Gold Standard in Mexico.
From the New York Sun,


When 1t was proposed that Mexico should
revise her financial system and adopt the
gold standard some Of her interests, notably
those engaged in mining. protested loudly
that such a course meant the ruin of the
country. ..ComWenting on the new system,
Modern Mexico admits that there have
been in some cases inconvenience and loss.
It declares that neither loss nor incon-
venience has been serious. and cites the
fact that no important mining concern has
been forced out of business, and that 1.-THE
activity Of both native and foreign capital
In the acquisition and opening up of new
mining properties is unabated." This Jour-
nal goes on to say:
"On the other hand. importers. bankers
and the bulk of commercial interests find
nothing but grounds for satisfaction In the
reformed currency conditions, as they af-
ford fixed basis Of calculation for all
transactions. An incidental feature Of the
currency reform. most welcome to i'm
porterS, Is the abolition of the sliding scale
for the assessment of import duties, which
was created by decree Of November 25
1902, and which was designed to protect
the government from the oscillations of ex-
change In effecting its gold payments abroad
for the service of the foreign debt and
other purposes
The system has not been In operation long
enough yet to make it possible to say Just
how far 1t win prove a success SO far as
the people of the country are concerned
The present indications are that the indus
trial and commercial interests will soon ad-
just themselves to the new conditions, and
that in the end the people will be the great
est gamers.

Accuracy, Terseness, Accuracy.

Prof. w Ripper, In Technlcs-
There are many qualities necessary to
success in modern business life; but there
is none of more Importance to a man hold
ing a position of responsibility than the
power to make a plain. straightforward,
business-like statement, ether by speech
or in writing. The quality of fiuency is
not so much what is required as the quail
ties of accuracy and clearness. definiteness
and brevity, tact and judgment. If we are
not clear and precise 1t is certain that
those who listen to us wifi be no more

and definite These qualities of our
thought and speech, however. cannot be
left to chance. They are attained as the
result of effort. Of careful and Independent
thought on the subject for ourselves, of
looking at 1T from many points of view,
and thus satisfying ourselves and those
who listen to us that we thoroughly I'M
derstand what we are talking about. 1t
clears ones own mind IN thinking out a
subject to talk Ii over with a colleague Or
to write out statement of 1T, or to die
tate it to a shorthand writer. Having de-
cided what to say. and having properly
ranged it, the last point is how TO say it
The first essential is to speak distinctly
then TO be natural straightforward. lucid;
neither TO strive after effect nor to exag-
gerate but to give the impression that we
are ourselves convinced of the eogency and
force of our own contention

Poor Whisky Disguised.
From the Hartford Comm Times

From the Hartford tConn.} Times.
The makers of patent medicines which are
merely whisky In thin disguise are to be
compelled to pay taxes to the United States
government as rectifiers and liquor dealers.
1t Is said that there are at least dozen
of these medicines" advertised which con-
tain twenty-five per cent more of whisky.
AS many 100000 bottles of one of these
connections have been sold In Massachu-
sets alone In a recent year. The demand
for intoxicants in prohibition communities
is largely supplied by these so-eaIled medi-
cines. and when the manufacturers are COM
PEELED to take out a government license as
rectifiers and dealers In alcohol they will no
longer be able to conceal the true character
of the stuff they deal in. Thus one of the
most successful of the various subterfuges
which are common In the business and
social life of the United States may be
brought to an end.

Coffee Clubs in California.
from the New York Times,


Some time ago the California town of San
Diego started a coffee club to afford a place
of entertainment and recreation where no
Intoxicating liquors or cigars or tobacco In
any form should be sold, and the success of
the enterprise has been in every way salts
factory and gratifying. A private company
started the institution, and 1t was provided
that no profits should be divided, whatever
accrued being continuously capitalized with
the view to establishing other houses of like
kind. A second one has been opened in the
same city, and there are similar places in
Los Angeles, Santa Clara, Petaluma and
Bakersfield. They are all successful, flnan-
ciaily and socially. In Los Angeles the two
club rooms are visited by from /, 600 to 1 500
persons daily. It costs about $2.000 to
launch club. but once going 1t pays It's
own way and prospers. becoming in time
the parent OF others. Tt is estimated that
the saloon business has been cut down one
half in the towns named.
1t is possible that California has found out
an expedient for the promotion of temper
ance more efficient than the one which
Maine thought she had discovered genera
ton or so ago. but which in late years does
not seem to work with its pristine smooth
ness. At any rate the initial success of the
Pacific coast experiments is gratifying and
promising, giving sign that ii may not be
unworthy of trial elsewhere.

