PROGRESS IN MEXICO.

Railroads are doing a great deal now
for Mexico, About four years ago /
made very extensive trip through that
country, and have just returned from
covering practically the same ground. I
was hardly prepared for the changes
made, but can now see what roads now
projected and being constructed will do
in the next few years. The railroad
people, however, have had considerable
uphill work, as the people we're hardly
ready for such means of conveyance and
had to be educated. In the course of
this education some novel ideas and ex-
pedients have been employed. The
small farmers and vegetable producers,
for instance, could not get over the old
idea of loading up their burros and trud-
ging into the city of Mexico with their
products. Thus the spectacle of train
of empty cars and long line of heavily
laden and slow moving burros, driven by
the patient Trainer, was furnished FL
nally some Que hit upon the happy idea
of offering low rate for hauling the bur
ros. II was gradually acceDted, the far
mels loading up their burros as usual
and driving them on the cars bound for
the city. In this way they began to see
the value of rapid transportation. and
gradually awakened to the fact that the
burros were useless. Now the railroads
are receiving the business very much as
in any other country. though some of the
smaller farming class still stick to the
long cared burrO.-St. Louis Clio be

Stanley's Labors on the Congo,

A railroad has been planned to car
ry freight around the cataracts. Soon,
trading stations will be scattered along
the five thousand miles of navigable
waters OF the great river. Stanles
found vast country that had no own
er. The river drains region contain
ing more than million square miles,
much of which is well peopled. The
Congo Free State, founded by Stanley's
friend. Leopold H.. King of Belgians,
lies chiefly south of the great bend of
the river, and contains an area of one
million five hundred and eight thous-
and square miles; its population is
more than forty two millions. The
articles collected from the African
trade are ivory. palm-oil. gum-eopal,
rubber, beeswax, cabinet-woods, hip
popotamus teeth and hides, monkey
skins. and divers other things. These
are bought with goods, such as colored
beads. brass and copper wire, cotton

great variety of articles known as

A Word COUNTING MACHINE.-A tele-
graph operator in Minneapolis has inven
ted word counting machine which may
be used by itself or attached to type
writer. 1t is much the same sort of thing
as pedometer, only it is more accurate.
1t is as large as small clock. The
works are inside the nickel case, on one
side of which is the face. The machine
will count up to 2, 800 words, and eau be
used for any number by keeping tally of
the number of times it passes the $500
mark. There are two hands like the
hour and the second hand of watch.
Every time a word on the typewriter is
is finished the same motion which spaces
for the word registers on the word count
er. When the second hand counts up TO
twenty five words the large hand moves
forward quarter of a space. The face
is divided into twenty five spaces, one
for cash hundred words, and glance at
it shows at once how many words have
been written.
The use of the word counter is not
limited to type writing machines, but il
can be used in writing and dictation by
keeping it at hand and making a slight
pressure at The end ST each word. Some
operators attach it to their desks and
work ID with string fastened to their
feet. IT is a useful Invention, especially
to telegraphy, and il making an article
of specified length.

Tricks of Diamond Smugglers.

1t sometimes happens, said New
York jeweler, that the Collector is
notified of the coming of diamond
smugglers as he was in the case of James
Marriott some five or six years ago.
Marriott stole diamonds valued at
$4,000 from Paris jeweler named
Kramer. Marriott was clerk in
picture store, and, with his booty and
young girl named Peteux, fled to this
country. Two persons answering
their description soon after came in
German Steamer, and hardly had they
landed before United States Deputy
Marshal Bernhard was on their track.
They were finally traced to Staten
Island and arrested at the Battery
while coming up to the city. Nearly
all of the stones were discovered, some
of them being found sewed into pin
cushion, muff, and a pair of trousers
in the room of the thieves. Sometimes
diamond smugglers are reported by
fellow passengers in whom they have
contided, or who have had their sus-
picions excited by some chance word
or act. Diamonds have been found
concealed in soap, in women's back
hair. and in some instance fastened to
the plate of an upper set OF false teeth.
Some people who are constantly on the
go between this country and Europe
are habituallv watched. One of the
strangest cases that ever came under
my observation was that of man who
had subjected himself to a great deal of
bodily pain to effect his purpose. 1t
was generally understood among his
fn1t fI,ot IN
invalid and was suffering from some
incurable blood disease that would
eventually end his life. When he came
off the steamer, supported by attend
ants. he was indeed frightful looking
object, his face being a mass of erup-
tions. What it was that excited my
suspicious l can't say. but something
told me that the man was an impostor
and / decided to have him searched.
You never saw such an indignant lot
of people as they were and their
protestations that search would en-
danger the life of the invalid almost
made me forego my resolution. The
look of satisfaction on the invalid's
face, however. when l hestated, set
tied me, and had him brought into
the inspecting room, and sent for
physician before examining him. as I
wished to take no risks. When the
doctor came he felt the mans pulse
and looked puzzled. There is moth

him stripped pretty quickly. Would
you believe it? His skin was as white
and soft as baby's. with the excep-
ton of five red Jumps on the inner side
of the thighs that looked like large,
undeveloped boils or carbunclcs. The
physician examined these curiously
and then said to hold him. Three or
four of US held him while the doctor
made an incision over one of the Jumps
and extracted-a diamond! You
see, the fellow had read that the dig
gers in the African mines sometimes
used this way for concealing valuable
gems, aud he tried it. He was the
most creslfallen invalid you ever saw,
for. besides having had all his suffer-
ing for nothing. he was out about Sl2,-

