Scenes of Stualitl Misery.
A City of Mexico letter to the Boston
Derail says: In a walk of five minutes
from the door of a house in which we
gathered treasures of art and splendid
book collec tions, where the decorator and
upholsterer have wrought their marvels
of tate and comfort, you may go through
a lane, hidden behind a high wall, where
more than 150 Indians, clud each in two
simple garments of coarsest woven blue
cloth,lie in adobe huts ranged each side
of a dirty ditch which carries with its
fi ithy water more than the seventy stinks
of Cologne. The interior of theso huts
contain only the simplest urticlcs of use
a straw mat on the dirt for a bed, a
few bits of pottery for culinary use, and
that is all absolutely nil. The women,
strange, uncouth creatures, with long
black hair gathered in coarse braids,
almost always with a child as brown as
burnt umber and as dirty as you can,
think, strapped on the back, with faces
destitute of intelligence the faces of
souls never awakened these are the
female savages of a famous metropolis.
These women make a coarse sort of tor
tilla, which they sell to a very low class
of common laborers. The men, equally
unkempt, with brutish faces, are car
boneros sellers of charcoal.
They are a sort of squatters; their
former homes were among the moun
tains, but they are now camped in a city
with whose real life they have no con
nection. They are the pariahs of society,
lower than the lowest, living lives that
6eem not human, and making one feel
that the only justification of their ex
istence is the Buddhistic doctrine of
transmigration, or the Darwinian doc
trine of evolution. What is so repulsive
as the human face lacking intelligence f
A dog is re-pectable in comparison, lie,
at least comes up to the idea of what he
should be.
One day, examining a house which
was under repair, 1 climbed a short lad
der at a back wall, and, looking over,
was paralyzed with astonishment it
was like a "peep into the "dark conti
nent" of Stanley a whole narrow lane
filled with savages, a swarming plague
spot, a horribly repulsive conjunction of
w ild people. Then I began to realize
what lay concealed bcind the walls of
the Aztec capital. Probably these peo
ple have not changed since the days be
fore tho conquest. They still talk their
queer language, a curious jargon, filled
with touuds unfamiliar to our ears.
When you chance on a settlement of
these people, it gives you an idea of how
far our Caucasian race hits traveled from
its origin, and what civilization means.
A walk of only five minutes, at the
most, from the lower end of the alameda,
or public garden, will take you to a sec
tion rapidly building up with houses of
a good class. It U a section where the
land is, perhaps, two feet higher than in
the centre of the city. These new streets
are paved, and along one of them the
, electrict light gives nightly illumination.
'. Being a new section part of it the gar-
den of the now confiscated convent of
San Fernando there are some vacant
lots where a number of' poor laborers
have sqnatted, taking the left-over rem
nants of houses, blocks of refuse stone,
etc., to make their huts, or jacales, as
they are called. Hero in this section,
amid new houses, graceful, with pretty
patios, filled with well-to-do jieoplef live,
in their huts, the families I will intro
duce you to. They are not the sort of
Indiana I have just been talking about,
but a higher grade, and with some am
bition to rise in the world.
Let us take this queer, tent-like hut in
a vacant lot where workmen are just be
ginning house-building operations. A
.New hngland lad, playing at being a red
Indian in his father's back yard, would
disdain such a wigwam. It is made of
pieces of half-rotteu board, some refuse
tin rooting, and a decayed straw mat.
Its capacity is about that of four per-
sops, packed close. This is the home
of Jose and imona, an industrious
married pair, who have in family a
grown up daughter and her.nusband, the
latter working away trom me borne ana
coming there only to sleep, as Simona
savs, and then 1 wonder now they can
find room to sleep in that tinv hut. Si
mona and her married daughter make
tortillas, which the latter peddles on the
streets of the poorer sections of the town.
This daughter has two little children.
one a bright-looking lad of three, whose
brown skin shows through his ragged cot
ton shirt, and the other a tiny girl of two,
who is clad in a bit ot an old cotton re
boso of tho mother's. The work which
Jose has is precarious. In a neighboring
street the residents hire him to sweep
and water the pavement in front of their
doors, and he sometimes earns three
realcs a duv, or thirty-.-even and a half
cents, equal to about thirty cents Amur
ican money. Tho daily food of this
family, when Jose is working regularly,
consists ot irnoles, tortillas and chile,
When Jose is out of work, the women
must earn enough to support the family.
und Simona assures us that there is then
"muy pneo," which could be translated
"mighty little." Industrious wonran ! A
day of steady toil does not bring her a
iiroht of over twelve and a halt cents.
