FOREIGN NATIONS INTERESTED.
Mr. Macchi was appointed in February,
and went at once To London. Since that
time he has Travelled through Germany,
France, Italy, Belgium and Spain, and has
visited Russia and some or the smaller
states He has been devoting particular
attention to securing exhibits for the
department OF manufacture and industry.
In these departments the Atlanta EX-
position Will 'be ilonany respects minia-
ture of the Columbian Exposition, but
will also have original features. Particular
attention will be paid to showing the
special productions OF each country in
as complete q ,Orm as possible Germany
will send q large collection OF pottery,
ceramics, and musical Instruments. France
will contribute many new scientific ap-
pliances, the collection OF electrical IN
struments being especially large, and from
Russia Will come a large exhibit of furS.
AS the managers or the exposition will
devote one-half Of the manufactures build
ing TO European exhibits, ii Will be possible
to find room there for statues, bronzes,
china, pottery, ard glassware, and these
will make up TO small part or the foreign
exhibit From Italy, especially, valuable
works OF art have been obtained.
ART AND BICYCLES.

BY these means Mr.. Macchi expects that
Americans will be supplied with valuable
information in the matters of art and ar
tistic household decorations.
On account Of the widespread interest
in wheeling, the exhibition of foreign
made bicycles is likely to prove OF particu
lar interest to many Americans who will
have an opportunity TO compare the for

and Italy " i'll send bicycle exhibits.
In regard to the attitude or Europeans
toward the exposition, Mr.. Macchl said
that in Great Britain especially, where the
products OF the cotton States are largely
used they were quick to appreciate its
Importance.
Most OF the exhibits from abroad are al
ready on their way TO New York, and Mr

Cultivation of tine Rabber Tree.

From time to time the subject of the
cultivation of the rubber tree receives
the attention of the press of this and
other countries, and the wonder is ex-
pressed why such an experiment is
never carried to a successful COM
p%letion, save Hardware. 1t has been
attempted even in the United States,
for this Government took pains, fifty
or sixty years ago, to plant some trees
in Florida, and those trees may be
there yet, but so far as financial re-
suits are concerned, it is hardly prob
able that ten cents in revenue from
them was ever received. Scientific
men from the Kew Gardens have taken
money given them out of the Queens
Treasury to investigate the subject,
and after elaborate reports of what
could be done, the whole matter has
fallen into neglect.
In fact, TIE rubber forests of the
Amazon yet unexplored, are so large
that all the New England States could
be thrown into a half dozen spots,
turned around, and yet there would
be plenty Of room to spare. In view
of this plenty, it is almost as absurd
to cultivate rubber as it would be to
rig up an Atlantic or a Pacific, Ocean
over again for the sake of getting
more sea water. What is true of the
Amazon region is true of Assam, Mo-
zambique, Central and Western Africa
and Central America.
Then the expense of cultivation is a
factor. The rubber tree has to be
nearly twenty-five years old before it
can be tapped, and has also to have a
climate rangingfrom seventy to ninety
degrees, and where it rains every day
in the year. Those are the requisites
for the best rubber. Think of the ex-
pense account of growing a rubber
grove. There is also the capital and
interest account Every dollar spent
in planting would be four before the
tree came to maturity, the interest ac-
count making that value readily. The
loss of trees is also very large.-New
York News.

Cut on the -Spy's Ears.

The following is an inciden: Of the
troubles between Spain and the native
Moors in the Murilla district A pa
troll of a Spanish band caught a Moor
in Spanish territory, and, before the
captain heard of the capture cut of
the mans ears. 1t turned out, how
ever, that the Moor was a spy in the
pay of the Spaniards, duly provided
with q safe conduct, and when he
reached the fort his outcry against the
outrage to which he had been subject
ed produced a great effect. He could
never return, he said, to his country,
for the very women would ask him
where were his ears that had heard
news in his own country which he had
carried to the enemies of his people.
He had abandoned a country where
the inhabitants mutilated the dead,
and was now among O people who mu.
tilated the living. When Marshal
Campos heard of the affair he ordered
a court-martial to be held. A member
of the band named Jose Ferreau Riern
confessed that he had cut of the ears
Jose had some time before escaped in
to Moorish territory and taken refuge
at the house OF the spy, who had,
however, given him up to the Spanish
authorities. New York Ledger.

Memorlzed the Words.

or the use OF Spanish in the public
schools, George Atkinson in the Gala
basas, tells Of an experience Of his own.
At Calabasas a few years ago a one Of
the Trustees he visited the school or
the last day. All the children were
Mexicans, and he wanted to sec how
the laws Of the Territory, that all
children should be taught English, waf
working. He was astonished and
pleased at their progress. They could
take up a reader and go through their
exercises with the utmost correctness.
And spell-they could spell the words
with precision and correctness. His
pleasure gave way, however, when no
found that they were no better in
practical English than before. Their
requirement was only "parrot" Eng.
lish. They would say the words, OF
spell them, but had little or no idea Of
their significance. "There is one thing
sure, Says Mr.. Atkinson; "they ought
to learn English, bat they haven't got
the right way yet. In Calabasas dis.
trict $1,000 has been expended on the
school, and yet there is only one Mexi-
can boy there who can speak English"

Across the Yaqui Country.

