ACROSS THE YAou COUNTRY.
The First White Man VTho Ever Accom- ul:sIlod fIc I rin.

The First White Man Who Ever Accom-
 pl;shcd tic Trip.
 Charles T. Naylor, an American pros pector who left the city of Chihuahua eight months ago for trip across the Sierre Madre mountains and through the wild and dangerous coun- try inhabited by the Yaqui Indians, arrived at Hermosillo, Mexico, re- gently.
 His trip was made in the search of silver and gold. and was the most des- perate undertaking imaginable. Mir. Naylor's route from Chihuahua was by way of Tomochic, the town which was entirely depopulated in an attack made upon the inhabitants over a year ago by Mexican troops. who massacreo the men, women and children.
 Mir. Naylor stated that in the noun tains west of the fated town he came upon band of about two hundred TOmochic braves who had an almost impenetrable rendezvous upon which all attacks of Mexican soldiers had proved futile. Upon observing that Mir. Naylor was an American bent upon a peaceful mission, he was well received. He spent two weeks with the Tomochics and then entered the Yaqui country. It was there that he met with difficulties. He was captured by band of Yaquis and held prisoner for several days pending a decision of the chief as to what disposition should be made of him. After several solemn councils by the chief with the other prominent members of the tribe, Mir. NaylOr was placed upon horse and with two wounded Indians as guards was started across the coun- try toward the west He passed through g number of villages and was never permitted to tarry longer than one night at single place.
 At the western confines of the Yaqui country his guards left him and he made his way with great difficulty across the mountains to Hermosillo NIT. NaylOr tells some InaI vicious stories of the mineral richness of the Yaqui country and states that the number of the members of the Yaqui tribe has been greatly underestimated. He claims to have seen fully three thou sand armed braves. Some of the In- dian towns contain handsome chapels and buildings, all of Aztec architec- ture. MT. Naylor is the first white man that is known to have crossed the Yaqui country. There have been nu- merous attempts made, but the Va quis always irterfered This is the only tribe in Mexico which has never been conquered.

The Deadly moiare Desert.

A party of cattlemen out on the Mo jave desert recently came across the trail of two men and two burros. The aimless, zigzag course of the trail showed that those who had made it were lost and the cattlemen at once set out to find them. Here and there along the path taken by the wanderers holes of from three to five feet in depth had been dug in the dry sands. Late in the evening the cattlemen came upon a young man lying under a mes quite bush, beside hole dug six feet in the sand, murmuring in delirium and at the point of death. He had been without water more than three days and had lain down to die. 4 mile further on they overlook an old man, who, delirious, was crawling on hands and knees toward Q pool of brackish water, beside which stood the two bur ros. The burroS. being released when he gave up, had found their way to water, and the old man had followed them in a last despairing burst of strength. The two men were miners, who had lost their way a week before Both men recovered after few days of care at the ranch, but mummified corpsss and bleached bones often met with in the desert tell of many travellers whose similar experiences have had no such happy ending.

CALIFORNIA IN 1893.
It Had Both Depression and Cause for
 CongratU!ation.


 Congratu!ation.
 Says a San Francisco letter to the New York Tribune: The retrospect of the year in California does not show the usual gains in business and the customary progress in the material de- velopment of the state. About the only increase in crops is found in hops, of which 4S,000 bales were shipped this year, a gain of 5000 bales over last year. There has also been a substan- tial increase in the gold yield, the out put for this year being 5000, 900, gain of about $2,0O0, 800. From all in- dications gold mining will have big boom the coming year, as hundreds of mines that have not been worked for ten years will be reopened and new properties developed. The wine men have had a good year, as there has re- gently been an unexpected demand for wine and brandy. The decrease in bank clearings probably serves as the best index to the financial depression on this coast. This decrease amounts to S1O6, ,O00, ,000. Real estate transac- tions in this city also fell from $21, ,000,- 900 to $13, 100000 The grain shipments were heavy, but the low price made the total returns smaller. The railroad freight movement surpassed the rec ords of all previous years, the increase over the previous year being 47,00O,O0O pounds, which would fill 21,794 cars The salmon and cod fishing industries were both prosperous.

