RUBBER MAKING.
Nature Performs the Greater Portion of
the Work.


Nature does its own planting, hoeing,
everything save the gathering, and
comes very nearly doing that, as it
needs only the stroke of the machete to
set the gum trickling. The crop is a
heavy one. Twenty Indians will make
forty thousand pounds of rubber in a
season. A days work for an Indian is
a path of one or two miles long in the
forest, In this path he will probably
find zone hundred and fifty suitable
trees, which, one after another, he taps,
deNtcrously cutting so as not to pene-
traie beyond the bark. To go through
the bark and not touch the wood gives
the best results, and Indian skill is in
tuitivcly cultivated to this end.
Several hours after tapping he col
lccts the sap, and then comes the
smoking process, by which the white.
milky substance is converted into fine,
tough india rubber. The quality de-
ponds upon the care in making and the
conditions in gathering. Fine Para
should have no humps in it. Wealth
lies all around you. One burr from the
Brazilian nut tree contains two quarts
OF nuts. A hundred pounds of them in
New York are worth twenty dollars
In the rubber districts farina is Guilt
vatcd This is the only -four that the
Indian will eat and the Brazilian uses
it largely. 1t makes good bread Sci
entifiC mericau.

SPEAKER CRISP will, if his health per-
mits, make the closing speech in the
debate now being so ably maintained by
the democratic members of the house,
on the free wool bill Mr. Springer will
be unable to take any part whatever in
the debate, AS his physicians say that he
must go away as soon as he is we'll
enough to travel, for five or six weeks
OF absolute rest before he can resume
his duties in the house. The state of
Mr. Mills health is such that it is ex-
tremely doubtful whether he will be
able to make any set speech, but there
will be no lack of speeches, as nearly
one third of the democratic members
have notified Mr. McMillin, who is in
charge of the bill, of their desire to
speak. 1t is probable that some of
them will have to wait until one of the
other tariff bills is called up, as it is the
present intention to vote on the free
wool bill on the 21st inst, so as to get
it out of the way of the free coinage
bill, which comes up on the 22nd, under
the resolution adopted last Monday.

THERE are more constitutional amend
ments proposed in congress this session
than are likely soon to be adopted; but
at least one of them deserves to be
adopted. The choice of senators by di-
rect vote of the people would not affect
the fundamental ideas that senators
represent the states as such, and it
would do away with many abuses that
have fastened upon the present method.
For instance, if senators wero elected by
direct vote, Connecticut would not be
represented by two republicans.

PROHIBITION has proved failure in
Iowa. The statement was recently
made that there were 220 places in Des
Moines where liquor was openly sold,
but while the mayor denies that there
is so much dram-selling as here implied,
he remarks: l must admit that there
are lots of dives in the city where liquor
is sold, but with the machinery we have
it is impossible to stop them. We have
no support. The people who raise the
loudest cry about non-enforcement of
the liquor law would go into Mysteries
if we should subpoena them to go before
a jury. We get neither their moral nor
legal support. The drugstore keepers,
however, are violating the law to a
greater extent than any other class of
men. Under tho cloak of the law they
are selling liquor in enormous quantities
and there is no way to stop them.
With all the laws we have it is i'm
possible to keep down drunkenness. AS
long as druggists are allowed to sell
liquor to people who will take it to
some lumber yard or alley and retail it
out to drunkards, just so long will you
find drunken men on our streets.

