I'oliteness Pays.

II have often heard my uncle, " said
the nephew Of Il noted lawyer who died
lately, dwell upon the fact that he
owed much of his success in life to a
habit of invariable politeness, without
any element of todyis,n, which had
been instilled into his nature by the
teachings Of wise mother. His first
start in his profession came through an
old scrubwoman who was employed
about the house where he boarded when
young man. Ono morning he passed
out as she was scrubbing the front
steps, and he saluted her politely, as
usual She stopped him. They tell
me ye are a lawyer, she said. Yes. ,
We'll, know poor wildly woman
that wants a lawyer, and if you will
give me your address I'll tell her. ;
The poor wildly proved to be the chief
heir to a large estate in Delaware coun-
ty. My uncle became her attorney
and trustee of her children, recovered
her interest in the estate and derived a
good income from its management for
many years. I" ,,

inc in Wealth.
SENATOR TELLBR'S ABLE REPORT
The Wonderful Growth and Develop.
ment OF Our Southern NeighbOr,
Due to the Coinage of Silver,
Which Is the General Cir
cu!atinG Medium There.

Senator Teller has been in Mexico
for recreation and to study the money
question. He reports cordial reception
from President Daz and other officials.
In an interview he spoke of Mexico's
prosperity as follows:
Mexico is enjoying a greater degree
of prosperity than ever before, and there
is very hopeful feeling among the peo-
pie, both native and foreign, as to the
future Manufacturers are sprlnging up
everywhere. The country has made
great progress in the industrial arts and
pursuits during the last seven or eight
years and all the foreigners that met
said that the progress made in that time
was phenomenal and would continue.
The high price of exchange has stimulated
the production Of many articles not here
tofore produced in Mexico, and will large
ly stimulate the export Of agricultural
products. This is particularly true OF
coffee, and [ found quite a number OF
American and English capitalists who
are putting their money into coffee plan
tations. But it is quite apparent to me
that the greatest field for investment Is
in general manufactures, including the
production Of cotton and woolen goods,
as we'll as the manufacture Of machinery
of all kinds and classes
''The present production OF silver in
Mexico" he said, "now amounts to about
S420O0O0O annually, and | do not believe
it will diminish, but rather expect to see
it increase. There is q desire to see
the United States take hold Of the silver
question and settle it, visited a large
cotton mill there that had $4,000 spindles
and 1000 looms with all the modern ap-
plianaces and I was quite surprised to
learn that most of the cotton being
consumed was from Texas.

large establishment, which has been in
operation great many years, and has
produced more silver coins than any other
mint in the world They have no gold
IN circulation, but have bills, the same
as in this country. Silver is the general
circulating medium. and IS the standard
of value. There has been no falling off
of prices in Mexico as has been the case
in the United States for the last twenty
years, and prices have been practically
stable, except as there has been some
slight increase because of the increased
activity of business which, Of course. has
tendency to raise prices of products as
we'll as slightly to raise the price of labor
but not very much.

Origin OF the Chinese Cue.

Ii seems that IL was not the custom
Of the ancient Chinese to shave the
head and wear cue. That was Gus
tom brought In by the Tartar invaders,
nearly three hundred years ago, and
they forced IL upon the conquered
provinces. The result was that many
Chinese were driven into Corca, and
the inhabitants Of that province when
they yielded % the suzerainty OF the
Tartars stipulated that they should DO
permitted 10 preserve their ancient
dress. So the Corcnns do not shave the
head, bat wear their hair as their an
cestors wore it four thousand years
ago, "a manner which is seen in China
only on the stage.
