Mexico is a land of different civila"* ~ ization from ours. It- j people are a people in tl e 'i'elves and I find it one of the stranger couutries of the world. We know very litttleof Mexico. Prescott gave us a picture of the country in the time of the Montczumas. Passing travelers have written the impressions that came to them while looking out of express trains going at the rate of forty miles an hour, and we have a hazy idea of the republic as a sort of a tail to ttie United States. It is supposed that there are about 11,000,000 people in the republic, but they have never been accurately counted, and the most of them are * "Iwvuf rrV>i/>V? f Vi O Ut a cuaratu'r uuu law auuui nuu>u mu world knows nothing. The men kcown as Mexicans are the ruling claw aDd these arc numbered by thousands instead of millions. The real people of Mexico are the Aztecs, millions up:>n millions of whom have not a drop ot Spanish blood in them, and many of whom possess no element of nature in common with the Spaniards, the half-bieeds or with their civilization. Most of these Indians speak Spanish,but they have their own tongues as well, and it is said there are at least 100 different dialects used by them in different parts of Mexico. In some parts of this country you will find nothing but these Indians, and Senator Hearst,a year or so ago,traveled over some of the back districts of Mexico where he was the first white man the people had ever seen. They regarded him as a great curiosity, carried him on their shoulders for milea and delighted in doing him honor. CACTI OF MEXICAN PLATEAU. The word Indian gives no proper idea of these Aztecs of the nineteenth century. They are nothing like our Indians in appearance or civilization. They are as ad r vanced as the lowest classes of many parts of Europe, and they have manners and a civilization peouliarly their own. They have shown themselves possible of great development, and some of the most striking men in Mexican history have come from them. Juarez was an Indiau; Hidalgo was an Indian; and the President of Mexico to-day?Senor Diaz?has some Indian blood in his veius. The Congress of Mexico is largely made up of the deeccndants of the Aztecs, and it is believed by many that the future possibilities of Mexico are to come from this race. The pure Spaniards of Mexico are few, and they and the people of mixed Indian &nd Spanish blood make up, it is said, less tbau one-half oi the whole popula turn. Still it is lroni tnem mat tne whole country has been judged in the past, and it remains to be seen what the influence of railroads and the consequent development will have os the masses. The best part of Mexico ha9 not been prospected as yet by the miners. A mining engineer who has been traveling in the southern states of the country tells me that the great mines of the future lie in the south rather than in the north. Still the north has been worked for ages, and gold and silver are turned out there by the millions of dollars' worth every year. Even the northern mining regions are comparatively little known, and Col. Bivics, a well-known American miner, who owns valuable property iu the State of Guanahunto, tells me^that he has ob* tained a concession for a Philadelphia syndicate to some wonderfully rish but unknown gold territory 0:1 the western coast of the country. The agricultural resources of Mexico are as little knowa and have been as nttie tested as us mines, and there is enough untitled land here to feed the whole United States if it were cultivated. Just now coffee planting is being largely undertaken and new I 6ugar and coffee fields are being planted in a number of the States. America knows but little of the Mexico of the present. The}' would consider it an evidence of ignorance if a Mexican bad never heard of the names of any one of the United Statsp, but ninety-nine Americans out of one hundred cannot name, without looking at the geography, five out of the tweaty-seven State? which make up this great republic, and the majority of them look upon the whole country as aoouc as larze as one 01 our medium-sized State5. Tiie fact is Mexico is about as large as the United States, including Alaska, and it. is six times as large as Great Britain. It is more than three times as large as Germauy, and you could lose three countries as big us France inside of it. Across the top of it, where, like a irreat born, it is fastened to the United States, it is as long as Indianapolia is distant from New York City, and a line drawn from the root oJ the horn at California catercornereu across it to its tip at Guatemala would be as long as the distance from New York to Denver. The horn is about 15C miles wide at the bottom or tip, and J about S00 miles wide at its roots where it joins on to us. In its curve it em braces the Gulf of Mexico, and the Pacific Ocean washes its other side. It is not a smooth horn by aDy means. Great mountains lie all along its top, and this top a vast rolling ^able-laud, the most V iiir 'i-f" kt&lirrliiftiftTai of which is a mile above the sea. I had imagined this great Mexican