MAIDENS OF YUCATAN.
FAMOUS FOR THEIR BEAUTY OF
FORM AND FEATURES.

lty.
Ii meZtiZa women OF hat most inter
esting country are famed for their beauty
OF form and features, abundant silky
black ~tresses, large dark eyes and easy,
graceful manners. Generally they are
as good as they are pretty; but their lot
is seldom a happy one; perhaps they are
too numerous to be Justly appreciated.
b n in eight enters the state Of
matrimony, and these appear to be the
least happy. Owing to q great excess of
female population-the consequence of
many revolutions and wal with hostile
lndians-a large number of women de-
pend entirely on their own exertions, and
their field of labor is limited. They are
not employed in stores, such places being
monopolized by white handed youths
who think coarser toll beneath them.
Those individuals Of tho sterner sex ex-
pect the gentler, under all circumstances,
to remain at home, no matter how pain
full their position. Orphans must eat the
bread of dependence in the house of re-
lations or friends, and on no account
shock public opinion by trying to earn a
living away from their place of abode,
o may they venture to dwell apart
from elders who shall control their every
movement. They may suffer everything
except actual starvation, yet must sub
init il they would be respected.
4 few are wonderfully clever Mt max
ing most beautiful fruits and flowersrof
sugar, but cannot earn n living by 1t, the
time aud care needed in the manufacture
entailing $ much expense that only the
wealthiest give an order on very special
occasions. Nothing truer TO nature than
these vegetables, fruits and flowers of
sugar can be imagined. A pineapple, an
ear of corn, n golden kashew, with its
odd shaped appendage, n spray of snow
white tubcroses-all equally perfect in
form and color; while large, full blown
roses, crimson, pink, and yellow, appear
Us if the frail leaves will fall from the
stem if breathed upon. Only the taste
c%onvinces US that they are not what they
SEEM; and the lavors given to them by
rheir skillful producers are as delicious as
the work is admirable.

The making OF cigarettes affords en-
ployment to hundreds of girls, because
men, women and children there indulge
in the use of tobacco. In city, town and
village pretty senoritas sit behind the
prison like window gratings deity wrap
ping up tobacco in small pieces of the
outer covering of maize, which, when
toasted, imparts a delightful flavor to
the cigarette. Twenty cents n day is the
most that one pair of hands can earn.
Dressmakers arc numerous. Others
anxiously solicit orders TO cmbroider In
silk, thread or worsted. Pillow lace was
formerly mn5Ifac' ted Ia Merida, but
being eEpcisIys, tnero was no demand
70" tie article. Less costly laces are
largely used. No meztiza's holiday
dress is complete without ample lounces
of 1t; this converts their simple white
linen garments into expensive attire.
Cheap lace is imported, but all who can,
prefer to wear that made in the country,
it being handsome as well as more dura-
bic. This is not sold in the stores but in
h public market place, where 1t is car
ried by servants; for, strange rs it may
appear, the most poverty stricken have
maids, who, besides receiving no wages,
frequently help to support their mis-
tresses. Generally they have been given
to the family, when children, by their
parents-too poor to provide for them.
They work bard for little food and scanty
clothing, are very faithful, and will bear
hardship and ill treatment rather than
leave those to whom they have become
attached.
Being directed to a family of girls who
supported themselves, we made our way
along a broken narrow sidewalk to house
No. 4 in n row of dwellings, each con-
sisting of three rooms, and an clubhouse
that served as kitchen. We raped with
our %knuckles, and a sweet voice bade US
come in" Pushing open the door, we
found ourselves in u room containing a
small table and three low seats, occupied
by young women, whose appearance in
dicated that they seldom enjoyed u hearty
meal.

same time he and Mr.. Bayard, his
Secretary Of State were secretly
working at u treaty with Great Brit
ain on the Canadian fishery and so
forth question. The treaty that they
planned was rejected by the Senate
10 days ago, and then the President |
appear ed in q message to Congress
last week in which he drops all trea
ty proposals and asks Congress to
give him the power TO stop all trade
Intercourse with Canada. Congress
In the spring OF 1887 passed a bill
empowering the President to sus
pend intercourse with Canada in the
case Of the continuance CT their treat
ment of American fishermen, so the
President is not in need of Congress /
sional retaliatory enactments. Pos
siby the best thing for Congress to .
do would be to give him precisely :,
the enactment he asks for. 1t would
show up his humbuggery. But of ;,
what account Is a Congressional en-
to Mr.. Cleveland, wher he %
,an wave aside the constitution and a
thereby refuse to inform Congress
and the country of foreign troubles.
He is so capable of committing in u
consistent acts that he might go SO
lar as to believe that he has the pow
er to declare war against Canada, . :,
which Is not what the country de- ir
sires. War would result IN the nc Al
QUESTION of Canada, but the country
desires the trouble settled without e
war.

trust is business ring to manage
IA business it may be ring to man
age whiskey, or molasses, sugar, cof-

dangerous rings to the financial well
being of men who run a business in
which trust or business ring takes

a thousand times worse, for they wreck
