Wood PaVeDlcntS.

The aut hCrities CT Berlin, says n writ
er in Hardwood, have concluded, after
a period Of Investigations and tests COW
ering Il period of ID years or more, to
maintain the wood pavement where
there are horse car lines and have al
ready paved with wood some $1,000
square meters, using for the purpose
nearly $500, 600 blocks, or 80 blocks to
the square meter. The tests comprised
~ streets, squares and bridges, and OF
the woods used 5000 square meters
were paved with German pine, 10, 900
with Swedish pine and about the same
quantity with beach, 10, 600 with Amer
lean yellow pine and a smaller surface
with American cypress. The wool pave
ment, it is also stated, has proved su
perior to asphalt in Paris, except for
the boulevards and pleasure drives, and,
as i'll Berlin, is preferred on streets sub
ject to great wagon traffic. The greater
part Of the wood used for paving by the
Partisan authorities is spruce from the
department. of Landes, some foreign
woods being also used, among which is
one from Anam called ciem, SO heavy as
to weigh 200 Kilograms per cubic me-
ter, or about double the weight of red
gum The Australian jarrah has also
been tried, and species Of rubber tree,
the wood of which weighs @bout l, 100
kilograms per cubic meter, and kari

Suunatra Tobacco.

E. Spencer Bates, United States con-
sui at Singapore, is making an effort to
introduce the cultivation of Sumatra to-
bacco into the United States, in view OF
the high price it commands and it's SUI
periority for wrappers. He says that
this tobacco is suitable for growing in
lower California and on the southern
coast of the United States. Finding 1T
impossible to obtain seed through Off
cial channels, owing to the reluctance
of the Dutch planters, he has procured
a supply from private sources and will
forward it to the agricultural depart
ment. Post.

An italian Festival.

Toward midday the crowd attains its
largest proportions; then the suspension
of the church services, hunger and
fatigue help to lessen its number.
Groups form under the trees and picnic;
others surround the 'friggitorl" who
are busy frying chickens, fish, sweet
breads, rice balls and many other COM
pounds in the boiling oil of their great
copper pans. In the wineshops there is
much drinking going on, intermixec
with laughing, jestlng, fool1ng, quarrel
ing, the townsfolk numerically Jeer-
ing at the country people, some Of whom
laugh with and at their tormentors;
while others preserve sulky silence
The Republicans begin to sing choruses
which are professions of their political
faith, to which the socialist group re-
plies with gibes, also sung in chorus.
The simple melody once united to the
stornello, artless outpouring OF lovers
joys and sorrows, sung at happy har-
vests and merry vintages and by the Sc
rene voices of peasant maldens at work
in quiet fields, is degraded and welded
to rhymed doggerel, spiced with insult
and blasphemy.
On the steep banks under the thick
lick shade many are asleep The coun-
try women, with their smooth, closely
braided heads lying on their white ker-
chiefs, rest like dreaming saints III the
sleep Of the just. In other patches OF
shade other women are lying with di-
sheveled hair and flushed faces. In all
the vulgar boldness Of holiday makers
from the town they are sleeping off the
double effects Of the sun and wine. -

EVILS OF THE DROUGHT.

Along the river front at Pittsburgh,
Pa, is is freely predicted that there
will be no rise in the river this fall,
and the 10000, 900 bushels of coal now
lying in the harbor cannot be moved
until next spring when the annual
freshet will float it out. There is still
less than a foot of water in the Ohio
river, and the great artery of traffic
is like a stagnant mill pond. Naviga-
ton, except in skiffs and fiat boats,
has been entirely suspended and
scores of steamboats, are settling In
the mud 1t is stated that the earth
is perfectly dry to a depth of Is feet.
Owing to the baked condition of the
ground many river men do not ex-
pect rise this year. Along that
portion of the valley where there is
no railroad, the loss to farmers has
| been enormous.
The worst drought is in the Allie
ghany mountains, where old springs
have dried up. Water is sold by the
| barrel in Altoona. The Pennsylvania
railroad is running special water
trains, sending out tank carts from
Huntington In some places the farm
ers continue to kill their cattle, as it
is impossible to get water for the
stock In Huntington and Centre
counties, forest fires have been very
destructive. Thousands of dollars
worth of timber sawmills have been
destroyed. The long absence Of rain
has made everything like finder, and
fires have been burning in the noun
tains several weeks. Dozens of towns
and cities are suffering from epidem-
les of typhoid fever and diphtheria,
and the amount of sickness traceable
directly to bad water is appalling.

