of this county agitating this question

ROAMING IN MEXICO
STRANGE SIGHTS AND PICTURESQUE.
FIGURES TO BE SEEN.
the First Morning In Ui City of Mexico.
The Wittr Curler and Milkman The
Women's Costumes An American from
Omith and His Sadden Decline.
If Jules Verne had taken a trip to the city
of Mexico and other cities in Mexico which
have never been disturbed by the dust and
noLso of our Nineteenth century locomotives,
he need never have taken his celebrated trip
to the moon to see strange phase of life. Or
he might have called Mexico his moon and
written the wonderful tales without in the
least fatiguing his imagination.
The first morning in Mexico is full of
wonders. Where were the open sewers rook
ing with fllthf Where were the death deal
ing odors and black funeral street cars which
we supposed were to be seen hurrying after
every car rilled with the living? The streets
were clean and well swept, the air most sweet
and exhilarating, and over all, breathing its
benediction into every narrow street, was the
glorious, ever constant sunlight.
STREET SCENES IN THE CAPITAL
Strange sights greeted one at every turn.
Down the street passed a vender of fruits. 4
On his head was a large flat tray fringed
around the edges with leaves and filled high
with yellow musk melons, while on either
hand was balanced a smaller tray, one con
taining apricots and the other prickly poors.
This last named fruit looks like small be3t&
The picturesque engraving which all have
soon of the' eastern water carrier has in Mex
ico its living counterpart, bent half double
under the large jar of water on his back,
which is suspended by straps passing ov er his
shoulders and forehead. He trot3 all day
from house to house, measuring tho water
out in a pitcher which be carries in his baud,
and selling for a ccntavo a pitcherf ul. He is
barefooted, or has simply a piece of 'leather
strapped to tho soles of ids feet; his white
drawers are rolled up to his knees, and over
his white shirt he wears a short leather or
cloth jacket. Altogether, he furnishes one of
tho most picturesque objects in Mexico.
The milkman, too, has a dress all his own.
The outer seam of his brown pantaloons is
left open from the ankle of his bar foot to
the knee, disclosing a fullness of snowy white
cloth. The women wear the chemise as their
only waist, a bright embroidered etticoat,
and the inevitable scarf like rebosoe, with Its
graceful fringe, seems a suitable dress for
this climate. One cannot help wlsaing that
these characteristics of dress might bo re
tained, but tho lower classes will liurely fol
low the lead of tho higher castes, who already
have adopted all the French absurdities, and
only a black lace mantilla now and then
serves to remind one of their Spanish origin.
The only exaggeration of the Spanish sort
of dress which we saw was one evoning when
there came into our hotel a most elaborately
dressed "in His buckskin trousers and
jacket were embroidered heavily in silver,
his cambric ru files were immaculate, and on
either side of his felt hat was a large silver
bull's head, with diamond eyes as largo as
hazel nuts. Diamonds sparkled from his
bosom and hands, and we supposed be must
be a grandee of high estate. What was our i
amusement to learn he was an American
from Omaha trying to "out Herod Herod" in
grandeur if not in cruelty.
Now "listen to the tale of woe.1 In a sub
dued looking person coming north a week or
so later we recognize the gay Loth aria He
sat quietly in his seat, with drooping lines
about his entire personality. His suit of dark
clothes was rusty; his hat wm bereft of the
bulls' heads and no diamond sparkled any
where. At El Paso a silver mounted Mexican
saddle, the only relio of hi- past grandeur,
was found in bis trunk, and he was marched
off to the custom house, but not before the
glimpse we obtained of tho interior of the
trunk revealed two soiled calico shirts I
NO RAILROADS WANTED.
But to return to the street scenes of Mexico.
Wagons there are none, or at least very few,
and everything to be moved is carried on
the backs of man or beas. One morning we
saw moving along piles cf lumber, each pile
carried along by four legs, so we supposed
that somewhere in the midst a little burro
was hidden. It is said that each one can
carry 800 pounds. Tratting as steadily as
horses, and closely following the animated
lumber yard, came five peons, each with a
sewing machine strapped to his back, and yet
the Archbishop of Hons Kong, whom we
met traveling through Mexico, attended by
a Chinese convert piiest, a good man who
has spent thirty years as a missionary in
China, told na that bo was sorry to see rail
roads building; in Mexico, He declined to
"T-lie his reasons.

