Where Sardines Come From.
Cor. New Orleans Picayune.


One OF the most important sardine
ccnters OF France is Concarneau, a
place OF 5000 souls, and a favorite
resort for American painters who
have very little talent and an enor-
NOUS quantity Of seli-conceit Situat-
ed ut the head of the bay at Torct, on
n picturesque point, and in II country
where fish and food are very cheap,
the town is regarded 10y artists as a
sort of earthly paradise. The gulf
stream gives it n temperature so soft
that snow is rarely seen, camellias
and fucshias bloom in the open air in
midwinter, mimosa flowers in Febru-
AIRY, and the climate, though much
more humid. is rs mild as that of
Cannes, and yet the place is in the
same lititude as Bluenill, Me, or
Bangor.
Islands shelter the bay and make
its clear and tranquil waters, in whose
depths may he seen the most magnifi-
cent specimens of marine vegetation,
n favorite resting place for sardines
not yet in oil, and every year Concar-
ncau puts up as many as 100000
to 2O,OO0,OO0 boxes of them. These
cost, purchased of the fishermen, ], ,OOO,-
600 francs, the preparing them Coo, 900
francs and the oil and tin boxes 100000
francs morc-in all not n bad years
work for town in Brittany.

Sunday Closing Of the Worlds Fair.

The Independent prints replies from
nearly hundred bishops to the ques-
ton whether, in their opinion, the ex-
hibition at Chicago should be opened
on Sundays: "Of the six Roman
Catholic archbishops three decidedly
urge that the exposition be closed
wholly on Sunday, while three others
would open it in the afternoon, while
out of Ii bishops four would close, II
would open, and one declines to ex-
press an opinion. Of the bishops OF
the Protestant Episcopal church %
would close altogether, two would open
it on Sunday afternoon, and one leaves
his views doubtful. The IL bishops OF
the Methodist Episcopal church are
unit in favor of closing, and so are the
four bishops of the United Brethren Of
Christ, the three bishops of the Evan
gelical Association, the five bishops of
the African Methodist Episcopal Zion
church, the 10 bishops of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church, South, the
three Moravian bishops, and the two
bishops of the Colored Methodist Epis-
copal church. Of the six bishops OF
the African Methodist Episcopal
church, five have no question that the
Exposition should be closed all day,
while one would have it open part of
the day.
at will be seen that with the ex.
ception OF the Roman Catholic church,
whose members are largely of foreign
origin, and more than any other por-
ton of our country influenced by
European customs, the overwhelming
and almost unanimous decision is in
favor of closing which we may regard
as the national verdict. 1t is, how
ever, remarkable, that while the Ro-
man Catholic bishops stand eleven to
four in favor of opening the Exposi-
tion on Sunday afternoon, the. arch
bishops, who really better represent
the American sentiment in their
church, are equally divided"

Words Of Wisdom.

Arsene Houssaye in La Lecture.
The best books are those that are not

amorous, nor young.
Dante tried in vain to be terrible; he

The Capitol Dome, Washington.

The Capitol dome at Washington is
the only big dome of iron in the world.
1t is a vast hollow sphere weighing s.
OO0,000 pounds. How much is that :?
More than 1000 tors, or almost the
weight of 10000 fullgrown persons,
about equal to 1000 ladened coal cars
of'four tons each, which, if strung out
one behind the other would occupy a
mile and a half of track. On the very
top of the dome the allegorical figure
America" weighing 1885 pounds,
lifts its proud head high in the air.
The pressure of this dome and figure
upon the piers and pillars is 14,477
pounds to the square foot. 1t would,
however, require pressure OF 755, 1856
pounds to the square foot to crush the
supports OF the dome. The cost of this
immense dome was little short Of ST.

Where Cheapness Comes In.

1t seems strange to many persons
that the organs of protection have made
so much parade over the cheapening of
sugar by lowering duties.
They haze often told us that the
tariff was not Il tax; now they admit
that it was, in the use of sugar.
They have told us, also, that the
foreigner paid the tax in order to get
into our market; now they say that the
consumer OF sugar has been paying the
tax, and that the Republican party has
disenthralled him. But they make no
mention of the Sl5,00O,OG0 that con-
sumers must pay to the sugar trust
every year, and the ten or more mill
ions to be paid to the producers OF raw
sugars.
Moreover, they have been telling us
that "cheap and nasty are akin" that
cheapness is m-American, and that a
cheap coat makes cheap man inside
of the coat. By parity of reasoning,
cheap sugar makes cheap man out
side the sugar.
There is, however, one point of view
in which cheapness may be deemed de-
sirable, even by Republicans. We ap-
prehend that they may have reconciled
themselves to it by some such course
of reasoning as this:
Cheap sugar makes cheap men out
side the sugar.
Cheap men make cheap blocks of
five.
Cheap blocks of five enable the con-
tributors to the campaign fund to elect
a cheap president.
There has been some fear that the
class interests that got all they desired
from the Mckinley bill, and who have
been assured that it can not possibly
be repealed for ten years, might be Ian
guild about contributing at the next
election. Such a possibility suggests
the need OF economy, and may account
for the conversion of some of the or
gans to the merits of cheap sugar.
There is great danger, however, that
when the people once grow fond Of
cheap sugar they will refuse to shud-
der at the sight of cheap coat, or to
believe that cheap coat implies a
cheap man inside the coat.

