THE HOME.
HINTS TO VISITORS


Don't-when the energetic mood is on you
be officious In your efforts to be of service.
Be, as the boys slang has it, not too useful,
just useful enough. If you've offered assis-
tance once, heartily, and itsbeen declined,
don't persist In urging it. Your friend may
have reasons Of her own for not wanting
you to help her with the beds or the cake.
The sheets in the girls room may be taking
one last turn before they go into the old cot
ton-bag. or the pantry windows may have
come to that state when, but for your visit
they wouldn't wait another day to be washed
You might not mind these little things at ali
and yet housekeeper might prefer not to
have them come under your eye. Or, per-
haps, an hour OF quiet work may be a rest
ful change to her. even from your pleasant
chat. Constant mpaniouship-though of
dearest frieDds-is fatiguing to some per-
sons.
It's very delightful to a hostess to find her
friend recognising the people she met three
years ago and calling them by name without
fresh Introduction. But to have her per-
sist In bringing back to recollection every
thing she may have been told about them In
moments Of indiscretion Is not so delightful.
We all move along with the years, and to be
called on to take the old point of view is
embarrassing. You inquire of your friend,
for example, If she has found out anything
more about that family that had Just move d
into the neighborhood when you were here
before, that peculiar family that did not seem
Inclined to make any acquaintance. She
listens in maze, and all at once realizes that
you must mean those charming Jenkises
that she's invited to meet you tomorrow
evening. Their peculiarities wore off long
ago and she'd forgotten she ever had the
poor taste to speak of them. It's pity you
should have brought it to mind. Or that Mr..
Brown, who used to come to the house so
much to see May Ella-you want to know
what become of him. And then it tran
spires that May Ella dosen't know herself,
or. II she does, isn't inclined to pour 1t ali
forth to you. 1t ought to be understood that
there are certain lines of "Reminiscences in
which guest should never take the initia-
tive. Your hostess may have impaired
more Of her family perplexities to you than
she really intended, in some twilight conf
dence. The subject should be forgotten
one. unless she introduces it. Depend upon
it, short memorles-as well as visits-make
long friends.-GOod housekeeping.

while on board and struggled him ashore as a
coal HEAVIER. from whence he soon got to his
native state and to his army. Diaz has proved
himself an able general and no one can doubt
his courage. He Is now sixty years old. but he
does not look TO be over forty and his black
eyes are as bright and his step as firm as when
he did his first fighting in the Mexican war.
He impressed me by his ease and manner
and by bis gentlemanly bearing. He is. am

Blaine. and heard it said in Mexico that if
Blaine had the backbone of Diaz his admins
tration at the State Department would be the
greatest of any Secretary of State in the world
President Diaz has a wife who stands in Mexico
much like Mrs. Cleveland does in the United
States. She is a beauty of the brunette type,
finely educated and very charming in her
manners. She is simple and unostentatious
and II always doing kind things for the people,
She Is the daughter of the Hon. Romero
Rubio. and she presides with much grace over
the presidents palace in Mexico City and over

She was a middle-aged, well-dressed lady and
she had the next stool on my right alongside q

watching her at all, but happened to see
her place her shopping bag on the counter and
deftly pick up and conceal a pair Of kid gloves

NEEDLE in such cases, but such things are
wrong, and as the store detective was only
twenty feet away went over and told him
what had seen. saw him look at the girl

she had also caught on. 1t was shoplifting,
pure and simple. and waited with considerable
anxiety to see the outcome.

"These gloves" he continued, o. he picked
up pair, ARE a wonderful bargain at the
price You were wise to make an investment.
don't believe they will sell again at the price
this summer. See that the lady is promptly
waited on, Julia"
Julia" sold her two or three bits of lace,
included 80 cents for the gloves on her slip and
the bill was paid without a word, although the
stolen goods were not even mentioned and
could not, of course, be wrapped up with the
other things. 1t was only when the lady arose
to go. after receiving her change, that she be-
trayed any emotion. Then she flushed up,
grew pale about the mouth, and as she passed
me she gave me fash of her ewes which seemed
to promise vengeance in the future.
DO you always work it as slick that2"
asked Of the detective she swept out.
Not always. She was an old hand at the
business and sharp woman. They always
make the best of it when caught One with less
wit would have bluffed and stormed and
should have had to take her back to the Office

mite time perfectly SAFE
What rights have Mexicans over Americans
In business and property holding?r
They have none" replied President Diaz.
1.-The Americans have in this country an equal
chance with the Mexicans for all kinds Of bust
ness. In fact, believe they have better one
from their superior enterprise and the greater
facility with which they can get capital from
abroad. The same can be said as to the acqui-
sition Of property, except that there are GER
tain limitations in the acquiring of real estate
in our border states, according to an old law
which is still in force. These limitations are,
however. easily removed through application
to the government, which has authority to re-
move them and which never refuses to do so
unless there is some particular reason for the
action
DIAZ ON MEXICAN INVESTMENTS.
"Will you please give me some of the best
fields for the investment of capital in Mexico,
Mr.. President?" said l.
President Diaz replied: ''The country and its
resources are so large and the fields for proita-
BILE investment so many that it is almost i'm
possible to ltemlZe them. / would say, how
ever that the following schedule is worthy of
study:
estate of Chiatas-Mines and agriculture.

culture.
state of San Louis Potosi-Agricultur
mines and trade.
Estate of Chihuahua-Cattle raising and min
ing.
Estate of Observation-Disclosures
state of Vera Cruz-Agriculture.
state of Coahuila-Agriculture, cotton. &c.
''In ge .eral. however," continued MIR. Diaz
as he looked over this list 'it may be said that
these fields are practically unlimited. Chiatas
is an entirely new field of enterprise and its
mineral resources are said to be abundant.

and capable Of producing a great variety Of

tanning their grip. Such gross ignorance or

would border upon the ludicrous did not one
reflect that the injustice toward harassed sis

northern provinces-as children pretend keep

the extent of sending ministers to foreign

gentlemen will hardly be recognized by any re-
spectacle power until they are founded upon
something more substantial than the ''baseless
fabric of personal ambitions and vituperation
OF the government they have wronged. The
end is not yet. but apparently farther away
than ever. No man can tell what the result
Will be-. but one thing is certain. viz, that
Americans have no sort of business with Chili's
political muddles and would better keep out Of
them altogether. FANNIE B. WARD.
