It is unfortunate that the picture does not exist, except in the fervent transatlantic imagination. In a word, there is no Raphael in America. Strangely enough, then are very few forgeries even, the ohe «tr tWo canvaM with any approach to t& manner of the great Italian master bdng ao obviously imitative that no one-with any adequate knowledge of his work could possibly be deceived. It is, however, a pleasant fiction, and enables patriotic Americans in Europe to enlarge upon the superb masterpieces oversea.—Nineteenth Cen tury. Woe to That Dreiimaker! You may talk about naval heroes and rough riders all you like, but for super human nerve and colossal daring com mend me to a woman I saw in a dry goods shop hero in town only last Mon day morning. I had an excellent op pdlrtunity to observe hdr Owdly, for she stood precisely wheYe 1 desired to stand while she—well, this is what she did: She asked the salesman to show her a certain piece of red cashmere. Then she produced from her pocket the cut paper pattern of a child’s dress knd calmy pinned the pieces to the cloth. The talesman stood politely by, think ing, if a salesman ever had Bmh to think, that she desired to ascertkifi the 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 up. There Was a gleam of triumph in her eye. ‘‘Thank you, ” she said. ‘‘That’s all I wanted. I know it didn’t take four yards. That dressmaker has just kept that extra yard VM It half, that’s what she’s done.” yy But my, my! attnk of a dressmaker reckless enough th try to deceive a wo man like that!—Washington Post. A clergyman recefaily, addressing those who criticise others while they themselves are open to criticism, told 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. A Maalteal Explanation.

A KmJmui Trite* That lakaveral BteaArW Yean Behind th* Tina*. '*' ' t ’' ■' 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 rehlize at once the great difference be- I tween them and the other Mexican In dians who are to be seen there at that |tline. Not only is their style of clothing Very different, but also their language.— Mexico Two Republics. Grown IM Hatoantn Istead*. 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. Buddha's Bon**. 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 sive coffer of sandstone, burled under 18 feet of masonry. An inscription on one of the vases states that the relics,are those Buddha and Indicates that the tumulus was consfifocted about 300 B. C.—Cham bers’ Journal. Ch*tmeey*s Latest.

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.—- New York Times. Diplomatic.
