A Country whsre Cold and ChiilIness
Are Absolute Strangers.
atlantic Monthly.l
Arriving at Cuautla, we found an excel.
lent hotel, the San Diego, directly across the
plaza from the railway station. The land.
lord was German, and had been in the
country about thirty years The hotel was
. one-story structure, built around large
court, the rooms opening upon tile-roofed
veranda. In ths court was tall date-palm,
with sprays Of rich, orange-hued blossoms
rising among its graceful plumes Of dark
green.
/ hardly expected to meet In an obscure
Mexican town a party Of American tourists
passing the time in placid ease, just as they
might be encountered at o nice Swiss inn In
some Alpine valley. Yet we encountered at
the San Diego a most delightful company oi
our compatriots One, an eminent artist,
who was something Of an invalid, was en-
thusiastic over the delicious air and glorious
scenery Of the place. Those winter days In
Cuautla were all like our ideal June weather
at home, he said. There was no intense
heat, while cold and chilliness were absolute
strangers. Mexico hs regarded as superior
to Florida as q winter refuge. In these
warm lands beside the endless scenic va
riety, there was an unchanging climate all
through the winter; at least on the Pacific
side Of the mountains. On the gulf slope, as
at Orisaba, there were occasional fogs, rain,
and raw northers.
"And then there are no mosquitoes here"
taid another friend. u have never seen q
land so free from them. The few insects one
meets here are really contemptible; feel in
clined to pity them for their feeblsness."
It is, indeed, great mistake for people to
come to Mexico from the north in the win.
ter and conflns themselves to the capital.
They experience the chilly weather which
now and then visits the high regions Of the
central tableland at that season, and with
the abrupt transitions Of cold and heat from
morning to noon and night they at times
feel more discomfort than in their wintry
northern homes where genial hearth-fires

ing to which might fill many weeks with &
round Of health-giving pleasure, novel
scenes greeting the eye everywhere. There
is much Of the greatest interest to tourists
to be seen in and around the capital, but
there are pleasanter winter abiding places
near by. 1t is however, good central
point from which to make agreeable tours
all over the country. Now that railway
communication with the United States is
completed, there will te many pleasure
travellers to Mexico. When they come,
they should remember that there ara rich,
warm valleys, down below, close at hand,
where simple existence seems q luxury,
amid the delicious airs Of genuine tropical
surroundings.

The question as to whether Mr.. Pearson,

tanned in his position, which has been the sub

An anglers journal is publishing a series Of
letters to prove that brook trout weighing
"a pounds was caught in Maine in 1S49
There is nothing very remarkable about it.
As trout generally increases in weight at
the rate of one pound an hour after being
taken from the water by an angler, the
Maine fish of 1S49 should now weigh about
300, 900 pounds.

being stockhoider in corporation. AS rule,
each branch Of congress prohibits members from

that members who are stockholders in banks or
