MEXICAN GIRLS IN THE BATH
Soma of Thsru Are Good Looking and the i
Visitor Hea Mneh of Them. "
In Agues Culientea some Moses of
old smote the rook and there gushed
from it a stream of water so warm
and; altpgether delightful that the
town was named after it and
natives blees the Father of Waters
ever day pf their lives. Bathing
is the occupation of the town and
the result is shining bodies of bronze
and as a good many square inches
of skin are on exhibition in Mexico
comploaaon counts. -.
Imagine 600 natives of all ages
and both sexes calmly bathing in an
open ditch with such privacy as the
blue heavens and the republic of
Mexico afford. There are two sec-
tions of them those who have some-
thing on and those who have not
and they splash around in their buth
as unconcerned as a baby or a ca-
nary in a porcelain dish. Their an-
cestors bathed in the long ditch
where the water lies blue and little
puffs of etoam arise and why not
theyt What though the Mexican
Central did lay its parallel hands of
steel within a stone's throw of their
hereditary bathi That is the rail-
road's fault not theirs. And eo
they splash joyously in their ditch
and disport themselves along the
bank in every conceivable Etate'of
dishabille.
We reached Aguas Calientes at
sundown on Saturday and I was so
curious to see the place that the sun
and I appeared on the streets about
the same time. W.bole families ap-
peared from the direction of the
town bearing bundles of clothes on
their heads. The Mexican peon
owns only one change of garments
a shirt and trousers of cotton a
sash sandals of most primitive de-
sign and a straw sombrero and he
is abundantly clad. For extra wrap
there is the serape and to see the
young Indians about to bathe manip-
ulate this useful garment is a lesson
in the art of draping.
They select a convenient bush
unmake their toilots and sheltered
by the friendly blanket Elide into
the water. While in the bath the
women wash . their chemises and
emerge from the water and put on
skirts and as soon as they are dry
the freshened wardrobe. You may
see mater fumilias bathing her
brood. She selects a pool and dis-
robing herself to tho waifct scrubs
her progeny. Every head is care-
fully soaped and scraped and the
white suds run down over the burnt
eiennu shoulders. The children
have water fights and the naked
babies when cleansed are laid on
the tan: to dry where they kick
and squirm like bronze Cupids. Ev-
erybody washes from crown to toe
and the girls glance coquettishly at
you between long braids and float-
ing strands of dripping hair.
The prettiest girl I saw might
have been Pharaoh's daughter so
beautiful and perfectly formed was
she. I saw her coming to the canal
barefooted footsore and weary yet
with nil the marks of race in her
face and I doubt not she is lineally
descended from eomo of the dusky
kings of this fair land.
She crept out of her white chemise
and calico skirt and with her re-
boza about her shoulders slid into
the water. There she unbraidod
her long hair and lot it float out on
tho buoyant water holding her re-
boza before her like a curtain and
laughing over it at me with my im-
potent camera. This young lady
together with several' other girls
performed ablutions behind a thin
fringe of mesquite that borders the
stone wall of the canal. Thoy sport-
ed like brown Venuses juet arisen
from tho waves quite undisturbed
by the passing anct repassing of
thoir own countrymen on the bor-
ders of the canal. It was only with
he Americans that they were coy
and that is our own fault I dare
saytill I shall always remember
the flashing white teeth the pink
bonds okthe warm brown throats
and the perfect turning of wrist and
ankle.
Tho long canal where these chil
dren of nature wash off the dust of
their native land and where the
city '8 wardrobe flutters from every
bush is about a mile long. At the
tipper end the springsgush from
earth's hot heart and there are bath-
houses of stone and adobe hundreds
of years old. They Bay thatllonte-
ruma'B daughter came here to bathe
before the envious Spaniards over-
ran the fair land. Certainly his d
sceudants have been in the water

?W " ' Dok. of kgptr? " '
Commenting on tho statement of
a naturalist that the dogs Of Egypt
never barked Ed Little said: "1
cannot say from my own knowledge
that the dogs of Egypt do bark. I
do not remember that I ever heard
one of them give tongue. In fact
the only Egyptian dog of which I
have any recollection was a very
scrubby cur that took up bis unin-
vited residence at the consulates.
One morning on reaching the office
I found this dog contentedly resting
near my desk. I called the servants
and had them put him out On the
next morning and the next I found
that dog in the same place. Every
time he was put out he went with a
cheerful wag of his tail as much as
to say 'You will like me better
when you know me more ' and by
and by I became interested in his
persistency. At last I tpld the serv.
ants to allow him to remain and as
long ns I staid in Cairo that cur
was a part of the American consu-
lata No I don't think be ever saw

The Yukon River.
"The River Trip to the Klondike"
is the title of an article in The Cen-
tury by John Sidney Webb. Mr.
Webb says:
The mouth of the Yukon is about
100 miles broad that is from one
side to the other side but there is
nothing to suggest a river about
it nothing but small streams
sloughs islands innumerable and
disconcerting. It is like being
brought face to face with a hundred
gates only one of which opens the
way whioh you are seeking while
the others lead to destruction. This
is the difficulty in navigation at the
starting point and the sort of thing
encountered all the way to Circle
City. It is touch and go or touch
and not go and you may get through
or may stick on a bar and not budge
an men ror many weary uaya or
weeks. Eighteen hundred and fifty
miles of river are before you on
your way up to Dawson and it
takes about 15 days if you meet with
no accidents days of vast wonder
ful and ever changing scenery
nights of eilent grandeur wnen you
Eeem to be all alone surrounded by
an untrodden wilderness silent
awesome mysterious.
It Was Really Too Cruel.
The speaKor had been giving a
most careful and finished imitation
Of the extreme English pronunci
ation in her remarks when a puzzled
Englishman who was present whis
pered to his neighbor: "Really I
not only can't understand what she's
saying but I can't make out what
language it is some outlandish
American patois 1 suppose that
I've never happoned to run across.
I certainly never heard anything
like it before in any part of the
world. " New York Tribune.
