h the Mexican Household

ihe arrangement of furniture ia much more formal than in the United States. It Is q very common sight to see q splendidly furnished parlor with row of stralght-b backed chairs all alike with their backs against the wall and as close together as they can be placed clear around the room.
 Heavy single doors. such as are used in the United States, are practI. cally unknown in Mexican houses either at entrances or between jn- terior rooms All doors open in the middle and are fastened with bolts top and bottom. Exterior doors are always fitted with glass panels. for they also serve as windows. All such doors opening on the street or open court 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 responsibility in manner that is aI- 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 even the staples that are usually bought in large quan- titles in other countries. On q dollar day q cook will provide q very good table for family of three or four. and get enough beans and tortillas and chile to set the servants table be- sides. They can really do better than their mistresses, because they can us ually drive sharper bargains with the of their own class. and they have more patience to haggle over the last penny.

How England Sools Gibraltar.

GIbralter was taken by the English in 1704, during the war of the Spanish succession, a war which was provoked by the aggressive policy of France in endeavoring to place monarch of the French family apon the Spanish throne, and thus consolidate the two kingdoms into one. The fortress was then captured, alipost by surprise, though the Spaniaras and French. ap- preciating the strategic value of the place, made desperate efforts to re- cover 1t. but were repulsed at every point. Between ths date of it's capture and 1779 repeated efforts were made by Spain to recover the fortress, and in the latter year the greatest armament that was ever brought to bear upon besieged place lay before Gibraltar. The siege lasted, og and on, for many months. The investing force comprised 12,000 troops of France. over twice as many of the best infantry of Spain. and the fleet consisted of forty-seYen ships, all three-dac ackers; ten great floating batteries, esteemed invineibles. carrying PIP guns, innumerable frig- ates, bomb-ketchea, cutters, gun and mortar boats. For weeks together over 5000 shells day ware thrown into the town and repeated attempts were made to storm the works, but the little gar rison of only 1000 men repelled every assault and finally succeeded in beat ing off the allied fleet. The blockade began June 21, 1770, and lasted until February 1783. when the garrison was finally relieved by the arrival of a British fleet and army. Since that time the Qualifications of Gibraltar have been so improved and increased that 1t is regarded as the strongest fortress in the world. The British gov ernment maintains there a garrison of from 5000 to 10000 men. with pro- visions for six months, and it Is said the supply of military material is sui f1eient to enable the fortress to stand a siege of indefinite length.

The Gargon's Head.

There is a great store of iron at Elizavetpol, but it is so heavily assoei- ated with tttanium, and this is so ex- pensive to cast off, that it is not belieY- ed it can be proftably worked. AFrench engineer who studied the Caucasus products, said that this ore is of so little value that mountains of it in the United States are considered worthless, and passed over by capital. In order to work it at all, coke is necessary, and there is no coking coal in the region. A Russian engineer, interested in de- Veloping the country, says that a coal that will produce coke has been found at place thirty yersts from KOtais but this has yet to be demonstrated Kotais, by the way, is the place to which the Argonauts came, and whence they brought back the Gorgon's head, with its flaming eyes, It's hair of snakes and it's appearance Of fearful feroeity, the whole being symbolical of the feYer-producing climate and fierce wild beasts which still render the locality one to be avoided.
