MexIco's Superb Cathedral.

The Cathedral of Mexico was begun
in 1873; but SO marshy was the land
that after so years of work, the wall
was only 200 feet above ground, al
though the Spaniards had used the
stones of the Aztec temple as their
foundation. Two hundred years were
necessary to complete the sacristy and
chapel, for the cathedral is over 400
feet long; with height of 179 feet, not
counting the tower, which measures
240 feet. It's magnificence of altar
furnishings, with lamp before the
sanctuary reputed to have cost $780,
600, glittering with jewels; its dark
cream walls and IA chapels, suggest
that Croesus rather than Cortez was
the master builder The architecture,
in the main, is of Gothic, with lavish
use of Doric and Corinthian pilasters.
Here are buried the remains of Itur-
bide-the first emperor of Mexico, and
also the head of the good padre,
Hidalgo, who, in his own far away
province, first rung his church bell to
summon the people to overthrow
Spanish rule in Mexico. Not always
did this skull rest in the bosom of
the church, for when Hidalgo was
killed battling for liberty. the Span.
iards hung his head on iron hooks,
still to be seen, on the prison walls
at Guanajuata.

Crushed by Modern Conditions.


OF all the modern worlds strong
holds of machine-driven labor none
can compare with Belfast and Glasgow
to emphasize the truth of Ruskin's de-
nunciation of modern industrialism.
Ugliness and monotony are here the
keynotes of life-great barracklike
buildings, where the workers toll
eternally in their day and night shifts;
long rows of sordid cottages, smoke
begfimed and hideous, where, in their
long hours Of ease, the men converge
upon the corner saloons as their chief
recreation and solace, while the wom-
en- pursue their truant offspring in all
manner of unsavory haunts. One Of
the commonest and saddest sights Of
Belfast's mean streets after work
hours Is q street corner group of girls
from ten to twelve years of age, each
carrying her younger brother or sis
ter tightly fastened to her by the
ubiquitous shawl. Small wonder that
under such conditions the mill hand
woman has hardened, that her fea-
lures and her manners have lost the

BRINGING IN THE WOUNDED
Lowering Men on Stretchers Without
Earring Requires an Expert
Hand.

A hospital train had come in, Brit
into night. Under the Pickering arc
lamps, in that cold and dismal place
(Boulogne), the train came to a quiet
stop. Almost Immediately 1t began to
unload.
Half way down the car wide win
dow was opened and two tall lieuten-
ants, with four orderlies, took their
place outside. 1t was very silent. Or
ders we're given in low tones.
One by one the stretchers came;
one by one they were added to the
frightening line that lay prone on the
stone flooring beside the train. There
was not jar, not an unnecessary mo-
ton. One great officer, very young,
took the weight of the end as it
marvellous gentleness as the others
took hold. He had trick of the wrist
that enabled him to reach up, take
hold and lower the stretcher, without
freeing his hands. He was marvel
ously strong, marvelously tender.
The stretchers were laid out side by
side. Their occupants did not speak
or move. It was as II they had
reached their limit of endurance. They
lay with closed eyes or with impas-
sive, upturned faces, swathed in their
brown blankets against the chill. Here
and there q knitted neck scarf had
been loosely wrapped about a head.
All over America women were knit

And still the line grew. The car
