sounds, which cannot be taught, but only
learned, is the cause of an essential force
of expression such as perhaps never stood
at the command of any other language of
men.
In Glasgow, Scotland, recently, Sheriff
Lees decided very unusual case. George
Sharp, builder, applied to have Jane
Hanah, a friend of his wife, interdicted
for entering his house in his absence.
Jane defended the case, stating that she
had Mrs. Sharp's permission to come to
the house. This was not denied by Mr..
Sharp, but he stood on his rights, that
Mrs. Sharp could not receive any visitor
wishes. This contention, the sheriff says,
is sound law, and has granted the interdict
asked.
An interesting transmission of power by
electricity has been carried out near
Domene, in France, where power equal to
| 200 horse power is transmitted to a paper
mill at distance of 81 miles from the
| waterfall utilized. An interesting feature
| of this installation is that for two months,
| in the heart of the winter, the generating
works are entirely cut off by the snow
from the paper mill where the power is
utilized, but, nevertheless, the work goes
on smoothly and steadily, connection with
the inhabitants of the valley being main
tanned by telephone.
A strange freak in the fruit-growing
line is attracting the attention of farmers
at Dover, Delaware While all through
Kent county, even in the best kept and
most skillfully cultivated orchards, hardly
| a peach can be found, down on the bay
shore, near Woodlawn Beach, stands a
peach orchard, the trees of which are
loaded down with finely developed fruit.
The most singular thing about this, in the
estimation of fruit growers, is that while
even in the best sheltered orchards, those
entirely surrounded by woods, all the
fruit was destroyed by the March storms,
the ff9t of this particular orchard, un-
sheltered and in every way exposed, has
lived and thrived.
In Russia tea drinking is on the increase
There are many little shops where nothing
else is served, and these places are fitted
up most deliberately. The walters, all
men, are attired in white from head to
foot, with large black purse at the waist
Tea is drunk alone or with lemon, and the
sugar eaten from the hand. Eleven or fif-
teen cups are not too many for an old tes
drinker. On the other hand in Japan 9
revolution is taking place in the drinking
habits of the natives in favor of beel
brewed on the German method. In Osaka
where four years ago there were thirteen
beer saloons, there are now 600. ''Saki,
kind of brandy made from rice, once t
favorite with the Japanese, has fallen int
disuse as the lighter beer has been taker
up. Years ago the Japs were wont tS
drink 100, ,OOO, 900 gallons of "saki" annu
ally.
According to a correspondent of th'
Boston Pilot, Irish-Americans own and
operate nearly all the mines of M2ptani
and Idaho. They run the mines and poll
tics of Montana, and they are more power
full in this new State than any other ele
ment of the population. One of them
Marcus DAILY, is known as the Mining KIM
, of Montana The same correspond
ent says that Butte, Montana
is the most wicked city il
the world. ''There are" he says
''churches and schools and temples galore
but side by side are gambling houses
where through the long hours of the nigh
crowds of anxious men jostle one anothel
and win and lose money by the thousand
On every side are seen great halls witt
fiaring lights and long lines of tables pilet
with silver and gold, and bar in the cor
ner, where men drown the SORROWS of tn
gambling table in costly wines and drink
Add to this the vice generated by motle,
host of outcast men and women, who ar
drawn thither by the phenomenal pros
! perity and wealth of the great mining city
and some conception can be had of tn
dangers that await the thoughtless or un
wary young man that ventures here"
