A idOw.

Our house servant is a Japanese, po-
lite as are most Of his race. Among his
duties is taking care of the chickens.
One day he CHANGED to find nest of fine
eggs at the barn, away from the chicken
yard, contributed by hen that had es-
capped from the others, and as a conse-
quence the eggs were not fertile. In ig-
norance of this fact, however, an old
lady of our hOusehold-a widow-imme-
diately put hen to ''set" on them. Bid
dy stuck to business, but to no purpose.
When the required time had more than
elapsed, the lady was very much put
out and puzzled that no chickens had
been Matched. Turning to the Jap, she
said, What do you suppose is the mat
ter of those eggs, George?" George
Blowing low: Excuse me, ma'am, ex-
cuse me, but | t'ink Flows againl,
t'ink that hen was a widow" Widow
satisfied. Review.

In Frozen RuGSia.

In Russia, where the cold is very in
tense, the markets are very curious
things. The meat is frozen; the carcases
of dead animals, as sheep and pigs, stand
upright outside the stalls: everything,
even game and poultry, requires to be
thawed before it can be cooked. and the
market peoples dress is as picturesque
as il is warm and comfortable.
Then the rivers are frozen over all the
winter long, and so thick is the ice that
every one can skate, anywhere and any
time. Stalls are put up on the ice and
busy markets held there.
In the Asiatic part of Russia the peo-
pie live chiefly by hunting and fishing,
and the fur Of the Russian animals is
very beautiful-the ermine, fox. sable,
sea otter and Others
At the end Of the winter, when the
snow melts, the huntsman pursues the
elk, wearing long shoes, in which he
can glide over the snow very quickly,
while the poor elk sinks into the snow
deeper and deeper every step and is at
last overtaken and killed.-Good Words

Cannibalism In Saghalien.

The Vladivostock, a newspaper pub
lished in eastern Siberia, reveals terri
BILE state of affairs among the convicts on
the island Of Saghalien. It would ap-
pear that the convicts there have been
treated by some Of the subordinate prison
authorities so harshly that the governor
of the island has been obliged to inter
fere for their protection.
A warder named Khanof and some
of his assistants, who at one time were
convicts themselves and had been raised
to the rank Of jailers, have been removed
from their posts. Khanoff's treatment
of the prisoners was so abominable that
number of them crippled themselves,
cutting off fingers and toes, in order to
be treated as invalids and to be freed
from his terrible cruelties. Others fled
to the impenetrable forest, where they
suffered all the horrors Of hunger
In a satchel belonging to a fugitive
convict who had been hunted down
were found some pieces of human flesh
Investigation revealed that this man had
been one of party of four, and that
only one of them now remained. The
others had been killed and devoured by
their comrades. Similar cases of canni-
balism are, according to the Siberian
journal, not infrequent.

RAILROAD SCRAP ION.
It La Carefully Saved, Assorted and The:
Sold by the Companies.

It Is Carefully Saved, Assorted and Then
Sold by the Companies.
Nothing goes to waste on big rail-
road, and every scrap of iron and much
secondhand material is valued at fixed
price and carried on the books as so much
stock on hand. The system followed by
the storekeeper's department of one rail-
road is sample of many. The second
hand metals are gathered and placed in
piles, regularly assorted.
Then they are classified by the fore
man and taken into stock by the store
keeper or assistant. There are regular
schedules-one of material which can be
used again, which Is denominated Sec
ondhand, and another Of material which
has to be melted before it can be used
which is known as scrap.
The classes are arranged something
after the following order: Steel scrap,
Nos. /, 2, 8, 4, and 6, at prices ranging
from $23 a ton down; wrought iron
Nos. /, 2, 8 and 4; cast iron, Nos. /, 2, 8
and 4. Even borings are taken into ac-
count, brass borings being credited at
eight cents per pound and brass scrap
and copper at twelve.
This material is shipped to division
headquarters when a carload has accu-
INFLATED. Here it is disposed of by the
storekeepez on order of his chief, being
shipped in carloads to big dealers in old
metals in large cities. Much of it goes to
Pittsburg, Cincinnati and such points.
Orders for as high as 100000 pounds of
one kind of material are occasionally re-
ceived from single firms. Most of the
secondhand material is used over again
in the shops, but it is previously taken
On the books at fixed price by the store
keeper and is charged up to the account
of the articles for which it is used. All
disable No. 1 wrought iron is received
and charged up at It cents pound, and
cast iron at one cent.-Philadelphia Call.

