THE Russian government has de-
cided to impose Il tax on all occupied
houses. This tax is to be in lieu Of
an income tax which was abandoned
as nonfeasible some little time ago.
The impost is to be levied for the
present in 220 Of the chief towns Of
European Russia and Poland, which
are TO be divided into four classes.
The first class comprises the two capi-
tals-MoscOw and st. Petersburg.
There are 10 towns in the second class,
81 in the third and III in the fourth.
The aggregate population of these
800 towns is estimated at $500, 900.
The basis of the tax is to be the rem
tai and the minimum assessment in
the four classes is fixed at 300, 22o, $50
and 40 roubies respectively. 1t will
be seen that these assessments will
not press unduly on the poorer
classes, but it is also in contempla-
ton to create IL fifth class with a
minimum assessment of sixty roubles.

An Experiment With CameIs.

In 1900 Congress appropriated 500
600 to be expended in the purchase of
dromedaries and camels, to be en-
ployed for military purposes. In ac-
cOrdance with that act Jefferson Davis,
then Secretary Of War, assigned Major
Henry G. Wayne, United States army,
for that duty, and instructed him to
visit Asia and other eastern countries.
The United States store ship Supply
was placed at his disposal, under COM
mand of Lieutetant David ID. Porter.
Major Wayne left New York on the
10Th of May, 1855, for the orient, and
sailed from Smyrna, in the Asia
Minor, on the 10Th of February, 1856,
with thirty-three camels, of which
one died; six were born on the pass
age, of which four died. He arrived
on the 18th of May, 1856, at Indian
olo, Texas, with thirty-four camels.
The camels were sent to Cape
Verde, about sixty miles from San
Antonio, Texas. The object was to
use the burden animals in transport
ing supplies from San Antonio to the
camp. The dromedaries were to be
used as Il means Of rapid transit for
messengers and couriers, and as pack
animals for scouting parties instead
of mules. 1t was thought that pos
sibly the dromedaries might be
mounted with Il small gun throwing
shrapnel.
In the meantime Lieut.. Porter set
out for the second expedition, taking
along an agent, at a salary of $4,000
per year. He purchased IA lot of
beautiful animals, all young, and on
November -, 1886, sailed from Smyr-
ma with forty-four camels and drome-
daries of different breeds, six of
which were presented by the sultan.
After Il most fearful voyage and expe-
riencing the severest gales and hurri-
canes the second camel expedition
arrived at the mouth of the Missis-
sippi January 30, 1857. Forty-one
camels in good order were landed at
Indianola and transported to the
others at the camp. After several
years trial ii was claimed that the
animals were not adapted for military
transportation in this country, and
the entire lot was sold at auction, the
highest price being S3l per head.
So far | have not been able to as
certain what fate these animals
shared, but undoubtedly the camels
found in southern Arizona to-day are
the remnants and offspring of those
imported about thirty-seven years
ago in the state of Texas. | am in
correspondence with the governor of
Arizona, and shall communicate with
the proper authorities in this city,
with the object of saving the camels
from destruction, and removing them
to some government reservation,
probably the Yellowstone National
Park. and securing a few for the
Geological Park OF this city

One Factory Makes Enough 70 Give
One to Every Man.


Newark is the birthplace of most
OF the corkscrcws OF the world. When
IL is stated that one firm i'm that city
alone made 100, 00O, 900 corkscrewsla last
year, the size and importance OF the
industry will be understood.
The average length OF the cork
screw is three inches. III the cork
screws turned on the market by one
firm in 1893 could be laid length to
length they would have extended from
New York to San Francisco, would
have spanned the Pacific cea and
reached half way across japan. This,
be it remembered, was the work OF
only n establishment. II all the
g corkscrews OF 1893 could be num-
bered, they would doubtless be sufi-
cient to supply every %inhabitant Of
this sphere with one Of the articles.
1t required nearly 100 men simply
TO twist the screws for the 100, 600
900 implements. These men worked
full time, too, and every day Of the
year, except Sundays and holidays.
1t took II number more hands TO
make the wooden and other styles OF
handles. There are nearly fifty varie-
ties in the market. Among them are
the ring handle, steel wire screws for
demijohns and large bottles; the
folding screw and the broad wire
hsndlc screw. Several years ago an
ice-pick and cigar-box opener was
made with IL screw concealed i'm the
steel tube handle. The tube can be
slipped off, and the ice-pick forms
the handle Of the screw. Another
novelty has IA brush in the handle so,
that the waiter i'm II restaurant is not
obliged to run his fingers around the
inside Of the neck Of IL bottle i'm order
to remove the PARTICLES Of cork and
dust. For champagne bottles a screw
is made with II blade in n end OF the
handle TO cut the Irvine around the
cork. Another handle contains both
the blade and the brush. The power
corkscrew is an ingenious and popu-
lar arrangement, which saves the
knees and arms from n tussle with
an obstinate cork. A cone OF steel
fits over the neck Of the bottle, and
the screw draws the cork while the
cone presses on the bottle.
Cheap novelties out Of twisted wire
have also been invented and patented
by those i'm the corkscrew trade. The
spiral rlumbscrew is n Of these.
1t can be pushed into n board and
easily removed, after serving as II
temporary hatrack. 1t can be pur-
chased for 81 II gross, and retails at
> cents. Spiral paper hooks, wall
hooks, hat and coat racks and stair
buttons, card suspenders and holders,
bill files, soap holders, pickle forks,
toasting and vegetable forks, and
spiral shoe button hooks are also
manufactured here in Newark. There
is also II lcft-handcd cork,crew. The
original was made for IA l~eft-handed
bartender, and it has been popular.
A Newark firm turns out over BOO 600
pocket corkscrews every year New

