FATE OF AN INDIAN MURDERER
Queer Capital Punishment Among a
Primitive Mexican Tribe.

Speaking of primitive law among the
Mexican Indians brings to nina most
curious case that was told me some
years ago in the state OF Oaxaca by an
old Zapoteca chief who had become
convert to Christianity. He said that
a long while ago while an American
botanist was travelling through the
mountains of Oaxaca studying the rare
and beautiful fora OF that region, he
had with him mozo from another
part OF the country. He carried eev-
eral gold pieces sewed in the lining OF
his jacket. The mozo became aware
of that fact, and one day when the
botanlst got down on his knees to
drink at little snrlng, the mozo cut
his head off with a machete, took the
gold pieces and fed to the higher ST.
erras.
Not long after the body was found
by some Zapoteca Indians, who had
seen the botanist in former days study
ing the flowers and plants near their
village. They knew that he was a
harmless and good man, because he
loved flowers. All Mexican INDIANS
love flowers. SO they took the body 20
the chief and told MIN what they had
seen and found.
What" he said, shall the kind
stranger with the white face, who
loved flowers and sought not our
goods, nor insulted our women, come
to such dogs death among us and
not be ayeTged2'

An Interest1ng Experiment.

The customs authorities are watch
ing an interesting experiment now be-
ing made in the United States bonded
stores to restore the commercial value
of 146 cases of champagne which was
frozen during the blizzard in railroad
cars while being transported in bond
from New York to Philadelphia. The
wine came on the French steamship La
Bretagne from Havre to New York, and
was consigned to a well-known club in
this city. AS n rule, experts state that
frozen champagne should be consumed
at once or it is valueless. AS this could
not be done in this case, the wine was
stored in the warm cellars of the bond
ed stores, which are below the surface
of the earth, and where there is always
uniform temperature. 1t was noticed
that there was n deposit of cream of
tartar in the bottles, which, the gov
ernment officials think, if gradually dis
solved in the warm temperature of the
bonded stores, will restore the wine to
its former value.-Philadelph Record.

INADEQUACY OF WORDS.
At Times Language Fails to Fully
Impart the State of Mans
Feelings.

In some things the power of man
seems woefully deficient, and one of
these is his language, which is as yet
inadequate to do justice to the opera
tions of nature. Stirring as it may be,
the ordinary account of mighty event
Is generally far beneath what it might
be. The description of a wreck may
cause us to shudder slightly, but there
is no approach to the feeling that would
arise in us could we but behold the oc-
currence itself, and no combination of
words and sentences can bring the
whole truth home to US. We look from
the portfolios of our stateroom and see
the water dashing itself against the
side of the ship. Then the vessel rises
out of the wave, and we can look out
on mountainous tumbling masses that
raise their heads in ominous portent.
Where the sky should be the clouds are
scudding by as if driven by some terrific
fear. We hear the shrill piping of the
boatswain's whistle and the running of
the feet of men overhead. How the
hours drag and drag by until there
seems to be no end coming to the mer-
ciless pounding of the sea. However
cheerful we may make ourselves ap-
pear, fear is in our hearts, fear of that
nerve-consuming sort that takes away
all energy and leaves us as if without
support. Better would it be to have
the crashing of timbers and the break
ing of plates than this long waiting in
uncertainty. Every day seems like Il
year, and yet the storm only grows
worse and whistles and Kisses fright
fully. And if the worst does come, the
hardest thing is to realize that we, we
who have all our lives been in and near
and around danger, and who yet have
never seen it, are at last within it's
clutches. Literature alone as it is can
never make us realize these things per-
fectly. Nor can art, which may give us
nevertheless the benefit of magnificent
representations. And here is the power
of the drama that unites both liter
ature and art and combines them with
action. If it is possible to move us, we
shall be moved, and the truth will be
brought home more fully and more
sharply than in the other ways.-De-
