OmPns of BrIckIayers.

Bricklaycrs believe it is unlucky to lay the top brick at the north corner or a building. Some of them would lose a days pay rather than imperil their future by doing such piece of work A bricklayer often bricks up in the hollow of wall a horseshoe with a cent tied to 1t. This he does for good luck. To lay the first and last brick of any building but a church brings good luck to the bricklayer. Churches are the lucklest buildings to work on; the aters are the unluckiest. It Is bad luck to break a trowel.-New York Press.

HOLIDAYS IN MEXICO.
They Are Numerous, but Are Not All
Local Celebrations.

The visitor in Mexico is apt to be
surprised at the number of holidays
celebrated here and made the occasion
of rejoicing. with accompanying music
and decoration, and is likely to think
that the Mexican does nothing but
celebrate.
With his religious and national feast
days, the Mexican does have many
holidays of more or less general i'm
portance and when he is not celebrat-
ing these he may be celebrating the
day of his patron saint or of that of
some member of his family. so that it
seems to require little inducement for
him to celebrate. If a member of the
family goes out of town for few
days or weeks, his return is celebrat-
ed In some mild way and his welcome
home made pleasant.
But not all of the celebrations which
take place in the capital are Mexican.
as the foreign colonies contribute their
share of feast days. The Americans
celebrate their day of Independence on
the glorious Fourth of July. and ten
DAVIS later The French celebrate the
fall of the Bnstille. and so it scoes, tn
British celebrating the birthday
