The new law for the regulation Of peddllng

The new law for the regulation of pedding
passed by the last legislature goes into effect
today. BY this law aliens are excluded from
the business Of reddling altogether.
To become peddler, except in
case of certain domestic products,
a citizen must prove that he is of
good moral character and must also pay
fee to the State. Sick or disabled soldiers
and sailorsare exempted. The purpose of
the law seems to be two-fold-to protect to
some extent the merchant and abate some
what the peddling nuisance. We are not
inclined to quarrel with the purpose of the
law, though some Of its provisions appear to
be absurd, but taking so much pains to pro-
tect the public against peddlers while steadi-
lyrefusing to protect them against that infn-
itely more dangerous nuisance, the quack
doctor, appears like straining out a gnat and
swallowing a camel.

MEXICAN PECUllARjT1ES.
some OF the Anttqnated Customs Prevail
Ing in our sister Republic.

Ing in our sistsr Republic.
The visitor from the United States
finds many things to wonder at in the
City OF Mexico. The most a%ntiunated
customs and the most modern improve.
mcnts are %curiously jumbled. Mr..
Curtis, in his Capitals o. Spanish
America cites many examples. The
correspondence Of tho government, he
says, is dictated to stenogrnphers and
transcribed upon type-wrltsrs, yet the
postal sorvice has ~romuinod unchanged
for half II century.
When mail arrives at the post-ofice
the nnlnc OF people to whom letters
are addressed are written on a slip OF
paper and posted on a bulletin board,
US lists OF u~ncallcd-for letters are in
the United States. A merchant or n
banker goes every morning to examine
this announcement, and if he finds his
name in the list. he hands his card to
the clerk at the delivery window, and
receives what is add ressad to him.
No postage stamps are sold, but
those who have letters to mail take
thorn to the post-ofice and pay the
postage to the Postmaster, who sticks
on the stamps, In all the public places
and at the entrance to the post-ofice
are men squatting upon the pavement.
with an ink-horn and a pad OF paper,
whose business it is to conduct tho
correspondence Of those whose l~itcrar,
attainments are unequal to the task.
Such odd things are sti1l to be seer
at the capital OF a nation that subsl
dies steamship lines and railways,
and supports schools VIII ,re all the
modern languages and sciences are
taught, and has a compulsory educa.
ton law on its statute books.
One OF the first things tllat strike 8
the tourist is that the men I'LL wear ex.
tremely large hats. and the women no
hats at all. The ordinary sombrerc
costs fifteen dollars. while the more
handsomely ornamented ones range in
price from twenty five to two hundred
and fifty dollars. The Mexican In.
vests all his surplus in his hat. A
servant at the house OF n friend OF
mine was paid off one day for the three
months his employer had been alb
sent. He got forty-two dollars, OF
which he paid thirty-fve dollars for a
hat, and gave seven dollars to his fam.
lily!
Every one lives over a shop. The
handsomest house in all Mexico has a
railway ticket-ofice on one side of the
entrance, and a cigar shop on the
other. And they all smoke, women as
well as They smoke in the
street-cars, in the shops, ut the opera,
everywhere. have often seer a man
upon his knees in a chapel muttcrinp
his prayers with a lighted cigai in his
hand.
From the top OF the cathedral spire
you a see the entire city, and the
most striking feature OF the view is
the absence Of chimneys. There is
not a chimney in all Mexico; not a
stove, o a CRATE, o a furnace. All
the cooking Is done with charcoal in
ovens, and, while the gSs Is
offensive, one soon becomes
used to II. Youths Companion.
