crown, white cotton paiamas and leather
sandals For his rather doubtful services
this setgneurial vagrant Is paid at the
rate of twelve cents per diem; but he Is
perennially happy, nevertheless, and his
wages are quite sufficient for the support
of himself and family, besides providing
him with the ingredients for his beloved
cigarette and an occasional copa Of puIque
wherewith to stimulate his unfailing afra-
bility. The living of these simple ranch
folk is frugal in the extreme, consisting
mainly of the various fruits Of the coun-
try, frijoles or Mexican beans, and the in
evitabIe tortilla. With the better element
on the hacienda the table fare is quite
different, representing the choicest and
most varied cuisine that can be provided.
Such products of the hacienda as are
not preserved for it's own use are taken
to market upon the backs of small native
burros, capable of carrying immense
burdens, by means of ponderouz
wooden ox-carts, relics of antiquity rarely
to be found in use in any other civilized
country
The different seasons witness but little
variation in the lethargic serenity OF
hacienda life in Mexico, whether 1t be
harvest or seed time, the gathering OF
grain. And if, perchanee, possessed Of a
mad ambition to hasten the packing and
shipment of his consignment, he is merely
put off with the courteous and deIusive
assurance that his desires will certainly
be attended to-pseudo-manana. The word
haste is entirely unknown to the vocabu-
larry of the haciendado. Why should there
be any hurry when the whole infinite fu-
ture is at his disposal?
All the elements of a small uanufac-
turing village are embodied in the average
hacienda. There are mills for the re-
duction of cane to sugar and the cereals
to flour and meal gins for the curing OF
cotton and looms for its manufacture into
textiles. There is a distiIlery for the
preparation of mesca1 and tiquiIa, the
national beverages; a general store, a
chapel and a community school And this
little principality is owned and presided
over by courtly caballero, who is far
more solicitous regarding the welfare and
happiness of his small army OF depend
antes or the stranger within his gates
than of the revenues Of his broad estate,
which at the least are sure to be amply
sufficient for his needs.

Messing the advent of many changes In
