The flowers of the City of Mexico are one of its chief delights. loses, violets, forget-me-nots, marguerites and lilies bloom all the- year round. There are few weeks when a quarter will not buy a splendid big bunch and when a silver dollar will not fill all the vases in the house to overflowing, says Modern Mex- ico. Flowers are sold not only atthe flower market-near the cathedral, that is devoted entirely to flowers, straw‘ berries and birds, but at the other gen- eral markets and on the street corners. The “flower girls” of the capital are all boys and men. At some places in : Mexico, particularly Guadalajara, little girls are .to be seen on the streets all :day and in the evening offering , boutonniers for which they will not set a price, but ask you to give what you (please. In this city it} is hard to find a - flower on sale, anywhere, after midL ;day. The flower seller makes up bouquets in the most artistic fashion The street vendors never sell loose-cut flOWers, but arrange them upon a base- work of green so that each flower. istands out by itself, and- the whole ‘bunch is prettily finished with n garni- ture of green leaves or ferns. Set pieces are also arranged with a fine sense of taste and regard for colors. A pansy wreath three feet across can frequent- ly be purchased at the market fora dol- lar. Flori ers are very generally used at funerals, and it is not an unusual. sight to see a casket, even of one of the poor- er class, completely covered with flow ers, wreaths, crosses and baskets in bewildering array, as it is hurried through the crowded thoroughfares upon an open street. m-,... ~-.-_ -\ Valuable Christmas Presents.

Consequently, countries of the earth where the crop was light were visited 'by want and high prices, in India the need even touching the point of famine. —-M(-Cln1 e ’s Magazine The Eminent Kidney and Bladder Specialist.
