where tropical rains are succeeded by
tropical sunshine, where the winter
does not deserve the name, so mild IL
the season, nature Is bounteous, and
all sorts of vegetation grow with u
rapidity and luxuriance unknown else.
where. In many parts of Guatemala,
when q road is cut through jungle,
constant labor and watchfulness are
required to prevent its obliteration by
the encroaching verdure on either
hand. Roads neglected for two weeks
can not be traced, so completely are
they overgrown by the trees and vines.
The abundance of nature in The fields
overpowers the industry of man. A
farmer can cultivate only limited
area on account of the rapidity with
which the native plants grow. Under
the chiefs who formerly ruled this
country, the roads were kept open by
gangs of laborers employed by the
chieftain, and the farmers were COM
PEELED to keep their fields clear Of
weeds. With the coming Of the Euro
peans, all the conditions which had
tended to the prosperity Of the people
were completely changed. The roads
were obllterated, the reservoirs were
ruined by lack of attention during the
rainy season, the irrigating bitches
were soon covered by underground,
the temples were overgrown with
trees. For three centuries incentives
to industry were taken from the popu-
lation, and in that time the natives lost
all memory of their former greatness,
and now could not perhaps revive
their ancient prosperity even by ardu-
Gus effort. 1t is probable that even
during the period of Guatemala's
greatest glory the country was ruled
by chiefs of superior and different
race, who treated the people like serfs,
and compelled them to work against
their will. Even, however, if this
were not the case, three centuries Of
idleness create a hereditary aversion
to labor that is not easily overcome.
In spite, however, of it's lazy popuIa-
ton, of its climate, of its almost i'm
passable forests, thick with venomous
reptiles and insects, Guatemala must
always be an interesting country-in-
teresting from its associations connect
ed with the early Spanish conquerors,
for here Cortes was lost for nearly two
years, and here Alvarado made one Of
his earliest expeditions; interesting
from its savage mountaineers, whom
neither the Aztec chiefs, nor the Span
iards, nor the Guatemalan rulers have
ever been able to bring under control;
interesting from it's ruins, showing, as
they do, the former richness and pros
perity of the country,

lBecoming an Island of Nfutes.

OF the 146 inhabitants Of the little
town of Chilmark, on the Island CT
Martha's Vineyard, thirty six, or almost
one-quarter, are congenltally deaf and
dumb. The town records show that
two of the original settlers of the place,
away back in the seventeenth century,
were deaf and dumb, and the infirmity
has thus been transmitted to our own
day. This hereditary influence shows
no plan of uniformity in it's workings,
deaf and dumb parents having children
in full possession of all their senses,
and vice versa. This peculiar commun.
ity, shut in from the outside world, Is,
however, alive to all the social and DO.
litical influences of the time and does
not differ in great degree from the thou.

Amusing Form of Misspeech.

In the Contributors Club, in the
Atlantic Monthly, q writer speaks OF
form of misspeech to which most Of
us are occasionally subject-the ex.
change of syllables. A certain young
lady, who, to her intense mortiica-
ton, often reverses her vowcls thus,
says she is entirely unconscious of it,
even after speaking.
Ono summer evening she was
snuntering with friend towards the
village postollice of the little town
where they were staying. On the way
they encountered an acquaintance
with n handful of letters.
"Ah, good evening"" she said, in
her peculiarly gracious, suave man.
ner. "Are you strailing out for your
mole?'
The mystifed young woman made
some inarticulate reply and passed
on. AS soon as the friend could re,
cover her gravity, she gasped, "l
suppose you intended to ask Miss May
if she was strolling out for her mail ?"
The same young lady was relating a
sad story of various misfortunes which
had overwhelmed dear friend.
"Think," she concluded pathetic
ally, "of losing husband, children,
property and home at one swell foop!"
And howl of laughter rent the roof.

