A Miniature Republic.

The Independent Republic of An
dora is divided into six parishes, of
which the largest is Andorra, with
1900 inhabitants; the smallest
Eucamps, with only 600. In the
whole country there are not 5000
people, but the territory is only
twelve square miles. Each parish is
governed by Major Consul, assisted
by Minor Consul, and by an elected
Consul.
Each parish has right to half its
revenue;the other half belongs to the
country. The people are really of
the Catalonian race; but their Ian
guage, although of the Catalonian
family, is regarded as language and
not as dialect. The Andoran men
wear the Catalonian headdress. which
is kind Of '4iberty cap" snort
Andalusian jacket and homespun
knee brooches. The women are con-
sidercd inferior, receive no instruc-
tion, serve their husbands, and are
not permitted to eat at the table with
them,

LUCKNOW, India, has singular
feature in the bird market which is
daily visited by thousands of natives.
Hundreds of birds are purchased fol
various uses. Certain species are
bought for food. others for love
potions, others again to use as evil
charms Eating crow is supposed
to prolong lite by keeping the hair
black and preventing it from turning
gray. The common bluejay has GER
tain rites performed over it. and is
then set free after one feather has
been plucked from it. This feather is
then worn as an amulet. and is sup
posed to have great potency in avert
ing the evil eye. Another purpose
for which birds are purchased every
morning Is to set free again. This is
done by Hindus as work of merit,
and by Mohammedans, after certain
rites have been performed, as an
atonement, in imitation of the Jew
ish scapegoat The merit obtained
by setting bird free is not attrib-
uted to the Deity, but is supposed to
come in large measure from the
bird itself or from its attended spirit,
and hence birds of good or bad omen,
and especially kites and crows are
In much demand, and are regularly
caught to be sold for this purpose

Two Friends.

Some crustaceans hide their shells
under another sea creature, appar-
emily to protect themselves. A GER
tain hermit crab found in the Medi-
terranean Sea is fond OF a sea-ane-
none, and it is unusual to find
shell which hermit has chosen for
his house unprotected bv his anemone
friend. A gentleman relates that he
captured and put in large aquarium
one of these sea-anemOnes, on a shell
IN which was a hermit crab who
seemed already to have 0ut2rown his
house.
'.All went we'll for a while" he
writes, ''then the hermit grew SO
large that he had to leave his shell
and abandon his friend. An hour
after the hermit left his old shell I
looked at the aquarium again. and
was surprised to find the sea-anemone
on top of the new shell which the
hermit crab had adopted as his dwell
ling. They both seemed very we'll
satisfied.
"How had the anemone come there?
soon found out. cautiously lifted
the shell to the surface nf the water
and let the anemOne fall to the bot
tom OF the aquarium, then put the
shell down near it.
Hardly had the crustacean touched
bottom before he seized the anemone
with one claw, then with two, and l
saw at once what he intended to do.
with great care he went to work
to replace the anemone on the shell.
He found the anemone upside down,
and he took great pains to set it up
right again. Then he grasped it
firmly with two claws, and raised it
and placed it on the shell. For
twelve minutes he remained perfectly
motiOpless, pressing it firmly on the
shell all the time. Then he very
cautiously took away first one claw.
and then the other.
II was pleased to see that when he
moved, the sea anemone remained in
place, as firmly fixed as the energetic
crab could wish"

He admits that the new wire is about

I was aroused by something and sat
up and looked about me. The calm
continued. and everything was quiet

1t was daylight when l .awoke

me how or why they had disappeared.

big island and New Zealand. My

was sent out in search of the lost

There's Profit in Advertising.

Allen c. Mason, one of the big
millionaires of Tacoma, is under forty.
Mason's wealth illustrates the value
of newspaper advertising. Just ten
years ago he was teaching school in
Jacksonville, Iii. He borrowed SO, 900
for three years to come to Puget
Sound, settled in Tacoma, and went
into the real estate and loan bust
ness. During five years his trans
actions amounted to more than

library of 10000 volumes and owns
all sorts of valuable property. He
considers the newspapers one Of the
secrets OF success. He put all his
money at first into newspaper adj
vertising. He started in by advertis-
ing his real estate in religious papers
spending at first 800 a month and
increasing till he was spending $500
month in this way. Then he tried
the big Eastern dailies, and one Sun
day he spent $40, 900, all that he had
at the time, in putting two-page ads
in the big Sunday newspapers OF New
York, Boston, and Philadelphia. The
result was that the letters came in
by the bushel, and half Of them con-
tanned money, and Mr.. Mason says he
is still getting business from the adj
vertising of that time.
