Commenting on the peuetrative powers OF ths
smSll-arms lately introduced into the armies
OF all the great powers, Col. Lonsdals Halls
states that the minimum thickness Of ordinary
soil aIording protection is 80 inches, while
single brick walls, after being struck q few
times, no longer afford any cover. The new
German rida ranges up to 1000 Yards and as
600 yards the bullet will penetrate 10 inches
OF fir or pine. and II inches Of sand. At $50
yards the bullet can pierce three or four ranks,
snd at 1880 yards man may no longer con-
sder himself safe. even if the bullet has
already penetrated two Of his comrades.
With regard 70 'smokelcss powder" the
same authority observes that. though the re-
port OF the rifle when fired is heard, it is very
difficult to see whence the rifles are fred
Under certain conditions no trace Of smoke

On the whole Col. Hale considers that only o

Mexico's Era of Prosperity.

To whom is due the past 10 years peace and
prosperity? To President Psrhrio Dias alone.
And even If there are two or three ugly little
"reminiscences during them, they were forced
upon him for the good Of tho comnonweal.
The country has been actually at peace for
the first time since its birth. From being an
Ultima Thule, it has taken its place among the
Nations. Its railroads, telsgraphs electric
lighting, steamboat lines, its diplomatic rela-
tions with other countries. the development Of
it's wonderful natural riches-mines, timber,
hemp, coffee, tobacco, sugar, rubber, and an in
fnity of other things-and above all, it's edu-
cational systcm-all these are due to the brains
and determination of Porfrio Diaz. Long
may he live to govern the country! Never
mind the anomaly of the Government being
called Republic whan it is really military
despotisrn. If your despot is an able and
honest man, it is the best form of Government
the world knows.
There is now really no strong man in Mexico
to take Diazs place. Gen. Corona-murdered,
alas by lunatic short while ago-was broad
and able enough to have succeeded him, but
there is no man else. The fierce old Gen.
Gonzales, the one-armed ex-President. who
feareth neither man, God, nor devil, is as happy
as sick man can be in his Governorship of
Guanaiuato, and he has not the following to
oppose Diaz.

EDITORS CHAT.
A WORD ON STREET ETIQUET.

a
Street department should be carefully studied.
Nothing SO easiiy distinguishes the refined and
gentle from the rude and unculiivaied as their
bearing ia public places. few unfai!ing rules Of
what TO do and what not 10 do should be remem-
bered by all.
To begin with one should have proper regard
for his own appearance; he should walk erect,
with his shoulders back. his head up and his toes
out. Thi. recollection of what is due himself will
quicken his sensiblties 10 what is due to
Others.
When one walks the street he should be careful
not to iostle against people; he should not rake
the heads Of others with his umbrella, trespass
upon their forward course by wRbbling from
eide of the pavement to the other.
He should never stop to converse with friend
sn the middle OF the street. but withdraw him TO
one side and not oblige passers-by TO go around
Robin Hoods barn TO pursue their destination.
A gentleman should never stop lady the
street. but IL he wishes to talk with her he should
turn and walk her way. IT is in very bad form
for men and women, or women alone, TO cluster
in groups OF the sidewalk and laugh and talk and
gestcUlate.
The loud laugh, the rude "helio" the excited
scream the noisy rebuff, marks Of The H.
bred and uncouth. Cultivate quiet, sef-contained
behavior and caln and gentle speech.
IL Is well to be pleasant Of face when one walks
the street, and 10 be on the alert TO recognize an
acquaintance. But under no circumstances shout
oat the name IN passing, as - Mr. Smith, or Nrs
Smith" Bow and smile only to the casual
Quaintance. but 20 more intimate you may say
Good morning." Good evening" or " How do
you 90. !" "a lovely day." etc.
DO not let your eyes roam around the streets
looking 10 the right and left and giving people a
broad aud curious stare. And never recognize q
person across the street. Ladies particularly
should avoid :lis most questionable habit.
DO not 90 along the street nluncbing fruit
eating candy aud nuts. This is in extremely bad
taste As for gum chewing, il is a practice SO
sbominable that one OF any sense Of propriety
VIII need 10 he warned against It.
Smoking on the streets, tobacco chewing and to-
bacco splitting, remnants of barbarsni. No
gentleman viii take the risk Of being ciRssed with
roughs by indnlsing in habits offensive aud in
ezcusabie In public. even though he may be their
Eaye in private.
Always keep 20 the right; be ready to answer
Inquiries and point the way strangers; protect
the agsd. defend the weak, and lend a helping
hand 20 the distressed who may need assistance.
BE civilized, be Christisnized, snd you will never
