Paper on the Walls;

p A fowered paper should never
cover the walls Of a room where
many pictures are to be hung, nor
should it be used in long, narrow
room unless it is relieved by; dark
dado. These papers belong for the
most part to bedrooms, where few
pictures will GO on the walls and
where the wall coverings are desired
to contribute a furnished effect
without taking up room space. In
choosing these papers it is necessa-
ry to exercise great care, as patterns
that seem exquisite in themselves
are often unsatisfactory when trans
ferred to the walls of the rooms for
which they may be intended. At
many decorators nowadays model
rooms hung with papers of varied
styles are to be seen. An inspection
of them will soon show the effect
produced by the different patterns.

The alive Bit" of the Livinq Room.

A new and pretty. way Of arrang-
ing spring flowers for indoor deco
ration is to obtain tin milk pan
and have it enameled green. Place
a palm or tall foliage plant in the
center and fill up the remaining
space with hyacinths, jonquils, mar
cissuses or tulips in pots. Bank up
with fresh green moss. Thus you
have stand of sweet smelling flow
ers which may be watered without
disastrous results. It seems strange
that so few people use baskets Of
flowers in their rooms. A pictur-
esque looking wicker basket, the
handle tied with large bows of fresh
green ribbon, containing a small
palm or large fern, lasts for months
and needs but the addition Of pot
or two of tulips or hyacinths to
make quite an imposing effect. The
basket, when dilapidated, may be
scrubbed, painted green, white or
silver and draped with fresh ribbon.
"A tin should be fitted inside the bas-
ket; otherwise the pots must be re-
moved before being watered,

CENSUS FIGURES OF MEXICO.
SHOW, That the Population of the Re-
public Numbers Twelve and
q Half Millions.

The results of the general census OF
Mexico taken in 1895, which have just
been published, show population of
l2,491, ,573, almost equally divided be-
tween males and females. Only two
states-Jalisco and Guanajuato ato-have
a population of more than 100000,
while the state of Mexico has about
100000. AS a whole, says the Buffalo
Express, Mexico must be regarded as
healthful place of residence, for the
census records more than 700 centen-
arians. In the foreign-born popula-
tion of the country the United States
stands next to Spain, the latter being
slightly in excess with 1859.
1lliteracy is very high, more than
100000 of the population being una
BILE either to read or write. This is
approximately three-fourths of the
inhabitants. The Roman Catholics of
Mexico number only about 100000 less
than the total population of the coun-
try. Of the remainder $4,000 have no
professed belief and $4,000 are divided
between ten different beliefs ranging
from Protestanism to Mahammedan-
ism. There are more than 100000
people in Mexico who do not speak
Spanish, whose native tongue is one
of So Mexican and Indian languages,
These tongues, with the foreign Ian
guages spoken in the republic, make up
total of 63 languages to be heard
in Mexico.

IN REQUEST BY TIE WOMEN,
Austrian Who Offered Himself in
MarriaGe to Five sco1e
.-r 0air Ones.

Probably the most successful suitor
of modern times is Alois Frankenberg,
Bavarian, who was lately sentenced at
Gratz, in Austria, to spend two years
and a half in prison because he made
love to too many girls and swindled
them out Of goodly sums of money.
The son and heir of wealthy man at
Gratz, reports foreign exchange, he
quickly ran through his patrimony,
whereupon he advertised for a wife in
several papers. Girls of all ranks of So
ciety answered his advertisement, and
selecting among them those who were
come1y and who had money, he prom
lsed to'marry them. Gradually he in
ve1gled their money from them and
then he disappeared, leaving the hap
less women to mourn over his fickleness
and dishonesty.
He was next heard of at Munich,
where he played the same trick and
with equal success on several young
and old widows. To the neighboring
cities he also paid frequent visits and
ever with the same object in view, the
result being that in short time he had
accumulated quite handsome fortune.
Unfortunately he went one day to
G!ratz and was seen by one of his VIC
TINS, who promptly had him arrested,
This modern Don Juan is himself au-
thority for the statement that he had
offered his hand and heart to at least
12O maidens and widows. "

PASSED THE CENTURY MARK.
Centenarian ChOctaw squaw who II
still Able to Make Long Trips
Over the COuntpy.

The Oldest person living in Kansas il
Choctaw squaW known as Nancy ia
cobs, who lives in Cedar county in the
Choctaw nation. There is no doubt
whatever that she is over 100 years old.
She was practically discovered by CEN
sns enumerator recently. Her Indian
name is Honitima, and she is the wife
OF medicine man long since dead.
She lives alone in an old log cabin. No
roads lead to her house, save a little
trail through the woods, scarcely dis
tinguishable. When asked by the GEN.
sus man how old she was she said she
was not sure, but must be over 100
years. She was a grown woman when
the Choctaws migrated to the Indian
territory from their old home in Mis-
sissippi. She was an old woman when
the civil war broke out, and tells how
she made vannaha, an Indian bread,
made of corn, beans and other ingredi-
ents and wrapped in corn shucks, for
the boys who fought the Faluma, as the
Indians called the Yankees.
Nancy is a big woman, very tall and
erect. She is one of the original six
town Indians, q clan among the Choc-
taws. She is medicine woman and
treats the young people of the tribe
with the same mysterious concoctions
that were used by her husband. She
says she is as strong as when she was
20 years old. She makes long trips to
Antlers, a distance of 30 miles, in her
old wagon, and bitches up and un-
bitches alone. She has few hogs and
makes her own meat for the winter.
She has married daughter 60 years
old. She cannot understand or speak
English, and has never seen a railroad
train.

injured.

mines. just as the men on the day
shift we're going on duty they were
attacked. The union men asked for
the foreman and when told that he
was in bed said: .sAlI right; we
will get him. They started after
Scott, the foreman, and in the melee
that followed Scott and his family
defended themselves as best they
could but were powerless. Scott was

TRADE IN LATIN AMERICAS.

Why the United States Toes Not Sc
cure Its Share Thereof.
Minister Loomis maintains that the
United States does not have. In any
part OF Latin America, the share of
trade which It's productivity and prox-
unity entltle 1t to. The Germans, the
English, the French and even the Span
ish exhibit higher degree OF CONNER
cial intelligence than we do In dealing
with the Latin Americans.
Our merchants and manufacturers
are loath to understand that in order to
succeed In Central or South America
they must conform to the business
methods to which centuries of usage
have given the force and prestige of
national customs. If we want to do
business with the South Americans we
must, in a large measure. do business
In their way, and not try to force our
methods upon them, though we may be
convinced that our manner of conduct
ing commercial affairs is superior to
theirs.
The Latin-American merchant Is ac-
customed to long credit Six months
is the usual period, but sometimes 1t Is
a year. He will pay. but he must have
time In which to pay, for II is the GUS
tom of the South American trader to
be a banker as well as merchant,
and he has to make large advances in
money and supplies to the owners OF
coffee and other plantations to enable
them to pay their laborers, and the
merchant does not expect repayment
until the coffee crop is harvested and
sold, once year. So 1t viii be seen
that long time in making his own pay
ments Is essential TO him.
The European merchants and manu-
facturers understand this. and arrangs
to give the South American merchant
ample time In which to meet his obli-
cations. The Europeans make care
full, comprehensive systematic study OF
the conditions and necessities of the
Latin-American market and then SET
to work in an intelligent way to meet
and satisfy those conditions and needs
