Mexico Letter in the Chicago Inter-ocean
The first odd thing that strikes visitor to
Mexico is that every block has different name
They do not take the streets entire, but each
block is numbered and named by itself; and it
is often the case that there are several blocks of
the same name in different parts of the CITY.

wilders the stranger more than one can inn CINE
had a friend who lives at No IL San Francisco
street. | went to four streets or blocks OF that
name before | found him at San Francisco
Puente (bridge).
The names OF the streets here strike one with
sort OF awe. too. for they were christened in
the days of religious fanaticism. Think of lv-
ing on Jesus street Imagine yourself telling
hackman to drive to No. Blood of Christ
street. Or ordering a baggageman to take your
trunk to No. 6 Holy Ghost street. 1t does not
sound so much like basphemy to speak these
names or hear them spoken in Spanish; but
even then. to be told that one lives over
saloon on the street Of the Love Of God (Calle
Amor de Deas) makes reverent soul shudder
little. Here are some OF the other peculiar
names:
Crown OF Thorns street
Fifth of May street (the Mexican Fourth Of
July.)
Body of Christ street (Calle de Corpus

Mother of Sorrows street.
Street OF the Sacred Heart.
The Heart of Jesus street

John the Baptist street
Street of IlIustrious Men.
Street of Refuge.

There are Others quite as striking tor all the
saints have blocks chrStened in their honor and
no event of religious history is without some
aliusion in the nomenclature of the municipal
geography.

Cleveland As a Card PLAYER.

Mr.. Earl ID. Berry gives me this New Years
remembrance, writes a New York World gos-
sper: Five years ago tonight sat in the City
club Of Buffalo and played cards with three
other gentlemen till an hour at which many
people eat their breakfast. was then an alder
man of that city. One Of the other gentlemen
was constituent OF mine. a lawyer. His name
was Grover Cleveland. Any suggestion across
that table that one of the party in five years
would be President-elect would have been
greeted with laughter What changes few
years makei Grover Cleveland is now Presi-
dent. and / am simply one of nearly 5000. coo
voters who made him President. What Cleye-
land play cards ali night? O. yes: but remem-
Der his remark that he was thus passing the
night SO as to be sure to catch the early morn
ing train that would carry him on a visit to his
mother"

Advice to Doctors.

From the London Truth.
The Harrison divorce case has moved the Ian
oct to take up its parable on the relation of med
ical men to their female patients. / hope the
faculty will take heed to the warnings of their
mentor. The Lancet would prohibit personal or
social intimacy. and it declares that mo famil-
iarty whatever. of any kind or degree, ought to
exist" There should be no gossiping less
Misunderstanding. more formality and consider

On the whole. the leading medical organ pretty
plainly intinates that the doctors are consider
ably in fault. and ought at once to mend their
ways. At present lady's doctor is much like