Musical Sand.

Mr. Carus Wilson found that fine sand
from Studland bay, which was sOnorous
on the beach, but mute when carried
home in box, gave out shrlll note
when struck in teacup. The glazed
sides Of the cup increased the intensity
of vibration of the sand by increasing
the number Of polished surfaces in con-
tact, and this was proved by putting the
same sand in various vessels with rough
interiors, and by lining the glazed and
polished vessels with silk, when it be-
came mute again. Sand of the E1gg
type, possessing the physical conditions
necessary for the production of music
in great perfection, are musical in re-
ceptacles of almost any kind or form.
The smallest quantity of musical sand
from which MI. Wilson got a true note
was thimbleful of Eigg sand. Less
perfect musical sand, such as that of
Studland bay, was found to be usually
mute, except in stu Or in vessels of
hard, glazed interiors and of certain
definite FORM Some "sulky' 'Iands not
only needed vessels Of hard, glazed in
teriors and of definite form, but also a
box or small pedestal of wood-a coax
er''-on which the vessel had to be
placed before the notes became audible.
A "sulky" sand could be rendered far
more musical by being sifted, washed
and boiled, giving out notes, after this
treatment, without the aid of the COAX
en- Temple Bar.

REAL PIRATES.
They Exist In the Malay and Eastern Wa
tiers Especially.

AS q matter of fact, there are plenty
OF pirates extant, although they are sell
dom so bold III any sea as to attack a YES
sci flying a European flag. The Malay
and eastern waters swarm with SEEM
ingly commercial junks and proas,
which wear all the air of responsibility,
but are none the less on constant watch
for becalmed traders and cargo ships un-
dermanned. In the FOrmOsa channel the
outward and homeward bound passen-
gers will see apparently innocent vessels
leisurely drifting in pairs before the
wind. They drag between them huge
cable, to which. is fastened a sweepnet,
and if nothing better turn up, they have
to be content with what tunnies and
turtle they may thus catch off the Pes
catOres or the Paracels, or in those wa
tiers, the home of the cyclone, where
rises the lonely Piedra Blanca. If, how
ever, Tonkinese or Chinese rice or
ing European is near, the nets are drawn
in, the swarthy fishermen get out their
spears and muskets, and combine to
board and ravage the unlucky trader,
cutting the throats of all on board and
sinking the junk when she has been
thoroughly cleaned out.
Instances have been known in which
Canton or Fuchau pirates have shipped
as seemingly harmless and respectable
voyagers on board even European steam
ships sailing out Of Chinese ports, and
have risen, when the vessel was we'll ut
sea, and massacred her captain and
crew. In such a case one hears of it, for
European blood is an expensive liquid
to spill in the east, but no mention ever
comes to public ears Of the hundreds OF
craft sailed and owned by natives, which
year by year, in the seas east of Singa-
pore, fall victims to the treacherous pl-
rate of the Malay peninsula, or Celebes
or Javan archipelago.
A we'll manned merchant ship, with
a maxim gun Oh board, would be fairly
safe, for they can only attack in their
boats, and any quick firing cannon of the
modern type would be more than they
could comfortably face. A steamer, too,
as long as her engines keep going, is per-
fectly secure, for their best chance is III
those dead Gains which come upon the
eastern seas when the trader is helpless
" fixed, while the "water rats" can
bring their dhow or proa close up with
long sweeps and finish off the rest III
their boats. London Telegraph.

