MEXICAN CARRIERS.
The Cargadora Can Carry Enormous
Loada on Their Shoulders.
Just as one finds the rickshaw every
where in India, so one finds the carga
dor in Mexico. lie is a beast of bur
den. In general he Is a comparatively
small man, with broad shoulders and
stout arms and legs. To look at him
one would not think he would be able
to carry heavy burdens.
But the
weight be can carry Is surprising, You
have a trunk you can scarcely move,
for Instance. You send for a cargador.
He gets It upon bls back, high up on
the shoulders, and he marches off with
it as easily ns though It were a play
thing. A life dedicated to carrying
heavy burdens has made this work
easy for him. A Bllgbtly built Mexican
will carry over 500 pounds on bis
shoulders for short distances.
Until recent years almost everything
In the City of Mexico and everywhere
else throughout the republic was car
ried upon the backs of cargadora. If
you wanted to move your household
furniture you hired a certain number
of cargadora. For bouse moving they
generally work In pairs, each pair hav
ing a band truck, which they pick up
and carry when it Is loaded, for It has
no wheels. In the City of Mexico there
are still hundreds of these hand trucks,
though one may now find plenty of
carts, wagons and heavy moving
trucks.—Mexican Herald.
Th» Only Piece He Cared About.
CAME TO STAY.
Return of the Prodigal With Money
and a Large Check.
Old home week had come, and the
returned sons and grandsons were
gathered together. One after another
they rose and told with pardonable
pride tbelr achievements in the great
world, Impressing tbelr Importance on
the stay at homes. At length Mr.
Jameson spoke:
“I went away from here twenty
years ago a poor young man, with only
one solitary dollar In my pocket. I
walked the four miles from my fa
ther’s farm to the station, and there I
begged a ride to Boston on a freight
car.. Last night I drove into town be

In money today, besides a large check,"
and Mr. Jameson looked about him
with a smile.
“Fifty dollars!”
“Seventy-five'”
“A hundred!" shouted the boys, filled
with admiration.
“No,” said Mr. Jameson, drawing a
large, flat purse from bls pocket when
the clamor had subsided, “none of you

How Sleep Is Caused.
Just bow sleep Is brought about la
one of the unsolved problems that have
been before science since the earliest
times. There are three general ex
planations of Bleep. They are called
the circulatory, the chemical and the
histological theories. The first two
have subdivisions. The histological
theory Is now pretty well accepted.
The nervous system is made up of
thousands of nerve cells. These are
connected like a huge net by nerve ele
ments, little branching fibers. Each
nerve element is structurally interde
pendent, but functionally dependent.
Neurologists tell us that the fibers be
come disconnected in sleep—that is,
each nerve cell Is separated from its
neighbors by the elements, or connect
ing fibers, becoming disconnected. The
nerve cells build up themselves while
separated, as they have no messages
from the body to bear to the brain.
As the sleeper regains consciousness
the nerve fibers unite and -ouce more
begin their duties. — St. Louis Post
Dispatch.
Possible Population of the Earth.
By the best reckoning the earth's
population for some two centuries or
so has been increased at the rate of
about a million a year. From now on.
on account of improved material condi
tions and the diminution of the slaugh
ter consequent to war, the increase
blds fair to be much greater. It has
recently been estimated that the earth
under present conditions might be able
to support a number treble that of its
present population — that is, about
4,500,000.000—four thousand five hun
dred millions. By means of scientific
appliances and the reclamation of nrid
and swamp lands it has been calculat
ed that the figure giveu might be dou
bled or ever trebled, giving ten or pos
sibly fifteen thousand millions ns the
ultimate limit of the earth’s popula
tion.—New York American.

Mark Twain’s Mean Man.
"The meanest man I ever knew,”
said Mark Twain, "lived in Hannibal.
He sold his son-in-law the half of a
very fine cow and then refused to
share the milk with the young fellow
on the ground that he bad only sold
him the front half. The son-in-law
was also compelled to provide all the
cow's fodder and to carry water to her
twice a day. Finally the cow butted
the old man through a barbed wire
fence, and be sued bis son in-law for
$50 damages."