The street sprmximg in Mexico is all done
from a watering pot held in the hand, and
what is done at all m well done. A few years
ago an enterprising man from our country (a
Chicago man, of course) tried to introduce
watering carts, but the peons rose in a body
and drove the invader out
There are many private carriages in Mexico
which are imported from the United States,
and we saw many fine horses. These all
looked very natural, but the drivers and foot
men would call from our polite newsboys
many a "hi. hi," and afford them much
amusement. Sitting on the box, their shawl
like serapes of bright colors drawn around
their shoulders and their heads covered with
the hat of the country a felt hat the crown of
which resembles a very tall beehive and the
broad brim profusely decorated with silver
braid the Mexican Jehu is a tremendous
fellow, and can be seen any afternoon in all
his glory drivingthe fairest senoritas along
the Paseo, the fashionable drive which lies
between the city and Chapultepoc, the site
upon which stood the summer home of Mon
tezuma. Here one afternoon we came to the most
beautiful spot we had ever seen. The hill is
surrounded by a grove of giant cypress trees,
through which the road winds around and
up until the castle on tht .:: t :.!: i ; '.- ;
These trees, covered with Spanish uitas, uru
tho only survivors of all their kind which
once covered the wholo Mexican valley. Their
branches droop pathetically as though they
were still dreaming of their lost companions
and mourning over the sorrows of their Aztec
friends, who, no doubt, loved them dearly.

Her Parents Shocked Her.
The following anecdote of a public school
graduate was told at a recent meeting of the
Association of Collegiate Alumnae in New
York city: "One young lady, exceptional in
her frankness, though probably not In her
opinion," said the narrator of the story,
"graduating from a grammar school in white
sat in and cotton lace, with seven bouquets,
three baskets of flowers and 71 per cent., re
marked to a friend:
" 'Yes, I've finished my education, but I'm
not so happy as I s'posed I should be. You
see, papa and momma pronounce their words
so shocking, and know so little about science
and literature and 'returuetio that's it's posi
tively a hardship to associate with them.
But I hope I shan't have to endure it long. I
mean to marry a banker and live abroad.' "
Chicago TribunHi
A Woman's Wit.
Not a thousand miles from Boston dwells a
man who has recently wed a third spouse. It
was the somewhat eccentric whim of the sec
ond wife to have a picture painted wherein
she and the first wife were represented as
standing together with their arms entwined
about each other's waist. When the third
wife came into power, she was at first some
what puzzled to know what to do with this
extraordinary production of combined affec
tion and art. With genuine woman's wit,
however, she hit upon the idea of having the
piece worked over, and with what result may
be judged from a conversation in regard to
tho picture which took place between the
bride and one of her wedding callers. The
visitor inquired if the picture represented
relatives of the family.
"No, not relatives," the then wife replied.
"I believe the originals were distant connec
tions of my husband, but the picture repre
sents 'Faith and Resignation.' It is thought
that the figure of Faith resembles a former
friend of Mr. Smith, but I cannot tell, as I
never saw her." Boston Transcript.
Photographing- by Heat. .
It may be said that photographs can be
taken by heat as well as by light. The ac
tion of the shorter waves of energy which we
call light Is quicker and sooner manifest to
the eye than the action of the long waves
which we call eat; but the invisible heat
rays in the solar spectrum have been photo
graphed. The slow action of heat in chang
ing the molecular state of bodies is well
known. It is probable that an emulsion
could be formed which would give an image
of a hot black kettle in a dark chamber. The
element of time, however, would probably be
an important one.
Indeed we are often presented with evi
dences of the picture making facility of heat
rays. A fern leaf upon ice is Boon represent
ed by the difference of molecular action. A
stationary carriage wheel standing in the
sun upon the frozen ground is found to have
left its photograph upon the ground when it
moves ca. Professor John Trowbridge in
