WHAT MExICANS EAT.
Grease Plays an Important Part n
Their Rich Dishes.

Their Rich Dishes.
The farther south one gees the
more important part meat seems to
play in the diet. In old Mexico the
people of the upper class have highly
seasoned roasts and steaks and game
three times every day The roasts
are stuffed with raisins, and rich
brown gravy Is poured over them.
Grease seems more indispensable to
them than to the fur enveloped Es-
kimos. There are no broiled steaks,
but in their place one is served with
a half raw piece of tenderloin reek-
ing with grease and peculiarly favored
herbs. In that balmy cline, where
the system would be so much better
off without any meats, thousands of
steaks are sold daily at 40 and 30 cents
a pound. The poorer classes are forced
to abstain from such and live on the
coarse frijole beans and cold clammy
tortillas, which are thin white corn
cakes made from rye hominy crushed
to pulp. This forms their UNMARRIED
diet. On the aristocrats' tables are the
most delicious fruits, chiramoyas,
zipotes, mangoes and others which
Americans have never tasted. The
popular aguacate is a cross between
fruit and nut. 1t is dark green
and the flesh is about the consistency
Of ointment. 1t grows on a tree of
unparalleled dark green foliage and is
used often in the place of butter or
is made into toothsome salad.
Rich soups, with bananas chopped in
them, are served every day, and vege-
tables dressed with goats cream are
on their tables. At every meal during
the year they eat the frijole beans,
which have been dipped into brown
pottery bowl Of boiling lard before
they are brought to the table. The
Mexicans eat enough lard to under
mine the digestion of the stoutest be-
ing. Sirup is great delicacy and
very expensive. 1t is served as sort
of dessert in little china saucers and
is eaten from spoons. Little bits of
native candies are also served in sepa-
rate plates.-Farm and Ranch.

TAILOR Take. the Artist to ra,,.

A well formed, good looking man,
rightly wearing such clothes as any
high class tailor would make for him,
would compare favorably with any
Greek of old, logged in his best. But
neither sculptor nor painter can make
so pleasing a representation of the man
in close fitting clothes as he can Of
the man in flowing robes, not because
the clothes are unhandsome, nor be-
cause they are unbecoming to the
wearer, but because the artist pre-
sumptuously thinks the tailor who
made the clothes did not know his
business, and does not think it worth
while even to try to represent them
as they are AS he generally repre-
sents them on canvas or in stone they
look as little like the sartorial things
of beauty they are as pallid corpse
looks like living human being.-Sar-
torial Art Journal.

Dewarra, currency of New Britain,
is an instance of how the spoils Of the
chase may be turned TO account as the
outward and visible sign of wealth.
Dewarra is made by stringing the
shells Of dog whelk upon the ribs of
palm leaves. These strings may be re-
tailed at SO much a fathom-usually
the price is equivalent to about three
shillings fathom length-or they may
be made into various articles Of per-
sonal adornment to be worn on great
occasions. In New Britain the dewarra
boarded up by a rich man is produced
at his funeral and divided among his
heirs In much the same kind of way
as personal property is divided among
