Do you know that one of the worst things you can do to a boy is to buy him poor- ly made, badly fitting clothes? You cut him off from one of the manliest virtues—personal pride.

About 'half way up the Sierra Nevada Moun- tain we found a spring cif fresh water, Which w,as here the, most welcome ble,ssing we could: enjoy. .Wet gat likely freshened up here; and start- ed to clirrfb again. We couldi make very little progress, but we kept pushing an, rising higher every day, but tette looking up. We kept on in this way 'roe five days loneer, be- fcire we reached the top of the moun- tain'. Sometimes we would find a level place to camp on; at other times we could hardly: get a, spot cm which to rest ourselves and our horses. We had always to stand guard, as we were never safe from! attacks from either robbers or Indians. One night, when, we were ca,mped right on top of the- mountain, some of-- the, !Poe set fire to a deed treee which was against eel relea. , We never made a- fire, when we eamped at night, if we could, avoid it, as it gave the Indians and robber,et chance to see vs before we could see them. This night we hed hardly lain down to meet when we, heard a noise just ontside the came. .We all jumped up .end ran away. frorni the fire.. .We had just get hidden ',behind the trees, when we saw tem half-breede come into the camp.

We: were one 'hunered end fifty miles from any settlement, so we held A emert-trairehel. They said they were carrying the trunk Tor, the mail - carrier, Who had gone two or three miles athead, to camp. .We did not be- lieve them, and SO kept one of them as hostege, and oent the other one after the mail -carrier, to see if 9,11 was correct. We all 'placed ourselves :behind trees except one man, who wee set to guard our prisoner with the (trunk. He was a Polieh Russia,n,and he had a, great large bowe Im.ife in his hand. He spoke US his prisoner in Spanise, shaking the knife in, his face and telling. him that he would wetch him as a cat watche,4 a mouse, and the firat gun ehat was fired hei would, cut his throat for him.

At the first town we reach- ed we were asked for passports, tut, having neglected to secure the,m at Alpasso before coming into Mexico, we were unable to sireseet them. How- ever, as we knew, the official could not read a word, we handed him an old !letter instead, which he looked at very iseriously for a While and, then handed; it tack with a nod. I could hardly keep my face Straight, a5 the paper ihad no 'bearing an passports 'whatever. Anyone travellIng through Mexico as we 'did could endorse every word that Solomon says about there being nettling 'new under{ the sun. The people here seemed. to Sive as we Mead of to the old Telsta,nrint. They weire sandals en thein teet. Every morning the women grind the corn hi a ettone slightly raised at one end and hollowed out in the eentre. They have a small stone with whien they rub. clown the centre with both hands. keeping the corn slightly wet and rubbing it into a. paste. They then rub. it out thin and cook tt j1.115t. like our 'pancakes. This is their bread and Is all the poorer classes ehrer get to eat. Where they got tee corn I never could find otet as we saw little corn growing when ,wei travelled through their icountry, and, on ec- count of the great scarcity of rain. there, it was almost impossible ,for anything to grow. Some places they had net had a drop of rain for three see mid he 9.11 that was done and seers. We saw Who grandest sights here said.
