MEXICAN KITCHENS.
Spotless Cleanliness Prevails without
Modern Convenfences.

A Mexican kitchen differs radically
from our ordinary conception of that
useful apartment In the first place,
it contains no cooking stove nor even
a fireplace. Instead, on one side OF
the room a shelf is built into the wall
about breast high, on the center Of
which a small fire burns, built of
gnarled and knotty sticks, which
thrifty American housewives would
consider unfit for use. Occasionally
this method is varied by making a
charcoal fire in large earthen pot
and setting smaller cooking utensils
upon the Goals. So little baking is
done that many households dispense
with an oven entirely, but where one
is used it is built of mud either out OF
doors or at one end of the fireshelf.
Tortillas are the staff of life in Mex
leo and consist simply of crushed corn
which has been previously boiled in
weak lye, rolled into balls. Dish
| washing in Mexican kitchen is COP
| Quoted on novel plan. There is no
soap, no dishcloth, and no wiping
towel. much less a table provided with
a dishpan and draining rack. The
ulSnWaSDer seats n0lSeif COmlOrldDlN V
on the floor with pail of water beside
her and some sliced amole root, which
makes excellent suds, and in place of
a dishcloth she uses tiny, stiE whisk
broom. Dish wipin1 is unknown. The
dishes are simply turned up against
the wall to dry, and somehow or other
/ they always come to the table clean
and shining. The spoons and knives
/ of brass and steel are as bright as the
traditional dollar, though no brick
dust or patent silver polish is applied
! to them; nothing but common Mexi-
can dirt, dug up in the door yard.
an short" says a recent visitor to
| this foreign country almost in our
midst, "everything . kept as bright
and fresh as hands can make it, even
to the cooking pottery, which is of ne.
cessity smoked black whenever used.
If we could com bine their innate neat.
ness with our improved methods the
result would be that cleanliness which
we are told is next to godliness."

very little of the country remained
when he got through.
There is New Jersey, but have been
there.
But we have Brooklyn, where a
good many people live, and its vast
outlying region of cemeteries, which
many Of the Judicious seem to have
preferred.
Connecticut has certain attractions
and very superior quality of malaria.

People who live in such a CITY as
Bostop-which has such charming
suburbs that one fails to understand
why it has not long ago been entirely
deserted in their fayor-do not realize
the difficulties under which we labor
here.
However. Maude found place on
the south shore of Long Island. 1t is
called Quahog. Her friends, the
Browns, went there last year and they

ought to be covered in that time,

Ten miles out of town ii began to be
hot. As we neared Brooklyn the en-
gineer put out the fire in his engins
and ran her the rest of the wSy by the
sun on the boiler.
There were seyenty-tive people in my
car besides those that were sitting g
down. We connected with an elevated
railroad and then with three or four
other things, each one hotter than the
last, and eventually got to the Brook
lyn bridge, where we enjoyed a ride
over that magnificent structure and
also the pleasure of standing on one
anolher's toes while we did so.

The sea fog was waiting for me, but

known it in New York.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
MARRIAGE CUSTOMS.

