HOLIDAYS IN MEXICO.
They Are Numerous, but Are Not ALI
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
M 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 1t
seems to require little inducement for
him to celebrate. If a member OF the
family goes out of town for a 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
days later the French celebrate the
fall of the Bastille, and so 1t goes, the
British celebrating the birthday of
their king, the Italians the entry into
Rome of the troops of united Italy, the
Germans the birthday of the kaiser,
the Swiss the day of the formation of
the confederation. The Spanish cele-
brate the birthday of their king, and
in September their feast of Corvodon-
ga is important enough to last three
days. No doubt there are other ceie-
bratiens not so public or prominent,
such as the Chinese New Year and
others, but the above goes to show
that not all the feasting in the capital
is done by natives. An interesting
point, however, is that foreigners who
come to Mexico are soon the keeHest
for the coming of the various holidays,
and Mexican, religious Or their own,
are jealousy demanded as leisure days
from all houses Of business or com
merce.-MOdern Mexico.

Curious French Market.

There is a curious old market near
Paris in which everything is sold at
secondhand. Working girls can fit
themselves out there from head to
foot. AS a writer says: Mimi can sell
her old felt hat and buy a straw one,
exchange her old dress for q new one
and, if she likes, buy a steak and a
salad for her dinner, a paper bag Of
fried potatoes, sweets and some flow
ers for her window. Democracy is king
here, and no more attention is paid to
the millionaire who is looking for
something marvellous which he may
pick up cheap than to the man with a
wooden leg who wants thew boot in
exchange for a dozen sardine tins, five
gloves and a stocking.

SENTENCE SERMONS.

No II is defeated until he gives up.
Hard times has a good many rela-
tiVes. 1t is the twin brother of the
blues.
That man has failed who has not
been able to keep a good opinion of
himself.
Self control will succeed with one
talent where self indulgence will fail
with ten.
What the superior man seeks is in
himself. What the small man seeks
is in others.
There is no disgrace in ~unprevent-
able poverty. The disgrace is in not
doing our level best to better our con-
dition.
Poverty itself is not so bad as the
poverty thought. 1t is the conviction
that we are poor and must remain so
that is fatal.
Confidence is the Napoleon in the
mental army. 1t doubles and trebles
the power of all the other faculties.
The whole mental army waits until
confidence leads the way.-Success.

The Hazel Tree.

n curious survival of the days when
the magicians of Europe sought indie
fatigably for the philosophers stone is
the superstition that attaches to the
hazel tree. The old alchemists used
to make their divining rods out of
hazel twigs, and they fostered the be-
lief that it would mysteriOusly direct
its owner to hidden treasures, if it was
manipulated with the absolute faith
that was required in all those occult
entertainments of the middle ages. AS
time went on, the rod Of Jacob" as
a branch of hazel was universally
known, gathered new powers. Not
only would it lead to the discovery of
buried boards, but it would also act
as an infallible agent in locating run
away servants and escaped criminals.
1t was a sure guide to underground
springs IS we'll, and was an unfaiIing
charm against the lightning.

Mrs. Craigie's Habits of Work

many years to begin her work at s
o'clock in the morning, no matter how
late she had been up the night before.
Off and on she wrote till 11:3O, never
being able to do more than half an
hours work at a time, a disability
which makes the amount she produced
the more amazing. After luncheon
yer after q luncheon at the Carlton
she wrote again until it was time to
pay calls and to talk at tea tables as
