The French Colony of Algeria.

While number of the leading European
governments have recently adopted the so
called colonial policy as a means both of
increasing their national trade and of pro-
viding an outlet for their people, expert
ences which have recently been brought to
light in France would indicate that a
colonial policy may be an exceedingly ex-
pensive luxury for a nation to adopt.
In a recent debate in the chamber of
deputies on the government of the colony
of Algiera the calculation was made from
official reports that in the last forty years
that colony had cost France, over and
above the income received therefrom, quite
$500, OO0, 900, and what is more, the annual
costs at the present time are even larger
than in previous years.
1t might be said that these large outgoes
were no more than France was justified in
sending for the purpose of providing de-
sirable outlet for her people; but, although
Algeria is remarkably fertile country and
offers many opportunities, it docs not
seem to attract the French colonists. The
total population of French origin is only.
260, 900, while there are an equal number Of
white people not of French nationality.
These latter have, by the local laws, ex-
emption from taxation granted them that
the French colonist is not accorded, and,
what is more, the rate of taxation upon
the 100000 or more natives is several
times greater than upon the French col
onist or foreign resident.
The French will not settle in Algeria as
colonists, although large numbers visit the
country each year as tourists, which would
seem to prove that unless nation has an
aptitude for colonization-and this was no
doubt what the French possessed six or
eight generations ago when they settled
Canada-it is useless for 1t to spend money
and exhaust an effort in acquiring and at
tempting to develop the waste places on
earth.-Boston Herald.

The trade IN ginseng is revival of one
that formerly existed. In the autumn of
17l6 Pere Joseph Francois Lafitan, Jesuit
father, who had arrived in the country in
1712, and was stationed at the Sault, above
Montreal, discovered the plant. He had
been in Quebec in his, and there saw a
letter of Pere Jartoux, who had seen gin
seng in Tartary in 1909, and who gave a
description of it. Lafitan inquired about
it from the Indians, and examined the
country to find it.
AT this time it was worth its weight in
gold at Pekin. A company was formed to
export it TO China, Japan and Tartary
The price at Quebec was from thirty to
forty sous or cents per pound. At first
any one was allowed to sell it, but as its
value increased the company exercised its
monopoly rights, and in l751 undertook to
exclude all others from the trade As the
demand increased the care with which it
was obtained and prepared was relaxed
1t was gathered out of season and imper-
fectly dried in stove ovens. Even in this
state it brought twenty-five ivres per
pound.
In 1852 ginseng of this character to the
value of 500,0 600 hvreS was exported In
1854 the value of the export had fallen to
$4,000 hvres. A quantity sent to La Ro-
chelle remained unsold, but finally found
its way TO China, where its inferior quality
gave the Canadian article a bad reputa-
ton; the demand fell off and the export
ceased.-J. Jones Bell in Popular Science

A Cheap Method for ooloring Glass.

Some of the German porcelain and glass
manufacturers are now using new color
ing material, capable of being fixed"
without fire. In carrying out this process,
ordinary water colors are used, these be-
ing rubbed down with certain mixture,
consisting of two solutions, compounded
in definite proportions, one of them being
composed of 100 parts of a syrup of potas-
81 I'm water glass, to which has been added
ten parts of lead acetate solution-ffteen
parts lead acetate in 100 parts of water
and stirred by an air stream until well
mixed; the other solution is mixture of
fifty parts of borax dissolved in 100 parts
of warm water and twenty parts of glyc-
erin.
Sixty parts of the first described solution
are mixed with forty parts of the second,
and with this mixture the colors are
rubbed down. For thinning purposes wa
ter and the first named solution are mixed
well together in equal parts. After the
products have been painted tEey are placed
in bath composed as follows: One part of
borax is dissolved in twelve parts of water
and mixed in a gutta percha vessel with
fifty parts Of hydrofuoric and ten parts Of
sulphuric acid. On the immersion of the
articles some ten minutes in this bath
they are washed in clean water, and the
color appears as if burned in.-NeW York

Girls and a Coal Chute.

rive had more FIR last winter than you
could shake stick at. said a pretty little
friend of mine who is puzzling her dear
little brain over all the isms and ologies
that are taught at Sage college, the female
annex to Cornell university.
81 wouldn't tell you about it for the
world if school wasn't out and everybody
gone away. But mind, if you print word
of it will never speak to you again
"You know most of the girls at Sage are
serious, solemn things, who seem to think
that the chief end of life is to beat the boys
and take all the prizes don't prefer
to have the boys take the prizes and then

Pure Olive OH from california.


