OF BEAUTY AICD BANALITY CURIOUS MIXTURE IS SEEN IN MEXICAN HOUSES. Ancient European Furniture and Then Comes a Modern Pianola. From some church tower --steeples are rare in Mexico you will gat the lie of the city, and, whichever city it may be, the view will be curiously the same—an inner clump of two - storied houses on asphalt atreeta and long suburban vistas of squat houses of one floor alone. Occasionally there will be an Am- erican colony, where there are other types of houses standing in gardens, but the typical house in Mexico is built of thick adobe walls, pierced by windows which are carefully grated, and shuttered off from the world by doors of heavy oak, behind which there is always a gate of iron bars. If it be your excellent fortune to be invited within one of these old-fashion- ed houses, you will find, writes a Lon- don correspondent, it strangely a mixture of the old with the new. The metallic filament lamps swing from wooden beams that were carved in Spanish days; the phonograph plays you the Merry Widow across a foun- tain that through age no longer holds a drop of water; the sewing machine tats its quick stitches to the pedal- ling of a crone of 70, who is a re- tainer of the house since the days of the grandfather; the telephone rests on its bracket beneath an ancient sword, relic of The War of Independence. You are standing at the door of iron bars, having pressed the button of an electric bell, and a brown -faced Indian maid admits you with an enormous key to the patio, the most natural and beautiful feature of the house, for in the patio you are almost in a garden. Symmetrical lines of gigantic flower pots, mounted on pedestals of the same brown, glazed ware, spread a riot of colors and a very passion of tropia scent, so that you look and gasp at once, doubting if this email heaven truly can exist within these thick and uninviting walls. Birds 4n cages twitter in the shadow of the colonnade. Yon are recalled to your proper senses by the sight of a rug spread upon the glazed tiling of the floor. It is a rug of sixteen colors, all talk- ing loudly, and it is very sad to see' it there. Looking farther, you observe a hatrack of enseeming mederr}1ty and two rocking chairs from Austria known commonly as bentwood, flank- ing a stiff settee of the same hideous device. On the walls of the colonnade around the patio you discover that there are painted pictures, done on the walls' themselves so as to form panels. They do not bear inspection without grief, for one will be of Mary feeding her lamb, if conjecture be a guide in such matters, while the next will represent a full-rigged steamship carrying all sail and much smoke across a very angry looking sea of a purple shade, while another looks something like a lost green box on a railroad plat- form, but Represents a Mountain. On every side there are tall doors, always opening In the middle and fitting badly, for the rains play havoc with all woodwork. If the house beon the corner of a street, then the rooms on the two sides of it will possess windows, but if it be in the centre of the street, then these doors into the patio are all the , way there is for sun and air to enter, save et. the front of the mansion, Every room, communicates with every other room, so that one could make a complete circuit of the house without ever entering the patio.

The extra- ordinary solidity of the brass bed calls your attention to the fact that your host is A Wealthy Man, and it is by the splendor of the brass beds that people are judged In Mexico, The bed has a knitted woolen cover done in stripes of yellow and green. At the head of it there is a sham, while the long and uncomfortable - looking pillows, stuffed hard with ticking, reside at its foot for no other reason but that this is customary. You find no knack -knacks, no photo- graphs, none of the little oddments that make hone. The room 1s as barren as that of an hotel. All the time you note that legions of servants are to be seen doing no- thing at all. The cook earns ten pesos per month; the housemaids get eight pesos; the mono has his fifteen pesos, whloh, taken altogether in a lump equals about the wage that a Swedish gIr1•ot•all-work makes with her single bare arm. i The Mexican servant is a kindly soul, infinitely gifted with the love of pilfering, but dishonestly attached to his master, who generally puts up with a vast deal more than masters in other parts of the world would permit. In fact, the patriarchal system plays a large part in the economy of the Mexican household, and old retainers are kindly housed and fed long after their years of actual usefulness have Passed.

The comptroller thinks the amend- ment to the Criminal Code passed last session with regard to the car- rying of firearms ought to strength- en the hands of the police greatly. The force has been iner.eased by 1.09, and now comprises 55 officers and 708 non-commissioned Officers and constables. The report is replete with stories from the lonely trails of the far North, showing the great difficul- ties often experienced in locating and apprehending criminals and bringing them out to civilization for trial. Drunkenness among the Indiana in some of the districts is reported to be increasing. Murder from slight provocation results in many instances.

