ODD FACTS FROM MEXICO.
When you hire a servant Ia Mexico
1t is expected that his or her entire
family will reside with you. The
husband OF your cook may be a
shoemaker, or a lackman, or n sa-
loon keeper, but when his days
duty is done he goes to the house
where his wife is living, sleeps
there, aud takes his meals ut your
table; and the same rule applies to
children. You may hire u cham
bermaid, and board her husband
and eleven children. There is no
alternatives; no evasion of the GUS

servants. They are respectful,

obey instructions implicitly. Like,
the Chinese, they learn by imita-
tion, and seldom need more than
one lesson, doing the same thing
over and over in the same way un-.