The convention of olive oil producers,
recently assembled in this city, took a de-
cided stand for pure, homemade oil. This
stand was not taken day too soon. When
few months ago some official tests were
made of the purity of olive oil it was
found that some brands, or rather certain
lots, had already been adulterated. The
temptation is very strong to keep spuri-
Gus article on the market. Cottonseed oil
and some other vegetable oils will always
be cheaper than pure olive oil. The i'm
ported article is continually sold at lower
price than that produced at home
The area suited to olive culture in this
country has never been accurately defined.
In general terms it may be said to include
the country on the western side of the
Sierras, below AZ dogs. of latitude, down to
and including parts of Arizona and New
Mexico. Beyond this territorial area it is
not probable that the olive will make much
of figure. Indeed, there is strong proba-
bility that for at least whole generation
the only state in the Union that will get
much commercial prominence for the pro-
duction of the olive will be California
The growers who have already become
producers here are pioneers. Olive orchards
have been planted almost as freely during
the last two or three years as apple or plum
orchards. The area of olives not now in
bearing is greater than that in fruitage
The planting will go on in coming seasons,
because there is satisfactory evidence that
the business will be paying one. The
convention has now established the very
conditions OF su ccess-concerted action Sc

olive oil produced in Califc-nia-San Fran

How Louis NAPOLEON Died.

A telegram from Rome has announced
the publication of life of Prince Napo-
leon" which is likely to create some sensac
ton in the political world. There is an
earlier work-whieh, though it does not
bear the signature of Prince Napoleon, was
undoubtedly inspired by him-of which a
few stray copies have reached England. 1t
is called lie Prince Imperial" and pur-
ports to be written by D'Herisson. 1t is
aimed against the Empress Eugene, whom
it savagely pursues from her birth to the
downfall of the empire-an event directly
attributed to her influence
There is q long chapter describing the in
trigues that went on around the deathbed
of the emperor. 1t will be remembered
that at the time of his death there was
report that that event was due not to the
effects of the operation which Sir Henry
Thompson performed, but to an overdose
of chloral This singular book, certainly
written with intimate knowledge of the
inner circle of imperial affairs, confirms
this report. Napoleon III, it says, took the
choral, fell asleep and never woke again.

Three thousand dollars for an old tin
roof would be pretty steep price, but the
man who gets the battered roof from the
old Tabernacle church at Broad street and
South Penn square, which is now being
torn away, for that sum will be in great
luck. Some years ago the paint was
scraped off the old roof and yielded SIS, 600

as much this time. The gold comes from
the mint.
When gold is being coined consider

smoke through the chimney, and as soon

from the roof are connected with large watts
In the cellar of the mint. Before the water
finally gets TO the sewer IL is strained

III. po- aud th. Hat.

A funny answer was received by Judge
MeMath to query put to little six-year-
old boy, whom he sought to entertain
while riding in street car the other even
ing. The judge was on his way home
after hot day and wore his "stovepipe"
hat on the back of his head. Beside him
sat a middle aged gentleman with his
little six-year-old boy. The father of the
boy and the judge carried on a converse
ton. during which the boy frequently
peeped around his father, evidently at
tracted by something.
The judge at length tried to divert the
boy from those occasional little stares and
asked. "And how are you. my little boy?"
''Oh, I'm WE'LL" was the modest reply.
"Can you tell me your name" The name
was given. How old are you" The boy
slyly turned his eyes toward the judge aud
remarked, about as old as that hat of
