Ladles' dome Journal.
Memorial day , May 30 , once rnoro
called upon the living to lay aside their
cares and duties und pay tribute to the
memory of the soldier dead. The cus
tom IB a part of the national life. It is
a hallowed institution , a sacred duty
Imposed on the psoplo. It is a holy
and wholesome duty , a most effective
evidence of patriotic regard for the
heroes wno fought and died that the
union might live.
The observance of Memorial day in
the United Stiles is familiar to all. The
custom is not confined to this country.
In old Mexico , where hundreds of
American soldiers sleep , Decoration
dny is a glorious annual festival , held In
the fall of the year. A correspondent
of THE BKK , who participated in the
ceremonies last year , elves the follow-
injr interesting account of
Mexico * ! Decoration I > ay.
"The Mexicans keep an annual Deco
ration dny wh5ch is even more elaborate
and extended in its celebration than
ours. Upon the annual recurrence of
that dny the graves of the American
soldiers who fell during our war with
Mexico in 18-17 are always most gener
ously included in the decoration. No
nation follows more faithfully than
Mexico the Christian precept enjoining
us to 'forgive and love our enemies. '
"I have said , that the Mexican Decor
ation dny is more elaborate and ex
tended in its celebration than ours , for
the reason that the Mexicans not only
adorn with floral tributes the graves of
their fallen soldiers , but also deposit
them upon the last resting plueoof _ all
their loved ones , irrespective of sex ,
nge or occupation , because instead of
being limited to one day. like our ob
servance , that of Mexico is prolonjred
for a period of three nights and two
days. The difference in the climateand
the time of year at which flowers are
most abundant also cause Mexico's De
coration day to bo kept at a different
season from ours.
"The ol ervance practically begins on
the night of October SI at 'about 7 p.
m. , and about that hour on the last dny
of last October 1 found myself mingled
with a crowd of iwople who were pour
ing along tbe Calle de San Francisco
into the Plaza Mayor , in the City
of Mexico , within whose elegant
zoccolo a government military band
was sending forth strains of delicious
music. Both the Plaza May or and the
Plaza de la Constitncion presented a
most brilliant sight. They had been
cofaverted into a temporary fair ground
crowded with innumerable booths ,
which offer for sale the strangest
commodities that ever merchant
dealt in. Everything sold is em
blematic of death .and decay. There
are immense piles of candy skulls , in
bomo of which have been placed minia
ture wax candles , whoso light shining
through the toothless jaws and eyeless
sockets of crystallzed sugar produces a
most ghastly effect. There are skele
tons of every imaginable size and mate
rial upon the counter of every booth ,
some of them poor , cheap affairs ol
paper , many of candy and others elabo
rately constructed of wood itnd jointed
BO that the pulling of a t-tring causes
them to dance and caper in a weirdly
comical way. Some of them are fan
tastically dressed like ballet dancers
and are" surrounded by croups of candy
tombs and senulchers. Students of old
Ungllsh customs have heard of 'Voul
cakes , " a sort of bun which good na-
.Vured people used to prepare in large
quantities to give to children who wenl
about from bouse to Louse at tills time ol
year singing a song and demanding a
Boul cake tvs a reward , but the booths in
tbe Plaza Mayor on that eve of the Deco
ration day celebration offe-od for sale
eoul cakes which , for appropriateness
and elaborate design , threw these of old
England completely into the shade.
They consisted of three layers of cake
BO placed as to form three stopa , cov
ered with -white icing and leading up to
n chocolate cross at the extremity of
the topmost layer or step. Upon each of
the other layers there was some design
in chocolate intended to remind the pur
chaser of the solemn occasion -which the
cake -was mount to commemorate , buch
ns skulls , bone ; ) and cofllns.
"Catafalques made of xvood nnd
paintoa blacK , frouTC inche * . to 2i feet
jn height nnd from S inches to 2 feet
square , weie also a highly popu
lar articio of merchandise. Some of
thorn consisted of several platforms ris
ing ono above the other , elaborately
draped with Hack cloth tint ) emblazoned
in gilt with crosses , skulls end coffins.
' Besides the booths there arc numer
ous open air kitchens , whence the
tempting display of edibles is constantly
being leplen bcd , und where stout
swarthy young women , their well-
_ _ unded neck and arms displayed to the
bebf advantage by the low-necled , fchort-
eleevod cht-intae , which is their only
garment utiovo the waist , are busily cn-
e ed in compounding , frying , oiling
und bulling those fearfully and wonder
fully iniide dibhes in which the Mexican
palate delights. .