To THE EDIToR-I claim to be quiet

seems that the eg0tistical gentleman that
signs himself + Crowell, and is presi-

1T WAS A DIFFERENCE.
Something About What Is a Difference
and Distinction.

and a Distinction.
In speaking of the ruinous credit sys-
tenn and the business men Of this town
who had been sufferers by it, THE GLOBE
mentioned, along with several others
which it happened to recall, Mr.. S R.
PERRY, who, it will be remembered, sold
out to HENRY, O'BRIEN s Co., about two
years ago, having, after fifteen years Of
active business life, concluded to retire
and enjoy the fruits of his thrift and en-
terprise.
For the benefit of those unacquainted
with the circumstances of Mr.. PERRY's
retirement, and that no mistakes may be
made, it is but justice TO Mr.. PERRY to
explain that he did not fail, as some peo-
pie might be led to suppose, neither did
he have to quit business for lack of pro-
fits. He merely decided that he had
enough Of worldly goods to render it un
necessary for him to labor as he had done,
and so he simply sold out TO the new firm,
after paying what he owed and setting
himself square with the world. 1t is a
fact, nevertheless, that MR. PERRY could
have retired several years earlier and
been a much richer man to-day if he had
been able to collect what was honestly
due him.
Neither did M1CEAEIs fail He simply
sold out and went into other business be
cause he could not get what was due him
and prudently declined to furnish drugs
free, as many Of his customers seemed to
expect.
But Why continue? Dead beats there
are and dead beats there will be, so long
as they can live without labor and are
not called down.

Port Los Angeles.

The American Contractor of Chicago
of May 9Th, contains the following:
The rapid growth of Southern Califor-
mia as evidenced by the enorm us in
crease in it's commercial shipments dur
ing the past five years are drawing the
attention of many eastern manufactur-
ers and others thitherward. Especially
since the Southern Pacific railway has
commenced it's war on freight rates-a
matter always interesting to the ship
pers.
The magnificent wharf which this road
has been constructing at Santa Monica,
and the interest which the government
at Wasf ington ia exhibiting in q new
deep water harbor for Southern Califor-
mia also indicate the general feeling that
this part of the United States is deveI-
oping rapidly and will soon become of
more Importance than it has been to the
rest of the country.
The name of the new wharf has been
changed to Port Los Angeles in view of
the expectation that it will be made q
port of entry for Los Angeles. In fact a
petition to congress to have it SO de-
cared officially in accordance with the
act OF congress of March 81, 1892, has
been signed by the leading wholesale
merchants and shippers of Los Angeles,
representing the bulk OF all the jobbers
The chief claims presented are that this
is the nearest available point to Los An
geles, there being at least an hours dit
ference in freight schedule time from
this point and its next nearest rival .
Also being further north it is much more
convenient in all coast-wise business,
steamers from the north landing here
| first and leaving here last on their re-
| turn, fact fully appreciated by the job
beTs, as it often saves an entire COM
mercial day.
as certain heavy shipments are con-
eerned, such as coal, cement, lumber and
few other articles. However, the big
wharf is not yet complete, the coal
bunkers are being built, the company
proposes to build, on the south side OF
the wharf, a rallied walk-way extending
5000 feet out, and $500 feet out boat
landing. For promenaders, fishers, ETC.,
this will be a gala affair and thoroughly
utilized. Later on there is to be erected
large terraced pavilion between the
beach and the bluff-a FOUR story struc-
ture, the first story to contain fine large
bath rooms, the second story prom
enades, band pavilion, etc., and the up
per stories as viewing stands or cham
bers, as the case may be. In fact, the
recent Improvements made and the
many planned, all of most substantial
character, indicate the faith in its future
Importance.
