IN AMEXICAN
-VILLAGE-
Typical Grocery Store,
THE little village of Panuco de
Coronado, in the state of Du
rango, presents an average
Mexican village, one that can
be duplicated anywhere in the
northern two-thirds of the country. It
is typical even in its legend- all min
ing towns here have the same. Once
upon a time its mines yielded so much
rich ore that the owner could pave
with silver the street leading from
his house to the church on the occa
sion of his daughter's marriage.
Panuco, like all Mexican villages, is
a transplanted bit of the orient.
There is the same small, low adobe
house with fiat roof and no chimney
and usually no window. Women carry
the same; jars of water on their heads
and men clad in loose white cotton
trudge lazily behind their little burros
or more likely add their weight to the
already overburdened animals. The
glaring sun beuts down from a trop
ical sky on the same palm and cactus
and a general air of emptiness and si
lence pervades the streets.
The universal building material is
adobe, which is faced witti plaster only
in the better houses. These are al
ways built in the form of a hollow
square—the rooms opening into the
patio in the center. The more pre
tentious homes have windows, barred
on the outside because the houses are
built snug up to the street, which
gives them the appearance of cells in
a prison.
Village Scenes by Day.
There is no patch of green or any
thing bright, to relieve the uniform
dust brown color of house and street,
writes Jessie Fawler in the Los An
geles Times. No spear of grass is in
sight and aii the flowers are kept
in the patio. The particular village
can boast of two trees, one cottonwood
on the outskirts and one pepper berry.
To enter one of these huts is to
step in on a mud lioor, rarely a brick
one, to see a few earthenbowls and
saucers in one corner, a little pile of
charred ashes in another and a rude
altar made of a couple of packing
boxes, .decorated witli a few gaudy
bits of tinsel and scraps of ribbon and
empty beer bottles with withered flow
ers, an offering to the virgin of
Guadaloupe who looks down from the
wall. Chairs, bed and table are lux
uries not commonly found. Mexican
women are fond of flowers and the
patios are bright with blossoms
throughout the year.
One traveler describes a Mexican
village as “sun, silence and adobe,"
and this is one's first and last, impres
sion. Whatever life it is around the
plaza; for away from here one sees
only an occasional water carrier or a
peon closely wrapped in his serape
squatting on the ground in the sun.
Pigs and dogs are everywhere. They
come from every open doorway and
follow us, yelping and barking. A
dozen dogs are not too many for an
average family. And the pigs—they
sleep in the middle of the street, and
not until our horses’ feet are almost
on them do they grunt and lazily move
a step to the right.
Hut in the evening all is changed
and the place is full of life and stir.
Everybody comes out to enjoy the
music and to stroll around and around
the plaza. Men and women do not
walk together unless married or en
gaged, but the men walk three or four
abreast on the inside of the promenade
and the women on the outside in the
opposite direction. Through the open
doors of the pulque shops may be
seen groups of men drinking the
nauseous beverage.
These shops, as well as all the
stores, are not known by the name of
their owner, but by some such fanci
ful names as "Flowers of May," "Aft
ernoons in April” and "The Surprise.”
No village is too small to have its
baud, and a good one, too, that plays
at the plaza one or two evenings a
week throughout the year. The na
tives are very musical and one hears
everywhere the tinkle of the guitar or
mandolin playing some native air, like
the plaintive "La Golodrina." or pos
sibly the latest importation from
home.
One does not need to read the sign
“Esquela para ninas” painted in big
black letters on a low plastered build
ing to know that it is a school for
girls, for the children study in concert
and —well, pulmonary troubles are not
common at this altitude. Primary edu
cation is compulsory throughout the
republic and so every village lias two
schools, one for boys and another for
girls.

