United States Consul Clarence A
Miller, stationed at Tampico. Mexico
sounds in an official report a note OF
warning against incautious emigration
from the United States to Mexico and
against reckless investments in Next
can lands. He says:
A number Of American real-estate
promoters have come to Mexico during
the last few years. Thousands of Am
orleans have been induced to come to
Tampico for purposes of investigation
and investment. Many, influenced by
the glowing descriptions in the litera-
| ture of the real-estate companies, in
vested all their savings in a number
Of acres of land which they had never
even seen. Others brought their fam
lies with them, and had only sufficient
money to make a first payment on
a few acres. Numbers of such fami-
lies have become destitute because of
being without means to clear their
land and support themselves until they
could procure something. A number
Of others make ends meet until the
second payment is due and then de-
fault because some of the most at
tractive propositions in this section
require several years of waiting until
the productive period is reached. Some
this way. especially among those who
do not come to make a personal inves-
tigation, have received inferior land
or imperfect deeds. Such occurrences
not only work hardship upon the vic
Tins, but give a bad name to all of the
land men, although most of them are
honest and reliable.
There have been some Americans
who have succeeded in farming. fruit
growing and cattle-raising in Mexico;
but they have not plunged i'm at hap
hazard. They have looked over the
ground, found what could be done, and
gone in with means sufficient to COM
mand the situation. They have not
ignored the wisdom of the old prov
CRIB which warns that while the grass
Is growing the horse may starve."
Consul Miller gives good advice when
he says that Americans should not in
vest in Mexican and projects without
making a preliminary trip for person
II investigation. This is advice which
IS good as to other land projects as
we'll as those in Mexico. Putting
money into lands has made many peo-
Die rich, but also 1t has made many
people poor. The prudent man will
axe care. He will be sure he is right
before he goes ahead.

Democratic candidate was absent much

One Of the things MT. Hemans did
during his legislative career was to
vote against bill for an appropriation
for the Michigan College of Mines, but
he approved of scores of other appro-

agricultural school he would have vot-
ted in favor Of an appropriation for it.

FRANKER THAN ROOSEVELT.

This is an age when the talk for peace is common among the heavily burGened fighting nations and the star of hope has risen among those who believe that the day of disarmament is near at hand, although Australia and Canada are clamoring for navies of their own, with a prospect of event uallv getting them. Roosevelt, who is uroposed for president of a permanent rseace tribunal. is known as a man who will have peace If he has to light for it 4 British peace advocate, who believes that preparedness for war is the best guaranty for peace, has this to say of the prospect for an au-worId peace:
 Tt will take centuries before men win have sense enough to make the pest of a good world, in peace. I am a strong peace man, but recognize that we Britishers have the plums of The earth in our possession. We own about one-fifth of the habitable globe, and all the good coaIing stations and colonies And we say. We want peace. Yes. we want peace, but the other fel- low says. We want coaling stations and colonies and we're going to have them Ana they will have them, too. unless we are prepared to fight for what our fathers stC1e."
 we dream that the lion in human nature has lain down with the lamb, but, as of old, the lion will only lie down in peace when the lamb is in- side of 1t. The struggle for comner- ciai and martial supremacy is today as deadly as in the time of Cromwell, or the Greeks and Persians. Human na- ture hasn't altered, in spite of the thin veneer of Christian civilization which covers the ape and the tiger from the common gaze"
 If nations were honest and actually desired to make an end of war, it would soon be done, but so long as they are filled with ambitions for con- quest. with suspicion and fear con- corning their neighbors and a love of power. there is little hope of estab- fishing anything that approaches per nsnent peace

KNEW VALUE OF GOOD WATER.
Greek Writer Advised countrymen to
 SterIiixe Fluid.

