HOW MEXICANS LIVE.
Peculiar Customs Noted by Visitors
from the States.
Light breakfast Taken by IRhabI-
tHntS OF Our Sister Republic
Food OF the Working PeO-
pie Is Very Plain.

The Mexican breakfast, like that
of the French, consists only OF bread
and coffee. Lunch and dinner. or
dinner and supper, IS they are call
ed, differ but slightly. Dinner is
served usually about = o'clock. 1t
begins with soup and eggs, and then
follow d number of meats, each
served as a separate course, with an
entire change of service every time
The meats are eaten quite alone,
few vegetables being served in ad-
dition 10 the salad course, and such
as are used for garnishment. The
dessert courses at a MeXican table
differ even more radically from those
served on American tables. Home
made pies, cakes and puddings are
practically unknown.
The Mexican housewife, says Mod
ern Mexico, pays comparatively lit
tie attention to the kitchen, and
rarely cooks anything herself. If
pastry is desired, il is purchased at
the dulceria. Nothing j. baked in a

Mexican cooks do not, as a rule, un-
derstand pastry maMng. and their
sweets are limited To stewed fruits.

the richest and sweetest preserves,
so that a very small portion is satis-
flying.
Business hours in Mexico begin in
the afternoon at 2:3O or 3 o'clock,
and run until or in the evening,
SO that the supper hour falls any
where from $50 to an hour later
This is probably one reason that
MeXicans are not more given To even
ing entertainments. Attendance up
on the theater entails the necessity
of an unusually early supper. or else

TAWNEY'S AMENDMENTS
He Will Offer Three Changes in
Cuban Tariff Bill.

Washington, March 31-Three amend
ments will be offered by Representative
TaWney of Minnesota at the meeting or
the committee on ways and means to the
proposition to reduce the duties on Cuban
sugar 20 per cent.
One proposes to reduce the differential
on refined sugar, another provides that
the bill shall not go into effect until Dec.
/ next, and the third permits alcohol, a
biproduct of sugar, to be manufactured
without the imposition Of internal rev.
enue tax. The first two amendments are
directed against the sugar trust, which
the opponents Of the plan of the ways and
means committee contend will be the prin-
cipal beneficiary under this legislation.
The amendments relating to free alcohol
are based on the idea that its adoption
would permit the beet sugar manufacture
ers to derive an income from a source
which Is denied them on account Of the
levying under present laws of internal
revenue. 1t would also lessen, in the
opinion Of It's advocates, the adverse effect
on the beet sugar industry, which Mr..
Tawney and his supporters contend will
follow the adoption of the pending legis-
lation. The committee doubtless will re-
fuse to adopt any Of the amendments.
