A New CuriO Field.

Odd implements and curios from Central
America are coming here through the in
creased commerce with Honduras and Mica
ragua. There the population has strong
mixture of Aztec and other aboriginal blood
with the Spanish, and as result, many OF
the implements, as we'll as the customs Of
the Montezumas, are preserved. The long
pipe still in use in the rural sections of both
these Central American states is one of the
most peculiar of the survivals. Many OF
these pipes have lately come here and are
highly prized by collectors. They make pret-
ty wall ornaments, being far more pleasing
to the eye than the old familiar church
wardens." They are strong and durable,
but have to be oiled or vanished every few
months or they are apt to split in dry eli
mate. The pipes are made from a shrub
or sapling which grows somewhat like our
elder. The bush is cut down, the pith ex-
tracted from the stem, which is then peeled,
polished dried and painted with primary col
ors in barbaric style. In the simplest form
the stem is from three to six feet long, al
though a more expensive kind can be had
with two terminal branches. Two persons
can smoke these pipes at the same time,
while three and four stemmed pipes while
sandstone are used for the bowls, the mouth
pieces being of bone or horn or of decorated
silver or amber. BY the length of the stem
the smoke cools before reaching the mouth.
and a rich oriental taste is produced. The
pipes are having quite vogue in the metrop-
oils just now.

Robbing New York.

R0bbAng New York.
Feb. 27-Necessarily the pay roll Of this
city is the largest municipal pay roll in the
world. 1t has now reached the tremendous
proportions OF $400 900 a year. according
to the latest budget, which is many times
larger than anything the public might ex-
pect, Notwithstanding it might be looking
for something enormous This sum is nearly
ten millions more than the cost OF the United
States army at the time of the breaking out
of the war with Spain. 1t is also sixteen
millions greater than the cost of the entire
government of the state OF New York, with
its enormous outlays for the supervision of
the schools, the assistance of that system,
and for the maintenance of the canals, the
prisons, the insane asylums and the militia.
This is a remarkable array of comparative
facts, and at some not distant day there Will
have to be complete overhauling of the list
of city employees and disnlissals and redur-
tions ruthlessly made. Police pay has in
name been fixed by statute, but in reality
the police themselves have fixed their own
salaries, for they have repeatedly secured the
passage Of legislative enactments on the sub
5ect through the most questionable means
To-day the policemen of the city have the
pay OF lleutenants in the army, of instructors
due to this enormous extravaganza that New
York city to-day employs seven thousand
men to patrol the streets and pays them 81

Book auctions have become decided func-

taking the place of the old fake Oriental

money in the new fad, for there are enough
each one seems to support a few people.
Lower Broadway and the adjacent streets,
particularly about Park row and City Hall
park, are literally filled with these places.
In each the auctioneeer seems to be about the
same sort of a personage-a young man with
hair plastered and mustache with a careful
barber's curl at each end. He is evidently

When business gets dull extolling the mar

whirl into literature with more success than
many writer. From morning to night
these auctioneers, all cut from the same pat

the walls of their splaces are shelves well
filled with books The shelves all seem to
be the same and the books sold are appar-

New Wrinkle in Tips.

The walters in various New York restau-
rants have planned a new wrinkle. to get
the tips they look upon as their private
property, and to get then at public dinners
as well as at private affairs Tips have
come to be taken so much as matter of
course that at private dinners no one thinks
of neglecting the walters 40 per cent Of
the check" But public dinners are not as
a rule, remuneratiye to the men behind the
chairs. In the flow of postprandial oratory
they are apt to be forgotten. Therefore the
walters have devised the scheme to start
along glass with collection of small silver
at the bottom at just the period when the
eating stops and the Oratory is about to be
plentifully handed out. With the glass is
the word that the collection is for the men
behind the chairs, and the hint is so broad
that about every one around the tables does
little juggling in the vicinity Of their waist
coat pockets and drops in coin The wait
ers are, therefore, benefited for these public
functions to a better degree than even for
private dinners and suppers At restaurants
OF the Sherry and Delmonco class this sort

FOREIGN SHIPBUILDING

WASHINGTON. March 27.-Accord-
ing to a report to the State Department
by United States Consul Sawter, at
Glauchau, SaXony, the shipbuildng
yards of Great Britain during 1900 turn
ed out 1,422,471 tons of commercial YES
sells, against sol ,G92 tons by all other
countries combined With war ships
added, the respective amounts aggrega-
ted 1,510,S35 and 1053,792. In the last
three years however, says Consul Saw
ter foreign countries have doubled
their output while England has in
creased only 30 per cent. The United
States last year led both Germany and
France, the amounts of tons standing
respectively 35S,577, 26O.271 and 165, 34S
Germany turned out the largest ship,
the Deutschland of 1892 tons. Four
other German steamers had each a
tonnage of over 10000. England built
eight big ships, four being of 1900 tons
each and the Minnehaha 13403 France

sHAMROCK,s LAUNCHING.
Marchioness of Dufferin Will Christen
the Boat April 20.

Sir Thomas Upton has made ar
engagements to launch the Shamrock
H. and the ceremony has been definite
ly fixed for April ~. the marchioness
of Dufferin will chrlsten the yacht. The
attempts last week to dredge the chan
mel deep enough to float the challenger
failed, owing to the shifty nature of
the bottom For a time it looked as
if this might give rise to serious diff
culties, because the long fin and heavy
ballast demand 20 feet of water, which
it is impossible to get In this dilemma
Mr.. Watson devised an ingenious plan.
This involves a huge Water-tight box
of sufficient buOyancy to carry the
whole weight of the yacht. The box
is being built around her underbody in
such a fashion that the whole of the
hollow between the body of the yacht
and the fin will be filled up. 1t is cal
culated that this will float six feet
above the normal water line of the
yacht and that when deem water is
reached ii can be knocked away. One
result of the use of the contrivance will
be that the underbody will be hidden
as the yacht goes down the ways, and
ii viii be impossible to get a complete
photograph of her.

the finest shafts in the west, is down HOO feet and work of opening up the different levels is already far ad- vanced. The shaft house and hoist are the best in Arizona and excellent pieces of work. As a matter of safety the buckets carrying men slow up and nearly stop at each station, and so n dial indicating the different depths is hung before the engineeh and worked from the hoisting engine.

PATAGONLAS FUTURE.

The little town of Patagonia, which not long ago worked up county seat boom In Santa Cruz county, and which, by the way. fell with big hole in it, seems to be rapidly coming to the front. Its mining future seems to be considerably better than its political past.
 Patagonia is the center of a mining district which is daily growing in i'm portance. Mines are scattered all about within a radius of thirty miles and all of these are showing good pros poets. A car of ore was recently sent to Fl Paso from the Jefferson camp but on the news recently received regarding the resumption of operations by the shelter further shipments have been stopped and there is an ever accumu- lating dump of pay ore. which will be sent down to Patagonia before the end of the current month.
