The reason given for the falling on In

"Three days." was the reply.
There's the point" said Miller.

Of the walls was getting shaky. Di.
rectly under this wall were three men
from an engine company hugging

their eyes and playing their water
on the flames, which almost singed
their faces. I saw their danger-it
would have been obvious to any one
but these three fight maddened heroes

FOOD Of THE MExIcANs.
Frijolss and Tortillas the Main Diet OF
the Poor.

| Frijolss and Tortillas the Main Diet o.
the Poor.
People at home in the Estates" may
think the food Of the Mexicans mea-
ger. 1t is comprised chiefly of frijoles
and tortillas, supplemented by the
fruit Of the cactus when in season.
Tortillas are thin little cakes made
of corn boiled with lime, and these
serve as the chief food. Every house
has metate, a sort Of stone trough.
which rests on the ground, and on
this the corn is crushed to a paste
and then patted into thin round cakes
and tossed on clay griddle to cook
Don't think as you ride down the
street that In every house a child is
being spanked-it is only the patting
sound made by the women as they
deftly shape the tortillas in their
hands.
The lime in which the corn is sof-
tened is said to account for the very
strong white teeth Of the natives.
Frijoles are, Of course, beans and
after being boiled long time with
onions, chilli and other savory bits are
put into boiling lard for their final
flavor. Knives and forks are not need
ed where a tortilla can be folded In
the middle and used as a scoop for the
beans. These two articles Of food
form almost the entire diet Of the
poor.
All food is very hot, from the chilli
put in it, and one doesn't realize the
peculiar flavor that cinnamon will
give to many dishes until he has eaten
it in everything, from coffee to ice
cream. While pulque, the fermented
Juice of the maguey, our century plant,
is the national drink, If peon is very
drunk it is probably due to mescal or
tequila, two stronger drinks made
from the same maguey.
Cooking is generally done over few
pieces of charcoal on the ground.
Often have l seen women cook an en-
tire meal over as little charcoal as one
hand can grasp.-Los Angeles Times.
