AT.nloo to Work of Ao , . &lrt.
The'pe < ) n , or peasant , ot Mexico , Is
probably the 1nz1Cft mortal under the
8un. lIe cldom lellve hili home nnd
only under tbe moot extraordinary ell' .
cumstances cnn he be Induced to per.
term any labor. It 18 very dll11cult to
Induce one to go to a llllrt of the repUblic -
pUblic where labor Is carce and wages
double that of hl8 own district. l..argo
contllctors have theretore re orted to
an expedient to 8ccure labor. They
otten go and engnge a whole village ot
pcu.gantry trom the Interior and move
them all , men , women and children. to
the Hcene of their laborn. The wealthy
ranchman bas otten to resort to this
expedient to secure laborers to work
his land or attend to his cattle. It'or
this same ren on c"ery mnch ot Inrge
dimensions In Mexico has severnlsmall
v1llagcs upon It which consist' wholly
ot people and their tamUles employed
upon the ranch. .
As the Mexican peasant Is carelells
nbout money matters , 80 he Is cn.relells
about everytblng h doCfl. Yery rar ly
hll8 he an'y Interest In his work , IUld 110
It III usually very badly done. Ho can.
not uuderstand why anyone should
want to burry or to do more 11um ho
a.ctualfy has to do. It ; you leave him
alone and expect blm to work In your
absence there arc ninety-nine chances
out of 100 that you wtU be mistaken.
In all probabIlIty he will 81t down aud
paUently walt tor your rcturn and
smoke the IneYItable cigar to pass
away the time.
As the } XRsllnt Is with his work , 110
he Is with his family and bls home.
In most CMC though he loves them In
'hls own way , he takes no thought of
them. The wIte has theretore to exert
herselt to make both ends meet and
she genemlly docs.
A Ourloslty or the Simpion Tunnel.

tunnel that rnn ! ! througb the great
Simplon Mountain to connect SwItJer-

water comes trom the top of the mountain -
tain and Is heated almost to boUlng

Ita percolation through the llmestone I
