The other day while making a little trip over the Interoceonic, that runs through so many picturesque Indian towns, I hap pened to meet in one of these villages a very Intelligent Indian who told me the following. Whether it is true or not Ido not know—"l tell the tale as ’twas told to me." He said that on the northern slope of Popocatepetl, near the foot, there is a largo cave almost unknown to the outside world. In this cave lives an old white haired Indian who to tho oracle of a small tribe of Indians In that vloinity, whose language is unlike that of any of the neighboring towns. This little tribe has never been con- I quered either by the Spaniards or by the church, or by the modern government of the republic. The Indians have preserved all their old customs and traditions until this day And are practically as they were 400 years ago. One of the Very curious institutions among them is that of the oracle, or seer, who dwells in the above mentioned cave all alone. He ts always the oldest and wisest man of the tribe. He is looked upon with the same supejxtltlous reverence as were the oracles of Dodona and Delphos in the boyhood of the world. In that cave are preserved rare gomsof enviously carved emeralds, such as the great “Malinche" sent home to Spain; idols of gold and silver and copper and stone, pearl necklaces from the faroff gulf of California and strange robes of feather work, of which but very few examples are known today outside the pages of Saba gun, Prescott or Clavlgero. There are also ranged in fitting order the ancient gods of this strange ’ people, of whom this old man is the high priest Once a month a commission of toe oldest men of the tribe visits the cave and takes with it, in the name of the people, offer ings of fruit and flowers and eatables and incense in honor of the gods and their oracle. Upon all affairs of importance to the tribe this old man IS consulted, and his judgments are as those of tod Medes and the Persians I asked whether it would bo poeaible to visit him or, not and was told one, I not even members of the same t»Ufe, out side the before mentioned “corpinteslon" had ever seen the inside of that strange and mysterious cave. My informant told me that at a certain point all persons are stopped b£ a guard and told that they can proceed no farther upon pain of death. And this is not a tale of 400 years ago, but of today. The tribe and the cave are at the north side ot Popocatepetl, and every Saturday in Ailixco members of this tribe are at the market to buy and sell their simple neces saries of life. It is enough to see them to realize at once the great difference be tween them and the other M&xtoan In dians who are to be seen there at that time. Not only is their style of clothing very different, but also their language.— Mexico Two Republics. Grown In Hawaiian Islands. The soil of the Hawaiian Islands is of a very rich volcanic nature an<b nearly all the plants and trees of the tropical and temperate zones may be grown on it, but only a small portion of the land is under cultivation. When irrigation is perfected, there Is scarcely a limit to the productive capabilities of the Islands. Citrus fruits, oranges, lemons, limes and grapefruits can be grown, ripening in time to supply the deficiency of the Cali fornia market when that gives out. All vegetables, breadstuffs, mangoes, dates, figs, pomegranates, mulberries, strawber ries, guavas and cocoanuts grow in profu sion. There are hundreds of acres of land which might be used for oocoanut groves with great success. Thousands of acres are covered with guavas in the wild state, which tire falling to the ground ungath ered. The fruit makes a fine jelly, and United States capital might make guava jelly factories profitable. - Celery is grown if the proper soil is se lected. That this vegetable thrives in a warm climate was proved in southern Cal ifornia, where five years ago not enough was produced to supply the home market, but on the introduction of skilled methods from Michigan celery raising has become a great industry. Dairying might be made a profitable business in the Hawaiian Is lands, but at present is neglected. llnddliA'a Bones. * Some remarkable Buddhist antiquities recently discovered in India have been de scribed in the Allahabad Pioneer by Mr. Vincent Smith, a well known antiquary. Some years ago the discovery of an in scribed pillar, erected in the third century, indicated with certainty the site of Kapila vastu, the home of Guatama Buddha, who lived about 500 B. C. The ruins of this ancient city are now covered by jungle, but are being excavated, and thus build ings more ancient than any previously known in India arebeing brought to light. Another also in Nepalese ter ritory, close to the British frontier, is that of a brick tumulus containing relics of Buddha himself. These are fragments of bone, in a decayed woodea vessel, with which we found five small vases of soap stone and a very fine bowl of-rock crystal, all containing gold ornaments, pearls and precious stones, besides various objects delicately wrought in crystal and agate. This collection was deposited in a mas sive coffer of sandstone, fturiejJ under 18 feet of masonry. An inscription on one of the vases states that the relics are those of Buddha and indicates that the tumulus was constructed, about 300 B.C.—Gham bere’„Tournal. , . 1 Z 'a. , diMU nos Tatwt FJ 1 v 11 '< t The New Tolk Central station at New York has just been rebuilt The office of Mr. Buchanan on the top floor and partly under a mansard roof is lighted by deep little round windows like tho portholes of a warship.

