Standardization.

A novel and ingenious plan to enablo
n person to identity himself under all
circumstances, as when casnsng a check
or money order OF obtaining registered
letters or mail matter, has recently been
invented. It is IN the form of an 'fden-
sIfoation card" which is inclosed in a
morocco case so that it can be carried
around by the owner conveniently.
The card contains in one corner
miniature photograph of the person to
whom it is issued, with his signature
below. Beneath this IS the attestation
of a notary public to the geauineness
OF tAe photograph AMI signature.
On another division of the card is
registered the name. occupatjc7. place
of birth, age and citizenship of the pos
SCISSOR, together with an accurate de-
scription Of him and his place of resi-
dence. Room is also left in another
column for signatures and addresses Of
any references that the bearer may
have.
\ similar but less perfect system of
identification card has been in use for
some time in Europe and IS required by
law in some places. Blnks aud trust
companies il this country which have
heard Of the system say that 1t is just
the thing they have wanted for a long
time, and declare that It will do away
completely with many Of the inconven-
iences and delays which are now exper :
fenced in the daily course of business
in identifying persons who present
checks and orders for payment aad can
not properly identify thamselves,--

Shameful Pepper Adulteration.

The pepper of commerce Is furnished
by the Piper nigrum, or black pepper
plant, which grows in the East and
West ladies. There are two varieties
of pepper, known as "black" aad
"whito" pepper and both are obtained
from the same plant. 3 ack ground
pepper is the entire berry of the plant
rcd"ce to powder, while the white
consists of the same Ierry decorticatcd
or deprived Of its outer black husk OF
covering. T lie consumer Of pepper can
be accommodated with an article adul-
terated to any extent from ten to ninety
per cent, and if he prefers to do his
own alultcration, New York "manu.
facturcr of spico mixtures will supply
HIN with the requisite material, while
another New York house will make
goods to order for wholesale grocors
and druggists" and furnish 'spice mix
lures" From inquiry among the trade
in this city it would seem that the pep.
per mixture caa bo furnished at from
two to five cents per poU2d, while pure
pepper will cost about eighteen cents
per pound. The Uaitcd States agricul-
tural department chemists found bran,
roasted shells, corn, cracker dust, char
coaI and fbrous matter in samples of
pepper B fillmore Sun.

AntinHitY Of Brickmaling.


Brickmaking is one of the oldest
trades in the world. The Egyptians
taught to the Greeks, and they in turn
taught it to the Romans. Some OF the
bricks made hundred of years before
Christ are sill in existence and they
are better than the modern article.
The wages of brickIayers have been
steadily increasing. In Babylon brick
layer got forty cents a day; in Rome,
under the empire, he was paid a dollar,
and in London in the sixteenth century
he got two dollars. The average pay
for bricklayer in this country is $3.50
for days work.

Grab Farms.

The crabs are sent to this city, says
tn New York Telegram, from Long
Island, New jersey Delaware, Mary
land, Virginia and perhaps from bays
and inlets further south. All persons
who 60 to market know how the crust
oceans are shipped. They come in fat
Slated boxes or crates, wrapped in
damp, salt-smelling seaweed or grass.
They are very cheap at the water side
and rather expensive in market. Per-
haps the finest crabs are found in the
waters of the Delaware and Maryland
peninsula. The Chesapeake and its
hundreds Of tributaries on one side, aad
the Atlantic, with its many bays and
iaIets, on the other, abound il all good
things that swim. Not the least Of
these is the crab. From Uavce de
Grace to Cape Charles the soft she'll
crab is eaten IN abundance by the in-
habitants, and the surplus is shipped
north to feed the epicures of New York
and New EagIand.
The shallow waters about Chi1cot-
eague Island, on thu Atlantic side of
Accomac county, Virginia, swarm with
soitshell crabs at this season. Whoever
goes to Chincoteaguc fads set before
him at dianer oysters in at least
three styles, white perch and crabs.
Hot bread is an invariabIe accompa1i-
ment.
Down in Sussex county, Delaware, is
perhaps the only crab farm in the
world. 1t is on Indian river, a shall
low stream flowing into Iadian River
bay, and is farmed, oddly enough, by
one of the few surviving Indians OF
the peninsula.
This particular Indian is ono of 8
score or so who farm their own lands
and live as civilized a life as any
white inhabitant OF their native state.
Strangely enough, too, they have a
special school system of their own,
because they will not send their chill
dren to the schools set apart for col
Ored children and are not permitted
to send them to tho schools for
whites. The crab farm is a very sue
cessful institution, where the farmer
studies the ways of the crab, provides
or him tho most suitable food and
promptly takes him out Of his native
element when the market offers the
most lnducement. Hundreds of crates
of sofr-hell crabs are sent up from the
peninsula every season and not a few of
Jhem come from the Indian River crat

Roman Vanity Originated Miniatures.

The origin of the word "miniature'
is as follows: In the golden days Of Ro-
nan literature to be a successful author
was to be as great as a king, for kings
looked to their poets for Immortality,
as Augustus Cp5ar did to Horace.
Hence it was to be expected that authors
would feel their importance and display
more or less vanity. O-c of their weaks
nesses was to see their portraits painted
in artistic fashion in their parchment
books. This work was intrusted to ar.
lists called ''miaiatores, " that is, artists
whose work was largely done in vermi,-
ION, a color extracted from cinnabar,
and called by the Romans minimum"
Those "miniatOres' chose the oval form
for their beautifully brilliant portraits
on the parchment books, and hence the
origin Of the term 'miniature," a small,
hand painted oval or round portrait
