An ingenious Chinese military man

there is large, sharp pike

blade about eight inches wide, which
can be used both as an intrenching

YAouls OF MEXICO.
Habits of the Shy People Who Are
Now in Rebellion Again.


Now in Rebellion Again.
The Yaquis, with whom Mexico is
now fighting, are a people who have
long resisted civilization and persist
emily sought to exclude from their
mountain Businesses the whites, and es-
pecially the officials of the Mexican
| government. Especially gr1evous to
the Yaquis is the Mexican law requir-
ing all men to wear trousers When
the Yaquis visit civilized village to
sell their rude pottery, their woven
mats and the few other things they
manufacture, they do not put on their
trousers until they are about to enter
the corporate limits, and on their jour
ney home they take off their hated
garments as soon as they are clear of
the village and put them in little bum
dies on top of their heads.
At ordinary times the Yaquis are re-
served and exclusive rather than hos
tile. They sometimes desert their viii
lagos at the approach Of strangers.
leaving behind them nothing that can
give aid or comfort to the invaders
When the attempt is made to penetrate
their mountain retreats then the Yaquis
take measures of resistance. but even
in this case they often do no more than
block the paths by which the strangers
must advance.
A New Yorker who attempted to pen
citrate into a part of the Yaqui coun-
try some years ago met with these tao
tics. AS he and his companion ap-
preached Yaqui village at the foot of
the mountains they could see the ma
tiyes scurrying off through the brush.
When the travellers reached the village
they found it empty. Even the food
and some of the utensils had been car
ried off. The little matched huts with
earthen floor, standing in the midst of
small bean patches, contained nothing
to excite the cupidity of the least civil
liked visitor.
No violence was offered to the explor-
ers, but as they began to ascend the
mountains they found evidence Of the
peculiar resistance Of the Yaquis.
Great rocks and trees were thrown
across the narrow trail. From time to
time they could see the Yaquis peeping
out at them from behind distant rock.
or in the act of throwing Instructions
across the trail. The resistance became
so determined and effective at the end
of two days that the explorers turned
their backs upon the mountain heights
and retreated to the valley, watched
narrowly by the Yaquis,
Much of the Yaqui country is alto
gether unknown to the civilized Mexi
cans and has never been surveyed bv
the government engineers. There are
extravagant traditions of mineral
wealth in these UNEMPLOYED lands and
one belief current In Mexico Is that the
Yaqui country hides the ruins Of an
ancient and splendid capital. This city
according to tradition, occupies
mountain height not to be approached
save by trails which the Yaquis jeal-
ously guard against intrusion.
The Only strangers with whom fba
Yaquis are on friendly terms are stray
members of the murderous Apache In
dian tribe. Apaches outlawed from
United States territory have found an
asylum in the Yaqui country. They are
likely to prove effective aids to the
Yaquis in The present war.--New York

was the draught from the rear part of
the house. The three windows of the

IN THE RELIGIOUS WORLD.
Y. NJ. G. A. Work in the CoIleees-The
Summer Conference.

In more than 500 American colleges
there is today a carefully organized
Young Mems Christian Association, do
ing Christian work along various lines
for the moral and spiritual welfare of
the students. Each summer four con-
ferences Of college students are held, as
follows: AT Mortified, Mass, for east
ern students; at Asheville N. c., for
southern students; at Lake Geneva,
Wis, for the college men of the middle
west and at Pacific Grove, Cal, for
the institutions on the Pacific slope. All
these conferences for the summer of
1899 have been held. At the four there
were present 1871 students from 1888 in
stitutions. Most Of the leading colleges,
universities, professional and technical
schools were represented.
The summer conference idea had its
beginning In 1856. when Mr.. Moody in
vited the college leaders to Mount Her
man, Mass, for two weeks to be spent
in Bible study and in the discussion
of the best methods of Christian work
among students From this first gather

ferences now held In various parts of
