Sometimes the houses are rectangular
and built of adobe, cajonS (adobe mud
nodded into walls), or stone plastered
with adobe mud, sacaton. grass or Okla
tilla stems. The adobe construction
is adapted from the Mexicans and has
not been long in use. Such houses
usually have smoke-holes some even
have rude chimneys and are provided
with rain spouts.
The adjacent shelter (vah-toh) con
s1sts OF four, nine or more crotched
posts Of mesquite or paleyerde, set in
a rectangle and carrying stringers of
mesquite and cross-sticks of okatella;
sometimes matched carelessly with.

leafy shrubbery, sticks, hides, blankets,

consists Of series Of mesquite posts
four or five feet high, set in circle
four to six yards in diameter, connect

a doorway, by two or three horizontal
binders to which a layer of sacoton
grass is dashed. During fair weather
and nearly all days are fair in.
Papagueria culinary operations are
performed in this airy structure: it is
only during stormy weather that fires
are built in the houses. Toward mid
day men, women and children take
refuge from the burning desert sun,
whose rays are intense beyond ina gin
ing in humid lands, under the vah-toh,
or in the house. At night the men usu-
ally sleep either out in the open or UNI

is to be remembered that the Papago

A BANANAS STORY.

MY home is in Trinidad, an islano
in the West Indies, and have relations
living throughout all tropical coun-
tries. am an important fruit, and a
fayorite with most people, as my flesh
is rich, and delightful to the taste. In
Tahiti our family have an acid flavor.
The plant on which I grow is from
fifteen to twenty feet shigh, and has
from twelve to fifteen long, ruff1ed
leaves. At the end of nine months,
deep purple bud appears in the centre
OF the leaves; its constantly lengthen
ing stem soon pushes it beyond the
leaves, and it hangs down like huge
heart. .. II
AS the purple envelopes Of the bud
fall off, rows of buds are disclosed,
extending two-thirds around the stem.
Each miniature banana has waxen
yellow blossom, with a large projecting
stigma at the end. The female flowers
come first on the stem, and nearer the
end are the smaller male flowers; both
contain much good honey. During ma
turity the rows of male flowers wither
and drop off, while the ovaries- of the
female blossoms swell into bananas.
& There were several hundred of us on
our bunch, and in three months we
were each about ten inches long, wear
ling a dark-green coat. One fine day
the planter came along with his don
key cart and proceeded to cut us
down. -. ~;
It was not very long before we were
carefully packed with straw in ship,
and after few days, landed at large
port. Here the railroad car awaited
us. Our bunch, with a few others, was
left in a country town, with grocer.
| During this long trip we ripened, and
changed our green coats for bright
yellow ones; but if we had been left to
ripen on the plant, we should have
been much more pleasing to the taste.
Five of my companions and were
soon sold to lady. She seemed to be
a teacher of language; for she gave me
to student as subject to write about,
and I am now in his room. Dear me,
he is taking my coat off !. Here I go
on another journey - goodbye! -

INDIAN MINTS.
A Report That They Are Soon to
Reopen For Free Coinage.

DENVER, Aug. A special to the
Times from Washington, d. c., says:
Information has been received here
from London through private channels
to the effect that the Indian mints are
to be opened to free coinage, and the
assertion is made that this will occur
at an unexpectedly early date. The
report of. the Indian Commission is tc
be published before the 1st of Septem-
Der, and this is expected to throw some
light upon the details Of the matter.
The announcement that the import
ant step. of reopening the mints will
take place comes from a source which
is usually reliable. There is a strong
effort to have the ratio changed from
16 to / to % to /, and it is asserted
that a Willingness to assent to this
change has been evinced by both the
United States and France.
The establishment of a ratio of % to
] would have the effect of increasing
the present price Of silver, but it would,
on the other hand. probably prevent
forever the restoration of the ratio of
16 to /.
There is some disposition to doubt
the accuracy of the information, but
this doubt appears to arise largely from
the fact that it is unexpected.

