 The borax deposits near Inyo, Colorado, are apparently inexhaustible. They are usu- ally but few inches in thickness where first opened, but get thicker as they are pene- trated, till they attain depth of tive feet or more. Thousands of acres are covered by the deposit. Adjoining the borax deposits are vast beds of soda and salt Great mounds of salt lie around, glittering white, that con tain thousands of tons. The salt is fit for use as mined. The proportion of pure borax ranges from 30 to 90 per cent. From the works it is hauled in wagons to Mojave, @ distance of 160 miles.
 Said Henry Cabot Lodge in recent speech: Let me give you @ single instance of these splendid foreign markets that we are urged to go after in single industry with which am somewhat familiar. The possible foreign market for boots or shoes that we could reach is worth about $20. .00O, ,00o annually. Our own market is worth $240, ,0O0, 900 annually, and increases at the rate of S20, 900, ,0e0 a year. Shall we admit France, England, Bel gium and the rest of Europe to our $24O,- 000, eco market in order that we may have the privilege of competing with them for the possession of markets worth altogether $20,- | O00, ,000a

the present fiscal year, however, Consul Gen eral Sutton estimates that the value of ex- ports of American goods to Mexico will be in round numbers ten million dollars, of which more than half will go by American railroads to the border, and thence by rail to interior points. And this amount might readily be doubled "AlI over Mexico, :" says Consul Sutton, "people are acquiring new wants and buying more foreign goods. They are exploiting their natural products, they are importing improved agricultural inn plements which they are using more and more every year."
 The German empress, says writer in the Journal des Debats, is the soul of the impe- rial household. She is much better loved there than outside, where people are unjust to her. She has committed the mistake of and to carry the pride of her race into the middle of people which admires itself with native and enormous complaisance; she brought the pride of her birth into a family which believes itself the first in the world; her aristocratic tastes into town where art shows itself in clumsy limitations and patch work; the independence of her views into a court where everything is regulated and pre- arranged; and the liberty of her religious and political sentiments into centre where relig- ion has it's narrow forms, as the politics of which it is the servant: This independence of the princess, and the wicked habit which she had contracted of thinking for herself, rather ruffied the old Hohenzollerns. But entire harmony exists between the empress and her husband. She reads literature Adam Smith, Thornton, John Stuart Mill, Herbert Spencer and other political econo- mists.
 Seventeen years ago man walked into the rooms of the Bible society in Boston. He looked like very poor man and his clothes were tied together with strings. But he re- marked that he had property to the amount of $75, ,000 which he would like to turn over to the society if he could be guaranteed 10 per cent annually upon it for the remainder of his life, his age then being se7enty-nine. The officers took his name, verified his sched- ule of his possessions and submitted the case to the directors. They looked the matter over in the light of actuaries' tables, etc., and finally after much deliberation decided that the risk was too great and go notified the would-be donor. Not long after he came back and renewed his proposition te turn the money over to the society and said that he would be content with 2 per cent. annu- ally. That proposition was accepted, and for some years he appeared regularly at the ex- piration of the year and drew his interest, taking $200 in cash and the eompany's note for the balance. After doing this for seven years or so he turned those notes back to the company, saying that he had no use for them. He is now, at the age of ninety-six, blind, deaf and crippled by fall so that he cannot walk, and the Bible society pays the bills for his support.

Come to the window, sweet is the night air! Only, from the long line of spray Where the sea meets the moon blanched sand, Listen! you hear the grating roar Ofpebbles which the waves draw bsck and fling At their return up the high strand Begln, ana cease, and then agaIn begin, ...g With tremulous cadence slow, and bring The eternal note of sadness in Sophocles long ago Heard it on the Egean and it brought Into his mind the turbid ebb and flow Of human misery; we Find also in the sound a thought Hearing it by this northern sea. The sea of faith Was once too, at the full, and round the earth's
 shore Lay like the folds of bright girde furrd. But now only hear Its melancholy, long withdrawing roar, Retreating, to the breath Of the night wind, down the vast edges drear And naked shingles of the world. An love, let us be true Te one anetherl for the world, which seems To lie before us like land of dreams, So various, so beautiful, so new, Hath really neither joy nor love nor light Nor certitude nor peace nor help for pain; And we are here a darkling plain, Swept with confused alarms of struggles and flight Where ignorant armies clash at night.

is that the last session Of the Legislature
