Ell pORADOIN MEXICO

Guerrero, Where Hundreds of Mines
We're Worked by the spaniards of
Old.
How many Americans have heard OF
the state of Guerrero? 1t is one Of the
richest mining regions in Mexico, and
it is said that its soil is crust Of sill
yer and gold. Here the first mines
were worked by the Spaniards, and the
country contains hundreds of abandon
cd mines to-day. 1t lies on the Pacific,
and is only partially known. IL had
one mine which produced $4,000
ounces OF silver in a few months, and
it is surrounded by great states which
are now being for the first time care
fully investigated. OaXaca, just below
it, is now being penetrated by the Next
can Southern Railroad, and this, says
Il writer in the ST. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat, will bring vast gold bearing re-
gion into the market. The state Is one
IN which President DiaZ was born,
and it is the one which will be on the
Tehauntepec ship railway If il is ever
completed. 1t has vast acres of good
Land, and / know half dozen Ameri-
can capitalists who expect to make for
tunes out Of the coal fields which they
have discovered in it.
Coal is about $26 ton in the City Of
Mexico, and there are said TO be fine
iron deposits in near proximity 10
these coal fields. The climate Of all
this part Of Mexico is very fine, and
the capitalists who would buy some Of
the agricultural lands along this route
would make a fortune. The public
lands are worth from 20 TO 40 cents an
acre, and they viii raise coffee and SUI
gar and all kinds Of grains. This new
railroad will, and does already, tap the
mining regions of the state Of Pueblo,
which contains both silver and gold,
and one Of the finest specimens OF gold
ever brought into Mexico City was
shown to an American business man
there by an Indian from this state
about month ago. 1t was nugget
Of solid gold as big as your fist The
American entered into a contract with
the man for the development OF the re-
gion where 1t was found, and he travel
ed with him on horseback for several
days, when the Indian told him he had
forgotten the place. This was of course
a lie.

when they are compelled TO risk their
lives perhaps n dozen times during
the thirty days. They patrol the
coast all the time and on stormy nights
their vigilance must be doubled.
Without the night patrol the coast
guard would be of little use. The pa
troll stations are divided into four
watches Of two men each. At sunset
they leave the station and separate,
going TO right and left until they meet
the patrol OF other stations. The pa
trolmen exchange suitably Inscribed
checks, which is proof that their work
has been performed. Having done this
they go back to their houses, from
which their rellefs set out and perform
the same service, and so on through
the whole night. The stations on the
Atlantic coast are well built houses,
and are about five miles apart. The
telephone connects them in many

places. 1t costs 5000 to fully equip a
station with the necessary apparatus.
Each station must possess n surf or
lifeboat and Lyle gun, which weighs
1S5 pounds, and is the timely invention
Of Captain Lyle Of the army. This gun
is used to shooting line TO the wreck
ed vessel, and has been found to be the
best Of the many inventions put for
ward for this purpose. The breeches
buoy is another apparatus indispensa-
BILE to the life-saving station. 1t is
simply circular ring Of cork from
which hangs pair Of canvas brooches.
The whole is arranged to hang by an
iron ring TO the hawser, like the life
saving car. Sitting in the buoy, one
passenger at time Is drawn along
the ropes by means of hauling lines
aud is brought in safely from the
wreck.
When n vessel Is driven ashore by
day the sharp eye Of tho station look
out speedily discerns her and the
alarm is sounded If the wreck occurs
at night the vigilant patrol sees her
struggling in the breakers, and fash!
goes the Coston light, which tells the
imperiled crew that they have been
sighted. In thrice the wrecking crew
appears on the scene with the life-sav-
ing apparatus The lfeboat is always
used when the sea is within bounds,
though this is the most dangerous form
Of rescue. If the sea is too much for
the boat and its crew, lire is attach
cd TO acylindrical shot, and the Lyle
gun sends it across the wreck. Those
on board the laundering ship seize the
line and pull aboard a rope. which they
make fast TO the mast. The hauling
line also provides them with hawser.
The shore end of the Hawser passes
over an upright crotch secured by an
anchor, and over this bridge the life
car moves back and forth until all
have been saved.
Such. in brief, is the life-saving SER
vice Of our country. The men who &C.
cupy the stations are entitled to the
gratitude of the whole land for Their
bravery and vigilance. Though their
lives are not to be envied, they contain
some bright spots, for there are excel
lent libraries at the stations, and in
nice weather the men have sports Of
various kinds.

Man the LIfe-Boat.

