Ary unfortunate citizen of the Unit.
ed States who, from an unwillingness
to work or take part in the various con-
Germs of lfe has acquired a reputation
among his neighbors for being trifiing,
should emigratc at once to Mexico.
Life there seems to wear about as Serl-
Gus an aspect as comic opera, and
such citizen would be looked upon as
worthy addition to the chorus.
One of the important things In Mexi-
co Is to own u game cock, and on Sun
day mornings If you leave him tied by
the leg to n convenient awning post
while YOU attend services In the
church, you will excite no comment
among your neighbOrs. In fact, the
voice of the priest is often almost
street. Cock fighting and bull-fghtng,
as every one knows, occupy the same
relative places in the affections Of the
Mexican as baseball and football hold
in the American heart, and Sunday af-
ternoons is reserved for them.
The policeman In a Mexican town is
an official of Importance and dignity.
His uniform may be dirty and ragged.
but he wears n cartridge belt and six
shooter in addition to his club, and Is
usually seen with cigarette in his
mouth Five or six Of these worthless
Will drag a poor trembling wretch to
the police station with n flourish
worthy of the capture Of brigand.
The Mexican wears a hat covered
with gold and silver braid, that 10 usu-
ally worth moro than all the rest Of his
and his family's wardrobe, Qnd It is
this, together with the gey.sNtped
blanket and the swagger of the fellow
that gives him such an air Of stage
| makeup.
It is always dangerous to Judge the
| psople Of n town by those most M owl
ience on the street, but II were called
upon TO set n valuation OF the peeple
saw in some Of these Mexican towns
I should be tempted to mako my cal
culations by the dozen or hundred
rather than by the single native. With
ali their love of fnery, neither the men
nor women are much given to gey col
ors. Black and white predoninate.
but the bright sun makes 1t all gay and
fetching.
| When a Mexican grows old he seems
to shrink up until there Is little to be
seen of him but big hat and scrap
Of blanket pulled tight over his measre
shoulders. His beard and hair stand
out white and distinct from his dark.
| shriyeled face, which looks like that

Curious Christian Names

l remember hearing the following
story from the late Canon Bardsley,
author Of English Names and Sur
Names" There was once a woman

Canon, by way of parenthess-who
had a son whom she had christened

that when in after days he was asked
his name, and kept saying What.

other punishments seemed to have any
permanent deterrent effect. This state
of affairs was assumed, until recently,
to be inseparable from work carried
on in uncomfortable conditions. At
length it occurred to some bright spirit
that the red panes of glass might be at

the effect of green panes would be. The
effect was instantaneous. From that

workshop that had never been known
