There are wonderful charm and
sweetness in the home life of Mexican
families Well bred Mexican women
are naturally gentle. but they command
obedience, and. though they almost
idolize their sons. they do not spoil
them. OF course. there are exceptions,
but these only prove the rule.
As for the girls, no respectable par
ent would allow her daughter to be IN
the streets after dark unless under the
care of an older person, a trustworthy
servant or an elder brother Even
among maidens of the humble classes
there is no stroliing about In the streets
of an evening. There is plenty of prop

the objects OF their parents teuderast
love, but they may not run about with
out escort, and they are watched and
guarded by their relatives. even by dis

The ring has been used in the mar
riage service since the most remote
times, having probably first been given
in pledge by the Egyptians. The pos
session of the ring made it possible for
the wife of an Egyptian to transact
commands in his name. The ring is the
symbol of eternity and placing 1t on the
finger was regarded by the Anglo Sax
ons as a pledge Of faithfulness for all
time. The ring at the betrothaI was
placed on the right hand, and at the
marriage ceremony transferred to the
left. The bridegroom placed it first on
the thumb, then successfully on the
first and on the second fingers, naming
the Father. Son and Holy Ghost" It
was then placed on the third finger.

the hide double, making crease

farther on, they chew again, and repeat
the simple process until every inch Of

why the nro1e Is BIND.

The creatures which dwelt In the
darkness Of the depths naturally lost
their powers OF vision after awhile! It
is the same way with the mole, which
is doubtless descended from progeni-
tors which could see. Blindness in the
mole is the resulttof a degeneration Of
the optic nerve, the consequence Of
which Is that images formed In the eye
itself are not transmitted to the ami
mails consciousness. Occasionally a
mole can see, a little out Of one eye
which has retained its communication
with the brain.
It is not that the mole is, born blind,
but that it inherits a tendency to afro
ply OF the visual organs just as peo-
pie derive from their parents an incIi-
nation to consumption or other dis
eases. Some day In the future there
may be noEuch thing as . mole that is
not entirely and hopeiessly blind.
