AND THEY ARE AL JUST ABOUT RIGHT, TOO

The dealers in fireworks have large stocks
on hand to meet the heavy demand, which
will begin probably tomorrow. A consid-
cradle amount of fireworks was sold last
week, but the rush IL not expected to start
until tomorrow, and it will no doubt be
kept up until Christmas day. The night
before Christmas is always field one FOR
dealers in fireworks.

California Pearls.

One of the largest pearl fishing grounds in the world is the gulf of Cali fornia. The pearls are not generally regular in shape or very pure in color, but some are of large size, and many of the rare black pearls are found. The divers are Indians, and their equipment is of the simplest kind, consisting only of a basket hung round the neck, in which to collect the oysters, knife, to detach them from the rocks, and a stone with a cord attached. When a diver goes down he takes the cord be- tween his toes, the weight of the stone carrying him at once to the bottom. He gathers oysters as long as his breath holds out, and then rises to the surface, to descend again in fifteen minutes. Some of the divers are wonderfully eX- pert, and can remain under water as much as two minutes before rising to the surface. The mortality among them is fearful, for the gulf of Califor- uia is infested with huge sharks.

FORESTS OF SIBERIA.

Somct!lin. About the Region to Which
 Many of the Exiles Are Sent.
 There is a story of French girl who asked her American lover if the forests of the United States had been any where cleared sufficiently to play lawn tennis, but the geographical miscon- captions of that young lady are rivaled by the current ideas concerning the desolation of Asiatic Russia, says an exchange. North Siberia is too cold to produce perennial plants, but farther south enormous areas are still covered with pine forests, mingled with oaks and beeches near the fifty-ffth paral- Tel, and abounding with berries. The aggregate of woodlands east of the Ural range has been estimated at five hundred and sixty thousand square miles, just about twice the area of the state of Texas, and the Russian govern ment is not insanely inhuman enough to banish many of it's exiles to the re- zion north of that timber belt. Only fifteen of hundred prisoners are sent to the mines; the rest are colonized in the forest districts, and, to compensate for the poor quality of their food, en- joy at least an abundant and, indeed, often practically unlimited supply of fy.ae f1Ia1

A Yankee on westerners.

The people of the west are darker than those of the east. It is easy to see that. They live more in the open air. They are Drowned by the sun and roughened by the winds of the prairies. This is as true of the women as of the men. West of the Mississippi you see very few fat men. Even middleweight men are rare. The rule is, tall, dark, dark-haired, brown or black beard, thin. What is it that makes so many men of the prairie west shoot up more than six feet in the air and yet keep their weight down to one hundred and sixty and one hundred and sixty y-five e pounds I could not discern. But any one who travels much in that region must have noticed the remarkable stature of the men as a whole. Of course the average of humanity in the west is more uncouth than in the east In the hotels and in dining cars you see more men, and more women, too, eating with their knives or with nap kins tucked under their chins. West of Chicago you will hear three times as many persons sucking soup out of their spoons as east of that point. But in kindness, true, sincere politeness, ab- sence of affectation and piggishness, the westerners beat us every time. If you go out from the east and think to take them up for hayseeds or pump kins you will make a sad mistake.- Augusta (Me.) Chronicle.

A CUP OF CRGSUS.
The Wonderful Gold Mine in Queens
 land and It's Fabulous Wealth.

The Wonderful Gold Mine in Queens land and It's Fabulous Wealth.
 One of the wonders of Australia, and one of the greatest natural curiosities in the world, is the Mount Morgan gold mine in Queensland. The precious metal contained in this mine, which has paid divid end of not less than six million dollars in year, was deposited by a hot spring.
 Mount Morgan is hill about five hundred feet high, containing at it's top a cup-shaped deposit made by the hot spring which once gushed out there, and in this deposit the gold exists. Truly a cup of Croesus! Through untold ages the waters dropped their glitter ing burden, and now man comes and ex- tracts the hoardcd metal to add to the wealth of the world.
 Specimens of the ore from this strange mine have recently been sent to the United States, that they might be compared with the deposits of the great hot springs in our own Yellow stone park. It was but natural to sup pose that the Yellowstone springs had also a golden treasure in their cups, but the most careful search by geolo- gists has thus far failed to detect any trace of if

A CabbY,s Telecrnnh.