CASHMERE Sl4AWLS.

Made by Men-Four Months to Do Seven
 Inches.
 One day we went to town to visit manufactory of Cashmere shawls, says a writer in the Cornhill Magazine. After a terribly unattractive approach, we again clambered up some stairs and emerged into large room full of looms, with about forty men all hard at work. One we especially watched. He had in front of him nearly thou sand shuttles of different shades, and out of these he would select one and thread it through as many of the fine strands stretched tightly before him as his pattern directed, and after so doing he pulled toward him a heavy bar which pushed the last little thread quite tight, before putting in the next
 In old days one man used to read out the pattern to all the rest, but now each has his own design on slip of paper in front of him. 1t is said that the wavy line, so often seen in these shawls, was originally taken from the curves of the Jhellim. It took four months, we are told, for four men to do seven inches of this work, one yard wide, working from five in the morn ing till five in the evening every day, so it was hardly to be wondered at that two yards should cost nearly one nn- dred pounds.
 As we left the workroom, so glad to exchange it's heated atmosphere for a cooler breath of air, it was impossible to check the obvious thought of the contrast such lives are to our own. We mingled with the gayly dressed crowd gathered to see polo tourna- ment, and our thoughts strayed back to that stifling room. with it's ceaseless monotony and perpetual grind, where men, more like machines, wove hour after hour varying hues of color into one harmonious whole. And yet the old simile would also assert itself, that we too, in one sense, are hour by hour working tiny threads that go to make up the pattern and color of our lives. The whole design, however, does not lie open before us, but is mercifully withheld by an all-wise master hand.

Fir Stronger Than Oak.

It would be difficult, says the St. Louis Republic, to convince the aver age man that fir is stronger wood than oak. but such has been proven by actual tests that were made by fair and impartial committee appointed for that purpose. The timbers used were each 2x4 inches and feet long, both ends solidly braced and the weight ap- piled in the middle of the span. Yel- low fir stood a strain of 3,062 pounds. common Oregon oak, 2,922 pounds. Fine-grained yellow fir from near the butt stood strain of 3,G35 pounds. and best Michigan oak snapped with Q strain of only 2, 2,42s pounds. The tests were made by the Northern Pacific Railway conpapy ct Tacoma, Wash.

NavIgatlon of the Dead sea.

At length the Dead sea is to be navi- gated, and two sailing boats, one rather large and heavy for cargo and the other smaller and heater for pas sengers, have just been conveyed from Jaffa to Jerusalem by rail and thence to the Dead sea by road. The boats belong to the sultan, as does also the Dead sea, which forms part of the crown property, and it is Abdul Ham ids intention to turn to good account the salt, bitninen and sulphur that abound ia its w.serS and CT its shore.

DisposinS of His Ashes.

An eccentric Washingtonian, who died some time ago, possessed of deal of this worlds goods, has left on file in his will at the registrars office a peculiar contribution on the subject of cremation, says the Washington Post.
 After consigning his soul to his Maker, as the time-honored custom of making wills prescribes, he starts off with a request that none of his kith or kin shall make any marked changes in their manner of dress. He then com mands that his body shall be burned.
 The ashes his friends may dispose of as they choose. They may be used to fertilize his daughters ,fower-bed, or they may be sprinhled under his favor ite orange tree in his grove in Florida. These remarkable instructions also ap- ply to the dust of his first wife, for he directs those who mourn for him when his breath has left the body to search ''the closets upstairs, where they will find the ashes of Mary Ann. These are to be cremated with him. Before pro- cceding to dispose of his property, he also requests that his second wife, at her decease, give her body to be burned, but that she dispose of the ashes according to her own sweet will.

Transparent Leather.

