The Fruits of Perilous Effort. "Do these north pole explorers ever iiecomplinh anything?" "Oh, yes; they often come back and start put ti;ain." Detroit Free COUNTRY POLICE OF MEXICO. The rural ok arc the country po lice of Mexico, and their like does not exist in any other country. Their organization was a stroke of diplomacy on the part of President Diaz. It was in the pcventies, when Ihe country bad been infested for years with banditti, that he otTered amnesty to all these highway roh 1 ers who woud enlist in his sendee, and guaranteed them n salary larger thnn that received by cavalrymen in any other part of the world. They knew every nook and corner of the country, were fearless and expert in horsemanship and the use of fire arms. The president wisely discerned that such qualities could be of pecul iar value to him if rightly directed. The bait tempted them, for it was more reliable than their precarious way of paining a livelihood, and of fered honor instead of the constant danger of imprisonment and death that had been their portion. They accepted the proposition unanimous ly, nnd have served the administra tion so zealously and elliciently that brigandage" throughout Mexico is almost, entirely a thing of the past, and crime in general is much less ! frequent than before. Overland Monthly. The New Mint. "There is no danger that any one will carry away Uncle Sam's money stored in the new Philadelphia mint," says J. K. Taylor, the super vising architect of the structure. "The vaults are built on the soli rock underlying the city. Fortu nately it catne to the surface here nnd extends under the building and clear across the street. 'Wo found early in our work that there would never be any danger of tunneling, ns the rock is so full of springs that the smallest opening is immediately Hooded. 'The would be tunm ler would he drowned. "The vaults are built, of solid steel, the gold vault being seven inches in thickness, while the silver vaults are an inch thick. It is not liccessary to take so great precau tions with the silver, as it is so bulky and heavy it could never be carried away except with drays. Even now there are big ingots of silver" lying about the hallway just covered with tarpaulins. Hut we have no fear of its being stolen." CONDENSED STORIES.

Yanko Island. That there should be room for discovery of an island in the sea of Japan nt this time of day seems hardly credible. It would almost be as much expected to make a dis covery of tho kind in the Caribbean sea. Yet, according to the Xichi Niehi, a Japanese paper regarded as reliable, it appears that an island was discovered at a point between Ul-long-do, island of Korea, and the Oki archipelago, about 30 miles oT. No maps heretofore have the island referred to. It is described ns two miles long nnd about the Fame in width. Trees und grass are there, nnd it contains many inlets, affording good anchorage. The island was discovered by a fisherman about a year ago, ho finding the waters about it fairly alive with sen horses. The new island is called Yanko by the iishermen of Japan and Korea. Montreal Star. A Piscatorial Pun. It is delightful to be able totpuote what is perhaps a new fish story from the New York Times Saturday Ueview. It is one which Mr. Frank Stockton tried on "John Paul." A gentleman asked a question of a boy who was fishing. The boy mumbled an indistinct response. "Why can't you speak plainer?" said tho gentleman. "What have you in your mouth ?" "Wums, wums, for bait," nnswer cd tbo boy. "That was the first instance J ever knew," remarked Mr. Stockton in telling the story, "of anybody's real ly speaking with baited breath." Coeducational Matrimony In Russia. In Kussia if a girl desires to study fit either of the universities etiqoctte requires that she should be married. Accordingly she goes through the civil form of marriage with one of the men students, whom she may never have seen before and perhaps may never speak to again. These marriages are perfectly legal, and if the contracting parties like each uthcr they are united for life, but otherwise the marriage is dissolved when their university course is fin ished and both nre free to marry ngain.