House rent they cannot pay, so they have
to squat in vacaut lots. They have no
hope in life, and consequently no ambi
tion.
Sad is the death of the little children
of the city poor. A tiny coffin is hired.
a few flowers brought, and the little fu
neral procession may con-ist only of the
father rarrying his dead bahy on his
head, the mother coming behind, and
perhaps it brother ot the dead baby.
Often the women do nt ;o out to the
burying place, but only the men of the
fumily. One (lav, lr. the Kreut plaa.
amid the din of holiday music and the
life and animation of a crowded public
place, I saw a poor woman, a widow.
buying flowers to put on her dead child's
rotlin, which she, alone, was to take on
her head to the graveyard. It was a
pathetic picture, not to he forgotten.
Above the gradi! of the Indians and
the squatters on tho vacant lots are the
poor mechanics, the worst-paid p -ople of
the cla--s I have ever seen. 1 know good
compositors whose daily earnings ras
fifty cents a day, r forty c uts Ameri
can money. I have hem i very juir c ar
penter, who did a neat job, wholuldrte
hit i.0 t but litty cents a d"j AH hf t
goes. And these people have no idea of
labor unions, of strikes, or of doing any
better In the world. That is perhaps the
most hopeless as poet of the case. Dis
content is a spur, and may lead to- work
ingrocn getting a fairer share of what
they create by their toil. But no Bos
ton met hnnio who should see these peo
ple I have described could consider him
self anything less than a pampered son
of nineteenth century civilization.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
A Great Mistake.
Sifting tho flour and baking-powder
togother, as most recipes prescribe, is a
great mistake. Baking powder should
never bo added until everything else is
in the dish and tho mass thoroughly
beaten. The reason will be appreciated
by every thoughtful person. The mo
ment the milk or other liquid comes in
contact with the powder effervescence
begins and by the timo the dough is
reRdy for the oven it has entirely ceased
and the mass is likely to be as "dull,
stale, and profitless " as a glass of second-hand
soda-water. If all the other
ingredients are well beaten, the powder
added at the last moment, and the cake
Eut into the oven as hurriedly as possi
le, the process of effervescence will bo
assisted by the hca. and the dough will
rise in a light, spongy mass. This is the
secret of the extra-fine cake and biscuit
that many non-professional housekeepers
boast of. , '
Care of the Hands.
In cool weather comes the liability to
chapped hands, and the discomfort of
theso is more trying than their unsight-
Iiness. Y nn care the bands may be
kept smooth even by those who handle
the dishcloth. For cleansing the hands
use oatmeal instead of soap, or a little
ammonia or borax in the water they are
washed in. Be careful to dry them thor
oughly every time they are washed, and
then to apply a little vaseline or cold
cream, wiping the hands after the appli
cation. Osalic acid, in a weak solution,
will remove stains, or what is better, a
bit of lemon, for oxalic acid is poison and
must not be permitted to touch an
abraded part of the skin. At night rub
oatmeal over the hands and wear a pair
of kid gloves a size or two largo. This
is especially for those who, alter their
housework is done, sit down at the
piano, or occupy themseWes with fine
sewing or silk embroidery.
Four Soaps.
Helen Campbell says in the Omaha
Bell: Here are four rules for four soups,
each one flavorous, nourishing, satisfac
tory, yet not an ounce of meat required
in "either. They have been made for
years, are instantly adopted when once
tested, and yet, somehow, though they
have been included in cook books and
been taught in cooking schools, they are
still unknown to the average house
keeper. ,
Tomato Soup. One quart can, or
twelve fresh tomatoes; two small on
ions; one small carrot; half a small
turnip; some sprigs of parsley; one
clove; one quart of boiling water; all
cut fine and boiled one nour. As tne
wat(r boils away add more, so that the
quantity may 'remain the same. - Put
through a sieve ; return to fire and sea
son with one even tablespooonful each
of salt and sugar and a s'altspoonful of
pepper. Cream a tablespoonful of but
ter with two of flour, adding hot soup
until it pours easily. Four into the
soup; boil five minutes and serve with
toasted crackers or dice of fried bread.