At Roman marriages the wedding
ring was placed on the thumb.
Secret marriages are in every coun-
try in Europe considered illegal.
In Spain water in which wedding
ring has been dipped is good for sore
eyes.
In Java, as part of the marriage
ceremony, the bride washes the feet of
the groom.
In Servia and Bulgaria the groom
gives the bride tap with the heel of
her own shoe.
The Greek church employs two rings
in the marriage ceremony-one OF
gold. til other of silver.
The wedding ring has at one time or
another been worn on the thumb and
every finger.
Four rings were used in the mar
riage ceremony of Mary Stuart to the
unfortunate Darnley.
The use of the wedding ring is first
noted in Egypt when the ring was the
emblem of eternity.
Among the New Zealand natives the
most important part of the ceremony
is a terrific mock scuffle.
The crusades introduced a fashion
of holy cross rings, each containing a
fragment of the true cross.
Marriage by capture prevailed
among the Turcomans until very
recent date, and the form is still kept
up.
A hundred years ago, when the
bride had a fortune, the newspaper
stated that fact and gave also the
amount.
In Samoa the bride wears wreath
of flowers, dress of cocoa mating,
and has her face colored with turn
eric.
Among the Tartars a marriage is al
ways attended by sham fight be-
tween the friends of the groom and
bride.
In Morocco the face of the bride is
painted white and red and her hands
and feet are dyed yellow with henna.
When the hair of Roman bride was
dressed for the wedding it was always
parted with the point of a spear.
The Greek cities all kept matrimo-
nial rolls in the public offices, open tc
the inspection of any interested per-
son.
The wedding ring is worn on the
left hand because, in symbolism, the
right hand is authority, the left ODE.
dience.
Marriage in Spain takes place by
day or at night, according to the for
tune of the young people or their sta,
ton in life. If well. to do the cere-
mony comes off in the early part OF
the morning. The bride wears plain
black silk dress, with train, and lace
mantilla. The bridegroom wears 4
dress coat. At an early hour, before
the bridegroom arrives, the bride re-
pairs to the church with her mother
for confession. Meantime the bride.
groom also, accompanied with his
padrona, or best man, has gone to con.
fesSion at his own parish church. The
marriage ceremony thea takes place
in the presence of the relatives and
friends of the parties. The service in
a measure recalls that of the English
| church. There are two wedding
| rings-one for the bride and one fo,
her consort. When the man SAYS
with all my worldly goods | thee en-
dow" he pours sixteen coins into the
hands of the bride. This money is
called las aras, and the bride does
what she likes with it. King Alfonso
| gave splendid gold ounces" to each
of his wives, and these in turn gave
! them to the Door.

GIANT AMONG THE PLANETS.
Mighty Jupiter, Whose Diameter II
Eleven Times That of the Earth.

Our most eminent astronomers do
not pretend TO give us exact reckon
ings on the great floating worlds out
side of our own solar system, but with
in that monstrous aggregation every
thing has been reduced to certainty.
The kingpin of this solar system is
Jupiter, mighty Jupiter, the colossal
giant of all the sun-kissed worlds"
His diameter is about $4,000 of our
miles. being about eleven times that
of our own globe; the circumference
213, 200 miles at the equator, which
would give the giant volume exceed
ing that of the earth by 1,2Sl times.
Were it possible, says the St. Louis
Republic, to bring the earth and
Jupiter so close together that the dist
ance separating them would be no
greater than that which now separates
the earth from the moon-about 240,-
600 miles-what wondrous sight
woGld be in store for the residents of
our little globe The world of Jupiter
would appear to us to have a diane
ter forty times larger than that of our
usual mighty attendant, and the sur
face of his disk would occupy a space
greater than that of 1,600 full moons.
And this giant of planets is removed
from the sun by distance of 496, ,0O0,-
600 miles; has IN orbit of more than
1000, 100000 miles in extent, and
makes a circuit of its celestial track
once every 1882 days. Thus it will be
seen that year on Jupiter is equal to
eleven years ten months and seventeen
days on our globe. The immensity of
the world of Jupiter and its orbit may
be approximately measured by this
comparison: In order TO complete its
orbit in the time given above it must
speed around the sun with velocity
OF 700, 900 miles day, or a little more
than eight miles per second.

WASHINGTON, September 11.-Mr.
Kurino, the japanese Minister, talked
to an Associated Press reporter today
regarding the new treaty between
Japan and Korea. He said :
1--WE have nothing but the an
nouncement of the treaty, but my IN
ference from it's terms is that 1T Will
prove highly advantageous to Korea.
In Korea has existed, under Chlnese
auspices, the most corrupt system 0!
government known. The constant
intrigues of China have been threat
TO the peace of the East. The Japanese
Government has desired the settle
ment of this question only for the
peace of the East. 1t has been entirely
without expectation of territorial ag-
! crandizement or exercise of SuZeralnty
| over Korea. With the assurance of
autonomy to Korea, which is the de'
| sign of this treaty, there will be an
| opportunity for great improvements
! in her system of government, inter
national administration and other
affairs. Already she has advanced
| from the condition of the rule OF an
idividual Influenced by China, ana
has a Cabinet of six members and a
Prime Minister, to whom the ruler
| looks for advice and guidance. This
change was made under advice of the
Japanese representative at Seoul"
| Mr.. Kurino said he did not think
the step could be called step toward
a peaceful settlement with China, as
China was tenacious on sentimental
grounds of her claim of suzerainty.
China might, he said, have put an
end to the difficulties being settled
/ now. by consent to some improve
ments in Korean affairs. Improve

tions in Korea, it would be admitted

China, could open the way for re
