Life in Mexico.

The Mexicans do not use ice, but, nevertheless, there is no country where a man can get a glass of cool, sweet water quicker than in Mexico. The water jars are made of a porous pottery, which allows the water to ooze out through the material of the tanks, and the evaporation keeps it always cool. It is not cold like our ice water, but it is all the better on that account, as a man can drink twice as much and never feel in the least injured, no matter how large his draught.