Charles 7. Naylor, an American
prospector, left the city of chihuahua,
Mexico, eight months ago for a trip
across the Sierra MadIe Mountains and
through the wild and dangerous
try inhabited by the Yaqui Indians.
His trip was made in the search of
silver and gold, and was the most des-
perate undertaking imaginable. Mr..
MAYORS route from chihuahua was by
way OF Tomochic, the town which was
entirely depopulated in an attack
made upon the inhabitants over year
ago by Mexican troops, who massacred
the men, women. and children.
Mr.. Naylor states that in the noun
tains west of the fated town he came
upon a band of about 200 Tomochic
braves who had an almost impenetra-
BILE rendezvous upon which all attacks
of Mexican soldiers had proved futile.
Upon observing that MIR. Naylor was
an American bent upon a ~peaceable
mission, he was we'll received. He
spent two weeks with the Tomochics
and then entered the YGqui country.
1t was there that he met with difficult
ties. He was captured by a band of
Yaquis and held prisoner several days
pending a decision from the chiefasto
what disposition should be made of
him. After several solemn councils
by the chief with the other prominent
members of the tribe, MI. Naylor was
placed upon a horse and with two
wounded Indians as guards was started
across the country toward the west.
He passed through a number of vii
lagos and was never permitted to tar
ry longer than one night at q 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.
Mr.. Naylor tells some marvellous sto-
ries of the mineral richness of the
Yaqui country and states that the
number of members of the Yaqui tribe
has been greatly underestimated. He
claims to have seen fully 5000 armed
braves. Some of the Indian towns
contain handsome chapels and build
ings, all of Aztec architecture. Mr..
Naylor is the first white man that is
known to have crossed the Yaqui
country. There have been numerous
attempts made, but the Yaquis always
interfered. This is the only tribe in
Mexico which has never been con-
quered. Chicago Times.

A Modern Robinson CrusOe.

The Yomiuri tells us of a Mr.. Wada
Heihachi of Tokushima-ken, who is
likely to have a very poor time of it
this winter. He started last summer
with the intention of settling in Hok-
kaido, but on arriving at Hakodate
persuaded the captain of Fl. l. j. NJ.
S. Iwaki to take him on a surveying
expedition to the Kuriles, and to leave
him on an uninhabited island quite to
the north of the Kuriles. Here he de-
termined to settle, in spite of all ex-
postulations. AS he had only a few
thin clothes and three sacks Of cleaned
rice it is feared that he will fare very
badly. in spite of his intention of sub
sisting mainly on seaweed and fish.
The man-of-war's men built him q
small hut before they left him for his
winters adventure. Japan Mail.

Titled Executioners.

That the degree of NJ. ID. should
ever have been conferred upon a man
or men solely on account of his or
their proficiency in cutting off human
heads sounds highly improbable, but
it is an historic fact that such an
honor was once actually accorded to
two executioners ut Stuttgart. A
sword kept at the museum at this
place has this queer legend or inscrip.
ton engraved upon the blade: "Do
no wrong and no harm will betde
thee"
This is the implement of death that
was successfully used by four brothers,
Marcus, Jakob, Andreas aud Johann
Bicknell, four hardened Williams who
occupied the chair" as chief execu'
toner at Stuttgart, the old royal resi-
dence and metropolis of Wurtemburg,
between the years 1860 and 1861. The
instrument, which is a clumsy but
horrid looking affair, is said to have
done death TO no fewer than Bib
criminals during the reign of the
brothers Bicknell alone. In the year
1850 the Emperor Ferdinand happened
to arrive in Stuttgart at the moment
when two culprits were being led to
the block. which stood upon what was
known as the "Cheese," a circular in
closure of boards filed in with earth.
The Emperor watched every detail OF
the execution, which was performed
by the two oldest of the BickneD
brothers, Marcus and Jakob, and lie
said to have been ''higbly pleased"
In fact, he must have been really de-
lighted with the artistic u With
which the duty was discharged, for we
are told that she then and there con'
ferred upon the brothers the title OF
Doctor, and from that moment they
were authorized and empowered tc
practice as physicians and surgeons to
the best of their abilities. st. Louis

A Nomad,s Life in Mexico.

We journeyed. day by day over the
hills and up the canons, camping by
night under the pines in mountain
glsdes or deep ravines, where the sun
sets at four o'clock, while it is light
above. The moon was in the full and
the nights were frosty, and many times
we awoke to think sit morning when
only our heads had become uncovered
by the blankets and the big white
moon shone fair upon us. Getting up
in the night to poke the fire and thaw
the ~stiffening out of ones legs is called
by the boys playing freeze-out" and
We all participate in the game. A
cigarette at two o'clock in the morn
ing, with ones back to the fire, while
the moon looks down on you, your
comrades breathing about you, a wolf
bowling m~ournfully from a neighbor-
ing hill, the mountains towering on
every side, and the tall pines painting
inky shadows across the ghostly grass,
is a mild sensation and rather pleas
ant. Some of the men are on foot,
from soring their horses backs, and
their buckskin boots are wearing out,
so they sit about the fire and stitch.
We are all very dirty. and I no longer
take comfort in watching the cook
make the bread, for fear I may be
tempted to ask hin if he will not wash
his hands, whereat the boys may indi-
cate that / am q "dude, "and will look
down on me. The -four is nearly
gone, and shortly it will not matter
whether the cooks hands are rusty or
not. The coffee and sugar promise to
hold out. When William can no long
er serve "bull gravy" with his fried
meat 1 shall have many regrets, but
they are swamped by the probabilities
of a tobacco famine, which IS immi-
nent. We get deer every day, but to
one not used to a strictly meat diet it
begins to pail. The Indian hunter
takes the stomach of a deer, fills it
with meat, and deposits it under the
Goals. We roast it in slices and
chunks, but l like it better when
"jerked" brown, as it then affords
somewhat more mystery to a taste ell
ready jsded with venison. In travel
ing with pack animals 1t is the custom
to make a days march before hating,

o'clock, or when water is found. Ten
hours march will loosen ones car
