A PICNIC AT TETELPA.

A successful and charming picnic
party was given on Saturday evening
by Mr.. Adam Guichennc. the well
known tenor, one of Mexico's famous
singers. At his invitation a small par
ty of people from San Angel and
CoyOacan left the former town at 8
o'clock and climbed the hills to Tetelpa,
perched as on a mountain lockout in a
fold of the great sierra at the south,
west of this valley. The moon was at
its full and the view of the mountains
as the party assembled the excellent
road was like some magnificent theater
scene, the whole vast wall separating
the valley of Mexico from the Toluca
and Morelos valleys standing in bold
outline against a sky flooded with the
vitreous glow of such moon as one
finds only in the highland tropics.
At Tetelpa the picnickers, who We're
accomplished by cargadores bearing a
goodly supply of provisions were well
coined by the venerable Don Florencio
de la Palma, now So years old, and as
straight as the palm itself The ron
da," or night patrol of the mountain
village, was drawn up to greet the Wis
itors who were soon making them
selves at home in the ample guestroom
of their host. The house of the alcalde
of Tetelpa is situated where it COM
mands a grand view Of the valley, and
after the supper, the entire party, ac-
companied by Senior de la Palma, went
to Ell Altillo, a little eminence on lands
owned by him, and surveyed the i'm
mense valley of Mexico almost mag
ically illuminated by ag lorious moon.
In the foreground as it were, lay the
villages and towns of Talpam, CoyoA-
can Tizapan, San Angel and Mixcoao
distinctly outlined by their twinkling
electric lights, and far to the northeast
the sky above was luminous with the
white light of the electric lamps of the
city of Mexico. The city seemed as if
it had been evoked by some enchanter;
it was a sea of light from which emery
ed here and there lofty tower or a
noble dome. The artist who should
transfer such a scene to canvas would
have to be poet and painter in one
Mexican Herald.

for delay in completing naval vessels is
of inclining TO neglect these for nom
government work.
Internationally, too, few people have
any idea what a stimulus the increase
III our navy has been in all that line Of
technical, designing, engineering and
mechanical training, which is one OF
the many features of our technical
schools, now SO rapidly increasing all
over the country, both in numbers and
scope. The collateral influence upon in
dustrial arts of the creation of the
navy, apart from its direct influence
upon shipbuilding facilities themselves
in the United States, is much greater
than is generally known. The necessi-
ty for building naval vessels of great
strength, combined with the least pos
sible weight, has made it essential to
produce the very best quality of struc-
tural steel. The high standard set by
the navy department in the very be-
ginning of the new navy forced upon
our steel manufacturers the early de-
VelOpment of an art which has since
become one of the controlling factors in
the industry of the country. This was
publicly recognized by the president of
the United States SSteel corporation
when he recently said that the stand
ard set by navy officers for structural
steel had practically produced and
made necessary this important art in
the United States.-Ex-Secret Long

DEMOCRACY AND THE CHURCH

DEMOCRACY AND THE CHURCH.
The church and it's ministers cannot
be said to have risen in public estima-
ton since the civil war. It's control
over education has distinctly dimin-
ished. In some of its branches it
seems to cling to archaic metaphysics
and morbid poetic imaginings; in 9TH
ers it apparently inclines to take re-
fuge in decoruns, pomps, costumes and
observances. On the whole, it has not
been able to keep up with the progress
of either science or democracy-those
AtaIantas of the nineteenth century
that never stop for golden apples
dropped in their path-and it has
shown little readiness to rely on the in
tense reality of the universal senti-
ments to which Jesus appealed, or to
go back to the simple preaching of the
gospel of brotherhood and unity-of
love to God, and love to man. So the
church, as whole, has to-day no influ-
ence whatever on many millions of our
fellow countrymen, called Jews or
Christians, Protestants ar Catholics
though they be. We still believe that
the voluntary church is the best of
churches; because a religion which is
accepted under compulsion is really no
religion at all for the individual soul,
though it may be a social embellish-
ment or a prop for the state. Yet, be-
Iieving thus, we have to admit that the
voluntary church in the United States
has no hold on large and increasing
part of the population.-Charles w.
Eliot In the Worlds Work.