Now if the programme had been car

Wicked up this letter, and subsequently,
pressedlit to his lips in the seclusion of
his elegant bachelors apartments. 1t is
wrong and sad to think that such things,
occur, but they always have occurred,

improper proceedings will ever become
entirely obsolete. We must take this
world as we find it. But to resume. -
As luck would have It, Fido saw his
mistress drop the letter, and. as he had
been trained to fetch things, he snatched
it up and darted off toward the il-as-
sorted couple. In vain did Mr.. Snob-
berry whistle softly and call: "Fidol
Fidol come herei That's nice little
doggy-woggy." He insisted on carry
ing that document back to his mistress.
A minute later the intelligent animal
was frisking around in front of Mrs. B.,
wagging his tail and holding up the let
ter, as much as to say: "Ain't smart

Old Burdstick swooped down with an
agility that was surprising in a man Of
his years and captured the letter. In
vain did Mrs. B. endeavor to secure the

y. .---~ felicity is stead
lily on the increase. The suits for d.
vorce are apparently becoming more
numerous. In fact, a divorce epidemic
seems to have broken out, and the
cases are so numerous as to discourage
the clergy and longest the docl1ets of
the local courts. There is a mania to
relapse, temporarily at least, into a
state of single blessedness. 1t is con-
fined to no particular class or condition
of men.
The aristocratic people who reside on
Fifth avenue and live sumptuously every
day and belong to the upper crust of
Gotham society are as much addicted to
divorce as those who infest the slums
of Cherry street, never wear fine raj
ment or go to Europe in the
summer for their health. The causes of
martial infelicity are various. Married
couples quarrel for divorce reasons, so
to speak; but the principal cause seems
to be incongruity Of age on the part of
the unhappy couples. Old men who
marry young wives, and Uice CersG, are
the most frequent applicants for relief
from their conjugal bonds. Young
women who have aged husbands will
hirt with young man, as certain old
gentleman who lives on Madison aVenue
has found out for himself. There are,
of course, many notable exceptions, but
| it would be very difficult to make the
elderly gentleman referred to believe
that there Is IN exception to the rule, SO
| prone is the average human being to
form his opinion of mankind in general
by his own individual experience.
Not long since an item appeared in
| the New York papers that created a So
cial earthquake among the elite. 1t was
to the effect that Mr.. Burdstick, a
wealthy merchant, had brought suit for
divorce from his young and charming
wife, who previous to her compare
lively recent marriage was known as the
belle of Harlem. In the same paper ap-
peared another item that Park Police
man O'Donohue had almost pounded
the life out Of Gus Snobberly, young
society man, and some surprise was
created by the additional item that al
| though urged to do so Mr.. Snobberly
refused to prosecute the brutal police
man.
| It did not appear that these two
items had anything to do with each
other, but they had. 1t seems that
among other pets Mr.. Burdstick had a
dog-a pug dog named Fido-which
was the cause Of both these disasters.
Mr.. Burdstick was short, fat man, with
his head jammed down between his
shoulders. He had 1urid-colored face,
suggestive OF high feeding. He also
had great difficulty in catching his
breath; like the editor Of a campaign
journal, he could not get along without
great deal of putting and blowing. He
was upwards of sixty years of age. Mrs.
Burdstick was not more than twenty
five, good looking and vivacious, as is
usually the case with the bellies OF
Harlem.
The weather was unusually mild for
this season Of the year, and Mr.. B.
made it point to accompany his young
vito in her walks. He went with her
to look after and care for her, but there
| was no occasion for it, as there were
several young gentlemen who cared fol
her and were willing to look after hel

compromising document. He smelt q
rat, with livid fingers he tore it open
and, after several frantic efforts, he adj
justed his glasses and began to read:
dearest Gus: The old fraud-puff-
the old fraud-why that's me-win be
away to-morrow'-not much he won't"
-etc.-and the excited old gentleman
kept on reading and putting and blow
ing.
The note was signed: "Your darling
Lucy"
Mrs. Burdstick's name was Lucy, and
he recognized her wellknown hand
writing. He glared around like one of
the wild animals. The dude was not in
sight, neither was Mrs. Burdstick in
sight, as slle had hurried away so as not
to be present during the impending
cyclone. All at once, a gray-coated
policeman darted forward, rushed
across the grass, and from behind a
large tree, where he was trying to hide,
he dragged the trembling dude.
'I'll teach yer to kape off the grass"
said the policeman, slamming the
wretched man against tree time or
so.
That's right! make him keep off the
grass! Brain him. exclaimed Mr..
Burdstick.
"Lave me alone for that" howled the
policeman, getting in some very fine In
dian club practice.
1t is hardly necessary to add that the
policeman did his whole duty. When
Snobberly comes out of the hospital he
will be summoned as a witness in the
divorce suit. Mrs. Burdstick has re-
turned to her parents, and among the
dogs that were drowned by the author
tiles was one that bore a remarkable
resemblance to unfortunate Fido, and
which had been turned over to the dog
catchers by stout old gentleman, who
bore a remarkable likeness to Mr..
Burdstick. ALEX E. SWEET.

