The prsttisst and most picturesque OF
the native costumes 10 b found In
Spanish America, 10 worn BY the
women Of Guatemala, who are Of .
dark complexion; nearly that Of mu.
latto type. but arc famous for their
beauty ofform. A Guatemala girl In
her native dress makes as pretty pict-
urs a. one can find anywhere. Her face
Ia bright and pretty, her figure as per-
feet a. nature unaided by art can be,
and her movements show supple grace
and elasticity that can not be Initiated
by those OF her sex who are encountered
by modern articles Of feminine apparel.
Her head Ia usually bare. indoors and
out, and her thick black tresses
hang In braids. often reaching
to her heels. Her garments are
only two. "guipil" and "sa.
bana." The first is square piece OF
cotton OF coarse texture, covered with
embroidery of brilliant colors and sim.
pie but artistic designs. In the center
OF the "guipil" Is an aperture like that
In the ordinary poncho, through which
her head goes, and 1t Is usually wide
enough to constitute when worn a low.
neck waist The ends are tucked In her
skirt at the belt. Her bare arms come
through the open folds OF her "guipil."
and when she raises them her side Is ex.
posed. Hor skirt is n straight piece OF
plaid cotton OF brilliant colors, like the
Scotch plaids. and is wound tightly
around her limbs. II Is secured at the
waist by sash. usually Of scarlet. woven
by her own hands OF the iibcrs Of the pita
grass, and executed in the most skillful
manner. These belts in their texture
resemble the Persian camel s.hair shawl,
and often cost months Of labor. Very
often the name OF the owner and some.
times notices are woven into the tex.
turc. and they are brought away from
the country AZ curi0sities by travellers
This costume is worn only by the peas
ants. Every article the Guatemala girl
wears she makes with her own hands,
and the natives Of that country are the
most ingenious and intelligent to be-
found in Spanish.America. The upper
classes dress just as they would IN New

A Mate rslis How the Vessel lie sailed In
Escaprd Desti action.
While . British brig was gliding
smoothly along before good breeze in
the South Pacific, some months ago, n
flock Of small birds about the size. shape
and color Of parokects settled down in
the rigging and passed an hour or more
resting. The second mate was so anx.
ious to find out the species to which the
visiting strangers belonged that he tried
TO enirap specimen, but the birds were
too shy to he thus caught. and too spry
to be seized by the quick hands OF the
sailors. At the end Of about an hour
the birds took the briggs course, and dis
appeared. but toward nightfall they
came back and passed the night in the
maintop. The next morning the birds
flew of again. and when they returned
nj noon, the sailors scattered some food
about the decks. BY this time she birds
had become so tame that they hoped
about the decks picking up the crumbs.
That afternoon an astonishing thing
happened. The flock came flying swiftly
toward the brig. Every bird seemed to
be piping rs II pursued by some little
invisible enemy on wings, and they nj
once huddlcd down behind deck.house.
The superstitious sailors at once called
the Captain of the brig. who rubbed his
eyes and looked at the barometer. a
glance showed him that something WIS
wrong with the elements. and the brig
was put In shape to Outridc n storm.
The storm came about twenty minutes
after the birds had reached the vessel
For few moments the sky was like the
waterless bottom OF lake-a vast arch
OF yellowish mud and torrents OF rain
fell. Why it did not blow very hard. no
one knows; but on reaching port. two
days later, the Captain learned that n
great tornado had swept across that part
OF the sea. The birds left the vessel on
the morning after the storm, and were
not seen again. MY idea is" said the
second mate. in telling Of the curious in.
cident afterward-."my notion about II
Is that IL the birds hadn't been aboard,
We should have been blown away like
q feather. The birds protected us. sir
that's what's the matter!" And the su.
perstitious seaman was honest in his be.
lief, for he barred his arm and showed
where he had caused pictura OF one OF
the birds TO be tattooed into the surface

ROOT CROPS.
Their Value rs Food for Horses, Cattle
and sheep.

Their value as Food for Horses, Cattle
and sheep.
During the past few years considera.
bic interest has been shown In some
parts Of the West in raising root crops
to feed to farm animals. A variety Of
causes have prevented much attention
being paid to them till recently. In
many places there was more grass than
the animals could eat. Most OF the ter
ritory occupied by settlers had soil
and climate well adapted to the pro-
duction Of Indian corn. The climate
Of those regions was not well adapted
to the production Of turnips, which are
moro generally raised In Great Britain
for stock purposes than any other veg
etable. The seasons generally were
too dry and hot to admit Of their max
ing good growth. The yield was
often small, and the roots were likely
to be hard and tough. But small
number Of laborers are kept on most
Western farms, and as rule 1t has
been difficult to obtain help to plant,
weed and thin root crops. The winters
In parts Of the West north Of the great
'corn belt" are severe. and the difficult
ties in preserving roots to feed during
cold weather somewhat great. Large
cellars are scarce, and the majority OF
farmers do not know how to preserve
roots In pits. Besides, our agricultural
chemists, who claim that tho feeding
value Of every kind of food can be de-
termined by analysis, have placed roots
among the poorest kinds Of stock food.
Various reasons, however, have re-
Gently caused farmers to look favorably
on the production Of roots. A large
amount of land north Of the region
where corn can be proiitably raised
has been settled. Cattle, horses and
sheep have increased in numbers till
In many places feed is comparatively
scarce. The seasons have been moro
favorable to tho production Of roots,
being comparatively cool and moist.
Those who have planted beets and
turnips for stock food have generally
raised largo crops. Tho roots raised
have been Of good quality. Drills for
sowing tho seed and cultivators for
working the soil between the rows
have been improved. A number OF
machines have been brought out for
cutting and pulping roots before they
arc fed to animals. Tho keepers Of
fancy horses In towns are buying large
quantities Of carrots to feed to them.
Some Of our best breeders Of fine cattle
have become convinced that roots are
very valuable, and that they seem to
keep animals In good condition.-St.
