Mexican. Hold STRANGE Beliefs.

Few countries are richer in strange
beliefs than Mexico, writes Charles
Bernard Nordhoff In the Atlantic
Monthly. There the witches assume
the eyes of cats and fit through the
night on vampires wings. A brisk
business is done in love potions and
candle flames still point the way to
buried treasure. The Mexican inherits
his cruelty to domestic beasts from
both the Spaniard and the Indian, and
his superstitions may be traced to the
same double source.
Eccentricity Is not understood In
Mexico. The native Is lover Of for.
mality, and one is judged largely by
external things. Each man dresses
according to his station, and 1t Is un-
that q well-to-do man should
wear q straw sombrero or carry a
serape; the poems would be the first
TO teer at him.

carved out by the action Of rain and
snow and frost and Ice. First the
highlands slowly emerged from the

and glaciers made gullies and left the
peaks. An observer returning at cen.

lies on the river directly facing the
Place d'Armes, which Is now Jackson
square, Il covered with the switch
tracks Of the Southern Pacific and
public Belt railroads, and with part
Of the large steel warehouse belonging
to the board of commissioners OF the

Supporters Of the Louisiana State
museum have appealed to the mayor
and the various civic organizations to
have these sheds and railroad tracks
removed at once, inasmuch as the
land, clear from the Cabildo to the
river itself, was appropriated some
time ago to be put In historical ano
