adventurous and determined DISPOSE
ton; and in boyhood travelled two
hundred miles to join the revolution

back to study law. Later on he en-
tered the military ranks during the
civil war and won his way step by

age Of 80.
The coming of the Austrian Maxi
milan was notly resented by DiaS,

in exciting circumstances and kept
the flag of revolt flying in southern
Mexico. Puebla presently fell before
mis- arms and Mexico City surrendered
to him. Diaz Loyalty gave the city to
the Republican Government OF JuareZ
and retired to the neighborhood OF his
birthplace, until the spirit of revolu-
ton, which seems perpetually latent
or loose in Southern American poll
tics, upset the power of Juarez.
Diaz felt he was the man for the
hour; and quietly presented himself
at the capital November %, 1876.

palace, where he established himself

NO WASTE IN CANDY BUSINESS.
The Scrap Always Made Use of-sea-
soned CONNECTIONS the Best.

soned CONNECTIONS the Best.
There is this similarity between
the candy business and the iron bust
ness-the scrap is not allowed to go
to waste. An observer who had an
idea that candy manufacturers must
have to stand lot of loss because
candies get stale took tae trouble To
investigate and learned that this idea
was wrong.
The big candy makers ship to their
agents throughout the country at
stated intervals, usually of a week,
their standard CONNECTIONS, and all not
sold at the expiration of the interval
are returned to the factory as scrap.
AS the candy is mostly sugar, and
sugar is as indestructible as iron it is
only a question for the candy maker
of getting the sugar value out of the
scrap.
1t is impossible to work over the
candy into it's original form, but it
can be used in many ways. For ex-
ample, the chief use to which stale
chocolates are put is in making cara
mels and other chevy CONNECTIONS.
It's a mistaken idea that candy
must be fresh to be good. One manu-
facturer who makes only for the trade
and confines himself chiefly to high
class chocolates and bonbons said
that candy wasn't fit to eat until 1t
mad been seasoned for at least ten
DAYS. For his own use-and he is
great lover of candy, despite the gen.
eral belief that no cooks cares for his
own messes-he keeps chocolates
about a month before eating them.
This man has no patience with
those who assert that colored candy
is poisonous. His argument is sim
ple. AS he puts it:
whats the use Of putting poison
in candy when natural and harmless
coloring matter costs less? Who'd
put opium in cigarettes when tobacco
is cheaper than opium?
"It's the same way in my business.
I can turn out bonbons in any shade
Won want-from the greenest of Gods
green grass to the pinkest pink OF d
hunting coat, and do 1t all without
the aid of any ingredients but pure
vegetable colorings.
81 have no patience with these pure
food advocates when they come nos
ing around the candy business. Few
of them know what they are talking
about and the others have taken
few sporadic cases of children poison
ed or merely made i'll by overindul'
gence in cheap candies and condemn
the lot of us.
THE candy business demands an
artist these days, wnen you have to
make displays of form and coloring
to keep in the forefront of the busl-
ness. New York Sun.

THESE BULLETS DO NOT KILL.
Paris Invention That Permits Prac'

tice With Human Targets.
Walter Winans, the American
marksman, describes tests made IN
Paris with a new patent bullet when
hits but does not kill The invention
PROMISES to revolutionize rife and re-
volver practice.
The bullet, which was invented by
DR.. Deirllers, is hollow, and can be
used several times. Mr.. Winans and
several others practiced with 1t with
one another under duelling condl-
tons. The pistols used were furnish
ed with steel guards resembling a
sword hilt, to protect the hands, De-
cause the bullet. although 1t does not
penetrate the clothing will wound the
naked flesh. All wore motor goggles.
Two hundred and seVenty-two SHOTS
were fired and 202 hits were record
ed. Mr.. Winans and Commandant Fer
Gus made full scores, finally shooting
each ether over the heart.
Frenchmen regard such practice as
splendid training for dIelling, as the
experience of firing at and being fired
at by a living opponent has unique
value, it being totally different from
aiming at a target. Men who never
missed a target were quite discomfort
ed at first when the opponents arm
was raised to fire.
1t is necessary to observe the rules
not to aim at the face and keep the
pistol raised until both men have mr.
ed. One of the combatants inadvert-
emily lowered his pistol and received
his opponents bullet in his thumb,
