Pride in his country, in his own

A widow who marries an aged
innate of a national home for the
purpose of becoming a pensioner,
to the manifest shame of the hus-
band, ought not to be paid in the
coin for which they sold them
selves. Those old soldiers who
never left the states, who were
drafted or received large bounties,
and whose service amounted to
only few month outing on big
pay, and is we'll and in good cir
cumstances surely need not ask
for pension. One thing we should
bear in mind, the pension roll
should be roll of honor. Let
every brave boy Or man whose
life blood has marked his name as
nations defender be written high
on the roll and his pension paid
over in generous justice, but let
those names that are put on the
rolls through trickery, or fraud, or
unholy marriage be blotted off.

The Story of Bresca.

The little town of Bordighera in
Italy has furnished the Eastern
palms at Rome ever since the year
1886 How the grant was obtained
by Bresca the brave old sea captain,
Is curious story. Standing with
the crowd in the open plaza, before
the Cathedral of st. Peters, he was
gazing with breathless interest at the
workmen engaged in erecting the
Egyptian obelisk. So momentOus and
difficult a task was this regarded that
Pope Sixtus V. forbade any one to
utter loud word during the opera
ton, on pain Of death.
All went we'll until the massive
stone column reached certain angle,
when to the horror of the multitude
and the despair Of the engineer, 1t
ceased to move. Various expedients
were resorted to without avail, and
all seemed lost, when suddenly a
voice broke the silence, crying:
"Aiga, dai de l'aiga ae corde!"
("Water, give water to the ropes.')
This suggestion, which came from
the old sailor, was quickly acted up
on; the obelisk slowly righted itself
and was successfully raised to the
position it now occupies.
When the trembling Rresca was
brought a prisoner before the Pope
for punishment, the latter not only
pardoned the offense, but offered to
grant him any reasonable request.
The unselflsh soul of the man showed
itself when, instead of petitioning
for some personal preferment, he
begged that the right Of furnishing
the palms for Easter should be be-
slowed upon his family and the vii
layers OF Bordighera, his birthplace.
The request was granted, and is re-
spected to this day.

in 1882 to accept nomination, and,
after a memorable campaign, reduced
the ordinary Republican majority Of
1000 to ten votes. In 1888 he was
again nominated for Congress in the
same district against his positive re-
fusal and made over fifty speeches for
the Presidential ticket. In this con-
test he again cut down the usual ma
jority. Since his retirement from
Congress in 1877 he has been contin-
uously engaged in the legal practice,
but has always taken lively interest
in political affairs and in advancing
the success of the Democratic party.
He has represented his State in
every National Democratic cOnven-
tion since 1880. In the St Louis
convention Of 1898, which renomi-
mated Mr.. Cleveland, when Senator
German and Henry Watterson in tn e
Committee on Resolutions wraDgled
a whole day as to the tariff declara-
ton of the platform, Lawrence T..
Neal, the Ohio member OF the com
mittee, brought the contending ele-
ments together and framed the plank
as it was accepted by the committee
add ratified by the convention. He
was a member Of the Platform Com
mittee of the Chicago convention and
proposed the amendment which was
finally adopted as the tariff policy OF
the party upon which to make the

The oyster Garden OF Arcachon

The great oyster garden at Area
chon. France, is a basin on the Bay
of Biscay. connected with the At
lantc only by very narrow opening,
and is sixty-eight miles in circumfer-
ence and protected from winds by the
pine clad heights that surround 1t.
The waters are salt enough, and yet
not too strong, the bottom is OF the
gravelly sand favorable to oyster
breeding, and the rise and fall Of the
tides are such that the basin Is COM
pletely covered at high tide and the
beds are largely uncovered at low
water. The oyster has always been
an inhabitant of this spot. The stock
had become nearly exhausted forty
wears ago, but has been recruited by
individual enterprise under the en-
couragement OF the government.
There are now twelve thousand i've
hundred acres OF oyster beds In the
basin. Several thousand men and
women are employed to attend them,
and the average annual sale of oysters
by the principal firm Is over two
hundred millions. AS the majority
are not sold under two years old, and
these only for relaying, 1t is computed
that there are usually five hundred

The bulk Of the American prOduc.
ton outside of California comes from
Colorado, Montana, Nevada, and Da-
kota. Idaho, Arizona, New Mexico,
Oregon, Washington, and Alaska fol-
low closely in about the order named.
Gold is produced, however, in nearly
every State and Territory in the
Union. The States along the APP
palachan range are mining consider
able gold. Last year South Carolina
produced 1923, 1854, Georgia $94, 1873,
North Carolina $7S, $50, and Virginia
S., OO2. Maryland produced but 81
900, but the year before had 81 200
set down to her credit.
New and improved methods OF
mining which have been introduced
into these mines within the last year
will materially increase their produc-
ton, as 1T will make profitable many
mines which had been closed, not
because they were exhausted, but
because it did not pay to work them.
Texas, Maine and Michigan all have
gold, but not in paying quantities.

