Every hacienda, whether rich or poor,
has its own church OF more OF less magnifi-
cence, which, to the curiosity hunting tour
ist, is o perfect treasure trove of charming
ugliness. Each private sanctuary pos
sesses its own "Holy Family" and as many
saints as the good cathedral in the City of
Mexico; while candles are constantly burn
ing upon its altar, which is piled. with vo-
tive offerings of fruit and grain-for every
peon is devotedly pious aud superstitious to
a degree. In those exceptional instances,
where the millionaire owners live upon the
estates their immediate families are some
times numbered by scores This is par

men to provide for all Jh"ir destitute female
relatives, aud to shield them aud their OIL

When a Mexican lady is widowed, fam

as a matter of course Though the widow
and her grownup daughters may be &C
complished well as poor, nobody dreams
of the possibility of their doing any thing
| toward supporting themselves, and the prof
fered aid is calmly accepted as an hereditary
right Even if the widowed mother is
healthy she can by no means be independ
ent. Custom, which here rules with iron
hand, prescribes that the entire superin-

OF her children shall be delegated to her
male kindred, and unless she Is really an
aged woman she must reside with her rela-

SO thoroughly are Mexican gentlemen
iinbued with this idea OF womanly depend

any number of bereavel families an un

surplus cattle off the ranch, and many

A "Near" Yankee.

Probably the most economical man
in Essex county resides in West Lynn.
He is q hard worker, and three crack
ers and u halt-pint of milk and water
are a banquet for him. He occupies
his leisure time in quartcring matches,
and a quarter gross goes Il long way in
his house. For the benefit Of those
who cannot understand how to divide
a match in four parts, the following
plan is given: ''Have q thin-bladed
penknife; Ivy the match on q smooth
surface, red end pointed toward you;
split the match by pressing down upon
it with the knife, being careful not to
cut across the grain" Long practice
has made this fellow so skillful that he
rarely fails to make one match do the
work of four. Once in a while his wife
musters up courage to appropriate q
chicken from their flock and bake it
for dinner. Upon his return home
this man, who is so ''minking," as
some of the neiglbors put it. used to
open the oven door, take u good long
smell Of the fumes arising from the
roasting chicken, drink u glass of milk
and go back to work, declaring that he
had had "a feast fit for Il king" This
man had u son and one daughter. The
son died, leaving about 81, 900 to the
girl. who was but IL child. 1t is said
by the neighbors that he actually
charged his own daughter for board
until the $1,000 had found its way to
his bank account Boston Post.
