GROWTH OF MEXICO.
Tho Present Condition and the Resource
 of Our Sister Republic.

of Our Sister Republic.
 The revenues of the republic have more than doubled in twenty years. In l 1870 they were sixteen million dollars; in 1887 they were thirty-two million dollars; and the estimated revenue for 1SSS-9 were nearly thirty-eight million dollars It is true that the expenditures have grown more rapidly than the rev. enues, so that there has been, for sev- eral years, not large deficit. But the main reason of this has been that the State has expended large sums on rail- ways and other extensive public works; so that while the national treasury has suffered little, the country has been greatly benefited, and it's resources have been greatly increased.
 Both the imports and the exports have steadily gained in the past few years. From 1885 to 1888, the imports of Mexico increased from thirty-four million dollars to over forty-thrce million dollars; while in the same period the exports increased from forty-six million seven hundred thousand dollars in round numbers, to nearly forty-nine million dollars. Near
 
 Mexico were of the precious metals, the industry in which was materially ben efited by the building of railways and roads. The increased facilities of rail way communication may be judged from the fact that while in 1879 only three hundred and seventy-two miles of rail- way were in operation throughout the ho thousand miles.
 Mexico has larger business dealings with the United States than with all other nations put together; and that it's commercial relations with us have grown constantly more important may be seen by the fact that the Mexican exports to the United States in 1885 were valued at about twcn- ty-five and one-half million dollars, and in 1888, at thirty-one million dollars. The mining interests of Mexico are large, and are yearly becoming more valuable. But it's agricultural prosperi- ty is also notable. It's farms and forests are sources of large and growing reven- ueS. It's productions of coffee, sugar, corn, wheat, tobacco, cocoa, and other plantation products approach in value two hundred million dollars yearly. It has, besides, vast cattle ranches, in all valued, five years ago, at over five hun dred million dollars.
 A country so abundantly and various ly blessed with natures gifts only need ed internal peace and a good and wise government, to acquire strength and wealth, and Mexico has made a great progress as the result of such a peace and such a government during the past five Years.-YOuth's Companion.

A ROYAL HUSBAND.
Gustav Freytag's RecOIIections of Emperor
 Frederick III.

| Gustav Freytag's RecOllections of Emperor | Frederick III.
 On the evening of the 23d of August, 1870, at Ligny, was with the Crown Prince alone. He lay, fatigued, on his narrow field-bed, which he had put up whenever we were quartered. Before him on the little writing able stood the photographs of the Crown Princess and his children, so that his eye could rest upon them. He spoke at once of his dear ones at home, of the characters of his children, how each one of them was developing, of his sorrows for those that were lost. His eyes moistened, and his face was transfgured by love and grief His manner was so warm and pleasing that it softened the listener, too.
 Then he began to speak of his consort in terms full of tender devotion. He extoled the wealth of her knowledge and mental capacity, to which, he said, he had always to look up, and he la mented that such woman was not ap- preciated everywhere. One felt how happy it made him to speak of her of whom he was constantly thinking. Every act of homage, even the smallest, done to the woman he worshiped was to him matter of importance, for his devotion and subordination to his loved wife were absolute. This love was the highest and holiest thing in his life, and filled the whole soul. She was the mistress of his youth, the confidant of all his thoughts, his counselor whenever she was disposed to give counsel. The laying-out of the grounds, the adornment of the dwelling. the education of the children, verdicts on persons and events-in every thing he consulted her thoughts and wishes. When he could not follow her wholly, or when his inmoSt soul contradicted her demand, he was very unhappy and un- easy. She had come to him from amid greater circumstances; had, with rich natural gifts, as her fathers favorite child, drawn her intellectual equipment from a far wider sphere of educative material Through happy years she had labored with much zeal, and with great patience, to cultivate in the soul of her husband the interests she had at heart; and he felt in his pure and simple breast that what gained vitality in him was her work. He felt as if he had first learned to see, to feel, to recognize the true, to enjoy the beautiful, through her. It was easy to understand that such domination of wife over husband, over the future ruler of Prussia, threat ened to produce difficulties and strug- gles, greater, perhaps, for the wife her self, who led and elevated him to whom it is a necessity for woman to look for guidance

THE LIMEKILN CLUB.
Brother Gardner Deals SummarIIy With
 an Intoxicated Visitor.

