IdnU the food nf the Mexicans men-

mil tortilla * , supplemented by the
frull of Hie cactus when in season.
Tortillas are thin little enkes made
of corn boiled with lime , and these
servo as the chief food. Every house
has a nictate , a sort of stone trough ,
which rests on the ground , ami on
this the corn is crushed to a paste
and then patted into tlfln round cakes
and tossed on a clay griddle to cook.
Don'l think as yen ride down the
street that In every house a child Is
being spanked- Is only the palling
sound made by the women as they
deftly shape the tortillas In llielr
bands.
The lime In which tlio corn Is sof
tened is said lo account for Ihe very
strong white teeth of the natives.
Frijoles are , of course , beans and
after being boiled a long time with
onions , chill and other savory bits are
put into boiling lard for Ihelr final
tlnvor. Knives and forks are not need
ed where a lorllha can be folded in
the middle and used as a scoop for the
beans. These two articles of food
form almost the entire diet of the
poor.
