GoDAY's LADY's Book makes its APP
pearauce earlier than usual this month,
and also brighter than usual. Its From
tispiece and Fashion Plates show de-
cided improvement, and its Fashion
News together with the account Of the
Vanderbilt Ball in New York City,
will be read with interest by the Ladies.
The innovation of a corner for gentle
men in the Fashion Department will be
duly appreciated, and we doubt not
that many of the male sex will take q
sly peep into that part of the Fashions
to find out what is "chic" for special
occasions. Its Novelette, Marguerite, I"
by Elizabeth olmis, and "Her Graces,"
by Miss Emily Read, need only to be
mentioned, as all they write is eagerly
sought. In a word, GODEY's LADY's

AMERICAN ENTERPRISE IN MEXICO.

Within the last two or three years the at
tention of Americans has been turned, as il
never was before, to tho trade possibilities
of Mexico. A large number of our country.
men have been induced to interest them
selves in Mexican enterprises Railroads
have been built factories have been opened
oil wells and reiineries constructed, silver
and gold mines purchased. Except the
English company which owns the Vera
Cruz road, nearly al the railroad concessions
ARE In the hands of American capitalists.
The road TO I'll Salto was bought by the Pal
mer-Sullivan Company. The road from &c
laya to Irapuato was bought by the Boston
people.
That these new Mexican railroads are
looked upon as almost purely American
enterprises is shown by the fact that theiI
weekly earnings are regularly reported in
the C0a,percidl and Financial Chronicle
side by side with the earnings of our own
roadB.
Until recent years Mexico has been SO dis
turbed by internal commissions and external
complications, that ii has failed to make the
progress Of which its situation and natural
resources give promise. Awakened to dc.
sire for commercial and industrial activity
she found herself without lines of communi-
cation and without any organization of her
labor forces. To promote her own advance
ment she has opened her doors to the enter
prise of others, invited capital in to arouse
her labor forces to activity and give fair
guarantees of profit to the undertakings
which are to develop her industrial ener-
gies.
American capital finds ready employment
in developing Mexican resources. Ex-Gov-
ernor II. O. Mccormick, of Arizona. has in
vested heavily in coffee estates. Dr. Wise,
Of Virginia, and others are engaged in col.
onizing the rich Pacific coast of Chiapas.
Tx Governor Shepherd and others are de-
yeloping the mining interests of tho Northern
States of tho Republic. The most recent
enterprise, however, is q real estate and
tuilding operation in tho capital itself. A
company is about to be organized to buy
and improve tract of laud in the City of
Mexico, lying on both sides of the Paseo do
Ia Reforma, which extends virtually from
the centre of the city 10 the Castle of Cha
pultepet The tract comprises more than
5000 ordinary city lots. A portion of the
price-$500, 0o0-was recently paid in the
City of Mexico, and the balance is to be in
this city in few days. on the arrival OF
Senior Salyado Malo, the former owner of
the land. II is tho purpose of the new
owners to improve the property by building
houses ranging from $4,000 to $4,000
along the Paseo, and also large American
hotel.

CARRYING MONEY.

fused to carry the currency between WASH
ington and New York on terms which Sec
rotary Brstow deemed reasonable The
company, thinking that he could not get any
other reliable means of transporting the cur.
rency, We're obstinate. He, therefore, took
away the contract and for long time pro-
vided other means which they could never
discover. They finally came to his terms.
The Secretary selected for the trust Thomas
Cayauaugh, special agent of the treasury,
tall, broad-shouldered, deep-chested, who
used to set out from the office of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury after night with n valise
stuffed with government currency. Ono
nighthe had in his bag $750000 in green
backs. The Secretary had absolutely no
protection beyond Cayanaugh's individual
honor. If no had run away with an odd
million he could not have been prosecuted
for more than breach of trust. II it was
sven suspected that he was carrying such
sums, he would have been attacked. Ii he
bad been robbed-nothing bnt his death it
defending his trust could have saved him
from being classed as n guilty participant.
Toward the last Cavanaugh became very
nervous A close coupe took him down the
avenue In the sleepng-car he slept but
little Someone seemed always reaching
across his gashed throat for the money
placed in his trust II was a great relief
when the dreadful responsibility came to an
end and he was able to go back to his or.

THE EVOLUTION OF BREAD.
Hew II was Made in Ancient Times-Beer
Yeust.

