An Praetlrallr Fireproof.
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. Arboriculture.

The Dellikta of Hadltr.
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

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

The knowledge of when to sit down

their audiences. I'erhaps the best pla
Is to secure a caudld friend who will

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

suggests new and ever new Ideals, and
the extemporary talker In the pulpit
or after a public dinner flounders 1

grammar haunted by the nnacolouthon

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.

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.

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.