California is the great gold field Of
the continent. Last year there was

interesting feature of the lattcr-day

THREE MILLION BACHELORS
That's What the Census Shows, and It

That's What the Census Shows, and It's
Time Some Repented.
According to the last census re-
ports, there are over 1900, 900 bach
elors in the United States-by which
is meant there are 5000, 600 men over
thirty years old who have never been
married, says the Boston Globe.
This fact, of course, furnishes a
very handy text for all sorts Of COM
ment and suggestion. Now and then
the scheme is advocated of making
neglect OF matrimony statutory Of
Tense, either by way Of tax discrimi-
nation in favor Of married parties or
otherwise.
In earlier times marriage was com
pulsory. The great world conQuerors
wanted material for their armies, and
SO heavy penalties were laid on neg
lect to marry.
One interesting question which the
census figures do not answer is this:
"How many Of these 5000, 600 bach
elors are single from choice rather
than necessity"
The factors affecting the ability to

changed under the newer industrial
aid commercial condition. So great
has become the competition for places
among the higher pursuits, and SO
largely have women come to fiji po-
sitions once exclusively occupied by
men. that the bureaus Of industrial
statistics show show a larger and
larger percentage Of men in these
pursuits whose incomes, from their
point OF view, will not permit them
to marry.
1t is easy TO scold the young men
in this matter-quite as easy as to
find fault with the young women who
are looking out for husbands with
plenty of ready money. But there is
nothing in the published census fig
utes regarding the average earnings
of certain classes of workers which at
all warrants the conclusion that the
majority OF these 100000 unmar-
ried men remain single through will
fulness rather than what they deem
necessity.

Tea in rhibet.

All Of the tea used in Mongolia and
Thibet comes in the shape of bricks,
which have uniform weight Of five
pounds, measuring nine inches in
length by six inches in width and
three inches in thickness. The tea of
which they are composed is not the
plant to which we are accustomed.
1t is obtained from large and woody
shrub The small twigs and leaves
are steamed, the sticks being dried
and ground to powder. The stun
thus prepared is mixed with a little
rice water to make it sticky, and is
then rammed into a mold by means
of a wooden stick shod with iron.
Such tea would be considered too
poor for use in China proper, where
all of it is manufactured and whence
it is exported for consumption by the
ignorant jewellers on the frontier.
The Thibetans cannot get along
without tea. 1t is said that they
even sell their children for it to their
grasping priests, who control the
trade and hoard the bricks like gold
In the monasteries. These tea bricks
have circulated as currency at fixed
value in Mongolia and Thibet, but in
the latter country they have recently
become demonetized, owing to the
introduction Of rupees from India.
Until lately a brick of tea was worth
one rupee. The monks Of the Batang
monastery in Thibet, having boarded
great treasures in the shape OF tea
bricks, have found it impossible to
dispose Of them at par. or course
you know that Thibet Is a province
of China and part OF the empire.
Chinese diplomatic officials make a
practice Of smuggling tea into Thibet
in the guise Of baggage, thus enrich
ing themselves greatly. The Thib-
etans say:
"They come into our country with
out trousers and they depart with a
thousand loaded yaks."
The Thibetan teapot is a churn,
like an ordinary butter-churn. They
take small portion from brick,
pound it in a mortar, make an in
fusion, strain it, and pour it into the
churn, adding a little salt A lump
OF butter is thrown in, and the
mixture is churned for a while. Then
it is ready to drink. The result Is
described as resembling weak tea,
with the sugar and tea left out.

million oysters OF various ages upon
these beds The beds having been

million oysters OF various ages upon
these beds. The beds having been
artiflcially made, the whole process Of
oyster breeding can be witnessed
there. They are laid out in parks,
each park embracing twenty or more
beds, and between the parks, as be-
tween the sections of the beds, are
waterways for the passage OF boats.
The beds are made OF sand and gray
ell. upon foundations Of wooden piles,
and raised above the level OF the
basin bottom, but not to such an ex-
tent as to expose them at other than
low tides. A barrier Of "switches"or
nets protects the beds from fishes.
Sets OF earthenware tiles are arranged
for the reception of the young oysters
or "spat." coated with mortar, SO that
anything fixing itself to them may be
scraped Off easily. Sometimes each
of these tiles will be covered by five
or six hundred young oysters. They
develop rapidly, and in about Il
month take the form Of real minia-
ture oysters. Then they need more
room, and are thinned by scraping,
to be placed wider apart on other
tiles, or to be transferred to their
final beds, or to wire bottomed trays.
