MEXICAN WOMEN AT WORK.
Have Few Outside Interests and Care
Nothing for Athletics.
From the Mexican Herald.

From the Mexican Herald.
As the Moors practically controlled the
commerce and education of Spain for over
100 years. the Spaniards acquired, to
great extent, the same ideas held by them
of the education and treatment OF women
And they in their turn, carried these IDEAS
to Mexico. In fact, the Mexican women or
the upper classes were much freer under
the Aztecs than they were afterward under
Spanish rule. And, until quite lately, this
condition of affairs has prevailed in Mexico
since its freedom from the Spanish crown.
Not so many years ago when a Mexican
woman went shopping she remained IN her
carriage In the street and sent her servant
into the store to call one OF the clerks 10
wait upon her He came out and received
her orders and brought the goods to her
for examination. This peculiar method OF
shopping was due to the old Mexican Idea
that lady of good family should be ex-
elusive and should shield herself from the
gaze of the public. and in fact from every
one except her own Immediate relatives
and most intimate friends. This idea has
been dying hard for over a century and 1t
is still far from being completely buried IN
some parts of the republic.
The Mexican woman is naturally a home
lover. She has no clubs to take her away
from her home, and she has few OUTSIDE
interests Even when she is philanthropy
cally inclined, which she very often Is, her
ideas of life tend to make her place her
charitab BILE contributions in the hands or
sister superiors of converts or directors or
charitable institutions and works for use
in the cause she has at heart.
The Mexican women of the middle and
upper classes have meyer been athletic, at
least since the Spanish conquest. This, OF
course was due TO the secluded life they
led But the women of the lower classes
have ever been stout and muscular for
much work of a heavy kind has always
been their lot. On account of her qu.etef
disposition it Is not probable that, for years
at least. the Mexican woman will take the
interest in athletics that is now being
shown by her American sister Another
reason is that the sympathy of the Mexi-
can people is all against her doing so.
In the Mexican schools the girl is taught
many things In the way of needlework
painting embroidering. drawing and de-
peaceful uneventful life after leaving
school. To this must be added music. For
here. as in Spain and other Latin countries.
most women of the middle and upper
ella sses receive an excellent musical educa-
ton.
In their homes, and In their own way, the
Mexican women are delightful entertainers,
and their knowledge of music aids not a
little in their entertaining.
The piano always forms a very important
factor in the entertainment at a Mexican
house. No matter how small the gathering
of friends, there is always some who
requested and always cheerfully given. for
a Mexican not only likes to help entertain
his friends and his friends friends, but he
looks upon 1t his duty to do so. With
the piano also goes singing of the popular
songs of the day.

Old Age Pensions.
From The New York Mail.

Pensions for the old are form of pater-
nal or socialstic enterprise In which the
European practice is far more advanced
than the American. The French chamber OF
deputies has Just passed measure proyid-
ing old-age pensions for wofkingmen OF
I'm the program Of the laborite party which
has half hundred members In the present
English parliament. Germany has had
since 1888 a system of old-age pensions for
septua genarians, annual payments ranging
in amount from about 500 to about
S57 Sweden, Iceland, Finland. Belgium
Austria, Roumania all have recognized this
principle, in some cases making 1t compuI-
sorry in the form of state insurance in 9TH
ers voluntary. The highest government
pensions for old age are probably those OF
New Zealand-$90 year.
The people of the United States have
never manifested any particular desire for
old-age pensions, yet in rnodifed forms the
system has made considerable Roadway
here. The national government pensions
its war veterans and retires It's officers on
half pay, and the President wants Ii to pen-
sion the life saving service. The city re-
tires It's policemen, school teachers and
firemen on half pay. Many railroads have
provided for old-age pensions. notably the
Pennsylvania, Illinois Central, Union Pa
cific, Philadelphia and Reading and the
sions are also granted by the Consolidated
Gas Company of this city. the Standard
on Company and the Carnegie mills at
PittSburg.

NOVELTIES IN JEWELRY.
New Rings, Brooches, Scarf Pins and
Ornaments.
From the jewelers. Circular Weekly.


A spiral ring evidently intended TO almost.
K not quite, cover one phaIanx is composed
of a diamond band ornamented with good
sized diamond and square-cut emerald on
either end.
A charming brooch is in the shape of a
pave diamond shell, holding a perfectly
round, white pearl
Animal heads are always popular scarf
pins, and one of the most attractive is
deer's head and antlers entirely IN dla-
nonds.
Occasionally one sees long slender ear
rings worn with a smart costume and
matching, or at least harmoniZing, with
the color of hat and gown. though as deal
ers do not report any demand for the very
extreme styles, such indications must be
taken for what they are worth.
The basket weave pattern is shown on
number of gold card cases and pocketbooks
in rather duh finish, as distinctive from the
plain bright gold, which appears to be
much lighter in weight.
The heavy effect is seen in a small gold
mesh purse, which is Handsomely orna-
mented with beautifully chased frame and
finished at the bottom with pendent pearls
The purse is suspended by heavy chain
attached TO a pretty ring, which Is de-
signed TO slip over the gloved finger.
A gold spoon for the baby has the top of
the loop handle handsomely chased
chains, which are connected with heavy
gold inks. On the other hand some ex-
tremely light chains re shown.
A unique little ornament which is more
or less expensive, is diamond torch dis
playing a ruby diamond fame.
Very artistic and beautiful are new de-
signs in the thinnest of translucent enam-
els, which appear on the surface to be
threaded and edged with gold. The rich
harmonious coloring in delicately shaded
effects, together with the motifs employed
are delightfully."- novel in the results at
tanned. Costly corsage ornaments exploit
natural forms, sometimes with leaves VEIN
ed with diamond dust, or perhaps spray
of leaves and flowers tied with diamond
ribbon.
Among the motifs displayed In this man
ner Is group of morning glories,. bunch
of bluebells and especially bell-shaped flow
ers, also leaves with berries. A charming
berry design is simulated by bunch of
smooth, pink pearls depending from dia-
mond-veined leaves. grouped gracefully
above the swayfng stems. Also in q SINH
lar style are some very charming pen
dants, attached to a neck chain formed
of slender and rather long beads. match
ing the general tone of the green leaves
and closely connected by links of rich vel

