zone thing at time' is the principle
of life among the Tarascans. Perhaps it
is carried to exaggeration, but it produces
wonderful results. If of o Sunday morn
ing you saunter down the road leading up
from the lake to Patzcuaro you will meet
thousands of the Tarascans coming to
market with their wares and products to
SELL Each Tarascan, or family of Taras-
cans, will have a stock of one thing. 1t
may be earthenware; 1t may be the fiat
pancakes called tortillas; it may be fish; it
may be feather work. Whatever 1t Is the
quality will surprise you.
The traveller sees good deal of the one
idea principle in other parts of Mexico.
Going down through the heart of the Ia
BILE land from Ell Paso to the City of Mex
leo he encounters it in striking manner.
At Leon he Is beset to buy the woven
wraps called serapes, The numerous
peddlers have nothing but serapes to sell.
A few hours further down the road, at the
station of Queretaro, the stock in trade of
the platform vendors is opals, nothing but
opals. At Celaya fifty men and boys
thrust boxes Of ''dulces" in ones face and
will not take refusal to buy, as long as
the train stops. The dulces are sweet,
paste Ike compounds, favored with pine
apple and other fruits. They are offered
in little, round wooden boxes, and are
Of all sorts Of colors. The round
boxes are assorted, according to
fiavors, and packed in long boxes of
varying sizes and prices. Celaya Is
known all over the republic for its sweets.
Within two hours ride of Celaya Is Ira
puato, where strawberries can be bought
at the station every month in the year.
The peddlers have nothing but strawber-
ries, but they always have them put up in
quart, two quart and three quart home
made baskets Of willow-great luscious
berries. Probably the fruit could be cul-
tivated with equal success elsewhere, but
it isn't. Irapuato has the monopoly Of
Strawberries. Even Mexicans, passing
through and going 500 miles beyond, buy
basket of Strawberries at 1rapuato, just
as they always get off at San Juan del
Rio, further down the road, to buy lari-
ats. There is little rope walk in front
OF nearly every house at San Juan del
Rio, and the people do scarcely anything
but manufacture lariats the year round.

II appears that about 1900, 900 of tons
OF coal per year is the amount yielded by
the chief coal districts of Great Britain
Newcastle, South Wales and the Clyde
country-and, assuming this TO represent
the average annual consumption for many
years to come, 1t Is estimated that the
British mines will not be exhausted in
less than 600 to 500 years. 1t is further
calculated that, drawing upon only one
OF her fields, the Westphalian, Germany
will not be able to exhaust her coal supply
In less than 1000 years, and she has, in
addition, the riches OF the Bavarian, the
Aachen and the Silesian coal districts. 1t
is claimed, therefore, that, independent
Of the resources Of other countries, Great
Britain and Germany could supply Europe
with coal for an unlimited period. New

Proposed Enlargement of the Vermont
Soldiers Home.

A meeting of the finance commit
tee of the trustees of the Vermont
Soldiers Home was held at Montpe-
lier, on Wednesday, with reference
to the enlargement of the home, and
plans were submitted which will be
presented to the full board of trust
ees at their next meeting.
The plans contemplate a wing to
extend to the east, continuation OF
the old ell part, which will be raised
and made two stories high. The adj
dition will be 60x32 feet, making the
wing 100 feet long. On the lower
floor of the addition there will be a
dining room 35x31 feet, reception
and smoking room 3lxl5 feet with a
water closet adjoining. On the sec
ond floor of the entire wing there viii
be 10 sleeping rooms, each 9xl2 feet
for the inmates, and large hospital
room 20x31 feet, which will accom-
modate - single beds. There will
also be on this floor bath room and
three water closets, and medicine
room will open off from the hospital.
The latter will be located at the end
of the wing directly over the recep-
ton room, and spacious fire places
will open off from each into a large
chimney. The addition will provide
accommodation for 40 inmates,
making the total capacity of the
Home about 20. The main part is
36x46 feet and three stories high in
Guiding the attic, which is finished off.
The attic of the addition can be equip
ped with dormer windows and finish
ed off whenever it is desirable, which
will make the total capacity of the
Home about 100.
The proposed enlargementhas been
rendered necessary by the present
crowded condition of the Home.
The plans have been submitted to P.
H. Rim, the architect of the Ben
nington battle monument, and he
pronounces them feasible and says
that the erection of the addition is the
best thing that could be done under
the circumstances. 1t will be better
than the erection of separate build
ing as it will increase the homelike
appearance of the structure, which
effect will be still further augmented
by the erection Of a broad piazza on
the south side Of the wing for a dis
lance of 60 feet.
The expense of the addition will be
about $4,000. exclusive of the heating
and furnishing which will probably
cost $4,000 more. The full Board of
Trustees will hold a meeting at Ben
nington on Thursday, Feb. %, for
action in the matter of the enlarge
ment.
