Root and his party in Mexico was in connection with their visit to Xochimllco, n small lake of the federal district of Mexico, famous for containing the floating islands, ip the middle of which the Aztecs laid the foundation for the present City of Mexico. The party was received at Xochimilco by the authorities of the town. Indians clnd in native garb then took them in canoes decorated with flowers on trip through the lake The Americans afterward visit cd the city waterworks. At dinner on the shore of the lake an entertain ment was furnished by Indian women, who danced in national costume.
 The Cuban labor organizations at meeting adopted Q resolution to order . general strike calling out all the un- ions in the island, if the railways em- ploy the strike breakers who landed in Havana from New York. President Gompers oe the American Federation of Labor ten9esc the labor organiza- tfons of Cuba the support of the great American organization in their present struggle.

USE OF MONEY IN ELECTIONS

After every election, whether 1t be town, state or national, someone rushes into print to deprecate the long estab- lished practice of using money at the polls. But it continues to be used and there is no one, politician or layman, who posses sufficient foresight to pre- dict with any degree of accuracy, how long the practice will continue.
 This much is known, however, strange it may seem, that the use of money on election day is as distasteful to the poli- tioians as it is to that portion of the gen. eral public which considers itself as forming the better element of society
 Of this fact we are certain because we have heard it from the lips of political leaders in several states.
 The question naturally arises: "lf politicians dislike to use money at the polls, then why is it used?"
 Perhaps the reference recently made to this matter by New York state polit- ical leader, who also holds an impor- tant office, answers the question better than it could be answered in any other way. He says that in the first place his sense of right and of morality tells him the practice is one that deserves to be frowned upon, in the second place it inn poses hardship on candidates for the various offices, it causes them to take chances which. when they lose, burdens them with financial obligations which they find it difficult to satisfy, it sets a bad example for the younger generation, it is damaging and debasing practice in every respect, except so far as con- oerns the ordinary expenses which must be paid at every election and for which the state does not provide. He says he has often been asked why, if he knows the practice to be wrong, he does not advocate it's abolishment. His answer is that he does not take the stand be- cause he is not ready to commit politi- cal suicide, because experlence has taught him that the people who criticize the vote buying practice will not, at least have not in past instances, come to the front and lend their efforts and their influence toward the abolishment of the practice. They criticize the politicians because it is allowed to continue, yet when an effort is made to do away with the use of money they decline to lend their aid.
 This man is thoroughly convinced that if these people who 80 vigorously criticize the politicians, would volunteer to unite with them in an anti-money crusade, that the political forces would be found ready and willing to take up the work but that so long as they simply stand back and criticize and condemn. no progress toward the purifcation of tho ballot will be made.

TINE NEW HORTTCULTURE.

Why is it that new ideas are so
long in getting a footnold? IS it be-
cause people are satisfied to ''let we'll
enough alone?" That can hardly be,
for many peach and pear orchards
and orange groves are not doing we'll
enough. However, il is not an easy
matter to change an old orchard or
grove from the CULTURE method to the
mulch method. BIZ it might be done
if care was taken to fertilize and
mulch heavily
But We certainly do think that any
one who is planting more trees OF
any kind, makes a mistake if he does
not try this method on at least q
part Of them. A general adoption of
this plan would save so much in eX-
press and freight charges, as the
trees could be cut back at the nur-
sery and then less packing material
would be needed, and hence less
weight to pay charges on. Another
thing would be the great saving in
digging holes and setting the trees.
AT least two-thiTds of the time aud
labor usually spent at this work
would be saved and if, as is claimed,
the trees do better, why not save it?

DREADED TO EAT
A Quaker Couples Experience.

How many persons dread to eat
their meals, although actually hun
cry nearly all the time!
Nature never intended this, should
be so, for we are given a thing called
appetite that should guide us as TO
what the system needs at any time
and can digest
But we get in a hurry, swallow our
food very much as we shovel coal
into the furnace. and our sense OF
appetite becomes unnatural and per-
verified. Then we eat the wrong kind
OF food or eat too much, and there
you are-indlgestion and its accom-
panying miseries.
