Street Cars In the City of MEXICO


While the principal cities of this coun-
try are no doubt very favorable places
for street railway investors, yet in pro-
portion to their number and wealth the
people of the City of Mexico contribute
more, perhaps, to tho support of their
horse cars than those of any other city.
Nobody seems to walk there who can
scrape together enough to ride. Mules
are the motive power, and these thin
beasts gallop along at a reckless pace
under constant flashing from their driver.
There are first, second and third class
cars, which vary in price from real
about 10 cents) down to 2 cents. The
first class coaches are about as comfort
able as the Broadway cars of New York.
The second class cars have small win
dows near the roof without glass,
bench running lengthwise along either
wall, and another without back down
the center. Third class cars carry freight
and Indians indiscrininately One road,
which extends far out of the city to the
principal cemetery, runs funeral cars
draped in mourning, and does big bus
mess in funerals.
AS all the lines meet at the principal
square of the city, the mourning coaches
can be switched off to any part of the
town. At the cemetery they are side
tracked to await the return of tho fune-
raj party,-Street Railway Journal.

The following copy of composition
of u New Zealand boy on the subject of
"What Do You Know About an Os.
trich?" was received by lady in this
city from friend in England who takes
an active part in missionary work:
THE ostrich is an African animal that
lives ON sand and generally hunts on
horseback. The female makes nest in
the sand, which is simply deep hole,
and then the male lays in it ten or
twelve eggs, which he matches, for max
ing ornaments and for food for his fam
lily. These eggs chase their parent all
over the desert till ho is quite tired, poor
fellow!
1.-The three tail feathers of this ostrich
form the motto serve and they belong
to the Prince of Wales, who is also fond
of these tail feathers. This ostrich is
often used for drinking cups and other
various amusements, but it is chiefly
valued for the beautiful feathers, which
are found on his legs-and those that
grow on the egg shell. '-Pittsburg Dis

to cease witnessing contests a. the strain