Persons of extreme views are apt to main-
tain that all mankind being normally saw
ages, were as normally cannibles; but, leav-
ing that moot question altogether on one
Hide, it seems probable that humanity ate
acorns long before they ate cereals or learned
the art of making bread, and that the vener-
stion entertained by the Druids of Gaul and
Britain for the oak was due to the circum-
stance that its glands were the staple food of
the people. Bread, properly so called, was
transmitted by the Greeks to the Romans,
and either the latter or the Phunicians may
have introduced the cultivation of corn into
Gaul. While, however, the land was main
" covered with immense forests, long time
must have elapsed before the practice of eat
ing acorns, chestnut and beach mast was
abandoned, and even when corn was regu-
larly grown, ripened and harvested the
grains were merely plucked from the ears
and eaten raw or slightly parched The
next step was to infuse the grains in hot
water for the making Of a species Of Cruel or
porridge, and a long time afterward it may
have occurred to some bright genius to
pound the corn in mortar or rub it to q
powder between tSo stones. Subsequently
came the handmill but it was not until
after the First Crusade that the windmill
was introduced from the East, whittier it
had probably found its way from China.
The first bread was evidently baked on ashes
and unleavened, and the intolerable pangs
of indigestion brought on by continual
course of "galette" or dampern may have
suggested the use of fermenting agent,
which, in the first instance, was probably
stale bread turned sour Plny has distinct
ly told us in his Natural History" that the
Gauls leavened their bread with yeast made
from the I've of beer yet, strangely enough,
they abandoned the use of beer yeast and
did not resume it until the middle of the
seventeenth century. Its revival in France
made the fortune of many bakers; then the
medical faculty sounded an alarm, declaring
that yeast made from beer was poisonous
Its employment was prohibited by law in
1866, but the cutlery raised by the bakers
and the public was so vehement that in the
following year the decree of prohibition was
cancelled, with the proviso that the yeast
was to be procured only from beer freshly
brewed in Paris or the immediate neighbor-
hood. Some form of fermented bread,
however, the French had been eating for
1000 years in contradistinction TO the cruel
and pulse eating Italians and Levantines and
the purely vegetarian Hindoos.

WATCHES.

The demand for American watches, both
here and in Europe, has constantly been
growing, and one American company, which
is now producing 100 finished watches
day, Is unable to fill orders except on long
notice. There has been a heavy importation
of Swiss watches, but these are mostly of
the cheaper line. The number Of very cost
ly diamonds sold in this country has been
remarkably large, the demand being unpre.
oedented for exceptionally fine stones, both
single and matched. Recently in several
cases MS high as 81 900 per carat has been
paid for diamonds in this city in the trade,
aud they have been cold for this price by
one dealer to another. Very high prices
have been given by our dealers for rare
stones in Europe, aud when these diamonds
have been brought here they have been re-
sold in the trade at prices which have as
tonished the sellers themselves. Then, m
enormous quantity of the cheaper diamonds
have been worked up in all kinds of GOLD
and other jewelry. There has also been II
strong demand for rubies and sapphires
which have advanced greatly in value, anc
there has been rise in the cost OF fut
pearls.

STANDARD TIME.
How the Clocks in the Royal Observatory
nre Run mud Regulated.

1t is always of interest to know how the
world joys by the clock and how the clock
swings by the sun. The primary standard
time-keeper of England is sidereal clock
kept in the basement of the Royal Obserya-
tory, Greenwich. This clock is of the best
construction, and is, moreover provided
with the most approved apparatus for CON-
pensation and correction. Experience has
shown that the best results are obtained
when the connection between the driving
weight and the pendulum of clock is as
slight as possible. This has been accom-
plished in the Greenwich clock by the use
of an elegant escapement, the details of
which are very intricate. The secondary
regulator of the time of England is the mean
solar standard clock at the Royal Observa-
tory, which was specially erected in 1859
for service in the time signal system. of
which it is now the most important instru-
ment. This clock has seconds pendulum,
which closes an electric circuit as it swings
to the right. An electromagnetic in the
circuit lifts a small weight, which is dis
charged upon the pendulum as it swings to
the left and gives it an impulse this being
repeated at each vibration is sufficient to
keep 1t in motion. The pendulum also
closes other galvanic crcuits-one as it
swings to the right another as it swings to
the left-whieh send currents alternately
positive and negative through electro-mag-
nets, alternately attracting and repelling
bar-magnets fastened to an axis, which thus
receives a reciprocating motion. An arm
projecting from this axis moves the seconds
wheel one tooth forward each second
proper gearing gives motion to the minute
and hour wheels. The mean solar standard,
besides controlling other clocks, drives
seconds relay, which controls q meantime
chronometer Nearly all tho meantime
clocks in the Royal Observatory are driven
by the standard clock; they are, in fact,
simply dials whose hands are moved in the
same way and by the same battery as ths
hands of Sac standard itself.

THE ALLIGATOR TRADE.

