The wealth of the mines of Mexico
Is proverbial, yet there are nearly as
many miilionaires in Merida, the capt
tai of Yucatan, a State with practi-
cally no mineral resources, as there are
In all Mexico combined, says Modern
Mexico Henequen, or sisal hemp as 1t
is sometimes known, has made Merida
and its people rich Merida has forty
mllionaires, or one to every 1000 in
habitants. The farmers OF the United
States, who use binding twine, which
Is manufactured from henequen, have
enriched the growers Of henequen In
Yucatan- The United States, in 1906,
bought from Mexico 95,SSf tons Of
henequen, valued ut $14, 500. The
from Mexico amounted to but 2,5GG
tons. valued at about S3O6. $50. OF the
total amount OF henequen exported
from Mexico to the United States. and
this accounts for about 90 per cent of
the total production, all but less than
5000 tons was produced in Yucatan-
Only in Canpeche, Chiapas and Ia
basco Is henequen grown outside of Yu-
catan, in Mexico. OF these the largest
amount of henequen is grown in Cam
peche, the production of this State last
year being $500 tons Campeche is the
future competitor of Yucatan In the
production OF henequen- While Yucca

yet the production in Campeche Is
greater per acre. This is due to the

Pretty Guimpe Blouse.

The great popularity of jumper
waists has created a necessity for pref
ty guimpes to wear under them. and
as supply always keeps pace with de-
mand, any number of dainty little
blouses of this kind are now being
manufactured. A woman who is clever
in this way can have variety Of
charming guimpes at very small cost
and thus be able to vary her costumes
with very little expense, for the guimpe
can make or mar costume The
jumper waists are very dependent for
their effort on the under blouses with
which they are worn. This is prac-
teal design which can be used with
any material. All-over Irish lace is
used in the charming guiInpe shown
here and makes one handsome enough
