According to II. N. Themiii-fin, the Chinese have a prac tical monopoly of the trade. Tho forests tit the head of the upper Namkong basiu are rich in rubber, and the tret is attain a height el' HM 1V t, with enorinous girth.

Tho Afifani fupply is fed maiuly by tho Nacas, who, having got in their crops in December, set off for tho rub ber forests within the drainage area of tho Tareu river, where they know every tree, the knowledge being in many cases passed on from father to son. Tho rubber in this district is paid to bo growing fo scarce that it often takes a man 40 days to collect a cooly load. Iu Epito of this, tho t?ingpho villages levy n tax on each collector. When first col lected, the rubber is very pure, but tho Nagas have acquired tho trick of adul terating it with earth aud Ftonep, and tho Assam rubber is not regarded with favor in the Calcutta maiket. It is a poro point with tho Chineso merchants that tho Nagas ko exhaust tho capacity of tho rubber to receive adulteration that thero is no opening left for the ex ercise of their own iugeunity in tho same direction.

AND The lVrfectlou of Their Maimers Neither Dre Nor Money Will Secure Admission Into Good Families The Mexican's Lore or Art. Christian Hi id (Mrs. J. M. Tieruau) is us interesting a conversationalist as writer, and Mexico is deeply iu her debt for services rendered without ouy :notiou of claim therefor. That country has brought a number 'of looks from her, and each of them meds tho peculiar light which does not always radiate from historians. She is an enthusiastic admirer of tho country, and, poetlike, has possibly painted moro of the future of the country than the matter of fact muu may bo able to see to date. fcfhe talks on tho subject with tho fame interest. However well informed her miner and capitalist husband may be on business matters relating to Mex ico, when it comes to presenting a vivid picture of the country to the stranger, his, like that of tho best traveler's, falls Bhort of her descriptions. For, after all, it is humanity that makes a coun try, and she seems to have come to un derstand tho people of Mexico. Tho great trouble with the people who visit that country aud come back with tho statement that there is no society there, and that the place is a good ouo to bo buried alivo in from tho rest of the world the great trouble with these historians is that they havonot come to know any one, and that is, according to her, a very easy thing to do, if ho goes there imagining that tho social cus toms are anything liko they aro iu tho United States. There is no spot on the faco of tho earth whero tho companion- fhip of tho home is so circumspect and exclusive. A person is not taken into the bosom cf the refined Mexican family because ho dresses well and is fair Fpokeu. Un less ho has taken tho trouble to get let ters of introduction to somo homes, aud these letters from tho intimate friends of theso homes, tho visitor is more than likely to go away in tho same ignorance cf Mexican social or homo lifo that ho came thero with. If ho gains admission, lie will come into the acquaintance of homes which might make him ask, re these people really behind our much boasted civilization?" The ques tion comes homo with tremendous foreo to tho observant. Tho casual traveler may get eomo inkling of it by recalling a familiar sight. He has doubtless seen of an evening the men and women of an entire Mexican city gathering in tho central park, promenading to the music of a magnificent band. There he sees nil tho women wa king together in ouo direction around the squaro and all tho men walking in tho opposite direction. Ho will not, in the course of an entiro evening, hear a loud voice or see an in decorous act. The most perfect manners aro everywhere observed. Tho impres sion made is of a race of gentlemen and ladies. Suppose for an instant that this same scene was enacted in an American city, can the most patriotic American for a moment imagine that ho will see such manners, such true refinement, 6uch delicacy and true chivalry? This public scene is an index to the manners cf the home where it is nurtured. The great picturesqucuess of the na tion consists, however, according to this author, in tho urt temperament of the people. In this respect the race is per fectly wonderful. Art seems to bo so very natural to them that it is utterly unconscious of its own existence. "I re cently saw, for instance, iu one of the churches some superb work in sculpture, part completed and part iu process of execution. Askiug who did it, I was pointed out a couple of peons at work on the marble which was already in placo as a part of tho edifice. To my utter amazement I saw theso peons, without any recourso to clay models or any models at all, chiseling out theso figures in the marble. It is first marked oil on tho marble and then chiseled, and it was being done by tho unlettered and uncultivated peon. This is as remark able to my mind ns their music. There are numbers of such workers who earn only $1 per day and do not appear to appreciate that they aro tho possessors of rare gifts. "Mexico is certainly a land of music. The people, in fact, do not appear to bavo an introspective appreciation of how they lovo music. It is as natural to them as the air they breathe, and they enjoy it as tho bird his song, with never a thought of tho fact. "A friend of mine who was traveling in tho country repeated an incident which made a great impression on me. Ho was traveling in a rugged, moun tainous district, remote, as he thought, from habitation, and coming upon a creek running through the rocks bo Faw a partv of men who had their I white trousers mile;! up, and they had ' of men who had their jum i 1 1 n i in- Ulil tllMl llliU dUllI S.i. ,t ... . .....1 .. t 1 . in the sl;;.