Poems OF OLD MEXICO.
Indian FARM Laborers That Are
Really Beasts OF Burden.

Really Beasts of Burden.
The Mexican peon is the backbone Of
the republic Without him the great
landed estates, or haciendas, would lie
In idleness, while agricultural and com
mercial interests would stagnate. OF
cast iron constitution, he can endure,
apparently without effort, the hardest
sort of drudgery. His energy comes
from diet that consists chiefly of
ground peppers, beans or frijoles and
a large quantity Of tortillas. He works
from 6 to 6, enjoying in the meantime
his two simple meals. In general, the
Indian farm laborers are of a submits
sive and respectful disposition. Like
the negroes of the south, they are not
far from the main building, so as to be
on hand whenever their services are
required. They usually insist, how
ever, on celebrating their holidays,
which Lessons their real usefulness
about % per cent. The holidays are
numerous and afford the laborer many
opportunities to quaff from the stupe-
flying pulque bowl. Their stock of sur
plus change is not apt to be excessive.
It cannot be when most of them re-
ceive but little over 20 cents day.
Field hands in the states Of Guanajua-
to, Michaocan and Queretaro receive
a cuartillo Of corn in addition to their
wages Of II cents day. One hacien-
dado who voluntarily raised the wages
Of his hands to 10 cents day found
himself without laborers for two days
Of the week. AS the extra wages sup
piled living means for the entire week,
what was the need of working?
These laborers are of all sizes and
ages; but, whether young or old, all
bear alike upon their brow the depress-
ing and degrading leathern thong that
makes of them beasts Of burden. The
effect Of this customary strap on the
shape Of the head is seen in the fact
that the poems the country over have
peak shaped heads tending toward the
shape Of the pointed hat. The supply
of laborers is, so to speak, perennial.
The young muchacho receives his train
ing in watching the sheep and the
goats, acting as messenger or prodding
the burros in the pack train. When he
is about sixteen years old he takes his
place with the regular laborers and be-
gins to cast his eye about for a help
mate. The wife may prove useful and
earn small wage at some such opera
ton as sowing seed. Her life will be a
monotonous one. A strip Of cloth serves
as dress and skirt a StriD of leather
provides a sandal, and in the hot re-
gions the clothing for the boys is even
as simple. All that is required is q
jorongo, which consists of a yard of
cotton cloth with hole for the head
and two depending flaps to cover
breast and back. There is no possibili-
ty of their clothing impeding their
movements. When the woman takes
her husbands meal to him far out in
the fields, she takes the little toddler
with her fastened securely in her re-