The ancient Greeks already recom- mended the use of sterilized water. Rufus of Ephesus in the first century of this era taught that "all water from rivers and ponds is bad, except that from the Nile. Water from rivers which flow through unhealthy soil, stagnant water and that which flows near public bathing places is harmful. The best water is that which has been boiled in baked earthenware vessels. cooled and then heated a second time before drinking"
 This hygienic prescription was in- tended both for healthy and sick peo- pie, since 1t was applied to the armies. During marches and in the camps pits must be dug successively from the highest point to the lowest level of the place. These holes should be lined with clay such as is used for making pottery and the water should be made to percolate through 1t. The water will leave all its impurities in these pits"
 It may be inquired how the ancient Greeks, knowing the processes of ster- ilization and filtration of water which they applied to that of the most hmpid waters, should have drunk with out precautions the water of the Nile, which our microscopes allow us to declare sound" but which is in ap- pearance the most worthy of suspi- cion of all. and is so muddy. so yeh low. that 1t resembles wine.

The Goose Liver Trade.

In Strasburg this month the can ming of the famous goose flyers be- gins, and will keep several thousand people busy till next April. The finest livers come from geese that have never laid an egg.
 Johann Clauss. in 17e0, began to make goose liver pates in a small shop. He succeeded. but a competi- tor named Doyen. adding trufies to the goose liver pastry. soon outdis- tanced him. Now all pates de foie grass contain truffies: all are made &C., cording to the recipe composed by the talented Doyen over 100 years ago.

THE CORN GROWING.

Corn is q sprinter. The cold, ba ck- ward spring held the crop back for a spell most discoura agingly, but the July reports from the corn growing states are that the stalk Is as high as is customary at this time of the year. Some weeks ago there was the usual anxiety in regard to the pros pective crop. Now that anxiety has disappeared. Favorable weather has produced and is producing results. Farmers say the corn is growing an inch day, some say two inches. While no one can itemize the growth. ft is evident that July found the corn the usual height The Fourth of July Is the test for corn in Iowa. It must be knee high at that time. The stalk will more than meet expectations in this respect
 II looks now as If we were in the midst Of one of those phenomenal sea sons, when, as Secretary Wilson 5la IS noted the corn is pushing up from the earth a million dollars a day into the hands of man. There is a good business prospect ahead because the crops are good-harvesters are want ed by thou ands in a dozen states and the great railroad magnates are increasing their locomotives and freight cars in order to handle it sue cessfully.
 The golden corn deserves the title. for it is gold to the grower and wealth 10 the country.

ProvlnQ It.

When the earth comes between the sun and the moon 1t always casts a round shadow. A place chosen for an experiment to prove the roundness of the earth "was near Bedford, Eng land, where there is a straight six mile stretch of water. At both ends and in the middle of this stretch of water posts were erected, each of the same definite height above the water level. Upon looking with a telescope along the tops of these three posts it was clearly seen that the center one overtopped the other by about six feet, thus marking the curvature of the earth's surface" This experiment has been repeated, and with every latest appliance brought to bear to effect absolute accuracy. The state ment as to how a ship at sea shows the tops of her masts first and then gradually parts below that, but above the water, is a familiar one, and satis- fies most minds.

(written for the Bulletin.)

One day the child went to visit
 school with an older child named
 Sue. She had never been to school be- fore, and, as the long, warm, sunny would never have to go again. For her feet twitched and her eyes ached;
 she wanted to lean her tired head on the desk in front of her. but did not dare; and she. felt cramped an con- strained-Iike a wild thing caged. She
 was just enough older to make a baby of her, and tie ribbons in her hair. and show fler off to the other girls. The child liked Sue. and liked to play with her, but she did not like to be
 made a baby of. At last, the teacher rang her bell, and called the children t1 order, made them stand up in rows, and sent them filing out School was over forever, and the child was glad
 Outside, an organ grinder was grind ina his organ and a hapless monkey was dancing for pennies The child was in Sues care, and Sue led her by the hand. She supposed Sue was lead
 ing her home to Grandpa's, but before they knew what they were doing, they two, with a dozen other girls, had follower the organ grinder a mile or expentedly plunged into an obscure street. the monkey on his shoulder. they were sartled to find themselves a long way from home and in a sec ton of the city quite strange to them. The father of one of Sues school mates. kept the county jail, and when Sue said she was afraid they were lost. this girl asked all the children to go home with her, the great stone jail being then in sight The child said nothing. She was tired and home sick. her eyes acfled, and she wished she had not come. But she did not know her way back to Grandpa's, and Sue was dragging her along by the hand. From an ever increasing dis tance, she could hear the dismal grind of the organ berating the air.
 The jail was a queer old place. The jailor's family lived on the ground floor: overhead were the prison cells The jailor's daughter led her school mates up stairs and showed them one cell after another-all of them empty. Then sine led them up flight of steep. marrow, ladder-like steps and ushered them into a great, bare. garret room, a dark, dusty, ghostly garTet under the roof. There was nothing in the great room, absolutely nothing. Suddenly. with a rough laugh, the girl pushed back a sliding door, laughing still louder as Sue screamed and the child covered her eyes with her hands. For, back of the sliding door, appeared a cage, a large iron cage like a lions. There was a door in the front of it, big enough for a man to walk through, but this door was locked and barred and bolted. In- side the cage was a cot to sleep on,

