Uses of the Cactus.

All Of the varieties Of cacti bear
fruit, which is valued by the Indians
for food, says an Arizona letter. They
also cook the heshy leaves Of the priclzly
pear when young, which are said to
resemble string beans in favor. The
Indians also use the head Of the
maguey, or century plant, for food. 1t
is found everywhere in the Territory.
and is cultivated for revenue in Mexico.
1t contains an amount of saceharine
matter. The century hypothesis in re-
gard to its bloomingis is myth, however,
long since exploded. Instead Of re-
quiring 100 years to attain maturity
and blossom, the plant blossoms in
seven years from making it's first ap-
pearance. 1t then dies, its mission
ended. The leaves, which are heshy
and stiff, with thin edges covered with
thorns, branch from the root in long
lances, growing to the height of three
or four feet. The center of the plant
consists of a large head, something
like cabbage. From this springs a
pole eight to twelve feet high, which
branches near the top, bearing aYellow
flower. The Indians prepare the head
for food by roasting in an oven made
Of stones sunk in the ground We
had an opportunity to taste piece Of
the maguey so prepared, and found it
delicious, sweet and nutritious, tasting
very much like old-fashioned home
made molasses candy. If that was
specimen morsel the Indians deserve
no sympathy on the score Of their
diet, as it was really a luxury.
The juice Of the plant i also con
verted into syrup and a fermented
drink, called tizwin by the Indians, and
the Mexicans distil it. making an in
toxicating liquor called mescal- We
also tested this liquor burnt, en- an
omelet, and found it as good as brandy
for that purpose. In its natural state.
unburnt, it has a strong, smoky taste,
resembling Scotch whisky. Many use
full articles are made from the fiber Of
the maguey, ropes and even paper hay
ing been manufactured from it.

The Diamond Field.

A large proportion of the diamonds
which have constituted the stock of
trade since 1870 have come from South
Africa. Brazil and Ceylon supply
limited quantities Of extremely fine
stones. The South African yield is
not confined, according to general i'm
preston, to medium and low grades.
The product of the Kimberly mines.
which occupy one and quarter square
miles, with those of neighboring
mines, are worked by a number of
companies with an aggregate capital
Of S32, 100000, controlled by London,

buyers are on the spot, and whose
prices at times greatly differ They
are always ready to make advances

to place goods on the market whic
they have not succeeded in buying up.
securing themselves by a broad mar
gin on the sums advanced. Fine
qualities of diamonds, those which are
not Off color and in other respects all
hut perfect, are getting scarcer, par
ticularly blue white. The preference
Of the wealthy in Europe for fancy
stones-such as rubies, sapphires, EN-
eralds, cats'-eyes- give signs Of being
followed in this country.

the Indians have novel method Of
catching wh;tefsh. The Indians 60

cupies the bow the other the stern.
The latter uses a paddle to keep the

water boils and tumblss furiously.
With his pole the Indian n the bow

sidewise, now up little. perhaps, and
then down, but always under perfect
control. The Indian gazes constantly
in the water, which is often t 10 feet
deep where they are fishing, and the
depths Of which no white man was
ever yet able to school his eye to pene-
trate. Suddenly he seizes the net ty
the handle with one hand, still manip-
ulating the boat with the other, AMI
plunges the net into the water, per-
haps ten feet away, thrusting it to the
bottom. Then he gives it peculiar
twist. draws it up, and turns ont into

Anecdnte Of nuean Victnria-

Gossips say that Queen Victoria is
growing morose, and that many of her
subjects have lost their enthusiastic
regard for her, and others are inclined
to manifest toward her feeling Of in
difference. "If the master is morose,"
says the proverb "little wonder that
the servant is sullen." 1t is possible
that the gossips may bring a true re
port, for the queen belongs to family
whose members have not been marked
in old age for cheeriness of disposition.
In the days, however, when he was
alive whom she calls, in her Highland
diary. "my inestimable husband and
friend, my all in ALL the queen was Of
kindly and simple character. An
anecdote illustrates this:
Mr.. W, a picture-lover. was anx
ious to see the great paintings in the
apartments Of Buckingham palace.
His brother, a London carpet-merchant,
was ordered to put down new carpets
in the state apartments of the palace.

entered the palace while the royal fam.
lily was residing in it.
Once in, he dropped his assumed
character and devoted himself to the
pictures. While he was alone in one
Of the rooms the queen came tripping
in, wearing a pain white mcrning
dress. Two or three Of her younger
children accompanied Eer.

to the supposed workman, "when the
new carpet will be put down in the
privy council ehamber?"
w, thinking he had no right to
recognize the queen under the circum-
stances, answered: Really, madame.
I cannot tell, but | win inquire
~stay Y she said, kinlly but
abruptly; awho are You? I perceive
that you are not one Of the work
men,"
Blushing and stammering, he con
fessed who he was, and the motive
which had led him to sumo work
mans dress.
The queen, appaased by his love OF
art. said, with smile: Il knew for
all your dress that you we're gentle
man, because you did not your
