REWARDS OF ARSON.

Why the Natives Of Guatemala Encourage
the Burning Of Houses.
It is town regulation that, when
ever q mans house burns down, the
whole population must turn out and
help him rebuild it, and for many
years this ordinance was conscientious
" observed. but with the increase of
knowledge and the fruitfulness Of quiet
thought an Indian might regard his
house as in poor condition. or not fit
for him to live in, so he would commit
arson and force his tOwnsmen to build
him a new house to replace the old
one. Fires increased with great
rapidity, and very soon the entire
population became no more than q
community of builders, without the
power to strike. The wise old men
got together, and now l understand
that an investigating committee is ale
ways appointed to determine the origin
of fires, and. as a consequence, the fire
rate has greatly decreased. Many OF
she Indians are weavers and pottery
makers. The cloths they pro-
duce are very pretty, bright

.broidered in cotton or silks

as it must be at the creamery, within
two hours of milking. The expense of

the care Of the COWS, their feed, and

the same results will obtain by either

In the '.Semana SANTA or holy
week. these Indians will not work. and
during this time they eat nothing but
bread and honey, not as penance. but
because they like it. The city of Que
zaltenango, about twelve leagues dis
tant, is where they buy their bread for
this week. They can buy just as good
bread, and just as cheap, in Ratalhulen,
only five miles away. but they can not
be persuaded to buy elsewhere than in
Quezaltenango. Each Indian has his
plat of corn. frijOles and banana and
plantain trees, and truly as class
they need not work unless they are
so inclined. They are experts in
managing banana trees. A tree once
started its roots spread in every direc-
ton. and the roots are said to have
hijos (sons), because from many diff
ferent points on the original root will
spring up little banana trees. These
the Indian carefully detaches from the
main root, and the ''son" being trans
planted in some favorable spot, soon
becomes the father of many more. etc.
A banana tree from the time it ap-
pears requires twelve months to pro-
duce bunch of fruit. and it bears but
once. When the bunch. which ap-
pears at the very top of the tree, is
fully developed, the Indian. using a
sharp-pointed stick. gradually cuts
through the trunk and heart of the tree
until the weight of the bunch of
bananas draws the summit near enough
to the ground to permit gathering; this
done the tree is allowed to rot on the
ground. Cutting thr Ough the tree
with pointed stick is slow process,
but an Indian will never cut down .
banana tree with his machete, or long
steel knife, for superstition exists that
steel coming in contact with the sap Of
the tree ruins the flavor of the fruit to
be gathered.-N Y. Times.

SPEAKING IN PUBLIC.
Helpful Suggestions Furnished by a Mas

Helpful Suggestions Furnished by a Mas
ter Of the Art.
Mr.. Chauncey NJ. Depew was asked
recently to give some hints to young
men on how to speak in public. He
replied: 1.-The best thing for young
man who desires to become a success
full public speaker to do is to join de-
batting society. Here he should take
part in two kinds of dcbate-0ne re-
quiring elaborate preparation as lead
ing speaker and the other without
preparation, but still as one of the
chief disputants. He should also hear
all the famous speakers of the day and
study their style and methods of pre-
senting their subjects. He should en-
deavor to discern the thoughts which
produce effects and also bring out
whatever may be suggested to his
own mind. If he has the stuff in him
in time method of expressing himself
will result. If he has not got the fac
ulty, as soon as he finds this out he
would do well to abandon his efforts to
become speaker: for otherwise he be.
comes a slavish imitatOr of some speak
er and proves a failure. / don't be-
lieve any successful speaker could tell
how he became successful or what was
the element of his success; while he is
sure-footed every effort is nevertheless
an experiment. But for man to be a
good ordinary speaker-expressing
himself we'll without attempting to be
an oratOr-to be able'tO give his views
to a society, address meeting of citi-
zens, the people of church, or SINH
lar gatherings, the debating society
gives facility of speeck and confidence
on ones feet. 1t is important that the
speaker be thoroughly informed on the
subject he is describing, and be posi-
tive in expressing his convictions and
opinions. He must have faith and q
reason for that faith which he is capa-
BILE of expressing in words. l do
not think a college education absolute
" essential in order to make a man q
successful speaker. for there have been
great orators VINO never went to coll
lege. But still it is almost every
thing to a speaker. BY it young
man is taught discipline of the mind,
even if he learns nothing, and the
ability to concentrate his mind upon
the subject under discussion and force
it to think out the reason for the
conclusion. That is q very hard ard
disagreeable work for an unframed
mind. The young man who is to be a
successful speaker should also take up
reading of the widest kind. BY this
he will find out in short time the sub
ject which interests him, and upon this
he can become so much more fully in
formed than those of his acquaintance
that he can become an authority upon
it. He should become so familiar with
the best English classics and the gem
eral history of the world that he can
have their subjects to draw upon, both
for attack and defence. Chicago

MY LOVE.

