Smith had traveled aU over the world. He was as well acquainted in Cape Town as at St. Petersburg, he had lolled in the flower .decked teahouses of Japan and eaten tallow beyond the land of the Mid night Sun. The clubs of London and the coffee houses of Budapest were as well known to him as the streets of New York, and he knew his way in the streets ot Stamboul as well as In those of his native Rhode Island town. He saw things as he journeyed through the world and had a happy way of telling them, and when ho said, without cause or prove ~»jon, that be knew something about soi F we knew he had a story to tell, so we filled our pipes, and then some one asked, ‘ Where?” “You fellows don’t know anything about the far east, and when your time comes you’ll be perfectly willing to be planted in the orthodox way or cremated according to the modern usage, but if you died down there the higher distinction ot being disposed of in the Temple of Silence might await you. There are heathens down there who will not bury their dead because the earth is sacred, and they will not burn them because they wor ship the fire, and the dead would defile it, and so they have towers built where they take their dead and let the vultures do the rest. They have men to attend to the business of placing the bodies on shelves in the inside of these grewaome structures, and it’s death to any one who is not em ployed there to go into one of the places. Well, we were in Teheran and we wanted to get jnto the teffiple there in the worst way and did not wish to die to enjoy the privilege nor to be killed for running the blockade. We took a native to show us the country, mounted <m camels and rode toward the temple. The man in charge of the place was drawn into conversation, and we Went so far as to offer him a drink out of a bottle -of wine, but he refused, wine being prohibited by his faith. We had a flask of Scotch whisky in our kit and offered him some of that. He had a little argument with himself and ed that Scotch whisky was not wine and took a drink that would have staggered a Russian sailor. He did not refuse a second drink when it was offered, and between the. heat and the whisky he was soon fast asleep in front of the sacred building which he was under solemn obligations to bamboo trees, which we leaned against the walls, and presently we were looking over the top of the charnel house on the gallery where the partly consumed bodies were laid out. It was an easy matter to get ip, and we went and picked up a few souvenirs in the way ot teeth, and my companion took a section of vertebrae, saying that he was going to bore a hole in -It and use it for a candlestick. There were shelves and galleries below, and all were delighted with thegrewsome burdens, and when we had seen all we stole away, gave a parting look to the drunken guard, who was still in a stupor, and returned to town. “Next day we made inquiry of one of the officials as to the temple. We told him that we knew that no one was allowed in the structure, but we had heard that there were upper and lower shelves for the bodies and asked if the arrangement had any significance. “ ‘Yes,’ he said, ‘it has. The bodies are all placed on the upper shelves when they are taken in, and then the carriers watch for the coming of the vultures. If the first of these attacks the rlght eye, the soul of the body has gone to heaven, and the body remains there; if it picks at the left eye, the soul has gone to the other place, and the body goes to the shelves below. * They believe that implicitly, and that is why I say that I know one place where people have no doubt on that subject.” in the Seed of Corm 3,000 Years Old. Three or four years since an Indian mound iu'Arkansas was being excavated when an earthen jax waa found, hermetic ally sealed, that contained a small quan tity of grains of Indian corn. Some of the grains were the next year planted in Mis souri and several bushels raised. On the top of the mound from which the jar was dug out a large tree four feet in diameter was growing, and It is thought the corn lay buried about 8,000 years. Squire James L. Neal,’ one ot our most prosperous and progressive farmers, sent and procured a small quantity of the oom, paying over 2 cents a grain. This he planted last year, but the yield was small on account of the drought. He saved enough, however, to get in a good patch this year. He has used it for roasting tare and says it Is the best he ever had. The ears are not large, but grow two to three on a single stalk. The one thing peculiar about this edm Is its color, or rather col ors. On the same cob are grains of differ ent colors, and in the row you can find an ear that is white, another blood red, one salmon colored and another perfectly black.—Harrodsburg (Ky.) Sayings. A Municipal Public Monse. ‘‘ln Scotland,” says an English paper, “a modification of the Gothenburg system seems to bo making headway. A little vil lage near the Dunfermline, named HUI of Beath, has municipalized Its public house and installed the electric light out of the profits. This success has raised envy in the soul of another village close by, called Kelty. Kelty does not see why It should not municipalize Its whisky drinking, so a public meeting has been held, with areal live county councilor In the chair, to pro pound a scheme. A sum of £2,000 is to be raised as capital wherewith to erect the public house. There are to be eight direct ors—six elected by the shareholders and two by the county council. The share holders are to get a 5 per cent dividend on their capital, and the surplus profits are to be handed over to the county council to be applied as it sees fit.” England'A Tramp Card.