way until the next seismic convulsion
compels him to renew exertions in the
line of domestic architecture.
Guatemala has not developed for an
other reason than the earthquakes. 1t
is almost destitute of ports, and equally
bare of navigable rivers. There are
many streams. but all so broken by
rapids, cascades and falls that they are
practically useless to the country, save
for purposes of irrigation They might
be employed for that, but as during
half the year rain falls every afternoon
as regularly as the afternoon comes,
irrigation is not so much needed as in
some other regions. where the skies arc
not so bountiful. AS for the ports, the
two or three on the Pacific side are
hardly worth the name, being for the
most part open roadsteads. while the
solitary port town on the Atlantic
slope is a miserable collection of huts,
not deserving the name of town. With
only about 100 miles of railroad, with
no navlgable rivers and no ports worthy
of the name, a considerable develop.
ment could not soon be expected. But
more could have been done than has
been by different class of poulation
for, besides their unconquerahle repug
nance to work, the native Guatemalans
are not in the least enterprising, nor do
thev seem to understand or apDreciate

CORN AND COTTON.
Two Staples in Which the United
States Lead the Whole World.

Two Staples in Which the United
States Lead the Whole World.
Cotton and corn are the two great
American staples, and the two in which
the United States stand easily at the
head not only Of all countries, but of
all countries combined. The total cot,
ton supply of the world, figured on the
basis of bales of 400 pounds each, Is
about 100000 bales, and of this
amount the United States produces
about 100000 bales, or two-thirds of
the whole amount. The crop here at,
tained the highest figures before the
war in 1860, when it was 100000
bales of 470 pounds; 1892 was the best
year for cotton since, the crop being
10000 bales Of 470 pounds.
The corn of the United States for
1894 Is 65,0O0,000 acres, and the total
product 1,200,000,000 bushels, of the
value of about S6O0,OOO,OO0. The great
corn year was 1880, with crop Of
2,100,000,000 bushels; 1891 followed
with 2,000,000,OOO bushels. In 1892
and 1898 the figures were about the
same, 600, 100000 bushels. Compared
with the value of the corn and cotton
crop, the other agricultural produc.
tions of the United States occupy
subordinate position, the value of the
wheat crop being $225,000,00O, cats
$214, 100000, potatoes sol 100000 bar.
ley $27,000000, rye $13,000000, and
buckwheat $7,000,000.
Two surprises because Of the differ.
ence in value compared with ordinary
public expectations are hay and to.
bacco. The hay crop of The United
States amounted last year to Si5S,O00,.
900 in value; the tobacco crop, on the
other hand, amounted to only S27, ,00O,.
900. The last year preceding QS93)
the tobacco crop was so per cent great.
er and considerably more than half
of it came from two States, Kentucky
and Tennessee. Kentucky stands at
the head of the tobacco States. Penn.
sylvania is at the head of those in the
North. Connecticut comes next; New
York is fourth.-Sun.

The establishment in several Statcs
of societies for the avowcd purpose of
abolisjing debt, brings undeniable e1i.
dence that the race is making progress.
Debt, of course, cannot be entirely abol,
ished, but by perseverance and practice
the habit may be acquired of paying as
we 20. Indebtedness is in many in.
stances habit and one that should be
gotten rid of and the organization that
points the way to this end will be doing
n splendid work. To the poor man with
steady employment who is endeavoriue
to save something for home or to fit
the growing members of his family for
the inevitable future the habit of ow.
ing is serious drawback. The family
with n store book nearly always buys
more than is really needed, because il
IS 50 easy TO make bills that are to be
paid a week or n month after the pur
chascs are made. BY paying on the
spot the buyer oftener sees the money
going, and there is fuller realization
of what is taking place. This at once
suggests economy. And what freedom
it is to be free from debts of all sort 4
Who does not remember Longfellow's
village blacksmith who Cooked the
whole world in the face, for he owed
not any man?" And who, after paying
q debt that has for years been hanging
over him, does not feel as If a great
burden has been suddenly removed from
his shoulders? This generation may

But the beautiful region they inhabit
was not alwoys peopled by men of their
kind, for before the coming of the Span
iards this part of America had attained
q degree of civilization such as was
known to no other portion of the north
crn continent. The ruins of scores of
cities which must, from the extent Of
the remains, have been of very consid-
cradle size, and probably had each a
population of many thousands, attest
the former populousness of the coun-

ence of irrigating works of great ex-
tent, the remains of highways over
grown with forest trees, the ruins of
