Among the valuable products of the
soil now largely suffered to go to waste,
according to the United States consul at
San Salvador, is the fiber of the banana.
This fiber, which may be divided into
threads of silken f~lneness, extends the
length of the body. of the tree, which
grows without a branch from ten to
fifteen high, and las n circumfer-
ence at the base Of two and a half to
three feet, In Central America the fiber,
with no preparation except drying, Is
used for shoe strings, lariats and cords
for all purposes.
In its twelve months of existence the
banana tree bears only one bunch of
fruit, but from two to four or ten trees
spring from the roots of the one that
has fallen. At home the bunch OF
bananas is worth fifteen cents and tho
dead tree nothing, though, if the supply
were not ~inexhaustible, the latter would
be worth ten times the value of the fruit
to n cordage factory, paper mill or coffee
sack maker. The banana leaf, with
stems Of the toughest and finest threads,
is from two and a half to three feet wide
II ten to fifteen feet long, and serves
the native women of San Salvador as an
umbrella in the rainy season, a carpet on
which to sit and a bed on which to rest.

Put to Flight.

DENVER, Aug. pa Trinidad special
to the Republican says: The wal on the
Maxwell grant is over for the present, the
six deputies who were imprisoned in the
hotel having made their escape last night
as o as darkness set in. The officers
got In about 4 o'clock completely worn
out, and report a most thrilling days ex-
perience. All day long the mob kept the
house surrounded, pouring volley after
into the house, until there is hardly six
inches square hat is not perforated with
bullet holes.
The trouble started in this way: As
soon as the deputies arrived at the hotel
on yesterday morning they were visited
by a committee of the settlers, who told
them that they must at once leave, first
giving up their arms. They were told by
the officers that they were not there to
provoke any trouble but to keep the
peace, if possible, and that they did not
propose to leave or give up their arms.
They were in the hotel when the answer
IA given, and it was followed by a volley
from the crowd that had assembled.
The officers returned the fire when
Squire Russell fell who, by the way, is
not dead, but very seriously wounded.
Then the war began and the firing was
kept up at intervals during the day. The
officers tried to make terms, but the mob
hooted at the proposition.
As soon as night set in the armed set
tiers built a large fire opposite the house,
and it was while the majority were en-
gagged IN this that the officers escaped out
of the back door.
The settlers kept guard all night and
it was s O'Clock this morning before it
was discovered that the men had flown.
d. ID. Finch and r. L. Wootton, two of
our citizens, went up last night in the
capacity Of peacemakers. and succeeded
somewhat in ~allaying the excitement.
The sheriffs officers have all withdrawn
from the field and there will be quiet for
a time at least, although it is not thought
that the trouble is over.
Although the officers were in the hotel
all day and volley after volley was fred
at them, only one was wounded. John
Moss at the first round had the thumb of
his right hand shot away.
As to the number of the settlers hurt it
is hard to determine. However, in addi-
ton to Mr.. Russell, several others were
wounded and one Mexican killed. The
excitement throughout the city is very
great, the settlers having many sympa-
thizers, but their course IN resorting to
arms is condemned by the sensible portion
OF the community.
The armed settlers who surrounded the
hotel seemed to be under the leadership
OF o. p. McManus, who is acknowledged
as a crank, and who had for years been
urging the settlers to arm and resist. If
he could be subdued it is thought that the
difficulties could be arranged.
Many of the settlers on the grant at
Stonewall have settled with the Maxwell
people and are contented, while others
seem determined to resist to the bitter
end.

When the systematic study of Indian
photographs was begun by the bureau of
%ethnology years ago, it vas supposed by
those who collected the materials that
the carvings on rocks and wood, on
banks and skins, when they were inter
preted, would tell something of the his
tory of the people who made them, as
the hieroglyphics of the east have en-
abled modern scholars to construct the
history of ancient dynasties and empires.
This expectation has been disappointed.
The Indian photographs are either
NEUROLOGICAL, or, if they relate to events,
it is to incidents in the lives of indi-
viduals who are not identified, such as
his hunts, the number of scalps he took
in battle, etc, or to such events in the
history of the tribes as the great religious
festivals. They throw no direct light
upon the origin, age, or migrations Of
the tribes that made the photographs.
Indirectly, by the comparative study of
the characters made by different tribes,
the relations of those tribes may be de
termined. 1t is by this comparative
study that the Indian Photographs are
likely to prove most valuable to science.

Just az Ridiculous.

We laugh at the immense hoops, the
small bonnets and punched waists Of
thirty years ago, ind yet our present
fashions will appear quite IS ridiculous to
our grandchildren. Regarded from q dis
passionate point of view, could anything
be more absurd than the women of the
day with their immense bustles, like the
humps on the backs Of dromedaries, ris-
Ing abruptly from waists like those Of
attenuated wasps, and shoulders dis
torted by the compression of the corsetP
Ridicule Is Of no avail, appeals to common
sense are Just as useless, and unless the
woman of the future Is a very different
being from the woman Of the past and
present, hideous, uncomfortable and In
furious fashions will reign with Just as
despotic sway as they haye ever done.
We are so swathed In the garments of
convsntionality that our forms, com
pressed and distorted out of all semblapce
OF symmetry, appear to us as beautiful as
the free and natural limbs of the Greeks
of old. Each woman should be independ-
emit enough to assert her own individ-
ualty, and attire herself In garments that
are at the same time graceful mt becom-
Ing. When the G of reason In dress has
been attained, then, indeed, will women
bask in the sunlight of the golden age of
comfort, beauty and health. and revel in
the delight of limbs unfettered with
heavy, clinging draperies and forms I'M
compressed by stiff, upgainly stays.-A. de

Michigan,s Forest Fires.

NEGAUNEE, Mich Aug. 27.-It is diff.
ficult to get reports about the forest fires
near Nevada, and it is believed to be
worse than at first reported. Several
buildings were burned last night and the
village is going by piecemeal. Families
living on farms near the village escaped
with nothing but their clothes and are
now being cared for at Powers. Owing
to the flames and smoke it Is impossible
to tell whether the people living farther
back from the settlement lost their lives
or not. A family of seven is reported
missing, not having been heard from.