DANGEROUS Suction of a Train

From; the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
The peril OF standing too near to flying
railroad trans was shown ar Mamaroneck'
Westchester county, Saturday AFTERNOON
when Robert Coward, deputy county clerk
was caught In the suction of the Boston
express on the New York. New Haven and
Hartford railroad dragged forty feet and
instantly killed. 1t is not an unusual thing
for persons to test the sensation OF stand
ing near train passing at a high rate or
speed The train in this case was going AT
the rate of sixty miles an hour. and the
displacement of air in such n case Is ter
rife. causing a rush of IL IN the imme-
5iate vicinity which even strong men some
times cannot resist. Many persons seem
to think that so long as they do not get on
the track they are In no danger. If they
will give little thought to the matter they
will see their mistake. Moreover, there Is
always the possibility of something pro-
iecting from the train which VIII strike one
standing close TO the tracks Stand back
and give the air currents well as the
train right of way.

TRACTION DEPARTURE
PHILADELPHIA TRANSFORM
TON TO BE REvoLUTIoNIzED.

PHILADELPHIA. March 2o.-Mayor
Weaver today met the officers of the Phiia-
delphia Rapid Transit Company, which col-
trois all the railway facilities of the city.
and signed an agreement by which the sys-
TEN of transportation will be revolution
and practically signed an agreement by
which the system of transportation win be
rsvoliltionized. Certain legal forms must
be complied WITH the mayor says. before he
viii formally attach his signature The
terms OF this agreement were reached at a
meeting held between the mayor, his direc-
tor OF public works and representatives or
the rglpid transit company.
The agreement includes rapid transit by
subway and elevated lines, in three years;
an assurance of competition and the re-
covery by the city OF millions Of dollars
worth OF franchises.
The Philadelphia Rapid Transit Compa ny
agrees to complete within three years SUD
ways under several streets In the business
center of the city and an elevated railway

TO Frankfort In the extreme northeastern
section of the city The company sur
renders franchises for surface lines On
Broad street: for two elevated lines when

street, which, il Is believed, viii permit the
Philadelphia and Western railroad, new
company, to construct Its proposed line
from West Philadelphia through the heart
OF the city to the Delaware river, connect
ing on the west with its road to Parkes-
burg. Pa.
At the last meeting of councils Mayor
Weaver sent a letter to that body contain
ing such proposition from the Phiiadel-
phia and Western Railway Company.
While the old republican organization,
under the leadership of former State 1nsur-
ance Commissioner |. W. Durham. was In
control of the political situation here ths
Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company secur-
ed franchises which precluded the possfbii-
ity of competition. The companys failure
to complete the Market street subway with

ton to seek an extension of three years in
which to finish the work.
1t was within the mayors power to hold
up this work. and, supported by the vari-
Gus business mems associations he secured
the concessions stated by agreeing to grant
the extension of time. The Philadelphia
Rapid Transit Company will also pay the
city 100000 In cash to be used In abolish

Entertaining Lions.

Birds OF feather may flock together, but
lions rarely enjoy the company of their
kind two of a kind never can agreed The
solitary thrush sings alone; a lion Is like

one dinner party spoiled by the multiplicity

luck to snare a lion. remember that he Is a

pleasure. It Is better TO invite lambs to
meet a lion than to ask another lion. Every

AFRAID OF THE CAMERA.
Superstition of Eastern Indians as
to the Danger of Photographs.

pia Town tSie.l Ior. New YORK sun
Dana Ncolar. a quarter blooded Indian,
has just violated the traditions of his tribe
by consenting to have his photograph taken
to please a Canadian girl from Montreal,
who says she is In love with him. Stu
dents OF ethnology assert that no Indian
who speak the Natick or Eastern Ian
gGage OF the tribes will consent to stand
before camera. unless he Is far gone in
intoxication.
Among the beliefs held by the Abenakl
tribe is one which asserts that the great
spirit has made from twenty to thirty du-
plicates of every Indian who wears the sal
mon totem. The original figure, which is
the Indian himself, has power to walk
about on top of the earth and have good
time eating and getting Intoxicated. The
Indians are hidden away in still pools and
deep lakes, where they remain sober all
the time from eompui5ion.
On festive occasions when brave is
married or when he takes the scalp of an
enemy, he Is permitted to throw stones
into these watery hiding places and stir
up an aquatic duplicate OF himself When
the submerged Indian rises near the sur
face the terrestrial Indian may look in the
water and see himself But every Indian
is cautioned to be economical In drawing
upon his duplicates as every time he sees
his image In the pool he uses up a part
of himself. and when the last one Is gone
the Indian must die.
As every loyal Abenaki believes that sit
ting before camera is as bad for his
health as invoking his picture from the
bottom of pond. the amateur photograph
err Is not a welcome visitor at any tribal
function. At times this inherited luminosity
takes the form of action. and the photog-
rapher is elected from the company with
force and his camera burned Ia public.
