1t is not believed that the president
of Mexico will in his message announce
any radical change in the currency pol
icy. The manufacturing and agricul-
tural Industries are unanimously in IA
vor of the silver standard.
1t is believed that at the present price
of wheat at City of Mexico wheat
-four can be shipped to the United States
at a profit, as the grain is grown and
flour made on the silver basis. Wheat
in some parts of the country is selling
at prices equal to so to so cents gold per
American standard bushel. Various
lines of manufactures can be exported
to the United States, among them some
grades of hats and leather work. It is
believed that a method of tanning
leather has been discovered equal to the
best American process, and if this
proves correct Mexican leather can be
manufactured in modern shoe fac
tories and the product exported at a
good profit. Manufacturers are look

guest, "put / haven't auotncr rvC:- 10
the house tonight. If you could use
this till morning I'll fix you up right for
tomorrow" But the inducement, per-
suasivly delivered, failed to work, and
the grum-looking man went away.
When he had got over the threshold
the suave clerk smiled pensive smile
and said "You can't do anything with
these fellows. 1t beats the world how
q man will let his prejudices drive him
out into the night to seek inferior &C.
commodations. And yet this man
looked like he knew better, too"
"What was it dissatisfied him?"
Nothing in the world except that in
the only room he'd have there was a
folding bed. You see we are crowded
now and there are but few vacant
apartments. He is a crank on the sub
ject of folding beds because in modern
times two or three human beings have
been caught in them, when they folded
mp inopportunely. and had their lives
crushed out. l pleaded with him that
no such disaster could happen to him
here, for nowadays folding beds are
made with patent catches that abso-
lutely prevent them from manslaugh-
ter. No matter how sorely bed such
as we have should yearn to close up on
its slumbering victim these catches for

effect"
Are most people imbued with this
prejudice?"
"Yes; think a majority of the trav-
cling public has that feeling and do
not believe the time will ever come
when the folding bed will gain the full
confidence of the American people,

Aid For Her Sex
FIND A CAVE IN TEXAS.

Mysterious and UnexpIored Cavern
Discovered Near Marble Falls.
The finding of revolver at the mouth
of cave in the Burnam pasture, near
Marble Falls, Tex, has given rise to
much speculation. The peculiar weapon
was discovered some months ago by
Mr.. Henderson, a tenant, but he kept
the secret until recently. 1t is of for
eign make, containing q mammoth cyl
inder and rather short barrel. 1t Is
of 3S-caliber, and when found contained
five loaded cartridges and seven empty
hulls. The cartridges were fired by
means of a needle protruding from near
the rim, upon which the fiat surface Of
the hammer fell. The handle to the re-
volver consists at present Of only an
iron framework, the wood part having
long since decayed. The barrel and
cylinder are eaten some with rust, and
show a surprising state of preservation.
On metallic plate, or mounting, over
the cylinder is the inscription 'Fusnot
BruxeIles." 1t was found lying on a
rock very close to the mouth of huge
limestone cave.
This cave is at present the center of
attraction for relic hunters, but as yet
no one has succeeded in exploring it.
Superstition keeps many out, but the
chief obstacle now is choke damp. The
explored part consists of rectangular
opening, from which extend two mar
row chambers of unknown lengths,
one extending north, the other south.
| L. E. Ponton, one of an exploring
party just returned from there, was let
down to the bottom on rope. The
candle refusing to burn on account OF
the poisonous gas, he signaled to be
drawn up, having only had glimpse
of the large horizontal passages leading
away from the bottom of the aperture
1t Is understood that Others will make
still more daring efforts to find the
buried treasure, human skeletons OF
whatever glittering or grim secrets the
mysterious cavern may have to dis
close.
Experts say the revolver has appar
emily lain there half century or there
abouts and old settlers tell legends of a
den of Mexican banditti which seems tc
correspond closely with this place.

ExcusABLE.

One of the army chaplains, an Irish man, Murphy by name, was full of hu- man nature, and knew how to deal with the men in such way as to gain their respect and win their hearts, He seemed to think that profanity may somtimes be overlooked, as military necessity. During a severe storm a number of soldiers and a newspaper correspondent were standing under a tree, and Father Murphy was stand ing on the other side of the tree. As the lightning flashed over their heads and the water ran down their backs, one of the soldiers burst into a vivid and profane denunciation of Cuban weather and Cuban things in general
 Stop it." said the correspondent, there's a parson right behind you;" and the soldier brought his remarks on the weather to an abrupt close. Af- ter the storm was over he was intro duced to Father Murphy and said in a rather shamefaced way: II hope, Fa- ther, you'll excuse me for swearing the way I did when we were under the tree"
 Certainly, my friend, certainly" |" said the Father Indeed, you were not swearing at all, merely underlining yours words. I quite agree with all you said"-Chicago Advance.

The following anecdote is given me by an Indian officer as illustrative of the manners and customs of the willy Pathan. A certain general and his staff, while vending their way through one of the narrowest valleys of Tirah, were annoyed by the attentions of a solitary marksman, who from time to time sent a bullet unpleasantly close. At last the general turned to his order ly-a Pathan sowar-and told him to d,smount, take his carbine, and try and stalk the mountaineer., The sewar started off, and presently there was a crack, and gray bearded old Afridi tumbled headlong down the mountain side The sowar rejoined and fell into his place.
