aged waste until lie sees dark green spot,
| which tells him that the quinne tree is there
Sometimes these spots are hard to find even
after being sighted, aud have heard of bankers
who saw group OF quina trees from one OF
the natural lookouts, and then hunted for it
for days. only to give up the quest and turn IN
another direction. The cascarillero will stand
and look at the examiuador as he turns the
lanceoate and heavily veined leaves over and
over in his hands, and the expression which
sometimes comes to his face is actually pain
full. He may have forded rivers for that par
ticular leaf; he may have had brush with
tapir, or fought the jaguar to reach the prize,
and if it should turn out to be an inferior leaf,
or the leaf of a tree practically worthless to
commerce, he will walk away saying nothing,
but with his teeth hard set and his eye ablaze.
Some bankers tear up the roots of the Gin
chonas, in order to got every mite OF bark.
Others let these remain, for in some regions
the roots will produce new trees in six years;
in Others, the colder lands, it requires 20 to
produce new tree. The barker is eager to get
all he can out of the trip. He may never come
that way again. aud is afraid that some other
might come after him and reap rich harvest
from his mercy.
The homeward journey from the quinine
country is accompanied with jollity. The rich
voices Of the merry casearilleros ring out on
the night and around the campfres they tell
their adventures, and if the "long bow" is
drawn again the story tellers can be pardoned,
for they are licensed characters. Suddenly
the scene is broken by cry, the lie is passed,
and the tall figures of two harkers stand in the
freight with knives drawn. The namc of
some dusky Cleopatra has been mentioned by a
rival; he may have sighted her charms in his
remarks, and If some examinador does not
spring between the rivals the knife becomes
red, and there is another grave along the
Quinine Trail.
Fortunately we returned to Loxa without the
loss Of single man. The barker who lost his
hand by picking up the poisoned arrow was
rewarded above the others by the house for
which we were gathering bark, and this seemed
to compensate him for the loss of the member.
parted with the little company with genuine
regret. for when you have camped out and
shared dangers with men-no matter if some of
them sepia- colored savages-you form
friendships that are endearing; you learn to
respect the dark fellows who take their lives
in their hands when they go over the mount
aims and thread the death strewn trails of the
Montana for the bark which has blessed the
world ever since the Countess Of Cinchon felt
the powder in her system.
There are trails and trails, but the trackless
forests that yield the quinine bark afford the
most adventure and present the most alluring
scenery of them all.

At Stone River I saw an infantryman struck
between the shoulders by solid shot. He was

OF the forehead. We were kneeling He had

cried out, My God, Pm hit" before he fell

While we were forming a battle-line in the
streets OF Fredericksburg rifed she'll ex-
ploded in the ranks about 20 feet away. One
man was blown to frsgmeuts-so completely
wiped OF the face of the earth that not a finger
OF him was to be found. The she'll probably
exploded just as it hit him. The man on bis
right had leg and an arm blown off and was
hung 10 feet away, yet he vas living and try
ing to speak half a minute later. The one on
his left was cut in two above the hips and one

close for 20 seconds.
At Spottsyiyanis Sergeant on my right was
shot through the heart as the lines were ad-
vancing. The body was afterward examined
by the Surgeon, and he said the bullet had
passed through the heart The mau advanced

81 seconds after receiving the shot. In the
cemetery at Gettysburg three of US were lying
down behind a monument which had toppled
over aud were using il as a breastwork. Tho
man on the left was struck bv some missile,
probably a fragment of she'll, which uncovered
the whole top of his head. He laid his gun
aside, stood up st full hight, and then shrieked
out and fell As we turned to him he raised
his right arm and his lips moved as If he were
trying to give US some message.

The Cholera.

The cholera is spreading. The municipality
of st. Petersburg, Russia continues very active
in it's endeayors to control the epidemic. The
prejudice against the doctors which prevails
among the masses of the people is SO deep
rooted as to have called forth a formal and
categorical denial from the authorities of the
absurd rumors of cholera patients in the hos
pitfalls being buried alive. 1t is believed that
the alleged burial alive of cholera patients can
De traced to the fact called attention to by the
Vienna physician that the corpses of those who
have persisted by cholera are for some time
after death subject to conyuisiye movements
of some muscles. or even of whole groups of
muscles. These phenomena appear about three
hours after death and last longer than three
hours
During the past week some 10000 people
havc died in Russia, and thousands of cases are
reported every day.
All the European countries are exercising
every precautiou to prevent the spread or en-
trance of the disease.

in whose diving ears rang the wild screech of
the jaguar or the whizz of the Chunchos arrow.
The QGinine Trail, as it is called, is Travelled
yearly by set Of daring men, some OF whom
are sepia-colored fellows as agile as the roebuck
and as fearless as the tiger. They come out
after the trees that produce the quinine bark,
aud some of them perish while looking for the
leaves that tell them where the rich eiumps
are. Beyond the base of the Andes, deep IN
the forest Of this terra incognta of northern
Peru, the savages find the gray trees covered
with their garments of Llama, climbing vines,
and for centuries hidden from the keen sight
of the cascarilleros.
Ii was my fortune to go ont with party
whose quest was the bark of the quina- quina
trees, and for weeks we tramped the wild I'M
known, seeing the Qunine Trail in all its parts
and at last coming back loaded with the pre-
oious bark to say that we had had enough OF
sport ia the Montana.
We left little city named Loxa deep in the
mountains and, well supplied with guides and
bark hunters, besides All expert examination,
whose duties were to examine the bark found
and to direct the operations of the qulnlne
camp, we climbed the high hills or descended
into strange valleys, new crossing streams on
frail bridges of ropes made by Indians and now
turning aside for brush with the jaguar or the
wilder Chunchos.
The Quinine Trail runs through one OF the
most wonderful regions in the world. The
Montana covers nearly two thirds OF Peru and
much of IT is as unknown to-day as when the
banners of the Pizarros sbone in the hills
around Cuzco. A few years ago an attempt
was made to settle the country, and some ad-
venturous men who thought they could get
along with the Indian went thither and erect
ed homes in the wilderness, raising focks and

signal, the Chunchos swooped down upon them

Taking Care of the Hands.
LPetersoa's.1

A soft nail brush should be used in washing
the hands. If any instrument be needed for
the nails it should be of ivory, not of steel: if
you use a sharp steel instrument you roughen
the under surface. and they soon get unsightly
and are more easily soiled. About once a week
is often enough TO trim the nails Do not cut
them too much down at the sides, else you may
have an in-growing nail. Trim them oval or
flbert, whichever suits the shape of the fingers
best Do not, however. leave them too long,
or they may easily be likened to claws by peo-
pie who don't love you.
