NEGROES OF T-E V. uoDS
A Story That I* I’nlqo* in .tbo History <rf
Human Migration.
On any good map of South America
may be found in Dutch Guiana the name-
of a number of savage tribes inlialiiting
the wooded and hilly uplands of tlie in
terior. Among them the Aukan, Sa-
ramacca, Bekoe and Bonis are full
An Interesting Process That the PublU
Knows Little About.
There are many things to be seen at
the United States mint ou Fifth street.
It is not generally known that this is the
largest institution of the kind in the
world; yet it is a fact, and in its facilities
for the rapid and perfect coinage of
money the San Francisco nnnt is con
ceded to be much 6U wrior to the Royal
mint of .London, which is generally sup
posed to be the largest and most com-
; >Iete mint on earth.

aanner in which dollars and (lanes are
centuries ago in slave ships to labor on the
coast plantations of their Dutch masten-
Terribly maltreated in the early days of
ihe colony, many of them took refuge in
the almost inaccessible solitudes of the
forests. Now and then they found meane
lo tempt their friends still in bondag«
iM join them in the mountain val
leys. The bondsmen played a sorry joke
upon their masters in 1712. when Ad
miral Cassard attacked the Dutch settle-
menLs, and hundreds of slaves wera
Lurried into the interior for concealment.
JVaee soon came, but there were few
negroes to return to the coast, for they
preferred wild life with their friends near ,
the headwaters of the rivers of Guiana t»
drudging their lives away on coffee and
tobacco plantations. So the numbers of
self released Africans gradually increased,
and there their descendants have lived
ever since, as distinct from the Indians
around them as from the whites of tin,
coast. They have, apparently, not
grown in numbers for many years, but
there ;tre now about 8,000 of them, and
they are known as the Negroes of the
Woods.
Their story is perhaps unique in the .
history of human migration. It is a
story of wild savages transported acros>
a wide sea to a new world, where they
regained control of their persons and ac
tivities and reproduced amid new sur
roundings the habitations and customs o(
their native country. Dim tradition
alone has faintly preserved the memory
of their fatherland, but none the less
have tiiey turned a bit of tropical Amer
ica into a semblance of the negro’s na
tive home. Jet black in color, progna
thous and thick lipped, they have pre
served the pure negro type, have shown
little aptitude for improvement, and are
very low in their social scale. Like
many an African missionary, who has
fruitlessly toiled his life away, the Mora- ;
vian brethren have labored for years
among the Negroes of the Woods with
little apparent result. In all essentials
they live today like those negroes of the
west coast of Africa, who have had con
siderable contact with the white races.
Their rectangular huts of wood and
thatch, built along the water courses,
are almost exact counterparts of those
that are found on the lower Congo and
among some tribes of the Ogowe rivt-r.
Like tbe great Pahouin tribe of the
French Congo, they divide their huts by
thin partitions into two compartments,
one of which they use for sleeping and
the other for culinary purposes. Lik-*
many African tribes they twist their
wool into little braids, wear arm and leg
ornaments of copper, brass and iron,
and adorn their necks with strings of
beads or the teeth of wild animals. Like
the equatorial African, they tattoo jlheir
bodies without the adjunct of color,
which is not uncommon among the In
dians, but is practiced in Africa by only
a few tribes, like the Pahouin. In their
villages they are generally naked, and
they wear cotton coverings only when
they visit the white settlements, where
their scant attire of ornaments and paint
would not be tolerated. They have
abandoned their native custom of sloen-
ing on the groimd for the Indian liaifi-
mock, which they weave out of libers.
White men rarely visit these Africans
of the forest, chiefly, perhaps, because
their streams, which, flowing to flip sea,
are the only highways into the interior,
are very difficult of ascent. The negroes
dislike to mingle with the whites, and
they never leave their savage homes ex
cept when the need of rum and ammuni
tion drives them to the settlements. Then
die lazy men, who usually engage in no
toil except fishing and the chase, cut
«lown a few trees, skillfully fashion the
trunks into canoes, and float them down
the oreeks and rivers to sell them at the
towns. Oftener still they make little
rafts of valuable varieties of timber, and
invest the proceeds in powder and hall,
♦cads and bad liquor. Tonka beads also
oke out their trade resources.
These four groups of blacks, like kin
dred tribes in Africa, are ruled by king
lets, and some of them take their names
from chiefs who led them in the ware tlie
Dutch long waged upon their escaped
slaves, only with the result of driving
them further into the woods. They live
chiefly upon vegetable food, which ths
women raise and prejiare. They make
no pottery, not being descended from