at the mines stops for the day and
by seven o'clock the men and women
begin to gather around the office and
set up their little stands for the sale
of dulces, limes, pomegranates, sugar
cane and oranges. By nine o'clock the
place has taken on quite a holiday
aspect. (iroupH of senoras, each with
a black eyed baby in her lap, sit on
the ground and crochet lace or idly
gossip. Men wrap themselves close in
their serapes and wait stolidly for ten
o'clock, when they will be paid off.
All the people, men, women and
children, come from miles around on
foot, on burros, on ponies and in ail
sorts of nondescript wagons. The
hucendado comes in from some neigh
boring hacienda, looking very pic
turesque in ills silver bespangled
buckskin, while his pony, with silver
trimmed saddle is a match for his
rider. When they have all been paid
they must get rid of their money at
the store.
Each man wears around his waist a
square piece of white cloth folded
diagonally and tied so that the point
hangs down in the hack. This cloth
serves a double purpose; it acts as a
belt to Hold up the trousers and as a
receptacle for all purchases made.
The man removes this cloth, spreads it
out on the counter at the store and
fnto it are dumped his purchases—
packages of cigarettes, boxes of
matches, a few cakes of soap, two or
three kilos of corn and perhaps a
couple of meters of cloth.
No wrapping paper is used, but
everything, lard excepted, is dumped
into this cloth. Crackers he takes
either inside his hat or on the out
side. He never looks at the quality
or asks the price, for it is a case of
Hobson’s choice. Time is no object
with these people, so it is almost
night before the last one goes away.
The fiesta of Santa Cruz the day of
tlie Holy cross, is the minor’s day of
the year, when ail the mines through
out the country stop work. Crosses
are placed on all unfinished buildings
as well as a huge one in the plaza,
and are decorated with flowers, bits
of ribbon and glass, while around the
main cross aro placed palmitias with
their five feet stocks of beautiful
white flowers. There is incessant fir
ing of guns throughout the day and
the celebration ends with music and
dancing in the evening.
Denmark Eggs Heaviest.
The French chamber of commerce
in London has recently made an ex
amination of the egg market and as
certained that the largest eggs sold
there come from Denmark. The Dan
ish eggs are the most popular as well
as the heaviest. The great majority
of them weigh more than two and one
half ounces. average American
egg has been found to weigh as much
as the heaviest French eggs. This
Investigation classified the eggs as to
country only. Some years ago obser
vations were taken as to breeds of
hens. Records were made of the
weight of eggs that several hens of
well known breeds laid during a pe
riod of six months. It was found that
the largest eggs were produced by
light Brahmas, the average weight be
ing two and one-third ounces. Ful
lets’ feggs did not exceed two ounces
in weight.
The First Offense.
1 have seen very many first offend
ers and talked to them before they
got into the hands of pleaders and
others, and my experience tells me
that a man who has committed his
first offense is very like a man who
has caught his first attack of serious
illness. He is afraid not so much of
the results as of the thing itself. Sin
has caught him and he is afraid of sin.
He wants protection and help and
cure. He does not want to hide any
thing; his first need is confession to
some understanding ear. Many, many
such confessions have I heard in the
old days. That is the result of the
first offense. —H. Fielding-Hall, in the
Atlantic.

Swinging Jardinieres.
Our Oriental friends seem to have
solved .the problem of the summer
storm and the porch plants by using
swinging jardinieres made of split
bamboo and plaited grasses. We all
i know the havoc wrought among our
| beloved ferns by the sudden violent
| hursts of wind which come on hot
summer days and come, seemingly,
out of a clear sky, with scarcely a
moment in which to shelter the cher
ished potted plants. These jardinieres
of split bamboo hanging from the
porch roof by strands of plaited grass
just sway gently back and forth and
by so doing allow the plants to accom
modate themselves more readily to
the gusts of wind, and so little dam
age results. Besides their usefulness,
the beauty of these swinging jardi
nieres will appeal to any woman who
has an eye for the artistic. They are
almost the last word for prettiness
for the porch fitted up with hanging
screens and furniture of bamboo.
Quaint Critic.
George B. Luks, the painter, said to
a critic in his New York studio; "Your
criticism is at any rate original and
amusing, my boy. It reminds me of
the colored laundress in the Ftfizi Gal
lery. “When this colored laundress
visited the Vffizi, her mistress led her
up to Correggio's masterpiece.
"'There, Hannah, what do you think of
that?’ she said. "Hannah, shaking her
heod lugubriously, started a long while
at the pictured angels whose white
robes were all yellowed by time, and
then, with a sigh and a disapproving
shake of the head, she said: ‘De saints
is de last folks to put up wlv bad laun
dry work.’ ”

When a woman suffering from some form of feminine
disorder is told that an operation is necessary, it of course
frightens her.
The verv thought of the hospital operating table and the
surgeon’s knife strikes terror to her heart, and no wonder.
It is quite true that some of these troubles may reach a stage
where an operation is the only resource, but thousands o£
women have avoided the necessity of an operation by taking
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. This fact is
attested by the grateful letters they write to us after their
health has been restored.