The business of catching alligators pro-
vides occupation for quite number of per-
sons in our State. The hide Of large ALL
gator is worth from 81 to 49, 1t il almost
days task TO skin n large one. Alligator
oil, which has at first most unpleasant
smell, is much valued az remedy for rheu-
matism. Fishermen sometimes eat portions
of the animals body. The flesh of the tail,
when cooked, is said to be like veal in look
and like pork in taste. Young ones are
bought oy dealers at from ES2 to 3 dozen
if not over one foot in length. They fetch q
much higher price when retailed, as they
are hard to keep alive. There is an increase
in the selling price of fifty cents TO VI TO,

Alligators sixteen to eighteen inches long are
often found by dozens in shallow water, and
they may be handled without trouble, pro-
vided the old ones do not take alarm.
Most alligator fishers are turtle hunters
as well, pulling out the animals from
holes with a hooked pole. -,jachsonpilb

TRAPS FOR THIEVES.
Things Tint Ordinary Customers Visiting
Jewciry stores do Not Notice.

The counters of downtown Jewellers
sparkle nowadays with precious gems and
costly trinklets Of gold and silver. Any one
who wishes may inspect these treasures with
apparent freedom. Glittering diamonds,
shining watches, and ornate bracelets rings
and pins are scattered ON the baize counters
before crowd OF customers. This seems
TO give dishonest persons ample opportunity
TOR thieving. The large jewellers, however,
discount tho possibility of such thing so
cleverly that the feelings of no honest ousto.
mer are wounded, while the chances of the
professional shoplifter are reduced to zero
In one OF the largest diamond houses in the
trade smiling negro politely opens the
door and admits the visitor Statesmen
stand behind polished show cases, aud dis
play for inspection any number of treasures.
The negro smiles aud stands like an autona-
ton, opening and shutting the door. Should
theft be attempted his demeanor would
instantly change. A word, or the slightest
sign, would send the door to with slam,
aud il would lock with spring. If need
be, glistening revolver would appear in
the negroes hand and be leyelled in a mo.
ment. In less than minute an electric
alarm would bring policemen to the spot.
The thief would be caught in trap ere he
could escape.
Another diamond dealer, the dark recess
of whose great safe is aglow with a myriad
OF tiny colored fires, shows these gems as
freely as il every customer were his bosom
friend The visitors do not notice the tall
gate of small steel bars crossed, which silent.
ly swing open when they enter and as quiet.
" close when they are seated OF the counter.
Yet this gate effectually cuts of escape
from the room should suspicion of theft be
aroused 1t opens with catch spring and
closes with an automatic lock. Gates OF
this sort and screens, more or less elaborate
in construction, are to DO found near glass
case9 in which diamonds are displayed in
many large jewelry establishments, and they
also guard the outer windows
An ingenious foil for the window smash
ing thief is heavy plate OF French glass
placed few inches behind the outer glass
of the show windows, and rendered invisible
by its transparency. II thief broke the
outer glass he would find himself face to
face with almost the exact duplicate Of the
broken pane, the only difference being
that the second pane is heavier than the
first
Jewellers who resort to neither of these
means of protection secure themselves in a
less noticeable way by employing lynx.eyed
watchmen, who are dressed neatly and walk
to and fro in the salesrooms, seemingly busy
with other work, but always keeping thei,
eyes on the alert.
The effect of these safeguards is to de.
stroy tho likelihood of the recurrence of any
OF the great jewelry robberies that have
been attempted by cracksmen in the past
The robbers are driven nowadays to attach
the safes at night, for it is practically hope
less for them to secure booty in the day

ROOM FOR YOUNG MEN.
The Suggestions of an Electrician In Re.
gard TO the Study of Electricity.

"Why do not some of the young men
who are crowdng into the already over
crowded professions of law and medicine
and journalism take up the study of electric
ity ?" said London electrician and author
of a book ON electricity. at is the only
profession not overcrowded, because not
half score of years ago the nature and
powers of electricity were not known and
the extent of its application to commerce
was not even dreamed OF. Great fortunes
are made in Europe in the profession of tel
egraph engineering. The Siemens broth
ers, who have residences in Berlin, Tiflis,
st. Petersburg, and London, are worth
$5. O0O, 600, all made in electrical engineer
ing. Such men as Sir William Thompson,
Latimer Clark, and Edison, who would be
called inventors here, are, speaking more
broadly, telegraph engineers. In Europe
the science. Women are eminently fitted
for it's pursuit, as no physical labor is re-
quired.
"There are only four schools in the world
for the study OF the profession, one in Paris,
one in Japan and two in England. There
should be one in New York City. The enor.
nous extension of telegraph, telephone.
electric light aud electric railway systems,
which is TO be witnessed before many years
in China and Japan, in Italy, Spain, Cuba,
Brazil, and especially IN this country, win

Will become wealthy in o few years. Ocean
cables will also be multiplied in all parts of
the world The skill required in finding the
place of break in an ocean cable is pos
sessed by telegraph engineers. They find
the break with an instrument about as large
as your hat. Phe time required for gradua-
ting from an electrical telegraph school is
from two to four years, and close study
