In spite of the constant talk of a sub­
stitute having been found for it, robber
seems likely to bo for some time io
come the stand by of the electrician for
insnluting purposes. The manufacturers
who prepare the rubhur for the electrical
and other markets complain of the in­
creasing adulterutiou cf (he raw ma­
terial, especially of that coming from
Assam aud Burma. According to H.
N. Thompson, the Chinese have n prac­
tical monopoly of the trade. The forests
at the head of the upper Nanjkoug basin
are rich iu rubber, and the trees attain
a height of 200 feet, with euormons
girth. The great tribe of rubber collect
ors is tho Sana Kachius, who go vast
distauct s for their rubber harvest iu tho
dry season. Tho chiefs levy toll on tho
produce as it passes down tho river.
The Chiucse, who control the trade, pay
the Kuchins for it in provisions and
cloth, and as they are adepts iu the nrt
of concealing stones in it, by the timo
it reaches Ranguu its weight aud balk
arc largely augmented by foreign sub­
stances.
Tbo Assam supply is fed rnniuly by
the Nacas, who, having got in their
crops in December, set off for tho rub­
ber forests within tho drainage area of
the Taren river, where they know every
tree, tho knowledge being in many
cases passed on from father to son. Tho
rubber iu this district is said to ho
growing so scarce that it often takes a
man 40 days to collect a cooly load. In
spite of this, the Singpho villuges levy
a tax on each collector. When ti
col­
lected, the rubber is very pure, but tbo
Nagas bave acquired tho trick of adul­
terating it with earth and stones, and
the Assam rubber is not regarded with
favor in the Calcutta market. It is a
sore point with the Chinese merchants
that the Nagas so exhaust tlie cupacity
of the rubber to receive adalcerntion
that there is no opeuiug left for the ex­
ercise of their own ingenuity iu tho
same direction.— S t Louis Globe-Dem­

There was an Englishman hailing
from Hull on this side the water re­
cently looking at America, aud, of
course, he came to Washingtou. Hewaa
a large man, weighing not less than
360 pounds and rising to a height of at
least 0 feet 8 inches. He was, for an
Englishman not yet Americanized, quite
chatty and affable, after the ice wua
broken, albeit jnst u wee bit slow of wit.
“ I’m a Hull shipbuilder, ” he was say­
ing td a Yankee newspaper man iu a
small party of journalists who were
blowing him off to a few rations, wet
and dry, nt a foundry where such things
axe manufactured.
"Of course you are," responded the
Yankee as lie measured his huge pro­
portions and smiled. “ You cxiuld scarce­
ly make ns believo you were ouly part
of one, don't yon know. ”
Those in hearing laughed, and the
Englishman looked at tho Yankee with
a puzzled, yearning expression on his
broad and honest face.
“ Really," ho pleaded, “ I beg your
pardon." And then before international
complications could arise somebody coll­
ed on tho Englishman for a speech or
something and the Yankee joker got
away.— Washington Star.

have no heart to think of you any more.
So take these verses, like a basket of

For I do not wish to think ill of yon. I

“ Buffalol” called out the brakeman
as the train stopped.
"I get off here, Mr. Gage. Hope I

the Indianian excitedly os he bolted for

sneaked into another car and remained
there till the train pulled into Chicago.
