The Attack of Father Ignatius on Rev.

A strange spirit OF unrest seems to have
taken possession of the religious world of
late. Eminent pastors are questioning the
inspiration of Holy Writ. denying the doc
trine of eternal punishment and casting
doubt upon the resurrection of Christ.
Professors of theology are giving the broad

sions are rife over foundational truths, and
a veritable battle of beliefs is in progress.
Foremost in the strife for the old faith
and customs is Father Ignatius, the Prot

The water pedd.ers here carry the water
about on their backs in immense Jars of red
pottery about four feet long and q foot in
diameter. and they tilt these over when they
want to serve customer. In Zaeatecxs I saw
soldiers guarding the only working fountain Of
the city and allowing only so many men and
women to dip up water out of it at
at time. and back Of these under

You see poems working this crude well
everywhere. and the sparkling water flows like

great wheat region. and I see cornstalks in
many of the fields. Maize is one of the great
crops of Mexico. 1t can be raised in every
part Of the country and it constitutes
product OF the lana. More than
500. coo, o0c worth of it is raised every year,
and il forms the food Of the common people,
who pound or grind it up and make it into the
thin, fat griddle-iike cakes known as tortiilas.
The corn is always sold IN a shelled state. and

HOW THEY GET wATER.
Up to the present time every Mexican city
have visited has been suffering for lack of
water. The greater part of the country north
of here on the line Of the Mexican Central
road is desert, and the big mining towns Of
Zacatecas and Guanahuato have hundreds of
men who make water peddling their pro-
fession. In Zucatecas the water. with
the exception of little stream that
flows into a big fountain in the plaza, comes
from spring away mp on the side of the
mountain. and i; is brought down on the backs
Of little donkeys in red clay jars These jars
are tied on by ropes. and the water man
peddles them from house to house as our dairy
men do their milk. In Guanahuato the people
are more enterprising, and they have a system
Of water works, which. however, by no means
supplies the demands OF the CITY,
