This Mexican Product, As Welt A. . Others, No Longer Profitable. Ss news comes from 'Merino. Dressing fleas for market is no longer a profitable business, and. the. little insects 'have disaPPearnd from the showcases of curio stores : . Dressed fleas were long a staple ar- ticle in the !kora. and shops in Mexi- co. In little boxes no bigger than the bluot end of a lead - pencil these adorned fleas could be seen through reading glasses in all • the glory of that; wedding or altristenizig finery. Mexican women toiled for days d'reas- nig the diminutive insects. using the point of a needle to attach the bits or bright cloth and lace to the 'bodies of the wee pesta. Through a microscope the dressed fleas appeared as minia- ture persons, with hats, dresses and suits covering their tiny forms.. When the United States government limited passports to persons on WM. vary business •the tourist travel to Mexico ceased. and" automatically so did the demand for dressed fleas. Jumping Mexican beans, another of- fering of the curio stores, have ceased to be sold for the same reason. Hun- dreds of these little, wormy beans were sold to travellers from the United States. dnd-keeptk.eEpETd strong!.
