"A Terrible Reign of Warfare just South of
Us-kosts Three Hundred Years.

The uneonquerable Yaqui Indian
tribe, which is again on the warpath
against the Mexican government, has
had remarkable history, A histori
cal review of the conduct of this
mighty tribe. who we're originally
called the Hiaquis, shows that they
are people who, while glorying in
intelligent forms of government, have
ever resented giving allegiance to any
government save their own. Their in
dependent spirit has involved them in
protracted wars covering the last two
centuries, and tens of thousands of
their warriors have sacrificed their
lives in resistance of government by
the whites. The Yaquis inhabit lands
in the northwestern section Of the re-
public Of Mexico, their territory as
granted by the Mexican government
being at present restricted to the lower
valleys of the Yaqui river in the south
ern part of the state of Sonora. They
are engaged principally in farming,
stock raising and mining. They weave
cotton and agaye, make good pottery
and are excellent boatmen. They keep
large stocks of horses, sheep and cattle.
The tribe is allied to the Pimas, and

what he had paid S. for was worth $25
Accidentally this stamp was slipped in
a 25-cent packet and sent to dealer

to find such valuable stamp and he
wrote the sender to inform him what

The English lord, falling in love with
an American heiress and wishing to

him with the stamp as a token of es-

American home it came to a sad end,

"She is an orphan; my father and

her slow, direct way.
"Yes-very."
"And she won't sit still when you
ask her? How very unkind!"
"Oh, she was always very busy, you
know!" said Bernard in some confu-
sion. "a e girls had always plenty to
do, but. thanks to old Miss Selwyn,
that's over now"
The sketch finished, he showed it to
Lady Mildred. who was evidently
much struck.
How clever you are to do so much
with so few touches! | should like to
show it to my father. VIII you, Mr.

harrassing warfare against the gov
eminent for three years. The battle at
Capetemayo, in which the Yaqui chief
tain commanded 4,O00 warriors, was
fought in the third year of this desul-
tory warfare. Later in valley near
Caliente Cajemi's warriors killed 300
Mexicans in one day, the rebels losing
only half that number
Cajemi had entrenched himself so
thoroughly in the San Miguel noun
tains that it was found imnossible to
remove or overthrow his forces. Gen.
Martinez, who had succeeded to the
command of the Mexicans, lured Cafe
mi from his stronghold by sending a
priest to him with treacherous repre-
sensations of desire for peace con-
ference. As soon as lie appeared
Cajemi was seized under Gen. Mar
tinez' orders and cast into prison. A
court-martial adjudged Cajemi guilty
of treason, and he was shot beside the
burial ground of fifty Mexican sol
The betrayal was savagely reyenged

He looked i'll and worn, but in her
eyes a thousandfold more lovable. His
greeting was cordial, but it lacked the
delightful tone of mutual understand
ing. Almost in terror she scanned his
face for the wherefore. but found it
not.
Il did not know that you had come, !"
she said
Il arrived two or three hours ago.
They told me you were somewhere in
the grounds. SO l went to look for
you-as far as the lakeside. Then

Lady Mildreds ebbing spirits came
rushing back in swift flow. She
thought she had key now to his cold
greeting and worn appearance. 1t was
love Of her, she thought, which was
telling upon him; she had accom-
plished her object. she had made Val
dane jealous.

CHATTER xI

Bernard Selwyn had persuaded the
doctor and his family to go to the sea-
side. 1t was a treat which they had
never before enjoyed, and great was
their delight at the prospect. The
doctor. to whom holiday had hitherto
meant no more than the space of time
between Friday and Tuesday, now
procured another doctor to do his work
for him and prepared for couple of
months relaxation. They were very
happy. Bernard. they all agreed, had
behaved remarkably WELL he had
shown such thought and consideration
He was not at all unduly elated at his
prosperity, ana had done just the right
thing in making no radical change UNI
til the will was proved and the tedious
law business completed.
But when the cottage at Bourne
mouth hal been taken, the trains
looked out. and the day Of departure
fixed, Marguerite electrified them all
by gently refusing to go.
II have no right to a farthing Of
Bernard's money" she said "and l
should not feel happy, thank you"
But. but, my dear" spluttered the
good doctor, that's false delicacy. you
know-thats straining point! You
surely may accept favors from the man
you are engaged to-"
Bernard and | are not engaged"

