FIFTEEN CENTS A WEEK.
A CHANCE FOR BOOMERS.
Go to Nicaragua and Get Good Farm
for Nothing,

WASHINGTON, June 15.--The bureau
of American republics is officially in
formed that the government of Mica
ragua has reaffirmed decree of March
10, 1865, donating to every family of inn
migrants from the United States and
other countries settling in Nicaragua
with the object of becoming naturalized
citizens, maximum of 1870 acres of un-
occupied land, according to the number
of persons of the family, and to each
able-bodied single man sixty acres.
Immigrants thus settling will be en-
titled to the rights of naturalized citi-
zens, and will be exempt from army serv-
ice except for the defense of the integ-
rity of the republic. At the end of ten
years of cultivation of the land, com
mencing from the date of the cession,
and on the completion of naturalization,
an absolute title will be given. Persons
desiring to avail themselves of this con-
cession must bring papers from the min
listers or consuls Of Nicaragua in the
countries from which they come.

SULLIVAN MAY FIGHT.
An Intimation That He VIII Meet Corbett
or KiIrain,

Boston, June 15.-In letter to an in
innate friend in this city John L. Sulli-
van intimates that he is not quite
through with pugilistic matters. He
says he has been waiting to see what the
result will be between Corbett and Jack
son and Slavin and Kilrain before an
nonncing his stand. He feels Kilrain
will come out victor in his contest with
Slavin He thinks whoever wins will
feel anxious to meet Corbett.
The winner of such match would be
the champion of America without doubt.
If such match takes place in the near
future, Sullivan says that he will
meet the winner. He further says that
if fight was to be arranged for him on
his return against the winning heavy
weight he would feel that he ought to
dictate the terms. He has decided that
with bare knuckles and London prize
ring rules he will never have anything
more to do.

The Handkerchief in France.

Lace was used to ornament handker-
chiefs in France as early as 1884. In
1913 they were embroidered and had tas-
sells at each of the four corners. In the
time of the Directory, that period of
fashionable eccentricity, they underwent
many vagaries. Those ladies who did
not care to wear the pocket attached to
the girdle and wished to have the hands
at liberty tucked the fan into the belt,
slid the purse into the corsage and had
the handkerchief carried by gallant,
to whom it was necessary to apply when
it happened to be needed. If the hand
kerchief carrier could not be found, or
was insidiously flirting with another wo-
man, and the nose impelatively demand
ed blowing, the case was serious.
When the French blow the nose, it
should be remembered, it is for all it is
worth. No one who has not witnessed
the performance could ever believe the
nasal passages possessed of such sonor
GUS quality, and when the effort is sew
eral times repeated one might easily i'm
agine himself listening to the Angel
Gabriel rehearsing for the last Judgment.
The French fashion in this respect is not
to be recklessly initiated like Paris styles
in laces, silks and satins, fans, dresses.
bonnets and other things pertaining to
female attire. San Francisco Chronicle.

Victims by Thousands.

Records of great earthquakes fill a
large space in the worlds history, and
instances where people have perished by
thousands from this cause are mourn
fully numerous. An earthquake accom-
panied by a volcanic eruption destroyed
the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum
and buried most of their inhabitants in
the ruins in the year 70, A. D. The en-
tire world was shaken from pinnacle to
foundation stone in the year 543. In 557
Constantinople suffered terribly from an
earthquake, which killed thousands of
its inhabitants. In T42 an awful shock
visited China, India, Persia and Palestine,
killing hundreds of thousands of human
beings, besides beasts beyond calculation.
In 1853, 10000 person perished from an
earthquake shock in Syria alone; in 1868.
10000 were killed or buried alive in
Cilicia. In 1856, 10000 were killed in
Naples. In 1851 Lisbon, Portugal, had
her first great shock-that which killed
10000 people. In 1926 Naples was again
visited and had 10000 of her people taken
away by the earthquake demon. The
next year the Schamaki was constantly
rocked by earthquakes for three months,
during which time $4,000 persons were
killed.-St. Louis Republic.