Salmon Soup, or Pcreb of Salmon.
One small can, or a pound of salmon,
freed from all skin, bones, etc. una
quart of milk; one teaspoonful of butter
and two of flour; one teaspoonful of salt
and a saltspoonfulof pepper. Fut over
the milk in a double boiler, and when it
boils add seasoning and the butter and
Hour, which have been creamed together
and thinned by a half cup of boiling
water, liun through a sieve with potato
masher, return to lire for a minute and
sCrve very hot. A small portion of the
salmon will remain in the sieve, and
makes a nice breakfast dish by adding
an equal amount of mashed potato, or
of cracker or bread crumbs, making in
small cakes and frying brown. Moisten
them in mixing with a little of the
soup.
Potato Soup. Six large or ten medi
um size potatoes; one quart of milk;
half an onion minced; one stalk of cel
ery or a teaspoonful of celery salt; one
tablespoonful of flour; one teaspoonful
of salt; one saltspoon of pepper.: one
tablespoonful of butter. Wash and peel
otatoes, let them lie in water half nn
lour or so, and then boil till soft. In
the meantimo boil the milk in a double
boiler with the onion and seasoning.
Mash the potatoes after the water has
been drained off and add to the milk.
Fut through a sieve and return to sauce
pan. Melt the tablespoonful of butter,
and when it bubbles add the flour ; stir
a moment and pour into the soup hot.
hhould the soup seem too thick, add a
cup of hot milk or water. This may be
varied by using a tablespoonful of
chopped parsley instead of celery, and
two eggs may be beaten light and
added.
Bean Soup. One quart of any kind of
dried beans soaked over night, three
quarts of cold water, three onions, one
lajge spoonful of butter or beef drip
pings, half a carrot, one tablespoonful of
salt, quarter of a saltspoonful of red pep
per, a stalk of celery or a saltspoonful of
celery salt. Cut up the onions and brown
them in the butter or drippings; then
put all ingredients over the fire together
and boil very slowly five or six hours.
Hun all through a coarse sieve; return to
fire, and if there is any separation of the
beau from the liquid add one tablespoon
ful of corn-starch or flour dissolved.iu a
little water and boil for a minute. A
dove or two is often boiled with the
be:ms, and a cup of milk or cream en
riches the soup. A can of tomato added
makes another change, and a little pork
can always be used if desired, while the
remains of baked beans make an excel
lent soup.

K. V. C. l I., Into of the Jtoyal Navy, of
KiiKlniiil, bna Rot iuto irofexNional trouble
for writing the following open letter to the
sditorof the Iondon t'mmihi I'txtor:
"I IxMiove' it to ho tho duty of every phynl
clnn to ninke known any menus or remedy
whereby Kickiioss can he prevented, auil It is
for this purpose I w ritu to give mv expe
rience lioth liore and abroad. I ask the pub
lication of th" Btntomont that K'ople mav be
warned beTore it is too late, to say to them
that there is at hand a means by which they
may lie restored to perfect health. It Is well
known to the medical world, and ludeed, to
tho laity, thnt a certain disease is making a
terrible havoc; that next to consumption it
is the most fatal, nnd thnt when fully devel
oped there is nothing to be dono for tho suf
ferer." "l'hysicinus nnd scientists have long been
tryinp; to throw lisrlit upon tho enuso, and if
possible, find in tmtnre a medicine for this
fatal malnilv. They have shown, absolutely,
that the bloocl-purifviiiK organs of vital im
portance are the kidnevs, nml that when
they once fail, tho poison which they should
takeout of the blood is tarried by the blood
into every jiart of the body,' developing
disease."
"In my hospital practice in KnIand, In
dia and South America, and also while a
surgeon in tho Hoynl Navy of Ureat Britain,
I pave a prent deal of attention to tho study
of diseases of the kidneys and urinary organs,
and found thnt not only was the cure of
chronic Bright' DNenso hopeless, but that
kidney disease Was remarkably prevalent,
much more so than generally kuown,nnd was
the cause of the majority of cases of sickii-,
and further, thnt the medical profession ban
no remedy which exerts any absolute control
over these organs in disease."
