But the most important preliminary Of all is
the necessity of acquiring some knowledge of
the Spanish tongue. If you have ever studied
it at college get out your books and polish your
rusty knowledge. 1t will aid you vastly to do
this. despite what may be said about the Ian
guage not being learnt from grammars or die
tionaries. OF course 1t isn't; but the assistance
they give to intelligent people affords them an
immense advantage over those who acquire it

tionary, verb book and the "A. b. c. Phrase
Book" published in Mexico. are good combi-
nation. The last little book has the advantage
of dealing in Mexican Spansh-which often
differs in meaning and pronunciation from the
old Castilian.
Read up also, if rusty, your volumes Of Pres
colts Fictions on the Conquest; scan your His
tory of the Mexican War and know a little
something of the events of the French Inter
vention." and you are armed cap-a-pie with ali
the knowledge necessary to make you an intel

The Best Things to Drink.

Physician in Philadelphia Press.
If man must drink, the best thing he can
take with his meals is a little claret or light
Rhine wine, and if he wants something a little
stronger pure Scotch whisky is the best thing
he can have. The habit of taking q drink early
in the morning-I mean by drink a cocktail or
stimulant of that kind commonly called an eye
opener-is one of the wort things that can
possibly be done. The effect of alcohol is to
infiame the stomach, and it will do this even
when diluted with food or anything else. and
will do so great deal more when taken on an
empty stomach early in the morning Men
should not maintain their strength throughout
the day BY taking stimulants. To keep up
by means alcohol Is very bad, and by and by
the system will break down entirely under it,
The best drink that man can possibly take is
milk, Milk, though, is hardly drink. One
can live longer on it than on any one thing
Milk Is more nearly . perfect food than any
thing; it contains more elements that 60 to build
up the system than any other article. Early in
the morning the best drink to take is water
That is If one must drink; but il he can get
along without drinking 80 much the better
Some drink hot water, some cold and some hot
and cold milk. All of these are good in their
way. Tea and coffee drunk in moderation will
not hurt anybody, although they are both
stimulants.

In the Alameda the old eucalyptus trees. the
fountains, the deer park. the avia-y and the
handsome iron building of the Mexican lottery
company, combine to make a very charming
oasis amid the low stone buildings of the city.
Nurse maids and children predominant. The
The latter in laughing, rOmping crowds may be
seen in the very early morning riding the dom
KEYS and tricycles and the wooden bulls and
horses of the merry-go-rOunds. Music of some
sort always form lively accompaniment to the
scene.
PLAZAs AND BANDS.
Besides the Alameda there are numerous
other plazas, the largest Of which is the Tocolo.
pretty spot between the market and the great
cathedral. In this crowds of poems and good
military music may be found every pleasant
afternoon. 1t may be remarked that nearly
every town in Mexico of considerable size has
Its plaza and band, and Mexican bands are usu-
allv good. too. 1t will be remembered that the
Mexican band" proper-that is. the official
band of the capital-was voted at the Paris ex-
position the finest military band in the world.
THE Poems.
Speaking of the peon. think to most travel
lers in Mexico one of the most astonishing
things must be the apparent difference between
accounts read of his laziness and shiftlessness
and what one really sees OF him in the city or
country. / should say. from several months
observation of them, that the average peOn far
exceeds our best negro workers of the south in
ind Istry and energy. On the streets you much
oftener see them on a brisk walk. or. as in the
case of the cargadOres, even on trot. than at
the slOuching gait o: most of our southern
colored laborers. The peon is more ignorant
than the latter. due to his isolation from higher
civilization. but / would unhesitatingly say
that his natural intelligence is greater. He
works for smaller wages than the negro, get
ting on an average about lSc. day in the
country. He is frugal-as a rule little fonder
of his pulque or tequila than the negro is of
his whisky. but also, as a rule, faithful and
good-natured.

AN EMBROIDERED RUG.
Back of the divan on the wall fastened q
rug. both as background to the pillows and as

dull blue ingram carpeting with q slight en-
broidery on each end of old ink and cream
color in Smyrna woods. The pattern / drew

Jspanesque-leahess branches with numerous
blossous-very quick and effective work. The
ends OF the rug were hemmed first, the hem
then cut in half and raveled, thus making Q
double fringe. This is fastened with few
large brass headed nails. Above il on the wall
is hung bracket lamp for convenience In
reading, with q deep fall Of cream lace as a
shade over the globe. There are two windows
In the room, both treated quite simply. The
sash curtains are Of the cream white tamboured
muslin, which now comes for the purpose, and
are not tied back.
THE OUTER CURTAINS
are OF denim, edged with cream lace like the
bed hangings, and are tied back with dull blue
ribbons. The rods are of brass On the floor

Columbia's Choice.


