KILLED BY COLD IN MEXICO.

City of Mexico, Jan. Hundreds
of shivering Indians and poems hover
ing around bonfires provided by the
Police Department and persons dead
of exposure summarize the situation
in the unprecedented cold snap that is
visiting Mexico.
For the first time in the history of
this city plumbers derived revenue
from freezing water pipes. The under
fed and ill-clothed poorer classes, some
of them nearly naked, were wholly
unable TO Withstand the unusual tenn
perature. They were kept alive by
gifts of hot tea and coffee furnished by
philanthropic women
Great drifts of snow in the mountain
division of both the National and Gem
trail railroads are causing delays in
train service.

Ferns in the House.
From the Garden Magazine

The sort of receptacle in which to grow
our ferns is a matter of taste. There is
long list to choose from between the ordi-
drained silver fern dish. The more sim
pie and unpretentious the better. Birch
bark baskets are especially adapted for
small ferns. Good-siZed jars and boxes
may be pressed into service for ferns of
larger growth, and, when glorifed by
birch bark cover are really artistic. An
attractive arrangement is a basket mount
ed on a tripod of white-birch saplings,
the bark carefully selected In order to
avoid cracks or flaws, for the presence OF
either means leakage.
House grown ferns quickly resent imper
feet drainage. Even ferns which grow in
swampy lowlands will not thrive In stag
nant water or sour soil. Broken crooks or
age in a flower pot. but sphagnum or other
waste moss should be freely used in other
Containers to take up superfuous water
which cannot be drained out. Glass fern
dishes are preferable to all others, because
such dishes lined with sheet of moss
over an inch OF pebbles are most artistic.
The moss keeps the soil inside from work.
ing down, and the pebbles quickly snow an
overflow Of water, which may be drained
off 1t is we'll to have the sheet OF moss
large enough to turn over and pin down
over the fern roots; this gives a neat fin
ish and prevents too rapid evaporation.
A most effective finish for the fern dish
is the so-called gray moss, or even
futed gray lichen. The stiff growth be.
comes pliable when wet and is then easily
adjusted. Just enough should be broken
away to allow the fronds to push through
This combination Of green and gray is very
lovely.

A $4,000 Funeral.
is Cor. London Telegraph.


In the Vanguard district there died re-
Gently a lien woman, who left instructions
in her will that a sum of 10000 francs. or
S14, 600, should be expended on her funeral.
The heirs and executors tried to carry out
the wishes of the testatrix so punctiliously
that they are now involved In lawsuit.
They organized a magnificent funeral. The
car was drawn by four richly caparisoned
horses, and covered with enormous wreaths
OF costly flowers. The church where the
service took place was ablaze with colored
lamps and thousands of wax candles. There
were even funeral baked meats for the
numerous persons invited to the interment,
and finally the mourning drapery was kept
up for five days over the house In which the
deceased lived. It was the drapery that
caused the trouble. Another tenant in the
house, who wanted to give an evening party
to his friends, objected to the black hang
ings being so long in their place. The heirs
and executors of the rich woman refused to
take them down before the five days were
over, so the man whose evening party had
to be postponed Is carrying the case before
the civil court, and hopes to obtain COM
pensation from the judges.
