000, ,000, 900 gallons for all English brew
eries-have been allowed to escape, but
now it is thought practicable to liquify
nearly all of it. The condensation can be
effected at cost of from one-half to one
cent pound, and as the ordinary liquid
carbonic acid costs about eight cents per
pound, the new product will at once be in
demand.
Chinese enterprise and industry on the
Pacific coast, and especially over the Cam
adian border, are not confined to the laun-
dry business. Two Chinese capitalists,
Chu Lai and Ung Sun, who arrived in Vic
toria, B. G., from Hong Kong last week,
are to erect big salmon cannery on the
Frazer river. All arrangements are COM
pleted, and the cannery will be built in
time to begin packing next season. A
syndicate of Cinnamon, with ample capital
backing it, has purchased site near Vic
toria for rice mill, and work on the erec-
ton of the mill will begin at once. The
syndicate proposes to put up a mill large
enough to supply the whole interior coun-
try with rice. The raw material will be
brought from China. There is large de-
mand for rice throughout the country,
and the syndicate expects to make lots OF
money.

HOW THEY WED IN TURKEY.
The GrOom's Mother or other Female
Relative Selects the Bride.

The GrOom,s Mother or other Female
Relative Selects the Bride.
In Turkey there is no such thing known
as a comingout party nor any kind of
debut made by young girl. The seclu-
sion of the lives of the woman and the sa-
credness in which they are held are oppos-
ed to it, besides which it is considered
somewhat of disgrace to appear to have
a daughter who seeks instead of being
sought, says an exchange.
When girls are nine years old they reach
their majority, and they are often given
in marriage at that age, though the more
generally observed rule is to marry at
fourteen or fifteen. The girl who is not
married at twenty is looked upon as very
unfortunate, and classed among the old
maids.
No man can ever behold the unveiled
face of his bride until after the marriage,
and he really does not know what she
looks like, nor does he ever speak one
word to her until she Is irrevocably his
| own.
But the young man generally succeeds
| in getting as pretty q wife as he could have
chosen for himself, and most likely fares
better than half our own bridegrooms, for
he sets his mother or his nearest female
relative to find out for him all he wants to
know.
It is not considered proper for any par
ents who have a daughter to appear to
wish to find husband for her, but there
are certain old women who make a bust
ness of knowing all the manageable girls
and young men, and to them is due the
possibility of arranging the affair.
They will see the girls at the bath or in
their homes, and then go to the mothers
of the young men and go over the list o!
the girls who knows and give a summary
of their beauty, wit and accomplish
ments.
When the young mans mother hears OF
one whose family, position and dowry as
| well as personal attraction are suitable to
her sons merits, she signifies that she
would like to see the maiden at the bath.
The old woman then visits the young
lady's mother, and invites her and her fam
ity to the bath, which is equivalent to In
viting any one to the matinee. The moth
or is carefully enjoined to take her whole

Demand for Heavy Engines.


At no time in history of railroads have
the efforts to improve the work of engines
received more attention than at the present.
Mechanics are attempting to determine the
most perfect combinations Of speed and
strength, and at the same time economic
in the use of fuel. E..>h Jea. the standard
of locomotives in this country is raised
higher, and the engines of the present time
are a great improvement on those of even
ten years ago. Some master mechanics are
of the opinion that the heaviest locomotive
now built is as heavy as it is practicable to
build one, while others predict that still
heavier passenger and freight engines will
be built and the roadbeds of the country
SO improved as to admit of high speed with
safety. even if an engine weighs one-third
more than the ten-wheel passenger engines
now in use. What the future of mechan-
ism will bring forth to increase the speed
and power of engines is q problem of inter
est to others than mechanics.

OLD MAN TATE,s PENSIONS.

