INDIA RUBBER TREES.
How South Americans Kill the Goose TIL
Laws the Golden Egg.

How South Americans Kill the Goose That
Lays the Golden Egg.
We now come into forest of rubber
trees, which can be detected without
the eye of an expert, for they are all
SCARED and dying rapidly from the
hunters machete. The rubber hunter
reminds me of the boy who "killed the
goose that layed the golden egg" Each
tree can afford to loose a certain
amount of juice per year and still live.
When one of these fellows, however,
makes discovery, only few months
suffie to place his bonanza in the ranks
of the many that have gone before.
The consequence is one may traverse
these immense forests from end to end
and never meet o virgin tree. The
ordinary specimen of Nicaragua is
from fifty to one hundred feet
high, averaging about two feet
in diameter The bark is white and
the leaves oval, with a slight inclina-
ton downward. The cuts are made
about two feet apart and extend from
the ground TO the first branch, chan
nels being scored in the side to lead the
juice into bag, held at the bottom.
The average yield of large tree is
from five to seven gallons of a milky
fluid. This is placed in an open YES
sci and mixed in small proportions
with the juice of a plant found near
the rubber tree called the wisth, which
hastens congelation. After this opera
ton is complete the product is baled
up and shipped north, to be refined
and further prepared for commerce.
Another tree very similar to the rub
Der, and often mistaken for it, is the
COW tree. This yields a liquid very
much like milk in color, consistency
and taste. - Nicaragua Cor. N. Y.

On the Border.

Ell PAso, Texas, Sept. 19.-Sunday
was a notable day in the history of
Paso del Norte, the Mexican town
opposite Ell Paso. Besides the cele-
bration of the 18th anniversary of
Mexican independence, the day was
made memorable by the unwilling of
monument and bust of the great
patriot, President Benito Juarez, who
removed the seat of government to
Paso del Norte in 1865, during Maxi
milian's brief career as emperor of
Mexico.
The bust was presented to the mu-
nicipality by President Diaz. More
over, Paso del Norte is raised to the
rank of a city from this date, and its
name is changed from Paso del
Norte to the city of Juarez. The
city was thronged with people.
While profuse decorations, illumi-
nations, and grand military dis.
play were the chief features of the
programme, which closed last night
with great public dance. Juarez,
as the city will henceforth be called
is enjoying the marked favor of the
national government, and is rapidly
passing from an adobe village to
well-built modern city.

Facts Worth Remembering.

There is no virtue in promise I'M

Many weaknesses of human nature
are distorted virtues.
The wisest fellows we think are
those who agree with us.
Contentment does not demand con.
ditions, it makes them.
Whistling doesn't make the locomo-
tive 60, it is the silent steam.
Now is always the best time if we
will always make it so.
To be really yourself you must be
different from those around you.
The ups and downs of life are
better than being down all the time.
A little knowledge wisely used is
better than all knowledge disused.
Excessive labor is wrong, but judi
cious labor is the safety-valve of life.
Man may growl, grumble and fight,
but it has no effect upon natural
right.
Falsehood can make the best squirt,
but truth can do the steadiest trot-
ting.
Fashion is only gold-front jewelry,
it may appear well, but the value is
not there.
SANDER is slime which envious
people throw on others better than
themselves.
knowledge, like money, increases
our responsibility in proportion to the
amount obtained.
The lightning is vivid against 6
dark cloud, so the bravest live:
sometimes are amid trials.
Flags, brass bands and fire works
may influence weak minds, but they
are not real arguments.
The nearer we get to the ocean thu
grander and greater it appears! Thu

Don't depend on borrowed idea

REGRET

When doomed to feel that youth is DER
hatspring aud summer beth have fed
That we can wake to life no more
The buds and blossoms that are dead,
That evermore the years will steal
Some brightness as they hurry on,
And with the past we know and feel
The glory of our life is gone.
And still the skies are just as blue.
The golden sun as warm and bright,
The stars shine on with radianthue
And sparkle in the crown of night;
And beauty'S cheek is still as fair,
The songs of birds as sweet at morn,
The flowers bloom, and in the air
The fragrance of the spring is born.
But oh, to think, of all the past,
How much of good there was to CLEAN,
How little came to us at last,
And yet, and yet, 1t might have been.
