MEXICAN RURALES.
Splendid Horsemen Who Patrol High
ways Of the Interior.

From Modern Mexico.
The rurales are to Mexico what the IA
nous guardia civil is to Spain, and it needed
the genius and administrative power of the
man who at present holds the reins of gov
eminent to conceive the formation and
equipment of the picturesque horsemen
whose appearance in Mexicos military pa
rades always elicits the applause of specta-
tors. These rural police-for such they are
never fail to attract attention of both
foreigner and native alike.
Like the guardia civil of Spain the rurales
patrol the remote mountain tracts of Guer-
zero and Michoacan and the great plains of
the mesa central" in couples or parejas-
and many a lonely traveller or prosrector
has been gladdened by the sigh OF their
gray uniforms the leather embroidered
amidst the wild rugged scenery of the
Pacific coast In regions where not soul
is to be seen for days and days. Their
company Is real pleasure. as they are the
best hosts the traveller on the Mexican high
road could have. 1t Is notable that they are
invariably pleased to meet English-speaking
people, and will frequently travel miles out
of their own route to put an "extranjero"
on the right track. when lost In bewil-
dering maze of bride paths.
The equipment of the rurales is Mexican
in every respect, and in this they diner
from the regular army. whose uniform and
French. The horses used by these men are
OF the finest, and their riders are born to
the saddle. The "silla vaquera,' or Next
can cowboy saddle, in use, is by far the
most practical and easiest for the long and
wearisome marches they take through afro
ciously rough country.
The origin of the "silla vaquera" Is Pc
culiar, and it's ancient prototype may be
traced further back than is known to most
visitors. In the first instance, the saddle
in use today in this country is an adoption
made by the old Spaniards of the "silla va
guerra de Andalucia" in Spain. and there is
no difficulty in recognizing this by a COM
parison of those used by the Spanish pic
adores'' In the bull ring. The same high
cantle and horn is in evidence, the stirrups
In the latter case being Of iron, with a tap
adera," or covering, to the right one. being
the side on which the bulls attack the rider.
The lazo, or lariat. for roping bulls Is
not used in Spain, but came into use in her
colonies and with this the necessity for a
different shaped saddle arose. and then the
"silla Mexicana." with its peculiarly shaped
horn for securing the .lazo'' was evolved.
This same saddle Is now in use throughout
the western states of America and the Cali
fornian and Texan stock saddles are the
outcome.
AS regards the 'silla vaquera" of Andalu-
cia, its origin, as In the other customs In
that southern country. Is distinctly Moorish
and the Riffs and Berbers use something
almost identical in pattern. The conven-
fence Of the Mexican saddle To recognized

A dispatch from Indianapolis. Ind, yes

days preceding the Joint conference.
The operators left Indianapolis saying In
most positive termssthat they proposed to

made as positive sta ternent that the present

The Chattanooga Adver-
 Using.

The Chattanooga Medicine Company, with laboratories and general offices at Chattanooga, Tennessee, and branch houses at St. Louis, Mo-, and San Fran cisco. Cal, has become one of the largest proprietary medicine con- cerns in the world. In the growth of this great business two factors have been dominant: The merit of It's products-Wine of Cardui and Thedford's Black Draught-- has been widely recognized and the original advertising methods adopted have excited comment. The publicity for these medicines does not consist of the catch phrase and extravagant state ment, too often employed in ad- vertising today, but instead the plain story of experience with medicines given in the plan lan- guage of the people themselves. The following letter is a fair sam- pie of the thousands of Wine of Cardui testimonials published during the past twenty years:
 DOGS Eastern Avenue. Cincinnati, Ohio, May 20, 1902.
 1 consider Wine of Cardui most excellent wonan's remedy. It is certainly sp!tiIic as a tonic and regulator. For eight years 1 suffered with female trouble. 1 had intense pain in the back and head, leaving me so weak that 1 was unable to stand at times. Medicine did not seem to help me, but after all remedies had failed me Wine of Cardui proved my one great, true friend. What a relief l experienced! It came only few days after l started taking it. 1 used it faithfully for four months and gradual y grew stronger and better. 1 am now regular to the day and for the past two years have enjoyed blessed good health. l certainly wish every sick and suffering woman could know of your blessed medicine, how mnch pain and suffering it would prev mt, and what a difference it would make in thousands of homes where there is sickness and sor- row today, if they had Wine of Cardui it would bring relief and joy instead.

Boston Children Furnish a Surprise.

as are noticeable in the children who re-
ceive their early training at such despised
places as Yellville Ark; Gossport, Me;
and Hanging Rock, Ohio. In proof of This
we have the testimony of the Boston
Record, which says that 1t has found
among the examination papers collected in
various public schools of the city which
has made Browning and Emerson famous
the following definitions:

No Rose is Pure White.


From the Portland Oregonian
Probably the largest rose cut IN TINS city
this season is specimen OF the Mar
chioness of Londonderry, which Major
Barnhart has had in a vase at his resi-
dence.
This species is credited with producing
larger blooms than any other, specimens
six inches across being not uncommon. but
the specimen produced by Major Barnhart
is only trifie less than seven inches across,
and contains a double handful of petals
beautifully intoxicated and appearing pure
white, but there Is a slight tinge of yellow
discernible about the base. Mr.. Barnhart
says there is no really pure white rose, the
whitest known when placed alongside snow
showing a tinge Of some color. This huge
bloom was not the result of disbuddfng or
other forcing, but was produced on shoot
which came up in the center of the bush,
and so was well shaded during the late
warm weather which caused ii to attain
the extra size and its perfection.

Persian Princess Reveals the Magic of

A Persian princess is now demonstrate

loose f1ame-colored gown with jewels en-
twined in her dusky hair and precious
stones glittering In barbaric array her
corsage, the princess succeeded In COM
pletely mystifying her audience of ladies.
She declared that only the eastern mind
could understand the deep, all-absorbIng,
passionate devotion of a woman for her
jewels. The eastern woman adored her
jewels. The life that was within them re-
sponded TO that love. and they shone with
added luster. Precious stones had all life
within them. Stones had sex. continued
the sibyl, and if the male and female were
placed together in the wrong way the
beauty of the stones would he diminished.

The Vigor Of Hay.

A vigorous American foreign policy
has struck out in two directions at
the same time. Secretary Hays I'LL
timatum to the Turks will meet the
Endorsement Of all thoughtful citi-
zens, while his prompt action in deny
ing the right of Russia to declare fuel
and raw cotton absolute contraband
of war, will be equally well received.
AS matter of fact, our policy re-
garding Russian seizure Of American
shipments to Japan might be even
more aggressive without injury to any
American interest. Under interna-
tiona1 law, there is no good reason
why our merchant vessels may not
go freely to any unblockaded Japan
csc port, and yet that privilege has
been denied by the Russian vladivo-
stok fleet. Our exports to Japan,
which are rapidly increasing, consti-