The process of dime making i3 an in-
; .‘resting one. The silver bullion is first
■ i el ted and run into two-pound bars.
These in turn are run through immense
; oilers and flattened ont to the thickness
f the coin. These silver strips are then
■c.ssed through a machine which cuts
:em into the proper sir.e for the presses,
:.:e strips first having been treated with
kind ftf tallow to prevent their being
n'ratched in their passage through the
•utters. The silver pieces are then put
into the feeders of tbe printing presses,
and are fed to the die by automatic ma
chinery at the rate of 100 per minute,
-18,000 dimes being turned out in a reg
ular working day of eight hours. As the
smooth pieces are passed between the
ponderous printing dies they receive the
lettered and figured impression in a man
ner similar to that of a paper pressed
upon a form of type: at the same time
the piece is expanded in a slight degree,
and the small corrugations are put into
its rim. The machine drops the com
pleted coin into a receiver, and it is
ready for the counter’s hands.
The instrument used by the counter is
not a complicated machine by any means,
as one might suppose. It is a simple
popper covered tray, having raised ridges
running across its smrface at a distance
apart the exact width of a dime. From
the receiver the money is dumped on to
this board or tray, and as it is shaken
rapidly by the counter the pieces settle
own into the spaces lietween the ridges.
Yll these spaces being filled, the surplus
coin is brushed back into the receiver,
and the counter has exactly 1,250 silver
limes, or $125, on this tray, which num-
i >er is required to fill the spaces. The
; ray is then emptied into boxes, and the
money is ready for shipment.
The dime does not pass through the
weigher’s hands, as does the coin of a
larger denomination. One and one-half
avains is allowed for variation or “toler
ance” in all silver coins from $1 down,
and the deviation from the standard in
i tlie case of the ten cent pieces is so tri-
iiing that the trouble and expense of
Weighing coins of this denomination is

Beverages of Venezuela.
Tlie beverages mostly in use in the
■ ities are French wine or imported Ger
man and American bottle beer. Owing
t > the heavy import duties imposed upon
every article, beer is very expensive. I
paid sometimes for a small bottle of Mil
waukee lager, Vienna Dreher or “Cum-
batsheer” (Kulmbaclier) six to .eight
reals, equal to as many dimes. The
lower class are very fond of aguardiente,
manufactured from sugar cane; carrato,
or hervido, a sort of fire water, manufac
tured from Indian corn or guarapo; but
these strong drinks are usually taken in
small quantities, and intoxicated persons
are rarely seen in Venezuela. .Fruit
waters and Naranjada are also drunk a
good deal, but the most popular drink
with many is “aqua de papelyn,” which
was first introduced to my knowledge on
t he coffee hacienda of the Austrian con
sul. He might tell a curious tale of its
: Cter effects, but I trust in his discretion.
“Aqua de papelon” is simply water,
mveetened with native sugar. In order
to promote the making of pure white
sugar the importation of this article into
, Venezuela is entirely forbidden, and the
sugar in general use is called papelon,
l<eing the product of cane, containing all
the syrup or molasses.— E. De Hesse

fact is especially noteworthy that these
Negroes of the Woods are more muscular
and vigorous, better formed and more
buoyant in spirit than their kindred, who
for generations have continued to toil on
the coast plantations. They are all of
the same origin, and they afford another
proof of the fact that man can far lietter
perj>etuate his best physical and mental
qualities in a state of savagism than under
conditions where he is simply condemned
to a hopeless life of unrequited drudgery.

