Tho region of tho four rivers Is a vast
and unexplored wilderness; tho wilderness
through which Cortex struggled on his way
to Honduras after tho lonquest of Mexico,
there to hang tho Aztec king, GuatemoUin,
last of the Montczuraas. This tract Is
no maia of tangled, tropical forest. Twenty
years ago the school geographies of Guate
mala described It as a country Inhabited
by a wild. Independent trlbo of Indians,
who recognized no authority but that of
their chiefs. In the early port of 1S30 tho
writer Journeyed through this forest,
traveling ten days without seeing other
human face than that of his Mestizo serv
ant. In tho tlmo of Cortcz the country Ir
described by his soldier hlstorlnn, Mrml
Diaz, as thickly populated. What has be
come of this population Is a mystery, for
the evidence of Its existence still remains
in ruined edifices, temples and Idols scat
tered through tho forests, now grown over
with great trees.
Far up Into Mexico the forest extends
and the pushing Mexican lumbermen, a far
different typo from the worthless "Greaser"
of the northern frontier, penetrated the
woodland wherever they could find streams
to carry tho lumber down, and established
their camps. Presently they overran the
frontier and brought on war In 1SS4, and
again In 1896, wars which In each Instance
pushed back tho Ountcmala frontier. Tho
first timber company that went Into ma
hogany cutting on nn extensive scale there
got a concession from the Guatemalan gov
ernment and struck In through tho denso
forest until they reached a largo and placid
stream, tho RlVer de la l'nsslon, about
which tho valuable trees grow thick. To
get the lumber out waa tho problem.
Fashioning a canoo tho explorers set out
down the stream, which presently becamo
narrow and swift, and rushed througli n
gorge to dash over a rock shelf In a seeth
ing torrent. Only by throwing themselves
from the speeding canoo did tho men es
cape. A long time after tho canoo was
found on tho gulf beach near tho mouth
of tho river. If a boat could find Its way
to sea water, so could mahogany tree
trunks. Camps were soon cstnbllshcd there.
Then came the question of labor.

It waa not to be hoped that tho sun
loving, merry-hearted Mexican peons could
he tempted from the social llfo of tho vil
lages and cities Into tho depths of tho
gloomy forest nt any wages. Sumo other
method must bo found. Tho cunning Mon
teros, as the mahogany hunters nro called,
devised means of cnliiv(ng-tho peona.
By the Mexican system a man engaged for
certain labor and prepaid la compelled to
work out his wage. In any Mexican town
it is easy to pick up peons, particularly
at a fete time, who will drink a little and
then be ready to ontor Into nny kind of a
contract for tho sake of money for moro
drink. With tho amount advanced they
buy a little clothing and a great deal of
mescal liquor and hnvp a round of pleas-

In perfect plumbing turoo sorts of pipes monly It leaves tho house plpo Just In

it receives smaller pipes from tho crown
of every trap. Thus, when a trap Is
flushed, the nlr In the plpo beneath It does
not struggle or gurgle through the water
and finally pass Into tho room, but -moves
readily downward before the water, fallnwej
by clean air from tha pipe ln tho crown.
To understand that, fill a bottlo with
water, turn It upside down, and watch
the struggle of air and water rs It crap-
Uta. Refill it, and after Inverting it, break
ure, nt the end of which time they find their
money all gone and a squad of soldiers wait-
ln to escort them to their respective camps.
Uy this means the mahogany cutters found
mey were amo to extend their camps In
tho vast wilderness of both Chiapas and
utintornnia, and there virtually set up a lit-
tlo principality of their own. It Is precisely
tno same system of slavery for dobt
devised by tho stockade owners of
Anderson county, South Carolina. Patches
of tho forest aro now cleared and
planted In corn and tho peons are fed
on this corn, which Is first boiled In a wtak
solution of potash water mado from ashe's
and then ground between two stones. An
occasional wild boar or other game from
tho forest Is their only change of food.
Few of the pconn rcallzo tho fate before
them, because few return to tell of It. It Is
ft long Journey to the Monteros' camp, a
Journey over a trail whero uvcry bit of
food consumed on tho way must bo carried,
and sometimes water, too, and tho Journey
Is ono of days In a forest abounding In
wild lea.ts. Ily the Mexican law the peon
cannot be detained any longer than neces
sary for him to work out his Indebtedness,

