Count Paul Wolff Metternich, German am
bassador to the court of St. James, is a notable
member of a little group of gentlemen in various
parts of Europe at the present time whose sleep
O. nights must be decidedly ftful and uncertain.
They are the coterie of diplomats who stand be-

is being directed to the preservation of interna
tional peace with honor on the one hand and and
to the gentle stroking of the fur of peevish
princes.
At the present moment the position of Count

BRINGS THANKS OF CHINA

Tang Shao vi, the high commissioner of the
Chinese empire to the United States, who came
many thousand miles to thank the United
States government for remitting part Of the
Boxer indemnity, is one of the most brilliant and
capable men of the Flowery Kingdom. In fact,
he is American in many ways, having received
his early education at Springfield, Mass. He
arrived there in 1874 when IL years old, became
a guest of the family of E. C. Gardner, but later
moved to Hartford, Conn.,, where he attended the
high school, preparatory to his entrance into
Columbia university at New York. He was at

 a banquet by Pelham chapter.
 It is understood that this is to be tn e most elaborate entertainment of the week and that there will be many brilliant toasts before the party dis

Fermin was his musical name, and he was typical Mexican.
 "On the trail we had an opportunity to see something of Mexican customs and the life in the little adobe huts which the Mexican calls home. Ameri- cans receive a cordial welcome and are hospitably entertained. Mexicans look upon Americans as superior people American standards are considered cor rect, and a Mexican woman is taught from childhood that an American hus- band is superior to the men of her native land. Mexican women are i'll treated by their husbands, and the women believe that American women are queens in their houshold, due to the attitude of American men, and in con sequence the Mexican woman regards all American men with a view of max ing an international alliance. There are many of thesex marriages. was surprised at the percentage.
 "The invasion of Old Mexico, due to investments in the vast ore mines, has not been confined to Americans. Eng Iishmen and Scotchmen are attracted to this country on account of its rich resources They become fascinated with the prospects of unlimited wealth, and they marry Mexican women. You will find this mixture of races all through the mining country.
 While on the trail you are expected to dismount when in sight of every little adobe hut The social customs demand an interchange of hospitality, or at least a pleasant salutation from every one, after which you again start upon the trail The Mexican methods of salu- tation strike an American as being a little over done' A Mexican puts his arm around you and pats you on the back, and you are expected to do likewise. Even the Mexican women greet strangers in this way.

try Some of the Indian tribes are always on the warpath, and in certain sections of the country the trains are guarded and, in fact, they do not run at night. Everyone goes armed. In other sections, for instance in our mining district, the Indians are friendly, welcoming any in vasion, and Indian labor is employed as low as 25 cents a day.
 The pack mules are wonderful little animals and are practically a necessity in that mountainous country. The bur ros were brought in by the old Span iards and carry from POO to 300 pounds.
 Tn Mexico everything is measured by time. For instance the Mexicans do not commute distance by miles, but by how many hours by train.
 The inadequate maps of the country prevent any systematic surveys. Mex ican does not say how many acres he owns, but he will point to a mountain peak and say his property begins there, or, he will sweep his arm over towards the west and take in valleys extending for miles beyond without any geographical limitations"
 MT. Smith and other members of the party brought back many interesting souvenirs. They also have specimens of their ore mines. But perhaps the most valued trophy, not even excepting the gold bullion or the Indian blankets, is the mounted deer which was shot on wild trail in Old Mexico.
 Among the sports of the country MT Smith mentioned a football game which he witnessed between an Indian and Mex ican team, six on each side. The course covers as much as 20 miles. The ball, which is of wood, is kicked into the air al great height.
 MT. Smith considers Mexico a great opening for young men. He believes that the possibilities there are limitless and he says that there are many inviting fields for young men.