REV. MARTINELLI
talks Of Effects of the Changes in
: Porto Rico and Philippines.

BOSTON, Aug. A. = Most Rev. Sc
pastian Martinellf, the Papal Delegate
an the United States, arrived in Boston
last night making a short stay with
the Jesuit fathers of ST. Mary's Church.
When asked what would be the effect Of
the annexation of Porto Rico 10 the
United States, he answered:
am not a. politician, and do not
know .enugh about the place to tell
Whether it will be benefit to this
country to own it or not AS far as
the interest of the Porto Ricans is con-
cerned, there is no doubt that they will
profit by the change"
VIII your jurisdiction as Apostolic
Delegate extend to that island when It
as annexed?" he was asked.
That is a question for the Holy See
TO answer, and one upon which | have
mad no communication with the Pope
Political changes do not influence Rome
In the management Of the church. We
can safely say she will do what is for
the best
'Will the church suffer in any way
from the political changes that are
likely to take place in the Philippines
and other Spanish islands,"
Il do not think that any one who
knows the American people would for
a moment entertain a thought that the
church will be in any way interferad
with wherever the United States By
conquest or purchase acquires posses
sion. The change of government will
take place. I suppose; but I expect to
see everything go on as it has in the
past. Priests as well as the people
will be as we'll treated as they are here
in the United States, and the church
will go on doing the good works she
has done in the past, perhaps with a
little more freedom"

PASSENGER RATE WAR.
Canadian Pacific Warned That
Congress Nav Interefere.

CHICAGO, Aug. Ain his argument
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to-day General Passenger
Agent Eustis of the Burlington road
warned the Canadian Pacific that if it
continued shotgun policy toward the
American roads, Congress would inter-
fere and compel it to desist.
Mr.. Eustis spoke for upward of an
hour and a half. In forceful language
he described the evils which, he said,
had resulted from the granting Of diff
lerentials to the Canadian road. He
declared that if the Canadian Pacific
could not conduct business on even
terms with its American competitors
it should not be allowed to take Amer
lean traffic.
He was interrupted several times by
Commissioners Prouty, who asked him
how weaker roads could secure a share
of traffic if they were not granted diff
ferentials.
He declared that the roads handi-
capped by physical disabilities SHOULD
compete for cheaper lines of traffic.
Further catechiZed on the same sub
ject, he admitted that this discrimina-
ton might in a sense amount to grant
ing differentials. He denied, however,
that giving differentials to the Western
roads would prove a remedy for the
present troubles.
He thought the Canadian Pacific
could compete on even terms with its
competitors if it quickened its time,
and he conceded that a share of Amer
lean traffic in the East should be car
ried by Canadian lines. The Canadian
Pacific claimed differentials from Bos-
ton to San Francisco but there were
half dozen roads connecting the
points which possessed greater disad-
vantages than the Canadian. Pacific,
and could claim differentials from it.
When speaking on the futility of ar
bitration in railway disputes, Mr.. Gus
tis digressed a moment to compliment
Mr. McNicoll on the shrewdness he had
displayed in discussing arbitration. He
said Mr.. McNicoll knew what he was
about when he suggested that course.
Otherwise no agreement would have
been reached, and matters would have
stood as before. In making his rec
ommendation to the commission, Mr..
Eustis disavewed on behalf of the
Western roads any desire to exclude
the Canadian line from operating IN
American territory, SO long as it would
consent to compete on even terms with
the American lines. He contended that
differentials, wherever tried, had proven
a failure and he insisted that no nat
ural disabilities which the Canadian
road might possess entitled it to diff
ferentials.
He asked the commission to decide
the extent of the Canadian roads right
to do business in, the United States.
Il have told Mr.. McNicoll if he Will
become a fair competitor neither the
Western lines nor the trunk lines VIII
object to the Canadian line getting its
fair share Of traffic" he said
Mr. Rayman replied in behalf of the
Canadian Pacific, and at the close OF
his argument the commission left for
Washington.