tno Montcro practices a system of treble
entry bookkeeping, by which method tho
peon's debt Is constantly Increasing In
stead of diminishing.
As an Illustration of this system a story
Is told of a peon who, ondeavorlng to keep
track of his account, provided himself with
a llttlo memorandum book, In which ho re
quested the Montcro to mark down his In
debtedness. Onco having drawn Jo from
tho Montero he discovered that he was
charged with $15. He at onco took the book
to his master and required an explanation.
Tho Montero pretended to fly Into n terri
ble rago at the stupidity of the peon and
after swearing at hlm roundly, exclaimed:
"Don't you see, you fool, thero were
tho five dollars you naked me for, and $5
which I gavo you, and $5 to bo charged to
your account, nnd don't three fives mako
fifteen! Got out of here and go to work."
Anil they say that between the Intervals
of swinging his nxe that peon Is still trying
to find out how threo fives make fifteen
when ho gets hut ono of them.

For any Insubordination there Is tho lash

their hope of over making tholr way

lost In tho forest, tho writer ran across ono
of theso slavo settlements. At a thatched
cabin near tho bank of a largo river, which

for something to cat. A table wan brought
out of tho cabin and a couple of Indians

had advanced them J10 each for the cclo-
bratlon of the San Domingo feast, had tub-
i scmtently lured them Into tho fortst far
, ther and farther away from home till now
In Mexico, on tho banks of the great river,
they were badly treated and 111 ftd, with
no prospect of ever getting back to their
homes. They never received nny money
and (ne when one of their number made
.request for a settlement he was put In tho
calaboose and threatened with n long term
of Imprisonment If he did not at once agree
to go back to camp and work out his In
debtedness, which was represented as a
considerable amount.
Food and means of escape were offered to
this man later, but he was hopeless of
being able to get away, and, moreover,
would not leave tho girl and his fellows
.Miguel larucn, by the way, shot a man
shortly after, was captured, escaped and
made his way Into another province, whero
he was Imprisoned for cutting mahogany
without a license nnd his camp destroyed.
This nearly led to another war between
Mexico and Guatemala. Whatever became
of his peons the writer has been unable to
find out.
After the mahogany trunks nre cut and
trimmed by tho slaves they are stamped
with namo and dato and set adrift In the
river. Somo of tho logs take as long as
four years to mako tho trip; others never
aro found. Nevertheless, the traffic Is
highly profitable, as tho Monteros pay no
wages, nnd tho expense of keeping tho
peons alive on corn Is very small. Occa
sionally a log drifts down the river with
some poor peon's mcieago of appeal for ro-
lcaso from bondage nailed to Its sur
face. Surely there arc In tho annals of all
tlmo no more mournful documents than
theso bits of scrawled cloth entrusted to
tho wild waters of the River do In Passion

Den Hassan Rnmldlo, known to the pa
trons of tho saloons on Third nvenue,
New York, as "tho wonderful Turk" ho
cause of tho many slick tricks ho Is cap
able of doing, is now wondering how he
can recover $5 which he lost Saturday
night while doing a trick.
Shortly after 0 o'clock, relates tho New
York Times, rtamldlo entered the saloon
of Jaeger tiros., on the northeast corner
of Thirty-fourth street and Third avenue,
and proceeded to do trlcke. Among tho
customers wns nn Irishman who held under
his arm a bundle containing somo new
shlrta nnd collars.
"Say." said the Turk, "I'll take $5 out
of your pocket, or I'll do better than that
I'll take It out of that bundle."
"I don't bcllovo you can do alther," re
plied the Irishman.
Tho Turk said ho could and took tho
bundlo In his hands. After a few manipu
lations he surprised tho Irishman and tho
occupants of tho placo by holding n new
$5 bill In bta hand. Tho Irishman de
manded tho money, claiming It had been
taken from his bundlo nnd wns his prop
erty. Tho Turk rofused to hand It over,
claiming It wns his and not tho Irishman's.
Tho latter grabbed tho bundle and tho
money and started out of tho door toward
tho Thirty-fourth street ferry for Long
Island City, followed by tho Turk nnd
soveral of tho men In the place. It hap
pened that a boat was Just pulling out of
tho slip as tho Irishman Jumped aboard
and wan off.
Rnmldlo was furious. Ho returned to tho
saloon and demanded from ono of tho
membors of tho firm his $5, claiming ho
had been robbod In the saloon. Jaeger
said that ho did not have to give tho Turk
tho money, alleging tho man had been re
lieved of the money through his own fool
ishness. Sergcnnt Raynor of tho East
Thirty-fifth street station was mado ac
quainted with tho facts and told tho men
they would havo to settle tho difficulty

