are dated the same day, and one, which
the ambassador is directed to communi-

elaborate or of expensive material, but
there must be enough of them for the

Mexlco's Mineral Wealth.

The number of mines now being
worked in Mexico, according to recent
data, is at least 5000, with others
worked only at intervals, and others
still whose operations are hardly
worthy of mention. If to these are
added the large number of abandoned
claims, many Of which, if reopened,
would yield important returns-even
greater in some cases than those now
in course of development-the total
would reach, according to our chief
informant incredible figures" while
new mines are being discovered day by
day. The total amount invested in the

There are whispering flowers and trees that

There the stately lily bends down her head
For the sweet caress of a childish hand
And the royal rose Is blossoming red

A NAVAL FLYING COLUMN.
Difficulties Encountered In Maneayering Q
large Water Force.


! II is impossible for us to go far, or &c
stay out long, without extrancous sup
plies. 1t mist either arrange to pass
from friendly port to friendly port,
drawing cool form each (but at the
same time giving notice of its where
abouts, just as if it were marching on
land, or it must take a train with II
just like any military flying column.
But then it must be assured of non
hostile anchorages in which to trans
fer the coal and stores from the trans
ports to the war ships. Hence a mod
ern naval flying column. passing over
a sea which it does not command, has
difficulties before it which its
ancestors never had. As a flo
tilla it may perhaps be dou-
bled in size for any given
strength, il it is to be made independ.
ent of extraneous supply. But every
supply ship added to it makes it less
likely to be able to put to sea unob.
served or unattached. To avoid this
danger it must be very small. 1t can
only be large when frontier defense
fails, but then it marches by reason Of
its force, as Wellington marched In
1913, giving up the Lisbon base, or as
Sherman marched, giving up the Mis-
sissippi base, in 1864.
If "A naval flying column can march.
not by force, but by evasion, without a
train, and so keep its fighting power
coterminous with its size, it must
either have its objective at a very short
distance, or, if its objective is at
great distance, it must have friendly
port open near the objective, al
ready stored with coal and muni-
tions. Wellington could not pos
sibly have marched to fight the
battle of Vittoria had he not been
relying on supplies coming to him from
over sea to Santander and other north
ern Spanish ports. sherman could not
possibly have marched across the con-
federate states if he had not known
that his friends were in possession of
Port Royal and other places on the
sea coast where he could receive sup
plies.
1t is not possible for flying column.
either by land or sea, to march to a
great distance aud forwith deliver a
heavy attack. Even those extremely
light flying columns, the confederate
Alabamas, succumbed one after TN
other, either directly, like the Sumter.
or indirectly, like the Alabama her
self, to the inexorable law of supply.
Not one of them ever dared to contem.
plate the madness of an attack on terri
tory. Admiral Colomb, in National

Too Many Funerals.

A gentleman whose summer home is

last fall man servant from the coun-
try who had never before been in Bos-
ton. The sights and scenes in big
city impressed him peculiarly. The
other day he went TO his employer and
said:
''Mr. H, shall have to go back

"wLy, Tom, have you not been tfeat-
ed kindly here?'
'sOh, yes, the treatment is all right,
but then I'm afraid of my health"
How is that?"

piece, Cell had the modiste carried
out tlic-Ssheme Of combining these two
colors.
Madame also showed re several
dresses to be worn by members of the
debutante's family. A young married
sister will wear low. square-cut cor
sage of Nile-green miroir with a white
satin skirt brocaded in silver, the whole
trimmed with the glossiest of glossy
ivy leaves.
The mothers toilet was OF satin, soft
gray in color and trimmed with pearl
and silver passementerie and fine old
lace. 1t was the gown par excellence
for the matron, with gloves and slip
pers of gray to complete the toilet
The fancy for waists of different
material from that of the skirt Is
prettily carried out in the decollete
gowns made for coming balls and smart
social functions. Miroir velvet of deli
cate shade and exquisite luster is used
with beautiful effect for corsages to be
worn with white satin skirts. Flower
and leaf trimmings are used very eff
fcctively on these waists, and just at
the present moment lace is omitted
A love of waist that excited my
deepest admiration was Of rose pink
velvet. cut square in the neck back
and front, with black chiffon drawn
softly at one side through paste
buckle. The sleeves were large puffs
with frills of fine black lace. 1t was
very pleasing, indeed, and just suited
to wear at home in the evenings with
the old black skirt we are all supposed
to possess.
have seen some lovely little theater
blouses lately. The latest, like every
thing else that halls from Paris, are
spangled. A charming little affair in
coral color crepe de chine had the front
arranged in box plaits with loose side
plaits between, with the box plaits
spangled. The upper part Of the half
deeollete corsage was lace with wide
black velvet bands, finished with choux
going over the shoulders. The sleeves
were immense, and softly yelled under
a drapery Of lace.
Another new model is of petunia sat
in with cape of black satin edged
with frill. A black chiffon cravat
and wide box plat down the front
and buttoned with diamonds COM
plete it.
might add in passing that box plaits
appear to be the inevitable .acconpani-
ments to all the new bodies, whether
OF velvet, cloth or silk.
Capes have not lost one iota of their
popularity; and sorae of the newest
ones are enough to tempt the most res
olute woman into bankruptcy.
The most dressy ones are of velvet,
either colored or black, embroidered in
jet cabochous and colored sequins,
edged with the inevitable sable and
lined with white satin. The white or
