There U n minimum at wood used for bouso construction In the cities of Mexico, and there Is absolutely nothing to burn except what furnishings the houses may contain. The walls are solidly built of stonu and brick or In the less costly structures of adobes, which arc thickly plastered Inside and out with mortar or stucco. The floors are of brick, stone or tiles, while the roofs arc of brick laid In mortar or in pome cities of semlcyllndrlcnl clay tiles. Many roofs aro arched with brick laid flat, not on edge, and It Is marvelous how slight a curve sonic of these arches have. Yet they support heavy weights and have lasted througli centuries, l'lat roofs are supported by 0 by Inch hewn pine Joists placed eight Inch cs apart. These Joists are often twen ty feet In length. The doors arc heavy, hanging upon ornamented wrought strap hinges and Been red by strong, handmade locks, which have remark' ably large complicated keys. rractl cally the only wood used In construc tion Is for the doors and Joists which support the roof. The church roofs are Invariably of brick arches, usually scv cral arches lu each. There are no such fire traps In Mexico as those mansard roofs of French and American cities or the frail dwellings of China or the unl versal wooden structures which hav made Are Insurance so great a bnnle In the United States and which cause so great and continuous expenditures for Ore protection.

I cling to that perhaps fanciful theo ry that no primitive Instinct of man Is altogether lost. It Is modified, ampli fied, refined; that Is all. With all our culture we are barbarians still. Man Is a clothed savage. And now and again be delights In doffing the cloth ing and returning heartily to savagery. How delightful the feel of the briny breeze and the boisterous wave on the bare peltl Mr. Edward Carpenter rails at the, I think, eleven layers of clothing that intervene between our skins and the airs of heaven. Walt Whitman reveled In his nude sun bath. What a treat, too, sometimes to get away from the multlcoursed dinner nnd to Ute downright audibly Into simple food in the fresh air and to lap water noisily from the brook! Well, walking perhaps Is the primal lu, stlnct. ancient as Eden, where the Lord God walked In the garden In the cool of the day. And if my theory Is cor rect walking will persist till In recoV' ered paradise man walks with bis Maker again. No mechanical eontrlv anco for locomotion will extirpate the tribe of tourists, of those wbo walk from tore of walking. Arnold Haul tain in Atlantic. Speaking nnd Stopping;. The knowledge of when to sit down Is Invaluable to public speakers aud to their audiences. I'erhaps the best pla Is to secure a caudld friend who will null vou down liv Your coattalls. man "on his legs" Is one with whom time gallops; he has spoken for half a hour, and to him It seems hut five mln utes. The excitement of the brain suggests new and ever new Ideals, and the extemporary talker In the pulpit or after a public dinner flounders 1 pursuit of these will -o'- the-wisps through swamps and thickets of bad grammar haunted by the nnacolouthon and other fearful wild fowl. In the pulpit there Is no man to pull the preacher down, and many are Ills tw words more, my brethren." After pub- tyc dinners u bored audience begins to talk aim laugn. but tnese symptoms o disapproval are not marked by the self absorbed public speaker. In short, the knowledge of when to sit down Is rare and hard to nciulre. Longman's. Dlacuntent With Work. That there Is much discontent with work among the so called middle class. es In America Is due In large part to the p.impcrlug of children, to the sup plying of their natural and artificial wants and to the sentimental Idea that "their daj- of toll will come soou enough." In general, work Is not a curse, but a blessing, a positive means of grace. One can hardly begin too early to Impress upon children lessons of self help by tusks appropriate to their age and forces and to beget In them scorn of Idleness nnd of depend encc on others. To do this Is to make them happy through the self respect that comes with the realization of power and thus to approximate Tenny son's goal of man, "Self reverence, self knowledge, self control." Century. Seen, nirda Come niatlu There used to be In a store on Ninth avenue, New York, a very valuable ca nary whose owner and teacher, the wife of the German proprietor, re fused an offer of $500 for It Sometimes as one entered the place there came from a corner In the rear a liquid peal of music so sweet and high and clear that Jt sounded like a piccolo without the metallic shrillness of that lnstru ment In a small wicker cage a black and yellow canary waltzed round and round, never quiet and as It danced It sang the air of "Lauterbach" from be ginning to end without a falso quan tlty, without missing or changing a note. When the solo was finished the bird whisked up to Its perch, trilled an Improvisation and then began the me! ody again, breaking off In the middle, warbling a little In self willed fashion and then finishing the air. It was a beautiful and unique performance. Philadelphia Ledger. Smoklaa; la Bank. In every bank In New York there Is a rule against smoking, and It Is doubt ful If any depositor or visitor ever saw a coll of tobacco smoke sifting through the atmosphere In the big coupling bouses that Is, no visitor who is ex cluded from the building promptly when the bank closes. But if the curi ous could squeeze tbelr way through those closed portals In the afternoon they would be treated to a very differ ent sight. The rules against smoking In all the big banks of the city apply only dur ing banking hours. After the doors are closed and locked one can transform himself Into a human volcano with perfect freedom and he does. And ns" Is legion. New. York Times. Tito View, of the Helta. A clergyman on his way to church one Sunday morning pulled up to re buke au angler. "Don't you hear the bells summoning you to church!" l.o asked. The fisherman put an Inquiring hand to his ear. Encouraged, the cler gyman repeated the question. Itut once again the fisherman asked for a repel I tlon, and then again, and even yet again. Flushing from overmuch bawl ing. the parson was about to proceed on bis way when the fishernran soVe "Very sorry, guv'nor." he said, "but them bloomln' bells makes such nn In fernal clatter that 1 can't hear n wonl you says." London Globe. Durable Wliltevraah. A very durable whitewash that will stand nearly as well ns palut Is muilc as follows: Slake a bushel of lime with boiling water and tbln sufficiently with cold water to make n good whitewash; dissolve a pint of white vitriol (sul pbate of zinc) In boiling water, only enough to thoroughly dissolve It; also a quart of fine salt. The bushel of lime will weigh about seventy pounds, and by keeping the above proportions a greater or lees amount can be made. Maternal Pride.