years the Mexican race in general suf-
fered to satiate the Yaqui vengeance
that was being wreaked in repayment
for the treachery Of Gen. Martinez.
Settlers, travellers and soldiers fell
before the unsparing hands of the now
thoroughly aroused and revengeful
tribe On one occasion an entire COM
mand OF eighty Mexican soldiers was
wiped out at Batamatal. The peace
contract of 1897 is utterly set aside in
the present crisis. and there seems
nothing ahead but war to finish. The
war home of the Yaquis being in the
Businesses Of the Sierra Madre range,
the Mexicans have little to look for
ward to. AT best the warfare will be
a losing one to soldiers unfamiliar
with the caves, passes, defiles, gorges,
canons and natural fortresses of such
a rugged country. The natural adj
vantages are decidedly with the

blood and dotted with dead FISH, but
bluefish kill on until exhaustion stops
them, or until the menhaden get into
such shallow water that the bluefish
do not care to follow. Sometimes
these helpless fish are so blind with
terror that they swim ashore and are
piled up in windrows n foot deep. The
bluefish do not eat one-tenth of the
fish they kill, although when surfeited
they are believed by some people to
disgorge their food in order to take in
another meal 1t is estimated that
during a fair season 100000 bluefish
are caught between New Jersey and
Monomoy, and that abous 999 000,0 600
remain uncaught. Thirty or forty fish
are sometimes found in the stomach
of one bluefish, but placing a blue
fsh's kill at only ten per day it will be
seen that during their four months
yearly stay on the New England coast
they destroy about 100000, 600, 000, 900
fish, and that is excluding the vast
numbers of minute fish eaten by little
bluefish, which are not included in the
estimate. Carried into ayoirdupois, it
is calculated that 2,5O0,000,00O pounds

A Musical Plant.

A musical plant is to be found in the
West Indies, Nubia, and the Soudan. 1t
is of the acacia tribe, and has a pecul-
iar-shaped leaf, and pods with split or
open edge. As the wind blows through
them it gives out a sound similar to
that of whistling. In Barbados. when
the trade winds are blowing across the
island, these trees give out a constant
moaning, deep-toned whistle, inter-
spersed with sounds similar to "fah,"
me-" or other half tones, which in the
still hours of the night have a weird
mournful effect. The sound given by
those of Nubia and the Soudan are
caused by the ravages of insects, whose
larvae insert themselves into the
trunks, causing them to swell and be-
come distorted. After these have been
Matched and leave their nests, the wind
acts upon the open spaces, producing
understanding tones similar to those
OF flute. Many strange and often
pleasing sounds are heard in the dense
tropical forests of the east, which are
caused in the same manner.

Bernard saw that he had started an
unwelcome topic lie adroitly changed
the subject.
The water was the great feature OF
the Clarisdale estate 1t was a beau
tiful irregular-shaped lake. with
small island in the middle, much USED
for picnics. Bernard thought there
might be many worse ways OF spend
ing a summer afternoon than seulllns
idly in the shade Of the great trees on
the CLASSY surface Of the water, with
Lady Mildred's proud, sweet face be-
fore him. shaded by her wide-brimmed
hat.
A long silence fell upon both during
the latter part Of that row, and as they
walked slowly home together under
saffron-colored evening sky they hard
ly spoke at all. Lady Mildred was
thinking that her companion. with
twenty thousand a year TO back him,
was more than endurable Bernard
was wishing that Marguerite could
have the advantage Of a few lessons
in the art of dress from Lady Mildred.
He wished so even more when her
ladyship walked into the drawing
room some time later, her elear-cut
face and plant figure set off by ame-
thyst-colored plush, which caught the
light on all its ripping folds.

HONOLULU BELLIES.
A Soldier Rhapsodizes Over Their Lam
guorous Beauty.

People rave for hours over the Ian
gushing Spanish girls, but like the
native song sing, Give Me the Homo
lulu Belle" whose graceful form,
though nearly concealed meath the
flowing gowns, can be family discerned
through the clinging folds, and whose
thoughts and passions can be read in
the shy glances from their telltale eyes.
They are rather dark, we'll developed
even at an early age, with even fea-
lures and large expressive eyes, coal
black hair, intensely white teeth. and
walk leisurely, for this is a tropical
climate. One cannot help admiring
these pleasant, soft-speaking women.
Ihe beautiful flower wreaths, worn as
hat decorations, also tend apart from
their natural attractiveness, to set off
the languishing beauty of these ma
uves. A language that contains but
IL letters in its alphabet, one word
meaning several things, tends to in
nocence Of mind and habits. The
scandals and intrigues without which
the Spanish would perish, are un-
known to the Honolulu belle. and in
her straightforward and candid glance
you can note the elevation of her mind
and purity of her thoughts. They love
madly, too, as many tales bear out.

A UNIQUE EVENT.
Students Between Whom the Senior
Wranglership Is Bracketed.


