Th. Romantic Story cit, Be Founding
by the /Woo.
The story.o! the founding of the
City et Mexico is one of the roost ex-
traordinary toles in history. It hap.
penecl in 1325; at least it began a long
time before that, but was an acoOM-
plidled fact about 600 years ago.
In the filet place,.imagme an -al-
most inacceseible mountain crowned
with a valley at the height of 8.000
fret above the level of the sea. In
the centre of this valley was an bre
rnemse lake. When the Aztecs
rived0 led by the priests of the god of
war, they found it in the possession
of hostile tribes.
Far that reason and bemuse the
priests declared that in a certain part
of the lake where there stood an ele,
valet' of etonee an eagle had been
devouring a serpent they began the
construction of the city on this spot.
immediately oyer the deepest waters
of the lake. There had long existed
a prophecy among the Aztecs that
their wencieringo would end when
they should have reached a pine
where the prieste would behold an
eagle resting on a cactus plant de-
vouring a serpent.
Confident that they had found
the spot ordained to be their abiding
home, they began to construct rafts
of the trunks of frees, covering
them with thick layers of earth, uPou
which .they built rude huts of more
or less solidity. Groups of dwellings
soon began to form themselves in re-
gular order, thire determining the
primitive streets of the new city.
They also conatructed boats and
oars of differeet sizes useful in
peace and war, and while certain of
their number occupied themselves in
defending their homes and brethren
from the onalaughts of hostile tribes,
others „continued to improve and en-
large tbe city. Gradually the lake
was filled up, and terraces arose one
after another in the place onoe occu-
pied by the deep waters.
This was in itself a herculean
labor, uneurpassed in ingenuity and
durability by any similar work of an-
cient or modern times. Upon the first
of these terracee was constructed the
Teocalli, or rsacrificial temple. It was
begun in 1216 and not completed un-
til 1325, a little over 100 years, from
which time may be dated the efficial
foundation of Tenochtitlan, teday the
modern City of Mexico. •
A Chinese Proverb's Origin.
"He'll steal your shoes" is an ex-
pression which in China is used to
describe an arrant knave and pilferer.
•The expression is hundreds of years
old and is based on an adventure per-
petrated through the medium of de-
corated crockery ware. A wealthy
Chinaman, whose gorgeously embroid-
ered shoes were the envy of the com-
munity, was, according to the legend,
despoiled of his pride in the following
maneer: A raseel cme day -rushed up,
gave the rich man a hearty blow on
the back, and, seizing the astonished
gentleman's hat, pitched it upon a
high wall. The next Moment the fel-
low seemed to discover that it wart
not. a.n old friend he was greeting so
enthusiastically aod apologized pro-
fusely:
"How shall I get my hat?" inquired
the man with the beautiful shoes.
"jump on my back, and you ,can
reach it," replied the schemer.
The suggestion was carried out, but
while the hatless man WasS reaching
for his head co,vering the, rascal slip-
ped off the handsomeshoes and made
away, leaving the simple-minded neil.

THEIR HOPE,
.• THE PEOPLE
Muskoka's; Brave Battle for Needy
Consumptives.
It is poor consolation to needy cOn-
sumptives to say that the Government
should makeprovision for the thous-
ands who suffer and die from tuber-
culosis in Canada every year.
The Government should do a great
deal more than they have yet dreamed
of doing: But they are hot doing it,
and in the meantime twelve thousand
die annually in the Deminion, from
this dread disease.
AS the situation its to -day, what
wciuld be the fate ofmany consump-
tives in Canada were it not ter the two
Homes for Consumptives in Muskoka
that during the past eleven years,
against many odds, have cared for
upwards of three thousand patients in
the earlier stages of She disease,
whilst in the two sister institutions,
on the banks of the Humber, those in
the more advanced stages are treated.
This week in Muskoka is one of pure
philanthropy. From the day the first
patient was admitted to the Muskoka
Free Hospital for Censumptives in
April, 1902, not a single applicant has
ever been refused admission because of
his or her inability to pay. •
The Government contribute $1.50
per week per patient. The cost of
maintenance is $9.25 a week. The
difference in the cost of maintenance
of all needy pa,tients has through these
years been made up by private philan-
thropy.
The Secretary -Treasurer of the
Association, Mr. J. S. Robertson, 347
King Street West, Toronto, writes eis
that, with the financial depression of
the past year, the funds of the Muskoka
Free Hospital for Consumptives have
suffered greatly. At the commence-
ment of the winter season the Trustees
have to face a heavily overdrawn bank
account and have many obligations to
meet.
Despite these financial worriee every
applicant is receiving careful consider-
ation and patients are admitted as
promptly as beds are tniule vecatit.
All through these years the institu-
tton, has been litieinteAned, not by any
rich entlevielteet, for such does not
exist, bubby the generous contributions
of the messes of the people -the small
sums rather than the large one&
We frankly say that we do not knee*,
IA Our experience, of a more worthy
and deserving Charity, and our hope, is
that the readers of these linte will
respond to the appeal that's now Made
for funds for the Muskoka Free llospi.
tal for Consumptives.