British Expansion in Asia.

The conquest and acquisition by England

more dangerous to US than the ABSORPTION
of those lands by Russia would be. In the

OF the conquered countries would be at
heart hostile to us, for, though their gov.

sense national governments, and they would

the territories constituting the neutral zone
should remain inviolate and free from ag-
gression by any power, and that they
should be independent In fact and in name
The policy that l advocate is precisely the
same as that pursued by the United States
toward the South American republics Ii
we consistently follow this policy, if the
conservative party will dissociate Itself

state" and southern Persia into Malay
state;' IL the liberal party will sever its
policy from the ultra -altruists who invite
Russia to the doors of India, then the
wouid-be invader of India would, in the
first place, have to subjugate portions of
the neutral zone before advancing upon
India, and their populations would nat
urally fight for their own freedom, and to
that extent would be our allies and fight
our battles. Then our assistance would be
received with gratitude and without any
suspicion of our good faith.

The tipping evil is growing In New York

shopper, the woman wha does not recognize

times il even amounts to white money"

The Spirit of Envy.
From the Chicago Journal.

From the Chicago Journal.
'why did you steal those rubber bootsr'
asked the judge.
Because they were better than mlne,'
replied the boy
1t was envy that induced this boy to steal
He was well enough satisfied with his own
boots until he saw the other boy with a
better pair. He yielded to the spirit of
envy at the sacrifice of his honesty. And
SO have many others. They have given
up the priceless possession of clean con-
science for the satisfaction Of a covetous
desire. But envy need not lead to crime
to leave it's blighting effect upon the soul
of the man or woman that yields to it. The
Joy of living may be killed without over
stepping the legal rights of others. The
man with envy in his heart cannot be
happy. He may hide his envy, but he can
not get out of life the joy that is right
fully his. Happiness is not for him. Hap
piness implies peace of mind There can
be no peace of mind where envy is Keen
the heart free from envy 1t dwarfs the
soul and makes life a mockery.

Relics of Sir John Franklin.

From the London Chronicle.
Under a tiny glass cover there now re-
poses in the museum of the Royal United
Service Institution in Whitehall some pitt
full relics of Sir John Franklins Inflated
arctic expedition of 1Si5 in the Erebus and
Terror. Who that has read that story OF
magnificent adventure has not thrilled with
its heroism and its failure? When in 1S4S
national anxiety for Franklfn's safety was
aroused many expeditions were sent in the
hope of relieving him. In one Of these ex-
petitions. which set out in 1850. a young
naval officer, Capt. Ommanney, took part.
He died. Admiral Sir Erasmus Ommanney
and his widow have now presented to the
United Service Institution the small coll
lection of Franklin relics which her hus-
band found In arctic regions. 1hey are
not much to look at, and they could all be
covered by an ordfnary-sized pocket hand
kerchief But what a tale of bravery, OF
human endurance and of the terror of a
lonely death they tell! There Is little
clay pipe, which sybaritic smoker would
scorn to look at. But who knows what
yoyagers-perhaps to Sir John Franklin
himseif-in those long and oppressive north
ern nights?
There is also a tiny glass bottle. empty
now, but which may have contained some
specific against disease or depression of
spirits. There is no label on 1t, and no clue
to its contents, but ii probably held some
tonic to revive the ebbing strength of
Franklins explorers.
Another of the relics consists of two
pieces of the skin of a polar bear-one with
a claw attached to 1.-THE remains of some
creature that fell to one of Franklin s
guns There is also a small Gina plate
with the figure of a curious hybrid bird
painted on its upper surface. 1t was prob
ably used as ash tray-at any rate,
there is no other conceivable use for It,
All these interesting objects were dis
covered by Capt. Ommanney while he was
searching for Sir John Franklin In the AS
sistance, and they were Re first clues
