of obtaining a light was by the Under

sulphur match. If everything went
well. if the box could be found, and the

two minutes; but very often the time

was that fire or a burning lamp was

MEXICAN INDIANS.
The Lake village of the Descendants Of
the Aztecs.

The Lake village of the Descendants OF
the Aztecs.
Clustered in around the body of the
lake are numerous Indian villages,
some of them half in the water and
half out. There are villages and clus-
tiers of huts on the little islands far out
into the lake, and causeways lead here
and there from swamp to swamp, from
shore to shore and from village
to village. For miles, the country
in every direction seems to be half
water and half land. and it is difficult
to say Just where the lake begins and
the land ends. The inhabitants of
these water towns are mostly fisher
men and duck-hunters. They seldom
go out of their swamps, and have re-
tanned more of the characteristics of
the Aztec tribes, as the Spaniards found
them, than any other Indians of the
valley They still retain their aborig-
inal tongue, and many of them have no
knowledge whatever of Spanish. They
are shy of strangers, and look with
suspicion and dlstrust upon the trav-
eler who ventures into their haunts.
In habits and manner of living they
are as simple and rude as were their
forefathers centuries ago, and their
bare, comfortless huts suggest beaver
haunts and blackbirds' nests among the
tules. Notwithstanding all this, they
are as healthy and as happy as any
people have seen. In order to live it
is not necessary to work hard, and they
sing, drink pulque and skip about from
hut to hut in their little boats, as merry
as the mud-larks and as careless OF the
morrow.-C Chicago Interior.
