GUADALUPE SHRINE.
THE MOST DEARLY BELOVED SPOT
IN OLD MEXICO.

Thousands From All Over the Coun-
try Make Pilgrimages to the Little
Village Each Yenr-The Story That
Is Handed Down by Tradition.
There is no spot in all Mexico as
dearly beloved us the little town of
Guadalupe, which is two and half
miles north of the City of Mexico.
The little village has only 5000 souls,
but many more thousands visit the
place on certain days in the year when
pilgrimages are made to the holy
shrine of Guadalupe.
The LIST of January and the 18th of
each month the faithful visit this place
and toll up the hill on which it is said
that the virgin Guadalupe appeared to
Juan Diego, an Indian boy.
According to tradition, Juan was
trudging over the hill of Tepeyac on
his way to the city on the morning of
Dec. 8, 1881, and as he reached the
eastern slope Of the hill he heard
sounds like music. He stopped to lis
ten, and at that moment cloud APP
peared and in the midst of it beauti-
full lady. She told him to go to the
bishop in her name and to tell him that
1t was her wish that a church should
be built on that spot, where she would
always be found to give aid to all in
trouble. Juan Diego hurried to the
bishop with the story of the virgin, but
no attention was paid to 1t. Upon his
return home the lady appeared again
in the same spot and urged Juan to go
again to the bishop.
The following day was the Sabbath,
and after mass Juan found the bishop
and repeated the message once more.
The bishop told him to bring sign
from the virgin. Juan saw the virgin
again upon his return home, and she
promised to give him sign, which she
did on Dec. IL as he was going to con-
fession. He passed this time near the
foot of the hill, where she appeared
once more. and while in conversation
with Juan she stamped her foot by
way Of emphasis, and water flowed at
once from the dry, barren hillside, and
two holy wells mark that spot today.
The virgin then told Juan to climb to
the summit of that barren rocky hill
and he would find roses growing there,
which he was to gather and carry in
his "tilma" to the bishop. Juan did as
he was told and found the loveliest
roses growing just where she had told
him to search for them. He gathered
them all and placed them in his It'll
ma" sort Of blanket.
When he arrived at the house of the
bishop and opened the blanket, the
roses fell to the floor, and picture in

Scotch Mnr,n stone -

Years ago Scotch great-grandpa
brought to America piece of sand
rock that some persons thought was
intended for a grindstone What caused
them to think SO was not because 1t
was round, but on the upper side 1t
was followed out like saucer, and
the other side had small projection
like n chocolate drop in shape and
size. Soon this was discovered to be
what is termed drip stone" and
when set in shady place and the
saucer side filled with water will de-
liver crystal pure and cold drops from
the underside. The water is absolutely
clean and pure rs the result of this
homely process. The idea was original
ly taken from the orientals, no doubt.

senting the virgin as she had appeared
to Juan. The bishop fell on his knees
In prayer and arose with promise to
build a chapel ON the spot the virgin
had designated.
Bishop Zumarraga set about to build
the church, and when it was completed
the "tilma" was placed above the altar
In frame of gold and silver.
That little chapel has since been re-
placed by the magnificent church to be
seen today. There are also two other
| churches to mark the spot on which
the roses We're gathered on the summit
and at the holy well where the virgin
last appeared to Juan. This miracle was
recognized in 1868 and in 1754 it was
fully sanctioned and confirmed by
papal bull. Later, In 1894, congress de-
creed Dec. - to be a national holiday.
Hidalgo took a picture of Guadalupe
for his standard, around which rallied
the first army of the revolutionists,
and the happy issue that her assistance
gave to that war endeared her still
more to the people. This picture on
the ''tilma" is wonderful piece of
work. Artists from all over the world
have examined 1t and have testified
that it is of no known style of painting.
The Indian garment of ixtli fiber is Of
coarse weave. The picture appears
on both sides of the cloth and is as
bright as new, although said to be over
800 years old. The Church of Nuestra
Sonora de Guadalupe, in which this
marvellous picture hangs, is said by ex-
perts to be one of the richest and hand
soonest on earth today. Its treasures
can be counted by millions. 1t was
dedicated May l, 1909, and is 1874 feet
long by 122 feet wide. 1t has vaulted
roof, supported by Corinthian columns.
The whole is surmounted by DOME
the lantern of which Is l25 feet above
the floor. The building cost 81 1881 900,
The jewels, gold and silver plate and
other rich belongings nearly all belong
to the government and are estimated
at So, 000, GOO more.
The church possesses very costly
crown for the virgin. 1t is of solid
gold and weighs many pounds. There
are six shields on the crown for the
six archbishops of Mexico, and they
are all surrounded by diamonds. There
are number of angels, each having an
immense ruby on the breast, while the
rest of the surface of the crown is COW
cred with sapphires and emeralds. This
crown is surmounted by the Mexican
eagle, holding aloft large diamond
cross.
The poor pilgrims are not able, many
of them, to form an idea of the rich
ness of this church, with its commune
ion rail and balustrades from the
sanctuary to the choir of solid silver.
They are three feet high, with top
molding foot wide and still more
massive base. The sacred vessels are
all of pure gold embedded with pre-
cious stones. The choir has some fine
carvings done in ebony and mahogany.
The finest is II basso relieve above the
stalls, illustrating the litany of the
virgin.

Preaching MONKEYS.

The author of THE History of Bra
zil" tells Of II species of monkey called
preachers. Every morning and
evening these monkeys assemble in
the woods. One takes higher posi-
ton than the rest and makes signal
with his fore paw. AT this signal the
others sit around him and listen. When
they are all seated, he begins to utter
a series Of sounds. When he stops
these cries, he makes another signal
with his paw. and the others cry out
until he makes a third signal, upon
which they become silent again. This
author, Mr.. Maregrove asserts that he
was a witness to these preachings.