THE CAMPFIRE. Wartime Bemlalseeneea of a Veteran el the Civil War. ■ "Men build fires in various places to cook their coffee by or to make them selves warm or for company's sofas;’’ said a civil war veteran, "and any fire is likely td be more or less a gathering point, but I suppose that the fire to which the name of campfire properly belongs, the campfire of song and story, is the cook’s fire at the end of the com pany street, built on the ground, under a pole supported at the ends by crofched sticks driven in the earth and from which the camp kettles are suspended. This was the gathering point of the company. "Men did not always stand about the campfire. It depended upon circum stances and on the weather. They met here, of course, at mealtimes; and there were times when men would stand around the fire and smoke and talk, and then it might be that the men would' keep their tents, playing cards or smok ing there, or mending their clothes, or polishing up their accouterments, so that there were times when Mie fire was quite deserted or when perhaps there might be' seen there a solitary figure, a man who had come to light Iris pipe. ‘‘But, though it aright be deserted, the fire still burned. Sometimes on cold and windy nights the wind would blow it about and scatter it, and some times, when it was no longer attended, the rain would put it out black, but there was usually a living fire there by day and a bed of embers by night, and here was the soldier’s hearthstone.”— New York Sun. ( Barrote Are Never Original. I have read of a'father who would not let his children tell their dreams because there is in such narrative too great temptation to wander from the truth. Parrot stories are too often like dream storiea—one-half true, and they are sometimes; plainly to any who knows the true talking power of these birds—made up entirely or greatly ex aggerated. While the parrot has a cer tain unmistakable sense of humor, and is correspondingly wise, none of the various species is or ever was capable of the original wise and witty talk fa miliar to us in newspaper anecdotes. In fact, the parrot is never original in speech. It is altogether imitative, and a bird that has never heard spoken words has surely never uttered a sylla ble. But, judging from parrots’ clever use of wh*t they learn to say, it is almost certain that they come to know in a measure the meaning of the phvazns they learn.—-Charlotte Boner in St Nicholas. The Bamboo Gan. The natives in the Buoherganj dis trict of Bengal have been deprived et their guns, and since then they have re sorted to the native bamboo in the hunt for defensive weapons. They hollow out the bamboo, load it with an ounce or two of native powder and a handful of Iron slug* and touch it off with a fuse in the immediate neigh borhood of the offending person. Another way, as the cookery books say, is to employ the bamboo as a fork wfih k cobra pitmed-to tife far fend.

The nurae’s duty may foe anything from binding up a wound to giving a hypodermic injection of morphine to easa some poor fellow’c sufferings. In a modern naval battle moat wounds are caused by fragments offliurzting hells. Such wound* are said by co competent an authority as Surgeon General Stevenson to be generally less dangerous to Ufa than those produced by the ordinary small bore bullets on the field of battle. They are often superficial rather than deep, though the flesh to generally much bruised and tom. In the case of wounds from frag ments of shell there to much danger from the lodgment of foreign eubstanot*, bits of the projectile Itself, shreds of clothing, etc., often being deeply imbedded la tho flesh.

Thecloth ing immediately over the wound Is always carefully examined to see if any part ot It to mtoziag, which has probably been carried, into the flesh. The men at the guns are carefully in structed to avoid touching wounds with their hands smeared, as they must bo, with powder and grease. Il is not until the guns are silent that tho surgeon’s real work begins. The most urgent caseo, such as thoceof hemorrhage, are always taken first, the question being how to save as many lives as possible.

Claydsn, fellow of tho Royal Meteorological society and head ot the college at Exeter, exhibited In a reoent lecture on photographing meteor ological phenomena some lantern slide views of clouds taken by him after a proc ess recently invented by him—photo graphs showing beautiful blues in all their clouds, from ultra marine down to perfect white, various grays and some iron red and greenish tints. The revolutionizing feature of the Clayden process consists in the fact that these colored photographs are positives—that is, according to the statement given out he has succeeded in obtaintogeotared prints by a purely chem ical way of developing the same on a spe cially prepared plate. The process at pres ent is restricted to lantern slides, but these are not colored by painting, but by* development, while colored paper prints loom - up distinctly in tho near future. Bright red rays, the Inventor says, have so far eeoaped him, but he believes that further experiments and probably a longer devourment will realize the mastery of that defect. As an intermediary stage be tween plate prints and paper printing, ivory or thin celluloid plates have been suggested.
