Blond Indian*.
One of the mysteries of Mexico U
presented by the Maya Indians, who
Inhabit the Sierra Madre mountains In
the lower part of Sonora. They have
fair skins, blue eyes ttnd lljxht balr. and
students of ethnology have always
been puzzled to accouut for them.
There Is a tradition, however, that [
the-e Indian;: are the descendants of
the crew and passengers of a Swedish
vessel wrecked on the Mexican coast ;
centuries liefore Columtius discovered !
the new world, lint this tradition is
founded ou nothing more substantial
than a 1'olklore tale current among
theiu that their ancestors eaiue over
t lie big salt water hundreds of moons
ago.
A Frog of Peculiar Habits.
South America lias n frog of peculiar
habits. Dwelling In tlie virgin forests,
at flit' tops of the highest trees, It .
chooses as h site for Its nursery some j
hollow stump anil then proceeds to |
line it with resin procured from trees j
ti the neighborhood. This lining serves
to catch and hold the rainwater, with
which it quickly becomes filled. As
?soon as this takes place the eggs aro
laid therein, and here they undergo de- j
velopnient into tadpoles. How the re
sin Is collected Is n mystery, nor is it ;
yet known how the separate pieces be
come welded to form the water tight
>asin necessary to Insure the safety of
rhe treasures deposited t heroin.
Something of That Kind.
"Young man." said the serious geu
tleuian. "did you ever pause and think
: that each tick of the clock brings you
another moment neuter 10 the end of
your existence?"
"1 was thinking of something of that
kind this very minute." cheerfully re
?' plied the youth, "only the idea struck
1 me that each tick brought pay day that
' much neurer."

pect me to stay in de house at night
and still get my chickens?"
