Sholty, 609 Monroe St. CITIES OF MEXICO (Continued from page 3.) great bales on the backs of donkeys going to market. The coarse outer husks are used for fodder. Then the cattle are turned in the field and eat the leaves and some of the stocks. When they will eat no more it is gathered in bales for wood. When the ground is plowed for a new crop, and the roots are turned up, then these are shaken free from dirt and used for fires. Wood is very scarce in a great part of Mexico. We have seen Indian women with small armfuls of twigs and a few corn stalks. She had probably been a couple of hours in gleaning I near the mountains. Wood is not so scarce, but it is small, brought in bun- : dies on backs of donkeys. Charcoal : is used a great deal. The Indians in the mountains burn it and bring it to the cities for sale. Let me speak here of the washings lest I forget it. It is done on the stones ■ by the river, or puddle—wherever water is to be found, for this is the . dry season. It is the primitive way ; of washing clothes. They Lang the clothes on bushes or stones or lay them on the bank to dry. Soap is 1 very scarce and high. I do not see ‘ how the people keep as clean as they do, with scarcity of water and soap. ’ Their houses are of mud bricks, or in ' the hot country of bamboo or corn stalk sides, and roof of grass or palm leaf. A dirt floor, and a woven mat on , the floor to sleep on, and a zerape for , cover. A few earthern dishes and a . handful of fire to cook over. The better class of Mexican and Spanish are very different. Have good houses, . some are palaces. But the poor native • Indian is worse than the American ’ slave before the sixties. He seems J happy and contented, good natured ex- - cept when drunk, then he is bad! They seem to bathe as often as possible. We see a great deal of it by the , wayside The wedding ceremony is not often used, as they cannot get t enough money ahead, so they dispense with it. Many get from six to twenty 1 cents a day, and a marriage ceremony » costs several dollars. You can see t how it is. They are very religious. If - they make six cents, they will give three to the church. To return to the 3 price of soap. I saw in one city in Mexico in a store window a pasteboard j box with two cakes of toilet soap marked in- big figures $4.25. Another box n in the same window was a Japanese s lacquer box. and had two cakes of a toilet soap, a box of powder, a box of j rouge and a bottle of perfume and was j marked $15.00. Another thing very I expensive here is glassware. Pitchers } that you can get on any ten cent counit ter. $2.25 up to $2.90. Ten cent glass — dishes, two and three dollars. But I must get back to my trip. From a ‘ Tlazcala we went to Cholalu. It is a ‘ e pyramid built by unknown people. It >r was here when the Aztecs came, and B - they were told that it was built by a w race of giants and tell a legend coin--1 cident with the Hebrew account of the i X deluge, and the Tower of When ill ’’Cortez came there was a great temple le on the top. I forgot to say the pyrate mid is built of alternate layers ol ,gt clay, limestone and sun-dried brick — 177 feet high, and built in terraces covered with dirt and now overgrowr with shrubs and trees. It is more thai ne a thousand feet each way at the base eii It covers 20 acres of ground. This was the holy city of the Anahuacs oe Cortez declared he counted 400 towers rn in the city of Cholula, yet no tempi, had more than two towers and som< .00 only one. On the top of the pyramis rd ■ stood the chief temple. But of coursi

tortez proceeded at once to destroy it slid build a church tn its place. The lescription of this old temple is wonlerful. The church Cortez had built s still standing, but has recently been •edecorated. That is what is spoiling dexico for the visitor, the fever that tas seized them to decorate old things, scraping off the moss and putting on resh paint spoils the look of things Sven in some of the churches they tave painted over their eld paintings. - ind the tarnished gold frames are tainted a cream or blue or green. Pic-; ures of value have thus been rendered valueless. But it looks new and ■ might. But to return to the pyramid. I steep steps are hewn in the rock leadng up to the church. It is full of ’old decorations and 5s v,ery gon?eous. The view from the top of be pyramid is very fine. The towers >f fifty-eight churches can be counted ’rom here. Thirty in the plains nearby ind twenty eight in the town of Cholua. which now has a population of >nly 5,000 people. This will give you ir. idea of the churches in Mexico, ind why the government suppressed i good many. This would not sound is if any had been suppressed, but they lave. No converts or monasteries are illowed. Every mile of ground you pass on the train, you can count from light to ten churches, always in view. And some of them very large. One here in Cholula has a roof of domes supported by sixty-four round columns. It is immense in size. At Puebla we saw the finest church in the republic. The cathedral in the city of Mexico is larger. The Puebla cathedral was consecrated in 1649. The high altar is made from all the varieties of Mexican marble and the exquisite onyx of Puebla. This altar cost SIIO,OOO. One of the old bell towers cost SIOO,OOO. The building is 323 feet long, 101 feet wide and more than 80 feet high on the inside. I have not time to say more about it. The city is clean and streets wide for Mexico. There is much beautiful tile used in the buildings. on domes of churches and fronts of houses especially. I liked Puebla very much. The onyx here is very beautiful. I visited the M. E. mission here, and they have a very good build ings and nearly four hundred in the girls school. Ido not know how manyin the boys. From here we went down to Esperanza, where we begun going down the mountains to the hot country. Although we are in the torrid zone, we are so high in altitude, between 7,000 and 8,000 feet above sea level, It is not hot. When we reach Maltrata we are passing some of the finest scenery in the world. High up on the mountains, with ferns and orchids and beautiful blooming shrubs, and thousands of feet below, cultivated fields and small cities, with their shining church domes. At Orizaba, the town, we are down the mountains, and Old Orizaba, the mountain, with her snow crown is near. We go farther south to the banana and orange groves and coffee plantations. We visited one and learned somet'aing. We learned that the coffee plants must have shade. So bananas are planted with them, and then big trees, too—fruit bearing usually. We saw them picking coffee and drying it, and sorting it. We saw pineapples growing also. We had our lunch here, then went back to Mexico Ctiy. One day we went down to Toluca. In the republic of Mexico there is a state of which Toluca is the capital, just as there is a state of Washington, of which Tacoma is the capital. Here is another of Cortez palaces no wused by the legislature. It was built in 1530, I believe. Os course we visited the parish church built in 1585. Os course it is all done over, and smells of fresh paint. It is like every other place in Mexico, full of electric lights. They turned on 1,500 in this church for us. Here also is the first organ brought to America. It also has been made over, and its few pipes incorporated in the new one. In the back of the organ they showed with pride, a great big music-box. The church was full of tinsel and paper flowers, and gilt glass bails. It is a city of 25.000. The scenery on the way was very fine. We passed an old Axtec town in which the Indians allow no one else to live. They speak the pure language, and have always owned their own land. One day we went to Amecameca. the second most sacred shrine in Mexico at the foot of Popocatapetl and Itac cihuatl. It is another church built on top of a hill, with a sacred legend attached. There is a long road with steps, and stations of the cross along they way with pieces of hair, rags old hats, etc., left on the bushes,' ir grottoes, etc., by the faithful to bring them good luck. On Ash Wednesday there is a procession and the bones of the good old saint are brought dowr from the church and carried in pro cession. Tens of thousands of pil grims come here then. I met a lad’ who said she was there and there wen bands and merry-go-rounds and ped i lers and dancers —worse than an; i county fair. But I must stop. I wil » try and with another letter on Mex I icc before I leave. With love to all 1 Elizabeth S. Morrison.
