FLOATING GARDENS.
What- an
American Traveler law la
Alt-zlco. -
We visited the r.'lybrated floating
gardens. Repaid ng these renowned
lloattng islands o wardens, the reader
can form a correct idea of them from
the following lines written upon the
subject by a d:s:inguished English
traveler:
"Whou a tract of vegetation coin-
Eosed of reads, water plants and
ushes, interwoven and laced togeth
er, becomes 60 dense that it will bear
a superstructure, strips of turf 20 to
30 yards long by two yards wide, are
cut lrom some suitable nnn place,
floated to it down the canal and laid
upon it; this is repeated several
times, and thus an island is securely
raised two or three feet above the
level of the wtrter; a little soil is
spread over it, and it becomes a
chinampa, or floating garden, on
which Indian corn, vcxettbles and
flowers are grown. The gardens
vary in size fiom 103 to 209 feet in
length, and from 20 to 100 in width,
according to the nature of the vegeta
tion which suppoits them."
To secure these gardens in their
proper places long willow poles are
driven into the ground below, where
they soon take root. The poles also
tluow out roots into the beds of the
floating gardens, and so hold them
steady.
We took a line of street cars and
were lauded near an old Spanish
bridge, alongside of which we found
a number of flat boats covered with
awnings, with a seat on each side,
covered with red calico. Wo hold
our noses as well as our breaths.
Upon leaving the city the canal is
lined on both sides with beautiful
trees of the species of the weeping
willow, only that they are quite tall.
The city gate or local cufctom-house is
then passed. IIire are to be seen
many boats laden with lumber, fire
wood, vegetables, fruit, flowers, etc.,
waiting to pay toll. A large daily
revenue is derived from this source
by the government. The stalwart
Indians swiftly pole the boat up the
stream for about ten minutes more,
and Santa Anita is reached. This is
an old Indian village, which has un
dergone few or no changes for the
last 300 j'ears, if we except the pub
lic school for boys and girls and a
small church. It is a favorite pleas
ure resort for the inhabitants of Mex
ico, especially during the summer
months, and is rendered doubly at
tracts e by the numerous cAtnanipaa
or lioatmg gara ins lounu in its vicin
ity, on which are grown in remark
able abundance Vic; tables of all
kinds and beautiful" flowers, which
are sold for a mere trifle.
The water in the canal was the
color of dishwater. At Santa Anita
we entered a narrow ditch just wide
enough for our boat. The little boy
who pulled the boat with a long pole
worked manfully. We passed by a
number of women washing clothes on
the bank, and using a fiat stone for
a washboard. The gardens-surprised
and pleased us. Here was a small
strip of land of, say 20 feet wide by
100 feet deep, surrounded by water,
producing the finest onions, another
cabbages, another radishes, another
flowers, and so on, for at least a mile
a succession of the best cultivated
gardens I ever saw. The Mexican
Indians are the best gardners in the
world, aside from the Germans.
Their methods are rude, but they
know how to cultivate their garden
patches. Un our return we met boat
loads of girls and boys singing and
lauzhin" as thov slowlv elided alone.

A. Curious Xlctfic Oarrcnt
An unusual and very interesting
phenomenon occurred near Frank
fort, D. T., recently, in the form of
an atmospheric electric current of
considerable power. As observed
there, the current did not reach the
ground, but varied in distance from
four to six feet from it. It was first
noticed by the peculiar effect it had
on horses and cattle. A buuiag
sound was heard from around the
ears of animals airaHar to that mode
by the swarming of bees distinctly
audible at a distance of several feet.
Horses and mules threw their heads
around in a very excited manner,
acting as though theirears were full
oi nies. itie snapping oi ciecinc
sparks was also heard. Horses which
kept their heads close to the ground
were not troubled, as the current did
not seem to reach down to them.
Many teams became frantic and un
controllable. One horse was so
frightened that it fell, and tried to
creep under its mate for protection.
Oxen also behaved in a very un
reasonable and sprightly manaar.
Farmers were frightened and hurried
to the barn with all possible speeH.
Finally a brief thunder slower came
up, and the flash of lif&tfmg afford
ed immediate rlif. The current
flowed from west to east, and was
siic or seven asiPss in widih. Cor

j When the Angel Smiled.
A child found an Angel grieving,
1 and being asked the cause of her
j woes the Angel replied :
1 "The funeral bell calls mo to the
bedside of a youth. Vice had al
ready found lodgment in his heart,
and I weep because I cannot purify
his soul before it enters the presence
of itaj Maker."
Again the child found the Angel
sorrowing, and again she made the
inquiry.
"Death beckons me to the bedside
of a man in his prime," replied the
Angel, ''and I fear for his soul's sal
vation. He had a heart of stone, and
his deeds of kindness were never
heard of in Heaven."
The child walked forth once more,
and again the Angel sat in tearful
meditation.
"And will you never smile !" softly
asked the child as she came nearer.
"This time 1 am called to the dy
ing bed of an old man. He has lived
three score years and ten, and the
wickedness of the world may have
often tempted him."
The child fell ill and walked forth
no more. Fever-burned and pain
racked, she tossed on her bed for
many days, Dut one evening as the
summer sun was sinking away in the
great blue ocean the lever went away
and the pains came no more. Then
the child heard the rustle of wings,
and the angel stood beside her not
weeping and lamenting as before, but
smiling and radiant.
"Why are you here?" asked the
child.
"Because death will soon claim
you."
"But you wept for the youth, the
man in his prime, and the old man."
"Aye! but a soul without sin will
be carried in my arms to Heaven's
gates this night, and the echoes of
the rejoicing will be heard on earth."

Mrs. Xoah's Opinion.
"And what does this Mr. Lively do
for a livin'?" asked the old ladv.
"He's a newspaper man."
"A what?"
"A newspaper man. Goes around
and finds out what's going on in the
world, writes it down, and sends it to
the newspaper."
"Sakes alive I I should think a
great, big, strong fellow like him
might be in better business. A car
penter, or blacksmith, or somethin'
of that sort. Harper's Bazaar.
Undigested Food
Iu the stomach develops an acid which stings
the upper part of the throat and palate, caus
ing ''heartburn." It also evolves a gas which
produces "wind on thestotnach," and a feel
ing and appearance of distention In that or
Kan after eaUng. For both this acidity and
swel ing Hosteller's Stomach Bitters Is a
much better remedy than alka hie salts, like
hartshoni and carbonate of soda. A wine
glassful of the Bitters, after r before dinner,
will be found to act as a reliable canniuative
or preventative. This flue specific for dys
pepsia, both in its acute and chronic foini,
also prevents and cures malarial fever, con
stipation, liver complaint, kidney troubles,
nervousness and debility. Persons who ob
serve in themselves a decline of vigo should
use this fine tonic without delay.

Don't Giro Up.
It doesn't follow that a patient will
die because the doctors have "given
him up," or that he will recover be
cause they promise to "pull him
through." It is never too late to try
the great virtues of Parker's. Mr.
Michael Guilfoyle, of Binghamtou, N.
Y., was cured of Rheumatism by it
after ten years of nnspeakable suffer
ing. Mr. R. W. Mosher, druggist, of
same city, certifies that he has sold
over a thousand bottles of Parker's
Tonic through its reputation for this
and other enres.