A JCeaieaa Tribe That I* Several HaaAred »*" B **‘“<* ’*■*• As is well known to all who have looked Into the matter carefully—for instance, such men as Ltltaholta, Starr and Sovilis —there are in remote parts of Mexico to day to be found portions of tribes of In dians who are practically as much given to idolatry, superstition and witchcraft as were their forbtars in the vanished years when the gleaming banner of Castile and Aragon glanced amid the peaks and val leys of Mexico, announcing the advent of a stronger race an* more victorious faith. The other day vdifierohklfig a iftfle trip over the Tntaroneanie, that runs through so many picturesque Indian towns, I hap pened to meet In one of three 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 large eave almost unknown to the outside world. In this cave . Uvea an old white haired Indian who is the oracle of a small tribe of Indians in that vicinity, whose language is unlike that of any of the neighboring towna ; This little tribe has never been con quered either hy the Spaniards or by tbs 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 orade, or seer, Who dwells la the above mentioned cave all alone. He Is always the oldest and wisest man of the tribe. He is looked upon with the same superstitious reverence as were .the oracles ot Dodona Delphos in the boyhood of the world. lOGihat cave are preserved rare gems ot curiously carved emeralds, such as the great “Mallnche” 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 kpown today outside the pages of Saba gun, Prescott or Clavigero. 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 the 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 the Medes and the Persians I asked whether it would be possible to visit him or not and was told that no one, not even members of the same tribe, out side the before mentioned “commission” had ever seen the Inside of that strange and mysterious cave. My informant told me that at a certain point all persons are stopped by 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 of Popocatepetl, and every Saturday |ia Atllxoo 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 jealise at once the great difference be tween them and the other Mexican 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 and nearly all the plants and trees of the tropical and temperate sones may be grown on it, but only a small portion of the land is under cultivation. When irrigation u perfected, there is scarcely a limit to the productive capabilities of the islands. ,/ Citrus fruits, oranges, lemons, limesand grapefruits can be grown, ripening in time to supply the deficiency of the Call .fornia market when that gives out. All vegetables, breadstuffs, mangoes, dates, figs, pomegranates, mulberries, strawber ries, guavas and ooooanuto 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 are falling to the ground ungath ered. The fruit makes a fine jelly, and United States capital might make guava folly Stories profitable, , Celery is grown if the proper soil isse warm climate was proved m southern Cal ifornia,.wb«ro, five years ago not enough was produced* to sqpply the home market, but oh the introduction of skilled methods from Michigan celery raising has become a great Industry. Dairying might bemads a profitable business in the Hawaiian Is lands, but at present is neglected. Buddha’s Bones. Some remarkable Buddhist antiquities recently discovered in India have been de scribed in the Allahabad Pioneer by Mt. 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 Ksplla vastu, the home of Gnatasna Buddha, who lived aboutdOO 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 are being brought to light. Another discovery, 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 wooden vessel, with which we found five small vases of soap stone and a very fine bowl of rock crystal, aU 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, burled 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 800 B. C.—Cham bers’ Journal. Chaaaeey*a * Lstal.

Not to see the gambling roans at Monte Carlo by night would be to mire the grand show of the plaoe. There axe not people enough in the town to make up the crowds that press through the big corridor and the atrium in the even ing. They come in trains from all the neighboring places—from Cannes, Nioe, San Remo, Mentone, sometimes from as far as Genoa. People ride down from Paris, 20 hours in the rapidd, just for a little “shy” at the tables. AU outside is as bright as day, though chilly. H When I set out for the casino, I came upon a young English couple standing near the big fountain, discussing some thing with great earnestness. They were good looking, well dressed, with something of an air of a bridal couple. What became of them at the moment I did not notice, ahd Inside I stood for a few minutes watching the roulette ta- Wte. Tpn minutes later I went into the trente et quarante room and met them just inside the big arched doorway. They were on their way out Her rosy cheeks were rosier than before, and her face was wreathed in smiles. He was fairly radiant and looked “very fit,” as the Londoners say. In one hand he held a great bundle of French notes, all stretched out at full length, just as they came from the tables. It took no great shrewdness to see that for ten minutes they had been leading active, industri ous lives and had reaped the reward of industry and virtue and were getting out of the plaoe before they were tempt ed tq tiyagain and lose. One elderly gentleman was at the moment doing the leading business in that room and attracting the most at tention by risking ten 1,000 franc notes (12,000) at every dealing ot the cards. He wai particularly interesting tome, because he wm beyond doubt an Ameri can. "He waa a fine looking man, with gray hair, iron gray beard, well trim med, a shrewd eye that watohed evary move tito dealer made, and of course in the regulation black evening clothes. His face showed him to be • man who had made his money, not inherited it I think that lumber waa the foundation of his fortune in the northwest some where, but long enough ago to give him tima to have the sawdust brushed out of hfa clothes, for ha waa very smooth and Well groomed. Not • word was said around the table, so there waa no chance to hear what language he spoke. He was one of those men who would not look at all out of plaoe leading a prayer meeting, but who might ba de pended upon for a ready revolver if he caught the dealer at any foul play. The notes came out of one of his vest pockets, but not carelessly. There was none of the usual effort to look as If risking >2,000 every three minutes was an eve&day affair wjth him. Ha did everything with caution, always delib erating over what square he should lay his money upon, and sometimes chang ing it to anno other square after he had laid it town. But whether he won or lost heWiwed ho emotion whatever. Be woq jifl&ter than he lost while I watched hito, putting the winnings al ways igtptfa same vest pocket. Atone time the banker made a mistake in du pHqatingfi pitaof his notes that had won, bufithisdid not bring • word from him. Bis eyes were open, and instead of pickft# up tiie pile he merely pushed it back toward the banker, which was a sufficient hint for a recount When the mistake was corrected and the miss ing note supplied, he added the pile to the big lump in his pocket Like almost evtay player around the treate et ffuhrante tables, be was there strictly for business. It was not a few dollars laid on for the novelty of the thing, bnt a deliberate speculation in the hope of winning. My experience of gambling houses is fortunately rather limited, but I have seen the big places of Saratoga and Long Branch and one or two in New York and some very large ones Ih Cuba and Mexico. Never have I seatt such a businesslike air in any gambling room as there is here. You may not be wicked enough to know that generally a great deal of smoking and drinking and some eating go with fashionable rambling, but that is the case. The Sideboard is almost as neces sary as* the tablet and HecegejndHam “*d Henr y «« busy carrying chmmabte and cocktails to the thirsty is pure business with “the house,” even where these things are ndt charged for, for does not a man beoome the more reckless the more al cohol heahsorbs? But there is none of that here. There is no smoking in the rooms, and ao dtinMtateaamdwttha tabfes.