There's murmur and stir in the garden bed,
A contest troubles that peaceful nook;
Pink and white and yellow and red
Shake their bright heads with an anxious look
Who shall win in the coming choice.
Who be borne on the nations shield?
Who will come at Columbias voice
From mountain or brook side, from valley OF
field!
Whom will she place in her girdle strong
When she gathers her children for fun or fray7
Who will bloom in the festai throng,
Wreathing her banners with bud and spray7
Fair Arbutus, as shy as sweet.
Shivers 10 think of the surging crowd;
But sturdy Daisy would fain compete
And the gaudy Sunfiower laughs aloud
The mountain Ash, unawed by storms;
The Violet shrinking beneath her shade
The Water Lily, whose vestal charms
Would shame a nation for strife arrayed
Many and fair are the buds and blooms
That national honors 50 warmly crave;
Among the proudest the sunny plumes
of the Golden Rod serenely wave
"Peace, rash blossoms" Columbia cries,
''Nor like humanity waste your powers.
Shall We for an emblem spoil our eyes
When all the flowers On earth are ours,
1.-THE Lily Of France and the English Rose,
The Shamrock, the Thistle Chat strange device.
The German Corn Flower and, from the SHOWS,
The Switzer's Alpine Edelweiss.
"Bnd them up, with a score beside,
And mingle sprigs of the Northern Pine.
Who dares question my honest pride
In this bright cluster and all are mine!
Quarrel who will for a single flower,
No lance break in a needless fray:
The sweets of earth are Columbia's dover.
She wears on her bosom the whole bouquet"
M. A. MCMAKIN.

standing forbiddingly among signs to keep off
the grass" as in our so-called pleasure grounds
at home. Instead We find, as in the Champs
Elysees Of Paris. a park for real comfort and
enjoyment-a park where music and fresh air
and cool shade tempt every wayfarer. from the
pleasure-seeking traveller to the weary peon,
who, with burden beside him, sits as content
eddy on his stone bench ~ does the general,
officer or legislator on the other end. And it
need not necessarily be upon the other end
either. for. while the condition of the peon Of
the large country estates Is really like that of
our former slaves. yet in the cities there reigns
q democracy much like that of tine early days
of the French republic, and peop and gentle
man may rub coat sleeves in any public place.

1t will be well, before leaving the states for a
visit of pleasure to the republic of Mexico, to
read up one or two of the works referred to in
the first paper of this series-i. e.. one of the
books of Rice-Bulkley, Griffin. Bishop. Brock
lehurst. or Nellie Bly,; but it must be remem-
bered that none OF these writers spent more
than very short time in Mexico and that all
OF their impressions and statistics are not
strictly accurate. Mr.. Buckley Griffin wrote
his book on Mexico after a months stay am
told. and very intelligent book it is, even
with its errors. Mr.. Bishop. an equally close
and more humorous observer, makes mistakes
equally great. The so-called Civil Code"
which he discovers. for instance, is not the
civil code at all. but THE law affecting the
relations of foreigners" and it appears in his
book after many of its clauses have been re-
pealed. In another place he speaks of the
quaint humor of a Mexican colonel with whom
he travelled. and who would always ask for a
couple of eggs as ''dos blanquillos." Mr..
Bishop seem to think this original humor on
the part of the colonel and saws his phrase can
only be translated as two little white 'uns.
The colonel was not humorous; 'blanquillos"
Is the word for eggs among nearly all the In
dams of the western coast. Local differences
of speech like this are numerous, the word
turkey" for example. being translated by
four different words in four different parts of
the republic.
Nellie Bly," makes more errors still. Her
explanation of the word "gringo"-a familiar
native designation for the American-is absurd.
Instead of attributing its origin properly to the
green coats of Kentucky regiment sta
toned in Mexico during the war of '46-47 she
says it came from the popularity of the song,
Green Grow the Rushes, o" in the American
camps.
Mr.. Brocklehurst is worse than this, for he
knowingly deceives the innocent reader Look
at his picture of Mexico, with Popocatapetl
towering to giant height above it, and then
look on the actual scene and see the discrep-
ancy. Bishop says that Brocklehurst laugh
ingly confessed to him while sketching in the
mountain that he was not considering nature