Notes in a Bar Of Sunlight,

Counting the dancing notes in bar
of sunshine sounds like one of those
hopeless, never-ending tasks with
which malignant fairies delight to
break the spirit of little heroines in
the German folk stories. Something
more than this. however, has been
achieved by modern science, which is
now able to count the particles float
ing in any given portion of the atmos-
phere, and determine what proportion
of these are dangerous germs and
what are mere dust. DR.. Frankland's
curious experiments have shown us
how to count the micro organisms, and
now John Aitken of FaIkirk. by
totally different method, has been en-
abled to take stock of the more harm
less, but hardly less interesting, dust
notes. Thirty thousand such parti-
Giles have been detected by him in the
thousandth of cubic inch of the air
of a room. In the outside atmosphere
in dry weather the same measurement
of air yielded 2,119, whereas after
heavy rainfall the number was only
521. That the power of prying into
atmospheric secrets will eventually
yield very important results must be
obvious to all. Among the most curl
Gus discoveries already made is the
direct relation between dust particles
and fog. mist and rain.

The unthinking are prone to make
game of nervousness. Yet this is a
very real and serious aflliction, the
harassing symptoms of which are rem
dered all the more poignant by ridi-
Guile. The stomach is usually respon-
sible for these symptoms-its weak
ness and disorder find a reflex in the
brain, which is the headquarters of
the nervous system. AS nerve tonic
and tranquilizer, we believe that not
one can be pointed out so effective as
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. In re-
newing vigorous digestion, it strikes
the keynote of recovery of strength

aches, tremors in quiet sleep, abnor-

appear as the system gains strength

Tight Lacing.
Yontha Com nanIon.

II is wonderful how slightly regard
for health, life and conscience controls
most people where fashion Is con-
cerned. The familiar saying, Better
out of the world than out of fashion,"
Is in some sort freely acted on. Life
is knowingly risked at the bidding of
the modern goddess, whose despotic
sway no god OF antiquity ever equsled.
The space enclosed by the ribs Is
packed to the fullest possible extent,
and ii can be diminished only at the
expense of the heart, lungs and liver,
as well as of other organs below. The
medical profession the world over, and
of every school, is quite unanimous in
condemning the fashion which COM
mands the forcible diminution of this
space. Says DIR. Austin Flint, one of
the highest and fairest authorities in
America:
"The most important Of these dis
tortions of the liver is that produced
by tight facing. In consequence Of
construction of the lower part of the
chest, the liver is compressed from
side TO side, and circular furrow, or
depression, is produced, which may
be so deep as almost to divide the
organ trsnsversely into two parts, of
which the lower may even be tilted
up over the upper. Corresponding to
the tight-lace furrow, the liver sub
stance is atrophied, and the capsule is
thickened and Opaque"
According TO w. johnson Smith, of
England, the wasting at the furrow
may go on until the parts above and
below it are connected merely by a
membranous band. Recently, in this
country, a physician cut of and re-
moved the lower portion of the liver
of tight lacing patient
a late number of the Medicdi Rec
ord adduces the testimony of many
physicians, from different parts of
Europe, as to the effects of tight lacing
on health. AS the names will be
unfamiliar 70 our readers generally,
we will omit them, and give only
their condensed testimony:
1T weakens the bony and muscular
structures.
1T gives rise to intercostal neu-
ralgias, resembling angina pectoris.
at occasions congestion of the eyes
by obstructing the reflow of blood
from the head.
at give rise to gall-stones.
deficiency of bile, dyspepsia, sick
ness, constipation, headaches, chlorosis,
debility may form a natural conse-
quence.
at may cause wandering Cor float
ing) kidneys.
by diminishing the capacity of the
lungs, it may cause oxygen starvation
and arterial an9 mia"
Against all this it may be urged
that women live as long as men; but
the answer to this is that war, the
casualties of life, drunkenness and gen.
eral dissipation tell on men vastly

A ROSE JAR.

Every girl ltONdAdN HAS u Use Jai :

By this means she preserves forever
the charming Jscqueminot and La

When one sees one of these jars. the
others success may be gagged by peep
ing in and perceiving how near full ii
is. Sentimental girls take the cover
of the jar off once in a while and let
the fragrant incense arise, and ii is
said that they can diflerentiate the
intoxicating perfume of each new con-
quest, which has been thus deliciously
preserved.
Perchance some maiden with plenty
of roses, but with no experience in
preparing pot pOWTi, asks If some
one will give her recipe for making
