PRIMITIVE SUGAR-MAKING.
Observations Made by an American Lady
on q Mexican Hacienda.

Observations Made by an American Lady
on a Mexican Hacienda.
Not long ago a rather noted local
magnate, Judge Yemael Gomez, invited
US out to view his sugar hacienda-an
extensive tract of land lying along both
sides of beautiful river, but little of
it being under cultivation. wish you
could see the family carriage" that
came for us-an antique ark, with no
suspicion of springs. and small, square
aperture high up above the wheels for
a door. through which one must crawl
head foremost or feet foremost, in as
cent or descent, in either case necessi-
tating an embarrassing display of no.
siery. The sugar factory" was rus
tic screen of dried grass supported by
four poles standing in the open field
and worked by one decrepit mule and
tended by boy, who, besides our
selves. was the only human being with
in sight or hearing. The cane-stalks
serve double purpose, for. after hay
ing been squeezed dry (by donkey pow
er) in the little mill, they are used for
fuel with which to boil their own blood,
SO to speak. The sap runs by rude
trough from the mill into tin vat,
under which is the mud oven dignifed
by the name of furnace. When suffi-
GENTLY cooked the syrup is cooled
and nodded in tiny earthen pots,
precisely like the smallest size we use
for plants, only trife deeper. Each
little cake is then repeatedly wrapped
in dried leaves of the cane and is ready
for shipping. The skimmings of the
boiling sap are utilized for making
popular beverage that at first resembles
sweet cider, and is called aqua miet
(honey water,) or maiel de cana; but by
fermentation it dey elopes into the most
vicious kind of ''6re-water. Phonetic,
as the syrup of Mexican cane is called,
is by no means as pleasant to the taste
as our maple, nor even as Chinese
sorghum; but as the demand for it
greatly exceeds the supply in this lazy
country its culture is profitable. All
Mexicans, male and female, patrician
or parvenue, possess sugar TOOTH"
and I have never heard of one who had
an appetite for any thing sour, though
all are exceedingly fond of peppery
condiments. Therefore pickles, etc,
are things unknown, and piloncillo is in
great demand, principally for pouring
over the stewed frejo1es (beans,) which
form the last course before dessert OF
every meal.-Fdnnie B. Ward, IN Ass'

MOUNT PoeocATEPETI.
Icicles Made Sour by the Old Volcanoes
Sulphuric Acid Excrements.

Icicles Made Sour by the Old Volcanoes
Sulphuric Acid Excrements.
The chief interest that attaches to
''the smoking mountain" Popocatepetl
is not simply that it is the largest Of
the six great Mexican craters, nor that
it is 1880 feet high-1,SO0 feet higher
than Mont Blanc-but because 1t is "a
high mountains go, reasonably easy of
ascent, and will repay ascending with
an exceedingly interesting experience,
To the height of about $4,000 feet it is
covered with dense forest, and about
a hundred feet further is the mean
lower limit of perpetual snow. High
up toward the snow-line is settle
ment of Indian guides and purifiers of
sulphur that is brought down from the
crater. The journey through the snow
is made without danger by the help Of
these guides. With eyes protected
against blindness, almost GER
tainly through storm, with the odor
of sulphur becoming stronger as the
edge of the crater is approached, the
traveller makes the beginning of his
interesting experience. When the
abrupt edge of the snow mantle is
reached at the volcanoes mouth. he
discovers that the snow he has waded
through is from three to five feet deep.
The descent into the crater can be
begun on foot, for its sides do not be-
come perpendicular until long sue
cession of vertical layers of lava have
been crossed, each one lower than the
last. These passed, the descent must
be continued by a capstan. The dis
lance to the bottom on the side of the
least depth is yet $50 feet. There is a
place where its depth is not less than
1000 feet; and at its mouth 1t
is three miles in circumference.
The chief danger to which one
is exposed is of being struck by falling
stones, which are released at the mouth
OF the crater by the action of the frost.
Not less than ten stones an hour fall.
The filling up of the crater by all sorts
of falling matter is estimated to con-
tinue at the rare of three-quarters of q
foot a year. The bottom is covered
with snow, except in the vicinity of the
''chimueys." from which continually

In escaping it makes noise like the
roar of the wind. The largest of these
chimneys is thirty feet in diameter,
though it is nearly filled with stones,
between which the vapor now has to
effect its escape. These stones are en-
crusted with sulphur, by which many
OF them have Geen so decomposed
that parts of them may be crushed be-
tween the fingers.
When cloud rests over the mouth
OF the crater the optical effect pro-
duced by the cloud and the yapor Ia
worth making the ascent of the
mountain and the descent of the crater
to see. Every light object is tinged with
red; snow seems pink. linen becomes
rose-colored, and gold takes the color of
copper. The gathering of sulphur from
the sands and stones near the chimneys
of the crater is employment for a num-
Der of Indians, who often remain in
this sulphurous depth weeks and
months at a time, and may almost be
said to make their homes there. The
sulphuric acid does not make life pleas
ant, for even the icicles have a sour
taste.-Hdrper's Heekly,

The Antiquity of Massage.

From ire court Journal.
At the recent festive gathering Of the club
called "Odd Volumes,r one of the members
gave q curious account of massage as mode
Of treatment. 1t is certainly very popular at
the present moment, and people want TO hear
something clear aud definite about it. The
gentleman assured his listeners that there WAS
reason to think that massage had been known
to the Chi GeSe from time immemorial, and 1t
was stated that the process was FUZZY described
which was 5000 B. G. The word itself was
derived, according to some authorities, from
the Greek" messeln," to rub: while Others re-
ferred 1t to the Arabic word ''mass," to press
softly. In primitive form it was known
both to the Greeks and the Isomqns, who re-
sorted to it after the bath. custom which
prevails among the OrIentals to the present
day. After the struggles of the circus it WAS
employed to dls5ipate the resulting contusIons
and eXtravasatlons, and to restore pllabllity
to the bruised and stiffened Joints.
Among the Sandwich Islanders 1t was free
quently practiced under the name OF ''lOmi-
.Oml,' and the process was fully described in
the works of Emerson and Nordhoh. Tins,
however, was crude and primitive form,
having very little in common with the elabO-
rate scientific system now resorted to in this
country. There was reason to think thai the
true massage was used in France in the early
part OF this century, an opinion which was to
some extent confirmed by the fact that all the
terms employed to designate the various
branches of the art were French in origin
An impetus was given to the study of the sub
