HOUSES WITHOUT NAILS.
The OueerIy Constructed Homes Of the
Carib Indians at Mosquito.

The Oueeriy Constructed Homes Of tbs
Carib Indians at Mosquito.
On the coast Of Mosquito, q re-
Gently created department of the re-
public of Honduras, there are few
houses better than the watla of the
Carib or the Waika Indian. says the
New York Journal. The frame of the
watla rests upon eight or more posts
firmly set in the ground and are
usually of Santa Maria wood, which
resists decay.
In the short crotch at the top of the
post lies the pole, five or six inches in
diameter, which is the plate" on
which rests the long, slender rafters.
which meet high above the ground.
The rafters are held in place by light
poles, which u around the ends and
sides of the roof. Cross pieces serve
to strengthen the whole.
Not Il nail, not a bit of iron of any
kind, is used in building this cottage,
but the whole frame is held together
by bajucos or tie-tie vines. which are
found in unlimited quantities in every
forest, and which, when green. cal be
used as easily as cords could be for
lashing the pieces together. AS they
dry they shrink and bind the whole
most firmly.
While the men are putting up the
frame of the house the women are pre-
pairing the covering, which is made of
a kind of leaf called monkey tail. u
This they attach to strips some ten feet
long and an inch wide, split from bam-
boo, the whole making a fringe about
sixteen inches wide. Beginning at
the lower ends of the rafters. those
fringes IRE dashed firmly in rows ex-
tending entirely around the edge OF
the roof. The second row laps over
the first and the third over the second,
and so on, until the house is covered
by a thatch which will turn the heav-
lest rain, and will last eight or ten
years.
The walls of the house are made of
the trunks of papta palms, three or
four inches in diameter. These are
set upright and close together in a
trench and tied with bajucos or poles
running from post to post; or bamboos
cut in pieces of suitable length are
flattened into broad sheets or ''crick-
cries" and fastened upright to the
frame, thus making a smooth, clean
and attractive wall, through which the
refreshing breezes draw steadily from
morning until night.
The daughter of a New York judge
has for more than two years made her
home in such a watla. the walls being
draped with muslin and the ceiling
with pink mosquito bar in plats radi-
ating from the center. The japanese
decorations harmonic with the walls
and the shelves of bamboo, filled with
choice books. Moreover, there is a
floor of pine lumber, pictures on the
wall. an easel in the corner and tables
whereon baskets of oranges, mangoes,
bananas and other luscious fruits iG
their season tempt the visitor.

THE LICORICE TREE.
its Home in Asia Minor-The Black
Licocice Made in Spain.

its Home in Asia Minor-The Black
Lico-ice Made in Spain.
Most of it comes from Asia Minor,
where it is found growing in great
abundance all along the fiat unculti-
waited and almost uninhabited lands of
the rivers Tigris and Euphrates. 1t
is a small shrub not more than three
feet high, with a light foliage, and is
never found far from the water.
The season for collecting the roots
is generally during the winter, al
though it is possible all the year
round. When the root is first dug it
is full of water and must be allowed
to dry, a long tedious process, often
taking a year. 1t is then sent to
Bagdad. where it is pressed into bales
and shipped to London, and from
there to America, quantities of it be-
ing used in this country in the manu-
facture of tobacco.
The black l~icorice stick or rolls
which we see in the confectionery and
drug stores come mostly from Spain.
and are made of pure juice mixed
with a little starch, which prevents it
from melting in warm weather, and
before packing each stick is wrapped
in bay leaves.
The word licorice means sweet
root" and is of Greek origin.-Har-

a Cruel bondage.

There are more bondages than the
bondage of sin. Take the conformist,
the person who is afraid to make a
single step in life without reference to
a manual of correct behavior; the per-
son who is always tormenting himself
with the question: What will people
say?" No old African slave in dread of
the lash, writes AMBER" in the Chi
cage Herald, was ever under crueler
bondage than he. What do you
suppose it will matter to you or
to me, a dozen years from now,
what people said about this or that we
did that was off the regulation cut?
Gossip is the honey that stocks the hives
of human bees, but it is ephemeral stuff
it doesn't last over season.

LADIES who want white hair should
80 to and live awhile in New Mexico
or Colorado. According to a recent let
ter from that region a residence in
either will bleach the hair, and many a
black-haired man who has gone out
there to settle comes back in three or
four years with a poll as white as snow.
Some say it is the altitude, though
what an altitude of five thousand or six
thousand feet has to do with a mans
hair is a mystery. A more reasonable
explanation is the alkali. The alkali
dust gets in the hair, and must be
washed out with the alkali water, and
the hair is thus speedily bleached.

The nerve tonic" fad has had a mui-
titude of disciples during the past sum-
mer. There are, says the New York
Tribune, large numbers Of otherwise
sensible people who drink a quart or so
a week of some connection which is
warranted to ''tone up" the nerves in a
OF less magical way, and who will
solemnly assure yon that the said con-
coction has saved them from imbecility.
And yet these so-called nerve tonics"
are simply water 'or syrup, colored and
favored with some cheap and harmless
substance. They have about as much
effect on the nerves as they would have
on a broken arm.

DOLLAR worship is pretty generally
regarded as a sin in America, but even
those who frown most darkly on the
greed for gold are nothing 10th to join
in the scramble when the coin is flying
about. Charles Dickens %shuddered at
what is often termed our national sin,
yet while here in this country it was
noticed that the dollar that rolled in
his direction was stopped with alacrity,
and it is said that some hundreds of
thousands of them departed with him
when he went back home to merry
England.

The city of New York is said to have
quite a number of Armenians among
its people. They are, as a rule, small
traders and merchants, and have the
name of being even keener and shrewder
traders than the Jews. One of the
Rothschilds once said Of this people:
''Shut up all the Jews with all the
Armenians in an exchange, and in less
than a day all the Jews wealth will
have passed into Armenian hands"

He proposed to construct steel spring
which, when placed in front of an engine,
would take upon itself all the momentum
of colliding engine and leave the trains
absolutely intact. When it came to es-
timating as to the amount of steel to be
used for the purpose it was found that sew
eral million tons would hardly be enough
to effectually resist the tremendous energy
of moving giant engine.
my invention as now perfected when
applied to clocks will enable them to run
for several years. On heavier machinery
my idea is simply to increase the number
of springs, adjusting all of them with
these clutches and cams as they are ar
ranged in the final patent granted me.
Elevators could be run for days by means
of this conserved energy and there is no
question i'll my mind but that the power
can now be successfully applied to street
cars and to the heaviest kind of machin-
cry. 1t took me years to overcome the
capacity of spring to break. In fact,
that was my main difficulty, and it was
not until applied what you might call
the break of the machine, the clutches,
that | succeeded, and now you see there is
absolutely no danger of break in any of
the springs l have used"
With this Mr.. Workman began test of
the four-spring machine, and its power of
conserving energy seemed indefinite. By
the application of his brakes he made the
spring coil as he pleased, giving it re-
newed energy each time and stopping it
just when he pleased, then again renew
ing it, when it would have gone on indefi-
tely until the element of friction would
h ave made further conservation impossi-
Bile. 1t certainly is marvellous machine,
and Mr.. Workman deserves to rank
among the leading inventors of the age.
He himself is a man of medium height,
with exceedingly intellectual features, a
stockily-built frame. and still young
enough to improve vastly on his great
idea. He has in his workshop several
machines which he seems to run with ease
through his new motor. One of these is
an Edison photograph, and he demon
strated to me that, as far as applied motive
power was concerned, the spring motor
was certainly superior in this instance to
electricity.