Credits not Taxable.

In reply to note of inquiry from
State Auditor Reed, Attorney General
Jones has rendered an opinion holding
that credits and mortgages cannot be
taxed under the new law.
According to the views of the attor-
ney general there are no items specified
in the schedule Of sections and of
the law that include such credits as
mortgages, promissory notes or ac-
counts excepting it be item 35, which
reads the value OF all other articles
of personal property not included in
the preceding items"
Section ., article Z, of the State
constitution, declares that "the iegis-
lature shall provide by law a uniform
and equal rate of assessment and taxa
ton on all property in the State, ac-
cording to its value in money, and
shall prescribe such regulations by
general law as shall secure a just valu-
alton for taxation of all property, so
that every person and corporation
shall pay tax in proportion to the
value of his, her or its property: Pro-
vided, That deduction of debts from
credits may be authorized: Provided,
further, That the property of the
United States, and OF the State, coun-
ties, school districts and other munici.
pal corporations, and such other prop
erty as the legislature may, by general
laws provide, shall be exempt from
taxation"
But the Attorney General holds
while it may be urged that the deduc-
ton of debts from credits might be
authorized, indicating that the trainers
OF the constitution understood that
property" meant credits for the pur-
poses of taxation, that it must be con-
structed with the provision that the
legislature must provide "uniform
and equal rate of assessment" A
fair construction of the provision
only directs the legislature to pro-
vide for the taxation OF credits so
far as that can be done without vio-
lence to the provision that taxes
shall be uniform and equal-for that
section further on expressly authorizes
the legislature to exempt property
from taxation by general laws. The
prOvisO further indicates that the
trainers OF the constitution felt that
the taxation of credits without deduc-
ton for debts would be unjust and un-
equal.
The Attorney General argues that
while a solvent credit, as mortgage
or promissory note, is in law regarded
as property for many purposes, it can
not under the law of March, 1891, be
regarded as personal property for the
purpose of taxation" for it is not
specifically named in the law, although
the law does mention expressly
"bonds, stocks,"" moneys" "fran-
chises," and royalties"
The opinion is fortified by citations
in point from decisions of the United
States and other courts, and with il
lustrations of the vicious results OF
the various attempts at double taxa
ton.

Agricultural Notes.

The Indiana Farmer we'll says that
punctuality in milking cows is of pri-
mary importance and for the best re-
suits is quite as essential as regularity
in feeding.
There is more clear profit to be
made from small flock of sheep-say
forty to eighty head-than from any
other stock of equal cost. But it re-
quires good sense to get the profit.
A prominent fruit-grower of western
New York, from single patch OF six
teen acres, sent to market in one year
1900 bushels of strawberries. The en-
tire crop was sold at an average price
OF l2t cents per quart, realizing the
snug sum of 5000. This may be
taken as an instance of the profitable
ness OF thoroughly scientific fruit grow
ing.
The February report of the agricul-
tural bureau shows that the average
value of mich COWS is largest in New
York State, or 1874 each. This average
is probably due to two causes. First,
the early establishment of cheese fac
tories in that State, and second, by the
improvement in stock through the in
PRODUCTION of many fine herds by en-
terprising breeders.
All pruning done before the buds
start into growth stimulates those that
remain, so that they grow all the more
vigorously. Pruning trees when in
leaf is, on the contrary, a check to the
whole plant, and does not stimulate
what is left. 1t is quite apt, however,
with very vigorous trees, to cause fruit
buds to start, and may thus be some
times advisable to bring young Or
chards more quickly into bearing.
Good Strawberries can be raised by
the bushel, says Orange Judd, cheaper
than wheat. The space necessary to
supply a family need not be large.
We have averaged one quart to two
and sixteen one-hundredths square
feet, or at the rate OF $50 bushels per
acre. The Ohio Farmer says that if
strawberries are we'll set in the fall
they will fruit the next season, as it is
the fall growth oi root which supports
the plant for the next years fruiting
]. J. Thomas recommends in planting
to make little mound under the roots,
and spread the roots evenly upon it,
and then carefully cover them. Thus
treated they grow twice as we'll as
when planted as they usually are. A
writer says: The secret of success in
raising the strawberry is watering it
freely daily. Mr.. Fuller says: Early

THE Fail Mall Gazette gives great
prominence to the scheme which is
said to have been drafted in order to
transport Hebrews from Poland and
from Southeast Europe to an immense
tract of uninhabited land in Australia
or Brazil. Baron Hirsch is credited
with having originated this idea, and
is said to have had a long conference
in Paris with the prominent labor
leaders. The baron, according to re-
port, has decided to give 81 SOC, 900 by
himself with which to start the pro-
ject. The full details as to his plans
for wholesale Hebrew immigration are
not given, but it is understood that he
will be supported in this undertaking
by other opulent Hebrews.
