MULES OF MEXICO.
They Are Even More Knowing
Than
Our, Own Mk Brand.
"Everybody knows that all mules
arc brainy, but the mules of old Mex
ico bare something on other mules for
a Kort of prescience of their own," said
a man who has spent many years In
the neighboring republic. "A Mexican
mulo will do Just so much work and
not a blamed bit more. ' .
"The riling mule, for Instance, Is
fully aware of the distance, down to a
rod, lie l supposed and required to
traverse In the progress of one travel
ing day, uud all tbe sharp sticks or
goads or dyuamlte on earth won't get
him to do a bit more than what be
knows to be the correct distance. Tbe
Mexicans have got a peculiar aaylng In
connection with this characteristic of
the Mexican mule. , You ask a Mex
ican, for Instance, how far It la by
mulo back ti suck and such a point .1
" 'Two iUs' Journey if you are not I
rttSbod. but three days If you are In a j
fcnrry, the Mexican will reply. j
"His meaning Is that if you don't;
auk more of jour mule than you should '
usk of Llui, the uiule will be able to 1
make the trip In two days. But If you .
attempt to drive the brute hell soldier j
oa you, and in consequence the Jour-:
ney will take you three days." Ex-;

The Deceased Wife's SlsUr. . j.
Tbe law agalust marrying a deceased i
wife's sister, which caused so mucbj
discussion hi Eugland, grew out of j
the ancient tribal law forbidding a fa- j
ther to sell more than oue daughter to ;
the same man when the Briton was i
emerging from polygamy and when
for 21 shillings of the present money j
a man might dismiss. ms wife or kin
her If she would not go. As civil law
It was to protect the living wife and
knit tribes closer together by inter
marriage. When ecclesiastical law be
came supreme a misreading of some
Script ure text was used to put tbe
sister of a man's wife among the pro
hibited degrees of relationship. This!
was the act of 1541 (32 Henry VIII): I
"A man may not marry bis deceased
wife's sister or her daughter, but he j
may marry his first cousin." London
Standard.
Brittle Lizards.
Some kinds of lizards break In two
when suddenly startled. In the bush
in Australia the traveler often comes
across a number of these little Bllvery
rcptlloa basking on a log or piece of
old bark. As soon as they perceive
tho Invader there Is a great commotion.
They dart hither and thither so quick
ly that the eye can acarcely follow
their movements. The effects of the
shock are evident from the quantity of
wriggling tails lying about which have
been cast off In the hurry, while the
mutilated owners may be seen scurry
ing away to safety still wagging the
stumps that remain.
Density ef City Population.
' Although tjiere Is a certain area of
about three and a half acres on Man
hattan Island where the density of
population Is at the rate of 30,000 tc
the square mile, yet the city of Paris
shows a far greater average density
of population than New York, the fig
ures for Paris being 79,300 a square
mile and for New York city proper
40,000 a square mile. The average
density of London's population Is 37,
000 a squaro mile and that ot Berlin