"Butuu.ht interesUnc of all sights arc
the pooile tbom elvea. Though the oc-
cobion in intended to "bo a bolumn one ,
and ono would think the display of such
wares as 1 have described above calcu-
ntod to si : on ply emphasize itb solem
nity , yet tbo aboute und vociferations of
the light hearted crowd ana their
bouncings und gambols in the shadow of
the grand old cathedral , -which for over
1KX ) years lins stood at tbe bead of the
platuotu such as might at first have
led one to think that the inmates of that
philanthropic establishment , the Cain
do Locos ilucntic asjlumj. had forced
bolts und burs und cxclinngod their
fcUiiighl wuiHcaaU for othe s of u more
el us tic and becoming model , while above
all arose from the zoccolo sU-jins of Mich
music as vre seldom never hoar In tbe
Status , for the playing of aMoxican gov-
srnoiont military band is u revolution of
tbe possibilities of each uu organization.
"All that night , und durinir the buc-
tocdlng day und night , the preptratory
festivities if 1 may to designate them
Df the annual Decoration day uro stead
ily continued. With tbo dawn of Do-
eoratlon dny proper , which. xvas .Novem
ber 2 , cutzitf crowds of oeople laden
with flowere. uud from the first strculcof
dn > Hcht until dusk tbo ootuoVeno * of
San Fernando and Do ores , and the
French , English and Atnaiicau Imrylnjr
ground * uro crowded with tbosa wno
tome to visit and decorate tbe graves ol
their dead. Many of those earth
mounds hare been-wholly concealed by
flo-wora , wid the entire inclosuros of the
cemeteries have presented the appear
ance of ono vast flower bed , whose deli
cious perfumes have completely filled
the air. Flowers are so marvelouMy
cheap hpre that it costs but a trifle to
> lace them upon many graves. In the
lower market that Decoration day
morning 1 was offered rosebud bouquets ,
which , in the Slatvs , at that timc of
ear , would hare been worth about $80 ,
or "quatro reales"50 ( cents' , and the
cnder , when I showed no disposition to
mrcLaso. dropped to "dos reales' ' (25 (
cent * ) . Finding that even this liberal
reduction failed to attract attention , he
lesirefl me to name mv own price ,
Elaborate floral designs , such as would
cost several dollars nt home , nny be
lurchasod hero for a few cents.
* 'Ono of a colossal honrtmtide entirely
of the finest white TOJBS NiphetUw
which would have cost in the States nt
east S20was offered me first for sais
realesseventyfive ( cents ) and finally at
my own price. Mexican residents tell
me that flowers were formerly much '
cheaper than at present , the loud ex
pressions of surprise at their cheapness
made by American tourists and their
readiness to pay without question the "
sum first asked by the dealers having
considerably advanced prices.
"Dolores , the principal cemetery of
Mexico , and the one In which the most
jlabnrato floral display Is made , Is a
Burial place ot great beauty and extent.
It is as tastefully laid out and has as
"
many and as "handsome monuments ,
grave-stones and mausoleums as the
average cemetery in our largo American
cities. San Francisco ( St. Francis ) is
also a large and handsome city of the
dead and the .floral display made there
on Decoration day-is likowke elaborate
and beautiful. In the American ceme
tery in which , though not nearly so
largo and ornamental : n those just men
tioned , there is "good , snug lying , " as
Sir Lucius O'Trigcer says , there are
Juried 750 American soldiers who fell on
the battle fields of Controras , Churebus-
co , El Mollno del Key and Chupultapec ,
among the most famous and bloody bat
tle fields of that war which gave to the
United States the rich prizes of Califor
nia and New Mexico.
"Over those dead heroes , sleeping
their hist sleep in a foreign Landa , hand
some monument has bsen erected to
commemorate their deeds of valor. On
every Decoration day their last resting
place is literally cove-od with flowers ,
while innumerable floral designs of rare
beauty adorn their monument. It was
with great pleasure that I saw many of
these floral tributes placed there by the
people of that nation by wnose hand
my countrymen had fallen. It was a
striking proof that the fierce enmity of
nearly half a century ngo had been re
placed by friendliness and good will.
The Mexicans who placed flowers upon
the graves of those American soldiers
had only words of kindness and praise
for their sleeping foes.