The London cabman has language of his own, which is not generally knwon. l discovered it some time ago.
 Being in q hanson cab, which was bowling along behind another hanson cab, l observed the driver in front com municating with my driver, writes Wal ter Besant. He spread out both arms like a semaphore and then closed and opened his fingers. It was evidently a
 message, remark or warning in a lan- guage of signs and symbols. When I got down I asked my driver what that communication might be. "Why," he replied, ''what he said was this: How'd you like to drive all the way from Char ing Cross up this bloomin' hill for two bob?" told him I considered it a very useful and valuable telegraph. Circum- stances have prevented any further study of this telegraph system, which I leave to the observation of my readers.

 Mrs. Bowser protested, but he threaded darning-necdle with piece of red string and used up about eight feet of it in alarming the hole. He ap- peared to be growing good-natured, |, and she ventured to ask:
 Aren't we to go to the theater to- night?"
 ''If we get through in time we may"
 "Get through with what?" Mrs Bowser," he said, as he re- moved his coat and turned his back, Hook at the back of my vest!"
 ''I see it; but what's wrong?"
 Wrong! wrong! Is there buckle there? Put on your glasses and tell me if you can fl nd a buckle anywhere on the back of my vest"
 ''No, don't see one, but this is the fl rst time you have called my attention to it."
 Exactly. What was the use? That buckle busted off three years ago last Thanksgiving day, and yet you haven't noticed it! Is there a spare buckle kicking around the cellar or hanging up in the garret? If not suppose can heat the stove poker and bend it up to answer"

THE only thing Mir Wheeler of Iowa accomplished by getting nominated for governor was to attract the attention of the entire country to mortgage on his farm, to little deal of his Tn options, to the telephone connection between his house and his foreman's room in the barn and to the fact that he cannt t make a speech to save his life. And for this he has striven and struggled through weary years of yearning for fame and political glory Truly the wise man is he who sticks to the con- tented obscurity in which it is possible to avoid nearly every evil except death and tariff taxes

4 HA TOT d week or two as SOOu as pie, and then all of a sudden and with no valid excuse they will break out in the most surprising man. ner. When MT. Bowser left the house after lunch the other day he was in great good humor, and stopped to say:
 "I think I'll stop and get tickets for the theater tonight and we'll put in an enjoyable evening""
 When he returned at six he ascended the steps with scuff! scuff scuff! un- locked the front door, gave it a kick, and made his way into the back parlor to growl:
 Mrs. Bowser, do you pretend to run this house on a system?"
 "Why, what is wrong, dear?" she lueried in reply.
 "There's lots of things wrong! I had scarcely left the office when this overcoat button c anne off. l laid this coat off the fifth of last May, and you've had five months to secure tn at button. " But I didn't know it was loose. Why didn't you tell me?" "Why haven't I told you ten thou sand other things that ought to be done! There are wives who glance at their husbands clothing once or twice | a year ana QlScOVer WnaG repairs are needed. l want alarming needle and q piece of string"
 But I'll sew the button on."
 No; I'll do it myself. I don't want to take up your valuable time."
 And despite Mrs. Bowser's entreaties and protestations he threaded the needle with piece of string and sat down and sewed on the button. He | got it an inch out of line with the but tonhole, of course, and of course it wouldn't have staid five minutes in any event, but he had carried his point. When he had laid the coat aside he asked:
 Have we got a brad awl and piece of waxed-erd in the h ouse?'
 "I don't think so. What do you want of them?"
 ITO mend my suspender, of course. I hadn't got hundred feet from the house this noon when it busted on me as usual If there's another house Tn the United States run like this one I'd like to hear of it and go and sit down
