 Go some day to the public baths. Few of our proud cities can boast of such con- veniences. A broad marble pool with steps leading to all the dressing rooms. Those on the first floor are 30 cents, as they are first class; those below only 15 cents, the same in every appointment, but second class.
 Overhead is stained glass roof and on the bottom of the pool the green moss is ever moving as the clear water flows gently in and out.
 Tn "Aguas Calienties," as the name signifies, you will find "hot waters" !" These have been the healing waters of Mexico since Montezuma's time. At the end of beautiful drive you will find a low, rambling building crouched at the foot of a hill. Here are the hot springs. Every room has an individual pool sunk in the fioor-the bottom is smooth peb- bles and the water of varying degrees of heat in the different rooms. Over the door to each bath is the Fahrenheit tenn perature of the water, and as patron, the name of some benefcent saint.
 Saint John the Baptist is quite popu- lar, being of most mild temperature; but Saint Peter is few degrees higher, perhaps more fitting to his somewhat fiery nature.

 Some day, when you are taking a stroll in the sun, you may grow thirsty. On every hand you will find pulque shop-and here you should try the na- tional beverage. Don't be afraid; as long as it is pulque it is a harmless, pleasant drink, but when it is tequilla, touch it not.
 Pulque is the sap drawn from the heart of the magney plant. During the first 24 hours it is a milky-looking liq- uor, tasting like fresh sweet cider. When it begins to ferment, however. this is the most vile, nausuating swill. But as it settles it is reduced to almost clear alcohol, forming a most f1ercely intox- icating liquor called tequilla.

+- Tnfort to Build Up the Industry to
 Rfva4 That of the West.
 The United States fish commission ds about to undertake an experiment, the outcome of which is fraught with vast commercial importance. 1t is proposed to introduce large number of Pacific coast salmon into the waters of the At Iantic fn an effort to build up a salmon industry here to rival that of the west ern coast.
 DrW. c. Kendall, one of the experts of the commission, is now making an investigation of the waters inha abited by the Atlantic coast salmon Do gather additional facts regarding it's habits, food, growth and life. He will make study of the coastal waters of aN the New England states and his report will have an Important bearing on the meth ods to be followed in introducing the western fish.
 Some eight or ten years ago the con- mission made similar experiment, but it was failure. During the admins tlation of Commissioner Brice a car load of Pacific salmon eggs were sent across the continent in the care of ex- perienced fish cu1turfsts. There were some 100000 eggs in the shipment. They were matched at the government stations in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont and when they reached what was considered the proper age the fry were released. Following the instinct of this fish, the young sought the deep waters of the Atlantic It is mys- tery what became of them, for only about ten individuals were reported in after years.

Medical relief is not always appreci- ated by the poor Chinese. Lately a blind fortune teller was treated at the European dispensary at Tientsin. He rushed away in horror on learning that his blindness was curable, declaring that if he regained his sight he should lose his livelihood, as people had more be- lief in blind fortune teller. Another blind beggar, who was cured of cataract, came afterwards to the doctor to insist on a situation being found for him. People would no longer reward his beg ging now that he could see. '.t
