SPEAKING THE CACTUS.
Customs of the Natives of the mexl

Customs of the Natives of the Mexi-
 can State of SfnaIoa.
 Sinaioa iss long state, comparable almost with Chile. asrit lies along the west coast of Mexico; just as Chile lies along the PacfYic shore of South America.
 Like most new countries, the most interesting part eff this fertile state is its inhabitants, possibly because the country is so fertile. Game is abun- dant and easily caught, and the fruit of the great pithaya cactus is ripe almost from season to seaDon Every native, whether mounted or afoot-and most natives Eide-carries slender stick ten feet long, sharpened at one end and the point hardened with fire.
 One supposes these sticks to be rath- Indian spear a cactus fruit from a branch seven or eight feet above his head These pithayas contain many seeds and little blood red pulp, all of which, except the spines, is food for the Indian.
 All day long these Indian men wan der through the jungle, a wall of green broken only here and there by the old trails of half wild cattle, gathering the cactus fruit It would seem that some would be dried or at least taken to the brush jacal, which represents home to the Indian. But, no; he sits down and eats what he gathers immediately. If his wife wants any of the fruit she goes and gets it herself. She also gathers the food for the babies.-For- est and Stream.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

It fs said that if common table salt n added to gasoline, spots can be cleaned on silks or other delicate fa- or1cs without leaving a ring.
 idn colored linens should never be put into bluing water when washed. In washing blue linens, always add a little vinegar to the last rinsing.
 When hot cloths are needed, either Tor household or medical purposes in- stead of wringing them out of boiling water. heat them in the steamer.
 Half an egg shell with a hole in the end makes useful little funnel 1t will be more desirable if the shell Is slightly Drowned in the stove.
 To stiffen ribbons put a tablespoon full of sugar in about cupful of wa ter and rinse the ribbons in it. When pressed they will be even stiffer than new.
 To remove iodine stains, wet in cold water or milk, cover with corn starch and let stand until all stains disappear, changing cornstarch II ne cessary.
 Oftentimes when moving a piece of furniture. especially if it is heavy' the mating will receive an ugly tear. Darn the mating with raffia in col ors to correspond.
 Cream of tartar will remove rust from dresses. Boil the dress for about one hour in three gallons of water, with one tablespoonful of cream of tartar for each gallon.
 To clean walls, take about four handfuls of flour, mix with water in to quite a stiff dough and proceed to rub the walls when all dust and dirt will be removed.
 If the broom used for brushing the rugs is plunged into salt water and then shaken free of superfluous mo1s- ture, the rugs will be brighter than II suont with a dry broom.
 Palms and other plants often suffer from dust They should be washed with a sponge at least once a week and the more fragile kind should be sprayed with lukewarm water.
 Instead of using water with soap, ammonia or kerosene try using dena- tured alcohol for cleaning windows. Moisten one cloth with the alcohol and polish immediately with dry one.
 If a porcelain baking dish becomes discolored on the inside, fill it with three days. The acid in the milk will remove all semblance Of stain.
 Aboiled custard sometimes scoa- rates because it is overcooked. Next time this happens. beat the custard very hard with an eggDeater. ana you will be rewarded by having 1t smooth and creamy.
 If new wick to a coal lamp is thoroughly saturated with good vine gar and then perfectly dried before being placed in the lamp, the lamp will never smell badly, no matter how low it is turned.
 Clean brass as usual, rub it over with a cloth dipped in vaseline and afterwards polish with dry duster. This will keep it from getting tarn- ished so quickly, even in the dampest weather.
 Very pretty striped effects are found in the cotton and linen mixture designed especially for furniture cover .ings. It is quite as satisfactory as the all-linen fabric and costs about a third as much.