The manufacture of transparent leather, an article which has lately at tracted some attention, may be ac- complished, according to the Magazin Pittoresque, in the following manner: After the hair has been removed from the hide, the latter, tightly stretched upon a frame, is rubbed with mix ture consisting of one thousand parts glycerine. two parts salicylic acid, two parts picric acid, and twenty-five parts boric acid. Before the hide is abso- lutely dry it is placed in a room which the rays of the sun do not pene- trate. and is saturated with a solution of bichromate of potash, and, on the hide becoming very dry, there is ap- piled to it's surface an alcoholic solu- tion of tortoise shell, by which Q transparent aspect is obtained. The leather is Of an exceedingly flexible character, and is used for the manu lecture of toilet articles. though it is claimed to Dc fairly adapted to the Prodlct:on Of foot gear.

RECENT PUBLICATIONS

LOVE AT SEvENTY.-The works of AL
bert Ross have a wide circulation in the
United States, as is shown by the fact of
the issue of $4,000 copies. A certain
amount of the interest of the public is un-
doubtedly due to the fact that the subject
ma tier of his novels Is largely sociological
Society is in state of unrest; people are
on the tiptoe of expectation for changes :;
and men, naturally enough. desire to read
all the evidence in the case and pass judg-
meDt on all proposed schemes of relief.
But besides this Albert Ross has the fac
ulty of telling a story in clear. straight
forward manner, never allowing the in ter
est to flag. and without seeming to strive
for it has the power of developing ex-
tremely exciting situations. "Love at
Seventy" is the story of an old man who
falls in love with his hOusekeeper's daugh-
ter, but is prevented from marrying her
first by his nephew's attachment to
her and finally by her elOpemeDt
with the friend Of his nephew.
However, the old man of 20 is made
happy by the discovery of a daughter, of
whose existence he had been ignorant for
over twenty years, and the whole story
ends as happily as stories should do.
There are one or two good bits of char
acter-drawing in the book, notably Tom
Hobbs, who, discharged by his employer.
Willard Linnette, was summoned the next
day to resume his place on condition of
apologiZing. After asking his employer
if he deemed him unexcited Tom de-
lberately said. well, l shall not apolo-
gize or anything of the sort. | came here
10 tell you to 90 to the devil" A blunt
character but an bonest one, and supply-
ing all through the book an atmosphere of
clearness and goodness. The character of
the nephew. Roland Linnette, is an ex-
travagantly weak and impossible one. as
also is that of Eva Warren, the girl with
whom the old man of 20 was in love.
Notwith standing these defects the book
cannot fail to find readers as the narrative
is unquestonably entertaining and most
of the characters natural and true to life.

The Caye-DweiIers.

CaYe.dwelIers are found among the following
tribes: The southern Pmas, the Tarahumaris
and the allied tribe of Huarogios and the Tepe-
huanes. All these tribes inhabit the State of
Chihuahua and are more or less mountaineers
living almost entirely in the great Sierra Madre
Range. OF these people the Tarahumaris
are most attached to caves. the Tepe-
huanes the least. All are linguistic
ally related. In some of their customs
and manners they also greatly resemble
each other, while In others. as we'll as in char
acter. they are strkingly different Very little
that may be called accurate was known Of
these tribes. The Tarahumaris, the most
affected by Mexican civilization, are the most
interesting, and l shall conine myself In the
following paper almost exclusively to THIS an
cient people, who may justly be termed the
living cave-dweers OF the American continent.
Are the cave-dwellers related TO the ancient
cliff-dwelers of the southwestern part OF the
United States and northern Mexico? Decidedly
not. Their very aversion TO living more tnaD
one family in a cave, and their lack OF sOciabil-
ity marks contrast with the ancient cliff
dwellers, who were by nature gregarlOus. The
fact that people live in caves Is In itself eX-
tremely interesting, but this alone does not
prove any connection between them and The
ancient cliff-dWeers. Although the Tarahu-
mari is very intelligent. he IS backward
pottery is exceedingly crude as compared
with the work found IN the old cliff-dwelllngs,
ana Its decoration is infantile as contrasted
with the cIiff-dwellers' work. The eliff-dweil-
ers brought the art of decoration to
comparatively nign state, as shown in the
relics found In their dwellings. But the
caye-dweler OF to-day shows no suggestion of
such skin. Moreover, he is utterly devoid OF
