Trouble in n Gold Camn

Great excitement exists in the Lower
California gold mining camps and thou
sands of desperate gold hunters are
breathing vengeance against the inter
national company of English capital
lists whose agents lay claims to the
mines and are trying to shut
out Americans and others.
When it became known that
the company had sent to San Francisco
for 5000 Cinnamon to work the mines,
the American and Mexican miners held
a mass meeting and determined not to
submit to the coming of coolies They
also framed petition to the American
Congress asking protection. The situa-
ton looks threatening and a battle be-
tween the independent miners and the
English company's men is looked for
every moment. Blood Will certainly be
shed if the company insists on bringing
coolies to the camp.

Rest In a Rocker.

In his book on Jonathan and His Cont
nent," Max ORell describes how Americans
enjoy themselves at the winter resorts in the
south. He tells somewhat derisively Of how
they get up and breakfast and then sit on
rocking chairs on the piazzas and wait for
lunch time-then to racking chairs again,
where they wait for dinner-after dinner
rocking chairs again until bedtime This is
a good deal the style of it in the southern re-
sorts, but the rather dull Frenchman seems
to think they would be better engaged in pic
MICS and excursions, and fishing or going
about, but if he had known Americans bet
ter, he would know that to many rocking
chair, on piazza with the pleasures of fresh
air, warm sunshine, peaceful quiet and books
and papers is picnic enough; that to go he'll
terskeltering over the country in pursuit Of
pleasure and excitement is not the American
idea of rest.
After the whirl and excitement and mad
ding crowd of city life, nothing for time is
more restfully blissful under southern suns
than rocking chair on a piazza, where the
gay and giddy world can be seen passing as
in a panorama before those who find in the
sky and air and breeze and balm OF flowers
the rest they crave and love- The French
idea OF monday may DC 10 Do forever Oh
the CO." orgad-rushing hither and thither-
but to the health seeker, the tired man Of
business or the run down housekeeper pi-
azza and rocking chair and something to
read have charms beyond expression. 1t
may not be a French fashion, or so English,
you know, but it shows that Americans enjoy
the liberty of doing as they please and of
spending their holidays in most striking con-
trast to their rush of business. Aiken IS c.

of them. 1t was too much for him; he
couldn't stand it; so, getting up from his

a corner of the court room. He turned up
the bag to pour the coveted COOLERS into his

MaIIcable Glnss.

Ncri, whose book on glass was published at
Florence in 1912, says, In the time Of Tibe
rius was invented way of making glass NAL
leable, thing afterward lost and to this day
wholly unknown, for if such a thing were
now known without doubt it would be more
esteemed for its beauty and incorruptibility
than silver or gold, since from glass there
ariseth neither smell nor taste, nor any other
quality" But though unknown to the old
Italian, the art was practiced in Persia, if we
may believe Bailey, who says that in 1910
Sophi, emperor of Persia, sent to King Philip
III, of Spain, six glasses that were nalleable
and would not break by being hammered,
and B!acourt tells that an inventor having
preae:.ted bust Of malleable glass to Richie
Hy@. io!J, was rewarded for his ingenuity by
perpetual imprisonment, lest the vested inter
