ny asking me rather abruptly: How many
notes do you think there are on this strip

"Oh, perhaps thirty"
That's not bad guess. There are only
800, said the king, with benevolent
smile.
Last Sunday was down at the island
again. The island is at its best on Sum

every negro patron has razor ready for

tendent of police besides being supervisor
of the town, and the builder of most of

All the people OF Island county seem 70 be up
in arms against the new postal arrangement by
which they get their mail from Port Townsend
instead of by a steamer running directly from
Seattle and touching 81 the islands. Wednesday
the Posi- ISTELII6ENcER printed an interview
on the subject with Captain G. W. Morse, the
eounty's representative in the legislature. He
set forth in vigorous terms the disadvantages
and delays under the new arrangement

theme was under discussion by Captain Morse,

Gen. Diaz Took the Brigands and Made
Soldiers of Them.
Frank Carpenters Letter.

Frank Carpenters Letter.
You do not wonder that President Diaz
is proud of the Rural Guards. 1t was
through them that he turned Mexico
from a land of brigands into
land of peace and order. These men
were themselves, in many cases, the brig
ands of Mexico-were the bandits of the
mountains, who robbed stages and made
themselves famous as the Paul Cliffords of
Mexico. General Diaz sent for the leaders
and asked them how much brigandage
paid on the average. The leaders said it
was worth to each brigand something less
than $40 month, and Diaz, so the story
goes, thereupon offered them steady wages
at that rate to form part of his army.
They accepted, and the result is
that they make the best troops in
the world. Diaz is both loved and re-
spected by them and they gave him a
banquet the night before the last 9th of
May. These men form the working force
of the Mexican army. They have cleared
the mountains of robbers and it is as safe
TO travel in most parts of the interior of
Mexico as in the back districts OF New
York or Pennsylvania. These soldiers
form the guards at the stations all over
Mexico, and when any of the trains re-
quire an escort it is company of the
Rurales who are detailed to go with it. In
MEXICO the army means fnucn more lndu
in the United States. 1t is through the
army that a party or president remains
in power, and revolutions are too recent
in Mexico TO allow the army to grow dis
contented.
The result is that the soldiers are very
well treated. President Diaz, it is said,
made not long ago the remark that OF the
expenses of the government the army
must be paid first. After that the other ex-
penses, such as the salaries of the civil
officers, the foreign loans and the subsidies
might come in. but not before Prior to
this the payment of the army had not been
the first consideration. and one of the
strong points in the strength of the pres
ent government is the absolute faithful
ness which it preserves in the payment of
its troops. The army of Mexico now
numbers about $500 men. Twenty-Five
hundred of these are Rurales, and there is
a cavalry force of more than 600. Every
Mexican capable of bearing arms is liable
for military service from his twentieth to
his tiftieth year. and the country has very
fair military schools.

So says Jenness Miller, the famous
lecturer and writer on dress reform
and physical culture, and celebrated
writer in medical journal says !:
"Face powders and toilet preparations
have a legitimate use in the toilette of
every woman and a use properly made
need not any more than the proper
use of a perfume displease any one,
while it cannot be denied that they
add to the personal beauty and at
tractiveness and give to the wearer an
expression that can be interpreted by
any practical observer to mean that
THIS WOMAN IS NEAT AND CAREFUL

easy to distinguish the well-bred from
