From the Mexican Herald. It would be a difficult matter to es timate the number of people who are directly dependent upon the mercantile supplies of this port, but It is certain that the number can be written with six figures. More than 5,000 of thesa boats are In commission on the Tamest and Panuco rivers, tbey vary In length from 20 to 60 feet and carry the wild and cultivated products of the interior to Tamplco. where they discharge their cargoes and reload with merchandise and other supplies. With two great , waterways, the Tamest and the Panuco, the native nav igators find It requires aeout SO days to make a round trip to distant points on the river. Every conceivable form of tropical plant and fruit may be found in tneir cargoes, aa wen as native made earthenware and other manufactured articles, a long poia la the only com pass required by lha captain of one of these barques, but he wields the bam boo which pilots him safely , over the shoal filled waters of a tropical wa terway. Many of the plantations along tha rivera keep several of these boats in commission all tha time, carrying their smaller product, to tha market and bringing back supplies for the haclepda. In the early hours of the morning green bananas are piled up along the wharves like cordwood, baskets of co coanuts, pineapples, wild and cultivated lemons and oranges and Innumerable other, producta of tha tropica can be seen In enormous quantities. And It is surprising how quickly the supply of tha day. ia exhausted. A string of freight cars on the track opposite the market are waiting for a portion of moat every Cargo, juid by noon there Is little left but the small vrults and vege tables In-moderate quantities. Value of Tears. Prom the London Dally Mall. ' Dr. Homme,- the well-known French medical Authority, speaks eloquently of the usefulness of tears in tha current Issue of La. Revue. . . Tears, ha writes, are' most useful In cases of great depression, or deep sor row. Crying creates a kind of cerebral torpor, a - mental indifference which acta as an anaesthetic.

The Week's business on the stock ex change has again given the impression or a nigniy manipulated market whose drift and purpose are extremely hard to understand. Tho nrinclcal buvina and selling has come, directly or Indirectly from a half dozen of the larger broker age firms and the orders have apparent ly originated in two or three affiliated sources. These few Individuals control tho Immediate movement .and forecast of the day to day fluctuations is simply guesswork as to what these operators have In their minds to do next, r In the early part of the week the ad vance was resumed at a rapid Dace and the prevailing Idea was that the up swing which halted a fortnight ago had been resumed. But the new campaign for the rise ended as abruptly as It had begun and in the latter half of the week prices lott much of their gain. These violent shlftlngs, however, are only a matter of concern to the class who make their living on the scalps. Range of stocks: O a a 9 Q mei" DESCRIPTION. Amal. Cop.

Mark Austin, general manager of the Utah-Idaho Su gar company, and other officials of that company, have been In Nampa the past week to look over the sugar beet situa tion for the Nampa factory and to meet with the Nampa Chamber of Com merce relative to the progress of .beet culture, acreage, etc., in thla section. When the Nampa factory was first built It appears that the chamber of commerce undertook to guarantee to the sugar company that 6,000 acres Of beets would be cultivated, but up to this time no such acreage has been 'planted. The factory people are Insistent that the chamber make (rood on the acreaae for the factory here, because the plant In as yet does not Justify the factory. It has been said that the factory people have srone so far as to threaten the re moval of the plant to Payette should, a better support not be forthcoming here. Some contentions on the part of the farmers indicate dissatisfaction, in that they claim it has not been profitable to raise sugar beets at $4.60 per ton. for which reason a large number who began the culture the first year have gone at other farming, -and the number of acres this year is not so crest as either of the precedlnsr years. They assign a number of reasons for the change to other crops. It has been well demonstrated, how ever, by farmers with small acreage in beet cultivation, where they had pre pared the around thoroughly, that the land had been made to net them from $50 to $75 per acre, the excellent show ing being- due entirely to the careful cultivation and the thorough preparation of the ground. These showings, are suf ficient to Indicate, that it Is not a fail ure of the industry when handled In a logical manner. But It does Indicate the necessity of small acreage properly cultivated, and points to the ultimate aim that Is being worked at by promo ters of this section that Is. small tract farming. The ba'mber of -commerce will put men In the field to 'encourage small tract beet culture, and It has been said that . number- of farmers who will agree to raise from one to ten acres should easily be available to fur nish the necessary 6.000 acres to retain tne lactory at isampa. JUSH WABMINGr UP. Man for Whom Nice Warm Corner in Hades Had No Terror. From the New York Hun. A man who has lived In the Dutch West Indies for years came back to New York last fall. , After two decades of slszllng In the tropics, life In the north promised to develop into one long, grand chill.

"80 they carried his body off to the crematory and handed it over to the persons In charge. They were toll that it would take about two hours to reduce the body to ashes, and were in vited to remain or to return at the eni of that period to witness the opening of the furnace, s "At the end of the two hours, there fore, in the presence of the assembled friends, the door of the furnace was opened, whereupon a hoarse voice from within called out Irritably: - - " -Shut dat door!
