children of most tender years pinch and
pet and pat and poke and coax moist clay,
wax and other materials into statuettes
and tiny figures, which they sell in the
Mexican market places.
The children of Mexico have not over
many pets, but they all have familiar no
quaintance with one animal, the mule
Almost tho poorest Mexican family has its
mule. Save among tho rich, the largest
family rarely has but ono such steed
Mexican families are not, as a rule, small,
and tho family mule is perpetually called
upon to carry burdens that are enough to
sour the disposition of sweeter tempered
animal. White mules with black faces,
black mnles with white faces, and mules
of every mulish color or combination Of
oolors arc always ON tho move in Mexico
You will sec them in the city streets, and
they will save you from feeling lonely
when you tramp the country byways. The
destination of a Mexican mule is 10 to !,
church, tho market or home. The eldest
boy leads the mule. The father pushes
the mule discreetly. The mother, all tho
little children and no mean part of the
family goods and chattels ride the mule
His muleship, even under such circum-
stances makes long journeys day after
day, but he does not do enthusiastically
Music is an instinct with the children
Of Mexico. 1t isn't the blare of the new
day. It's the glad mathis Of the birds
that waken tho Mexican mites. If those
Mexican babies be half well born ami
half well housed, they pay the birds for
songs with songs. This is the custom
When day first breaks into the bedrooms
of Mexican house--and she breaks in
very early, partly because Mexico is where
Mexico is, and partly because the low
houses have an abundance of windows
when, for these two reasons, the sun does
mako SO early an entrance, the head of the
house calamity welcomes it by lcaping
out of bed. If he is very old or very
feeble, he at least manages to lift himself
from his pillow, and he begins to sing a
song, a hymn of morning praise If
priest be staying in the house, then that
priest starts tho vocal symphony, and the
father mother and all the people of the
homestead down to tho least of the serv-
ants take it up and join in the song Of
simple welcome to the morning, but
sweetest of all tho voices heard is that of
the Mexican baby.
Tho poorer children of the cities of Mex
leo spend u considerable part of their days
in tho market placcs-in tho bazaars.
They pcddle the little clay figures and
wax creatures that their delft fingers have
shaped and the sunshine in which they
love to sit has baked, they hawk flowers
and barter magnificent fruits for copper
coins, they rush after you and catch you
by tho skirt and hurl you back to their
parents booths. As n rule, they know one,

Full and Interesting Particulars
of a Case that Attracted
Wide Attention.
Mrs. AdeIine kunson, Who Resides in Mcddy
bemps, Maine, Declares:

For many years past have been afflict
cd with general debility, slceplcssness, and
numbness in my hands and feet caused
by poor circulation and impure blood.
Was at times affected with headache, dix-
illness and severe vomiting, as my food
would not digest properly. In later years
my nervous system seemed 10 give out en-
irely, and a general paralytio-likc numb
ness came over me, have tried numerous
kinds of sarsaparillas without obtaining
any benefit from them. They not only
proved valucless, but 1 believe actually
harmed me; my stomach could not retain
them, and grow steadily worse.
About year ago, l heard of the Red
Seal Sarsaparilla, that was said to be pre-
pared by an entirely new and thoroughly
scientific method, whereby certain poi
sonous principle, very harmful to the digs
tive organs, and which is brought out in
some process, was entirely eliminated.

of the Red Seal Sarsaparilla, and after
taking three bottles / found myself en-
tirely cured, and, although 81 years OF age.

have for many years past.
l believe the Red Seal Sarsaparilla to be
the best medicine OF its kind, and strong
ly recommend it to all who wish for
speedy cure. 1 will cheerfully give full
details of my case TO all who wish for
further particulars.

There are two words in the whole range

cious, instantaneous, importunate, men
.dacious, nefarious, precarioQs, pertina-
cious, sacrilegious, Simultaneous, tena-