plateau, which runs from the north to the south throughout the eutire country, to be a flat. It is rolling and is made up of desert wastes, rich valleys and of mountains which have for the past 200 years been furnishing a great part of the gold and silver of the world. Mexico is a land of good-sized cities. Its capital, which is away at the south, has more than 300,000 inhabitants. Gaudalnhara lias 100,000, and there arc a number of towns, the names of which are practically unknowc to us, which have twenty-five thousand and upward. It is a laud of many climates. Along J the coast you have the tropics with all of their rich vegetation, their fruits, and also, I learn, their timers aud tarantulas. In the higher mountain regions it is cold, but on this Mexican plateau you find the ideal climate of the world. This plateau constitutes the greater part of Mexico, and this may be called the climate of Mexico, Here the climate is the perfection of a pleasant June in Ohio the year around. The air is as pure as that which sweeps over Egypt from the desert io winter time, and south Italy and Greece can furnish no more beautiful skies than these. Think of a country where the crops grow in luxuriant greenness all the year. Where the rose grow9 into trees and flowers bloom forever. I saw yesterday men harvesting crops in one end of a field while other men were planting the same crops at the other. Upon parts of this plateau strawberries arc ripe during every week of the year and everything 6eems to grow at any time it is planted. The rale about Silao is two crops of wheat from the same ground a year and I see that in harvesting the wheat is pulled, root and all, from the ground, and this air and sun form the onty manure. This part of the Mexican plateau is .'ike a garden. There is some irragation, but iu many places the crops grow without it, and I rode for miles yesterday through lands which were as ncn as guano and as black as the rich soil that makes glad the valley of the Nile. The lands along the coast are, I am told, even richer than these uplands and the beautiful valley in which Mexico City is located is one of the garden spots of the world. Mexico City is about 7000 feet above the sea. The Mexican plateau is not, however, by any means all green. There are vast deserts like those of Arizona and Nevada, and in coming here through the great State of Chihuahua on the Mexican Central Railroad I traveled for two days tlirougn a Dimuiag ui uustj DUUU j in which the only green thing was the cactus, which grows there in all its beauty and in all its ugliness. These deserts are in some places fit for grazing and Mexicans tell me that on them are to be the great cattle-raising grounds 0f the future. Vast tracts of them will be redeemed by irrigation and thousands of acres have already been reclaimed. The land when irrigated makes splendid cotton ground, and one tract produced 37,000 bales last year. A number of new companies are now being formed and Americans are largely interested in them. The low lands which slope from the plateau down to the coast do noi need irrioration. Thev have an immense rain- | fall during the rainy season and vegetation grows as rank as that of tho juugles of India. The whole of this country partakes of the Orient. The moment you cross the Rio Grande you are in the landa of the romantic east rather than in the practical west. The air, the sky and nature are those of Palestine in spring time, ana the architecture reminds you now of Moorish Spain and again of the mud huts of Egypt. The people arc among the most picturesque on the globe. Every man is a fit subject for a painting, and the American artist, Mr. Church, who has 6pent seven winters in Egvpt sketching, says he finds Mexico a much more fertile Held than the well-worked countries-of Europe. As soon as I crossed the Rio Grande I saw at every station lusty brigand-like men, with handsome dark faces shining out from great eom breros, the crowns oi wmcn came 10 a point a foot above their heads, and thu brims of which seemed to be a foot wide all around. These hats were gorgeous in their silver and gold trimmings. Some of them had ropes of silver around them olmost as thick as vour wrist, and they formed only a part ot the glittering costumes of these Mexican dudes. The clothes below them shone with silver buttons and braid. The pantaloons of some of the men were striped with silver AN AZTEC MAIDEN. buckles, while to the waist of each, fastened bj a Uather belt filled with cartridges, hung a big silver-oiounted revolver. At many of the stations men dressed in this manner would gallop up on horses as gorgeously apparaled, and across the country we saw now and then troops of cavalry dashing over the fields. The costumes of the common people were fully as nicturosque, and both men and women presented rare bits of color and reminded us of the dance of the nations in a spectacular extravaganza. The lower classes of the msn of Mexico dress in cotton, but they wear blank ets of all the colors of the rainbow about their shoulders and they drape these around