"Some tiineago when 1 had a case which re
sisted all regular treatment, which is very
limited, coinpln ated with the passing of
stones from tho kidneys, much aaninst my
will I permitted my ) atient to use Warner's
afe cure, of which f hud heard marvelous re
sults. In his case the result was simply mar
velous, as the attack wns a severe one, nnd
development very grave, for an analysis
showed per cent, of alb imcn aud granular
tube casts,"
"The action of the medicine was singular
and incomprehensible to mo. I had never
seon anythiug like it. The patient recovered
promptly, and is to-dny a well aud healthy
man. This stimulated my inquiry into the
merits of the remedy, and after analysis I
found it to be of purely vegetable character,
harmless to tako under all circumstances."
"Casting aside nil professional prejudice, I
gave it a thorough trial, as I was auxiuue
that my patients should be restored to health,
no matter by what medicine. I prescrilied
it iu a great variety of ases, Acute.Chronic,
Bright's Disease, Congestion of the Kidneys,
Catarrh of tho Bladder, and in every in
stance did it speedily ellect a cure."
"For this reason I deem it my duty to give
to the world this statement regarding the
value of Warner's safe cure. 1 make this
statement on facts I am prepared to produce
and substantiate I appeal to physicians ot
large practice who know how common and
deceptive diseases of the kidneys are, to lay
aside professional prejudice, give their
patients Warners safe cure, restore them to
jerfect health, earn their gratitude, and thus
be true physicians, "
"I am satistled that, more than one-half of
the deaths which occur in Kngluud are
caused, primarily, by impniied action of the
kidneys, aud the consequent retention tu.the
blood of the poisonous uric nnd kidney acid.
Warner's safe cure causes the kidneys' to ex
pel this poison, checks theescapeoi' albumen,
relieves the iurtmii'imtion and prevents ill
ness from impaired and impoverished blood.
Having had more than seventeen yenrs' ex
perience iu my profession, I conscientiously
and emphatica'ly state thut I have lieuu able
to give more relief and eilect more cures by
by the use of Warner's safe cure. than by all
the other medicines ascertainable to tho pro
fession, the majority of which, L am sorry
to say, are very urn ertain in their action."
"Isn't that a straightforward, manly let
ter "
"Indeed it is."
"Well, but do you know the author bos

"How so? What has lie done to merit itf
"Done? Ho lias spoken the truth "out of'
school,1 nnd his fellow physicians, who want
tho public to think they have a monopoly in
curing diseases, are terribly angry with him
foradmitting professional' inability to reach
certain disorders.
"That latter created a wonderful sensation
among the titled classes and th" public. This
jarred the doctors terribly. The College of
tSurgeous and Queen's College, from which
inst itut ion he was graduated, asked for an
explanation of his unprofessional conduct,
aud notified him that unless ha made a re
tractiou they would discipline him.
"The doctor replied that he allowed his pa
tients to make use of Warner's safe cure only
after all the regular methods had Jailed,
and wheu he was satisfied that there was no
possible hope tortliem. Upon their recovery,
after having used Watuer'safe cure, he was
so much surprised that lie wrote the above
letter to the Famil i Do-tor. He regretted
that the faculties found fault with his action
iu the matter, but he could not conscien
tiously retra t tho facts as written to tho
1'a.md i iJortnr. ,
"The faculties of both colleges replied that
unless he retra tod they should cut him off,
woich would naturally . tlfbar him from.

prevent his securing another appointment in

The illustrious doctor's dilemmu is certain
ly an tinpli asant one, emphasizing, as itdoes,
both his own honesty aud the contempt ibis

GBirrs: For the past winter I have been
very badly afflicted with rheumatism. About
six weeks ago was confined to my bed, and
whenever 1 was able to get around, was
obliged to use crutches. All the time I had
the best medical attendance.
After one week's use of Dr. Pardee's Reme
dy 1 was able to walk with a cane. I con
tinued its use and can now move around
without assistance of any kind, and am better
iu health than 1 have been for years. It has
effected a permanent cure and I take pleasure
in recommending it. C. R. FINNEUAN.
