Out of His Element.

A rather vulgar parsonage, who had been created a marquis a few r 7nths previous to this story, managed to get himself invited to Q court ball in Italy. The new-nedged marquis could not contain himself for joy, and exhaled proud satisfaction at every pore. Cast ing an Olympian glance around the room, he chanced to spy among the ladies the t2ll, angular figure of an elderly matron, with compressed lips, as though afraid ofwasting her breath, and as lean as lath. She was lean ing on the arIn of a young gentleman. Who is that naany-Goat?" said the noble lord to a gentleman who was standing beside him. And the latter replied with a knowing smile: That nanny-goat is the eInbassadress of S--, the mother Of the kid who is giv-
 ng her his arm, and the wife of the old buck who has the honor of speaking with your eXcellcncy."

BORING IN TIE SEA FOR OIL.
American Driilers at Work for the 1Iika-
 dos Government.

dos Government.
 The Japanese government has had in it's employ for over a year past twSs tex- pert oil drillers from the Pennsylvania oil region. who are experimenting bor ing for oil ii2 the water5 of the Japan sea, one hundred and fifty yards from shore, just outside Idzmozal,;, city of about thirteen thAusand popu- latlon on the northwestern coast of Japan and about ffty-five miles southwest of Niigata. They have met with success. This venture is re- garded by the Pittsburgh Dispatch as promising some important develop ments, especially as, instead of that government importing the refined oil from this country in the quantity they have been doing, they have now erect ed four or five refncries. With taeSe they are refining their own Oil< the producing of which is yet largely inad- equate to their demand and also be- ginning to refine the crude which they import from the United States and Russia. The most of the refined oil which they import from this country comes from Philadelphia. Their native oil is similar to the Pennsylvania oil, but little darker and of forty-three gravity. The present price of oil there is from three dollars and twenty-five cents to three dollars and tWenty-nine cents barrel, or in their native cur rency from four van and ninety sen to five van. 4 van varies with the price of gold, but these drillers said it was worth sixty-fve and three-fourths cents in gold when they left.
 At Idznozali, which is noted as a fishing town, the available shore line is very narrow, it being occupied by the city, immediately back of which the mountains, about two hundred and fifty feet high, rise. The wells are crowding out into the waters of the sea, much as they have been doing at St. NIary's reservoir in the north western part of Ohio. About four hundred and fifty feet out the water is only some three and one-half feet deep. They usually put down a cribbing of logs or tiEnter, which they i'll in with earth aHsShus obtain the necessary though somewhat limited space upon which they can proceed with their operations and boring. They run out to sthe derrick from shore a narrow walk upon which the natives carry to land on their backs the oil, few gallons at a time. La bor is very cheap there, and natives work for seven van Q month and find or board themselves, van be- ing, as before stated, about sixty cents. They arc not organized, have no such things as labor unions, and strikes are unknown. They have no set time for days work, which is practically during daylight, frequent ly beginning work at the wells at four o'clock in the morning.

A BIG CLAM MINE.
Thousands of the BivaIves Stored at the
 Mouth of Delaware Bay.

Thousands of the BivaIves Stored at the
 Mouth of Delaware Bay.
 A clam mine, full of live clans, and of great breadth and depth, has been discovered at the mouth of the Della ware bay, off the Fishing creek shore. This has proved a valuable find, and recently about one hundred boats. con taining from three to five men each, were at work on the mine, says the Trenton Free American. The product of the great bed is shipped daily to Chicago, a speculatOr of that city agreeing to take the entire output of the mine at about thirty cents per hun drcd delivered at Bennett's station, on the West Jersey railroad. There has recently been corner in the clam market, and choice articles have been sold at as high as one dollar per hum dred to restaurant keepers.
 The pocket of clans covers a wide area just beyond the low-water mark, and, consequently, all who wish to may dredge without fear CT favor. It was discovered some days ago by Will liam Harper, of Green Creek, who found dozens of prime clans imbedded deeply in a small cake of ice washed ashore close by Highland and Arling- ton beaches. Marking the spot care fully he waited until the ice was en- tirely out of the bay, and then taking a boat he patrolled the bayside from end to end until he located the mine. For day or so his liberal finds at tracted no attention, but one by one the idle fishermen and farmers rowed out to the mine and helped themselves. The find being located beyond the low water mark the mine is public proper ty, and is being worked for all it will bear.
 The other day over fifty thousand clans started on their journey west from Bennett's station. The bags were piled so high as to almost hide the station house.
 Every now and then a discovery something like this is made, but the present mine exceeds any previous find known on the Atlantic coast. About three years are required for clans to grow properly and attain a marketable size and flavor. This bed is said by ex- perts to be about three years old.

NOT so BAD AS IT MIGHT BE.
The Climate of Alaska Not Worse Than
 That Of Oregon.

A newspaper correspondent who spent the winter in a settlement on the Yukon river, Alaska, reports that the climate was not so bad as he had been led to expect. At the time of writing he had been out every day, and could testify that he often suffered more from cold in Oregon than in that local ity of the Arctic circle. This, he be- lieved, was owing to the fact that there were no high and furious winds. A mission priest gave him a record of mean monthly tempera lures for the period commencing July l. 1890. and ending June 90, 1891. From this it ap- pears that the mean temperature (the record was taken at five o'clock a. m. every day) for July was fifty-two de- grees, August forty-fve, September forty. October twenty-seven. December eleven degrees below zero. January eight degrees below, March thirteen above and June fifty. Thirty degrees below zero was the collcst the writer himself had experienced at any time. The locality of these records was in latitude sixty-foIlr degrees forty min utes north and near the one hundred and fifty-cighth meridian. west longi- tude. The people there, he says, are much given to wearing suits of cotton material over their furs, and the tradi- tional Alaskan. almost smothered in parlzas or long coats of fur, scarcely exists to-day, The advantage of wear ing cotton goods which the natives are willing to take as payment for la Dor. is that they do not hold snow and frost. which collect rapidly on the fur garment, to the annoyance of the wc2rer.