Hinman" has melted him to enter the race for the United States sena- torship against Senator Bulkeley and ex-Gov. Mclean. Fearing I may be the "one- referred to, I hasten to dis claim any intention of getting your mayor or any other of my democratic friends into any such ridiculous posi- tion. However, if I have pushed him in. I will stand by him, as The An sonia Sentinel says Editor Clark is standing by Mclean. I make no claim to being a heavyweight. but can pull some. and it must be remembered that my man has not been in training as long as MT. Mclean.

Laid to Storaae.

A dispatch from Pittsburg says that spring broilers which sold a year ago at d5 cents pair are now quoted in the retail market at 50 cents a pound and that hotel men say they cannot serve them at that price. It is declared that nearly all the smaller hotels and restaurants have practically ceased Duylng poultry because of inc sud- den jump in prices in the last few weeks
 Apparently there has been no dimin- ution in the supply of this food and those who have been looking around for an explanation of the increased prices point to the fact that the storage houses are being filled with chickens. to be sold next winter at fancy prices The cold-storage men are taking every thing off the hands of the country jobbers and putting 1t away where it will keep until poultry is more of a. luxury than it is at present.
 1T ali this is true it raises an issue between the consumers and the cold storage owners. Months ago. when the country was more actively discus sing the high cost of living than it is now, the charge was made that the cold storage system was largely to blame for the increased cost of cer- tain foodstuffs The cold storage men answered that by declaring that their business was not to boost prices, but merely to make them more equitable the year around.-Buffafo Express.

isn't? It is all based on the fact that that on the ocean line-in the offing miles away, we see the masts before we see the hull of the ship. The law governing water gives it a convex sur face. The water in a hand basin or cup Is not perfectly level. The ma terial earth has mountain peaks five
 miles high anS. ocean cavities six miles deep. The contour of the globe SO -called-is that of a Jagged mass; but geographically it is round, because these peaks will come within an im- aginary circle. If the atmosphere in which we live is considered as a part of the earth there isn't much doubt that the globe clothed in it is round. But the fact that the earth Is actually round cannot be proven and this is why at least one intelligent cult hold together. still averring that the earth is flat.

WIDOWS MORE THAN HOLD OWN.
Have No Trouble In Maintaining Ad.
 vantage In Matrimony.

Sam Weller's immortal advice to his son still seems to hold good. Widows are still hard to beat in the matri- monial stakes. During the last year the spinsters have practically had it all their own way between the ages of 20 and 40. but after 40 it has been the widow who has scored all along the line. says the Philadelphia Record. They would seem to acquire, after their fourth decade has been reached, a way of dealing with man that proves irresistible. The spinster apparently gives up to readily, takes too modest a view of her seductive charms;
 whereas the widow, having a better knowledge of the frailty of the other sex, goes in and wins a second time.

 But why should 1t be the rule?"
 Because in the past horsemen wore swords. They wore them on the left hip. Hence. had they mounted on the right side, ths sword would have got in the way. So they mounted on the left. and we still mount on the left. Horses are accustomed to it. and if you try to get up from the right you are liable to be kjcked--