PRESIDENT HARRISON has been as pre-
cipitate in making public the CORE
spondence with Lord Salisbury concern
ing the refusal of that official to renew
the modus vivendi in Behring sea dur
ing the coming sealing season, as he was
il sending that famous ultimatum to
Chili-Mr Blaine is sick IN bed and has
had nothing to do with this undue
haste. Before the last communication
to Lord Salisbury could possibly have
been read and digested by him, it was
sent to the senate, something unheard
of in time of peace. 1t is not probable
that the senate will take any action on
the arbitration treaty, which preceded
the correspondence by one day, until
time has been given Lord Salisbury to
reply to the last dispatch sent him..

In criminal case at st Louis cleo
tricity was alleged to have been stolen
by bridging wires entering a store be-
fore the wires entered the meter. The
point was raised that electricity cannot
be stolen, inasmuch as to steal there
must be an absorption, which is impos-
sible in the case of electricity, as it is no
wise under control, and therefore not
the goods, property or effects of anyone.
The judge abruptly adjourned the case
until he could fully investigate the mat
ter.

Trying to Buy Back His own Body.

This queer story comes from Massa-
chusetts: "A man who lives in a sub
urb of Lowell is seeking to have deed,
given by him twenty years ago, recov-
cred. The deed conveyed his body to q
surgeon now practicing in Great Falls,
n. H., for the sum of $40 and other con-
siderations, possession to be taken ON
his death. Since the deed was made
the giver has made fortune in South
America and has decided that he would
like Christian burial. The deed pro-
vides that the body shall be dis
sected and the skeleton articulated
and presented to medical university.
The lawyers have decided that the
deed holds good and the only alterna-
tive is to buy off the doctor. The giver
of the deed has made big offer, but it
has been refused.

WONDERS OF SLEEP.

A Scientist Explains Why We Lose Con-
scIOusnCSS During That Period.
In a paper published in q French
medical magazine, DR.. Brown-Sequard,
the famous elixir of life" advocate,
adduces SOME Of the reasons that have
led him to the conclusion that normal
sleep is the effect of an inhibitory act,
instead of depending, as formerly sup
posed, upon a vascular contraction TAX
ing place in the cerebral lobes. Ex-
periments plainly prove that sleep may
exist whether there is little or much
blood in the vessels of the brain. That
the loss of consciousness in sleep in nu-
merous other accidental or pathological
cases is the effect of an inhibition Of
the cerebral faculties is to be believed.
DR.. Brown-Sequard argues, because Of
direct proofs showing that the loss of
consciousness in the case of a pune
ture of the bulb, and in other cases,
also, is, beyond all dispute, due to an
inhibitory act, and also because of all
that is known of the circumstances
which precede or accompany sleep. The
broad statement made by the cele-
brated author is that there exists, when
sleep occurs and as long as it lasts, irri-
tation at distance from the organs in
which the cessation of activity takes
place. Among the proofs of the exist
ence of such 'irritations the following
are cited: Feeling of heaviness in the
eyes, persistent contraction of the pu-
pill, contraction of the orbicular muscles
and contraction of the blood vessels of
the retina of the eye and of the
cerebral lobes.-Chicago Herald.

The house committee on appropria-

divisions Of the treasury department,
those on public moneys and loans and
currency, because the work done by
them is but a duplication of what is
done by two divisions Of the treasurer's
office. All that is necessary to abolish
them is to leave them out OF the annual
