QUEER MExleaN CUSTOMS.
Convenient Manner of Performing a
Dreaded Society Duty,

Some of the Mexican cnstoms
save much trouble, saws n GORE
spondent of the Boston Herald.
You are invited out to dine. On
rising from the table you thank your
hosts foc their hospitality, and thus
is your dreaded dinner call accom-
plished. Now, I contend that this
Is most civilized and amazingly con-
venient. No Mexican arises from
the table without expressing his
thanks for the hospitality extended
to him, and always this is done with
old fashioned grace of speech. The
poorest man you have at table, per-
haps, as 1 have seen, a humble
ranchero, would not forget this lit
tie act Of thanks, not for his life.
a man of rough exterior will sit
down to meat with you, and, though
he may mix up his forks and bran
dish fork in the air along with his
knife as he talks, he will observe
many graceful customs, offering
whatever is passed him to a lady at
his elbow and if he gets tidbit
insist on his neighbor sharing it. In
country places your host in true
Moorish fashion will put choice
morsel in your mouth. at bottom
Mexican etiquette is Moro-Spanish,
and many of the most familiar arti-
cles Of food hark back for their or
igin to the Arabs. Especially is
this SO in the matter of sweetmeats,
and the famous alondigas, meat
balls of small size with o stufing
OF eggs and sometimes of spices, are
Moorish for o thousand years. On
the tables of the well to do the des-
sert is matter of wonder and shows
the Arabian taste for sweets. Some
times half q dozen delicious pre-
serves will be seen. The people have
q very sweet tooth.

SEVEN DANGEROUS DAYS.

An ancient soothsayer said to the i'm

elevators boiler works, hospitals and
many establishments employing large
forces of men, as well as the books OF
records of the Cook county hospital for
each month for the past five years
shows an average of So cases of injuries
by accident month. Out of this total
65 occurred during the fatal" period.
The coroner'S Office shows more
startling confirmation of the doctors
theory. About So per cent, or nearly
two-thirds, of the deaths by accidents
and other causes requiring official VI
veStigation occur between the 10th and
the 26th of each month. OF the days
of the week occurring in this fatal"
period Saturdays and Mondays appear
to come particularly under the malign
influences This may be partially ex-
planned from the fact tAlt great many
of the laboring class are paid on Sat

intemperance. AS an old newspaper

Henry Clews, in his Weekly Financial
Review discusses the outlook for spring
trade as follows: The railroad Situa
ton remains satisfactory, earnings con-
tinuinS to exceed last years large fig
ures in spite of corn crop damage and
interruption to traffic from bad weather.
The mercantile outlook is also salts
factory, the west still being exception
ally prosperous and the farming classes
enjoying good credit. From all accounts
the prospects are for good spring
trade in due season. Improvement in
the foreign situation is also likely 10
stimulate our export trade in manufac-
lures. At the moment, therefore, there
is little reason for taking pessimistic
view of the situation. The market has
had period for rest and recuperation;
and those in control may consider the
period opportune for completing some
of the vast plans which have been I'M
der consideration. If they succeed in
their endeavors and nothing interferes
we shall probably see a more active
market during the next few weeks, and
judicious opera lions to catch the fiuctu-
ations cannot fail to prove profitable