Lemon grass is not a native of

native of India and Arabia, where it Is
sometimes found in great abundance.
1t has a strong-lemon-like fragrance.

1t is too coarse to be eaten by cattle

Arctic Exploration.

Arctic exploration made advances
during the year 1893, and two expedi-
tions are now locked in the cold
embrace Of the frozen north. These
are the exploring parties OF Peary and
Nanscn. Lieutenant Peary sailed from
Portland, Maine, intending TO visit II
number Of the Labrador forts in
search Of dogs and other equipments,
and then to plan on north. He was TO
leave U%pernavik and attempt the
passage Of Melville Bay. Under date
Of August II Peary wrote from Falcon
Harbor, Bowdoin Bay, Greenland, to
Charles +. Daily, President Of the
American Geographical Society. He
said that he had landed there with
eighty-four dogs obtained at various
points along the Labrador and Green
land coasts and had scarcely been
troubled ut all by the ice. He wrote
also that he had made the passage
Of Melville Bay from the Duck Islands
TO Cape York in nearly II direct line,

Odd Things About Cents.

From time to time one sees refer
ences in the daily papers, referringto
the difficulty experienced by the
ferry companies, car lines, etc, in
disposing Of enormous accumulations
Of ordinary copper cents. The reader
is very apt to remember this, partic-
ularly if in exchange for II dollar bill
he is returned n~incty-tive one cent
pieces by n conductor.
As n matter of fact, there is no ex-
cuse for the item, much less for n ear

ways more or less abused passenger.
The United States Sub-Treasury, at
Wall and Nassau streets, makes, and
has made il Il practice for years, of
exchanging minor coin for United
States money of large denomination,
and it has many regular customers
who are so served.
There are Il number Of curious
things about cents rs they come to
the Sub-Treasury. In the first place,
they are quite extensively counter
fcited. This may seem strange, as
the profit in II counterfeit cent is nee
cssarily small. 1t is true, however,
nevertheless, and is supposed to be
the work of Italians, who, more
largely than any other nationality,
seem to favor the imitation OF our
minor and subsidiary coin.
The Brooklyn and New Jersey ferry
companies, the elevated railroads OF
both New York and Brooklyn and the
various slot machine companies are
regular customers for the exchange OF
cents for other money at the Sub
Treasury. At times they turn in
enormous quantities, the slot COM
panies alone ranging between 1925
and 800 n day.
As might be expected, all sorts of
oddities in the way Of coin come in
with the quantity taken ins the ma

feits are scores Of mot one cents" Of

Revival at Prospect Hill.

Watchers Around the Cross" was the
subject upon which Evangelist Baten
preached last night at the tabernacle on
Prospect Hill. Several classes OF persons
watched Jesus in his agony upon the
cross. They watched from different mo-
tives. The centurion watched with stole
al Indifference. The PhariSeeS watched
that they might find something at which
to mock and jeer. The Apostle John
watched that he might find some Oppor-
tunity to render some kind service to his
master. Mary, his mother, watched out
of the intuitive sympathy of a mothers
heart One of the crucifed thieves watched
as guilty sinner needing a Savior. 1t is
remarkable that every one found what he
was watching for. The PharIsees watched
for something at which TO mock, and
they found it. 1t is true, there was dark
ness over the earth for about three hours;
it is true, there was mighty earthquake;
II is true, the massive rocks on Temple
hill and around Jerusalem were burst
asunder, but the Pharisees saw none Of
these things. They did not want to see
them. We have many such persons in
this day. Nothing under Heaven will
convince them. The Jews stood right
by the grave OF Lazarus, saw him raised
from the dead. and walked away saying,
"ShOw US a sign" Thousands OF people
today close their eyes to the
myriads of evidences of Christianity,
saying, Show us sign" They
are not looking for anything good, but
something bad; looking for bug under
the chip" There is always a bug under
the chip for the man that is hunting
bugs. Oh, you bug hunters When such
one has found bug he is more elated
than was Columbus when he discovered
America, or Cortez when he walked into
the palace of the Aztecs, or Pizarro
when he returned from Peru with the
fabulous wealth of her mines. Bug hunt

all find what they want to find. John
found new opportunities OF service. Mary
found all she sought, and the penitent
thief found in Christ great savior; Sc
every one that wants to find good and get
GOOD out OF Christianity can do so.
