DEAD MEN'S FOOD IN YUCATAN. There Are let-union When It Is Terj Much lirliahnl hy the I-ivins- From remote times the Mayas have Wen accustomed to make offerings to the souls of the departed, particularly a certain pie that they call "food for the soul." says Mrs. he Piloni'em in Popular Science Monthly. The crust must le of yellow corn: the interior, tender chieken and small pieces of pork. These pies are wrapped in leaves of the banana tree anil baked under ground letween hot stones. When done they are placed on the praves or huntr from trees close by. Sometimes, after leaving them there for an hour or two, the livinjr take home the pies and enjoy them, saying that the souls have already drawn from them all the ethereal part of the substance. When amonjr the ruins in the ancient city of Chichen Itza, we happened to W very hard pressed for food on All Saints day. as on many other occa sions, and knowing that the -'feast of the dead" would lie celebrated in a not very distant village, we allowctl some of inr men to jro there and take their chance of enjov in; a jrood meal. In that they were most successful, the natives leinjr at all times exceed ingly hospitable, and never failing to invite those who approach their home to partake of what they have. Hut the men also thought of us. We had early taken to our hammocks. remcmWrinir the sayinjf: 'Mui ilort. dine" (He who sleeps, cats). Alut two o'clock in the morning we were aroused by a man only just returned from the vil lage. He had waited there till all were asleep, then made his way to the (graveyard and fathered from a tree a fine fruit in the shape of a larjre pie. This he brought to us. wisely ar(ruin( that the emlodied needed it more than the disembodied. The dead man's food was still wrapped in its banana leaf, and we were not sorry to avail ourselves of this chance to breakfast at two o'clock in the morninjr. No tender chieken was con cealed within that particular crust, only a pier's foot with a few stray bristles n it, and a most lib eral dose of red pepper, but hunger made it ex c client. MOLASSES AND PETROLEUM. They Are Cnrrted no Alternate Tarfroes In the Same Stennuihtp Tanks. Alxiut all the molasses which comes from t'uba to the United States is brought in the same tanks in steam ships that are used to carry petroleum as a return cargo, says the New York Tribune. The ships' tanks are about sixteen feet deep and have a neck seven feel deep. They are pumped full of oil at lro.--klyn or Philadelphia, then taken to Havana, and the oil is pumped out into the tanks of the re fining plants there. Molasses is brought from the interior of the islan-l in huge hogsheads, which are emptied into the storage tanks. A suction pump drawing about ten thousand gallons an hour tills each ship's tanks to within at .out two feet of tlie top, that amount of space being required for tne expansion of the molasses. It might ! supposed that the petroleum would have a had effect on the molasses, but it has been shown that the contrary is the case, and as nearly one-half the importation is niade into rum ami the balance re fined into sucrar a little oil is not of much account. The tanks are cleaned after the molasses has Wen pumped out by turning in. a powerful steam jet. which washes down the sides and liiiefies whatever molasses may le left in the lottom of the tank, and the buction pump finishes the work. A cargo of molasses, which formerly required ten or twelve days, can now W unloaded in forty-eight hours, while the difference in the cost of handling, to say nothing of the saving of time, amounts to a large sum. The first attempt at handling mo lasses in bulk was made by the brig Novelty in 1N77. She was fitted with a lining and her whole hold was used without partitions. She made several trips Wtween Matanas and Uoston. but was not successful as a dividend earner. Since the present system of dividing a vessel's hold into tanks was devised ami put in practice on steam ers the profits of the trade and the steamship companies have largely in creased. SLAVES IN NEW ENGLAND. The lla-clnnlne nf Traffic in Unman Chat tel in the KsHtern Stale. In the sixteenth century the system of slavery was fast disappearing from western Kurope as Wing inconsistent with their duly for Christians to hold Christians as slaves. Hut this charity did not extend to heathens ami infi dels! In the latter part of the seven teenth century the African slave trade was considered the most profitable part of Hritish commerce. New Kng land naturally followed the lead of older countries, and her exchange for humanity of rum. molasses and other commodities acceptable on the liuinca and Hold coasts Wgan.

