FLOWERS IN MEXICO,

Mexico is the greatest flower market In
the world. All the year round the gardens
bring forth brilliant blossoms, the fragile,
beautiful children of this tropic zone All
historians who write of the Mexicans as
Mexicans, speak of their love of flowers as
one of their principal characteristics Nor
is this trait diminished in the present gener-
alton. From the days before the cruel Con-
quest, all through that merciless time, when
the Mexicans bore the heavy yoke under
their violent masters, the Spaniards, they
remained faithful to their love of flowers;
the passion is innate
During even the coolest days that are
known in this mild climate one may 90 to
market and find the simple Indians seated
on the sidewalks with their baskets of flow
ers. have seen them sitting thus closely
together for whole block, offering at al
most ridiculously low prices great bundles
OF roses, helotropes, violets, geranium,
heartsease, pinks, and, in short, almost num-
berlese vayieties. For twenty-five cents one
may nearly always buy large elegantly ar
ranged bouquet composed of " ~ 4 ex-
quisite flowers, the price of whic.. q New
York, would vary according to the season,
from $s to Is or SO. In the full flower
season one may often buy for nix and O
quarter cents az many flowers as can be dis.

LIFE IN NEW YORK CITY.

New York is no longer the city it was fifty
years ago. 1t has grown SO rapidly in extent.
in population and in wealth that all the con.
dition of life are changed. visit the pala
tial residences of former days, and 1 find
myself in the midst of towering warehouses,
or in the midst of German city, or sur
rounded by squalid tenement houses, swarm
ing with Irish Another turn, and am in a
Chinese quarter. If | would find the fash
ion and wealth of thu city must go far out
among the old market gardens and the more
distant pastures, which are covered now
with costly dwelling houses. Then, EGO, 900
sterling was a great fortune; now, New
York boasts of citizen who is worth ego.
600 900 sterling. There are Others who are
almost as rich. They are railway kings, or
men who have grown rich by the sndden
and enormous rise in the value of real es-
tate, and socialism, imported from Europe,
having no kings here to attack, has found a
name for these men, and threatens them as
monopolists." The palaces of the Fifth
Avenue laugh at the faint echoes which
reach them from the halls near the Bowery.
where socialist clubs discuss the right of la
Dor, and openly advocate the assassination of
monopolists; but no one can seriously study
life in New York without finding himself
confronted, first of all, with this problem of
the relations of wealth aud poverty. New
York has not grown rich so much through
the skill and energy of her citizens as

The rise in the value of real estate or to for

been q slow growth. 1t has come suddenly.
The poorest man in New York who can
read a penny paper is familiar with the slang
of Wall Street. He knows that he is cutting
stone or carrying mortar for palace which

a corner" He does not need to go far to be
told that this does not mean money earned,
but money stolen from the laboring classes.
He believes it, And even this does moi
touch him so directly as the fact that he
pays an exorbitant rent to another monopo.

If this were all of New York society, this
article would never have been written
There are rich men whom wealth has no
corrupted, and poor men whom poverty has
not embittered. This does not need to be
said. 1t be said of every city. But there
are probably few cities in the world where
a choicer society can be found than in New
York, and there are few, if any, where there

find it among the rich and the poor 1t il
