biz marked, SO that it may be known as n

OUR SHOES IN MEXICO.
They Are Much Like by the Nativen,
But the Prices Are Excess
lively High.

According to United States Consul
Canada at Vera Cruz, trade conditions
in that part of Mexico have undergone a
great change within the past ten years,
especially with respect to American
shoes. In former years it was impos-
sible to buy anything in Vera Cruz in
the line of shoe leather except that of
native stock and manufacture, and
ready-made shoes for Americans were
not to be had at all.
United States shoes have, however,
within a very short time made name
for themselves, and, the consul says,
were it not for the excessively high
prices asked for them they would sure
ly drive all Others out of the market.
AS 1t is, however, he adds, only the
better classes can enjoy the luxury Of
our shoes, and the great mass of the
people is debarred from that privilege.
The principal obstacle to heavier
business is the high import duty and
the fluctuations in the value of sill
yer. The duty on the cheapest shoes is
the same as on the finest productions.

INCREASE IN SUICIDES.
Company Prove That Self-Mur-
der Grows More Common.

In the Spectator, ali insurance jour
nal, the statistician of an insurance
company gives an analysis of the sui
eide record for the year 1901. His fig
ures are taken from so cities, and show
an average slight increase over the
ratio for the preceding decats of near
ly one per cent, from 1871 to 1876 per
100000 population. He estimates an
approximate annual mortality by sui
eide of 10, 900 in the country as whole.
The implied conclusion is that fur
Their increase in the rate of suicidal
tendency in the cities of this country
may be expected during the next dec
ade, and the suicide question, like ar
son in fire insurance, is thus becom-
ing more and more one of the utmost
Importance to life insurance CON-
panies.
He also gives another table showing
the experience of one company for
the last SIS years, dividing it into two
periods, including males only, as the
female suicide statistics are too insig-
nificant to be tabulated. This SHOWS a
percentage of suicides in the total NOR
tally Of "a in the later as compared
with 10 in the earlier period. The age
of suicides seems also to have lessened,
al the suicides under As increased from
2.1 per cent. to $50 per cent in the later
period, and there was an actual de-
crease of those in advanced life.

SOAP IN THE GINGERBREAD.
Product of the Maine Forest Which

As Very Coed.

ibid we ever eat hot gingerbread
with soap in it?" asked Frank Brown,
the oldest camp cook on the West
Branch, who, according to the New
York Sun, boasts that he has made
more than 1000 barrels of -four into
cream of tartar bread in the course
of IS winters in the forest. "Ef we
hain't ct it, you don't know what'n
good.
"Why, lumberman would no more
think of eating gingerbread without
soap into it than he would think of
drinking new rum without molasses.
They always go together-soap into
the gingerbread and molasses into
the rum, and both are jest about as
good as is made.
My rule is to dissolve hunk of
hard soap as big as hens egg in a
gallon of water, then pour in a gal
Ion of molasses, half pound of bak-
ing powder and stir in the -four until
the dough will almost run. Then
grease yer pans, slap in the mixture
and chuck it into a red-hot oven.
