The silica becomes fused, and, forming

down on tho lower ones, with tho result
stated All these diflienliies had to bo,
or are being, mastered, and that accounts
for the secrecy thrown around carbon
manufactories. As an instance of tho

city, may be quoted. It Is a co-operatlvo
institution, employing forty men, every
one of whom must" own at least one sharo

Now we come into a forest of rubber
trees, which can be detected without tho
eye of an expert, fur they are all scarred
and dying rapidly fioni the wounds of tho
hunter's machete. The rubber hunter re
minds me of the boy who "killed tho
goose that laid the golden egg." Each
tree can afford to lose a certain amount of
juice per year and still live. When ono
of these fellows, however, makes a dis
covery, only a few months sullico to placo
his bonanza in tho ranks of the many that
have gone before. The consequenco is
one may traverse these immenso forests
from enil to end and never meet a virgin
tree. The ordinary specimen of Nicaragua

about two feet in diameter. Tho bark is

Tho averugo yield of a largo troo is from
five to seven gallons of a milk' iluid.
This is placed in an open vessel and mixed
in small proportions with tho juico of a
plant found near the rubber tree called
tho wisth, which hastens congelation.
After this operation is complete tho pro
duet is baled up and shipped north, to bo
refined and further prepared for com

rubber, and often mistaken for it, is tho
cow tree. This yields a liquid very much
like milk in color, consistency and tasto.

think about tho additional danger that a
red dress might subject tho child to from

A valuable arclneologietil find was
tnado recently by n poor woman, by name

down the roast front Tuxpan, Mexico.
She was engaged in enlarging bur littlo
garden spot, and with a grubbing boo was
digging up a growth of weeds and vines,
wiiim coming in contact with something
l,.i r.,,,,,fl imfwQililn to re-
move, she dug around it and found that
object to be mi iron boiler such as is used
in ships. It was Idled up with earth to
the depth of a foot and more, and this
Vicing taken out a largo stone was found
tightly wedged in. forming a sort of lid
or stopper.
This was removed with great difficulty,

were also nearly :100 in Spanish dou,b- I

est archicological treasure was a small
imago of the virgin and child in solid I
silver, which, when cleaned of tho mold
and tarnish of time and soil, was found
to bo inscribed with it Latin dedication
to ono l'tvtro. with tho brotherly lovo of
Benvenuto.
That it was tho work of tho great
Italian can well bo believed, for tho
statue is one of extraordinary beauty. It
is about, nine inches in height and repre
sents the mother bending over tho child
in an attitude of prayer. How it camo
to be hidden here on tho Mexican coast
is not easily solved, implying a variety
of adventures, but it is probable that it
was buried there by some of tho Spanish
marauders who visited tho coast fre
quently during tho Eighteenth century,
and who had probably stolen it from
some church or museum in Europe. Tho
woman who found it has already boon

Origin of the lliiili iiulu.
John Rioh, tho son of Christopher Rich,
tho manager of the theatre in Lincoln's
Inn Fields, London, was a very illiterate
man, with strong dramatic instincts.
From his inability to speak upon tho
stago ho originated tho silent harlequin,
and by mere dumb action could rival tho
power and pathos of tho most accom
plished tragedian.
Previous to this, and, indeed, for somo
time afterward, harlequin was a speak
ing part, and David Garrick played him
as such in the theatre at Goodman Fields.
It was in the year 1717 that Itich ap
peared in a pantomino called "Harlequin
Executed."
Jackson, in speaking of Rich's wonder
ful abilities .isapantoinimist, says: "On
his last revival of 'The Sorcerer' I saw
him practice tho hatching of harlequin
by tho heat of tho sun, in order to point
it out to Miles, who, though excellent
in tho line of dumb significance, found
I it no easy matter to retain tho lesson
j Rich had taught him. This certainly
' was a masterpiece in dumb show. From

of such a sad affair may bo imagined.

moment to one of mourning. Tho bridal
wreaths and roses were trampled under

I make this looseness apparent in tho tlrst

They will put on the cloaks and slouch
around before the customers in tho
most idle, lazy, listless manner imagin
able. It's a great knack to really show
otl a cloak to advantage, and it conies
by instinct, not by education. It's in
the natural post and carriage of a girl
in her step and walk and manner.
We are now short of good mod
els, and have been advertising
some days for what we want without
the desired success. Out of a dozen
girls whocomo hero after situations only
one is apt to be in any way available.
Wo don't ask a girl many questions
when sho comes here, but wo give her
a cloak to put on, ami then wo watch
her every movement. Wo can tell in a
very few minutes whether sho is the
right sort or not. Wo meastiro her
bust, of coin-so. in tho first instanco to
see if her size is regulation or noL
We tire very careful about tho char
acter of the girls we employ. It is a
fact, you know, that most of tho
"buyers" in the cloak trttdo aro women.
The cloaks are for women, and women
have a quicker and more intuitive per
ception about such matters than men.
Now. there is a lady in tho salesroom
now. looking at cloaks anil talking with
tho model. This lady is a buyer for a
big house away out in Denver. Of
course we could not for a moment tol
erate a girl in her presence whoso con
duct showed in tho slightest way that
she was not a proper companion for a
lady. Of course evident refinement of
manner and an air of good breeding is
of inestimable advantago to a cloak
model when added to an elegant and
lively oarringo. Cloak models got idl
the way from 7 to $20 a week. Thero
aro fow who get 620, though. But I
know of ono or two who got doublo
that sum.
Tho cloak models do not havo par
ticularly hard hours, but I admit that
the r occunation is not an easy ono.

which is but six or eight months a year,..
Still it is true that many models cannot

In tho wholcsalo cloak trado tho mod
els' figures have to conform to but ono
or two regulation sizes. The cloaks for
littlo children are (Itted on tho wooden
model frames. In tho retail trado less
attention is paid to the exact sizes, and
more attention is paid to tho sprightli
ness and "chic" of the model. Tho old,
experienced "buyer" knows what ho or
she wants, and is not apt to bo beguiled
by the graceful movements of any
young womtui. But tho way a cloak
looks upon a model has a great effect
upon tho retail customer. In tho retail
stores thero are "slight" models, "full
form" models, "short" and "toll" mod
els, and models representing all tho
usual variations in a woman's flguro.
In tho retail store, too, tlio model
must be something of a saleswoman.
Sho is expected to entertain tho cus
tomer, to point out the good points of
the garment under consideration, and
to help sell goods as best sho can. In
the retail stores tho customer generally
wants to try on tho cloak herself, and
in this sho is assisted by tho model.
