While the South is making such no
table progress, Mexico has awakened from
her long slumber, notes the New York
News, and is working out her manifest
destiny. For generations that country
has dwelt in idleness and its vast natural
wealth has been left untouched. Under
the wise administration of President
Diaz, however,a new era has been begun
and wonderful change is taking place,
both politically and morally, among the
people. Native genius has suddenly be-
come active. The Government is invit-
ing immigration. Capital is flowing in
to aid domestic industries and the State
is making judicious provision for the ed
ucation OF the masses. Improved finan-
cial legislation Is doing much to cstab-
Iish tho present constitutional Govern
nent upon a solid and popular basis.
Railroads are penetrating comparatively
unknown regions, yet among the richest
in the republic, and we read of great set
dement's of Mormons, prosperously en-
gagged in agriculture, with soil around
them so fertile that it needs TO be only
'tackled with a hoe to laugh with a
harvest" In brief, growth is going on
at rate which indicates that the land
of the Montezumas is on the eve of a pc.
ROD of prosperity that may soon eclipse
its legendary grandeur.

The Chicauo Post observes

suggesting the Hon. Joseph Mu(hattor
at his best comes to us from glorious
Colorado. 1t tells OF young English
lady, accomplished and beautiful, o.
course, who, while out sketching the
magnificent pictures OF nature, was sur
rounded by fifty head of wild cattle.
They moved to ward her threateningly,
the finished romancist goes on to state,
and, at n loss to know what else to do,
the fair girl braced herself aud began to
sing in sweet, pure, soulful tones the
soldiers chorus from "Faust." Upon
this, according to the vivacious nara
tor, the animals, one after another,
charmed by the delicious music, began
quietly to graze and the brave young
woman "walked through them" without
being molested. While admiring her
intrepid feat OF walking through wild
cattle, one cannct but wonder how the
fierce animals would have treated her
had she selected Wagner music for the
occasion

gated sun protectors, but the Indians
would not have them and green and blue
had to be supplied as the fashionable

The San Francisco Chronicle declares: /:
"The fact that over five million dollars
was paid out to redeem the trade dollars
has come out in queer fashion. When
the Job was being put through it was de-
clsred that the amount of trade dollars
still ahoat was comparatively insignin-
cant. A million dollars was represented
at the outside figure. OF course there
was no way Of disproving the assertion
at the time, but there was shrcwd sus'
picion that it was not true. Now we
have the facts, and they show that the
syndicate which managed the deal must
have mado about a million dollars, per-
haps more. There was never more
unblushing fraud perpetrated. lhf
trade dollars were never worth more
than the bullion contained in them, and
it is not true that any considerate mum

The new steel cuirass, which covers
the breast only, has been introduced into
the Austrian army, and the designer of
it claims that it is impossible for bull
let projected by any rifle known to mod
ern warfare to pcaetrate it. Another
advantage which it possesses over any
other similar piece of armor, and one
which even non-military mind can ap-
preciate, is that it is so jointed that it
can be folded up and packed away in an
an ordinary knapsack with other portions
of the soldiers kit, and without taking
up an excessive amount OF room.

His Sea Legs Make Him a Butt.

Sailors, like horsemen, have a ten
dency to become bow legged, and the
popularity is not confined TO common
seamen. An old admiral, whose long
sea service had given his legs decided
outward curvature, once had singular
adventure on this account with ships
pet. The crew of the ship owned large
black spaniel, and took great pains in
teaching him to jump. A man, standing
up, would put one foot against his other
knee, thus making hole for Nep, the
dog, to make his leap through. The
dog always jumped through the aperture
readily though if his trainers legs hap
pened to be short, it was sometimes q
rather tight squeeze. One day the ad-
miral came aboard from the flag ship on
a visit of inspection. Happening to
walk to the forward part of the ship, be
stood there for few minutes conversine
with the officer who had attended him.
Here he was spied by the dog Nep
stood moment surveying the admiral's
bowl legs. Suddenly the dog made a
IuSh " tuC iCkst ahb % hiau iSap 'hAOuS II
the tempting gap. In astonishment at
the black tornado that had passed be-
meath him, the admiral whirled quickly
about to see what was the cause. The
dog took this action as signal for an
"encorc" aud jumped again. Once more
the admiral turned, and again the dog
jumped. The bewildered face of the
admiral and the serious attention of Nep
to what he imagined was his business,
were too much for the gravity of the by
ISLANDERS, and, forgetting the respect
due to rank, they all roared with laugh
ter. A ssilor, however, had enough
presence of mind to break from the
crowd and catch the dog by the collar.
He led him off, and as he did SO Nep
seemed to wonder why he did not re-
ceive the praise due to such spirited ef-
forts. The excited admiral got but an
imperfect explanation of the affair from
the spectators, for they could hardly tell
him that his legs had been used as a
kind Of circus hoop by forecastle dog.
Perhaps to his dying day the occurrence
was a mystery to him, -Argondut.

In parts OF the IIankow district opium
Is used as a medium of exchange, and
the Consul there explains the curious
circumstance in this way: Commerce,
except along the water routes, is in a
primitive condition. The great weight
Of the copper coinage renders it insult
able for exchange. Silver, which is
used in the small towns, is used in bulk
by weight. 1t is melted into Jumps OF
varying purity and weight. The most
genarally used vary from sixty eight
to seventy ounces each. The inconveu-
ience Of dividing it ID a serious drawback
to its being used in the country, as ii
also the difficulty Of testing its pureness.
The credit Of the native bankers is NOT
widely enough established to give an cx'
tended currency to their notes. Under
these conditions opium Is found useful,
in addition to pure Barter, which still
prevails to some extent, in facilitating
the exchange of commodities. In this
respect it has three advantages-it is al.
most universally In demand, it is light
and portable, and it is easily divided
into small quantities. London Times.

A woVDRRFUL HERITAGE,

The more a man is buleted and wounded,
disappointed and humiiNted, wronged and
persccuted in this LITE the more he comes to
fall back upon the sovereign power OF God.
God is just, loving, omniscient and almighty.
The reius OF the world never slip nor
slacken in His hand lie Is never mistaken,
never forgethll nor negligent never defeated
and nothing eventuates contrary to bis
will Though He tolerntes wrongs tenn
porariy, He will right them. Though He
permits suffering, He sees clearly the path
along which It will find cuimlnation in peace
and JOY.
God is as good as He is strong, benevo-
ent as He is wise true as He is great We
can trust in Him, rest in Him, and we can
assure ourselves that all that there is of Him
in power, wisdom, love, Is ours. The
weakes. Of us is in Him stronger than all the
powers Of time, circumstance, or enemies
that may be arrayed against us. God Is our
Father, and no earthly fathers love Is SO
pure and true as His love. But for suffer

know how wondrous heritage we have in
