Whe Decide to EnsousaSs

With the greatest secrecy an anti
matrimonial club was recently formed
IN Boston. with membership of Just
l2. The secret was too much for one or
two OF the young men. and now nenrly
Ill about the unholy compact is known.
IL is proposed to dine annually us long
rs the men hold together. and should
pne of them be married he must give a
farewell dinner costing not less thnn
ten dollars n plate, and as much more
than that as he cares to afford. to II
he other members, and must also pny
nto the general treasury for the ac-
.umulation of club fund the sum OF
$500 as slight forfeit for his trenson
to the cause in taking unto himself q
wife. Eventually. II all but one. nem-
Der became married. the remaining
bachelor would pocket the coutribu-
ions Of the others, amounting to IS. 500
ind interest accruing from time to
lime, besides which he would meni,-
while enjoy many excellent dinners.
The members Of The Club Of Twelve,

ng their plan secret. fearing that IL Il
became generally known society might
'eceiye them less cordially than OF
yore. Such result has not yet become
apparent. Indeed. matchmaking
mammas laugh at the whole AFFAIR,
limiting that these vows of celibacy

GUANAJUATO.
Nestled snugly in little mountain
nook at the opening of glorious
canon Guanajuato is perfect dream
of a town. Though it appears small,
tbs in population about the size of Pu-
eblo, Colorado. We arrived from
Silao Sunday evening and found in
the little triangular plaza in the CEN
ter of the city the most interesting
of uncommon sights. The band was
playing in the center. Around their
stand was the most gorgeous array of
growing tropical plants and blooming
flowers. Around this little gem of a
garden are two promenades--the
inner for the better class of people,
who dress similar to Americans and
the outer for the poems, who all wear
blankets, and it was interesting to
note how strictly each kept his pro-
per place. During each musical Sc
lection the whole population would
promenade about the garden. The
men forming one procession, all going
one direction the women all going
the other. 1t was pleasing sight
and we could not resist the tempta-
tion to join in and march around q
few times.
Guanajuato is chiefly noted and
visited for its mummies, which are
shown in CHASTITY array in sort of
catacomb arrangement. What in
terested us more than the mummies,
however, was its beautiful gardens
and parks, in all of which the most
delicate and charming flowers were
blooming
One of the gems of this city full
of beautiful attractions is its theatre,
built by the government at cost of
$350,000. 1t is perhaps the finest
in America though it has not yet
been opened for use. We were
greatly interested in Zacatecas. Ag-
uascalientes charmed and delighted
us, but We are actually in love with
Guanajuato.
AT Silao, the junction where we
leave the main line to go to Guana-
juato, we found the best meal we
have yet enjoyed. Fresh Strawberries
of the highest flavor were part of the
desert.
We will now spend week or so
in the capital city of the republic.

The Germans want the ruling hand

the strength of their superiority in

Now the second great crisis has

A horrible accident which occurred
last August has been followed by d
marvellous cure. A young laundress
employed in q laundry in the Rue
Vandamme was caught by the hair by
an endless belt for the transmission
of motive power and was literally
scalped from the back of the neck to
the forehead. She was taken to q
neighboring chemists shop, and after.
ward to the Broussals hospital. DIR.
Malherbe took off the bandages and
asked for the unfortunate woman's
scalp. It had remained entangled in
the belt and wheels, and the messen-
ger had some difficulty in inducing
the owner of the laundry to let it be
touched. The laundryman believed
nobody was entitled to take it down
except the commissary of police. Fl.
nally, however, he gave it up. Al
the hospital the hair was shaved of,
zand the scalp was washed ON both
sides with soap and antiseptics, and
applied to the patients head. The
operation has turned out completely
successful, and marks . new and i'm.
portant stepin surgery, since hitherto
scalp wounds were only cured BY
grating and by treatment which some

MANILA HEMP.

This Unique Fibre Plant q Success Only
In the Philippines.
The unique fibre plant of the Philip
pines is not the least among our new
acquisitions. We shall monopolize it,
production unless other tropical re-
gions have better success in their fur
Their attempts to transplant it. Thus
far Manila hemp is a commercial sue
cess only when raised in the Philip
pines. It is one of the chief resources
of the islands, and for ten years this
country has taken an average of Al
per cent. of the total exports.
From the bast, or fibrous outer
Leaf, comes the coarse, strong fibre
which is the best material used for
sailcloths and cordage. It is particu-
larly recommended by the fact that il
is not easily rotted by salt water. The
fibre yielded blythe inner stalks is fine
and weak, and from it are woven tex
tile fabrics superior in softness and
ightness to those made of the best
Russian hemp. These fabrics are sell
dom exported, being bought by Chinese
merchants at Manila for local con-
sumption. This useful variety of the
banana plant, accordingly, yields two
qualities of fibre, the one strong and
coarse and the other fine, soft and
pliable, and both are in great de-
mand.
Manila hemp produces, under the
best conditions, as high as 5000
pounds of fibre to the acre, and though
6,52S, 965 bales have been exported in
the past ten years the industry is still
in its infancy and is capable of enor-
nous expansion. Its development,
like all things under Spanish colonial
rule, has been spasmodic and unsys-
tematic. A recent writer on the
Philippines says that under proper
encouragement the Orient itself would
absorb more than the entire present
product. The worlds markets will
take several fold the quantity of fibre
that is now supplied.
We shall see what American energy
and ingenuity will achieve in the de-
velopment of a great industry, which
we may wholly control, in land where
there is not single we'll kept farm OF
plantation today, where there is no
agricultural machinery outside the

stick does service as plow.-New