millions of bacteria, harmless so long as
tho pipes ara In uso, nnd thorofore kept
wet, but ready for mischief whenever tho
surfaco Is allowed to dry.
Hero is the way to tell It a trap holds
its seal properly. Pour In a gallon of
water, very gently, and after five minutes
mark how high tho water stands. Then
Hush tho trap quickly and forcibly with tho
full head of the cistern. When the water
Is qulot again see it It reaches your mark.
If it does, well nnd good tho trap Is sot
and working right. If It Is oven half nn
inch lower thero Is danger ahead you can
not too quickly call in n competent plumber.
To tost n trap for sower air light a long
tapor and hold It Just abovo the water as
you flush tho trap If the flame is drawn
down your plumbing is properly ventilated;
If It flutters upward sower air Is rising
through the flush water. Tho flame will
burn upward, of course you must Judgo
whether there Is whirling nnd sputtorlng,
such ns nro caused by up currents of air.
If you suspect a steady escape of sower
air put a bit of lighted candlo In a tin
candlestick nnd set tho candlestick In tho
closet abovo the trap, Leave It undis
turbed for three hours and keep tho bath
room closed. Sewer air is so full of car
bonic acid any considerable escape of it
will In that time extinguish the flame.
Open plumbing Is a boon little short
of light and air. It enables you not
merely to see tho sort of trap and Its lo
cation, but also to make sure that propor
tion Is properly observed. Proportion la
all-Important for many reasons. The chief
est of them Is that whero a pipe Is too big
for the wuter (low It Is never properly
scoured. Right hero It may bo well to say
that a four-Inch pipe will tako four times
as much water as a two-Inch ono; also that
friction, which Is tho retarding Influence

MINISTERIAL SMILES.
A young man and n young woman who
were visiting n town In Michigan passed
an engine house which had a tower, mak
ing It look like a church. "I wonder
what church that is?" sho inquired. To
which ho replied, after reading tho sign,
"Dclugo, No. 3," "I gucs3 it must bo the
Third Baptist."
A certain English bishop, as ho was
going f.bout his dloceso, asked tho porter
of a lunatic asylum how a chaplain whom
ho (tho bishop) had lately appointed was
getting on.
"Oh, my lord," Bald the man, "his
preaching Is most successful. Tho bldlots
henjoys It pnrttckler."
A clergyman onco preached n sermon
on the fate of tho wicked. Mooting soon
after an old woman well known for her
gossiping propensities, ho nald: "I hope
my sermon has borno fruit. You heard
what I said about tho placo whero there
shall bo walling and gnashing of teeth?"
"Well, ns to that," answered the darao.
"If I 'as nnythlnk to say, It bo this: lot
them gnash their teeth as has 'cm I
ain't!"
A few yeara ngo a committee of angry
low church men visited tho bishop of Ox
ford, tho late Dr. Stubbs, to complain of
various ritualistic excesses of their roctor.
They woro especially excited over the fact
that tho parson wore a red hood, Instead of
the bluo ono to which ho was entitled ns a
graduate of Trinity college, Dublin. "He
carries n Ho on his back!" thoy cried. As
a matter of fact, tho nccused priest had
an Oxford degroo, as well as an Irish ono,
but tho bishop did not nrguo the matter.
"A lie," said he, with a comical smile,
"Is a hard word. Suppose you call It a
falsehood " And tho committee laughed
and withdrew.
