OPENING THE PACKAGE.

The practice was to check in the
messengers loose money and pack
ages first, and afterwards check the
sealed safes. Having got through
with the messenger he proceeded to
give his attention to the sealed safe
by first examining the seal, which APP
peared TO be all right; then he jerked
it to see if the wire was unbroken,
then unlocking the safe he pulls the
safe open, breaking the wire and lay
the contents bare. 1t is the rule in
putting up q sealed safe to have all
small packages of money tied up in a
bag, and the way-bills are put up in
the same way with two slips of paper
on which all way bills are registered
money way-bills on one and valuable
package way-bills on the other. The
slips were checked first to see if the
right number of way-bills were there,
then the small money packages were
checked. The bulky money pack
ages were loose in the safe with the
valuable packages. As Wilson check
ed down the money way-bill before
him, he saw entered a package OF
$4,000. Thinking it must be o
large one he turned to and looked in
the safe. Not seeing anything that
looked like a package of money, he
stepped back, and looking up met the
gaze of Jackman, who, attracted by
Wilson's stepping back, had just
looked up from his work. "What
are you looking for, joint" said he.
Nothing much; only q $4,000
package and, if it is one of those large
ones, from the looks of the safe, / dc
not think it is in there; if n small
one, it should have been 10 the bag

4 FEASIBLE PLAN.

Senator Fairs proposed plan of treat
ment for the Apaches is not altogether
new, being no more an original suggestion
than was Fremont's project for turning
the Colorado desert OF California into an
inland sea. Fifteen years ago the con-
version OF one of the larger Santa Bar
bara islands into a permanent cantonment
for all Indians who should manifest the
slightest symptom of hostility, was widely
advocated by leading journals of the
Pacific coast, but without special reference
to Santa Catalina. In fact, San Clemente
seemed TO offer greater advantages at that
time, as the other large island was the
property of a syndicate which was then
%endeavoring to place stock on the London
market. There can be no doubt that the
settlement of all the Apache tribes in
such an isolated situation and their main
tenance there, even at watering-place
rates, would prove a great saving from
an economical point Of view, not to think
of the immunity thereby secured to the
long vexed and always exposed frontier,
but a startling difficulty arises in the very
statement Of the theorem. First catch
your Apache. Afterwards, next TO the
happy hunting grounds, the very best
place for him would be the islands of the
California coast. 1t is true, they are ut
terly barren and wholly destitute Of water,
though not much worse than Arizona in
either respect. The whole group has
been found useless for any other
purpose than that Of pasturage for sheep
and goats, except that Santa Catalina has
been made the object of visionary projects
by enterprising Spectators in fictitious
mines. 1t is this fact, coupled with the
extraordinary valuation placed upon the
land, which would leave the senator S pro-
ject open to suspicion of being a put up
job" were such design not wholly foreign
to the spirit of Nevada craftsmanship.
There will be plenty of time to i%nvesti-
gate before the first lot of savages is ready
for shipment. Then the island or some
other, for there arc half a dozen suitable
for the purpose, can be purchased and
colonized. There, uncontaminated by
contact with rude and ruthless whites
the noble rcd man might be left to develop
his heightened instincts and become a joy
forever to eastern philanthropy.

Walk Through New York's "Chinntown."
1t is an unpleasant tly interesting ex-
p%erience to walk through chinatown" in
New York, on a tour of investigation.
There are TO be seen not only the evil
dences of squalor and meager living, but
various forms Of gambling, idolatry and
mummery. The ~Joss-house" is an insti-
tuition among them. In one of the mis-
cradle dens in the rear of IA and 10 Mott
street, lives a wretched rag-picker named
All Yet. He pays no rent, but appropri-
ates a hole under the house, which was
previously used as a coal cellar. The
place is little more than six feet square,
and in the midst of his dirty pile of rags
this miserable creature continues to ex-
list. His only furniture is an old packing
box, used as a table, and a few cooking
utensils.
His cook stove is the same as usually
used by ~impecunious Chinamen-a coal
oil car cut in half, nearly filled with
ashes, fitted with two iron rods across
the top. The fire built upon the ashes
warns a tomato can resting upon the
rods, completing the simple but effectiv
outfit. A cracked bowl comprises the
entire cookery service. But All Yet is
only one Of many whose lives are a sim
liar existence, and whose food is chiefly
rice and bits of u~nwholesome kinds of
meats. Whether New York Cinnamon
eat rats the writer is unable to say. The
use Of a stove pipe is beyond the ken of
most Cinnamon. They make their fires
in open braziers, allowing the smoke to
curl up to the ceiling and escape by the
window, If the room is so fortunate as to
have one.-Philadelphia Call.

1t is one Of the rarest plants in exist

O~uvirandra, or more significantly TO the
average lay mind as the lattice or lace
leafed plant. 1t is a genus Of aquatic
plants, native of Madagascar and not
found In any other portion of the globe.
The appearance Of the leaf resembles a
bit OF open lattice or lace work and
seemingly consists Of only a skeleton of
delicate nerve ibres. The leaves grow
in a radiating cluster and loaf just be-
low the surface of the water, presenting
their flat sides TO the light.
The plant. besides being curl

to the natives Of Madagascar, who
collect its fleshy, farinacious roots and
utilize them as articles Of food, and very
good they are said to be, although the
experiment could only be tried by a

plant in this portion Of the globe is
worth considerably moro than its weight

Chinese imagination has run riot in do

place and precedence are settled by

the ink deity, and he ranks higher than
the Guardian Spirit of the Pencil;r
