PARIS OF AMERICA WHITEHALL AS PARK
Mexico City Has Earned That Place
and Title.
The Mexican Metropolis Declared TO
Be IA Jewel set in the Crown of
the sister Republic of the
United states.

Mexico City has been cai.ed the Paris
of America, and with good reason,
surely.
Mexico City is jewel set in the crown
OF our sister republic; it does not shine
with light reflected from the great me-
tropolis upon our eastern shore, nor
does it pale in close comparison. 1t
CLEANS alone undimmed and with a
radiance peculiarly its own.
Set upon hood plateau, with the ever
snow-crowned mountains standing as
a sentinel, this lovely city commands
as grand a view as is to be found in all
the world. To the north a never-ending
chain of yerdure-hung mountains while
to the south the glowing tints and volup-
tous beauty of the deep valleys and
tropic gardens lie dazzling in the golden
sunlight.
Here you will find the contrast of
splendOr and squalOr, following the
avenues Of stately homes and pampered
luxury will be the narrow alleys and
swarming byways, the home of pesti-
lence and crime.
The aristocracy of Mexico is found
among the descendants of the pure Cas-
lillian Spanish and, with the flowing
Mantiila and Golfers of gold, have come
the hidden dagger. the slow smile and
treacherous hand of the Indian.
While you would miss the boulevard
cafe of gay Paris, you will find its mate
behind gorgeous gilded pillars and heavy
hangings Here. if you wish, fine lob
ster the waiter will bring a huge plat
tertul OF the crimson monsters that you
may have your choice and decide which
shall be prepared for your delectation.
A long drive. through overhangina
branches OF ancient trees, will bring
you to the superb Tacubaya, the Monte
Carlo of Mexico Here all day and al
night is the click OF the wheel and the
clashing of the dice.
A most charming trip may be taken tC

Right in the center of the city lies the
lovely Alameda. the queen of parks or
plazas, with broad stretches OF velvet
green, orange and magnolia trees

promenades. Here are great fountains
and magnificent statuary, while on each
side run broad avenues of smooth as

One Of these avenues passes between
blocks of handsome buildings, until
turning suddenly it widens to twice its
width, and starting from that magnif-

comes one of the most famous drives in
the world, the Paseo de la Reforma
This magnificent stretch of promenade
is nearly three miles long, bOrdered on
each side by fine statues of unfOrgOtten

into an immense circle, to admit of a
large and splendid monument and statue.
This drive ends at the park and castle

Moro music is strangely unrhyth-
mical to European ears. 1t consists
mainly of monotoGous reiter-
alton of sound, even a supposed
change of air being almost i'm
perceptible to an ear unaccustomed

piano is wooden frame shaped like the
runners of a child's sled, on which small
Kettle drums are balanced by means Of
cords and sticks laid horizontally.

SHAM ILLNESS TO AVOID WORK
Cases of FeiGned Ailments

'WOrk-sicHness" is a malady that

suffer to avoid regular employment.
Hospital physicians tell OF strange
cases that come under their notice
where persons undergo agOnizing
pain because of their aversion to
work, says the New York Times. Such
cases are most common in prisons.
but they frequently are found in the
city hospitals. Soldiers and sailors,
too, often resort to an extreme
eXpedient to get a week or month
or a year of the easy, pampered life
in a hospital ward.
The ailments most frequently
feigned are fits, paralysis, imbecility.
pains in the chest or back, splitting of
blood. and bleeding at the nose. Some
times leg is twisted or retained in
a peculiar position for a length of
time, resulting in the loss of power
of using it again. Some men have
been known 10 cause a limb to swell
and tester by pricling a sore with a
copper wire; TO cause infiltratiOn of
the air beneath the skin by running a
sharp instrument into the lung; TO
keep the end OF a stump Of an
amputated limb from healing by
torturing means.
Physicians say that among those
who sham a disease to avoid work,

To-day Germany fairly rivals Ireland
with its potato crop and outdoes most
other countries, Fully an eighth Of the
arabic land of the empire is planted to
this nutritious vegetable. says the Prov
idence Journal. Half the large yield Is
used directly as human food: q consid-
cradle other portion is given over to fat
tening stock. There still remains an
enormous surplus after that, however.
and II, Is the success with which the
Germans have met in turning this sur
plus into manufactured products that IL
most remarka able.
H. Among these manufactured products
are starch, glucose, potato flour, dextrin
and starch sugar, each Of which ap-
pears prominently on the list Of German
exports, all together contributing large
sums every year to the profit of German
manufacturers and exporters. But the
alcohol which the Germans make from
the potato is the most valuable and won
derful product of all. This is light
produced that fairly rivals the electric
current, 1t is said.
The apparatus for its practical use in
cludes lamps, chandeliers, street and
corner lights. in which alcoholic va

potato alcohol Is described as burning
