the alarm. The Spanish fleet drew up
under their strongest fort at Cavite
Dewey moved up the bay and soon after

TAPPING The RUBBER TREE.
How tho Valuable Gum is Extracted IN
South American Forests.

How the Valuable Gum fs Extracted In
South American Forests.
In South America natives are hired
by rubber contractors to penetrate the
forests and secure the gum of the rub
Der tree. This is generally done by
making several vertical incisions up
the trunk of the tree, with others run
ming obliquely into the main or up
right channels. Small clay cups are
fastened to the bark and the rubber
sap or milk allowed to flow into them.
1t is at first about the color and con-
sistency of cream, losing in the pro-
cesses of coagulation fifty-six per cent.
Several methods of congealing the
rubber milk are used, but the one
most commonly practiced is known as
the ''biscuit' process. The sap is
smeared on stock resembling a but
ter ladle or paddle and held over the
smoke obtained by burning forest
nuts. The milk soon thickens on the
paddle, which is repeatedly dipped
into the sap and put through the smok.
ing process, until piece of crude
rubber weighing often fifty pounds is
formed; this when removed has hols
through the centre left by the paddle,
and is termed "biscuit" of rubber.

zuni cuisine and Table nanners.

: The code of differential politenes.
in the home, as taught by the matror
of the casa, is a very definite and ex.
acting one. No matter how hunger.
panged family may be, it will moi
dine until all be present or their ab.
sence accounted for; and as soon as
one has finished eating, all desist.
But it is also an objectionable breach
of etiquette if any one is SO badly
hammered as to stop at his eating
while any other has his hunger still
unsatisfed.
The Zuni cuisine is varied one,
and the dinner, as placed on the floor
before family and its guests, will
sometimes number dozen platos, al
most any one of which is puzzle to Q
stranger. Corn, chiles, meats and
vegetables are the main compoundine
ingredients of most of the dishes, and
the results are generally satisfactory,
although sometimes surprising to an
alien. The greatest delicacy in all
the list, according to native Judgment,
is made of stuffed and roasted Sleeps
intestines, with their original ano
half-digested contents still remain
ing undrawn. A yard or more of the
entrails of an animal, with added bits
of suet, are wound upon spindle-like
stick and toasted. The outside only
is well crisped, and as the eater slowly
unwinds his bologna bobbin during
the course of long dinner, he will
frequently lean it before the hearth
blaze or lay it upon the embers to
continue its roasting. Corn and wheat
breads are made in great variety, and
the yeast for their lightness is pre-
pared by the women, who chew samr
of corn. After being thoroughly mas
ticated the corn is mixed with fine
meal and warm water and fermented
in small ollas left standing near the
fireplace, when lime-four and some
old yeast are added The sa-ko-we,
as Zuni yeast is called, is an excellent
leaven, if one will but strangle his re-
membrance of its molared milling. By
its use, meal made from blue corn will
be changed to green, or yellow meal
to blue during baking. Page

Rubber trees when carefully tapped
yield abundantly for forty or fifty
years, but if the incisions go too deep
the process of decay starts at once,
and their period of productiveness is
over forever. The native gatherers
being paid for the seasons work in
proportion to the number of pounds
of rubber collected, not only bleed the
trees to death, but when the flow OF
milk ceases the larger trees are cut
down and the sap extracted from the
wood. They also mix mandioca meal,
gravel, nails, leaves and almost any.

methods the rubber pirates of South
America and Africa are but fastening
the time of the rubber famine, and
adding to the present enormous profits
derived from cultivated rubber plan

Eggs As Food.


Would it not be wise to substitute
more eggs for meat in our daily diet?
About one-third of an egg is solid
nutriment. This is more than can be
said of meat. There are no bones, no
tough pieces that have to be laid aside.
A good egg is made up of ten parts
shell, sixty parts white and thirty
parts yolk. The white of an egg con-
tains &c per cent. water and the yolk
SO per cent. Practically an egg is
animal food, and yet there is none Of
the disagreeable work of the butcher
necessary to obtain it. The veget-
arians of England use eggs freely; and
many Of these men are eighty and
ninety years old, and have been re-
markably free from sickness. Eggs
are best when cooked four minutes;
this takes away the animal taste,
which is offensive to some, but does
not harden the white or yolk so as to
make them difficult to digest. An
egg if cooked very hard is difficult of
digestion. except by those persons
possessed of stout stomachs; such
eggs should be eaten with bread and
masticated very finely. An egg spread
on toast is fit for a king-if kings de-
serve better food than anybody else.
Fried eggs are much less wholesome
than boiled ones. An egg dropped
into hot. water is not only clean and
handsome, but delicious, morsel.
Most people spoil the taste of their
eggs by adding pepper and salt. "A
little sweet butter is the best dressing.
Eggs contain much phosphorus,
which is supposed to be beneficial to
