The 40O-yards distance law is to be defied by some of the persons affected, in a novel way. They have converted thier house into a "hotel." Guests register and a safe is provided for their valuables. When a party takes room the landlady cannot control the visitors who may be received. How proof is to be produced bringing the place within the laws prohibition, will probably puzzle the officers. Very good legal advice is said to have pronounced the subterfuge unassailable.-Phe nix Gazette.

A ruling of great importance was made yesterday by Judge Gooding in the suits to compel payment of the old town warrants. The court held that the action of the town council was illegal in issuing scrip to pay for land given to the rail road company. Most of the war rants were issued to pay for open ing Madison;avenue, afterward given to the railroad for a right of way. The holders of the warrants will now probably sue for the recovery of the land, as they have received no pay for their property.-Yuma Times.

The proposed British Pacific Rail- road, to be built from Vancouver to the northernmost limits of British Columbia, will open up a timber belt exceeding in area the timber belt of Washington and Oregon. This road may at no distant date become a part of system extend ing to Alaska and eventually to Behring Straits and Siberia. The route to Alaska has been travelled over and found to contain few seri- ous obstacles to the building of a ailroad.-Railway Review.

The heaviest income tax ever levied by a civilized government was that imposed upon the people of the United States in 1864, when, perhaps for the first time in human history, patriotism was so strong a passion that men really paid a tax which they might have evaded. A. T. Stewards income tax in one year was S312,000, being fifteen per cent of his income. One millionaire of this city who, alarmed at the long continuance of the war, so disposed of his wealth abroad that for one fiscal year it yielded no income, a true account of his affairs to the collector, and, in accordance with the latter's advice, paid in full a tax estimated on his income Of the year before.-New York Sun.

Some idea will be formed of the amount of traffic in Rio when it is stated that it is harbor of the first class, and that on an average 5000 steamers and other vessels touch at it every year. In it's small stuffy warehouses millions of sacks of cof fee are accumulated in the course of every twelve months-in fact, Rio is the chief coffee mart in the whole world.-Harper's Weekly.

According to the New York Sun complete statistics show that the production of beet sugar in the United States has more than dou- bled during the past year, although there has been no increase in the number of factories. The total pro duction of the six factories was 27,- 0S3,32 pounds, against q total ol 12,004,S3S pounds last year. Ex- periments in growing sugar beets have been tried in a number of the Western States, and the success has been so great that the number oi factories will be increased.

The Parisian scientist, NJ. Chif- fanjon, not long ago discovered the fact that the Amazon and Orinoco Rivers have the same source, and that the Rio Cassiquiari, a stream two hundred miles long, connects the Upper Orinoco with the Rio Negro tributary of the Amazon. Il a few sand-bars, etc., were taken away light -draught steamer could go from one river to the other, and thus cross the continent twice, by different routes.

The application of photography to astronomy has been productive of especially noteworthy results in the discovery of the small bodies which move in orbits between those of Mars and Jupiter. From the ob- servation of the first of these, Ceres, in 1901, until the end of 1891. 321 had been discovered by the labor ious method of eye observation. Then photography was broughtinto this service, and within the last ff- teen months no fewer than forty four of these celestial bodies have been found. Six were found by Professor Charlois of Nice in the first week of March.-New York Sun.

Charcoal is valuable as fuel, but 1t has other uses which make il one of the most serviceable of ar ticles. When laid fiat, while cold, on burn, it causes the pain to abate; by leaving it on for an hour the burn seems healed when the wound is superficial. Tainted meat surrounded with it is sweetened. Strewn over heaps of decomposed pelts, or over dead animals, char coal prevents unpleasant odors. Foul water is purified by it.-Age of Steel.

A baby was born in New York the other day. It was an Astor baby, and is heir to $l50.000,000. Mr. Bellamy's Nation thus figures on the wealth and income of this one baby:
 At 6 per cent, the interest is $90,- 100000 per year, or $30,000 per day for, say, 300 working days. It, therefore, would require 10000 workingmen at $50 per day to pay the interest and somebody must pay it. Or look a little further. When this baby Is 21 years old, the $150.- 100000 has doubled twice, and it is $6O0,0O0,00O. Then an army of S0,- GOO men must work ito pay this interest. But we must leave at least Sl per day for the laboror and his family for subsistence. Then it will take an army of 240,000 la boring men to keep this fortune up, allowing each laborer to be a man of family and five to the family, it follows that no less than 1,200,- GOO persons are interested in the fortune of that 150 times a million aire baby.

