this Capt. Evans says:
II have never considered 1t necessary.
and am sure that great majority of Of
fcers in the navy do not consider 1t nee
essary, to announce to their crews that
they believe In Almighty God | think
that goes without saying. We each of MS
have the right to show by our acts how
much we are inbued with this belief Capt.
Philip had a perfect right to show this to
his men as he did; 1t was simply matter
of taste.
Now for myself. Shortly after the
Spanis; cruiser Vizcaya had struck her
colors. and my crew had secured the guns,
the chaplain of the ship, an excellent man,
came to me and said. Captain. shall /
say n few words of thanks to Almighty
God for our victory? l said. BY all mea MS
do so; l will have the men sent aft for
that purpose and was on the point of
doing so when it was reported to me that
a Spanish battleship was standing toward
us from the eastward.
My first duty to God and my country
was to sink this Spanish battleshp, and
u Immediately. made preparations to do
so. When it was discovered that this ship
was an Australian, / found my ship sur
rounded by boats carrying dying and
wounded prisoners and others Of the crew

not put black mark against me on ac-
count of it. do not know whether l shall
stand with Capt. Philip among the first

say in conclusion. that every drop Of blood
in my body on the afternoon Of the Sd Of

THINGS QUEER IN MEXICO.

According to law all books of COR
porations must be kept in the language
of the country.
Mexican men and women carefully
refold their handkerchiefs before re-
turning them to their pockets.
Milk is delivered from house to
house from large cans with a fiat side
that are slung over a burro's back.
Women doctors are practically un-
known and the first woman to be ad-
mitted to the bar recently took her
examination.
Most doctors have signs as large as
those of the dry goods stores, reach
ing clear across the front OF their
Office buildings.
Judges take more active part in
trials than in the States, and, as a
rule, question the prisoner and wit
nesses direct from the bench
In addition to the omnipresent bal
cony every window in Mexican houses
is fitted with iron rods on which to
hang canvas awning.
The City OF Mexico owns a closed
street car without windows that is
used for transporting prisoners from
one part of the city to another.
AS a usual rule commercial houses
have certain hours for paying Just as
bank and many of them only make
payment one day in the week.
1t is sometimes necessary to hold
court at least for short time on Sun
day as under the law jury trials can
not be continued for longer time
than twenty -four hours.
Mexican butchers have no use for
saws. They cut beefsteaks, chops
aud everything else with one big thick
knife, weighing several pounds, that
they use both as knife and cleaver.
TO the lowest classes of Indians and
poems knives aud forks are unknown.
They deftly convey their food to their
mouths with a piece of tortilla, the
corn cake that forms the staff Of life OF
the common people.
