Marvels in Miniature.

In museum of curiosities at Salem, Mass, there is preserved a common cherry seed or stone, hollowed and fashioned like basket. Within the basket are twelve tiny silver spoons
 the shape and finish of which cannot be distinguished with the naked eye
 Dr. Peter Oliver, who lived in England during the early part of the Eighteenth century, tells of seeing carved cherry stone which would be wonder even in this age of fine tools and fine work manship. The stone was one from a common cherry, and upon it were carved the heads of l2i popes, kings
 queens, emperors, saints. etc. Small as they must necessarily have been, if is announced on the authority of Prof
 Oliver that with good glass the heads of the popes and kings could readily be distinguished from those of tine queens and saints by their lniters and crowns. The gentleman who brought this little wonder to England pur. chased it in Prussia, allowing the orig inal owner e5O00 for his treasure. Think of it, S25000 for a cherry seed

A Wicked old Man,
REPUBLICAN.

LEXINGTON, KY, July 1.-THE we'll
known deacon of the Broadway Chris
tian Church and coal merchant, I.Y.
Smith, has deserted his wife and
family, and has left Lexington with
his paramour, Mrs. Thomas, grass
widow. He is believed to be at Tate
Springs, Tenn.
He sent his wife a letter yesterday
saying he would never return. His sin
found him out several months ago,
and he was asked to resign, which he
did. His father left him fine fortune
which he squandered ON fast women.
He concealed his sins so we'll that he
was regarded one of the leading Christ
ians in the city. He is nearly sixty
years old, and is native of Lexington.

CLARK SPRING ITEMS.

CEDAR CAMP, July 10.
We haven't had a rainy day since we
left Jonesboro. The spring water has
increased our appetites so that we have
picked six gallons of huckleberries and
eaten them everyone.
There has been a great calamity in
our camps, one of our number left us
while we were out picking berries for
him.
Fishing is very fine.
The amateur photographer of Jones'
borO has been having fine sport among
the mountain scenery.
Pretzel Simpson s poor health is in
creasing daily from the strength of the
spring water.
st. Bernard is getting very fat.
Away out here in these mountains
the obnoxious cigarette has followed us.
A young man from the Sanitarium
became very much enamored with the
auburn locks of one of our young Ia
dies and strolled down to the camp to
get an introduction, but just at that
moment the young lady was reclining
far up ON the side of the mountain,
many feet above.
The musical persons of our camp
gather on one of our porches every
evening and hold a concert, both vocal
and instrumental.
Beautiful ferns grow so plentiful that

like walking ferneries, with here and

Chairman Il. II. Carter.

The Chicago Inter Ocean, which
knows Mr.. Carter, the Chairman,
well, says editorially of his selection:
'''The selection of the Hon. Thos. H.
Carter as Chairman of the Republi-
can National Committee is not simply
personal compliment to that gentle
man, but is also complimentary to Mon
tana, which he represents. The COM
mittee has acted wisely in organizing
promptly and placing itself in perfect
accord with the candidates on the Ma
tional ticket. Had the result at Min
neapolis been different undoubtedly Mr..
Clarkson would have been the Chair
man. His executive ability is acknow-
lodged by all, but it is apparent that
both he and the President felt that, ow-
ing to Mr.. Clarkson 8 course at Mime
apolis, it would be embarrassing to both
of them to have him continue Chairman
of the Committee during the present
campaign.
'Mr. Carter is awell equipped man
for the position, and, if circumstances
will permit him to give his time to the
work of the committee, we have no
doubt the result will confirm in all
minds the good opinion his Western
friends have of him. 1t certainly was
wise on the part of the committee and
the President to come West for the
manager of the campaign. The seat of
empire is west of the Allegheny noun
tains, and it is largely here that future
political battles must be fought. The
Democrats, seeing the rapidly increas-
ing political strength of the West, are
preparing to make extraordinary efforts
to secure foothold here. But the peo-
pie of the West are too far removed
from the influences of foreign trade to
be easily caught by free trade theories.
1.-THE Inter Ocean congratulates the
Republicans of Montana on theselection
of their chosen representative to man
age the national campaign. The con-
gratulations are more earnest, because
it is plain case of the position seeking
the man and not the man the position.
Mr.. Carter was not candidate for
the place, and hesitated much whether
he would accept. The responsibilities
of the campaign will be great, as every
thing indicates hotly contested fight
to the finish, but We believe the new
chairman will be equal to the occasion. u

