward broken, the fracture tends to pass through the steel on one side or the other, Instead of following the weld. The recognition of the Important part played by certain Insects In the spread of disease has led to the organ ization of the African Entomological Research Committee. Two trained en tomologists are to be dispatched to Africa, one on the east and the other on the west coast, to study the noxious insects, interest residents in the prob lems which they present, and promote scientific knowledge of the best ways of exterminating them. The Natural History Department of the British Mu seum, the London and Liverpool Schools of Tropical Medicine and the leading English universities have of fered to take part in the work. The committee will co-operate with work done by other organizations In Egypt, the Sudan and South Africa. Near Dax, In southwestern France, exists a very remarkable oak which Is an object of veneration for the Inhab itants of the surrounding regions. Its short trunk is encircled with gigantic raised roots, giving It, at the level of the ground, a circumference of 82 feet The massive branches spread over a circle so broad that 500 persons can find room beneath them the tree Is estimated to be not less than 2,000 years, yet It shows few signs of decrepitude, although the in terior of the trunk Is hollow. It Is the first tree In the neighborhood to cover Itself with leaves, and the last to be deprived of them. At the junc tion of the Immense branches are two cavities, which are always full of water, and the peasants ascribe mir aculous properties to this water. Once every year there Is a pilgrimage to the sacred oak of Quillacq, and at mid night between June 23 and 24 the pil grims begin their - devotions around the foot of the tree. Speculation as to the origin of the meteoric stones and irons that occa slonaly fall from the sky has a pecu liar charm for the imagination. The density of these bodies and the great size of some of them constitute argu ments in favor of the view that they must have been . ejected from some massive body In space, such as the sun or a star. In discussing the peculiar mteorltes which fell some years ago at Brenham, Kan., Dr. O. W. Huntington suggests that we may infer, from their composition, from what part of the heavenly body that ejected them, they came. The heavy metalllo meteorites, called slderltes, may plausibly be supposed to have come from the deeper parts of a star; the light, stony ones, called aer olites, from the superficial layers; and the rare "pallasites," like the Bren ham meteorites, which are interme diate In composition, from the transi tional zone between the outer crust and the dense Interior nucleus. "Sorry," he said, "but I've already made arrangements to go." He was conscious of an unreasonable aversion to taking those proffered tickets. But the stranger was Insistent "You're going downtown anyway," he said. "Give them to somebody at the theater. I don't like to see them wasted." A train came In at that mo ment and the young man took them. Outside the theater h lived over the experience of that stranger. He approached tour pairs of men and of fered them the tickets. In each case he was surveyed critically and his gift was refused. "What's the matter with this town anyhow 7" he asked himself, and then ho remembered that he, . too, had thought there must be something wrong with a'voluntary offer of that sort. But he made up his mind not to be outdone by the success that the other man had had with him. He con sulted the doorman and assured him self that the tickets were good for that night Then he went out on the side walk and stopped two newsboys. "Want to go to- the show?' he asked them. "G'wan wld yer klddln'," was the answer. But he was determined by this time. For five minutes he stood there and argued with those urchins and finally convinced them that he was not klddln'. He told them to Insist on getting their rights, and they sailed Into the house in jubilant spirits. "Well, thank heaven, I could con vince somebody that I wasn't a faker just because I offered something for nothing In this town," he remarked to himself as he hurried off to his own play.

Title i . -Frices The leading male of a troop of mon keys Is the patriarch, commander-in-chief and effective fighting force. The natives of India call him Maharaja and prooerly so, for he is the type of savage despotism. He uses his large canine teeth to maintain his power and to secure the lion's share of every thing, and Is easily moved to a parox ysm of rage. But the tyrant has his tragedies, one of which Is described by J. L. Kipling, In -his "Man and Beast in India."

One hand hung powerless, his face and eyes bore terrible traces of battle, and he hirpled slowly along with a pathetic air of suffering, supporting himself on the shoulder of a female a wife, the only member of his clan that had re mained faithful to him after his de feat. We threw them bread and raisins, and the wounded warrior carefully stowed the greater part away in his cheek pouch. The faithful wife, see ing her opportunity, holding fast his one sound hand and opening his mouth, deftly scooped out the store of raisins. Then she sat and ate them very calmly at a safe distance, while he mowed and chattered In impotent rage. He knew that without her help he could not reach home, and was fain to wait with what patience he might till the raisins were finished. This was probably her first chance of dis obedience or of self-assertion In her whole life, and I am afraid she thor oughly enjoyed it. She led him away at last possibly to teach him more salutary lessons of this sort. Observations.