A Cornish Custom.

OF the more modern and wholly quaint
and innocent customs of Cornwall a few
pleasant illustrations may be cited. The
fish wives of ancient st. Ives are an in
corrigible lot. Should you visit the town
at the height of pilchard fishing, and en-
ter the dark cellars where hundreds Of
women and girls are engaged in 'sbulk-
ing" or sailing, the fish, scores of grin
ming Amazons will rush at you, and the
f1eetest one will daub your shoes gener-
ously with the odorous fish oil which
has drained from the piles of curing fish.
This is called ''wiping the shoe," and if
you do not respond with tribute of at
least half crown for luck of the ssfair
maids that feed and clothe the poor
that is, the pilchard fishes-your subse-
quent ''hustling" by these savory
wenches will certainly cost you new
suit of clothing. The same custom, save
that the daubing is done with miners
clay" prevails within the mines, where
the stranger is expected to pay some
thing for his initiation into their mys-
e-ies.-Edgar L. Wakeman in New
York Sun.
Los Angeles herald., 1891-03-29

best of these are fossil meal and the cat
cined magnesia and magnesium carbon
ate of the druggists. Fossil meal con-
sists Of the silicious skeletons of micro
scopic vegetables, called diatoms, ex-
ceedingly various in shape and size, the
very largest OF them hardly reaching the
length of the hundrcdth of an inch. 1t
is found abundantly in some peat mead
ows and in the bottoms of ponds. Both
fossil meal and magnesium carbonate
have been largely used in covering steam
pipes.
Obviously, when the same light sub
stance is tried in both the first and sec
ond apparatus above mentioned, and the
results differ, it must be owing to the in
ability Of the substance to hold the in
cluded air still in the first arrangement.
So powdered plumbago or black lead,
which is very slippery, shows nearly
twice as much transmissive power in one
case as in the other. Loosened asbestos
fiber also let's through about twice as
much heat in the vertical arrangement
as in the horizontal. Yet this fiber may
be split up exceedingly fine, but the great
difference in its behavior as compared
with cotton or wool must be owing much
less to its own greater specific conduct
ing power than to the smoothness and
inelasticity of its fibers.-Professor John
M. Ordway in Popular Science Monthly.

Queer Face ornamentation.

At any time from 16 to 90 years of age
the male Esquimaux have their lower
lips pierced under each corner of the
mouth for labrets. When the incision
is first made sharp pointed pieces of
ivory are put in.
After the wound heals the hole is grad
ually stretched to half an inch in diane
ter. Some Of the poorer natives wear
labrets made from camel coal, ivory,
common gravel and glass shoppers OBJ
tained from ships, which they shape for
the purpose. All who can obtain them
have agate Ones Washington Letter.

Weight of French Money.

A Frenchman. who evidently revels in
handling large sums of money, has com
piled some entertaining statistics with
regard to the weight of milliard of the
French coin of the realm. According to
him a milliard in silver weighs 10000, 900
pounds; in gold, GAS, 100 pounds; in 1 200
franc checks, 1850 pounds, and in 100
franc checks, $4,000 pounds. Assuming
that a carrier could carry two hundred
weight, 1S men would be required to
carry IA milliard in 1000 franc checks,
115 men for the same sum in 100 franc
checks, 1926 men in gold and $4,000 in
silver. A milliard in 1000 franc checks
would make 1000 volumes of 500 pages
each.-Boston Herald.

The Barber Was Ready.

An old veteran told this as happening
at Savannah during the war:
A young officer, who was pretty much
of bully, stopped in at tonsorial sa-
loon. Drawing his sword he ordered
the barber to shave him, at the same
time warning him that if he cut his face
or drew a drop of blood he would kill
him when he got up. The operation was
performed without accident. Before he
went out, however, the bully asked the
artist if he was not very much fright
ened while he was doing the work.
The barber smiled
"Not in the slightest" he replied;
''for if had accidentally drawn drop
of blood I would have cut your throat
from ear to ear before you could have
moved. Atlanta Constitution.
