Its Mfaterpiece .a(Art the Tomb of St. FraAcia Xawier. It as said that during the prosper ous times of- the Portuguese In India you could not have seen a piece of iron in any merchant's .house, but all gold and silver. They coined linmense quan tities of the precious mnetals and used to make piecesrof workmanship in them for efportation. The very sol diers enriched themselves by com merce. But then at last came the inquiSitiOn, which celebrat.ed its terrible and deadly rites with more fervor and vehemence at Goa than in any-other place. Reli gious persecution, pestilence and wars with the Dutch, disturbances arising. from an unsettled government, and, above all, the slow but. sure wor-kings of the shortsighted policy of the Portu guese in intermarrying and Identifying themnselves with the Hindoos of the lowest caste, made her fall as rapid as her rise was sudden and prodigious. In less than a century and a half aft er BaGama had lagded on the Indian shore the splendor ofGoa -had departed forever. The inhabitants fled .before the deadly fever which soon fastened upon the devoted precincts of the city, and In 1758 the viceroy transferred his headquarters from the ancient capital to Parjina, about eight miles distant Soon afterward the religious orders were expelled, leaving their -magnif cent convents and churches all but ut ferly deserted, and the inquisIton wS suppressed upon -the recommendation of the British government The place is now a grass grown wil derness. But still the firm and well built causeways of this olden city and its moldering splendors are reminiscent of echoing pageants and the tramp of armies which once sounded there. As we tread the ancient wharf, a long, broad road, ined with a double row of trees and faced with-stone, a more sug gestive scene of desolation can haudly be eoneei-ved. Everything around teems with melancholy associations, the very rustlings of the trees and murmur of the waves sound like a dirge for the de parted grandeur of a city. Towering above a mass of ruins a solitary gateway flanks the entrance to the Strada Diretta, tie Straight street, so called because almost all the streets in old Goa are laid out In cur vinear form. ft was through this portal surmounted by the figures of St Catherine and Vasco da Gama that the newly appointed viceroys of Goa passed in triumphal procession to the alace. Beyond the gate a level road, en ta populous thoroughfare, leads to the Terra di Sabalo. a large square front ing the Primacial, or Cathedral -of St. Catherine, who became the patron saint of Goa when the place was cap tured by Albuquerque on the dgy of her festivaL Groves of cocoanut-ipalns and mango topes now incumber the ground once covered by troops of -o. The wealth, the busy life and the lux ury of the old place are dead. Kites and cobras infest the crumbling halls which once resounded with the ban quet and the dance, aund naught but a few old monks and nuns keeps vigil amid its desolation today. But Gon possesses one treasure of great interest This is the tomb of Francis Xavier, the great Jesuit mis sionary to the east It is to be found in the Church ofBon Jesus. It is amas terpiece of art which Is lost to all but the casual visitors to old Goa. Som,e hae ventured to suggest that no other mausoleum in India or even in Asia ex cept the Taj Mahal can equal It It is built of rich marble of variegated col -ors. The lowest stage Is of red and purple jasper and Carrara alabaster adorned with statuettes and cherubs. 'he middle stage Is of green and yellow jasper decorated with beautiful bronze plates representing Incidents in the life of the saint. The highest of the three stages Is surrounded by a lovely rail ng of red jasper rarked with white pots, the adornments being figures of angela, while its middle portion Is graced with columns elegantly carved, whose intervening spaces are surmount d by arches showing further incidents in thelifeof thesaint The frieses of the four lateral columns are of black tone and the plinths of yellow jasper. urmounting this las~t stage lies the coffn overlaid with silver, a gorgeous receptacle embellished with many ex quisite specimens of relief work. Lumps of silver depene1ng around com plete the adornment of the shrine. It Is a worthy relic of Goa's departed glo The bell of the Augustinian convent still rings forth its vesper peal above this old city of ghosts, and it is impos sible to forget the effect of the deep, mournful notes as they strike dpen the ear. Kever was heard a more beautiful or more, sadly musical summons than that which calls in vain from the tower of the Augustinians to the forsaken and solitary city. It Is all sunimed up in the eloquent apostrophe of Sherer: "Goa the golden exists no more; Goa, where the aged Da Gamas closed his glorious life; Go, where Ile immortal Camoens-sang and sufered. It is now but a vast and grassy tomb, and* it seems as If Its thin and gloomy population ef priests and friars were only spared to chant re quiems for its departed souls."-t. mes Gazette. A Rigid Duteh Latw. More than 200 years ago the Dutch rulers of Ceylon. anxious to retain their monopoly of~ the precions splee for which that island is famous, enacted a law which made It a capital offense to buy or sell the wild jungle cinnamon. then the only sort known. The plants, wherever found. were held to be the property of the state. If a shrub chanced to spring up in a man's door yard, he could neither destroy nor use it under severe penalties.

Fantastie Wooden Objects That Are Fashioned In the Orient. The fantastic wooden objects which come from the far cast and are known as tea root carvings hire long been the basis of a prosperous industry In the populous city of Fuchau. Strictly speaking, the name is a misnomer. Some of the carvings ard made from old tea roots and tea trunks, but the vast majority, nine-tenths at least, are made from the roots and trunks of h'ardwood trees. The carvings are almost invariably made in two parts,.a pedestal and one or more human figures fitted to -the -lat ter by pegs and holes. The former is made from a root and the latter from a trunk. 'She roots are selected with con siderable care. They must be compara tively free from dry rot, decay and worm holes and must possess a rude symmetry. They are cleaned, scrub bed and scraped and sawed to about the desired size; then the artist with chisel, gouge, knife and pinchers re moves rootlets and roots until the fig ure is completed. The simplest design is a three legged pedestal, of which 1he base is a rough cylinder of wens and knobs. Any num ber of legs may be used. A curious specimen seen by the writer in the Grand hotel, Yokohama, has ity legs, while the body has been so treated as to suggest a horny centiped. A second type of pedestal is the mushroom. A third type Is an animal form, such as fhe buffalo, tiger, unicorn, elephant or dragon. Nearly always the chisel Is guided by humor or satire. If it be a saint who is depicted, the look of piety or suffer ing is replaced by a leer or drunken grimace; if it be a warrIc, every limb and muscle Is molded so as to suggest decrepitude or a desire to run away. Quang Ti, the Invincible soldier prince, is frequently portrayed stand ing on one leg, with the other extended like a professional rope balancer.-New York Post. WATERFALLS IN JAPAN. They Are Almost Countless and Are Used as shrines. The waterfalls of Japan are almost countless. There is one at every turn, and where there was not one In the beginning the Japs hare made one, for it is their passion.