According to Mir George A. Allen, the Mohaves believe that the spirits of their dead go up in smoke to the White Mountain"when their bodies are cremated, and that property which is thrown into the flames goes mp with them. They also have a belief that all the Mohaves who die and are not cremated turn into owls, and when they hear an owl hooting at night they think it is the spirit of some dead Mohave returned.

Are Americans a Practical People |!

E
 The notion prevails in this coun- try that we are a very practical peo- ple. We take credit to ourselves for being sensible, shrewd. and at least mindful of our own interests. This quality gets a harsher name from our foreign critics. They say that we are materialistic. grasping, and, in fact sordId, as the thing we care most for is money, and that which we are most alive about is our material interests. They admit that we are "smart," but say that we are mentally commonplace and unimaginative. The critics are mis- taken, and our own estimate of our selves is more complacent than cor rect. We are a very imaginative people, and in many ways the most impractical. The old stage concep- tion of Uncle Sam as a good na- tured rustic sitting in rocking chair, whiting, was not altogether ou. of the way. Whittling is not a remunerative occupation, as rule, although this quaint waiter on Providence, who seemed to imagine that if he sat at ease, all good things would, in the course of time, pass his way, occasionally did whittle out an invention that would save him from labor. He answered tue gibes of his critics by pointing out the fact that the chair he sat in was a self-rocker-a little invention of his own. He was a man of vague dreams and inspirations.
 No, brought to the test in the commercial struggle of the modern world for supremacy, the American is not practical In rivalry with other active nations he shows him. self a bungler, and lacking inprac- tical wisdom and foresight. An in ventsr. yes; but lacking practical shrewdness. He is very ingenious. He has gone on doubling in the pass few years the great world sta ples of corn, cotton and iron, and he seems confidently to expect that Providence will market them for him; especially as he has cheapen- ed the cost of all'these products, it would only be fair for Providence to attend to the selling part. He knows that one per cent of the ara ble land Tn the cotton States will produce all the cotton the world can use, and he knows that the pro- duct of cotton and iron and grain increases in. an enormously greater ratio than the population, and yet he neglects many of the most ob- vious means to profit by this boun- ty of nature and of his situation. He looks on and brags about his greatness, while his industrial and commercial rivals occupy the mar kets of the world. Now that he is in rivalry with them for fair share in so plain a prize, his conduct shows him to be the most unprac- tical of men.-Chas. Dudley War ner, in Harper's Magazine.

Compared with its predecessor, last year shows a slight decline in the production of wood pulp, the figures being 210,000 tons for 1892, against 23O,OOO tons for 1891. The value of last years production is es- timated at about 9420,0O0. No manufactories fer mechanical wood pulp have been erected in Norway during 1892, and the number of such factories still remains at fifty eight, of which about dozen are connected with paper mills. The Wood Pulp Union has arranged that operations shall be suspended for a month during the year, and that last years quotations of 36 kr. for wet a-d 75 kr. to 80 kr. for dry wood pulp per ton f, o. b. shall be maintained.-Scientific American.

An incident related recently in the Trinidad Field Naturalists' Club goes to indicate that the bite of the tarantula is not especially poison ous. A Iaborer was badly bitten in the foot, and was much frightened. He was taken to the infrmary, hop ping all the way on the other foot A fermentation of water and spirits of ammonia was applied, and he was given a dose of ether mixture. He ate his dinner heartily about two hours later, and slept we'll at night. In the morning he com plained of no pain and went to work as usual. No local swelling or in- hamation was observed, and but little pain at any time. Fright was the only i'll effect.-Philadelphia Ledger.

and the Desarte system have all had Their IT'D

But one Of the greatest agencies OF civilization

sanction OF my approval l.
Since the summer boarder has been abroad III

The summer boarder has gone forth into the
country and Culture has gone with him. together
with the neglge shirt and his silk SASH and the
BURBERRY hills re-echo with Beethoven's Sonatas
and the voices of youths and maidens quarrel

But the summer boarder himself has been en-
lightened also. He no longer thinks that butter

from milkweed. He has ceased for several years

fully educated up to the conviction that water

The summer boarder has done n big thing for the
country and for himself. and he ought to be
allowed board in the country for at least three