She's Just . little blue-eyed maid.

And lips as red a. berries when

Her hair is sunlight sifted fine,
And blown this way and that
And as she runs she tucks IN vain
Heavens gold beneath her hat.
OFT lies her little soft white hand
In mine. and by some way
Oerarched with murmuriEG leaves We walk
At close OF summer day
Sometimes she lifts her wond ring face
Childwise {sbe is but severn,
And asks large questions. as they do
Who lately are from Heaven.
And then away she lightly SKINS
To chase . butterfly.

Colonel Monk, or rather Congress
man Monk. for he was a member of
the National House of Representatives,
was a politician from the top of his
polished head to the soles of his ample
CATERS. He was Democrat of the
courtly Jeffersonian school, and
wealthy. The one object. outside of
the political arena upon which his care
and attention was lavished, was his
motherless daughter Adele. He had
watched her childhood with care and
devotion and was now as proud of her,
in her delicate eighteen-year beauty,
as is usual with doting American ia
theirs of the period. He had denied her

damme!r' and the Colonel made for
the door again.
Unfortunately enough the judge hap
pened to be an ardent Republican whom
Colonel Monk had beaten Overwhelm-
ingly at the polls two years before. 1t
would be unfair to suppose that this
fact exercised any influence on his pres
ent line of conduct. But anyhow he
grew very red in the face, arose from
his seat, promptly fined Colonel Monk
fifty dollars and ordered bailiff to see
that he did not leave court until the
fine was paid and he had given his tes-
timOny.
The Colonel subsidized intAa seat with
a despairing groan, and for half an
hour listened in dazed sort of way to
the dreary cross-examining of the first
witness by Mr.. Blake. When he had
finished and the second witness for the
prosecution had appeared Colonel
Monk again beckoned Mr.. Blake over
to him and engaged him in earnest
conversation. At the end of five min
utes the young lawyer stopped down
and whispered in his ear: Colonel
Monk, nothing save your unconditional
consent to my marriage with your
daughter can get you out of this court
room before one o'clock"
The Colonel gave great gasp. He
was due on the platform at one pre-
cisely. The hands of the clock now
pointed to twenty minutes past twelve,
and it was five-mile drive to the
fair grounds.
Again grooming in anguish of spirit
the unhappy man broke the seal Of
another envelope a messenger boy
brought him. 1t read: Il have about
given up hope. The people say you
are afraid. BIS admirers have taken
the horses from his carriage and are
dragging him about the grounds"
Perhaps at that instant vision of q
tear-stained little face that bid him
goodbye that morning rose before the
Colonel, because he dashed his hand
across his face as he muttered: Course
your ingenuity, yes; I'll consent; there's
my hand upon it." He walked rapidly
over to the clerk of the court, handed
him fifty dollars and apologized to
the judge for his display of
temper. At the same instant, Mr..
Blake informed the court of a sudden
discovery on his part that the Colonel's
testimony would not be needed. Where
upon the judge magnanimously forgave
Colonel Monk, RENTED his fine and
permitted him to depart. which he did
with rapidity that took the bailiff's
breath away. No one seemed a bit
surprised when Mr.. Black suddenly
concluded to switch about and plead
guilty. submitting with great grace to
a sentence of six months imprisOn-
ment; which. in view of the heinous-
ness of his offense, was exceedingly
moderate.
Colonel Monk was elected the follow
ing day by 1,463 majority. Adele and
Albert were sitting side by side on a
sofa in the library as he came in from
the balcony, where he had just been adj
dressing a few thousand triumphant
Democratic voters. 1t is to be feared
the Colonel had for this once departed
somewhat from his wonted abstemeous-
ness. because he swayed almost imper-
ceptibly from side to side as he regard
ed the guilty pair, murmuring:
