found neither chairs. tables nor he'd
steads. On the floors were sometimes
spread twosar three sheepskins. very
coarse Navajo blanket or piece of hand
woven rag carpets. The members of the
family generally arranged themselves
about the room in squatting position,
sitting on the calves of their legs, with
their backs leaning against the wall, and
all smoking cigarettes. This is the IA
vor1te position of Mexican when at rest,
even though he has no wall or tree to
lean his buck against and to steady him.
l. have passed them out in the country
when camped for dinner, sitting around
on their launches like SO many iack-rab-
bits just on the point of jumping mp and
scamperlng away. During the day the
colchons, or mattresses, are folded and
laid III corner and the blankets and 9th
er bedding neatly arranged upon them.
A few cooking utensils complete the
stock of furniture.
The cooking is mostly done in an oven
which stands IN front of the house by
the side OF the door. This is made of
adobe, plastered over with mud ON the
outside, is about two feet high and
shaped Like beehive. At the bottom,
on one side, there is small door, eight
or ten inches square, by which the oven
is fed with fuel, and ON the opposite side
near the top, small hole is made to al
low the smoke to escape The oven is
heated with wood, after which the Goals
are raked out, the food to be cooked is
placed inside, and the door and smoke
hole are closed up. Bread and meats
may be very nicely cooked in these
| Mexican ovens.

mestic life of the Mexicans without a

been III the houses of some Of the poorer
Mexicans, both In Santa Fe and in Mexi-
can villages which I have visited. I ate
several meals at Mexican saloon at the
Real de Dolores, and slept upon col
chons hired of the natives. Sometimes
there was an absence of almost the
necessities of life, but everywhere re-
markable cleanliness. / found about
their houses none of the disagreeabls
smells so common around the homes of
many OF our poorer Americans and
foreign-5orn population in the east
Probably the dryness of the atmosphere
partially accounts for this, but it does
not for the cleanliness and order that
prevail inside of their houses.

Adobe Architecture in New Mexico.

The following is an extract from a
Santa Fe letter from Il. L. White, in the
New York Tribune:
Adobe houses in northern and central
Colorado, and in those parts of Utah
which L have visited, are of a light vel
low OF cream color, are built with sloping
roofs, and have plenty of windows-in
short, they are constructed on the Amer
lean plan-and when carefully white
washed, as they generally are, look as
though they had been built for r civilized
people to live in. The adobes of New
Mexico are entirely different in appear
ance. The sJ1n-dried bricks of which
they are constructed are made of the
brownish-black soil of the prairie, mixed
up with water and straw cut into small
pieces, and when dried and laid up in the
walls are simply mud color Generally,
the outside OF the wall is plastered over
with mud about as thick as nlush. and
put on with the hand. It's color, like
that OF the bricks, is almost black, and
after it has been on short time it cracks
in the sun like the mud in the bottom of
a swamp. The houses are all one-story
high, and generally measure about seven
feet from foundation to top. The roofs
are perfectly fat, and are formed by lay
ing poles across the tops of the walls
and covering them over with foot OF
eighteen inches of mud Sometimes
the ends of the poles, where they pro-
iect beyond the side of the house. are
sawed off, but there are many houses in
the back streets of Santa Fee on which
this has not been done, and the roof
poles project in all lengths, from few
inches to two or three feet, giving to the
houses an untidy, neglected and unfin-
ished appearance. In some cases wooden
spouts are placed In the mud roofs of
the houses, and project over the walls
foot or eighteen inches, These conduct
off some of the water which collects on
the roofs during rains.
Except about the piazza, and in
two or three short streets which are in
habited by Americans and very wealthy
Mexicans, the houses stand close up to
the roadway, which is just about wide
enough to drive buggy through. bnt
not wide enough to turn carriage
around in, with no front yards or side
walks intervening. The houses of the
poorest classes in the city are often not
more than ten or twelvefea square. con-
tanning only a single room, and have a
door and one or perhaps two, small win
dows, destitute of glass, in front. The
floors are of mud, as hard and smooth as
though made of cement, and very little
furniture is used. have been into the

GIVE THANKS.

We fill storchouses, garner golden grain,
Pile mp earth's fairest fruits in barn and biz.
And when the latest load is stored away,
Give thanks to Him who sends the sun and rain:
To Him who sees the plant, the seed within
And watches its increasing FROM the day
When first, with gentle might it cleaves in twain
The kindly earth that round about it lay,
Until the autumn, when we gather in
A goodly harvest, all the seasons gain.
Alb :! this our grave omission, this our sin.
That after harvest only, thanks we pay;
For did we praise him for our daily living,
This life were then perpetual Thanksgiving.

SOME Galveston boys were impressed
by reading OF the martyrdom of saints
by death at the stake, and they decided
to burn pet dog in the same manner.
The leader in the movement had theo-
ry that the poor brute's sufferings would
result in immortal joy, and SO be good
thing for it. A post was driven into the
ground, the dog chained fast, and a roar
ing fire built. The boys sang hymns
while their victim was roasting to death.

WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER IT, 1880.
A THANKSGIVING.

For the wealth of painless forests,
Wherein no AK may fall,
For the winds that haunt the branches.
The bindings timid call:
For the red leaves dropped like ruhies
Upon the dark green sod
For the waving of the forests,
thank Thee, oh my God!
For the sound of waters, gushing
In bubbling beads of light;
For the fleets of snow-white lilies
Firm anchored out of sight;
For the reeds among the eddies-
The crystal on tie clod:
For the flowing OF the rivers,
thank Thee, oh my Godi
For the buds that throng to gladden.
The toiler's plodding way;
For the bursting of fresh roses
With every newborn day;
For the bare twigs that in summer
Bloom like the prophets rod,
For the blossoming of flowers,
thank thee. oh my God!
Eor the lifting up of mountains
In brightness and in dread:
For the peaks where snow and sunshine
Alone have dared to tread;
For the dark of silent gorges
Whence giant cedars nod;
For the majesty of mountains,
thank Thee, oh my God,
For the splendor of the sunsets
Vast mirrored on the sea;
For the gold fringed clouds, that curtains
OF Heavens blue windows be;
For the burning bars of twilight
Where thought leans, GID, YET swed;
For the glory of the sunset,
thank Thee, OH my God.
For the earth and ali it's beauty
The sky with all its light:
For the dim and soothing shadows
That rest the dazZled sight;
For unfading fields and prairies,
Where sense in vain has trod,
For the worlds exhaustless beauty,
thank Thee, oh my God!
For an eye of inward seeing
A soul TO know and love;
For these common aspirations
Which our high heirship prove;
For the hearts that bless each other
Beneath thy smile, thy rod:
For the amaranth. saved from Eden.
thank Thee. oh my Godl
For the hidden scroll. o'erwritten
With one dear name adored;
For the Heavenly in the human
The spirit in the world;
For the tokens of Thy presence
Within above, abroad;
For Thine own great gift of Being.
thank Thee, oh my God!