4 WORD TO VERMONT HORSE
BREEDERS.

The possibility of securing a desir
able market for fine carriage and sad
die horses, in spite of a low price for
horsefiesh in general, has already been
referred to at length, and attention
has been further directed to the pos
sibilities in this direction by the ac-
ton of representatives of the war de-
partment who have been seeking for
horses for the cavalry in Vermont
towns.
Vermont's enviable reputation FOR
fine horses was built by the produc-
ton of a class of horses admirably
adapted for the road on account of
their size, fine mettle and powers of
endurance qualities which are as
we'll adapted TO the saddle as to the
road; and if Vermont horsebreeders
bear these facts in mind and act ac-
cordingly, they will seldom fail to
find market for their animals. Rid :
ing on horseback is rapidly increasing
in popular favor in all parts of the
country, and from this time on there
is certain to be an active demand for
| good saddle horses out of the army as
we'll as in it. Moreover there will be
a permanent call for fine carriage
| horses. ... U|
The bicycle, the electric car and the
| horseless carriage may come, but men
of means in the large cities and AT
country seats will continue to demand
carriage horses, and Vermont breed
ers can supply this demand to no small
degree, if they see fit to do so. Ii

Not Lucky With Their Names.

There are in France two brothers with
the surname of Assassin, who recently
obtained the necessary permission from
the high functionary called keeper of
the seals to change their name to one
less offensive. After mature reflection
they decided to change their name to
Berge Now that it is too late to alter
1t they have discovered, to their intense
annoyance, that their new name hap
pens, by a singular coincidence, to be
that Of the chief assistant to M. Deibler,
the public executioner, who will in all
probability succeed to M. Deibler's
erewsome business.

verdict last Friday OF guilty of fell

indictment for murder.

TREASURY DEFICIT.
Expected 1t Will Foot Up $4O,OOO,OOO at
the End of the Year.

the End of the Year.
WASHINGTON, April 23.-The decision
Of the supreme court IN the income tax
case necessitates revision of the es.
Inmates Of the government for the fiscal
year ending June 30, and from the best
data obtainable, it is believed that the
deficit for the year will amount to $780,
100000. The amount of the deficit to
date is S47 271 ,257 with indications Of a
further increase before the close Of
the present month, but the income
tax receipts, 1t is expected will materi-
ally cut down this amount during the
remaiding 10 weeks Of the fiscal year.
Receipts from customs and internal rev.
not at the pace expected, and with fully
one-half of the anticipated receipts
from the income tax cut off. it is doubt
full if the close of the year shows a
deficit less than $40,0O0,00O. AS has
been the case for some years, the ex-
penditure on account OF pensions is
more than third of the entire expendi-
times during the last two years, the in
exorable acquisitions of the secretary Of
of the interior on pension account has
caused some apprehension among the
officials that the time might come when
they could not be honored with the old
time promptness. Already this month,
more than 81, 100000 has been paid to
pensioners, and since July 1 nearly
$117, 500, 600 has been paid on the pen
| sion account.

Their Condition. Is Wretched Owing to
Yellow Fever and Fatigue.
NEW YORK, April 23.-The Ward
line steamer Niagara has arrived from
Cienfugos and Santiago, Cuba. It was
learned from one Of the passengers that
a very lively state of things existed at
the seat of war. The insurgents had a
following Of 10000 men, 5000 of>whom
were well armed. Many encounters
have already taken place in which the
government troops had been worsted.
The officials made very light of these
engagements, the passenger said, and
claimed victory wherever they had
the slightest encounter with the in
surgents. The Spanish troops lately
arrived from Spain were said to be in a
wretched state, having suffered greatly
from yellow fever and from fatigue in
pursuing small bodies of the insurgent
troops over the mountains.
