How little railways depend upon
their end-to.end business, and how
much more important is their local

a glance at the earnings of the Union

across continent freights, but out of
its gross earnings of thirty million
dollars only three million dollars are
derived from its through business.
Its traffic has been substantially

INDII-RUBBER GATHERING

When the hunter has found rubber
tree, he first clears away space from
the roots, and then moves on in search
of others, returning to commence opera
tons as soon as he has marked all the
trees in the vicinity. He first of all digs
hole in the ground hard by, and then
cuts in the tree V-shaped incision,
with machete, as high as he can reach.
The milk is caught as it exudes and
flows into the hole. AS soon as the flow
from the cuts has ceased the tree is cut
down, and the trunk raised from the
ground by means of an improvised
trestle. After placing large leaves to
catch the sap, gashes are cut throughout
the entire length, and the milk carefully
collected. When it first exudes the sap
is of the whiteness and consistence of
cream, but it turns black on exposure
to the air. When the hole is filled with
rubber, it is coagulated by adding bard
soap or the root of the mechvacan.
which have most rapid action, and
prevent the escape of the water that is
always present in the fresh sap. When
coagulated sufficiently, the rubber is
carried on the backs of the hunters by
bark thongs to the banks of the river
and foated down on RATS. The annual
destruction of rubber trees in Columbia
is very great, and the industry must
soon disappear altogether, unless the
Government puts in force a law that
already exists, which conpels the hunt
ers to tap the trees without cutting them
down. IF this law were strictly carried
out there would be good opening for
commercial enterprise, for rubber trees
will grow from eight to ten inches in
diameter in three or four years from
seed. The trees require but little at
tention, and begin to yield returns soon
er than any other. Those that yield
the greatest amount of rubber flourish
on the banks of the Simu and Aslate
rivers. The value of the crude India
rubber imported into the States annual
ly is about $40, 100000

but far more, we wish to abolish the
hideous distortions caused by tight
clothing on the body, and as long as the
world persists in thinking that the fe-

obliged to twist and distort the upper

TOO SHARP FOR THE CORPORATIONS

TOO SHARP FOR THE CORPORATIONS.
A sly timber merchant of Odessa got
the best of a couple of Russian railway
companies little while ago. He made
a contract with them for the delivery of
large quantity of timber within a CIV
en- time, and deposited 10, 900 roubles as
security to carry out his agreement, upon
the understanding that the companies
would convey the merchandise gratis.
Train load upon train load reached the
city stations, the companies successfully
declining the timber as not being equal
to what was contracted for. Fresh Or
ders were sent out by the merchant to
his agents for better quality, and more
train loads brought more timber of an
Objectionable description which the willy
trader invariably disposed of to local

sT0RY OF JACKSON IND BENTON
One evening at the White House the
conversation drifted to Benton, and Mr..
Lincoln said that the very room we were
sitting in had been the scene of most
characteristic adventure of Benton's with
President jackson. When Benton came
to Missouri he was at feud with jack
son in fact, he and his brother and
jackson and several others had diff
Guilty at Nashville, in which Jesse Ben
ton was killed, and which was the cause
of Benton coming to Missouri. They
had not met for years, until jackson
was President and Benton Senator from
Missouri. "It was in this room" said
President Lincoln, "that their first
meeting took place. Jackson was seated
at this very table when the door yonder
swung open and Benton stalked in and
stood silently in the middle of the floor.
Jackson looked up and recognized him
at once, and recollected at the same time
that he had no weapon to defend him.
self. Equally silently he got up, walked
to the door, locked it and put the key
in his pocket, and went back to his seat.
Then he SAID, Does this mean war or
peace ?"
1t means peace, said Benton.
jackson again arose, walked to the
door, unlocked it, came back to his seat,
and then said, "Col. Benton, I am
pleased to see you. Take chair"
All this time Benton was standing
statuesquely in the center of the room,
never moving a muscle while Jackson
was locking and unlocking the door, and
the reconciliation between the two gen.
tlemen was complete. 1t simply showed
the dramatic character of the man. =
