she stood precisely wheYe 1 desired to

her a certain piece of red cashmere.
Then she produced from her pocket the

calmy pinned the pieces to the cloth.
The talesman stood politely by, think

quantity required for the garment she
intended to make, but she didn’t intend
to make any garment at all. After aha
had pinned the Whole pattern carefully
in place, she tgok it oft and rolled It

her eye.

A clergyman recefaily, addressing
those who criticise others while they

this story: “When I was a boy, We had
a schoolmaster who had odd waya of
catching idle boys. Bays he one day:
‘Boys, I must have closer attention to
books. The first one of yon that sees an
other boy idle I Want yon to inforin me
and I will attend to the case.* ‘Ah,’
thought 1 to myself, ‘there’s Joe Sim
mons, that I don't like. I’ll watch him,
and if I see him look off his book I’ll
tell on him. ’
“It was not long before I saw. Joe
look off his book, and immediately I
informed the master. ‘lndeed,* said he.
‘How did you know he was idle?’ ‘I
saw him, ’ was the reply. ‘ You did. And
were your eyes on your book when you
saw him?’ I was caught, but I didn’t
watch for the boys again. ” —New York
Tribune.

As is Well known to nil who have looked
into the matter carefully—for instance,
such meh as Lumholta, Starr and Seville
—there are in remote parts of Mexico to
day so to fofind portions of tribes of Ih
dlans who toe practically as much given
to iifolatry, iuperstitlon aud witchcraft as
were theflr forbears In the vanished years
wheh the gleaming banner of Castile and
Aragon glanced amid the peaks and val
ley* of Mexico, announcing the advent of
a stronger iwoe and more victorious faith.,
The other day while making a lift!* trip
over’th* Interocoanio, 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 th*
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 •
large cave almost unknown to the outside
world. In this cave lives an old white
I hatred Indian who is the oracle of a small
tribe of Indians in that vicinity, whose
language is unlike that of any of the
neighboring towns.
This little tribe has never been con
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
X‘
institutions among them is that of the
oracle, or seer, who dwells in 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 of Dodons
and Delphos in the boyhood of the world.
In that cave are preserved rare gems of
curiously carved emeralds, such as the
great “Mallnche” sent home to SpMn;
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
khown 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 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
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
had 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 CaVb are at the north
side of Popocatepetl, and evtoy Saturday
in members of this tribe are at the
market to buy and sell their simple neces
sarios of life. It is enough to see them to

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 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, limesand
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, jxnnegranates, mulberries, strawber
ries, guavas and coooanuts grow in profu
sion. There are hundreds of acres of land
which might be used for cocoanut groves
with great success. Thousands of acree
are covered with guavas In the wild state,
which are felling to the ground ungath
ered. The fruit makes a fine jelly, and
United States capital might make guaYa
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.

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 dtocovery of an in
scribed pillar, erected in the third oentury,
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 oovere* by jungly
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,
all containing gold ornaments, pearls ana
precious stoned, besides vatlous object*
delicately Wrought in crystal and agate.
This collection was deposited in a mas

the vases states that the relics,are those

Not to roe the gambling rooms at
Monte Carlo by night would bo to miss
the grand show of the place. There are
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 allAhe
neighboring places—from Cannes, Nice,
San Remo, Mentone, sometimes from a?
far as Genoa. People ride down from
Paris, 20 hours in th a rapide, just for a
little “shy’’ at the tables.’ All outside
is aa bright as day, though chilly.
When I set out lor the casino, I came
upon a young English couple standing
near the big fountain, discuaaing aome
thing with great earnestneaa. They
were good looking, well dreaaed, with
aomething of an air of a bridal oonple.
What became of them Mt the moment I
did not notioe, and inside I stood for a
few iblnutba watching the roulette ta
bles. Ten 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 Londoaers wy. In one hand he held
< great bundle bf French notes, all
stretched out at full length, just aa 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 place before they were tempt*
ed to try again and loro.
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
(f 2,000 at every dealing of the cards/
He was particularly interesting to me,
because he was beyond doubt an Ameri
can. He was a fine looking man, with
gray hair, iron gray beard, well trim
med, a shrewd eye tnat watched every
move the dealer made, and of course in
the regulation black evening clothes.
His face showed him to be a man who
had made his money, not inherited it
I think that lumber was the foundation
of his fortune in the northwest some
where, but long enough ago to give him
time to have the sawdust brushed out
of his clothes, for he was very smooth
and well groomed. Not la word was
said around the table, so there was no
chance to hear what language he spoke.
He was one of those men who would
not look at all out of place leading a
prayer meeting, but who might be 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 tho usual effort to look as if
risking *2,000 every three minutes was
an everyday affair with him. He did
everything with cantion, always delib
erating over what square he should lay
his money upon, and sometimes chang
ing it to some other square after he had
laid it down. But whether he won or
lost he showed no emotion whatever.
Ho won oftener than he lost while I
watched him, patting the winnings al
ways into the same vest pocket. At one
time the banker made a mistake in du
plicating a pile of his notes that had
won, but this did not bring a word from
him. His eyes were open, and instead
of picking up the pile he merely pushed
it back toward the banker, which was
a sufficient hint for a recount. When
the mistake was corrected and the mim
ing note supplied, he added the pile to
the big lump in his pocket
Like almost every player around the
trente et quarante tables, he was there
strictly for business. It was not a few
dollars laid on for the novelty of the
thing, but 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 in Cuba and Mexico. Never
have I seen 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 gambling, but that is the
case. The sideboard is almost as neces
sary as the tables, and George and Sam
bo and Henry are kept busy carrying
champagne and cocktails to the thirsty
players. This is pure business with
“the house, ” even where these things
are not charged for, for does not a man
become the more reckless the more al
cohol he absorbs?
But there is none of that here. There
is no smoking in the rooms, and no
drinks axe served at the tables. As far
as I have seen, there is no place in the
casino building where drinks can be
had, though possibly there may be some
cozy corners that I have not discovered.
It is as much a business house as a
wholesale dry goods store, and the
profits are larger for the firm. This
gives it a very cold blooded atmosphere,
for there is not a particle of interest in
either of the games outside of the finan
cial risks involved. They are stupid
games of doctored chance that a navvy
can play as well as an arithmetician.—-
