CANDLES AS PERQUlSITES.
One of the Queer Oficial Obssrvanoes Ii
Paris.

One of the Queer Official 0bssrvanoes II
Paris.
A Paris official recently received his
annual present of ten pounds Of can
dies. The man thus favored Is the po-
lice commissary Of the district Of Saint
German l'Auxerrois and he receives his
box of candles from the chamber Of no
taries.
The origin of this observance dates a
long way back. 1t arose out of dis
pute between the police commissary Of
the Chatelet and the corporation Of
notaries.
The duty Of the former was to hold a
lighted candle at the door of the cham
Der as the legal gentlemen were enter
ing it, and on one occasion the commits
sary, with the spirit which animates
many men in Office, even in our own
great country, complained that 1t was
unfair for the expense of the candles to
fall upon him, contending that he ought
rather to receive an indemnity for his
services.
He gained his point, and from that
time forward the commissary was given
three hundred pounds Of wax candles
annually. In the course Of time the
three hundred pounds Of wax melted
away and dwindled, till in the present
day the ancient custom has come down
to the gift Of ten-pound box Of con-
posite candles.

Those people who have been con-
signing the Peoples party to the
tomb for so long would learn wis
dom by noting what Chairman Car
ter of the Republican National
Committee enunciated at one Of
those big New York dinners re-
Gently. As reported by the Asso-
ciated press he said that he did not
think it wise for the Republicans to
be too confident. Although it was
apparent that victory was in the air,
he said there were reasons why 1t
was not we'll to be optimistic to a
degree Of carelessness. He thought
the grave questions before the
country might well cause the Repub-
licanS to pause and reflect: The
president had placed himself square
ly in favor Of retiring the credit
money of the country. 1t was pos
Sible the financial centers of the
county agreed with him. There was
no doubt course of that kind, il
pursued, would make Populistic
votes. Mr.. Carter called attention
to what he styled the remarkable
growth of the Popuist vote. He
said it had increased 24O per cent
during the past three years. This
great growth had not been develop
ed in the national legislature, as
there were less Populists in the
house than in the 52nd congress, but
the vote in the different elections
showed Populistic increase, which
it was well for the Republicans to
to take into consideration.

japanese manufacturers are landing
bicycles in San Francisco, warranted
to be first class in every particular, at
sl2 apiece. There is pointer for the
next tariff law to look after.-Arkan.
saS City Traveller.
oh, certainly By all means put a
protective (?) tariff on bicycles suffi-
Client to enable the manufacturers in
this civilized country to continue tc
rob the civilized consumer to the tune
of from 400 to 500 per cent profit on
every wheel sold. tits generally con-
coded that the cost of manufacturing
a 500 bicycle in this country does not
exceed 80. Does any one suppose
that the mechanics who build the
machines, and whose labor gives
them their real value, are allowed to
have share in this fabulous profit?
Not by any means. But it would be
a disgrace to allow the heather Japs
to bring bicycles here and sell them
within the reach of poor people. So
let's be consistent with ourselves and
stick on the tariff "for the protection
of the poor lab6ring man." Ye gods!
-PopulisS Exchange.
Japanis free silver country and
is manufacturing for export. The
SO she receives for the bicycle
amounts to about s24 in Japan.
She can sell her goods cheaper on a
gold basis but has to pay more for
foreign goods. But suppose she
does not buy any foreign goods?
You may venture she will buy as few
as possible. Is not that as good as
a protective tariff? Suppose the
United States tried this plan.
What a glorious protection we
would have. And how long would
Great Britain and Germany stand
or with these odds against them?
They would not give up their vast
market in this country. They

NATURES FREAKS.
The Devils Pump In California and No
6wesney's Gun In Ireland.

One Of the greatest combinations OF
patural and artificial curiosities on the
coast Of California is called the Devils
Pump. The pholas, or shell miners,
species Of mollusk which excavate i'm
mense caverns in &e very hardest
stone, have tunneled the entire coast
In the vicinity Of the pump. Water
PUSHES into these caverns with each
succeeding tide flow, and in this partic-
ular case finds vent through cylindrl-
cal opening some distance from the
waters edge. 1t Is estimated that this
hole, which connects with the sea cav
ern, is seventy-fve to one hundred feet
In depth. Every time the tide PUSHES
into the cavern beneath, the pump"
throws water to the height Of a full one
hundred feet above the mouth Of the
opening. The Indians formerly called
1t by q name which signihed fairy
water gum" but the irreverent white
men have given 1t the title Of the "Dev-
Us Pump" and by that name It will be
probably known TO future generations
There Is similar curiosity near Horn
Head, county Donegal, Ireland, where
q hole In the rocks Is called "McSween-
eys Gun" Like the California oddly,
it Is on the seacoast, and has connec-
tons with submarine cavern. When
the north wind blows and the sea Is at
half food, )" the wind and waves enter
the cavern and send up immense coll
umns Of water through the gun. {"
Travellers who have visited Horn Head
and vicinity say that each charge Of
water sent from the gun" is accompa-
MED BY an explosion that can be heard

A late conversation between q num-
Der Of women CHANGED to fall upon the

ing their juniors, says the New York
Times. II was remarked that these
marriages were almost invariably hap.
py ones One Of the group ventured
the opinion that the reason for this lay
in the wisdom gained with years by the
wife, and In the knowledge thus at
tanned as to how to manage her hus-
band. Another thought that q man
always wanted his wife TO mother
him, and was best satisfied when she
did, while she was naturally satisfied
by his satisfaction. A third was sure
that to take care Of others was wom-
ans true vocation, and the secret desire
Of her heart, and that this calling was
most entirely entered upon when the
selfshness OF extreme youth was past,
and when the husband was younger
than herself. Whatever the cause, the
fact remains that Of all these matches,
which do seem to be made in heaven,
almost all make little heaven here be-
low.
One Of the takers contributed her
quota to the stories Of remarkable diff
ferences in years between man and
wife. A one-time bishop Of Maryland,
she said, married a woman who had
been one Of his mothers bridesmaids,
and who had made his own christening
rope. He was so devotedly attached to
her that when she died from extreme
old age he mourned her memory, with
no thought Of filing her place, all the
rest Of his life.
