MEXICAN CARRIERS.
The carsadora Can Carry EnOrmous
 Loads on Their Shoulders.

The carsadors Can Carry Enormous
 Loads on Their shOuIders.
 Just as ono finds the riciEshaw every. where In India, so one finds the carga- dor in Mexico. He is a beast of bur den In general be Is a comparatively small man, with broad shoulders and stout arms and legs. To look at hlm one would not think he would be able to carry heavy burdens. But the weight be can carry Is surprising. You have trunk you can scarcely move, for instance. You send for a cargador. He gets 1t upon his back, high up on the shoulders, and he marches of with 1t as easily as though 1t were play thing. A life dedicated to carrying heavy burdens has made this work easy for him. A slightly built Mexican will carry over 500 pounds on his shoulders for short distances.
 Until recent years almost everything In the City of Mexico and everywhere else throughout the republic was car rled upon the backs of cargadors. If you wanted to move your household furniture you hired 6 certain number of cargadors. For house moving they generally work In pairs, each pair hay Ing hand truck, which they pick up and carry when it S loaded, for t has no wheels. In tho City of Mexico Shers are still hundreds of these hand trucks, though one may now find plonty of carts, wagons and heavy moving trucks.-MeXicap Herald.
