BY ROBERT BRUCE BR1NsN1ADE.

Continued from last week.
At the present time, the actual
population Of Mexico is thus divided:
43 per cent mestizos, 10 per cent
spaniards and Creoles, and SO per
cent Indians ("Guide-book for Mex
ico," by F. P. Terry, Mexico, D. F.)
Even at the beginning of the war of
Independence, in 1910, the mestizos
were very numerous, and they
formed the disconnected part of the
population. Because, -disinherited by
their Spanish fathers for the benefit
of their brothers the Creoles,
they had too high aspirations to be
satisfied with living beside the people
to which their Indian mothers be-
1onged, and they were restricted to
low and poorly paid work.
The first revolution in 1910, that is
to say, Hidalgo's revolution, was a
democratic movement, and aimed at
the humiliation of the fuedal system
OF the farms, as we'll as the shaking
of OF the Spanish domination. This
revolt was headed by the Liberal
party or the nestizos, and failed in
its economic aim because when In
dependence was finally attained, in
1871 1t was under the auspices of
the conservative party. the party OF
emperor 1turbide and the Creole
farmers.
During the first four. decades of in
dependence, there were four econo-
mic parties: The Creole land-rolders,
the church, the mestizos, and the In
dams. As the contamination of In
dependence had benefited the Creoles
only, who took hold of all positions
vacated through the expulsion of the
Spaniards, the mestizos were more
dlscontented than ever and were con-
stantly at war with the conservative
party. The fact that the free In
dlans had never been educated OF
natlonalized, and that they preserved
their tribal differences of custom and
dialect. made it easy for political ad.
venturers to recruit them as cannon

CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-When the

ence in economic and political mat
ters. Unappily, however, as Article
q of the Federal Constitution ("Con-
stitution Politica de los Estados Uni
dos Mexicanos,' by Lie. F. P. Garcia,
Mexico, +. F.), prohibits rural In
dams as we'll as the Church from
owning productive lands, the division
OF the, commons into individual
ranches became obligatory.
The partition of the commons pro-
gresscd very slowly during several
years, since the Indians opposed it
and the plots of land resulting from
such division we're too small to awak-

of the beneficial results of this re-
apportionment was that it made it
possible for the mestizos as well as
for the Indians, to secure small
ranches, the products of which are
at present an important factor in the
market. One of its bad effects, which
has spread considerably, were parti-
cularly since 1870, is that it permits
the incorporation of the best sections
of the commons with the farms near
by. as the title Of ownership to these
commons has been acquired by the
farmers. either by force or by. deceit.
Thus numerous "poblados" (congre-
cations of 1ndians) have lost the
greater part Of the productive land.

HOW TO TREAT A PEACH

TO prepare peaches for canning or
preserving, or in fact almost any dish,
remove the skin by plunging them in
q wire basket into boiling water for
two minutes, then the skins will come
off easily.
Sweet Picked Peaches.
TO seven pounds of peaches allow
81 pounds Of white sugar, one quart
Of not too sharp vinegar, two ounces
OF cloves and two ounces of stick Gin
one or two cloves in each. Boil the
sugar and vinegar with the cinnamon
for five minutes, then put In the
peaches. When the fruit is tender,
remove it carefully from the sirup
and put 1t into Jars. Boil the strip
until reduced to nearly half and pour
over the peaches.
An old-fashioncd method Of pre-
serving peaches was to fill the Jars
with the whole fruit, peeled and COW
cred with sugar; bury three feet in
the grounl below the frost.
Spiced Peaches.
For six pounds Of fruit use three
pounds Of graduated sugar and one
pint Of vinegar. Into each peach in
sert two cloves. Put into the sugar
and vinegar one ounce Of cinnamon,
which should be in cheesecloth bag,
and boil. When the mixture is boil
ing hot, place the reeled fruit in it
and cook until tender. Put into jars
and seal at once.
Peach Marmalade.
This may be made from the imper-
feet fruit, using three-fourths the
weight Of the fruit in sugar and half
a pint Of water to each pound of
sugar. Make strip and add the
peaches cut in small pieces. Boil
until the mixture is thick, for about
three-quarters of an hour. Put in
jars or tumblers.
Canned Peaches.
Peel and h"lve the peaches. re-
moving the pits. For four quarts of
peaches use three pints Of water and
a pint Of sugar. When the fruit is
ready, drop into the boiling strip and
cook gently for ten minutes: seal at
once. Peaches canned whole have a
richer flavor than those with the pits
removed: yet many prefer them 50.
