Plausible observation-disclosures Re,
ligious Traditions OF the Deluge


Nobody can walk through the silent
streets of the ruined cities of the Toltecs
at San Juan and other places, or even
look upon the great images of their god,
which the Aztecs left in this city, with
out asking over and over again, 'sWhence
came tn ose old civilizations ?" The
problem as it once was, when 1t was
supposed that the torrid zone was the
cradle of the race and that Columbus
was the first discoverer Of this continent
Science teaches that the human race
probably originated at the poles Of the
earth, which were the earliest portions
OF the planet to become cool enough to
support life; that the uniform migration
is forever toward the equator, and that
along that belt, when all the rest of the
earth has become frozen up, the last of
our kind will finally perish. From the
original birthplace the Mexicans may
have come southwark and fingered in
this cul de sac under the tropic of
Cancer.
But that they have been constantly
visited by people from across the sea, is
now obvious. Even if the Atlantis Of
Plato, Aristotle and Ignatius Donnelly
should be only brilliant and plausible
myth, the early Mexicans were by no
means lonesome. During this very gen
Grafton Chinese junk has been blown
across the Pacific as often as once in five
years, and stranded with shipwrecked
sailors on the coast Of California or
Oregon. II this were equally true in
the past. hundreds Of shipwrecked barks
must have landed on our Pacific coast,
manned by Oriental people, who con-
stantly modified the blood, the laws, the
language, the religion and the manners
Of the natives. When Cortez arrived
here he found that the Aztecs bowed
before the great Latin cross of granite,
ON the face Of which they had sculptured
the grotesque image of their god. The
same cross is now exhibited in the patee
of the museum here. They had record
Of the deluge, in which only
enc man and one woman survived,
Coxcox and his wife, both Aztecs

had similar tradition. Their Noah
was named Tezpi, and he escaped with
. boat filled with animals. He sent out
. humming bird, which returned with q
twig in its mouth. The building Of the
great pyramid Of Cholula, 100 miles
south Of this city, was abandoned be.
cause the Aztec's god sent fire and
thunderbolts upon 1t to punish them for
their blasphemy-so they say. In the
Aztec religion the goddess Croacoatl was
the frat to bear children, "and there
FORE" says the tradition, "by her came
sin into the world" The Aztecs prac.
ticed the rites Of confession and penapce.
and even held the important dogm& Of
the trinity and incarnation. For com.
munion, before the Spanish came, they
made wafer Of cornmeal mixed with
blood. which the people ate in sorrow
and humiliation, declaring il the flesh Of
the Deity. They baptized Infants, touch
ing them with water on the forehead
and lips, after an invocation. n.-Crcfnf'

Of note. writes o correspondent from
that city. Up to fifteen years OF age
they are kept at their studies, but are
deprived Of society. They dress very
simple, rarely wearing silk gown till
the day they leave the schoolroom for
the ballroom. After they leave school
they go through years or even two
years teaching in the pantry and in the
kitchen, under some member Of the
family. or even, In some cases. in another
family, under trained cooks. They may
never be required to cook dinner, but
they are thus rendered independent OF
cooks and servants, as they learn how
to do everything themselves long before
they begin housekeeping on their own
account. When married, they are most
adsctionate wives and mothers. An
Austrian lady, in fact, is as accomplished
and learned as an English governess, as
good housekseper and cook as Ger
man. - witty and vivacious as a Paris
ian, ~ passionate us an Italian, and as
handsome a. an Am.rican--some Of the
most beautiful women in Europe being
found in Vienna.
