Gus pawn brokers places on the Bowery,

coat, which he wore tightly bnttoned
about his body. was 50 nearly new that

had probably cost forty or forty-Ave
dollars. As soon as the door closed be-

Darius Appears to H1ve Been the First
STANDARD OIL Magnate.
IN Athens, writes r. B. Sanborn to
the Boston Advertiser, / met a gentle
man not long since at the Caspian sea,
near which Russian lake there have
been extensive oil wells of the czar'S
subjects, all dug and to some extent
worked by Americans He tolls me that
now the American competition in pc
Jroleum is 50 great that the Russian oil
no longer commands living price, and
that the business is greatly depressed
IN that part of the Russian empire.
Mentioning to him the English story
that the petroleum Of that region had
poisoned the waters of tue river Volga,
so that the fish are all dying, he told
mo that could hardly be, since the Cas-
plan sea abounds in excellent fish and
yet is covered with oil, so that person
bathing in 1t, as he did, finds himself
Enointed with petroleum on coming
out. He said that the fine Russian
steamers on the Caspian have their en-
pines run with oil from the wells near
Bal1u, which is the soil city" of Asiatio
Russia
Herodotus of Hahcarnassus speaks Of
oil wells Ia ancient Persia, near which,
at good distance from Susa, che Per-
sian king settled the colony of con-
Quered Eretrians from the island of Eu-
beau, whom he carried off in $50 3. c.,
5@st before the battle of Marathon.
ArdeYicca is the name of that oil city.
md Herodotus says it produced three
things-salt, asphalt and oil-an from
the same well-whence they were
drawn with sweep and bucket, as the
Cld-fashioned Yankees still draw water
and as it is drawn IN Greece, when
the people are ingenious enough to
have well sweep, and keep it in re-
pair, which is not always the case. The
heaviest salt and asphalt hardened and
separated. while the lighter oil was cob
lected In tubs and pals and tanks, SO
that Darius, the great king, was at the
head of the Standard Oil company of
which history makes mention-unless
Hebrew or Egyptian chronicles have
something more ancient to offer.

One OF Them Is Mania for Hiding
Things from Burglars.
Every woman is possessed Of some
mania in mild form which, however,
is of rs pronounced type, though less
aggressive, as that which has sent
many poor mortal to the insane asy-

vertiser claims that this is no rash
statement, but merely study from
actual life Take in your own family,
for instance: Do you not say: Jessie
or Belle or Susie is absolutely crazy on
such and such subject" And though
the topics vary with the women the de-
mentia is not leSsened one whit there
by. Look at the number OF feminine
eare-takers who have passion for hld-
ing away their possessions, and so care
fully do they put them out Of sight that
they themselves forget where the

thimble or roll Of bills in a pair of

and then, in less than twenty-four
hours, give the stockings away TO a
blind baggar, sell the contents of the
basket TO the ragman and light q coy
fire in the CRATE right on top Of the
most cherished possessions? Yet this
IS done every day, if the papers speak
the truth; and who would have the

press? Then again there are women SO
morbidly afraid of robbers that it be-

night a search begins under beds and
into dark closets, which, if successful in
its object, would turn their hair gray
in one night When bedtime comes

PALMETTO PAPER.
A New and Valuable Addition to Paper
stock.

A New and Valuable Addition to Paper
stoclr.
At the present time when paper stock
is scarce and the prices advancing, q
special interest is taken by paper man
ufacturers in palmetto fiber. 1t Is not
generally known that factories have
been established IN the south for the
manufacture of paper from that article.
1t is only within the last few years that
American manufacturers have paid any
attention to this fiber as paper stock.
In England and France, however, 1T
has been for more than thirty years in
practical use. In fact, one firm IN Lon
don have used over one thousand pounds
yearly for the last twenty years. The
material which they use and which is
converted into notes and bonds Is pro-
duced in Africa. The great expense Of
procuring it hos deferred InanufacGur-
ers in this country from using it, but
since the establishment of factories
here this difficulty to 2 great extent has
been overcome. It Is said th&t the
great solidity Of palmetto wood pulp
makes it more valuable than any other
wood pulp, and it Is therefore recon-
mended to manufacturers for the max
ing of pals, tubs, casks and other uten-
sils Because of its solidity, 1t is also
very valuable for use in rough casts for
models and holdings. The supply of
this wood is practically unlimited; it is
now found in endless quantities all over
Florida The leaf and stem are almost
entirely composed of valuable fibers,
which Ia the raw state have a rough
appearance. These are not very plant
when dry, but are exceedingly flexible
when wet, and if sklnuliy handled can
be divided into extremely small threads,
In many instances the finer grades Of
fiber resemble wool more than cotton,
linen or silk
