Many languages Of Mexico.

During the fiestas Of Christmas or
the week of All Souls and All Saints,
when the Indians swarm down from
the mountains with their holiday
wares for sale, visitors in the city
of Mexico may notice the strange
language that the vendors use in ad.
dressing each other. Even when they
turn to serve the purchaser their
Spanish is neither Castillian nor
Mexican but is frequently broken by
peculiar syllahles and accents.
This is merely an illustration of the
fact that the Indian languages of old
Mexico have not been entirely sub
merged by the conQuering Spanish.
and in some of the most remote dis
tricts of the republic various and dis
tinct languages handed down from the
pre-C Columbian era are still spoken in
their pristine purity by many tribe
members.-=Mexican Herald.

And next he auctioned off his beds

Because of the popular aversion to
the serpent family there is surpris-
ing amount of ignorance about even
the simplest of snake habits. 1t is
doubtful If many correct answers
could be given to the question wbeth.
er snakes lay eggs or bear their young
alive. AS a matter of fact, some
| species are viviparous and others
oviparous. Most of the poisonous
snakes, as well as many of our harm
less varieties. belong to the former
class.
The European ring snake is close
ly allied to our common water snake
and goes by the scientific name Tropi-
donotus natrix. Curiously enough. all
other members of the genus Tropido.
notus are viviparous, and this species
alone lays eggs. Furthermore, accord.
ing to Gadow's "Amphtbia and Rep,
tiles" the new laid eggs usually show
not the slightest visible sign of an
embryo, unless oviposition is delayed,
when the embryos are more or less de-
veloped.
The eggs are laid in July or August
In a soft bed of loan or decaying
vegetation, or in heap of manure.
The other snakes sometimes lay as
many as dozen eggs or more and
they usually stick together so that
the entire cluster can be picked up
at once. Sometimes, however, II the
process OF laying is slow, they will be
separated. The eggs are about an
inch long and Of whitish yellow col.
or. The shell is thin and flexible like
parchment.
The young hatch in late summer or
autumn. Before Matching they de
velop q sharp calcareous growth ON
the tip Of the snout known as the
egg-tooth, with which the shell is slit
open. Unlike Matching chicks, which
are suddenly dispossessed by the
breaking Of their brittle shells, the
young snakes may make many In
cisions in the parchment envelopes
and take many peeps at the outside
world before venturing forth into the
new environment. Shortly after
Matching the egg-tooth is lost.
At first the young live on insects
and worms, but Within a few weeks
they are strong enough to attack and
devour young frogs. Strangely enough.

and streams hunting the fish and

JEWELS A TEST OF TASTE.

L
1t takes instructive good taste to
know when Jewelry is allowable and
In good form. Very often, however,
women, knowing perfectly we'll that
they are violating the law Of good
taste, persist in the promiscuous wear
ing Of jewels at all times of the day.
Jewels. excepting rings, should new
er be worn except when the costume
Is at least semi-dressy. Necklaces and
bracelets are most distinctly out of
place with strictly tailored gown,
although rings are allowable.
1t is conservative to say that orna-
nnents should never be worn before IL
o'clock midday, and it is better to
avoid them until after o'clock in the
afternoon. One bangle. or several
plain ones, a few rings and watch
chain may be worn at any time, no
matter how early the hour.
Just as men always wait until after
6 before wearing evening dress, just
as no one would ever wear watch
with ball gown, these little laws of
fastidious fashion are quite universal
ly obeyed.
Girls before 18 should never wear
precious st0nes, unless it be one hand
some ring. When school days are over
and long skirts are adopted they may
wear what jewels they see fit, provid-
ing they do not deck themselves in
conspicuous way.-New Haven Regis
