Nearly all the varieties OF quartz,

Pescadero shore, except the iridescent,
precious opal Among the innumera-
bio variety ore seen the reddish brown

In addition TO the gems mentioned,
there Is an infinite number OF unclassi-

and shaped exactly like an acorn in the
cup. Most Of the stones are perfect in

The deposit varies with the tide.
Where to-day lies a glinting bank Of
stones, tomorrow shines q clear stretch
Of sand, swept by the waves bare as a

Gray-headed bankers and brokers, staid

The only high school In Iceland is at
Seykjasil, and it has been In operation
for over year. The principal subjects
taught are Icelandic in its gram
mar and literature, Danish, Eng
hsh, Slojd wood carving, arithmetic
and singing, to which from two to
eight hours week are devoted, but
the foremost place in the educational
system is given to tailoring, by which
the hours from ten to two are occu-
pied during four days a week. This is
because there are no tailors in Iceland,
and that the women must make the
mems clothes as we'll as their own.
Cooking is also practically taught.

According to the new worlds fair

ance Is to be devoted to the erection Of
a Dahomeyan village. And . faithful
reproduction in miniature Of Abomey,
the capital Of that strange land, will be
completed and ready for occupancy by
the end Of February. King Behanxin.
the celebrated war chief Of the nation,
has sgnified his intention Of coming
here in person, and will hasten across
the sea as soon as his difficulties with
France are adjusted
The deeds OF this doughty king and
his terrible cannibalistic Amazons are
known throughout the world, and the
awful massacres Of Abomey, where the
king holds forth, have made the entire
world shudder and protest.
And now, having achieved great
things and having become one Of the
best known of savages, King Behanzin
proposes to travel-to sec the world and

the equator, the king and his cannibals
win come over bag and baggage-the
baggage OF Dahomeyan consists Of q
string Of beads and three spears-and
take up hsbitations on the Midway
Plaisance. Here royal court will be
assembled, and here the wild orgies OF
the Ivory coast will be renewed and re-
peated in the presence Of an admirine
multitude.
The king viii bring many rare prod.
ucts, ivory, gold, palm oil, three-tailed
monkeys and other curiosities. But
there Is string tied to the kings
promise to come. He wants to set ul
his fetich temple, same as at home, and
have human sacrifices three times q
week and twice on Sundays.

How enc white Mountain REGION Ii Being
Denunded of Trees.
New Hampshire, says the Manchester
Mirror, has played the FOOLS part in dis
posing of the magnificent stretches Of
forest, which but q few yenrs ago
clothed and beautifled her northern
mountains and valleys, and were the un-
failing reservoirs for her streams. the
haunts of her fish and game and the
sanitariums to which people came from
far and near for rest and recreation and
Incorporation. Some of them she sold
for o song, and others she gave away as
II thoy were Of no value. In one way
and another the title to them had rnssed
into the hands Of others, generally not
residents Of the state, who have become
weath.y In trading upon them and turn
ing them over to the lumberInen to be
destroyed.
Not only the timber IN the valleys
and upon adjacent slopes has been cut
and carried away, leaving nothing but
repulsive barrenness, but now this is
gore the work of destruction has been
pushed far up the gorge and mountain
sides and into tracts whieh were sup
safe. One such tract south of Gorham,
which was nearly worthless five years
ago, has just been sold for 1inetyscven
Thousand dollars and Is fast being
stripped To another tramwey ten
miles long Is being built from Bemis
station in the Crawford notch, and the
township of Success is being invaded
by another starting from Berlin.
Even Dartmouth college, of which
something besides reckless greed might
be expected, has turned over her splen-
did grants upon the Androscoggin to
| the tender mercies of George Van
! Dykes Canadians, and the Concord &
Montreal railroad has spent five hum
dred thousand dollars to make 1t profit

of Randolph and the base of Mount
| Adams.
Worse than this even are the prepare
tions to extend the railroad from North
Woodstock to the Profile and to build
another up the east branch so that some
millionaire can turn the spruce trees
there into money. Within five years at
the present rate the supply Of spruce
will be exhausted, and the hard wood
in townships reached by railroads will
not last more than ten or twelve.
When spruce is removed It Is followed
by wild cherry and poplar, and even
were the cleared lands In the White
mountains not overrun by hres nearly
every year, as they are, the forests
could not be replaced
The case Is bad one. What can be
done about it2 To do anything is very
much like locking the stable after the
horse has been stolen The Boston
Herald's remedy is TO have the state ex-
ercise its right Of eminent domain, and
retake the lands which Il threw away,
paying their owners of course thei1

penditure, and Is, at best, an inede.
