Mexico buys more American books
than does France, and nearly as many
as Germany. Much of this trade is due
to the large resident American popula-
ton to be found in Mexican cities and
TO the demand from mining camps
where Americans are living. and not n
little Is due to the growing spread Of
English among the Mexican people
There is strong tendency in favor of
pOpularlzing the English language, and
the learners of that tongue comprise
professional men in middle life as well
as thousands of youth. Some large in
stitutons of learning have put English
ahead Of French

DIR. MitchelI's COMPLAINT.


DR., s. Weir Mitchell, the famous au-.
thor, is famous also as nerve special
list, and ought to be famous as a maker
of cleverly turned compliments.
At a reception he met for the first
time n well-knOwn Philadelphia lady.
and in conversation with her he spoke
of his liking for the novel Crawford"
Il am glad that my memory is such"
said he, that within the space of two
years l can completely forget that
book and so have the pleasure of read
ing ii all over again"
The lady to whom he said this did not
meet him again until year or so had
passed. She found that he had quite
forgotten her and reminded him of
their previous meeting. Then it came
to him.
"Ah. madam he said. 1T is with
you as it is with Crawford. l have the
ability to forget and thus l may have
all the pleasure of becoming acquaint-
ed over again. Philadelphia Post

When It comes to real downright in
dependence, what man can equal wom-
an? Her utter disregard of all the rules
that bind him cannot fail to command
admiration. There is the West Vir-
ginia postmistress who became weary
Of her job, for instance. Did she re-
sign, as man would do, and wait for
"A successor to be appointed? Well,
hardly. That would have resulted in
irksome delay, and just rs time and
tide wait for no man, 50 woman waits
for no government. She closed and
locked the office and went away, leav-
ing Uncle Sam to find out for himself
what had happened. 1t looks as If
some one must have asked her to mar
ry him.

The bank robbery at Newport, Ky,
renewed the criticisms ON banking
methods, and some of the comment is
unreasonable. Business is founded
upon confidence, and banking is no ex-
ception. Men must be trusted, and
often 1t is possible to conceal evil
dences OF theft for a long time. Official
examiners are usually compelled. in the
nature of things, to take the footings
furnished them. They are not required
to make long and detailed examina-
tons of the books If they were, large
banks would require the whole time of
an examiner When suspicion is
aroused, Of course their attention is
given to the bookkeeping, but usually
suspicion does not come before ex-
posture. Declarations take place in all
lines of business, but usually they are
not for large sums and are not made
known. The officers of the bank are
those who are responsible for its safe
management In this case, 1t seems
strange that these officers were not ac-
quainted with the manner of living
pursued by the thief, which would at
once have shown them that things
were wrong.

Switzerland Once Had a Navy.

Though Switzerland never possessed
a sea coast. yet the little republic once
had its admiral. This was in the six

small wooden vessels, and two brigan-

Duke Of Savoy. These war vessels
played on the Lake of Geneva. The
last Swiss admiral died in 1892.

HOW THEY PROVE UP.
MINNESOTA PARTIES ENDEAVOR

K0TA LAND

Ho1A LAAND.
The Balfour Statesman is. authority
for the following statement of condi-
tons with reference to proving up on
government land, that exist in Nc
Henry county. 1t says that Colonel
Milham of st. Paul filed on a claim
near that place a year ago last spring,
came up last fall and put a corn crib
On it and arrived this week and began
hunting up witnesses to prove his con-
tinuous residence upon and cultivation
of said claim. He hired a rig and
drove out to it and circled around
among the settlers of the neighborhood
only to discover that his claim was
contested. He had ample time to get
on the claim himself and ever to get
his wife on the claim before the pro-
ceedings could be served on him., but
residence upon it on account of being
in business in st. Paul and that his
wife would not live on the claim and
that le would not ask her to do so for
a dozen of the best sections of land in
North. Dakota With this state of
affairs staring him in the face he con-
cluded that he had better relinquish
and save his homestead right, if pos
sible, instead OF trying to prove up.
If there is one like Colonel Milham
that is doing business or farming and
living in Minnesota and trying to hold
a claim here, there are 800. Some of
them have gone SO far as to prove up,
eager to escape a contest, quite forget
ting that it is the most disastrous
thing that they can do. The govern
ment land inspectors pay but little at
tenion to claim holders until they
prove up, when they Investigate and
the inevitable result in such cases is
to cancel the proof. The parties thus
lose all the money that they have in
vested il travelling to and fro and in
paying for the land and the costs of
proving up.
