twelve inhabitants to each square

Indians, from their Spanish conquer
Ors and from the slaves introduced

also with Europeans, has further com

Nicaragua we find halfcastes with Eu-

Despite the fact that there is hardly
any immigration the population is in

WHERE MESH BAGS ARE MADE
A Lon Established Industry Of the
Balearic lsIands-Women Do
Work.

Barcelona-The manufacture of sill
yer and gold mesh bags and purses
is long established industry peculiar
to the Balearic islands, and is CEN
tered in the islands of Majorca and
Minorca.
Up to a few years ago the industry
was confined to small establishments
in the country towns where women
were engaged in weaving the mesh at
wages ranging from eighteen to TWEEN
ty-seven cents a day, according to the
quantity Of mesh made. Keen COM
petition, however, has led to the cree
ton Of factories, and the industry has
been considerably benefited. Former
ly the gold and silver wire, as well
as the mountings, were mostly import
ed from France, but at present the
entire process of manufacture is car
ried on In the islands.
There are twelve factories of note
in the islands Of Majorco and Minorca,
which not only supply nearly the home
demand but also export articles to-
France and other European countries
and to nome extent to America, Africa
and Asia. The annual value Of the
output is officially estimated at $780,
900. The output consists Of over 200
different styles. silver bags and purses
selling at SO cents to S36, and the gold
articles at SO to II cents a gram.
Owing to the prosperous state Of the
industry the manufacture of related
articles, such as chains. ETC.. has been
attempted.

director told me. The second and
most important one was the desire
for more humane treatment of the

THE colony is under the direction

"As the results of the system, 1t
may be of interest to mention that the

in England and Wales the rate has

Runs Away When Parent Urges Him
to Swallow Blchloride Of
Mercury.

Cumberland. Md.-Mrs. Lydia Fury,
forty-seven years old. widow OF Co
lumbus w. Fury, was taken to the
Western Maryland hospital in critic
al condition, having swallowed three
bichloride of mercury tablets. She
failed to get her four-year-old son
George to join her in the suicidal at
tempt. It seemed to have been her In
tention to take the child with her.
Dependency over the separation
from her children, two Of whom. Will
liam, fifteen years old. and John,
twelve years old, are at st. Mary's
Industrial school, Baltimore. is believ-
ed to have prompted the attempt at
self-destruction.
Mrs. Eury's family had been broken
up since the death of her husband,
more than a year ago. and she was
tired of life. With the son she was
living at the home of J. T. Yost. BIG
Race street, as housekeeper. The lit
tie boy told Pinkey Fury, his Uncle
that his mother endeavored to have
him swallow one Of the tablets. but
that he refused and fed down the
stairs after he had seen his mother
take three.
Mrs. Fury later became very Ill and
admitted to Mrs. Yost that she had
taken poison. Several hours elapsed
before a physician arrived. He took
prompt measures to counteract the
poison, and. because the woman took
an overdose. he thinks there is a
chance for her recovery.