A. report comes from Germany to the effect that the iriedmann treatment bee been planed at the disposal of the medical profession 1 and that utwat it hes e a res received a new and more favorable hoar - Ing, Professor Kraus says that it is evi- dent that something surprising' is be. fore the medical world and that in the case of experiments alreadymade there wee 'an unusually rapid dcline" of the symptoms. Ito has "never aeon such re, mita .with tuberculin," and much more to the same effect, Other testimony is that of Dr. Simon Barnoh of Now York, .who says that "German physioiane seem to have withdrawn their opposition." and adde that if Friedmann had not acted in so eccentric a manner while to America be would have made a morn favorable impression, This all sounds rather curl ous eine, 1t was underetood at the thee that full teats had been made of the Fried- mann remedy and that it was found to be ineffective. in fact it woe said to be peeltively harmful. Now it seems that German physicians are amazed at the successful results of this same treatment. Was the Investigation too oonservntive? What Remains to be Settled? Major Stewart L. Murray of the Gordon Highlanders and ono of the bast -known British authorities on the coonomice of war make the British public to realize for themselves the moaning of a conflict with Germany. He says that even with the British fleet in command of the seas the price of food would. bo at the famine notch. Thos, who could afford to pay that pricewouldget food and those who could not afford to pay that price would get no food. The latter obese will inolude about 10,000,000 people, and they "will not starve Quietly." Here aro ten million people who, aeeording, to Major Murray, will starve under even the most favorable conditions of war, and there are probably another ten million people In Germany who also would starve In about a week after a declaration of war. It seems that the drawing together of Germany and England is very necessary to the happi- ness of both peoples. What remains to be settled? In it on sea or on land? Is it a question of changing a polioyf The interest of both peopled fa towards pones —what then leads to wart Is 0 such in. oldents ae have 000urred at Zabern which indicate the real policy of Germany? Agrloulture Is the Foundation. Prosperity built upon artificial inflation la woree than preoarious. Prosperity built on the development of productive enter- prises not only endures but presides the assurance of still greater development. That is the lesson which BTr George Paieh has been impressing on the people of Can• oda when he said that British money must be devoted to the encouragement of land eettlement. Agriculture is, and must be, the foundation on whloh the fabric of the Dominion tests. No endeavor is too great which has for ale objeot the promo• than of land'produotion and cheap and easy distribution. The simple foot is that Canadians have ptrasn to hard providedtransportation mhinymuch in excess of their immediate requirements. What they have now to do is to inoresee the volume of legitim ate busiuose. No one who knows the natural recourses of the Dominion doubts that this can be done to an extent far beyond existing limits. But to do it means much less of the pare- sltical element in the community and many more real workers and producers. Lt meane too that parliament and the logislatul's ghouid concern themselves not so much with the game of politics as with the encouragement and expansion of pt'o- ductive- effort. Temperature Ahead. We closed the year 1913 with 600 degrees of temperature to pay back. That ie, dor. ing the year the thermometer showed 600 degrees above the normal. Now, if it la paid back in January and Pebruary we will not have very much winter. But it. will likely work the other way, and we will probably pay for that boat, and if we do before opting dawn we will have a cold time of it. Thu, far there has been little demand either way. If the weather kind does not demand his 600 degrees of heat and replace it with the same amount of cold we shall fear there has been some comical commotion some. where -the sun bas become sultry or the earth has twitched about a little on ate axis. Bub in the meantime we have been treated royally and have been favored with weather that has made the heart glad and the appetite leapfor joy, Franc, Will Limit Saloons. Once again the opponents of alcoholism in Prance are making an effort to re• strict, the sale of spirits by placing a limit on the number of saloons. Por years! bills have been introduced regn• burly into the Senate, passed and sent down to the Chamber of Deputies. But to the latter body be vested interests have always been' able to muster a majority, wbioh hoe promptly shelved the measure, with the result that saloons have Morena - ed at an alarming rate, At the present time there le no effective way of limiting the number of saloons. Aocording to the most reliable 'figures there are now about 480,000 such placee to Prance. Thie works out as one for every 82 inhabitants, equivalent to 0110 for every 25 adults. In Germany there is only one public- house for every 246 inhabit ants, one for every 360 In the United Btstce, ono for every 430 in Iingiand, while In Norway 9,000 people on an average have to depend upon every saloon. In Parte alone there aro 33,000-esbabliohmente *here spiritsare sold for consumption on the premises, or ono for every 34 yarde.