(i:' on the epposito bank re posing. Suddenly he heard a clash of bright mas ir , as bright as the snushino that bathed tin' country, as clear cut, Ppontancous and joyous as tho not of the song bird. It was a body of men who turned out to be one of the bands of a village milking its way to the next village for the eel bration cf a feast day. Music to these people is not an oc cupationit is a delight, a pastime, a joy. Aud so we have iu every town and village twese marvelous little bands who come together not so much with any idea of the improvement and refin ing influences of music as from pore delight in harmony. "Tbe same art instinct is appreciable In sculpture. The clay modeling one sees from the hands of tbe most uncul tured peon is something to awaken tbe wonder of the artist of the schools. The art involved has no place in their ap preciation of this work from the stand point of analysis. They do it because they love It, and the subject usually II. lustrates thl lr it is always one bcto I keniug tho deep interest of tho sculptor not in the model, but iu what he is pic turing. Tho toreador is a most popular subject, and they present him iu clay iu all tho grace and poetry of poso tha this champion of physical bravery pro sents to their imagination. "There is more literature in tho lan gnago tnan tho pubho appears to Do j aware of, and it is of tho same degree i of spontaneous excellence us tho other I art work just mentioned. They aro race of idealists. If they aro criticised for not taking kindly to tho latest Amer lean machinery and for using the wood en plow still in this century of advance ment, it cannot be denied, on tho other hand, that they possess marvelous art instincts. "-New Orleans Picayune. AN AMERICAN GIRL ESCAPES Was at the Charity I'.azitar When It Was Humeri. Miss Florence (iilmour, a former Cin ciunati girl, now of Paris, had a nar row escape from burning in tho destruc tion of tho charity bazaar. She writes in answer to a tender message of solid tudo from a Cincinnati friend: "in trying to escape by tho main entrance I found all the 1,200 peo- plo wero trying to do tho samo thing With a marvelous preseuce of mind '. realized that way meant death, and might as well bo burned as crushed to death, so I turned back hopeless to my booth, when somo one smashed in winnow ingeniously nieiueu, ana l saw a means of escape. It is useless to say I lost not a second and landed in a va cant lot. By that timo this cursed building of wood and pasteboard was a seething mass of flames. On ono sido was a high wall. I skirte d that, and in doing so was burned on the urm, neck and hands and fuce. ' "I thought even then I should not es cape, but some ono broke down a feuco into the street, and thus I was saved. I bad been separated from tho Vicomtesso lo Savigny aud Marie (my maid), aud it was not until L camo to my ho tel that I knew they wero saved. My wounds aro not serious, only painful, and I am doiug nicely. God knows how I was saved when so many perished. It has been tho mexst terriblo aud heart rending thing I ever beard of so un necessary. I can only bo thankful to heaven for my escapo from that holo caust. The scenes wero beyond deiscrip tion. I shall never forget them. My friends say they wero a 'little' fright cued while hunting for mo around the blaziug building aud among tho dead und wounded." St. Louis Globe-Democrat. DOGS SUFFER HUMAN ILLS. A New Theory That Interests the Medical Men of I'arU. Dr. Meguiu, in a recent lecture do livered before the Paris Academio do Medicine, stated his opinion that dogs, from their closo association with hu man beings, are subject to many of their nervous ailments. The brain of a dog is much moro highly developed than that of any other animal. In many respects it resembles tho human brain. With its master the dog experiences the vicissitudes of life. Ceaseless experiments toward race per fection, leading to many kinds of blood mixtures, are responsible, too, for inten sifying tho natural nervousness. The doctor thinks that 75 per cent of the animals killed who, on account of queer actions, are suspected of ghydro phobia -tMe'uuocently. Liko nervous men and women, they sometimes be come excited, are epileptic, morose, lazy, loso appetite, ami sometimes even turn against their best friends. If treated ra tionally, they might soon recover their usual health aud equanimity. Chica go Inter Ocean. Great Age of Trees. Gericke, the great German forester, writes that the greatest ages to which trees are known to bavo lived aro from COO to 570 years. The pine in Bohemia and the pino in Norway and Sweden have lived to tho latter age. Next comes the silver fir, which has ctood and thrived for upward of 400 years. In Bavaria tho larch has reached the age of 275 years. Of foliago trees, the oak ap pears to have survived the longest. An evergreen oak at AsehalTenburg reach ed the age of 410 years. Other oaks in Germany have lived to bo from 815 to 820 years old. The red beech has lived to tho ago cf 245 years. Of other trees, tho oldest known are ash, 170 years; birch, 1G0 to 200 years; aspen, 220 years; mountain maple, 225 years; elm, 130 years, and red alder, 115 years. Baltimore Sun.
