Tapanese Oiled Paper.

AS cover for his load of tea when a
rainstorm overtakes him, the Japanese
farmer spreads over it a tough, pliable
cover of oiled paper, which is almost as
impervious as tarpaulin. and as Tight as
a gossamer. He has doubtless carried
this cover for years neatly packed away
somewhere about his coat. The 'rikisha
coolies in the large cities wear rain man
ties of this oiled paper, which costs less
than Is cents, and last for a year or
moro with constant use.

green, hecked with spl0tches and masses of gorgeous color where flowers and blossoms of trailing vines spread their brilliant beauty. Thousands of that variety of acacia named the "bird of paradise" reared aloft their exquisitely beauti- full blooms; great purple morning glories, as broad as ones hand ', lifted to the rising sun their bell like corolla; delicate pink blossoms of the sanmigueIito, running vine that climbs everywhere, and is laden with strings of narrow clust- CTS many feet in length, of dimin- utive flowers, stretched over trees and bushes their exquisitely beauti
 full garlands; and scores of other flowers, unknown to northern climes. whose names 1 know not, and whose manifold beauties find myself powerless to describe, ad
 ded to the beauty of the scene, and maintained the interest of the journey all the rest of the way.
 At Las Lomas a ranche), five leagues from Alamos, the stage made a much needed change in animals, and we got light break fast, consisting of an egg, a cup of coffee and a tortiLLd. With fresh mules, and a down hill road, the remaining distance was covered in much better time than that made in the night. From the point mentioned the line of the railway follows the wagon road, and all along there are grading camps, and completed portions of the ter raplane. In one place masons were making the cement piers for a large steel bridge, and at another party of engineers were laying out the work to be done. Being Sunday none of the laborers were at work, but were in their camps resting and relaxing themselves with the usual sports and games of the working classes in Mexico
 From Navajoa to Alamos the road follows up the valley of the Mayo to Tesla, distance of about ten kilometres. and at the present writing the track is laid to that point whence the grade Is now ready for the track to Victoria, a new station. fifteen kilometres far ther, which Is a point few klo- metres southwest from Tres Har- manos, a haciendG on the river where the writer stopped over night on the first of January, 1905, and was very hospitably entertained by Mir. Francisco Obregon, who was mdyord0mO for the owners, the Salido family. Mir. David E. Roy, who has married one of the fair daughters of the Salido family, re- sides now at Tres Hermanos. and the new railway station, Victoria, Is named in honor of that lady. At this writing the tracklaying machine is due on the Alamos branch to lay the rails to Victoria, and within two or three weeks trains will be running to that point. From Victoria the line of the railway bears in a southeast erly direction to Alamos, which is about forty kilometres distant. It is anticipated now that the rails will be laid into this city in Janu- ary next, or early in February.

 mules, two on the pole, and three abreast in the lead. Beside the driver there was a soto a sort of dismounted postilion) who rode alongside the driver in front, and whose duty 1t was to aid in getting speed out of the overloaded team bv the use of short whip with long lash that he welded in his left hand, varying the operation by running alongside at times and plying his whip with great vigor, shouting, yelling and whistling at the mules, and varying their pun ishment by pelting them with rocks.
 A few miles from Navojoa the road crossed deep, sandy arroyo, the ascent out from which was very steep, and on that the outfit stalled. In vain did the driver and his swamper ply their lashes, and rend the atmosphere with their shouts and cries. The mules could not budge the vehicle Then the passengers alighted to diminish the weight by about quarter of ton, but 1t was of no avail. The vehicle was stuck, with the rear wheels resting upon the sandy bed of the stream, and the fore wheels up the bank. After several at- temps to start the driver resorted to the expedient of backing down so the front wheels would be level with the others. Then with the driver and his helper flashing the mules with their whips, and each passenger yielding a stalk of the tough tabacon Indian tobacco) upon their devoted ribs, the desperate animals made supreme effort, and went up the grade.
 The schedule of the line Is some what peculiar in that the run from Navojoa to Alamos is made in the night, and the return in the day. As but two crews are employed the result Is that any arrangement that can be made takes both at one end of the road at the same time, and as a consequence each has to make the round trip without rest, and then lay over while the other goes the round. The crew were on the return run, and they were very tired. In little while the driver handed the lines to the swamper and went to sleep, and 1t was all the boy could do to keep awake. After an hour or so the driver awoke and resumed the reins, while the swamper slept. Then the big man changed seats with the swamper, who curled himsel in the seat in front, and went to sleep again. Stretched out beside the driver the large passenger went to sleep, and so did the driver; also the boy from Nogales. The writer, cramped up in a most discomfort. able position was the only one who was not sleep. Left to them selves the mules struggled along at a snaiPs pace, up the steadily ris- ing grade, and at times 1t seemed as though they were about to stop altogether. Occasionally the driver would awake for moment, gather up his whip, fiirt it at the mules and lapse into slumber. Dragging along in that way it seemed that the night would never end.
 When daybreak came we were still dragging along toward the tor of the divide that is crossed be.