the nselve* i:? a way that adds dii?n:^y and grace to thorn. Many of these blankets are of red flanael and if you will take a blanket of this sort and throw it around your shoulders and over your back some morning as you bop out of bed in your snow-white pajamas, you will get some idea of the Mexican peon. Your hair, however, must be as black as the wing of the raven; you must stain your face with walnut juice, and put on your head ODe of these gorgeous sombreros in a more or less dilapidated condition. You must get a piece of dirty > sole leather so large that your G?ot can | stand in it and leave a half inch of space all around and tie this to your feet with leather strips, first cracking your heels and blacking the soles of your feet until . thcv look more rough and tough than I the leather itself. After you have done ' this you will present a faint caricature of the Aztec of 1 SO 1. You are now, nnlr the Aztec at rest. The : Aztec at work is a different matter, and ( GROUP OF PEON6. you will see him here in as many different occupations as are possessed by his brother fellow in the land of Egypt, j norrmc henw burdens of the I ? at vaiiiwo ""v j ? ? country upon his back. He lugs about I Mexican beer in pig skins as the Ben- j galee water carrier carries the water he , has for sale, and you see him m a hun- j dred different forms on every street and j in every one he is a new picture. Tbe women are as strange as tnemen, j though their plumage is less gay. Those of the wealthier classes are dressed in j black, aadjthe crowd at one of _the j cathedrals looks as"Though a" plague haa i struck the town and all the women were in mourning. In these interior cities of ' Mexico the better class women wear no ' hats and their heads are either bare or j covered with a black shawl, out of which their olive-complexioned faces shine and their dark lustrous eyes look at you with a strange wonder. There is no greater beautifier than black, and I believe these Mexican and Spanish women get a great part of their reputation for beauty from the clothes they wear. At first sight they appear handsome, but a close examination results in the discovery that the most of them are rather homely than otherwise and that " *** ? ^ 1 tt nnrltt Thf* TnHiftn AJJUUJ- U1V UV/V1UVU1 J U^IJ* women are much prettier than their wealthier sisters. They have a striking beauty when uniler age, but after thirty grow old rapidly, and hard work and poor food make them wrinkled and old at thirty-five. They arc more picturesque than the higher classes, and their dress takes you again back to the cast. They often wear dark blue cottons and about their heads they drape a cotton shawl or reboso, so that only the upper half of the face shows. Some of them wear bright red shirts and white waists and many of them go barefooted. The children of the Aztecs are more or less naked, generally more in the back dis tncts. i ne ciomes 01 an ar? as a *uio i cleanlier than those of other people's in the same condition of poverty, and the i self respect which they possessed (when under Montezuma they were the most civilized people on this continent) clings to them still, and many students of Mexican questions believe they are a yeople with a future. Odd Way of Raising: Water. The way water i3 raised in Hindostan is very odd and interesting. It is one of the most ancient methods, and with the old oaken bucket has come down the ages. In this machine a long beam, weighted at one end, is pivoted in a forked post and arranged to oscillate on its pivot. To the lighter end of the beam is connected a rod which is attached at its lower snd to a bucket, and the weight of the heavier end of the beam is more thao sufficient to lift a bucketful of water. Upon the beam is placed a THE riCOTAH OF IIIXDOSTAK. plank, and at the sides of the plank nro arranged hand-rails. The operator walks forward and backward upon the beam, thus alternately adding his weight to rhe lighter end of the beam and removing it therefrom, causing the bucket alternately to dip into the water and lift it to the surface, where it is emptied by another person. In some cases these machines are provided with steps to give a better foot- | hold. It is said that the operator upon these machines becomes so expert that the water never ceases running in the troughs leading from the well, and still his confidence is such, notwithstanding his apparently dangerous position, that he laughs, sings, smokes and eats in this peculiar situation. This machine is peculiar to Hindostan, and is known as the picotah. First Armored Ship. Tho first account we have of an armored ship i9 in 1530. It was one of the fleet of the Knights of St. John, entirely sheathed with lead. and said to have successfully resisted all the shot of that day. At the siege of Gibraltar, in 17S2, the French and Spaniards employed light iron bomb-proofing over their decks. The first | practical use of wrought iron plates a9 a defense for the sides Oi vessels was bJ the French in the Crimean war iu 1853, to be used against the Russian fort3 in the Baltic..?