"At the village of Popol'a , a short dis
tance from the American cemetery , I
saw on that Decoration day another re
markable illustration of the gentle , for
giving spirit of the Mexicans. Popotla
is famous for its rrrand old cypress tree
under which Cortez wept on a night in
July , 1520. when retreating from the
City of Mexico. The furious Aztecs or
native Mexicans"hnd driven the Spanish
conqueror and his forces from the cap
ital As he and his broken army fled
before their maddened and savage foes
he called a short halt at Popotla , and
pausing to rest under the spreading
branches of this cypress tree he ivept as
ho beheld his vanquished followers and
meditated upon what then seemed the
complete and ignominious failure of all
his trrand schemes of conquest.
"The cypress is a very largo ono of
great height and girth. It is tur-
ronnded by an iron-railing , and strange
as it may seem that the Mexicans , whom
ho subjugated to-a foreign power which
held them in slavish subjection for 300
years , should have any feeling of regard
for the memory of Cortez , jet it is a fact
that I saw hangiair upon that railing
many wreaths and other floral tributes
which had been placed there bv pious
folk who no doubt had offered up at the
time devout prayers for the soul of the
Spiinibh adventurer.
"On the road to the French cemetery
of La Piodnd there .are some boautif ul
meadows by the side of running streams ,
a short distance beyond the old wall
which still surrounds the Mexican capi
tal. There 1 was much amused on the
afto-noon of last Decoration day in
watching the gambols of the populace
who had assembled in largo numbers
and converted the place into a tempo
rary picnic ground. Among the mead
ows swings had been put between large
trees for the enjoyment of the ladies by
some gallant muchaches ( young gentle
men ) , v-ho amused themselves by send
ing the parsons of their mistresses as
near the clouds as such humble terres
trials could hope to go. A cravat taken
from the neck of one of tha bystanders
and fastened immediately above the
knees secured the skirts of the suspend
ed beauty from the action of the wlud
and presented an effectual barrier to
the indiscreet wanderings of any roving
eye. She certainly could not complain
of any lack of vigor or good will on the
part of her admirers. Some , awaiting
her descent toward the ground , seized
her by her well turned legs and sent her
bac'c "tonard heaven again-with great
velocity. Others , less privileged or leas
daring , watched tbe favorable moment
and by a iiosaisg application ol their
hands behind gave nor an increased Im
petus in the opposite direction , while
Ei-roams ot laughter from tbo mucnacha
and her beaux added fresh zest to the
pastime.
"Tho members of another group ore
about to enjoy a dance. One young fej-
low , wearing u high , conical paper cap
of different color ? and flourishing a long
staff , ucted as master of ceremonies. A
tall sergeant -with his fomtring cap on
his ear , who had evidently looked too
frequently upon the pulque ( the Mexi
can national beverage ) reminded one of
Stcrnn's story in his 'Sentimental
Journey' of the tall man and the dwarf
at the theater. Neither the mandates
of the master of ceremonies nor the
grumblings of some of the bystanders
could it.duco him to quit the bide of n
buxom nina ( young girl ) , whom he iidd
evidently marked for his own. The
young women were engaged in tying up
each otter's hair and making other
preparations for the dance , introducing
no btmll amount of coquetry therein.
Aftvr many onrnust supplications from
the men. most of them accepted pirt-
ac-rs , the prettiest holding out the ltu > t ,
and borne of them even threatened to de
cline the diuico altogether. When the
music sounded , tbo oscillations of the
sergeant's nrms scoured for himself
much more than his rightful space ,
the othbr male dancers evidentlv wlah-
Ing to aroid so formidable a comrade.
The setting i un at length gave warning
to tbo dancers. Th * crowd again poured
cityward , the glguntio sergeant tower
ing for above his fellows , and bearing
off on one arm his buxom partner , while
thrust through the other wag the
ecrawuy hand of her fia Juana ( Aunt
Joan ) , uzhtly clutching a handkerchief
of orangesan offering from the surgeant ,
do iirned to propitiate so important a
member of her family. "

What can ba more charming in a person than BEAUTIFUL CLEAN TEETH and a SWEET BREATH. Ono may ba
robed in the richest apparel and ornamented with the rarest gems , yet if accompanied with unsightly , dirty teeth ,
the charm is gone. While , on the other hand , a person possessing a beautiful or oven clean set of teeth , when accora
panied with plain dress , is at all
times attractive and fascinating.
