Strange to say. as the march of modern Improvement goes on. there is an increas- ing desire for the old and picturesque. and this feeling finds expression in housefur- nishings. Some extremists are so fond of the old-fnshlcaed rooms that they try to meta morphose the most modernly con structed house into slmilitude with those in which their g:andmOthers held sway
 This desire Is becoming every yean more difficult to satisfy because the genuine antique furniture has almost all passed into the hands of the collectors. How ever. some of the more remote country districts of Pennsylvania. Massachusetts and New York still hold veritable treas- ures of Sheraton. Chippendale Heppe- white and other styles that can be ob- tained by the careful and systematic searcher. No fad is more entrancing than this. as all the skill of an expert is some times brought into play in detecting n valuable piece of furniture under the dis guise of modern paint put on by unap- preciative or ignorant owners. This de mand for skill merely serves 10 add zest to the game. however.
 It is almost ss great n pleasure to ob- tain such a piece of old furniture. dis guised and dis6gured by lack Of care and understanding and restore to 1t the prls- tine beauty Of polish and color. as 1t is to the physician who restores the in- jured person to condition.
 Oftentimes beautiful old pieces are dis covered stored in barns and covered with the dust of years. Once q very valuable f., this way. It was observed that the shape was odd and quaint. and on thls n,'- count 1t was secured at much reduced rate.

This operation employed all the spare time of several days. but the labor was amply rewarded by seeing the piece at last in its own color.

division of the Mexican Central, Is quick and the rates are low.
 This section is rapidly coming to the front and is well worthy the care- full investigation of any one who wish es to make a venture in Mexico. No other section in that part of the coun- try presents so complete a combina- ton of advantages to the investor: healthy climate, regular rainfall plenty of reliable, cheap labor, rich land, q variety of crops and low rates of transportation.
 Here sugar cane is one of the best paying crops. it only requires planting once in ten years. the plants produce from forty to fifty tons of cane per acre each year and is ready to cut ten months after planting.
 Bananas are also a lucrative crop. Baron Humboldt says an acre of ba- nanas will produce more food at less cost than any other known crop An- other authority has declared the ba- mana is the most productive of all the fruits of the world; it produces forty four times as much as the potato and one hundred and thirty-four times as much as wheat. An acre of bananas will produce annually from five to eight hundred punches of bananas at a cost of not over eight cents a bunch, yielding S225 worth of fruit an acre annually.
 This land will produce other fruits just as well. among them oranges and pineapples.
 The average rainfall of this section is forty-five inches a year distributed through ten months. The climate along the coast valleys. at an altitude of from two hundred 10 three thousand feet. is that of pereptual spring. Veg citation of all kinds is green through out the year, ard the valleys are so sheltered by the surrounding rnoun- tains. that neither heat nor cold need be guarded against.
 Taking advantage Of the wonderful properties of the Para grass, the stockmen Of this region have built up an ever increasing industry. One acre
