There is in Lowell a boy, different in no respects from his companions, who has this power in a marked degree. Every stray dog or cat in the neighborhood knows him and loves to be in his company. A vicious horse which the stablemen can with difficulty handle will stand like a lamb while he harnesses and anharnesses him.

The doves Ay around him, and in the woods the wild birds apparently regard him as a friend and ally. The most remarkable exhibition of his power, which has long been known and commented on by his friends, was given the other day. A large and vicious rat was captured in the stable in one of those traps which permit of easy ingress and no egress. The men who were looking at the animal were afraid to go near the trap, the animal showed such terror, but the boy when he beheld the imprisoned creature fearlessly put out his finger and stroked its head, the rat manifesting as much pleasure as would a cat or 8 dog. Several daye have passed since then, and the stablemen are still afraid of their capture, but he has grown 80 tame and familiar with the boy as to allow him to take him out and put him in the trap.

will come at his whistle, and manifests every appearance of joy at his presence. There seeme to be no question but what the boy could train that rat to perform almost any feat within the power of such an animal. MEXICO'S NEW WOMAN. The St. Louis A STRANGE POWER.

Evening A Mexican woman station agent is one of the curiosities of travel on the road from Puebla to Oaxaca. Her name is Concha Blanca. Her post of duty is at Etla, the place which the Indians flock from the mountains for a hundred miles around for their annual feasts, and also the shipping point for the big haciendas in the fertile valleys among these mountains. When the train stops at Etla in the dark, a young woman in white, for Senorita Concha dresses to tateh her surname, stands at the door of i be express car, lantern in hand. checking the packages on the big receipt book.

When the freight trains stop, she fits in and out of the long line of cars telling the brakemen what to take and what to leave. She is from one end of the train to the other, seeing that uo mistakes are made. This bareheaded girl in a white dress is full of business. She wastes no time on empty words. The trainmen respect her.

She does everything about the station but handle the baggage. There are plenty of stont Mexicans of the other sex hanging around for that work. Concha Blanca 18 80 well esteemed by the management of the road that she has been twice promoted, until now she has one of the most important statione under her care. Sbe does all of the telegraphing, besides attending to the ticket selling, and to the receiving and shipping of freight. It was her knowledge of telegraphing that got the young woman her first recognition.

Her father and two brothers operators. She learned to use the key. A station was given to her whare there was not much to do besides telegraphing. Her aptitude for railroad work attracted the attention of General Manager Morcom, ha and the promotions followed. Concha Blanca lives in the station.

Her mother keeps house for her and a younger sister sits at the telegraph table learning the vocation of the new woman in Mexico. The conductors have got in the way of pointing out to travelers Senorita Concha along with the ruins of the ancient city on the mountain top, the site where the battle of Tehuacan was fought, the hieroglyphics on the cliff at the entrance to Rio Salado Canyon, and other objects of interest. And the Mexican woman agent with her honest brown eyes and mass of wavy hair carelessly knotted. moving up and down the side of train with quick, determined step, loses nothing in interest by comparison with the other strange things. THE RAISING OF VANILLA BEANS.

"The greatest industry in our neighborhood," said Mancos Quedalia, of PapMexico, at the St. Jamer, "is the cultivation of the vanilla The cultivation of this plant differs from the general idea of agricultural care. for it consists entirely in cutting The vines are naturally grown from cutaway forests to give, it room to grow. tings, just as the grape vines, but they can also be grown from seeds, in which case it is much longer before they begin to bear. The vine is very hardy in its native element, and sometimes takes root, even if thrown carelesely on the gronnd, providing only that it has shade and moisture.

It grows best in virgin soil where streams abound and where the soil has a alight intermixture of sand. "After setting out the plants, if they thrive, they will begin to bear fruit in three or four years. The yield of beane increases each year after that until about the fifth, when it begins to dwindle. In abont the tenth year there is little or no yield and the plant is cut down. The vines yield, when they are in their greatest development, from 85 to 200 beans.

The beans are not ripe until they become yellow, which is in January or Februbut they are cat prematurely on ac count of the depredations of thieves, and on account of the great demand. the average for the last ten years the number of beans gathered in each year's crop has been above 000,000. As a rule the planters do not know how to cure the beans. This is a matter which requires much experience. and persons making a profession of it buy the beans from the planter and cure them themselves.

Vanilla beans are also grown in subtropical climates, bat they are much inferior to the Mexican A Partial Blockade.

CROSS SON, Manufacturers, MONTPELIER, VT. Most of the childish superstitious gaines that are almost indissolubly connected with Hallowe'en have been regarded generations as amusing, but harmless. It has remained an English writer to trace a relation between lovers' incantations and Hallowe'en pracand the number of fallen women in tices, towns and villages. The writer argues that after a young womau hast spent hours and perhaps days and weeks trying to ascertain the name of ber future husband- and it seems to be true that girls become wore interested such practices after they have set their hearts ou a particular man- -when he appears in the flesh she is not in as mood to insist on a determined "No" to any of his advances. Fate, the girl thinks, has told her that she and he are destined for each other, Neither can get away from fate, and reasoning thus.

the girl, this English writer holds. becomes his victim. It's an interesting point of view. In the course of an article on this subject in the Humanitarian Lucian Wetherell enumerates some of the more common love spells that are nracticed in one village in England. Most of them do not differ from those with which Americans are familiar, through Hallowe'en parties indulged early childhood.

The most approved method of obtaining a glimpse into the future is to take a handful of barley on the eve of St. Agnes, or Hallow mass, and sow it under an apple tree. repeatiog meanwhile: Barley, barley, I sow thee, That my true love I may see; Take thy rake and follow me! After which the figure of the future husband appears, following the spellworker and raking up the seed that she has It may be said that most of the spells are used by women good purpose. They want a busband and adopt these means merely to quicken his love. Men never take any stock in the spells except when they want to accomplish an evil purpose.

