The Chinese N.ntcbmuker

In China the matchmaker. or "go be-
tween is very important factor in
domestic life. He It is who casts his
watchful eye around that he may find
suitable husbands for the daughters of
his acqualntances and then approaches
the parents with due circumspection
as well as good deal Of tact and d.
plomacy.
To the family of the young man he
narrdtes the good qualities. beauty and
amlability Of n certain young girl; then
he makes Il visit TO her father and
dwells upon the riches. learning and
wisdom of youth he knows.
If he finds both sides willing to con-
slider the question he plies back and
forth between them with all the ca ger
ness of man anxious to drive good
bargain. He knows that If he succeeds
he will get nice little fee from each
family. and so he paints the many
charms of the young couple In glowing
terms
He Is not always truthful. and Oft
lowed to see his future wife before the
ceremony, finds that after the red cloth
and veil are removed he is married to
an ugly old crone.
These Instances of bad faith on the
part of the "go between" are fortunate
~ rare. and usually he exhibits much
discretion in his matings.

Floating Gardens In Mexico.

While the City Of Mexico is 5000 feet
higher than sea level. there are in the
vicinity several lakes and marshy
tracts which require extensive drainage
operations. The Viga canal is one Of
these great drainage systems. and up
on it are numerous barges which trans
port farm and garden produce from the
market gardens to the city. Flat bot
toned boats, propelled by a pole, con-
vey passengers to the floating gardens.
The gardens are located upon marsh
land quite similar to the tule lands of
California. The soil is composed of de-
cayed reed and grass roots. being en-
tirely of vegetable mold and quite fer
tile. bitches at frequent intervals
drain the gardens and furnish means
of communication by canoes and small
boats TO the larger canal and thus to
the city. Here are the great market
gardens where vegetables are grown
for Mexico's consumption; here, too,
are grown the magnificent flowers
which form one Of the Drincipal ttrnc-