PADS AND FASHIONS

Persian patterns are seen in cotton and silk crepes; sometimes they form ! the entire garment
 Among the new ribbons are those of solid color edged with silver, gold or some other metallic shade.
 Big. wide bows of Chantilly lace shaped butterflies make a very chic trimming for a large hat. Vests for street suits are of bright ,ceriee or blue and are trimmed with black or gilt buttons.
 Folds or cordings of Persian silk are lfavorite trimming for the blouse or natural pongee.
 Bright. iridescent materials will be used just as persistently as in the spring, but always yelled.
 A vivid grass green is a favorite lining for the new navy blue voiles so much in vogue this spring. Hats of Milan straw. closely resem- bling the pagoda in shape. are among the natty hats for children this sum- mer.
 Very smart indeed are the petticoats Of black and white checked tahetaS with pipings of bright colored silk.
 Handbags of cretonne are among the novelties. A white silk cord takes dle
 Powered net shirred over a white Neapolitan straw hat makes a novel and pretty effect for dressy summer hat
 Red buttons and red embroidery give a note of contrasting color to pongee frocks. whether in blue or in natural color
 Among the novelties in buttons are those of hand-carved ivory and also of rear1. Some of them are mounted in silver
 The assortment of travelling cases of mating is larger than ever. Metal or leather corners do much to save wear on tLe case.
 Fruits are used as ornaments for the dressy coiffure today. Cherries are the favorite. though grapes and other small fruits are seen
 One of the newest rosettes for mil linery use is made of tiny flowers which are first sewed into a chain. and then wound round the hat
 Huge insects. which cover the entire front of a low necked bodice are em- broidered in Oriental cOlorS or picked out with beads or jet
 Very practical are the one-piece sailor suits made of the black and white checked linens. Emblems en- broidered in red are on the sleeves and shield.
 Black gloves for the street nave wide white bands of stitching; others are stitched with the color, even the seams being sewed with the color
 A great many detachable frills and pleats are in vogue, so that white waists may be worn with different colored skirts and harmonize with them all
 With the barnyard trimmings which are so much sought for. the straw brafds-so coarse that one wonders that they hang together-are the first choice.
 Patent leather ties with suede vamps in lighter shades are worn on the street With these stockings are worn that match the walking costume ex- actly.

PEARL DIVERS OF JAPAN.
Women and Young .oirIs.Who Arc Ex
 pert Swimmers.

Women and Young .oirIs.Who Arc Ex-
 pert Swimmers.
 The pearl divers of Japan. are the women. Along the coast of the bay of Ago and the bay of Gokasho the thirteen and fourteen year old girls, after they have finished their primary school work, go to sea and learn to dive. They are in theSwater and learn to swim almost from babyhood, and they spend most of their time in the water except in the coldest season, from the end ofDecember to the be- ginning of February.
 Even during the most indictment of seasons they sometimes dive for pearls. They wear a special dress, white un- derwear and the hair twisted up into a hard knot. The eyes are protected by glasses to prevent the entrance of water. Tubs are suspended from the waist.
 A boat in command of a man is as- signed to every five to ten women divers to carry them to and from the fishing grounds. When the divers ar rive on the grounds they leap into the water at once and begin to gather oys- ters at the bottom. The oysters are dropped into the tubs suspended from their waists
 When these vessels are filed the div CTS are raised to the surface and jump into the boats. They dive to depth Of from five to thirty fathoms without any special apparatus and retain their breath while remaining under water from one to three minutes. Their ages vary from thirteen to forty years, and between twenty-five and thirty-fve they are at their prime.-New York Sun.

Paraauax Lace.

The heart of man is never as hard as his head-Lamartine
 Paraguay Laoe.
 Making lace by hand is we'll de veloped art in Paraguay. Hwas taught the natives 200 years ago by the mis- sionaries and has been transmitted from generation to generation till it is now quite general throughout the re- public. Some towns are devoted to making a certain kind of lace. In one town of 5000 or 5000 inhabitants al most all the women and children and many of the men make lace collarets, handkerchiefs and ladies' ties An other town makes lace embroidery and others drawn thread work, such as centerpieces, tray mats, teacloths and doilies. The designs used in making the lace are taken from the curious webs of the semitropical spiders that are so numerous there. On this ac- count it is called "nanduti," an Indian name which means spider web.

B0KHARA THE NOBLE.

A City That Does Not Live Up to Its
 High Sounding Title.
 The same manaers and customs pre- vail in the Bokhara of today that were familiar to our night prowIing friend of Basuad. A blindfolded horse still plods round and round beneath a beam, grinding the corn between an upper and a neither millStone. The cotton is still carded by the primitive agency of a double bow, the smaller one affixed to the ceiling and the larger one at tached to it byAa cord and struck by mallet so as to cause . sharp rebound. The reis-i-shRriat, or censor of the morals, still rides slowly through the town, compelling the children to at tend the schools and their parents the mosques inspecting the weights and measures and keeping a watch over the behavior of the community as a whole. When a tradesman is found guilty of cheating be is stripped bare in the street. forced to his knees and logged with.a stirrup leather by one of the eensor's attendants.
 The world moves slowly in Bokhara- The city gates still close with the set ting sun. After dark no one is allow ed abroad, the only sound at night be- ing the melancholy beating of the watchmaa's. drum as he patrols the streets with, a lantern in his quest, un- like Diosenes, of a dishonest man.
 With its filth, fanaticism, vice, cru city and, corruption, Bokhara the No ble, as it's people insist on calling it, comes nearer to being hell on earth than any place know. and that is the best that can say about it.-E. Alex ander Powell in Evsrybody's.