Fish Beds I'm Colorado.

w. G. Hart, of the northern division
of the Colorado Worlds Fair mineral
department, is back in Denver, having
returned from a trip TO the northwestern
part of the State. During his absence
Mr.. Hart made investigations leading
to one of the most remarkable geologi-
cal discoveries ever known in the West.
vast fish beds, covering hundreds of
squire miles in Northwestern Colorado,
are brought to light and the Rocky
Mountain News thinks they cannot
fail to awaken great interest in scien-
tific circles. The beds, so far as traced
by Mr.. Hart, extend distance of 15O
miles in the region of the Green River
country and were traced to points more
than 100 miles toward the interior of
the State. Scientists have known of the
existence of primeval deposits of fish
in Wyoming, but for the first time a
discovery of similar character is re-
ported in this State. The beds are 15O
to 200 feet thick. To the ordinary OBJ
server their origin would remain forever
mystery.
How untold millions of fish could be
piled in distinct layers of over large
area of country which is now 5000 to
10000 feet above sea level is problem
which might stagger the most profound
geologists. After careful investigation
Mr.. Hart has arrived at theory which
at least appears plausible. According
to his theory there was time when
the region of the fish deposits formed
the shore of salt water ocean. As the
tides swept the waters against the rocky
shores marshes were formed on the op-
posite side of the rocky barrier. The
tides suaged against the barrier with
such force as to throw the fish into the
shallow waters. Owing to the heated
temperature of the air the water in the
marshes evaporated before the tide
again returned, leaving the fish in the
mud. The next flow brought new
supply of fish, and after many centur-
ries the beds of today were formed. The
deposit of each return of the tide is dis
tinctly marked in the cliffs and on the
sides of the canyons of the mountain
streams The deposit was raised to its
present elevation by the same hidden
force which formed the mountains.

WONDERFUL RESULTS
Of the First Complete Year of the
Mckinley Tariff.
Foreign Trade of the Nation Nearly Two
Billion Dollars.

WASHINGTON, July 20.-The Bureau
OF Statistics of the Treasury Depart.
ment has just completed its complila.
ton of the foreign trade of the United
States for the fiscal year ending June
30, 1899. The totals will be one of the
most invincible arguments of the cam.
paign. The figures are not merely es-
Inmates, but are official. For the first
time in the history of the country the
total exports for the year reached a
billion dollars, the exact value being
$1,O30, 1886, 626. This is an increase over
the previous year $145, 1854, ,s16.
The exports exceeded the imports by
S9O2, ,944,3 ,342. Truly magnificent and
unequalled balance of trade in our fa-
vor The total foreign trade of the
United States (both imports and ex-
ports) was 81, 1857, ,726,91O.
The value of imports coming in free
of duty was $45S, S,OO1, ,145. The value
of dutiable imports was $369, 800, 139.
The percentage of free imports was
55.SS, an increase of 16.73per cent. over
1891, when the percentage of free i'm
ports was 1915. In 1890 it was "a. 10
and in 1889 it was 34.S1.
But the following statement tells its
own story as TO the Mckinley tariff
even more startlingly. The average
ad valorem duty levied on the total i'm
ports for the year ending June 30, 1892,
was 2O.65; for the year ending June 30,
1891, it was $3.50: for 1890 it was 2S.92,
and for 1889 it was 29.69.
The figures in detail will be ready for
publication within few days, and
they will admit of many interesting
comparisons and furnish texts for
countless Republican speeches.
They will be the subject of remarks
in Congress by Republicans, and Dem
ocratic free trade orators will then have
an opportunity to answer them.
Here are the facts simply stated ::
Every Democratic orator and organ
said a year ago-"The Mckinley law
will stifle foreign trade" The first
complete year of the Mckinley laws
operation has given the Nation the
largest foreign trade ever known.
Every Democratic orator said "The
Mckinley tariff will increase tariff
taxes" 1t has decreased them more
than $5O,OOO,O00 annually.
Every Democratic organ said: ut
is worse than war TARIFF Under its
operations larger percentage of our
whole foreign trade is absolutely freer
than ever before in the history of the
United States.
1t levies a smaller tax on larger
volume of trade than any previous tar
iff law, Republican or Democratic, and
it protects every industry in which
American labor is brought into compe-
tition with Europe.
