SOME MEXICAN WAYS.

They Would Seem Hardly the Prop
er Thing to . Yankee Housewife.
AN American woman would grow
ray-headed in month if she attempted
to keep house in Mexico on the same
plan pursued by the native housewives.
There are no water mains in the aver
age town, and water for domestic Pur-
poses is drawn from the public foun-
tains and sold from door to door by
leather-aproned vendors, who carry it
in picturesque vessels of hide or pot-
terry. Pulque and milk are brought to
market in skins OF sheep, pigs, and
goats, which are stripped off the carcass
by cutting only the neck and legs and
turning inside out, all the openings but
one being tied up securely. The natives
do not object to the flavor of goat hide
and swine skin in tie milk, but visitors
do.
The washewomen have no faith in
modern methods. They get IS cents a
day and are satisfed. This sounds i'm
probable to the Chicagoau who is being
"done up" by his laundress and has to
endure it. The washerwomen all do
their work beside an open stream Of
water in trough of stone or wood. a
piece of homemade soap and their
strong hands. No hot water is used.
The scene at the public washhouses is
an interesting one. The method breaks
buttons, bends buckles and tears goods
with the same ease as does the steam
laundry in the states.
The average Mexican cook is as prim-
tive as the washerwoman. No matter
how many times the use of modern
cook stove were explained to her, it is
probable that she would build the fire
in the oven and put the bread to bake
in the firebox. What she would use is
called the brasero. Among the poor
this is an urn-shaped affair of pottery
with hollow base, where tiny char
coal fire may be kept alive by constant
farming, the whole being not much
larger than q common flower pot. In
the homes OF the upper classes the
brasero rs built in of brick, mortar and
piles, it's surface as high as an Ameri-
can cook stove, with holes a foot square,
under each Of which a charcoal fire is
kept burning. Some of these stoves
have Is or 80 ovens, and the operation
of cooking Is so labonious that the cook
has q relay Of assistants to prepare the
vegetables, wash the dishes and attend
the 1ires.-Chcago Journal.

knocked Smith down in the first round,

break away and kept rubbing his head
into Choynski's face. covering the Cali

corners and stopped the bout. He award

ANOTHER MAD DOG.
An Animal Affected With the Rabies
Causes Somewhat Of a Repetition
Of the Excitement Of Last January.
The Dog Killed by Officer thinner
man Near the Fifth Ward Market
House.

Another mad dog was killed early yes
terday morning on the South Side. For
tunately. however. so far as is known, no
person was bitten, and none of the dread
results are feared that followed the career
of the mad brute which caused such ter
ror on the South Side on one morning last
January. Several parties reported that
they saw the dog after midnight yester-
day morning. and it was stated that the
dog was running aimlessly about frothing
at the mouth and swapping at people who
happened to he on the street at that hour.
one man stated the. he had been chased
over the Main street bridge at two o'clock.
officer Zimmerman, who killed the mad
dog last January at a dangerous risk and
who was so badly bitten by the animal
that he went TO the Pasteur Institute for
treatment. was put on the trail of the
dog and finally run him down at the Fifth
ward market house, where he ended its
life by a few well aimed chunks Of lead.
The dog was a Scotch collie. and its
owner is unknown. While it is not sup
posed to have bitten any person. some ap-
prehension is felt for fear it may have
bitten other dogs ard thus spread the
rabies.
