A Mine Under the Sea.

There are in England several coal and
metalliferous mines which extend and
are worked at a considerable distance
out to sea. But perhaps the most re-
markable submarine coal mine is that at
Nanaimo, on Departure bay, beyond
Victoria, B. G. This mine is known as
the Wellington, and its galleries are
situated 900 feet below the surface of
the ocean, which here incloses an archi-
pelago of islands very similar to the
Thousand islands at the head of the ST.
Lawrence river. The galleries of this
pit, which are continually developing,
extend at present length of six miles
under the bottom of the waters of the
Pacific ocean.
Nearly the whole population of the
town of Nanaimo, amounting to nearly
1000, is engaged in the mines of the
place, the average daily wages per head
being from twelve to twenty-three shil-
lings. Liberal as this payment appears
to be the cost of living in that inhos.
pitable region is so high that the miners
can after all only just make both ends
meet.-Iron.

Natural Sand Blasts.

The idea of cutting designs on glass
by forcing sand against the surface of
plates and vessels of that material was
first suggested by one of natures freaks,
just as hundreds of other inventions
have been. An observing young man
who was summering on the coast of
New England noticed that the wind
storms in that sectionsf frequently gath
cred up large loads of sand and hurled
it with much force against exposed win
dow panes, and that these within very
short time were worn through and had
to be replaced. In places where they
were protected by leaves, vines, mos
quito netting, ETC., the glistening sur
face was left intact. He set about utiliz-
ing old natures hint at once, the result
being machine which does work that
cannot even be initiated in any other
way.-St. Louis Republic.

Negroes in Washington.

r <
1t will not be many years before the
negro shanties in the heart of the city
will disappear. They are already giving
way to the march of wealth and splen-
dor. In the northwestern part of the
town small lanes dart suddenly away
from broad avenues, and out of the rear
windows of fine houses there are.visions
of small wooden dwellings,, some of
them novels and some of them,neat with
paint and whitewash. Out of the lanes
come trim girls with baskets containing
some ones washing, or tumultuous small
children, or the man who has made him
self famous by crying through the
streets, "rm talkin bout debiled crabs"
A few modest homes of the thriftier
negroes linger in the fashionable thor
oroughfares of Massachusetts avenue and
Sixteenth street. Since fashion made
its entrance into this quarter of the city
the black men who were fortunate
enough to purchase property there have
held on to it with the tenacity of faith
that fate has determined that they'shall
be as rich as the richest. So they will
not sell until they are compelled by the
stress of circumstance, which means, in
this instance, the increase of taxes.
Even then there are difficulties in the
way, for the negroes are a happy-go-
lucky people who have little knowledge
of the forms of law, 80 that their prop
erty descends and passes from hand to
hand without much regard to the laws
governing the transfer Of land.
Consequently titles are not always
good, and the prudent white man who
is desirous Of building what the news
papers call a '+palatial residence" does
not like to invest his money In piece of
ground which, peradventure, may event
ually turn out to belong to some one
else than his grantor. or.-W Washington Cor.

woMEN,s HAIR IN A LARrAr.

A Fifty-foot Rope Made of the Tresses
of Many Victims of Indians.
Living in the Wenatchee, a narrow
valley putting into the upper Columbia
river at point called the Mission,
because French priests years ago To-
Gated there and taught the Indians, is
an old Indian chief, La Pier by name,
who has in his possession remarkable
souvenir. It is nothing less than a lasso
of human hair fifty feet long and of
variegated colors. The lasso is very
old, just how old is not known, for old
La Pier, who covers in his cabin on the
banks of the Wenatchee, is not talka-
time to strange callers. Only his priests
of the mission who have known him
long can get anything from him regard
ing the relic.
The lasso, however, speaks for itself
If one gets his eyes on it. 1t is undoubt-
edly composed of human hair, and wom-
ans hair at that. There you see the
dark tresses of women who once were
doubtless famous, locally at least, as
brunette beauties. Farther along in the
rope may be noted hair of brown and of
auburn, and in half dozen places of
yellow. Hair jet black, straw colored
and even red is shown, but the saddest
OF all to contemplate are the long tresses
of gray and white which are twisted
yards long in places In the lariat.
AS had been intimated, old chief La
Pier will not talk much about the lasso,
but to the priests he has confided its
grewsome history. The hair was ftaken
by the savages from the heads Of swives
and daughters of pioneers. Manysyears
has 1t been in the possession of the old
chief. He will not sell 1t, no matterhow
much he is offered, and it is rare that
he will show it to any one except par
ticular priest who has won his tconfi-
dence.
To all others he is exceedingly reti-
cent. He will scarcely talk of the, rope
at all. The lariat has been used rlany
time on the trail. Old La Piers saw
age ancestors used to lasso buffalo in
Blackfoot Valley, and when he gotxit he
increased its length by the hair of sew
eral scalps he had. 1t is believedV that
probably thirty women have been
scalped to furnish material for thissfear-
full relic the taciturn chief has tn his
cabin.
1t has come to be regarded ass very.
valuable. The willy old Indian and his
followers think there is, some occult
power attached to it, and it is rare that
it is brought to the light. San Fran

His Memory Was Weak.

An elderly widower was so dull and
stupid that it was very difficult to marry
him. When told to give his right hand,
he gave his left; when the minister said
"Say this after me-" he Immediately re-
marked "Say this after me-" But when
the words he was to repeat were given.
he was stolidly silent
cat last" says the narrator, she saw
that was somewhat bothered by his
extreme stupidity, SO in the middle of
the service he upset my gravity by volun-
teering the following apology, You see,
sir, it's SO long since ! was married afore
that you must excuse my forgetting of
these things. '"-Cornhill Magazine.

The Chicago Blaine Club Snys He Must
Defer To Needs OF the Party. 49,"
CHICAGO, April 23.The Blaine club
today commenced the circulation, in u
printed form, of /; set Of resolutions
which were unanimously adopted by the
club, recitiny that, while Blaine has de-
clared that he is not a candidate for the
presidency, nevertheless the people have
rights paramount to the individual, and
that the office should seek the man.
Therefore it becomes the duty of the in
dividual to ignore personal desires and
bow to the will of the majority. Blaine
is eNtolled as s'the greatest American "
and it is asserted that there 'eXists a
widespread and universal desire that the
standard bearer shall be the hero of reci-
procity" In conclusion, the Chicago
Blaine club urges upon similar clubs
throughout the country, and upon citi-
zens who sympathize with the move
ment, vigorous combined effort which
will result in the nomination Of Blaine
trusting to his loyalty to the party which
has honored him in the past, to his regard
for the wishes of his faithful friends, and
to his sense Of duty to the country to
accept the nomination.

WAsHiNGToN, April 26.-The president
has sent message to the senate stating
in his opinion that it would not be COM

it at this time the correspondence which
he was requested by its resolution Of
April 90 to furnish, concerning any step
taken toward securing an International
conference to consider the question Of
the free coinage or enlarged use of silver.
He says he will do so at the earliest mo-
ment after definite information can be
properly given, and adds:
"It may not be inappropriate, however,
to say here that, believing full use Of
silver as q coin metal upon an agreed
ratio by the great commercial nations Of
the world would very highly promote the
prosperity of all their people, have not
and will not let any favorable opportunity
pass for the promotion of that most de-

silver coinage is not attainable, then TO
secure the largest practicable use of that
metal" .~.
