Old Drum was taking walk one dny,
Just for his health. you know:
He strollcd along In u careless way
Wherever he chnnced to go.
The forest paths were green and cool.
His mind from caro- was free:
His children were safe ut the infantschOol
And his wife was getting tea.
They had corn from the field OF farmer
ncur,
And honey his bees hnd made;
Yet with ali his thieving hc'~ never n fear,
Nor a thought OF the plan that was laid.
And, 80, wnen he came to u curious box
He put in his foot for fun
And the last thing he know was some terrible
knocks
And tho flash Of the farmers gun.
Now, children, believe me, you'd better take
cure;
II you're naughty and sly. don't forget
That you never can tell just when or Just
Tho trap that will catch yon is set.
You'll put your foot In 1t some dny, without

And remember the very best way to "look

A PLEASANT SURPRISE.

Reproduction of Wnshington's Head
quarters in the French Capital.
After the surrender of Yorktown and
the departure of the French, Washing
ton established his headquarters at New
burg on the Hudson. The house in
which he lived is carefully preserved
and shown as an historical museum.
There is Il pleasant story of LaFay-
ette's atlectionate remembrance OF the
life there. just before his death, which
occurred in 1884, he gave dinner
party in Paris to the American Minister
and some friends who had been old
associates Later in the evening, when
it came time for supper, the guests
were ushered into room which
was in strange contrast with the
elegance of the apartments they
had been in. The ceiling was low
with large beams crossing it; there was
single small, uncurtaincd window and
several small doors. II more like an
old-fashioned Dutch kitchen than room
in French house. A long, rough ta-
BILE was meagerly set. A dish OF meat
stood on 1t, some uncouth-looking pas
try, and wines in decanters and bottles,
ready to be poured out into glasses and
camp-mugs.
"Do you known where we are how?''
asked Lafayette, as his companions
looked about puzzled, and as II in q
dream. "Ah! the seven doors and one
window! and the silver amp-goblets

are lower than 600 feet Indeed. IL les
IN the very nature of the case that even
IL they exist, they should remain un-
known, and that, IL they were known,
they would hardly repay the cost of
fishing while It is conducted on the pres
ent system. They are scattered all
sometimes close to the shore, and some-
times at twenty-four, or even thirty,
hours hard rowing from 1t. At many
stations there is small local fishery;
but the bulk of the trade. at least in
Italy. is in the hands of large firms,
which, for the most part, have their
centcrs in Genoa, Leghorn or the Bay OF
Naples.
These firms both supply and equip
the boats, which, according to the size,
are manned by five or ten fishermen.
In addition to these padrone is allotted
to each, who exercises large disciplinary
powers. He is man of knowledge and
experience, and usually receives per-
centage on the value Of the seasons s
take, as well rs his regular pay. The
selection of the crew of his boat is oft
en- left entirely to him; he is always
consulted with respect to 1t, and enjoys
n right of veto. The men are hired for
the season, by agreement, for from sixty
to seventy francs a month, large part
of which is usually paid beforehand,
and their food, which Is of the coarsest
kind. As rule, the season lasts from
April to the end of September, but II
depends greatly on the weather, as fish
ing Is impossible in mist or when the
sea is high.
The labor is exceedingly hard. A,
dawn the padrone calls his men, and,
after short prayer, the net is lowered
from then till sunset the work continues
almost without interruption, The ex-
ertion required to let down and wind
up the net under blazing summer sun
is extreme, and it has to be done on
ship-bscuit of the coarsest kind and
water that on the more distant sta.
tions has often become foul by long
keeping. In the evening sort of soup
is made. Garlic and peperoni. the
pungent fruit of southern plant, are
boiled in water; olive oil is added. and
this is poured over biscuits which have
been broken and placed in dish. Fol
months this diet is hardly varied. and
ye' the men retain their good spirits.
After the evening meal has been taken,
they indulge in g,,itar-playing ant
singing, and on the more frequentet
banks the boats answer and vie will
each other. London Saturday RcUicW

A SACRED SHRINE.
The Miracle Working Grave of Persian
Saint Visited by Thousands.

