TIE MEXICAN luUSEuOLD.
1t Is Arranged and Conducted on nm
Economical and Orderly
Plan.

The arrangement of furniture is
much more formal than in the United
States. |! is Il vCry common sight to
see a Observation-Disclosures parlor with
Il row Of STRAIGHTFORWARD chairs all
alike with their bac.:s against the wall
and as close together as they can be
placed clear around the room, says
the Modern Mexican.
Heavy single doors, such as are used
in the United States, are practically
unknown in Mexican houses either at
entrances or between interior rooms.
All doors open in Che middle and are
fastened with bolts at top and bot
tom. Exterior doors are always fitted
with glass panels, for they also serve
as windows. All such doors opening on
the street or open courts are fitted
with solid shutters that are folded at
the sides out of sight when not in
use. . ....
A good Mexican cook relieves the
mistress of the house of worry and re-
sponsibility in n n that is al.
most unknown in the United States.
The cook is given so much a day. and
with this amount she will purchase
each morning all the provisions for
the day. including ever the staples
that are usually bought in large guam
titles in other countries. On q dollar
q day n cook will provide n very good
table for n family of three or four.
and get enough beans and tortillas and
chile to set The servants table besides.
They Gun really do better than their
mistresscs. because they can usually
drive sharper bargains with the mar
ketmen Of their w class, and they
have more patience to haggle over the
last penny.

earning wages, and men are earning
more wages with which to buy, and
prices of farm products of all sorts
have risen notwithstanding the large
crops of the year. The statistics of
the agricultural department show that
the cereal crops Of the United States
for 1897 were worth $4,000 900 more
than in the preceding year, and that
the values of farm animals, horses,
COWS, sheep, hogs, ETC., have increased
in the year something like 1925, 900, 900.
the increase in values being distri-
buted through every state and terri
tory. This is not merely chance-thiS
great rise in prices of practically
every article of farm production: nor
can it be successfully charged to
''shortage abroad" it is the result Of
change of policy.
No president was ever more highly
complimented or received greater evil
dence of the confidence Of the whole
people than was President Mckinley
when a congress, composed Of repre-
Sentatiyes Of three great parties.
voted unanimously to place in bis
hands, without restriction, $4,000. 900
to be used in the national defenSes
and to be used in carrying out what
ever policy his judgment might die
tate, as events should call for action.
1t not infrequently happens that men
for purely partisan reasons and for
advancement of the interests of their
organization criticiSe, sometimes
harshly, representative of the party
to which they are opposed, but when
in a crisis such as this, members Of
all parties united in unanimously
placing in the hands of the chief
executive of the nation a vast sum Of
money to be expended in furtherance
of the policy which he is cautiously
and cOnScientiously following out, it
shows how little is meant by many
such criticisms and how complete
after all is the confidence Of the citi-
zens, irrespective of party, in the
man in whose hands the deStinieS Of
the nation have thus been placed.

THE BEGINNING OF THE MOVEMENT.

The movement to introduce art into
the schOol-room by bringing children
into daily familiarity with examples of
good art originated in Manchester,
England. The first attempt in this
country was made some twenty-odd
years ago, lin Boston, by committee
of the American Social Science Associa-
ton. The girls high school was selected
as atfording perhaps the most promising
conditions for success in such an eX-
pertinent. The walls of the school hall
were painted in terra Gotta, and more
than fifteen hundred dollars was raised
for The purchase of casts of the Par
thenOn frieze, together with statues,
busts and pictures. From time to time
additions have been made to the cOllec-
ton, and the graduating classes OF the
school leave behind them as a memento
Of their interest various beautiful and
appropriate examples of art. Though
for nearly twenty years the Girls High
school of Boston stood as the only
representative of such an experiment
in schoUl-roUm decoration, it is certain

Conditions of Trade.

Neither peace nor war reports have
changed the onward current of business.
Orders for more than So. 500.0 600 gold
from Europe have blocked any drift
towards stringency in rates FIR money,
and treasury receipts of about 81 100, 900
per day have kept in check any ques-
ton about the currency, while exports
of products have continued at a rate
considerably increased. and the demand
for products of the great industries
shows great expansion. Prompt action
by the senate and house has removed
all fear of embarrassment through con-
tiicting purposes at Washington. The
government is making ready without
any waste of time, whiie frankly assur-
ing every bodv that it looks for peace
full settlement, and hopes that its pre-
parations may prove unnecessary.
The backbone of the situation is the
excess of merchandise exports, again
more than S41 600 1000 in February, with
an increase of 100000 in misceI-
laneOuS pfOOuCtS, o., IUO,U0U IN prOVIS-
ions, 81 100000 IN cotton, and 5000, 900
in breadstufts compared with last wear,
and So, 100000 in all products. In two
weeks of March exports have been Is
per cent. larger than last year, and
imports have gained but s I per cent,
although especially swelIed by receipts
of india rubber, sugar and hides. The
outgo of cotton snrpasses all expecta-
tons, though the price WAS stronger
last week, and the export demand
apparently paid no attention to market
fluctuations. Receipts from plantations
continue much greater than at the
corresponding date from the largest
crop heretofore produced, so that
guesses about the future crop are now
the main reliance Of spectators.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1898-03-24

Fifteen thousand carloads of mai
matter, it is said, are sent out everv
Sunday under the orders ofthe National
Postotfice department., in caring for
which the services of 100000 men are
required. An exchange in calling atten-
ton to this fact forcibly suggests that to
ask the government, which thus desc
crates Sunday, to enact a law against
Sunday work, would be muck like ask
ing burglars to enact a law against
house-bl eakinr.
