"Snug pile of hammocks, isn't it?"
asked a down town miiiorler of a re
porter, pointing to a stack of lialcs on tho
sidew Jk in front of his place.
"Yes, rather. What are they? Mexi
can seagrass?"
"Sea nonsense! Hammocks are not
made of sc.igm?s any ftiore than floor
matting Ls. These aro Mexican hum
mocks but they are made fiom the filler
of the heniqucn plant, a sjiecies of cao- J
tus tliat llouiishes in tho state of Yuca
tan. All Mexican haimaoLks are made
there, and more hammocks aro exported
from there than from any other place in
tho world."
"How are they made?" asked the re
porter. "They are made entirely by hand and
with primitive implements," continued
the dealer. "Witli a con) le of straight
poles, a homo made shuttle, n thin shb
of native zapoli wood, and a pile of hciii
quen icav es tlie Indi-n of Yucatan is pre
pared to accept contracts for hammocks
by tho piece, dozen or hundred. Tho
poles are placed n certain distance apart,
according to tho length of the hammock
to bo made. The thin slab of wood is
rapidly fashioned witli tlie aid of a small
machcttc into a tonhas or striijer. 15y
the aid of this tonkas the flU r of tho
thick, fleshy heniqum leaf, which is a
species of cactus, is denuded of its cover
ing, and a wisp of batchkill or rasped
fiber is the result.
"Tlie liatchkill is bleached in tho sun
and then becomes soskil. These are then
separated into small heaps, containing
about the same number of libers. When
the entire supply on hand is thus laid out
the operator takes up the fibers, and with
i dexterous roil between tho palm of tho
liand and tho knee transforms them into
heavy cords or kuns, as the natives call
them.
"Out of this cord tho hammocks are
made. Tlie cord is wound around tho
two jwles which liavo been planted in tho
ground and the work is turned over to
I he vv omen. They, with their wide shut
tles, accomplish the balance of tho task
m a remarkably rapid und thorough man
ner. A hen a pile has accumulated the
contractor comes around and gathers
them up.
"Tlie relations between the operator
and contractor nre very icculLir," said
the dea"ler, "and would exist nowhere
eke in theworlJ. In order to get the
hammocks necessary for his trade the
contractor must often jy for them three
months in advance, as it is only when the
natives owe money tliat they will consent
to work. In ordertogct a chain c toovve
this money the native will promise to
furnish the contractor, whom ho knows,
with a number of liammocks at a certain
time if the contractor will advance him a
sum of money. On this monev the en-
tenirisinir nativ e can lire in idlen.- fnr
scveraf montlis. The contractor arrets
to this. If he doesn't he can gtt no ham
mocks. But once tho nativu has bound
himself to supply the goods thoy will bo
forthcoming at the time stipulated.
Sliould death intervene, his relatives per
form the contract.
"But this advance system is a sore drain
on the contractor, who is rarely a jierson
of Lirge capital. He must of ncces-sity
accommodate the natives, and he needs
outside help to do so. This help ho ob
tains in the shape-of advances from tho
rnercliants in Mcrida, to whom he turns
over U'O hammocks he secures at a con
sidcrablo advance over tho amount they
havo cost him. These Meiida merchants
in turn 6cr.d tho goods to their New York
corrr-sjiondents.
"The hammocks aro carcfullv sorted in
Mcnda lieforo they arc baled for ship
ment to the United States, which absorbs
almost the entire production. I.ast year
it amounted to nearly froO.OOO. All tho
districts of Yucatan produce a greater or
lesser quantity of liammocks, but tho
Tixcoco di-'.nct is by far the largest pro
ducer, sending out. it i calculated, every
year as many as the brdance of tho stato
pit together. The iint"t sjccmicns of
tho hammock maker's art. lion ever.
ome from Chcinax. But few of theso
ver find their way to the United States.
They are so eagerly sought after at homo
that there is no necessity for sending
them away, cqiecially as good prices aro
realized on the ground.
"Hammock making in Yucatan is evi
dently a very old art." concluded tho
dealer. "While on a visit there somo
vears ago I found hammock hooks md
beams in nearly all the rums of thecrand
prehistoric cities which he buriesi m tho
forests. Of their history and the history
of the races which ihtoJcsI the mm cities
all trace lias Ix-on lost, but the interesting
little flirtations winch ongu.ate and aro
earried on m tln'cuzv retreat of the ham
mock of today I doubt not had their i ho
