Newfoundland.

Attorney General Winters. of New.
|foundland, told our correspondent that
the lonely little island might possibly
Join the Dominion if sufficient induce
ments were offered. but that she is
happy as she is and is willing to remain
50.
Well, Newfoundland is the picket
guard OF The Atlantic Coast, and a
very picturesque province. The popu-
lation is about 100000, of which num-
Der more than 1000, mostly heads of
families, are directly or indirectly
engaged In the fishing business.
1t is easy TO see the relative value OF
the fisheries when we say that last year
one million two hundred and fifty
thousand quIntals of cod were exported, g,
while only three hundred thousand
bushels of potatoes were raised; and,
though the area of the island Is forty
thousand square miles, only forty seven
thousand acres are under tillage. The
people are the hardest OF the hardy,
but they live, for obvious reasons, al
most exclusively on the seacoast, the
inland territory being so much of a
terre incOgnitd that there is scarcely a
correct map of the island extant,
These sailor folk are tremendous tea
drinkers, and their consumption of
tobacco is prodigious. 1t requires
nearly eight hundred thousand pounds
of the decoction that cheers but not
inebriates to satisfy the demand, and
something like nine hundred thousand
pounds of tobacco to satisfy their
luxurious tastes.
Yes, Newfoundland, with its copper
mines, its coal, its two hundred mills
and manufactures, and Its great fish
erles, is very interesting bit of real
estate,

c Floating Gardens or the Aztecs.

During all their wanderings,
wherever they stopped, the Aztecs cul-
tivated the earth and lived upon wha :
nature gave them. Surrounded by
enemies, in the midst of a lake where
there were but few fish, necessity aud
industry compelled them to form float
ing gardens on the bosom of the waters.
They wound together the roots of
aquatic plants, intertwined with twigs
and branches until they formed a foun-
dation sufficiently strong to support a
soil they drew from the bottom of the
lake, and on it they sowed their needed
maize and .chilo. These floating gar
dens were about a foot above the
water and of various forms, the most
effective being long and narrow, called
cintas, or ribbons. With their natural
taste for flowers, they added the orDa-
mental to the useful, and these small
gardens multiplying, were covered with
flowers and aromatic herbs, which were
used in the worship or their gods, or
sent TO decorate the palace Of the en-
peror.
What a picture of delightful lnde-
pendencel The peaceful Indian could
anchor his fowery home where he
willed, float beyond social cares or
political burdens, and from pryIng
neighbors and poll parrot gossip, he
could quickly paddle awayl In these
secure retreats the spendthrift could
elude his creditors, the bank defaulter
hide from the mlniohs of the law.

alue Of an Eyelash.

A Washington financier, who is well
acquainted with Colonel Lew Washing
ton, the teller of Lewis, johnson and
Co.'S. bank, said that it was at the
close of business hours, and Colonel
Washington was poring and perspiring
over a long column of figures on the
balance sheet. The sum total of the
column should have read $4,000. In
stead of that amount. however, it
showed "A total of 5000, or 5000 more
he could az count for. The vexat.ous
mistake caused the Colonel to scratch
his head vigorously and wonder where
the excess was in the column of ago.
nizing figures.
While going carefully over the col
umns for the twentieth time he dis
covered the error, and it was one that
would hardly occur once in 1000 years.
One of the Colonel's eyelashes had
fallen on the balance sheet and adhered
to the first in the line of figures,
$1,000, making a perfect figure 0 of the
nought. increasing the whole amount
to $1,000 instead of $4,000. Going down
the column the twentieth time be
brushed the eyelash away with his fin
ger. Hereafter, Colonel Washington
says, he will go over his balance sheets
with a street scraper before he begins
to add the columns.

A MEAN MILLIONAIRE.
IL Man Who Squeezes a Penny Till
the Indian on It YelIs.

A financial man of the Listeners
acquaintance tells some interesting
stories OF a veneral Boston capitalist,
whose name, If published, would "be
well known and widely recognized''-
as the interyIewers of anonymous per-
sons always say-and which, for that
very reason, VIII not be given here.
The capitalist originated in a Massa-
chusetts country district, where ideas
OF thrift are instilled into peoples
minds In their ultimate New England
minuteness, and in this mans case the
seeds Of instruction in economy fell
upon friendly ground. To what extent
he improved upon his education in that
direction one story will illustrate. He
once visited dentist, who filed down a
tooth that had given him trouble. Not
long afterward another tooth began to
give him pain In somewhat the same
way; whereupon the capitalist went to
hardware store, bought cheap file,
took 1t home and had his son-in-law
file long and patiently upon the tooth.
But there is another story that Illus
trates perhaps even more strongly the
old gentleman's thrift. He used to
drive his own carriage, two-horse
top-buggy. One day, Just before
Thanksgiving, he drove down to
Fanuell Hall Market to bargain foI
and get his turkey for the frugal but
traditional feast at his house. AS he
drove up boy started out as if to Offer
to hold his team. AT the same moment
he saw his cashier, arriving on foot.
"Well, Smith," said the capitalist to
the cashier, ''where are you goingl''
''Going to market to get a turkey ful
Thanksgiving" said the cashier.
Yes. Well. I'll tell you what we'll
do. L know 'em in her, and If you'll
hold my horses, | think can go in and
buy two turkeys 50 that they'll come
cheaper to us than il we bought sepa.
rately."
"All right said the cashier. He
took up his station at the horses head:
while the old man went into the mar.
ket. AS he stood there, kicking hi:
feet against the. e.curbstone to keep them
warm, a horrible suspicion came oveI
him that his employer had no idea OF
buying two turkeys, but had simply
adopted the plan as ruse to get hin
10 hold the horses and save the five
cents that would be expected by 9
small boy as the minimum compensa
| ton for holding the horsesl The ole
man was gone long time, looking fol
bargain, no doubt. After awhile ht
hove in sight through the door and
with but a single turkey, done up il
brown paper, under his arm.
"No use, Smith," said he, So
coldn't make it go. We can do Just a!
well to buy on our own account
Seein' that that was the case, thought
probably you'd want to buy your tur
key yourself"
He got into the carriage and drove
away, leaving the cashier the happ!
consciousness that he had, at the sacri
ice OF his time and comfort, saved /;
millionaire five cents.

Dress OF the Earlier Germans

Tacitus, in his Germany, thus de
scribes the dress of the natives: "The
universal dress is a plaid (sagum),
fastened with ! brooch. or, falling that,
a thorn. The rich are distinguished by
a dress that is not flowing, like that of
the Sarmatians and Parthians, but
tight. and showing the outline of every
hmb. Nor does the dress of women
differ from that OF men. except that
thew more frequently wrap then, selves

For a very little girls joke this isn't