He Put Up $4,000 and RivaIIed the
Pension Omee at Knoxville.
GFrom the Augusta Cronicle.l
Among the men who had watched the
growing inequality in pensions in East Ten
nessee was old man Tate. Possibly he was
kin to sturdy Sam Tate, who built the
Memphis and Charleston railroad. he saw
the Union pensioners growing in numbers
and claims year by year. He knew the fraud
in dozens of cases. He had been Demo
crat all his life and a Confederate during
the war. 1t riled him to see those sturdy
fellows who charged through the ditch at
Knoxville, and who piloted Longstreet
across the Holston on his retreat, left out
in the cold. The boys who walked bare
footed through Clinchdale or signalled
with torches while the snow was white on
Chilhowee were growing fewer every year.
Some were poor and their spirits were bro
ken. 1t hacks a mountaineer to have ito
tote the heavy end of the log all the time.
So old man Tate thought He pulled his
slouch hat over his eyes and "kinder stud
led the situation" Then his face kindled
and the same look came over him as
when he rode with Forrest or charged with
Bragg.
So old man Tate wrote q letter to all his
old Confederate friends. He announced
that down on the river there would be a
reunion of survivors. The mountain men
have very few chances to eat barbecue and
mix memories of the four years fight. But
they knew that old man Tate would give
them something worth thinking over. So
about one hundred men went down to his
house. When he had called them about
him he said:
"Boys you all fought faithfully during
the war. The thing didn't turn out our
| way, and the government which would
| have paid up pensions has gone down. The
men who would have stood by the soldiers
| of the army of Virginia and the army of
Tennessee are dead. It's all right now but
it goes against the grain when I see the
other fellows travelling up to Knoxville
every month and coming away with full
pockets. want to say to you that I have
put inside from my own means $40, 600 fol-
you all, and intend, this one time, anyhow,
to see my old comrades happy"
Well, this is about all 1 could hear of
the story. The money was divided out for
Veteran Tate could sign his check for
5000, 900. 1 saw some of the men who got
the pensions" and they looked as if they
needed it. Mr.. Tate might have built q
| monument or founded a soldiers home, OF
| left provision in his will to be htigated,
| but he chose the wiser way. He just went
| down into his pocket, and one time he
| ianked the pension Office in Knoxville.

the basin and have q general good time.
Then slaves bring lunch, and they all sit
around clad In soapsuds and eat lunch,
after which they plunge into the basin
again, and then weary of sport they come
out to have their toilet made for going

On such occasions all the young girls
who are to be at the bath are dressed in
the most exquisite manner as to bathing
robe care to display before and after her
bath.
If the young mans mother likes the girl
she asks permission of the girls mother to
visit her the next day. If she does not she
simply bids her adieu politely and that
ends it. It is very mortifying to fail to be
approved of and greatly lessons a young
girls chances.
If, however, the visit is to be made, there
will be formal demand for the young
lady's hand, which is referred by her moth

Irish-AmericanS.

SPRINGFIELD, H., Oct. 23.-The first
state convention of the Irish American
Republican league of Illinois opened at
10 o'clock this morning in the state house,
with Edmund O'Connell, of Bloomington,
presiding. The attendance was very
large, the ground floor of the hall as well
as the gallery being filled to overfowing.
Among those upon the platform were
Hon. Jno. F. Finerty, of Chicago; M. G.
Quinn, of Peoria Judge M. P. Brady, of
Chicago, and many other well known
Irish h-Americans. The league was organ
lied last June and has for its object the
promotion of Republican principles among
the Irish race in this state. In his open
ing address, President O'Connell said
that the gathering was memorable one
in the history of Illinois politics. They
had shown by their presence that there
were great numbers of Irish Americans
who are battling in the ranks of the great
party for the vital principles
of protection and reciprocity as we'll as
for the great advocates of those principles.
The mention of Mr.. Blaine's name was
greeted with loud and prolonged applause,
the visitors vieing with the delegates in
enthusiastic shouts and waving of hats.

the Young Ireland society of Dublin,
which contends for the policy, identical
with that of the organization of which
STEPHENS was the head, which would
M open war for the absolute indepsn-
Q lce OF Ireland. 1t is conjectured that
4Ir. Stephens may have an understanding
with John O'Leary, leader OF the Dublin
organization.
James Stephens was originally clerk in
the Office of the railway contractor in the
county Tipperary. He was wounded in
the rebellion of 1848, but made his escape
to Paris, where he earned living by
translating English books into French.
In 1855 he returned to Ireland, and the
next year, in association with Thomas
Clarke Luby, founded Fenianism. He
started the Fenian organization in Ameri-
ca two years after. In the height of it's
strength Fenianism is believed to have
had as many as so 900 members in Ireland
and possibly three times as many on this
side of the Atlantic. Feniansm virtually
broke down in 1865 and Stephens was
arrested. He escaped from prison few
weeks after. Stephens, who had made
his home on the continent OF Europe
since the failure of the conspiracy led by
him, has visited America three times
since 1865, the last time in 1879.