Another effective spell is this: An unmarried girl who sets out supper with proper precautions and watches it on St. Mark's eve see the spirit of her foreordained husband enter the room at midnight and partake of the meal. Still another method of seeing the longed-for apparition is for a girl to hang her chemise before the fire on St. Mark's eve, in order that the wraith of the young man she will wed may come in and turn it round -rather a strange proceeding for a ghost with connubial aspiratione. If a girl wants to compel a man to marry her this method is said to be infallible: "Go to an 8 o'clock holy communion, and when you take the bread 10 your mouth hide not swallow it.

Hold it there until service is over. When you come out of the church you will see a toad in the yard. You must eject the bread from your mouth before the toad, which will eat it at The old women who believe in this spell bold that no man can resist the girl after this. will be ready to marry you the next time you meet him," 18 the assurance that the old folk give to the girl. Speaking of toads, all folk-lore stadents agree that they have an influential place in the love spells of all communities.

The breast bone of a toad is held in great veneration in many countries. In England the common practice seems to be to bury a toad's breast bone in an ant bill until the ants have eaten off all of the flesh. Then, to test its efficacy, one must throw it into a running stream. If it sails proudly and determinedly against the current, the charm is all right. Its power over horses, cattle, and persons is said to be absolutely irresistible.

These toad stones are the charms that depraved men often use when they wish to gain power over a woman's affections. Another alleged way to conjure up the spirit of a future husband make use of the first bunch of mayflower in the spring, especially if you can find it on May eve. The procedure consists of merely breaking the blossom only partly from the bush. It must be left hanging there. Then you go home, and if you do not dream of your future husband that night go out the next day and pluck the blossom.

You will not fail, tradition says, to see him before you reach your home with the flowers. These practices must be followed now and then by some success, for they seem to be observed by generation after generation of love girls. -New York Press. TEUTONIC CALM ON A STATE OCCASION. City Times Governor Thomas T.

Crittenden, who succeeded Phelps in the executive chair, was inaugurated in January, 1881, with more ceremony and frills than any other governor since the war. There were military trainloads and of bands galore, from and Kansas special people came City and St. Louis to witness the pageant. The military features were in charge of Captain Hawley, of St. Louis, who was grand marshall of Brockmeyer, who, as lieutenant governor.

The senate lobby was crowded and the senators were in their seats, on the tiptoe of expectancy, for on martial strains could be heard on the outside. At this juncture a figure in a glittering and brilliant uniform pushed through the crowd and marched half up the aisle. It was Marshal of the Day Hawley. Drawing his sword he made a military salute, and pompously announced: "Mr.

RAINFALLS THAT DO NOT REACH EARTH. OLD LOVE SI'ELLS. City In the Colorado desert they have rainstorms during which not a single drop of water touches the earth.

The rain can be seen falling from the clouds high above the desert, but when the water reaches the strata of hot, dry air beneath the clouds it is entirely absorbed before falling half the distance to the ground. It is a singular sight to witness a heavy downpour of rain, not a drop of which touches the ground. These strange rainstorms occur in regions where the shade temperature often ranges as high as 128 degrees Fahrenheit. Speed and safety are the watch words of the age.

Such reproductions are turned out nowadays that they cannot be distintion, from the natural ear. guished, even upon a fairly close, inspecspecially prepared rubber, flesh colored in the rough, they are painted by hand in exact imitation of the remaining ear the unfortunate customer and 48 carefully and marked over as an artist's picture. This is necessary, for an artificial ear must be perfect to be acceptable, and such careful work pays the maker, for he gets a hundred dollars apiece for them. In a certain workshop the other day, where much scientific work is done, was shown to a Tribune representative a little box some seven or eight inches long, less than two inches broad, and hardly half an inch high. $500 worth of goods in that box," said the foreman, as he lifted off the cover, displaying five rubber ears lying in cotton.

"These are for four different men and one woman-you see that little ear there and all they need now is for the artist to call for them and touch 'em up according to little slips we'll give him telling just how the coloring should go on. We studied our customers carefully when we; took the orders. hundred dollars seems a big price, doesn't it, to pay for a little thing like one of those ears that's so flexible you can crumple it up in your hand easily? But people that have never made artificial ears have no idea of the work that is on them. There is no guessing about making them. You have to be as exact as if you were carving out a statue.

In the first place, when a man comes here to get an ear to replace one he's lost we take a would of the ear that is left, and, if there is any part of the other, we must get a mould of that, too, so as to be able to fit on the new ear. There are no two ears the same, and it a takes our most skilled workmen to get an ear from this mould or pair of moulds that is lifelike and appears to have the color of flesh. When finished the new ear is pasted on the old stump, or simply set precisely where the old ear was, and not one man in a thousand can tell the difference. It is really only the first ear that 18 expensive. What costs make the mould.

If a man has his mould with us we will give him duplicate ears for about $20 each. There is one customer on our books hailing from Chicago who buys five ears a year from us, on an average. I don't know what he does with them all, but he seems to want them. "The demand, take it altogether, is limited, and 1 don't suppose we ever turn out more than twenty new ears a year. We have only been making them up to our present standard a couple of years, by the way.

vulcanized rubber that can be bent and twisted experience bas taught us is the best material to use: We have experimented with nearly everything. Last summer we tried aluminum, thinking that it would be lighter. but. do our best. the ear turned out far heavier; and.

besides, the metal would not lend itself nearly as well as rubber to the imitating of flesh tints. "How do people lose their ears? In two ways, -in railroad accidents or by getting caught in machinery. The former is by far the more York Tribune. The True Remedy. W.
