PORFIRIO DIAZ, THE GRAND OLD
MAN OF MEXICO.
Knler Who KxtrcUoi Vast rowers
with Ilcncflttn the Country and Jn-
tic. to th. Indlvldual-An Autocrat , ,n c monh
for Tncntycliilit lenrs.
When Wnrren Hastings wss charged
wltli using Ills despotic power In India
for private gain, ho cynically replied:
"When I think of niy chances I am
surprised at my moderation."
There Is n despot of to-day who has
had far better chances of "graft"
than even Warren Hastings. out never
used them. That man Is l'ortlrlo Diaz,
for twenty-olght years the autocrat of
Mexico. Ills power over tho pobllc
treasury during that long period has
been nbsolute, but even his worst ene
mies do not allege that ho ever robbed
his country of n ceut And that Is In
deed remarkable In a Lntlu-American
country.
Diaz Is the hero of tho Mexican
army. When ho was a young soldier,
tho "Hero of l'uebln" was the most
admired and popular otllcer In the pa
triot army that fought tho French In
vaders. Ho was always the first In
the charge, tho last to retreat, tho
quickest to volunteer for tho post of
danger. He held his own llfo as noth
ing In comparison with the cause. Yet
no officer was more careful of tho lives
and comfort of his men.
Throughout his career Dlax has paid
great attention to tho welfare of tho
Mexican army. Ho often visits the
soldiers unexpectedly In their camps
and barracks, tastes their food, finds
out whether they nro regularly paid
I pnro of from 73 cents to SI a day. It
I tnlie. n i-rwul newer, however, to cam
St a day.
"The bulk of the work Is done by
tho women In their lodges In connec
tion with their usual domestic duties.
Women frequently earn S10 each In a
month. Mary Washeo lately made SIS
Her Industry Is more
apparent when It Is known that we
pay nt the rate of about 2ty cents a
square Inch for solid beading. Indian
women are the most Industrious wom
en In tho land. In primitive days their
llfo was one of constant toll, and In
fallowing civilized ways they nro not
shirkers. At Mohonk lodge an Indian
woman can find employment at any
tlmo at wages that will add much to
the comfort of herself and children.
"Mohonk lodge has advance orders
for more than $1,000 worth of bead
work. Our output this year will
amount to fully $5,000. The experi
ment has been so successful that sub
stations will bo established at other
places In Oklahoma for the sale of
beadwork and the employment of In
dlnn women. In the sale of our goods
we tlgure their exact cost aud add 25
per cent for the retail trade, but this
will be Increased. Traders pay 10 per
cent less than the list price and com
plain that their margin for profit is
not big enough. We purpose giving
the traders a 23 per cent reduction
and will advanco retail prices in proportion."

and well treated, and whether the of
ficers are doing their duty and look
ing after their men properly.
Thus It Is Uiat the Mexican army Is
the best in Latin America, not even
excepting the Prussianized troops of
Chile. It Is mainly composed of full
blooded Indians, who arc readily dis
ciplined and as brave as men could be.
Foreign officers say they are second
to no other troops as marchers and
fighters, and In frugality and content
ment they are far ahead of most of
the world's soldiers. Diaz Is proud of
them, and they look upon blm almost
as a god.
Sometimes his officials In Mexico
City require his presence urgently to
decide a knotty point or sign some Im
portant papers. "What has become of
tho rresldent to-day?" they ask one
another excitedly.
The answer Is always much the
'KBVlIe has heard of an old wom
an, 100 miles away, whose husband
was killed fighting for the Independ
ence of Mexico. She is living In pov
erty. Immediately the rresldent has
dropped everything and gone off to see
her and to arrange for her future. He
would never delegate such a task to a
subordinate.
When he became President, away
back in 1873, before his principles be
come known, bis relatives and friends
nsed to go to him for easy jobs under
the government They expected to bo
allowed to plunder the treasury In tho
good old-fashioned Mexican way, and
they were very much disgusted when
Diaz made It plain that he neither In
tended to loot on his own account nor
to allow anybody else to do so.
Since then Diaz has dealt sternly
with many of bis family and his tribe,
who. Having been placed In public of
fice, abused their trust.
Although Diaz has been an auto
crat for twenty-eight years, wielding
absolute sway over all the affairs of
bis country, bo Is unspoiled by power.
Ills mind Is broad and his views liber
al. Ho Is not above taking advice or
admitting that be has made a mistake.
President Diaz Is now 73 years old.
Scientific Method of Kemovlog the
Objectionable Elements.
Ilaln water, while percolating
through the ground to find Its leva! In
the surfaco or deep streams, picks up
a largo quantity of carbonic acid, by
tho presence of which the chalk (car
bonato of llmel. raagneslan limestone
(chalk and carbonate of magnesia),
Ironstone, soda, potash and a few oth
er compounds arc enabled to dlssolvo
and are held delicately and unstably
In solution as blcarbonates, says the
Engineering Magazine.
Now the fundamental operation of
the softening of waters hard from this
cause Is to remove the excess of car
bonic acid by the addition of some sub
stance with which It readily combines,
and preferably oue that forms an In
soluble or only very slightly soluble
compound. Quicklime (calcium ox
ide) when carefully dealt with Is the
best of these on account of Its cheap
ness and splendid efficiency. The
quantity of excess carbonic acid In
the hard water Is determined by analy
sis, and from the result the required
amount of calcium oxide Is calculated
to completely satisfy this In the proc
ess of forming chalk. The lime Is add
ed to the water In the form of milk
of lime of known strength, and what
might be termed the beautiful. part of
the reaction is the double transforma
tion that takes place. The newly added
milk of lime not only becomes Insol
uble chalk by combination with the
carbonic dioxide, but reduces the bl
carbonates of lime and magnesia to
the Insoluble monocarbonates, and all
three fall together In the form of a
heavy and rapidly clearing precipitate.
The bicarbonate of Iron when robbed
of its carbon dioxide falls with the
chalk and magnesium carbonates In
the form of red rust, the superabun
dant water remaining perfectly clear
nnd soft. The potash and soda, of
course, remain dissolved, but are not
In any way harmful If present In only
small quantities.
THINGS WORTH KNOWING.
REVIVE ART OF BEADWORK.
Indian Women Make Considerable
Money by the Industry,
Women and girls of the Cheyenne
and Arapahoe Indian tribes are main
taining a successful Industry at Col
ony, O. T.. through tho assistance of
the Iter. Walter O. Itoe, a missionary
of the Dutch Reformed church, aided
by Mrs. Itoe, a cultured Boston wom
an. Mr. Roe is the nephew of E. P.
Roe, the novelist, says tho Kansas
City Star. When Mr. nnd Mrs. Roe
went to the Mohonk conference of In
dian workers In 16US they told of tho
need of employment among the Indian
women in rWutbweetern Oklahoma,
and suggested that Indian beadwork,
then in its decadence among Uiese In
dians, bo revived and the products
old wherever a market could be
found. In a few minutes enough
money-was glw;u to erect tho building
now known as Mohonk lodge. It is a
substantial one story and a half frame
structure, with' one large salesroom
filled with Indian curios and all man
ner of beadwork; another used as a
workroom, and others reserved as
apartments for the matron In charge
and ber assistants.
"At first our greatest difficulty was
in finding n market for our beadwork;
our trouble now Is In supplying the
demand," said Mr. Roe. "Our bead
,work finds a ready market from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, and some has
been sold In Europe. The workman
