Mexico went to the gold basis in
good season. She has long been noted
for her rich silver mines. In fact, she
is by far the greatest silver producing
country in the world. Her output of
gold has also been considerable,
though she ranks low in that respect
as compared with the United States
and several other nations. But she
may do better from now on. 1t is an
nounced that the richest placer gold
fields ever found there have been dis
covered in the state of Oaxaca. The
deposits are found in an area of %, 900
acres, and If the proportion of gold
reported shall hold out there will be
an enormous addition to the worlds
supply.

Danger of injury is not the strongest
objection to sending the Liberty bell
across the continent. That is to be
considered, but there are reasons
enough why the bell should stay at
home without imagining impossible
perils. 1t should stay at home because
it belongs here, says the Philadelphia
Ledger. 1t derives its significance
from its association with the old state
house, where 1t should remain en-
shrined. People come from all parts
of the world to visit Independence
hall. They have heard of the old bell
and look for 1t there. The shrine of
liberty seems to have lost one of its
jewels when the bell is not there. To
take 1t away is to desecrate this ma
tional sanctuary. There is scarcely
more reason for lending out the bell
for exhibitions elsewhere than there
would be for similar misuse of the
table on which the Declaration was
signed or any similar object OF patriot
&c interest. Their interest comes from
and belongs to the place.

SOUL o. - L..-- -..--

Nearly all women are fo2d oil jew
els, and one OF the most acceptable
gifts they can receive is a valuable
piece of jewelry. They take great
pleasure in wearing it, or looking at it
and showing it to others, and they are
very careful not to injure it or to lose
1t; but far more precious than rubies
or the most costly jewels of earth are
the souls of the little children commit
ted TO their charge-and often so light
ly valued by them, says the Charles
ton News and Courier. Few mothers,
no matter how bad they may be in
other respects, are Indifferent to the
health and comfort of their children;
and there are few mothers who viii
not sacrifice a great deal in order to
secure these things for their little
ones. in the care of this precious
trust even a conscientious mother
often errs, because she does not rea-
lie clearly enough how sensitive a
childs mind is, and how quick to note
every word and action of those around
him. 1t is not enough for parents to
fulfill the promises given at the bap-
tism of their child, that they will see
that he is taught those things neces-
sary for his souls health" in the
ties; for unless the lives they lead in
the home agree in every particular
with what they teach him, their labor
will likely be in vain, so far does the
force OF example outweigh the spoken
word.

There was a birthday party at
Pasadena, Cal, which had some rather
unusual features. The affair was given
IN honor of young lady who had Just
reached eighteen and who was the ju-
nior member of the family. The
mother of the five children died sew
eral years ago, leaving an estate of
$2.O0O,O00 and a will providing for dis
uibuting the fortune when the young
est should come of age. So the party
was made the occasion of disposins of
the money, and the 'favors" to the

up and down his back; he gritted his
teeth; he shuddered perceptibly.
What is the matter?" she de-
manded, deeply concerned, but at
pains not to stir.
Maitland made a strange noise with
his tongue behind clenched teeth.
"Urrrrgh," he said distinctly.
She lifted her head, startled: relief
followed, intense and instantaneous.
I'm sorry" he muttered, humbly,
face afiame, "but you tickled."
'Tm-so-sorry! she gasped, vio-

almost a silent, little laugh, as with
deft fingers she tucked away the err
rant lock of hair.
"Ass!" Maitland told himself, fierce

In another moment they were on drv

and faced him, eyes dancing, cheeks
crimson, lips tense, quivering, scar

smile.
"But-thank you-but," she gasped,
explosively, cit was so funnyi"
Wounded dignity melted before her
laughter. For time, there in the
moonlight, under the scornful regard
of the disabled motor cars twin head
lights, these two rocked and shrieked,
while the silent night flung back dis
dainful echoes of their mad laughter.
