Singular Table Tops.
New York SUM-


''The finest table in this town is one
have here" said a furniture dealer,
pointing to medium sized center table
made Of ebony, with a dark gray stone
top. A glance at the top showed that it
was perfect imitation of the grain of
tree, where the log has been sawed
square across, including an outline of
the iuncture of limb with the tree.
''How did you contrive to mark the
stone so, or did it happen to form itself
in that way2"
1--WE didn't make it and it didn't form
itself, unless the petrifcation Of tree
is called happening. This is a cross
section of a petrifed log. The petrified
forests found in some parts of the Rocky
mountain region are being utilized. The
most beautiful stone hitherto in use has
been the Mexican onyx. It had one dis
advantage 1t was impossible to get
two tables to match. When a slab was
sawed off the surface on one side of the
saw would polish up in one figure-an
irregular star, for instance-while the
surface on the other side of the saw
might look like a rainbow of three
colors An offer of 81, 900 was once
made to match an onyx table of unusual
beauty. The single one sold for $3.50. "
DO sections of petrifed trees sell as
highP'
I'm rare instances, but they are usu-
ally as low $3.50 and 175.

England Conquered by Tobacco.
t"Gath.s', Letter.

North America as settled by the
British was for good while worthless
portion of the globe, or until England
had learned to use tobacco. It was soon
found that the older nation of men did
not care much about our -four or Indian
meal or fish, but every body wanted the
tobacco. The conquest of England by
tobacco was the most thorough and
complete ever known since the time of
William the Norman. Nearly every
body wanted to try pipe and feel its
fumes in his brain. And to this day
the mantel, and after it has been well
pulled upon by most of the customers it
is sent beck to the pipe-kiln and fired
up again, and it returns to its place.

The Street FakIr.
cincinnati Times-Star.

''Do you know what fakir is2'
81 know what the popular idea"
eyes, yes, l understand, but popular
ideas are not always correct. a fakir is
a man who sells novelties in goods, and
they are as different in their methods as
the goods that they sell are different
To be q good fakir man must have
cheek, glib tongue, a little knowledge
of the article he is handling, and very
thorough knowledge of the people he is
selling to. But before talking further
let me caution you not to mix fakirs with
the common gutter merchant The first
takes novelty, and by his ability and
enterprise pushes it in the market to the
exclusion of all other articles. On the
other hand, the gutter merchant, or
street vender, provides himself with
tray, piles it up with cheap handker-
chiefs, colIar-b buttons, snide jewelry and
most anything else, and bowls his
wares about town. This class is COM
posed principally of ignorant foreigners.
The fakir is, as rule, slick man of
the world, who fits from town to town,
but most usually follows in the wake of
summer and the flowers. He is a bird
of bright plumage, who lives in the sun
shine, and pines away at the chilling
blast of winter"

Carp for the Plains.

Those who tend the great cattle herds
on the Texas plains seldom have other
than salt meat to eat. They can not
afford to kill beef just to get sirloin,
and in that climate the remainder of the
animal will not keep long. 1t is now
proposed to stock with German carp the
trenches which they dig to catch rain
water for themselves and their herds,
and thus they may have fresh fish as
food while living on the great interior
plains.

why stanley Is Not Married.
Nv. A. Croffut.]

Stanley, the African explorer, is not
married; he probably never will be.
When he first started for Africa he was
engaged to a pretty New York girl, who
wept over him for six months, gave him
up for dead in a year, married another
man within two years and had child
before her plighted lover returned from
the dark brOwed continent. This rather
embittered his life. He thought she
ought to have waited three years for
him. 1t seems to me he imposed rather
a trying test of fidelity.

RETALIATTON.

According 70 Associate Press dispatches
received last night, IL seems that Ameri-
con citizens IN China are Teaping the fruits
Of the outrages perpetrated on natives OF
the iowery kingdom in this country, and
that the retaliation takes the very indenti-
cal form used In the wild west with such
peculiar effect against the celestisls.
PIacards were placed on the buildings
Of Americans warning the "foFeiRn devlls''
that they must vacats in three days and
that their houses would be destroyed
When the Americans appeared on the
streets they were jibed at and stoned, just
like the Chinese were in this country,
When they left their houses, the latter were
burned.
In this country during the Chinese riots
they did not always wait until the houses
were vacated to burn them.
Were these Americans only portion Of
those who SO brutallY treated the Mon.
golians In our country very few voices
would be raised in protest of the treatment
meted out to them. But these victims Of
Chinese retaliation are counted among one
Of the best educated and best behaved
classes of citizens, who have gone to Chin'
only for ChinA's good, while the member
Of the Monaghan nation who have beer
l mistreated IN our country are merely thu
offscourings of q too densely populated
country, class who were of no good IL
their own land and had become a positive
| curse to ours.
But then II may be argued that as the
are not Christians over there, and have
religion which is acknowledged by man
/ of our greatest intellects TO be grand anC
good one and peculiarly adapted to tn
oriental temperament, that they may pos
sibly think that we have no better right &
force Christianity on Them than they hav
to force their national customs and cheal
labor on US. And, from strictly impair
tial stand point. they are right. Becaus
We are positive that we are right II
our manners and customs, is no reason
why we should force our convictions dow
the throAts of those who may differ Wit
Us, and the possibility may be, and n
doubt is, that our Christian missionarie
in China are about as much desplsed b.
the natives of that country as the cooll
laborers in our west are despised by al
most the entire population out there.
The lesson of all this Is to Judge MOI
that ye be not judged. For with wha
judgement ye judge ye shall be judges
also; and with what measure ye mete, /
shali be measured to you again."
And the sooner our government see
that justice Is done the humblest ''heathel
ChInee." just 30 much sooner may she ex
pect and demand that justice be don
Americans abroad, whether in Chins
Mexico, Canada or elsewhere.

Placing a daily paper in city upon a
paying basis is more difficult matter than
most people imagine. and the highways
and byways Of commercial life are strewn
with the wrecks of men who have attemp-
ted it. Many papers have only succeeded
after thousands Of dollars have been sunk
In the undertaking. The Chicago Herald
sunk hundreds Of thousands of dollars be-
fore it began to pay. and q vast amount of
money was expended on the present Chi
cago Inter-Ocean under various names be-
fore it paid dividend to its stockholders
The New York Republic ate up over $780,
600 before 1t yielded to the inevitable and
died. Several hundred Thousand dollars
was also expended upon the New York
World before It became profitable piece
Of property. The Louisville Ledger was
started with the purpose Of dividing the
field with the Courier Journal of that city,
and projectors sank over 100000 in the
undertaking before they were satisfied 10
abandon Il Is q bad job. The Cincinnati
News, after sinking 100000 or $500, 900
IN vain effort 70 establish itself, yielded
up the ghost, and many other instances
might be cited.
During the last census year. / 200 new
newspapers were started in the United
States. and 9O5 Of those previously started
died for lack OF support.
The projectors of these enterprises al
ways receive any quantity of promises of
support, and mighty little of anything
else until after long years of hard labor
and the expenditure Of large sums of
money.-K. @. Journal.