Wranglership Is Bracketed.
A remarkable and unique event has
happened at the mathematical tripos
at Cambridge this year. Not only is
the senior wranglership bracketed be-
tween two students, but these students
represent the nouvelles couches So
ciales whose presence at our universi-
ties is Transforming, and as we hope
and think, transforming for the better,
the character of our seats of learning,
says, the London Spectator. One of
the senior wranglers, Mr.. George Brit
wistle, began life as a poor boy at
Burnley. His father having died when
he was young and his mother having
to support her young children, the boy
went TO Wesleyan day school, where he
acquired the rudiments of leaning,
and then secured a scholarship at the
Burnley grammar school where his ca
reer was of remarkable kind. He
won two exhibitions which enabled him
to go to Owens college, Manchester.
where he took degree in science. and
then he won an entrance scholarship at
Pembroke college, Cambridge. And
now at the age of % the poor Burnley
youth finds himself at the head of the
learned and promising young men of
England of the present year. His col
league in the senior wranglership, Rag
hernath Paranjpye, is Hindu. edu-
Gated at Ponna and at the University
of Bombay, where he secured a gov
eminent scholarship, and afterward
went to st. Johns college, Cambridge
as a foundation scholar. His subtle
Hindu intellect, combined with hard
work. has enabled him to become
senior wrangler, and we are glad to
note that when the lists were read out
in the senate house this Hindu fri
umph was greeted with enthusiasm.
We think We are right in saying that
this double event constitutes a very
important fact.

person that can manage you, Mar

steadily. only l am not going to

There was no shaking her decision.
Her will was indomitable, and uncon-
sciously she Influenced all Wit,
quiet tact she persuaded them all TO
start without her. and lived on bv
herself in the dull. close London
house. looking eagerly each day for a
possible answer to the advertisement
which Bernard had inserted in the
West Of England newspapers.
Had Valdane Martineau known OF
that advertisement it would have oc.
casioned him some uneasiness
rather strange thing had occurred IN
the morning the day after he paid his
visit TO the Stelings' house hox
OF exquisite, cut. dollhouse flowers had
arrived for Miss Lilbourne. No mes.
sage or card accompanied them and
Marguerite was thoroughly mystifed
Mary thought that Bernard had sent
them. but on being written to on the
subject. he was obliged to disclaim
any knowledge of them. Each day ar
rived a fresh selection of choice and
delicate blossoms they were brought
by man from a floral depot. who
knew nothing Of the person who had
ordered them or anything about it.
Marguerite loved flowers and. left
alone in her glory, she grew to hail the
daily arrival of the fragrant treasures.
One day, soon after she was left
alone, Mr.. Martineau called. His os-
tensible reason was to say that he was
going to Clarisdale the next day, and
he asked whether there was anything
he could do for her before he left.
She thought it was very kind of him
TO take so much trouble, and thanked
him warmly. He stayed a long time.
and she gave him tea in the drawing
room. which was almost fun of those
lovely flowers. He bent to smell one
Of . bunch Of tea-rosebuds, and re-
marked that they were very fine for
London Hereupon she innocently re-
vealed the fact that she did not know
who had sent them.
"But it is some one who is very
kind" she said-"some one who knows
what flowers are to Londoners. Each
morning / am always afraid it will be
the last time. think shall cry when
they leave off coming"
1.-THE sender would feel more than
repaid If he or she could but see how
the gift is appreciated" returned Val
dane gravely.
"You are fond of flowers. too" said
Marguerite. Il knew you were by the
way you noticed these when you came
in. Won't you have a rosebud?

Locomotive Runs.

During the past few months, the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad has ma
terially extended the runs of the pas
senger locomotives on through trains.
Formerly engines were changed on an
average every 100 or $50 miles. 1t was
thought that the mountain grades of
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad would
prevent an extension of the runs. How
ever, the experiment was made. 1t has
proved successful and reduced the
number of locomotives formerly re-
quired by twenty-four, which can be
used in other branches of the service
and save the purchase of more motive
power. Under the new plan, locomo-
tives are double crewed and make from
1000 to 5000 miles month, as against
$500 to 1000 under the former method.

A VALUABLE STAMP.

In the year 1851 12-penny black
Canadian postage stamp was printed
by the government at Ottawa. The
public did not regard this somber issue
with favor, so few were issued. One of
these stamps was sent to the Hamilton
postoffice, where it was sold to an old
gentleman, who said it was a shame to
print the queens picture on a stamp
that might be handled by profane
hands. Tenderly the old gentleman put
it on parcel, sending it to friend in

basket, it lay for many day, till an
