AN ANCIENT MEXICAN CITY.

A Curious Legend— Some Relics of Emperor Maximilian.

Queretzro was a town before the Spanish conquest and was made a city in 1655. <A legend of Queretaro is that an Otomite chief, Fernando de Tapia by name, undertook to convert the city to Christianity in a way that seems novel to us, but was common enough to his day. He came from Tula with a challenge to the people of Queretaro to a fair stand up fight. If he won, the people surviving were to be baptized. The challenge was accepted, but while the fight was in progress a dark cloud Came up and the blessed Santiago was seen in the heavens with a fiery cross, whereupon the people of Queretaro gave up and were baptized. They set up a

| stone cross to commemorate the event | on the site of the present church of

Santa Cruz. There is scarcely a church in Mexico which has not a legend of this kind attached toit. The town is identified with the history of Mexico. Here the treaty of peace between the

United States and Mexico was ratified |

in 1848, and here Maximilian made his last stand in 1867, was obliged to sur- render and was shot. Everybody is in- terested in Maximilian mainly on ac- ceunt of poor Carlotta. Maximilian was executed on the Cerro de las Campanas and with him Generals Miramin and Media. The place is murked by three little crosses of stone. The two gen- erals were killed at the first volley, but Maximilian, who had requested that he be shot through the body that his mother might look upon his face, was only wounded, and a second firing was required to kil] him.

The emperor had been led to believe that Carlotta was dead. She became in- sane from grief and was kept in an asy- lum for many years, but she still lives

and still mourns for her dead husband

and the loss of her throne. The United States government protested against the execution of Maximilian, but in vain, Juarez refusing to spare him.

There are all kinds of relics of Maxi- milian in Mexico—the Yturbide thea- ter, where he was tried and condemned, the table on which the death warrant was signed, the wooden stools on which

the prisoners sat during the trial and |

the coffin of Maximilian, whose remains were subsequently sent to Austria and buried at Miramar. I confess I do not share in any sentiment of pity for Max- imilian, who was an adventurer with- out a shadow of right in Mexico and took the chances of war. He was, it is true, a victim of Napoleon and of his own ambition and was very scurvily treated by those who had induced him to set up his throne in Mexico, but to have released him would have been to establish a claimant for the Mexican throne. It was better that this man should die than that thousands shouid be sacrificed in the wars he would sure- ly have fomented if he had been allowed to live. —Philadelphia Ledger

WAGES IN CHINA.

In Spite of Their Lowness the Celestials Wax Fat.

How a Chinese workman manages to support his family and remain sleek and fat on the wages he receives is an ever- lasting mystery to the European and American. The Chinese are a people of marvelous economy. They will support a family, farnishing food, clothes, shel- ter, from a small garden which they call a farm, but which in America would not more than furnish an Amer- ican family with early vegetables.

In cities the laboring men receiye the merest pittance. In Canton, where la- borers are better paid than in other parts of China, skilled workmen live on these wages: Shoemaker, $4 per month; blacksmith, $5 per month; fine ivory carver, $12 per month; tailor, $5 per month; fine embroiderer, $4 per month; designer, $6 per month; silversmith, $8 per month.

The Chinese are superstitions, and the workmen support, in addition to their temples and pagodas and priests, which receive more in proportion than the churches of Europe and America, idol makers, geomancers, fortune tell- ers, physiognomists, soothsayers, astrol- ogers and interpreters of dreams, who exist by thousands and coin all the mon- ey they want. Another thing which makes money for a certain class is the Chinese custom of burning great quan- tities of ‘‘spirit money,”’ coins, which are supposed to be legal tender for dead relatives. One city alone employs 100,000 people in making this cash for ghosts.

Peculiar superstitions embarrass the workman. For instance, carpenters and builders have to exercise great care in selecting a ridgepole for a house. It must have neither cracks nor knots, and in it a small hole must be made and filled with gold leaf and the whole beam painted red. This insures good luck for the owner of the house.

The tea trude employs thousands of persons. The laborers receive from $2 to $10 per month, according to their grade of work.—Chicago News.

Fishy.

A man who resides on the east side relates an incident which may be true, but it sounds fishy.

His boy caught a large sucker a cou- ple of years ago, and since that time he has been experimenting with his finny pet somewhat. The fish has been kept out of the water so much that it gradu- ally became accustomed to it, and fre- quently flopped out of the water itself and followed the boy around. Finally the boy placed it in a pen and gradual- ly reduced its bathing periods until it became acclimatized, abandoning en- tirely its native element. It would fol- low the boy around like a dog, and one day he started over to town across the swinging bridge with the pet fish flop- ping along after him. But alas for boy- ish hopes! The fish made a slight mis- cue and flopped overboard into the creek and drowned before the boy could ree cua him.—Punxsutawney Spirit —§ .

imitation ?

Your anxiety is for your delicate child; the child that in spite of all your care- ful over-watching, keeps thin and pale. Exercise seems to weaken her and food fails to nourish. That child needs Scott’s Emulsion with the Hypophosphites— not as a medicine, but as a food containing all the elements of growth. It means rich blood, strong bones, healthy nerves, sound digestion. No child refuses Scotts Emulsion. It is

pleasant and palatable. SCOTT & BOWNE, Beeville, Ont.
