Congressman John Allen, of Mississippi,
in addition TO being one of the wits of
the House, is also something of a
''plunger" in society. He was present
at musicale given at the Shoreham by
Mrs. jeanette Thurber few evenings
ago, and talked music with Il tluency
that astonished some of those who heard
him. During the evening Mrs. ThurbeI
engaged the Mississippi Congressman in
conversation for few minutes, and in
cidentally inquired if he was familiar
with the study of music.
"Oh, yes" replied Mr.. Allen,
promptly. 'I am something of musician
myself. In fact / am so fond of music
that introduce it into my everyday life
with very beneficial effect. control my
wife and family and govern my entire
household by the power of my music"
II don't quite comprehend you,"
answered Mrs. Thurber, smiling.
"Well, said Mr.. Allen, with merry
twinkle in his eye, sit is just like this:
When l request my wife or any member
of my family to do anything, and they
refuse, l threaten to sing. They i'm

A Natural Gas Field.

In a narrow rocky gorge only mile
from NordhoiT is burning steady, in
extinguishable flame, which would in
most places be the cause of much ex-
citement in financial circles. Large
cities and immense manufacturing en-
terprises have been built up on such
resources as are here wasting themselves
in natures wilds. Down the steep rocks
flows a tiny stream, covered with oil
wherever a pool is formed, and its rugged
bed is covered with asphaltum. A rough
trail leads a half mile up the canyon to a
barren ridge, where, amid the calcined
rocks and crumbling shale the gas oozes
out Of innumcrablo creyiccs and burns
with a steady flow that shows a large sup
ply behind somewhere. Il has now been
burning some two weeks or more and all
efforts 10 extinguish il have been failures.
We are glad 10 say that prospects are
good for a development and utilization
OF this discovery. The working OF a
valuable gypsum deposit on the Ryerson
ranch is also under consideration, and
other enterprises which, il carried out,
will bring about material progress in the
valloy.-N0rdhog( (Cai) T'e0.

Rights ON Other Mems Lands.

A paper by Mr.. Hyde Clarke, on "Tht
Rights of Property in Trees" on the land
Of another, relates to a curious custom of
primeval times which still survives in
some lands. The author first met it as a
land judge in Asia Minor in 1862, when he
was called upon to grant compensation
for olive-trees belonging to one or more
persons on the lands of others, and for
honey-trees or boards of wild honey in
State or communal forests. Papers read
by the Rev. DIR. Codington gave infor-
nation of the existence of like system
in Melanesia. 1t likewise prevails, ac-
cording TO Mr.. Crocker, of the British
North Borneo Company, in Borneo, IN re-
spect to the katapang, or honey-tree, and
also in the case of caves containing edi-
BILE bird's-nest. Sir Spencer st. John
also observes that in Borneo the land
nominally belongs the State or tribe, but
the ownership is not a private property
in land in our sense of the word. He had
observed that certain of the tapang, on
which the bees construct their nests,
often belonged to special families, and
were not touched by their neighbors.
Sir Thomas Wade has found a similar
right in China, where, when hill farms or
gardens are leased, the tenant will pay
the proprietor yearly rent. All tir-trees
or bamboos on the ground before it is let
belong to the proprietors, and the tenant
is not free to appropriate them. If there
were no such trees on the ground when it
was let, and such trees were subsequent
ly planted by the tenant, they would be
at his disposal. Separate property in trees
is also traceable in India, particularly in
Chota Nagpore, where Mr.. ]. F. Hewitt
has frequently found that fruit-trees
growing on land are owned by persons
other than the owners or cultivators of
the soil. The mhowa-trees, which are
exceedingly valuable, are frequently di-
vided among the inhabitants of the vii
lagos near which they grow. The indi-
vidual property in trees is not in Turkey
confined to Asia Minor, but prevails as a
general law in the empire. Miss Pauline
lnby found it in Bosnia, and bought an
interest of the kind in certain estate.
1t seems also to have anciently existed in
the British Islands, and is recognized in
the Brehon records of Ireland. But there,
and in most European countries, the
vestiges of the separate rights have ceased
to exist.-Poputdr Science Monthly.

A Coal Oil Magnate's Millions.