DISCOVERY OF COFFEE.
Made by an Arabian Shepherd.

Coffee was first discovered in the
sixth century by an Arabian shepherd
who having observed the goats of his
flock skip about and display other
signs of intoxication after eating the
coffee berry, concluded to try it's effects
on himself, and thus discovered it's ex-
hilarating property
This discovery proved the poor shep-
herds undoing, for he Unfortunately
used large quantities. green, for it's ex-
hilarating effect and soon died, poison
ed by it's use.
In the sixteenth century, it was in
troduced into France, and was used so
strong and excessively, particularly by
the Parisians that it was found to in
jure alike the complexion and diges-
ton. This discovery prevented it's
general introduction into other Euro
pean countries for the next century:
Since that period it's growth has grad
ually spread through the civilized world
despite the fact that pain and destruc-
ton follow it's path, dyspepsia having
been hardly known before its intro
duction. 1t Is a nerve stimulant" and
narcotic poison, and though in no sense
a food is used for it's stimulating prin-
ciple, Caffeine, which excites the nerves
unnaturally and wastes the reserve
force of the body. Coffee drives the
nerves for time, stimulating them be-
yond their natural function, and using
up all their reserve force. After the
first effects are past, comes breaking
down of the nerve centres and general
nervous arrangement. Following this
in many but not all cases is a long
train of misery, among which the prin-
cipal symptoms are dryness in mouth
and throat, headache, biliousness, pains
in stomach or abdomen, pain in eyes
and head, loss of appetite, dyspepsia
and so on through long, long list, but
the one cause of all the different syn1p-
toms is the same.
The nerves have been broken down;
their reserve force is gone. Many of
the symptoms of poisoning are-ex
IRENE nervousness, restlessness, angu-
ish of mind and heart, excessive relax
alton of body and brain, gloominess,
inability to think correctly, sleepless-
ness at night, drowsiness In the morn
ing, etc.
A lady from sebastopol, Cal, writes,
81 was a sick and poisoned woman
when began to use Postum Food Cof-
fee in place Of coffee and after two
years steady use, find that Postum
soothes the nerves and builds them up,
storing reserve force and strength for
time of need, enabling one to sleep
well, awake refreshed and bright for
each days task: it digests easily, builds
and tones up the stomach and also
builds up a good, strong brain, ready
for any mental strain or toll" Name
given by Postum Co., Battle Creek,
Mich.

THE NAVY AND THE MERCHANT

The increase in the construction of
naval ships has led directly to an in
crease in the construction of ships in
the merchant marine. The great ship
yards at San Francisco. Newport News,
Cramps, Bath, Me-, and more recently
at Quincy, Mass, owe their creation to
getting naval work to do, and thereby
have been put in position to now do
even larger amounts of merchant-ma-

PACKERS MERGER is FORMED.
Combine Is known as United States
Packing Company,


Packing Company.
There was formed in New Jersey Fri
day what New York financiers profess to
regard as the nucleus around which the
great packing companies will be combined
into the long-expected merger. Chicago
packers. however. enter into explicit de-
mails that the new corporation is of such
character.
The United States Packing Company"
is the name of the new concern. This is
the name reported long ago 10 have been
selected as the title of the big merger.
The capital stock is listed at $1,000. 600.
consisting of 10000 shares. The laws IN
New Jersey. under which the corporation
is formed. permit the new combine to ac-
quire other properties and to increase its
capital stock at will. One explanation
for the new corporation is that its promot-
ers have taken time by the forelock and.
acquiring the name, are ready with II
charter that will be useful in many re-
spects for the talked-of combine.
The only man in Chicago admitting
knowledge of the mysterious corporation
is J. w. Dekay. secretary of the North
American Beef Company. He declared
his interest in the new concern and said
it was not trust or combine and was
organized for legitimate purposes. The
only names known in the transaction are

and Kenneth McLaren. all clerks in the
office of the Corporation Trust Company