"Mother often tells Aunt ITetty," said a housekeeDinir miss the other day, "to dip the end of the broom in a pail of water in "which she has poured a little ammonia?a teaspoonful to a gallon. The ammonia takes off the dust and refreshes the colors wonderfully. "We couldn't keep house without it." "A little coarse salt or some damp tea leaves strewed over a carpet before j sweeping adds ease to the cleansing pro- J cess," said Mrs. Downing, appearing on the scene and praising the girl for her 1 thoroughness. "The reason is that both the 6alt and tea leaves, beiug moist, ' keep down the light, floating dust, which j gives more trouble than the heavier. In sweeping take long light strokes, and do not use too heavy a broom." But avoid the use of tea "leaves on delicate colors, as they will surely stain | light carpets.?New York Journal. wnr the gilt on chin'a should be washed with warm watek. "There, that's the third complaint of the sort I have had this week," said a manufacturer of tine china, as he turned from the door through which a customer had just passed. "The third complaint this week, and I tell you it's getting monotonous." Of course, I admit the truth of the complaint, but none the les9 it is unjust to me, and to all other manufacturers. Of course, tta jjilt washe? off. It's bound to, considering"tlie way 1 it's treated. The lady who ju3t went out told me, in answer to my statements, that only the finest soap was used for washing her china, and yet the guilt all came off. When I told her that many of the so-called 'finest soaps contained chemicals that would eat the coating off from a cast-iron doorpost, she opened her eyes in mild surprise, and said the soap she used wasn't that kind. Slie always bought the very best sort she could get. It seems impossible to make the average woman understand that the most expensive and oftentimes most attractive looking soap3 are the most daugerous. They are bleached and 'processed' with chemicals, until they are positively unfit for use. Besides this, they use soap powders and dirt killers and easy washing compounds, and put anti-grease preparations in the water in which china is washed, and ? ~ AC ,'a a wnen tne gut an comes uu, tucic is a loud and angry growl at the worthlessness of the goods and the general degeneracy of trades and manufacturers, and waitings because things are not as good as they used to be. "If housekeepers would use homemade or pure, old-fa3hioncd soap, and very little of that, they would find that the gilt on old-fashioned china was no better than that which is used nowadays. "Indeed, it would be much better to use do soap it all for the finest pieces, and this is quite possible if the water is moderately hot and the china is washed and dried quickly. The gilt on china that is washed without soap will last for years and be as bright as when new. But this involves a great deal of painstaking, and more trouble than the average housekeeper is willing to take." So the advice and warnings of the manufacturer go for naught, and the gilt on the ehioa goes ths saaic way .? The Ltdjcr. RECIPES.

This comes from Paris, where there is a shop for the sale of ieline and canine wardrobes. A little dog caused a segsation od Fifth avenue, New York City, a few days ago. He seemed to be much ashamed of himself, and when he -saw any of his kind he 1.1 1 WOUIU glVU au L'X piuuuiuij nuiuu nuu shake himself, as if to say that it was not his fault if he looked like an idiot. No wonder he was unhappy, for he was arl rayed in a srMor 6uit of blue flanDel, ( with a wide sailor collar, embroidered with anchors, and a white tie. A saucy little sailor hat contributed further to his misery. In wet weather this delicate j pet was enveloped in a gossamer, and when his mistress gives receptions he ap1 pears in a tea gown of rose-colored silk, with long train and flowing angel sleeves. Another young girl attires her pet cat ?a white Angora?in a white china j silk cloak and a pink silk bonnet tied with dainty ribbons under its comical whiskers. More sane lovers of animals decorate their darlings with collars of gold, silver or leather, and others make wide ncck frills of china silk plaited in tiny accordion folds, and these are decidedly pretty and becoming, especially to dignified cats and frolicsome kittens. ? Chicago News. A Modern Catapult. Mr. Henrv Singleton, of Seneca, Mo., [ is of an inventive turn of mind, and after much thought and labor succeeded in manufacturing a steain catapult that would throw a five-pound missile a mile. Having built his engine, he desired to try it, and, renting an old mill in the onKv,i.Ke Vio un thft machine, nro vided a goodly pile of missiles, and proceeded to business. By an unlucky accident the village hotel chanced to be just in the range of the machine, and while Singleton was touching her off, watching the missiles fly off through the air, and hugging himself with delight at the success of his invention, the people in the hotel were taking the liveliest exercise in trying to dodge the strange hailstones that plumped down upon them in rapid succession, and wondering whence they came. But Singleton's triumph did not last long?a determined gang, well armed with shot guns and things, 6oon put a stop to his target practice, and to his catapult as well, and he was granted his life in consideration of his taking a lengthy vacation.?