The slaves iiuHrtcd were of various colors, tribes and physiognomies. Some were jet black, with features ap proaching those of the I'nropean; some were of a tawny yellow, with tlat noses and projecting jaws. These lat ter, coming from the delta of the Niger, were noted for an indomitable capacity for endurance, ami therefore esteemed the Wst slaves. A few were Mohaninicdans. among whom were oc casionally found persons of some edu cation, who knew Arabic and could read the Koran. Hut the great mass were pagans, in a condition of gross lutrbarism. lie fiave It I 'p. The Itoston Transcript tells how a teamster kept Inciting one of his horses unmercifully, and how the ani mal still refused to go forward. I'n able to endure the sight of the lashes upon the horse, the lady of a neigh boring house rushed out. "Oh, is there any need of whipping him so is there any use in it?" she implored, timidly, patting the stubWm animal's head. The teamster dropped his lash. "No use at all, ma'am," he said, in a tone of resigned despair; "I've licked him till I'm tired out, and it ain't a bit of FLOWERS AND PLANTS.

It is a short distance cast of the st aye road between Tucson and r aele. and stands on a knoll several feet above t he surround i np sandhi lis. When tirst seen the effect is startling, and the mind has to pet over a shock before the peeul iar object can be com prehended. It is a most crfect rep resentation of a camel, and is formed of one piece of pranitc. This curiosity, says the I'ittsburp-b Hispatch. is of colossal size, but jvr feet ly prop. rt iotieil. It is almiit si.h feet hiirh and very wide and smooth There are very few fissures on the sur face, and they, stranpel y, are in tin proper places to form features.

Tin rock is really a solid piece risin;r from the p-n.nnd. but the effect of leirs is produced by a clump of dark-colored brush that prows beside the stone. Tin- white stone shows plainly on loth sides of the brush, ami the effect of the leps is unmistakably produced. The strangest part of it is that it looks tike a camel from all sides and at all times of the day or nipht. There is no dispuisinp the resemblance. Itiiyar.l Tailor's llomn. Kennett Square. Chester county, I "a., where P.ayard Taylor was bred, where his home, Cedarcroft. was and where a library is to be established as a monument to his memory, is a vil lape of about thirteen hundred inhabi tants. The repion has a stronpf.tuaker element, and the pride of Mr. Taylor's nciphliors in his literary distinction was tempered by what t iiey esteemed his world liness. It was known that he lived much as other men of the world lived and that lie drank wine and smoked cipars. The pod iicnptc of Kennett Square decided once, how ever, to forpive all this and welcome Mr. Taylor home in triumph, but inany of those present at the reception were shocked by the address of a speaker from another state, who praised tlie honored pnest of the occasion for hav inp freed himself from narrowinp trammels and lived the larper life of the preat world.

The !..!-' and the "sou!" were required to he i:i such reiatioti to each other that th. "soul" should invariably explain tin "b.Miy." The legend must be concise, neatly turned and inireii iottsly sur-e-estive - like the " I )esl ieha.io" of the disinherited l.nirlit in "I vanhi h1." says t In Yea r Uoti ml. It had always to he applicable to the person as well a.- to the material object foriuine- the 1. ..!y," and it must not be drawn from thiiiirs unknown, nor must it be too enii.-i!iat ie or too facile, too h; liable, or above all. too arrogant. Aj'ain. it w as cssei.t ial that tin- ti;r i.re should be agreeable to tin- i-e and it:, idea to the mind.

HIGH HEELS COM t FROM PERSIA A riiiii.it Ic Ni-rcHHity I ln-rr mid n .IcaIoiih llfi-- in Ol.l-l imc -iilf. Heels, it is said, owe their origin to Persia, win re they were int rod need upon sandals in the sha(e of blocks of wood fixed underneath, such bcinr the r.M.t idea f those lef. .rtni t ies to which lovely woman owes so mativ of her woes, says t he New York Journal. A hi;rh. unsteady heel, it is an open secret, injures the le tendons and af fect s t he spi tie as w el 1 as internal or raiis. which are liable to be di-placed by the thrown forward . sit ion en tailed. In Persia, the tirst home of the heel, however, these blocks of wood are Used simply to "raise the feet from the burnin sands of that country, and were two inches hi-h." With the Persian women these blocks were vastly hi her than t hose a licet ed by men. their hei lit beiv from eieiit eeli inches to two feet, thus Im-coiiuii more of the nature of stilts than any thing else. Strangely etinii":li. many years after a similar fashion cam" into voite in Venice: but the motive in this case was comically different, for "by its means jealous husbands thou lit t hey w ould be able to keep their w ives at home." The stipoi-ts of such f hoes in Venice were called "chimneys." and to appease the vanity of the ladies, and doubtless also to suirar the pill, were mad.- hij'Iily ornate. Th hei-rht of these chimneys determined the rank of the wearer, an extra coatiiie; for t he pill, "the noblest dames beiny jer tnitted to wear them one-half yard or niore hih." THE FINANCIAL WORLD.
