The cars are divided into compartments, each one supposed to accommodate ten persons. Entering onr eompttrtment, we bade farewell to the only ".lobn" of the party, lie entering the adjoining divis ion. The boll sounded, the guard appeared, the key turned, and we were locked in for the niht. Mow, this English system of locking nay have its advantages, but we Americans oftimcs fail to see them. The great disadvantage and iricon vanience arises from the fact that there are no sanitary arrangem nta whatever, and no means of procuring even a drink of water. AVe had taken th: precaution, however, to Cll onr "serais" with water before leaving Bombay, and as our tiffin (lunch) banket were bountifully supplied, in respect to food and drink, we were comfortably provided for. As the iron horno leisurely took itsell ami us across the field, we noted that they tvere "tvl.ite for the harvest." The gorgeotis-liuel flowers were very plentiful, the trees richly green and this in Jannary. Bnt we soon learned that what is out winter i.s their growing season.

There seemed mu:!i a contrast be tween the beautiful flowering vines which covered the verandas of the sta tion and the ragged, dirty, half oaked native as to cause us to bo heart sick.

The chief would not consent to his de parture, however, and Harris has been for twelve months trying to in duce the old fellow to let bim go. Hut the chief knew what a good thing was when he had it. Harris, how-1 ever, determined to pay a visit to1 San Francisco despite the chief, and at last the ex-cannibal consented to' let the partnership continue even if!

When Harris left the Islands to take ship for San Francisco he was attended part of the way by quite an escort of boats. San Francisco Re port. tlnrnae C3re!fls D lachter.

It Herd of Wild BaOhlo. Hunters in Colorado are bent upon the extirction of the last herd of buffalo that inhabit the parks high In the Rocky mountains. There were only about twenty-five of the animals, and thirteen of these are be lieved to have leen killed. Officers are hunting the hunters now and, catching them, will endeavor to bull the actual price of buffalo skins to a pdnt absolutely beyond precedent. It is hoped by the San Francisco Ex aminer that their quest may be suc cessful. Indeed, news that the mon arch of the fleeing bison had turned upf'D his foes and horned a few of them Into penitence or Into the hereafter would fail to create a wav of sorrow. 1 There Is something little short ot ! athos In the way the buffalo have Oecn effaced. But a few years ago, roaming in countless thousands, they were killed for the lust of slaughter, for mere wantonness. Xow so scant a remnant survives that at one time it was ixdicvcd not a solitary individual ' remained, belonging to the plino, t the buffalo was forced by this cruelty I and greed of civilized man to seek ! other pastures. Such as did not ' whiten with their bones the old grazing grounds wandered away from their natural environment to the fastnesses of the mountains, far from all the haunts of human kind. There trrey have lived precariously, but It seems they are not allowed to exist even in exile. Man, who preaches gentleness and practices brutality, intends to chase them higher than the timber line, to escape the bullet only to die of starvation. On behalf of the buffalo, now al jnost tradition, it is proper that the persons who are trailing the final representatives of the race through the canyons of Colorado should be de nounce I, not alone as mercenary and unworthy sportsmen, but contempt ible vandals.

"Why not?" asks E. M. L. in the Horticultural Timet. "1 have at least three personal acquaintances who owe mnch to old Dame Nature for renewed youth and beauty of face and form gained by work in the garden. One is a lady of ample fortune, who loves her lawn, with its trees and vines and flow era as things of beauty. I doubt if the thought of health occurs to her, bat the eflect is patent to all her friends. Another is a lovely little woman who has been in ill health for years. This season, moving to a new home where friends and acquaiotances were soarce, sheer loneliness drove her to her gar en. Tbere the needs of the growing things appealed to her, and day by day her visits were repeated, until at lasi all Ler morning hoars were spent among them, planting, training, weed ing, thinning and digging. The result is the renewal of health and strength unknown before for years, and new happiness and greater contentment. The third is a good woman whose sor rows seemed piled monntain high through the loss by dearth within a few months of her hnBband and obild, and of property as well. Trained to no work as a girl, she seemed helpless. But her little garden demanded atten tion, and her very losses compelled her to work with her hands. Here, too, tbe soothing balm of pure air, exercise and . occupation worked its marvels in recovered health, content ment and a spirit of self helpfulness." TH JENEQTJEN OB SISAL HEMP. The inhabitants of lucatan justly consider the Jeneauen. or Sisal H among the most important staples of their agriculture, its valuable fibre an swering, not only an almost unlimited number of domestic purposes, bnt also supplying the demand ot foreign com merce. It is a plant of almost uncon querable vitality surviving tbe tropical beat of tbe southern snmmer and thriving in the dry soil of a desert. There are seven species of this plant. The Cheletn grows spontaneously everywhere, bnt its favorite hannt is the barren districts of the nortnwest. The Farmer and the Grocer.

The Royal Baking Powder is proven by actual tests to be 27 per cent stronger than any other brand on the market Better not buy the others, for they mosdy contain alum, lime and sulphuric acid; but if they are forced upon you, see that you are charged a correspon dingly lower price for them.

As the offlcrals passed through the corridors Stewart asked one after another of the convicts about his case. "I am here," said one. "for a mur der that I never committed." "And I'm in," said another, 'Tof attemptin' to kill when it was a clean se of self-defense." "Im innocent, too, Governor, said another. "I never stole a thing In my life." Gov. Stewart asked hundreds ol luestions, but every convict declared bis innocence and begged for pardon. At length, just before leaving the prison, the Executive met a you n& fellow carrying a load of some sort of prison product Tbe convict saluted respectfully and was passing on, when the Governor stopped him. "What are you here for?" he asked. "For stealing horses, Four Excel .eocy," was the ready rejlv. "ButHf course you are innocent?" Governor went on, winking at Gen. Knott. "Of course I'm nothin' of the sort," .aid the prisoner. "1 stole 'cm and I've got three years to do yet." "Well," said Gov. Stewart, "you fill be pardoned to-morrow. I am sorry that it will be necessary for you, a guilty, baa man, to remain here even another nizht with all of theie innocent gentlemen. You will contaminate them."

I This fur, which is used nowadays .'or cloaks, hats, trimmings, rugs, and brushes, was at one time used for only a sort of shawl, being merely cut from the animal and put to dry in the sun. Wood, which with mud made the savage's home, or roughly whit tled made his tools, is now fashioned into all kinds of furniture, vehicles, instruments of every shape an! va riety. machines and countless other things. Iron, from which only money anC weapons were once made, is useful in machinery, architecture and a thou sand other branches. Butter, which is almo6t indispensa ble to tho meal nowadays, wus form erly used solely as an ointment. He rodotus, a Greek historian, is thc first writer who mentions buttar, 500 years before Christ. The Spartans treated it very much the same as we do col ogne,and Plutarch tells how a hostess was sickened at the sight of one of her visitors, a Spartan, who was sat urated in butter. The Scythians introduced the arti cle to the Greeks, and the Germans showed the Komans how to make it. But the latter did not use it for food; they, like the Spartans, anointed' their bodies with it.
