MARKETS Of MEXICO
OPEN AIR INSTITUTIONS FORM A
PICTURESQUE FEATURE.
Lower Class of MeHicans Said 10 Be
Born Tradesmen-Market Place
in Small Town a veritable
Beehive Of Industry.

City of Mexico.-One might travel
the world around and find few more
picturesque institutions than the mar
kets of Mexico in the warm colors 81
a spring day. This does not refer to
those big market places Of the CAPT.
tai, and to those painfully new build
ings TO which the residents of various
cities throughout the republic point
with pride; but to those open-air, sun
bedecked plazas of bartering which
n frequently runs across in the sub
urbs of Mexico City and the smaller
towns and villages of the interior.
1t is in these outdoor places of
~dickering that one may catch the true
spirit of the lower classes in their
most typical dress. 1t has been said
that the lower class of Mexican is a
tradesman, born to buy and sell, and
that he would much prefer to haggle
all day over a profit of ten cents than
to carr a wage of so cents. But be
this as it may, the market place is the
great gathering place of small traders
from far and near, who come to gossip
over the latest news and trade small
talk, as well as to dispose of their
more marketable wares.
The market place of a small town
is a veritable beehive of industry, or
the semblance of industry, and it is

Love in youth Is a sweet song of JOY
and hope and promise. But love that
spans a lifetime, that reaches and
caresses our heartstrings once again
as we enter the final shadows, has
only the pathos of parting and the ten
der chords Of almost forgotten melo-
dies in it. Vainly do we strive to en-
ter the enchanted garden once more.
Vainly do u heart throbs beat
against its adamant walls. Vainly do
we hope to catch just one more of the
old bygone thrills. 1t is useless, for
none can live, life over, and once age
has locked the portals of youth and
fervor, they are never opened again.

A ere Fad.

John D. Rockefeller, Jr., was talking
to a member of the famous Bible class
about economy.
"But economy, like everything else,
may be carried to extremes-may be
made a mere fad Of" said Mr.. Rookie
Teller.
There is a farmer out near Cleve'
land who makes a fad Of economy,
Every time he drives into town he
carries a hen with him tied to the
seat Of his buggy.
"a friend rode with him one day
and found out the use of the hen
When, at noon, the farmer lunched
under a tree he gave his mare a feed
from a nosebag. The hen, set on the
ground, ate all that the horse spilled
from the bag, and thus there was no
waste"

cAlRo's CURSE OF BLINDNESS.
Affliction Little Needed by the Fatal
lists of the East.

The first thing that impresses the
stranger at Cairo is the number of
blind-men, women and children-to
be found everywhere In the shops
and on the streets. Ophthalmia is
very prevalent throughout Egypt.
Because Of superstition concerning
"the evil eye" the native mothers
of the middle or the lower class do
not wash the eyes of their babes at
all. Watching the flies buzzing I'M
needed around and upon these blind
children, a stranger hastens to buy
a fly whisk. These are for sale every
where, and are quite attractive with
their ornaments Of fancy beads and
palm leaf fiber. Blind beggars greet
n at every corner. Even in the
high class Egyptian families there
are many blind. The lower classes of
Egyptians are given much to hasheesh
that is, the lower classes in the
large cities-and, although it is
against the law to sell 1t, one will
have the hasheesh places pointed out
and the men who smoke the drug are
seen everywhere. They are distin-
guished by the peculiar appearance
of their eyes, which become red,
swollen and baggy underneath, and by
the peculiar color of the skin, which
resembles somewhat the skin of a
Chinese opium smoker. - Leslie's

CHAPTER xxxvl.

With September came a suprem&
event in the lives Of Chip and Ray,
when Mr.. and Mrs. Frisbie, Aunt Com
fort, Miss Phinney and Hannah, Uncle
Jud and Aunt Mandy, and Old Cy, all
gathered in Aunt Abby's quaint par
lor to see her aged pastor join their
hands and lives. Then came the kisses,
the congratulations, the rice, and old
shoe throwing, and then solitude and
tears for Aunt Abby. All the wedding
guests except Old Cy hied themselves
away with the new pair, and he left
for Bayport.
And thus closes the history of Chip
Mcclure, waif of the wilderness and
slave of Tins Place.
Bless her!
Two days later Old Cy returned.
No one was in the house when he
knocked at Aunt Abby's door, and
then, led perhaps by the invisible
chord that spanned 40 years, he slowly
strolled up the path beside the old
mill pond. which he and she had often

A Typical Market Woman.

only necessary for the sightseer to
visit such suburbs as Coyocan to be-
come convinced of this beyond perad-
venture.
The little market of a town is the
goal of all ambitious tradesmen in its
territory. 1t is at this point that
travelling peddlers, street vendors and
mountain Indians begin their days
labor, and they have usually spread
out their wares before daylight.
Here may be seen the wandering
Spaniard or Syrian, with his peddler's
pick spread out, with all its gaudy
ENTHUSIASTICALLY colored handker-
chiefs, combs, strings of glass beads,
bracelets, necklaces and cheap tinery
of every description. His is the ma
g%ician's bag to the poor Indian criada
with only a few centavos to b%espangle
her natural charms, and his is one
of the most attractive booths of the
plaza.
But itinerant peddlers are common
to all countries, and one must turn
elsewhere to catch those typical wares
of the people. There, spread out on
the ground, one may see the cheap
native pottery, in various and sundry
shapes, serviceable and otherwise,
which the Indians themselves have
made in their crude fashion. There
are the native fruits, luscious and
tempting, but fast spelling in the glare
of the sun. There are native man
tillas, shawls, reboZos and perhaps
a booth with other wearing apparel
for women. There are sombreros, and
frequently n may run across char
70 suits of leather with spangles of
silver pieces to catch the eye Of the
visiting ranchero. And there are
rough native shoes, with long pointed
toes, that were the style in the United
States several years ago.
In fact, there is no limit to the va
riety Of the wares which may be seer
for sale within the limits of a very
small market, though no grand pianos
have been noticed in the display.
There is everything, from a penny's
worth Of peanuts to a pesos worth
of more substantial merchandise. And
on a fiesta. 1t is indeed a scene of
bright colors to catch the eye of an
artist.
1t is to the little market place that
the Indian, Tarascan, Tarahumara,
or whatever his tribe is, trots down
from the hills to dispose of his handi.
craft, his baskets, his blankets or ever
his crude violins.
But the Mexican market place Is not
only a plaza for buying and selling. II
seems to be the meeting place for
everything, for dogs, cats and Indian
babies. The dogs and cats are al
lowed to scamper around in every di
r~ection, with but little cause for ap
p~rehension on the part of buyers and
sellers, and as for the babies-they
are spread out in every direction in
the sun, dirty little contented speci
mems of humanity that are the only
things in the market place not fol
sale.

Old Cy evidently felt it a subject to

he even ask how Aunt Abby looked or
what had been her life experiences.
A little of this reticence wore away in

Mandy once more referred to her sis

nounced his plans.

No opposition to this unseemly out

Mandy. They knew, or hoped, the
leaven Of bygone memories and asso
citation would change the hermit-like
impulse Of Old Cy, and all in good time
a better ending of his life would seert
possible to him. To argue it now was
apparently useless. A man so set IN
his ideas as to remain a homeless
wanderer for almost a lifetime, was
not to be changed in a month, or per