John Rockefeller was once newspaper
reporter, and less than two decades ago
was a business man of only moderate
means in Cleveland, Ohio. His attention
was attracted to the opportunities for max
ing money in the handling and refining of
the product of the Pennsylvania oil fields.
He started a comparatively small refinery,
and from that grew the most powerful
monopoly on earth-the Standard OH
Trust. How rapidly the Standard has
grown is shown by the fact that in 1850
its capital was only $4,000, 600, whereas
it is now 800. 600, 600. The par value of
the stock is 800 per share, but it is
quoted at S170. 1t pays dividends
amounting to ten per cent. per annum.
Rockefeller owns more than q majority
of the stock, so that something like Sl00,-
900, 900 Of his fortune is represented in
the trust. He also has extensive natural
gas interests in Ohio, and ia addition is
a large owner of Government bonds and
the securities of railroads and other cor
porations. .- Chicago Herald

CANNING FRUIT.

Pare all fruit with a silver knife, and,
as it darkens by exposure to the air, drop
each piece as pared into cold Water and
prepare only the quantity needed to fill
two cans.
Fruit looks and is better when whole,
the juices arc clearer aud the flavor is
more fully retained. 1t is difficult to
cook a large quantity evenly without in
iuring the shape. for this reason it is
better to cook only enough to fill a few
jars at time. In canning a crate of
berries it is well to select the finest look
ing quarts and can expressly for simple
desserts at table. Such particular can
ming will not be necessary for cooking
purposes.
Cook fruit in a porcelain-lined OF
granite kettle. If tin is used it should
be new.
Cook evenly for fifteen minutes after it
begins to boil.
There is no necessity for using sugar in
canning fruit, but one tablespoonful to a
quart of fruit is sometimes added.
When ready to can, have all articles
needed close at hand. Set the can on
two thicknesses of warm, wet flannel.
Dip out the boiling fruit with long
handled ladle, and fill the jar to over
flowing. Run a knitting needle three
times down to the bottom of the filled
can, and liberate the air bubbles.
Then, with quick movement, break the
bubbles lying on top, and seal without
the loss of a second. In ten minutes
tighten the tops again with your wrench,
and when the cans are cool wrap in
paper, and keep in a cool, dry, dark
place. Be sure there are no seeds or
sediment on the rubber ring before seal
ing. A funnel comes, which is great
convenience in filling the jars. Do not
store your cans of fruit on a swingshelf,
unless you are certain it will bear the
weight. In canning berries, dip out
most of the surplus juice, and seal,
when boiling hot, in pint cans for the
children. .-EdSterH Argus.

IN GOOD TIME.

Outlines In sunny morning hours,
The cheeriest season ever,
We say; This day must not pass by
Without some grand endeavor.n
And this we mean from honest hearts
To make and not 20 shun Il. a.
But when the evening curtain falls,
Alasl we have not done g.
But we, perhaps, take mp instead
Some little grievance gladly,
And magnify It's puny form
Aud gaze upon IL sadly,
when, maybe, this faint, tiny spark
That we are hourly tanning
Is but part Of some good work
That Godfor MS Is planning.
There is a wheel within a wheel,n
Albeit we little heed them,
And some machines need sharpened blades
And needle points, TO feed them.
And so it is, in this strange life.
Through which we journey blindly,
But when the needfu knife probes deep
We do not take It kindly.
The time will come, for those who bear
Their ills as Gods anointed,
When they shall read earths mysteries
A time by heaven appointed.
Then let us calmly watch and wait
With trusting spirits ever,
Still carrying out from day TO day
Some good and grand endeavor.

The population of the United States in
the year 1880 was so, 900, 600 and about
one-seventh. 1t is estimated that the
population in 1890 viii be nearly Ga, 500
600. The exact figures put down by the
surmisers are Ga, 442, sQ7. They, how.
ever, reckon that three of the divisions OF
the country which they have estimated
are too small; they put down Oregon at
about 262, 900, Washington at 225, ,O0O
and Wyoming at SO, 200, and say that
they are all too small. The probabilities
therefore are, says Gath in the Cincinnati
Enquirer, that the American census, il
correctly surmised, may be something
like GA, 700, 600 people.

 You can educate-you can agitafe. Wo- men get the credit of having the last word the first one as we'll. Let us then use onr words wisely.

Then smile in an apollo. getic way and say, Well, didn't suppoee you had" When she asks if there has been anything to hear" tell her in an amused tone, "Nothing but talk, and guess there never will be. am sure don't know who will give anything. It will be pretty hard work to get any ything of ike kind started. I don't know who will do anything" By all means impress her with the feeling that none of your fam fly will, and of course you will not expect her to feel any interest. Dispose of the subject as soon as possible, feeling that you have done your duty and been doing the scheme great service.