Harbor ran line Of deadly reefs. Tt
was n veritable death ground to storm
struck vessels. Congress at last real
lied this, and built eight life-saving sta
tons along the coast. That was In
1917. Two years later Uncle Sam took
$4,000 from his pocket and put up
stations on Long Island, between Mon
tauk Point and Coney Island. Pleased
with his work, he tried again, and dis
tributed lifeboats along the coast of
the Southern states, and by and by the
little houses of the life-saVers arose on
our lake shores.
This was good work so far rs It
went, but it was not enough. The
stations had no regular crews. The
work of rescue was left TO the rough
and mcouth people who dwelt in the
ncighhorhood of the stations. Some Of
these people meant well enough, but
they were tinctured with certain law
lessness which meant harm. Tn - per-
mitted the stations TO fall into decay,
so that when wrecks occurred no as-
sistance could be rendered because the
life lines, buoys and even the boats had
been stolen. This would never do.
One night the ship Powha.tan won't
down off the Jersey coast and 800 lives
were lost, because Of the failure Of
our life-saving system.
The long. wished-for change came ut
last, and Uncle Sans coast guard as
1t exists to-day was organized. In 1860
the Hon. 5. :. Cox, the father of our
life-saving service, came to the rescue.
Once more Uncle Sam, listening 10 Mr..
Cox and some others, opened his purse
and took out 100000 for the service.
Sumner l. Kimball was placed at the
head Of the service, and he went to
work with n will. He discovered a
terrible state Of affairs. Rats and
thieves had rendered some of the sta
tons unfit for service and shot lines
and rockets were missing. No wonder
people were drowned. Mr.. Kimball
built new stations and repaired the old
ones. He put in new life-cafs and dis
charged the inefficient crews. The new
crews were regularly drilled, well fed
and regularly paid. That you may
know that Mr.. Kimball was the right
man in the right place and knew vat
he was doing, / have but to to- III
that out of twenty-five wrecks " III
occL cred on the Jersey coast that year
not one life was lost. From time to
time the efficiency Of our life-saving
service has been increased until 1t
seems to have reached perfection. The
whole of the Atlantic coast is now
patrolled by crews of experienced men,
and our lake shores are under the same
surveillance. The coast service Is di-
vided into twelve districts, controlled
by general superintendent, with head
quarters at Washington.
Then the stations themselves have q
general inspector, who is stationed at
New Work. Each district has super
intendent, who is responsible for the
efficiency of his station. Next comes
the stations which are in charge of
keepers, each Of whom must be an ex-
pert in boat craft, besides knowing all
surfing and how to take charge of
wrecking operations. Several able
surfmen constitute the crew ut each Of
the stations. They are paid at the
rate Of $50 month-not a great sum

The Specializing Habit.

ut is not the liquor itself which ex-
cessive drinkers consume that causes
all the woes they suffer-" said a physi-
clan, who is also n man Of the world,
in n cafe overlooking Herald SQUIRE.
I'm many cases the liquor habit is ac-
companied by another, almost equally
pernicious, which call the spice habit.
1t is as insidious and almost as hurtful
as the other. 1t arises from the Gus
tom which American drinkers have es-
tablished Of nibbliug at cloves, pepper
corns, allspice, bits Of cinnamon, scraps
OF lemon peel, calamus or other pun
gent condiments after swallowing their
beverage.
I'm every well ordered barroom now
a-days is to be found tray containing
some or all of the spices have named,
and from ii three men out of five who
take drinks in the place will select a
bit Of this, or that condiment after fin
ishing their tipple. These substances
are taken in n majority Of cases either
to remove the taste of the liquor from
the drinkers mouth or the odor of 1t
from his breath, but so common has
the practice become that in many in
stances 1t is as much a habit as the
drinking itself.
THE evils Of II are severe and var
led. Cloves are powerful irritant to
the stomach, and not infrequently they
remain in it unassimilated, serving as
a nucleus for the crystallization of aka
line properties, until finally they gath
er coating which gives them the APP
pearance of globules of glass. Pepper
corns, which many drinkers eat be-
tween tipples, have n highly debilitat-
ing effect upon the system; cinnamon
depresSes the action Of the heart, and
calamus, or sweet flag root, has n bad
effect upon the liver.
''The spice maitland many drinking
men are such slaves TO IL that they car
ry cloves or other condiments i'm their
pockets 20 nibble at in their working
hours--is scarcely less injurious to its
victims than alcohol. 1t is an evil,
moreover. which proprietors Of saloons
are largely responsible for increasing"

When the bloody covering was re-
moved from the face of the corpse, ana
the full light of the candles fiared upon
1t, wild cry burst from the lips OF the
landlords wife.

And with hysterical scream, she
fell insensible TO the floor.

claimed the daughter, as she struggled
to reach the bed. But the terrible
truth burst upon her, as her eyes fell
upon the mangled form of her brother
and she also swooned upon the body.
The cries of the broken-hearted fe-
males seemed to arouse the old man
for q moment, and gazing wildly ut the
sight before him, he also realized the
terrible truth-he had murdered his
own son.
On investigating the facts before the
magistrate of Springfield on the fol-
lowing day, 1t was ascertained that the
son Of the inn-keeper who was dis
sipated young man had visited the
town on the previous evening, where
with some associates, he had been en-
gagged in drinking till late hour and
being too much intoxicated to remount
his horse, and ashamed to meet his
family, some OF his fellows had ac-
companied him home; and supposinS
the room in which the drover had been
put TO be vacant, they assisted the
drunken man into the window. 1t was
their voices the ledger had heard, and
thus it was that the hapless youth met
his death.
The accOmplice of the landlord prov
cd to be his son-in-law.

Guiding this tale Of horror, that the
drover recovered his money; and JUS

Swedish birthdays.

Children in this country, however
much they may enjoy birthday celebra-
tons and gifts, are quite content to
have them once n year, but the fortu-
nate children of Sweden have three
birthdays in the course of every twelve
months. First, and most important is
the real birthday; but the other two
are also occasions for festivity and the
presentation of small gifts. These two
days are those whose names the Swed-
ish boy or girl bears. For every day
In the Swedish calendar has its own
special name, besides the weekly name
which 1t bears like the days of other
countries.
Sometimes the parents give child
one name which is not to found in the
Swedish calendar so that there is occa-
sionally q sorrowful plant such as the
one made by little girl who explained
rcgretfully to some English friends that
she had "only two birthdays" "One
Of my names is Sigrid," she said, land
there isn't any day for that"
Every day has a special name in the
German calendar as well, and some of
the names, allowing for the difference
in language, are the same in the cor
responding dates in the two calenders.
The observance Of such 'namesake
days" however, Is not by any means
so common in Germany as In Sweden.
To American ears the glib statement
made 10y little Swedish girl who was
asked MS TO the date of her birthday,
"rhe fifteenth of March, twenty-sec-
ond Of May, aad nineteenth of Novem-
ber," has at first decidedly strange
sound.

which, not very many years ago, were