i Brother Gardner Deals SummariIy WitI an Intoxicated Visitor.
 Just previous to the opening of the meeting Prof. Low Pressure Harrington dashed into Paradise Hall with the startling announcement that an assassin who was hidden in the alley had at | tempted his life as he came along. Various members rushed out, but the unknOw7 was gone. The fact that he had beef there was plain enough, how ever, as a large club, into which three | old knife-bladeS had been driven was found on the ground. He had struck at the professor with this, but the latter had jumped over two barrels and dead cat and avoided the blow.
 The cause of this attempted assassina- tion is doubtless to be found in the fact that Prof. Harrington enjoys the na- tional distinction of being able to throw hat off his head by working his ears back and forth. Several other parties are extremely jealous of him be- cause of this forte, and it is suspected that the would-be assassin halls from St. Louis, and is a party named Sunrise Jackson. Heis being vigorously searched for in this vicinity, and if found he won't have any ears to further practice with.
 In opening the meeting Brother Gard ner announced that Hon. SnowdrOp Shy der, of Galveston, was in the ante-room, and had asked for and obtained permis- sion to deliver his celebrated essay on ''The Progression of the Cocoanut" He had not only been here for four days and nights, boarding at the house of the president free gratis, but would probably continue to board there unless oppor- tunity was given him to get this essay off his mind and a small collection taken up to help him out of town.
 The honorable was brought in by the committee on reception, and at first glance it was evident that he was be- wildered. While waiting in the ante room he had consumed pint of whisky which Giveadam Jones had purchased to take home to rub on his mules leg, and before he reached the plat form he sat down on a stool, rolled his eyes around and appeared helpless and dazed. Brother Gardner descended from the platform, smelled of the great mans breath and then waved him off with the command:
 Remove de prisoner an turn him ober to de care of Giveadam Jones'"
 He was led out, and moment later series Of bumbs on the back stairs showed that the honorable was taking his leave. The sounds of a human body mopping up the mud in the alley foated up to the windows on that side and caused some excitement, but they soon ceased and the echo of footsteps going splosh! splosh! indicated that the man with an essay had headed for home and Texas.-Detroit Free Press.

ABSENT-MINDEDNESS.
A Milwaukee Man Who Forgot Whel
 His Wife Had Moved To.

A Milwaukee Man Who Forgot Where
 His Wife Had Moved To.
 A WeSt-slde attorney, noted for his absent-mlndedneSS as well as for his business shrewdness, is in the habit of leaving the management of his house entirely to his wife, in whose ability he has the utmost confidence. He furnishes her the wherewithal to run things and never inquireS or cares about what she does so long as his comfort is provided for. One evening, not long ago, he was standing on the corner of Grand avenue and West Water street, looking discon- solate and greatly troubled.
 Hello, Blank, said an acquaintance, ''what is the matter?"
 ''Dash it. he responded, 'T'm in a deuced bad box, and I don't know what to do. My wife moved today She told me this morning she was going to move. and where she was going to move to, but I'll be blowed if I remember where it was. l think it was somewhere in the Thirteenth ward. Where do you think my wife would be apt to move to?''
 The friend could not help him, and now anu WQeFe ne lOu0u ms QOmlcll0 history sayeth not.
 Absent-mindednes is not confined to lawyers however. A young man who owns horse, of which he is very fond, and who is also fond of giving the young ladies rides behind his stopper, has habit of talking to his horse, ad- dressing her with various pet names. Not long since he took a young lady, a teacher, riding, and the conversation turned upon her work. She was telling him of a trouble she was having and how she dreaded to meet it, when, in a soft and smoothing tone, he interrupted her with: ''Never mind, Pet; never mind. It will be all right if you brace right up to it." And it was only after a very painful pause in the converse tion and an awkward explanation that she learned the remark had been meant for the horse, which had been afraid of something ahead.-Milwaukee Wiscon. sin.

scotIand,s Bare-Limbed Lassies.

Stockingless legs and feet are notalto- gethera thing of thepast. Bare legs were not, at one time, looked upon as objects of ridicule, or as a fit cause for blushes, even when said legs were feminine. The bare-limbed lassies of Scotland and Ireland now attract the attention of American tourists by their oddity, as compared with home customs. In the case of the Scotch women the custom, which prevails chiefly in the rural dis tricts, is largely dictated by the prac- tice of washing heavy articles by tread ing them in tub with their feet, and, perhaps, also, for convenience of ford ing the burns, or brooks, in the mount aiaous sections,-Pall Mall Gazette.

According to the once accepted Nal
thusian theory, population increases
in higher ratio than the means of
subsistence. That theory does not
hold good now, if it ever did. Take
the United States where the increase
of population is exceptional. During
the thirty-nine years, ending in 1899,
the increase of population was 175 per
cent; but the increase of the great
farming staples cattle, swine, cotton,
corn, wheat and oats-was 33S per
cent. The increase of farms was 26O
per cent. Here then can be found the
reason 'why farming doesn't pay"
There are 100 many farms, and the
farms produce roo much of the staples
in proportion to the consumers. What
is the remedy? The markets of the
world? But from all over the world
the same complaint arises. Australia,
India, the east of Europe and South
America compete with the farmers of
the United States in the markets of
the world. But here is a suggestion:
Let the farmers of this country divers
ify their productions. Now nearly
$35O,OOO,OOO of agricultural produc-
tons are imported. Most of this i'm
portation could be produced at home,
according to Statistician Dodge, of
the Department of Agriculture.-Ex

have always claimed this is the

syrups, and the New Orleans amp Paris
experience prove it. We buy inferior
imported syrups, when we had ought
to manufacture for export. The total
cost of blowing, planting and cultivat-

was S195. l was not able to keep the
product entirely separate from the Gus
tom cane, but from some of the meas
ured land the yield was 100 gallons
per acre. Much of the seed was i'm
mature, which lessened the yield. The
cost of manufacturing the entire crop
was about seven cents gallon, and the
selling price has been As to so cents.
Of the 2O9 SO gallon barrels made, there
are now only 60 barrels left.
We hope onr farmers will pay some
attention to this "sweet" business.