The Japs -are great at making pil grimages .anyway. When a man has reached the age of forty-five, he is sup posed to have raised a family which will In the future take care of him. About the first thing he does on retr ig Is to start on a series of pilgrimages Sometmes he joins a band of fellow pilgrims, or, if comparatively wealthy e sometimes takes his wife and a mi nor child and makes the plgrimaages by himse'lf. These pilgrim bands can al ways be seen mpving about the coun try. They carry little banners with the name of their city and district marked on them, and when they have received good entertainment at a teahouse oz hotel they hang one of their banners up In a conspicuous plate as a testimonial Often a baind of pilgrims will travel from one end of the country to the oth er, visiting every temple and waterfall In the land. STREET CRiES- IN CAIRO. Sonds an2d Voices That Traveler" Hear In the Egyptian City. Take a chair outside a busy cafe near the market place and tram center and watch street life. There are ne hungry men, no starving, pinched child faces, no finger worn mofhers, for this is a land of plenty, and the people's wants are ,few and simple. Thus sun shine and laughter spray a welcome fragrance over the novelty and ro mance of the gay city's streets. Here is a street melodist twanging a monster one stringed "something" and accom paniedl by a nose ringed girl who taps deftly on a species- of tambourine, whie bystanders ejaculate "Allah, al Iah!"-the Arabfe word for applause. If not quite in accord with your preju dices concerneg music, well, maalaish (never mind), it is not nearly so dis tracting as a street corner at home, and they will go away If you tell them to. The baboon, the donkey and boy are in evidence, with a score of perforing tricks that are very original and cer tainly funny, and you console yourself with the hope of a minimum~ of cruelty in the training. A fruit seller, basket on head, with luscious grapes andl figs, saunters by, singing in a quaint minor: "O grapes, swet grapes, that are larger tharn doves'' eggs and sweeter than new cream! 0 angels' food, delicious figs, bursting with honey, restorers of health!" There is a drink seller, bent under the weight of the odd shaped jar slung over his shoulder, a lump of ice projecting from its mouth, conjuring~ custom i a similar strain as he struts up and down, making the air resound with the rhythmical clap clap of twc brarn saucers: "0 refreshment of the weary! 0 quencher of parched lips! O) blessing of heaven!" Aother street cry which may be heard in the main street of Abbassleh, a suburb, contains the following entie ig announcement: "Tomorrow, 0 peo ple, Iam gong tokill a caiel! The doctor 'says, It 18 young and healthy. Oh, Its flesh will be tender as the quail and juicy as lamb. Its price is but 14A plasters (7 cents) a pound. Do you love the sweet flesh of the camel?

Eminent scientists assert that ti small toe of the human foot will I crowded out of existence by the end< the present century. Such is the vie of chiropodists generally and of phys clans who have given the matter mo3 than passing consideration, says ti Philadelphia Press. Just as, according to Darwin, the ta was crowded out of the human bon skeleton many ages back because It ha no useful functions to perform, just the vermiform appendix, the only a: parent function of which Is to necess tate dangerous and expensive open tins, will eventually find no place human anatomy, so, according to pre ent indications, the littlejoe must ult mately disappear aIgogether.

The black steamboat roustabout of the Mississippi is as much part and parcel of the river as is the water and quite as necessary. There is an tIn d pression that the roustaboit is a much h abused individual, an inclination to e class him along with the slavelike cir ieus hand. This is wholly wrong. The roustabout is traveler, nomad, auto e crat, man of leisure. He Is little seen d on the upper river, but in St. Louis, - Memphis and Orleans there are enough of him to man five times as many ,e boats as touch at those ports. Yet r lower river packets have trouble in shipping full crews of the blacks. They h are compelled to ship for each trip sep arately, because it does not please the rouster to take more than one trip in a month. The balance of the time he plays gentleman of affluence. On the. Memphis levee I listened to a group of the brawny-fellows as they lolled with n in the shade of a freight pile. Not one t- was there who had not visited at some time every point in the Mississippi val e ley at which the steanoat calls. They d were equally at home in Pittsburg or d Orleans, Little'Rock or Chattanooga. In summer the rousters are fairly willing to work, though they exercise fine discrimination in the matter of boats, but in the fall, when steamers are plentiful and labor scarce, they become exceeding coy. They do not s gather around the hiring mate then. He has to -come to them. They regard d coldly the average monthly wase. e They ask for$60 and even for.G,Aad 9 they get it. If they hold a gg against the mate of a boat they 4e! mand his discharge and get that-too. But the moment, summer or winter, r that the roustabout steps upon a steam er's forecastle his hots- of ease are done. He works day and- gt..:adrt of work no white man c- sta lor even twelve hours. He oleeps:M-odd e minutes between landings . wled on deck or cotton bale. He weam-AMtm e usually-trousers and shoes and- inds t them burdensome.