Aue NAITaCIe- NOTklUS NTASe Ot ~ IeTHlbu
Saint Visited by Thousands.
The Persian thinks an awful deal OF
the shrine of Shah Zadeh Abdul Aim,
erected in mosque but short distance
further on from the ruins of Rhci, on
the road to Ispahan. The mosque has
broad dome, like all Persian mosques,
heavily gilt, and that gltters in the
fierce sunlight so as to make your eyes
ache when Il mile away. Around the
mosque number of other fine mosques
have been built, and a flourishng little
town-strange sight that in PcrsIa-has
grown up all around it. The road tc
the shrine is level and in fair condition,
and il is every day from sunrise to sun
down thronged with the pilgrims re.
sorting to the miracleworking grave OF
the saint. These pilgrims are of all con.
ditions and stations, the women and
girls prcdominating, however. and car
riagcs, carts, wagons, takhteravans Qit-
ters) and kedshawehs (big baskets, one
on each side of the horse or mule)
bearing the piously inclined, as well
as horses, camels, mules and donkeys
performing the same office, pass back
wards and forwards in endless rotation
all through the sunny season, from
April to December. As l said, these
pilgrims, or hadjees, are of every walk
of life. from the mightiest TO the
humblest; from the feeble old man tot
tering under the weight of years to the
lusty child of three. Even the Shah re.
sorts to this shrine. and before he un-
dertakes any lengthy voyage or any
thing of an unusual nature, he goes to
bow down before the gaudy little
structure erected in the interior of the
mosque in honor of the departed
imaum.
Often petitioners will avail them
selves of this, and before Nusr- Deem
set out on his last trip to Europe, some
years ago, he was waylaid by mu-
tinous regiment. to whom request,
reasonable enough in itself, had been
refused, with the purpose of enforcing
their prayer, if need be. The Shah sped
past them in his carriage without notice,
and some of the enraged soldiers threw
pebbles at his glass doors, one breaking
pane and few spl;nters striking him
in the face. He had nearly the whole
regiment put to death or mutilated for
this afterward-all he could get, at
least. That the women are in the
majority among these seekers after the
saints favor may appear strange. but it
is easily explained. First of all, the
Persian women are better Mohammed-
ans than the men, and then they have
more requests to make. They will ask
for anything-from husband to the
death of rival or of her child. 1t is
said that they also use this trip for the
purpose of atiiording them rare OPP
pertunity for flirting and intriguing.
The fact is true, ut least, that you will
meet more handsome women and girls
on this brief stretch of six miles of road
in u day, and more unveiled ones, than
you can anywhere else in month. =

VALUABLE DISCOVERY.


Commercial Importance of the Recently
Located Black Hills Tin Mines.
The recent discovery of great deposits
of tin in the Black Hills has been gener-
ally noticed in tho press, but does not
seem to have attracted the attention it
deserved. With the exception of iron
there is no one metal which enters so
largely into domestic manufacture as tin.
Kitchen utensils without number are
made from tin plate, or more properly
timed plate; the substance which we
call tin being sheet iron coated with u
tin wash. No articles are made of pure
or solid tin. Tin is also constituent
element in many other metals, of which
the principal is bronze. The vast amount
of timed plate used in roofing is ap-
parent to every one. Its cheapncss, du-
rability and beauty has made tin an in
dispensable product, and any discovery
which will lead 10 greater supply is an
object of interest. 81
Strangely enough, every known metal
has heretofore been found in this coun-
try except tin. There have been rumors
at different times of the discovery of
tin deposits, but they have lacked vcri-
fication. This time there seems to be
no mistake. The deposits are not only
very large, but the tin is of Il superior
quality, fully equal to the Cornwall
product. AT present we pay $50, ,0OO,-
900 annually for the tin we buy from
England, and if the Black Hills mincs
are all that they are represented to be
nearly all OF this money will be retained
Mt home.
Tho extraction of the metal from the
earth and its conversion into CONNER
cial form will give employment to
thousands OF men, and the plate, which
now largely comes from abroad, will
henccforth be made in this country.
Large capital will, doubtless, be needed
to develop this new industry, hut there
will be no difficulty in securing the neo-
essary funds, as the mines, II properly
worked, will bs much more lucrative
than quartz at $3. 40 n ton, as some Of
Black Hills mines are now assaying.
Altogether the discovery may justly be
called great step forward In our COM
mercial march as Q Nation. Philadel-
phia cal.

CORAL FISHING.

Exceedingly Hard Work Performed by
Frugal NcapoIitan or Genoese sailors.
The value of coral depends on its
color and its size. The white or rose
tinted variety stands highest in popular
ESTEEM, perhaps chiefly because it is the
rarest 1t is mostly found in the Straits
oi Messina and on some parts of the
African and Sandman coasts. The
bright red coral, in which the polyps
are still living when it is iishcd up,
stands next in value. Dead coral has a
duller tint, and is consequently sold ut
a lower price. Two entirely different
substances bear the name of black cor
al. One OF them is not, properly speak
ing, coral ut all. and It is commercially
worthless, as it breaks into flakes in
stead of yielding to the knife, though it
is often sold ss costly curiosity to
foreigners. The other is the common
red coral, which has undergone sea
change, probably through the decom-
position of the living beings that once
inhabited it. 1t is not much admired in
Europe. but in India it commands high
prices, so that large quantities of it are
exported every year. These are the
four important distinctions of color,
though they. of course, include inter-
med ate tints, which rank according to
their cearncss and brilliancy
The size is a still more important
matter The thickness of the stem of
the coral plant-wc use the commercial
and entirely unscientitic expression
determines its price, and many Il branch
of red coral is valued more highly on
account of its thickness than II smaller
piece OF the chO Ger rose color. The
reason for this is clear. A large
straight piece of material affords an op-
portunity to the artifice; Il crooked one,
if il is only bulky enough. can mt least
he turned into large beads; mere points
and fragments can only be used for
smaller ones, or made into those horns
which are said to be invaluable against
the evil eye, but which do not command
a high price in the market, perhaps be-
cause it is overstOcked.
The instrument with which the coral
is taken consists of two strong beams of
hard wood, which are fastened together
in the form of cross by metal clasp
ings, to which weight is added.
Strong hcmpen nets are fastened to the
arms. When bank is reached this
pr rmitivc instrument is lowered, and
moved up and down against the sub.
marine rocks by means of ap.tan
turned by the whole of the boats crew,
except the padrone, who directs the
movement of the apparatus by means
OF Il second rope, which is attached to
the chief one some feet above the point
where the latter Is secured to
