AZTEC SWEETMEATS.
Delicacies of Montezuma's Time Made
by Mexican Indians.

From the New York Evening Post
Some of these days a clever historian viii
discover and publish the daily bill Of fare
which Montezuma offered the mobiles Of his
court. 1t must have been very excellent.
judging from the relics which have surrived
the clash of war and centuries. The tamaIe,
the chilli con carne, and the tortilla are
three dishes of which we know consider
able, and of late years we have begun to
learn something about the sweetmeats upon
which the children in the Aztec homes once
RECALLED themselves. They are still made by
the Mexican Indians, and more especially
the Mayas at the present time and occa-
sionally a few are brought by travellers to
this city.
They are manufactured chiefly Of fruits.
and sometimes of nuts and fruits mixed,
and with but little sugar. They are more
like macedoneS of fruits than ordinary
preserves. The favorites are the guava,
loquat, orange, lemon, lime, cocoanut, Gus
| tard-apple, pineapple, fig, banana, pawpaw,
grape, currant and berry. The coc3anut is
used just before maturity, wnen the meat
is still soft and pulpy. In general, the fruit
is cut up, cooked with very little SWeeten-
ing, and boiled down to a granular paste
and then preserved by the addition of some
vinouS fluid.
The Mexicans today employ brandy,
| aguardiente, meScal, or strong wire, so that
| the finished product bears a vague rose m
| blance to our own branded peaches. With
| the exception of the guaVa, il is seldom
| that one fruit is used alone. The common
practice is to combine two or more; cocoa
nut, guava, and orange are one pleasant
! combination; cocoanut orange and pineap-
pie a second; orange, pineapple and pawpaw
a third; raisns, orange, banana and cocoa
nut are a fourth. Some thirty forty
| combinations are recognized by the rustic
housewives.
When the fruits have been properly boiled

are very economical, costing hardly as
much as apple butter and ounce butter IN
our own markets. There is no reason why
they should not be imported, as they would
find a ready market the moment their
merits became known to the New York
public.

What the Metric System Is.
From Leslie's Weekly.


The metric system offers the great ad-
vantage of being based upon the decimal
notation, the same as our currency, and its
terms or denominations are written in the
decimal form, the lowest denomination at
the right. The system derives its name
from the word meter" the standard unit
of length, this unit being fixed as the one
ten-millionth part of the distance from the
equator to the pole, measured on the sur
face of the earth, meter being equal to a
little more than thirty-nine ordinary inches
The unit of surface measure is an are
of volume "stere," of capacity liter
and of weight gram" these terms being
derived from the Latin and Greek The
higher denominations of each table are
formed by prefixing to the standard unit the
Greek numerals '.deka" for ten "hecto'
for hundred, ..kilo'' for one thousand etc.
For submultiples, or lower denomina tons,
the Latin ordinals are used "deci' for one
tenth, cent? for one-hundreths, etc. These
prefixes furnish the key to the whole sys-
tenn, since the name at once shows whether
the unit is greater or less than the standard
unit and how many times greater or less
Thus, one dekameter denotes ten meters.
and one decimeter denotes one-tenth of a
meter These terms and the order being
once understood. the whole system be-
comes clear and easily remembered.

Pulque and Mescal.

From Chambers Journal.
On the east coast and in the central prov
inces of Mexico drink called pulque is
made from the sap of the maguey. each
plant in its Towering season yielding
roughly about gallon of sap a day. The
sap undergoes a process of quick fermen-
tation, and is then ready for sale as pulque
a viscuous, whitish liquor more Supplying
than intoxicating in its effects. on the
west coast, however, the Mexicans barely
even know the name of pulque. Not that
the west coast people are teetotally in
clined; on the contrary, they manage to
extract from the maguey a much more in
furious beverage than pulque. known as
mescal To quote one of the sages OF
America, this latter liquor is like Scotch
whisky, seven times heated with the addi-
ton of a hot chill "a liberal dash of fuseI
oil, and small piece Of scrap iron flavor
ing But mescal is really comparatively
mild to either tZwin or teguila, which are
also products of the prolific maguey

While all of US housekeepers have hours
of repining UTTERED or unexpressed), when
we feel that the days burden is too heavy
on our shoulders, our work is never done;
the spring sowing is hardly finished before

When the children are grown, they are

may be empty of all human interest, and
we may sit alone, with but the ghosts of
the vanished past to bear us company.
Let us, then, wisely improve the present

CURIOSITY OF HEREDITY.
Children of Old Parents Make Most
Intelligent Men.
From the Chicago Post

From the Chicago Post.
1t is one of the curiosities of heredity
that while the children of young parents
are usually brighter than the children Of
old parents, the children of the old parents
develop into the most intelligent men and
women. A good illustration of this is to
compare the savage races, which marry at
a very early age, with the white race,
which is the latest in marrying Of all races.
Teachers among the negroes of the south,
in the philippines, in Polynesia, and in
Australia tell us that the dark-skinned
children in their schools are brighter than
the white children, yet we never look for
great men among these races. and We
would not find them if We did look.
All of the great men of the world, like
Aristotle, Bacon, Culver and Franklin, have
been sons of very old men. When emf
nent men like King David, the Catos of
Rome, the elder William Pitt and certain
branches of the Dana, Lee and Livingston
families of America have sons late in life,
the eminence is continued to the next gem
Grafton, but when eminent men like Ark
wright, Bulwer-Lytton, Coleridge, Crom-
well, Peter the Great and Solomon have
sons in early life, the eminence Immediately
disappears.
in the British nobility. Each noble family
begins with an eminent man, and the noble
branch is continued down through the eld-
est SON. 1t has been frequently observed
fact that the eminence is very rarely con-
tinued to the third generation, and usually
disappears in the second. 1t is true that
eminent men have been produced In these
noble families, but during the 500 years in
which the law of primogeniture has been
in force every such case has come about
through some accident which has elimi-
mated the eldest of the eldest and has
brought in some younger branch to inherit
the title.
The conclusion to be drawn from this is
that young men should not marry before
they are twenty-five. Neither should they
remain old bachelors beyond thirty Tn
married people do not live as long mar
ried people, and no creature is SO miserable
as AN old bachelor with relatives