Catastrophe Predicted Often Since Fourth Century. 'Predictions of the end of the world hu$ o been a amine of terror to many peoples through many cen- turies. S t Augustine, z S.A us a inthefourth g , century, conceded only a few years of respite to the human species be- fore the end of time, says the In- dianapolis News, In the ninth century, in several countries• of continental Europe, the people be- gan to make preparation for the destruction of the world, then pro- phesied to be near at hand. They abandoned their fields and their workshops and threw themselves at the foot of the altar; they gave their goods to the churches and monasteries. The end was to come with the beginning of tate thou- sandth year of the Christian era. The fatal day came. But the sun continued to shine in the vault of the heaven, the stars remained in their places, and the people return- ed to their customary pursuits. But the prophets were not discouraged, and Arnault de Villeneuve, a Frenchman, fixed the date for the finish in 1388, and again a mistake, had been made in the direful horos- cope, Next came Johann Stoffer, a German astrologer, 'who announced that the world would bo over- whelmed by a deluge in 1521, and a worthy theologian of Toulouse con- structed an ark. In 1599 the end of the world was' announced in Trance, and the wild- est terror prevailed. Henry IV., who had not been any too good a Protestant and was no better as a Catholic, laughed at this predic- tion. Then he -became serious and issued an edict forbidding his sub- jects to talk about anti-Ohrist and the last judgment. The latest pro- phet of any note was an Italian, a snonk of Padua, who died at the ago of 90, a day or two after the exaltation of Pope Leo XIII. He left a prophecy giving a list of the Popes, ton in number, who should reign before the end of the world should come. And these are the names: First, the present Pope, Pius X., then will come Paul VI., Pius XL, .Gregory XVI., and so on, concluding with Peter II., who will occupy the Papal chair when the end comes. As Popes reign an average of 12 years each, the grim prophet only allows a cen- tury more of the world and then all will be over. This prophecy, how- ever, has never been accepted with anything like the seriousness with which it. was given. FRRIEND.LY `PIP. Restored Hope and Confidence. .After several years of indigestion and its attendant evil influence on the mind, it is not very surpl'ieing that one finally loses faith in things generally, . An :Eastern woman writes an in- teresting letter. She says: Three years ago I suffered from an attack of peritonitis which left me in a most miserable condition. For over two years I suffered from nervousness, weak heart, shortness of breath, could not sleep, etc. "My appetite was ravenous but I felt starved all the tinio.

Supper, by the10 aaverely dealt with by proverb -makers of many nationalities, Supper and Sorrow. The. Spaniards have a proverb chi a • ' ' 1 r o kills more chs3s,'1Jesrppr ishan Avicenna euros"--Avi.cenna being a famous physician of ancient times. In Denmark they say "More peo- ple are killed by supper than by the sword," ""From a groat supper comes a great pain; that you may 01007 lightly, sup lightly," is the i.•rens- lation of a mediaeval Latin Pro- verb. Against these condemnations of supper may be set "Who 011715 well • sloops well," and "'Who goes sup- perless to bed all night tumbles and tosses." "`Well," however, in the first proverb probably means "`wisely," while the second saying merely states the truth, and that if you go to heel after a lung fast you will be ,wakeful. "Eat tin you're cold, And you'll live to grow old. Eat till you're hot, And you'll die on the spot," may at first sight be a little puzzl- ing. What it means is that the normal and easy digestion of a light meal withdraws the blood from the skin, whereas the indigestion due to eating too much causes the skin to flush. Another saying: "Cold after eating is a sign of long life," expresses the same idea. There is a world of wisdom in the advice given to wealthy and over- fed patients by that blunt and fam- ous physioisn Dr. John Abernethy. To them he used to stay; or rather, shout: "Live on sixpence a day, and earn it t" Butcher v. Doctor. Doctors come in for same shrewd slaps from. the proverb makers. "Bettor pay the butcher than the doctor" is one saying, but against this may bo put "Much meat, many maladies." "The poor man's physic lies in his garden" is first-rate advice, Par too many of us fly to drugs, and neglect the natural medicines of fruit and vegetables, Sir Philip Sidney said: "The rules of health and long life are moderate diet, open air, easy la- bor, free from care." We may nob be able to command the last three essentials, bub we can the first. Is it good to be lively at meals Well, there are the proverbs "A cheerful look makes a dish a feast,". and "It is good to be merry at meat." On• the other hand, "A lit- tle with quiet is the only diet," and "Cease your chatter and mind your platter," plead for quietness at meals. The truth is that lively, cheerflr - but not noisy or excited conversa- tion, helps digestion; while cliw- putes, political arguments, . and anger are fatal ;to it. This is well expressed in "Better is a dish of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith," and "]letter is a dry morsel and quiet- ness therewith, titan an house full of feasting with strife," Their Late 'Breakfast. There is another recipe for long life : "To rise -at six and dine at ten, to sup at six anti go tobed at ton, will make a man live ten times ten," Provincial Frenchmen of to • - day .follow this advioc pretty close- ly. ' T.hey Hee early and, save for coffee and rolls, have nothing .1111 about 11 o'clock, when they have a bi:oakEast which is practically adin- ner, and they have their next• meal about, six. In conclusion, More are same ran- dom examples: "Leave elf with. an appetite" (French); "Everything in exaesa is inimical to Nature" (Hil�- pocrates); "Phe glutton digs his grave with his teeth" ; "ll"eastings aro ,physicians' harvest=s"; "Sine faits'slrty 'main than the sword" (Scottish); and"Ite who eats but of one dish never wants (i.e., never lacks) At physician" (Thomas Bawe). • Coat wag first need at,Nlewcrtstle- oii-Tyne about the year 1280; and heoarne ae at.•tiele of trade between that fawn and London ono fifty years later, as
