New Men and
New Methods
In Diplomacy

a MoNG the important subjects be
"a fore congress is that OF reform
"a and reorganization in the dlplo-
matte and consular service. It
happens that at the time this suD)ect IS
under consideration important changes
are pending in the personnel of our
diplomatic force. New men and new
methods and promOHons for faithful
service will, it is hoped. tend to increase
the prestige Of the United States abroad
and develop and strengthen information
al friendship and business relations.
Among the diplomats who are sched-
uled for promotion are the ambassador
to Brazil. David K. Thompson; the min-
lister to Japan, Lloyd O. Griscom; the
minister to Turkey, John g. A. Lelsh-
man; the minister to Switzerland, Da-
vid Jayne Hill, and the third assistant
secretary of state, Herbert H. d. Peirce.
Mr.. Peirce will be the first minister OF
the United States to Norway and Mr..
Thompson. 1t is expected, will be pro
NOTED from the Brazilian embassy to
that of Mexico, post which the growth
of the Mexican republic and our in
creased relations with it have rendered
a most responsible one. Mr.. GriscOm's
services at the court Of the mikadO will
be rewarded, it is thought, by promo
ton TO the Brazilian embassy, and II
is supposed to be the presidents plan
that Mr.. Leishman shall be the first
ambassador to Japan.
The post of ambassador to Brazil will
be Of especial Importance in the near
future in view of the fact that the pan
American congress is to assemble al
Rio JaneirO for its, next session. Il is
the earnest desire that the good work
Of cenenting friendship between the
different countries Of pan-AInerica shall
go on. and to that end 1t is highly de
sirable that diplomatic and consular
posts in countries TO the north and
south Of us shall be suitably filed.
The subject of consular reform is one
that is engaging the especial attention
Of the new secretary of state, Efihu
Root. The bill providing for reform
and reorganization Of the consular
service, known as the Lodge bill, aims
to classify the service and abolish
many abuses now connected with it,
It's effect would, It is believed, be ia
provide greater incentives to good
work on the part Of our consular agents
than now exist and thus increase our
foreign trade.
In the diplomatic service the most

homes for our diplomatic representa-
lives In the great capitals of the world.
Uncle Sam pays Whitelaw Reid ST.
500 a year for representing him at the
court Of st. James, and Mr.. Reid pays
$4,000 a year rent for his house in
London. That leaves $500 for keeping
up the establishment, entertaining the
numerous guests and paying the gro
Gerry, meat and wine bills. Besides the
embassy home in London, Mr.. Reid
has a country house, Wrest Park,
where he goes to enjoy the seclusion
and rest which even an ambassador
occasionally needs. Conditions some
what similar exist at the other leading
European capitals. The dignity of the
great American nation has to be sup
ported abroad somehow, and under the
circumstances only rich Americans can
do it. This state of things is held to
be inconsistent with the genius of our
republican institutions.
1t is maintained that il the bill intro
duced in the house of Representatives
by Representative Nicholas Longworth
Of Ohio were to become a law II would
be possible to appoint comparatively
poor men to important diplomatic posts
II desired. The bill authorizes an ex-
penditure Of not to exceed 100000 in
building homes for American represent
atives abroad. In introducing 1t Con-
gresham Longworth said:
at is an open and notorious fact that
with the very small salaries paid our
diplomatic ENJOYS in comparison with
those Of other countries none but very
rich men can aspire to these offices;
that no man. Of however great learning,
experience or ability. can represent this
country abroad unless he be man OF
great wealth. No matter how much
salaries might be increased there would
always be an evidence Of the wealth
Of each particular incumbent according
to the style Of residence he occupied
II, however. a suitable and dignified
official residence be given to each Of
our diplomatic ENJOYS. then, at least so
far as external appearances are con-
cerned, the rich man and the poor man
viii appear alike"

AZTEC ARCHITECTURE.
Wonderful Endurance of the Old
Mexican Halldings.

The Mexicans or the Aztec Indians
can give the people Of the United
States lessons in architecture and in
solid construction Of buildings. There
are buildings standing today in the
City OF Mexico that have stood for
three centuries and are I'm an excellent
state Of preservation. There is not a
frame building in the city. There are
"A few adobe, but most all are stone,
brick or cement There is a brick
building down in the old part Of the
town that was erected prior 10 100.
1t shows that so long ago as that the
Indians were experts in the manufac-
ture OF bricks. But probably 50 per
cent Of all the buildings are made Of
concrete cement Cement and concrete
have been used successfully in Mexico
for 800 years, and all the cathedrals
and churches are Of that material. ON
the line Of the Vera Cruz Pacific can
be seen the ruins OF TOro Bravo, where
there are evidences Of Il city ruined
centuries ago. There are some twenty
pyramids OF solid cement which must
have been erected over 800 years ago
one of these pyramids is 40 feet in
height and on the summit rests
cement ledge thirty feet in diameter
This, rs we'll as others, is OF lligree
work and carved statualy.
Near this stands another Of white
limestone, built in four terraces, with
carvings and Communications which
would put to shame the modern Amer
lean sculptor. 1t has stood all these
centuries, yet the limestone is much
easier broken than the cement. Think
Of town of almost 100000 persons,
and the fire record is three in one year
The inside walls Of many of the build
ings are as much as six feet through
and all buildings are built around
courts. There is no provision III any
of them for fires, and at the present
time small coal oil stoves are selling
in the city for S2O-the same that sell
for So in the states. The floors are of
stone, the ceilings Of tiligTce cement,
the walls Of coarse plaster and almost
without exception hand painted. The
architecture on many buildings in the
republic shows that the Indian Of cen
turies ago was ahead Of the modern
builder of today. - Hobart News-Re-

REFRIGERATOR RULES.

Use clean. fiat dishes to hold what
ever is ON the lower shelves.
Buy your ice in pieces rs large as
can be accommodated. This is much
more economical than to buy small
ones.
BE careful not TO fill dishes too full
so that they will spill over. If any
thing is spilled, don't fail to wipe it up
Immediately.
Pack the ice well together and do
not wrap il in paper or cloths; instead.
keep the door of the ice chamber shut
as much rs possible.
Do not put food of any sort directly
on the ice. II it is absolutely neces-
sary to place il near the ice, see that it
is in glass or porcelain.
Empty the refrigerator at least once
d week; scrub the interior thoroughly,
then scald The ice chamber and drain
pipe with boiling water in which Il
lump of soda has been dissolved: fol-
low this with clear boiling water: wipe
dry and let it air for twenty minutes.