Good heavens! how beautiful and bright
Is she for whom I sigh!
Love lurks within the liquid light
Of that dark dreaming eye.
Sweet airs of youth aruusd her breathe.
And flutter in her train;
Good heavens! how beautiful is she!
And I, bo old and plain!
Goo<f heavens'! how beautiful is shel
As fresh and fair as day;
Dark ox the night her shiny hair,
Her lip—a buii of May.
Tet all unconscious of her power.
Though hundreds sigh in vain:
Good heavens!'how beautiful is she!
And I, so old and plain!
Good heavens! how beautiful is shel
Can I her heart have won?
I, from whose cheerless destiny
All hope and joy had flown.
Before her soft eyes smiled on me,
Love seemed a vision vain:
Good heavens! how beautiful is she!
And I, so old and plain!

VERSES BY SIDNEY LANIER.
So one in heart and thought, I trow,
That thou miglit'st press the strings and I might
draw the bow, ,
And both -Would meet in musio sweet,
Thou and I, I trow.
I said to myself
Which is I, which you?
' Myself made answer to myself,
Lo, you are I and I am you.
Yet are we twain, we two.
I’ll sleep. I'll sleep, and dream a sweet death for
trouble;
I'll sleep. I'll sleep, and dream that my heart
beats double.
More than twice one, beyond all measure more,
Doth count this singular two of thee and me.
—The Century.
BROTHERHOOD.
Dear brother, let me hold thy hand.
And let me speak my heart to thee.
For all the beauty of the land.
And all the wonder of the sea,
Are hideous to my soul if I
Am doomed to dream alone and die.
Men are the feeble links that make
The strong, enduring chain of race;
Thus I am stronger for thy sake,
And for tlie sake of those who grace
My life and all my life has known
With something sweeter of their own.
—George Edgar Montgomery.
Outside of those kisses bestowed by
affectionate relatives, there can be but
three recognized classes of the genus
kiss—as viewed from a male standpoint.
The first comes upon your lips as if
they were touched by a smooth-planed,
cool and insensate board, without life
or animation—unproductive of any
agreeable sensation whatever, and not
worth being garnered with tlie heart’s
mementoes of golden happy hours.
The second is a gentle, velvety kiss,
very sweet and pleasant, but vex: -
tiously unsatisfying to an ardent na
ture, and but little more pronounced
than a fascinating cousin would likely
bestow. The third is such as coral,
tempting, passionate lips bestow, for
about ten seconds, upon your lips'—“a
lingering sweetness long drawn out”—
that not only steals your breath, but
seems to be drawing ycur very soul
from out of your body. A fellow may
forget his mother—and about the time
he is harvesting such a kiss lie is sure
to forget her—but the recollection of
that undwarfed', honest kiss will abide
with him a source of joy, and be com
mensurate with life itself.

The fact that Mrs. Cleveland ac
cepted art invitation to a private house
this week has caused a good deal of
comment, as it has not been the custom
of the President’s wife to do so. Mrs.
Grant used to visit her special freinds in
an informal way, but seldom accepted
invitations from others than the ladies
of the Cabinet. Mrs. Hayes went out
once or twice. Mrs. McElroy did not
regard the rule as binding upon her, as
she was not the. wife of a President and
was only the temporary mistress of the
White House. Until now Mrs. Cleve-
i land had adhered strictly to the rule not
| to go outside of the Cabinet circle in
I social gatherings, and it is said that
! the exception she made this week by
i attending the “musicale”given by the
Misses Markoe was only for the pleas
ure of the young ladies visiting her.

From many observations on healthy
men, Dr. Theodoroff. of St. Petersburg,
learns that the vital capaeity of the lungs
increases from morning till evening, de
creasing again during the night. After
each meal. too. there is a special increase,
followed by a slight decrease: the vital
capacity being at its highest shortly after
dinner, and at its lowest after getting up
in the morning. The force of inspiration
and expiration follows nearly the same
law. — Arkansaw Traveler.,
