ROUGH ON THE CYCLIST.

An elaborate practical joke has been
played on Belgian oyclist. While
taking his usual afternoon ride along
tho central boulevard of Brussels be en-
tered one of the cafes for some refresh
ments, leaving his machine against a
lamp post, says an exchange.
A Joker seated outside a terrace
pinned his trou 3ers in the orthodox
cyclists style. as if he were genuine
bicyclist, and, taking hold of the ma
chine as if he had just dismounted.
halted one of those long white bloused
street commissioners to be met with at
nearly every street corner in Brussels.
"My man, just you look after my
bicycle and see that no one takes it
during my absence, for there are so
many bicycle thieves about the city
you cannot be too careful, so keep
sharp lookout and here's franc for
your trouble - The joker then crossed
the road, taking up his post at cafe
opposite to enjoy the result of the
francs investment. Out came the I'M
suspecing victim and taking the ma
chine was about to start.
"Hold, there, old chappie, we know
your measure, so off with you," said
the white bloused one, at the same
time gently forcing the astonished
cyclist back.
At first he thought the man was
drunk, and expostulated quietly with
him, but all to no purpose. the trusty
guardian simply replying that "he
knew what he was about" Finding
persuasion useless. Mr. Y lost his
temper, and the discussion soon grew to
angry menaces on both sides.
Meanwhile a large crowd had as
sembled, highly amused at the pros
poets of a pugilistic encounter. The
appearance of policeman put stop
to any lighting, and he took both the
belligerents to the station, escorted by
an immense crowd of spectators.
The unfortunate bicyclist soon recol-
lected that he had in his pocket his
license, on which was recorded the
number of his machine. In considera-
ton of this testimony the machine was
handed over to the rightful owner.

Importance of the Exchange Reader.


The man who reads the exchanges is
very important man, and, let me say,
too, he is pretty highly paid man. He
has to read, we will say, 5000 papers
regularly All the newspapers in the
country come into the Office, and he does
not do anything else. He sits at his desk
all day, and a pile of newspapers, Or,
say, cord of newspapers, is laid before
him every morning. He starts to work
and turns them over and over to see
what is in them. He has to know what
it is that should be taken from them
and put into his paper. What is the in
teresting story? 1t requires Judgment to
know this. 1t requires knowledge and
experience as well as talent. 1t also re-
quires a sense of humor, because there
are a great many things that are really
important that may not seem so at the
first glance, and the newspaper reader
has got to judge about that. He must
always be on hand and spend great
many hours at his desk, and he is pretty
tired when he gets through with his
day task. 1t is hard duty, but he has
lots of amusement, and, as I said, he is
very well paid. So he is happy. -Charles
A Dana in McClure's Magazine

THE COLLlE'S INTELLIGENCE.

A collie in Scotland. whom l know
we'll, is in the habit of fetching from
his masters room cap, slippers, keys,
or any thing he is sent for, One day,
sent on the usual errand. he did not
reappear His master followed and
found that the door of the bedroom
had been blown to and that the dog
was prisoner Some days later he
was again told to fetch something, and,
as the wind was high, his master, after
a few minutes delay, followed him.
He found him in the act of fixing the
door firmly back with the door mat,
which he had rolled up for that pur-
pose, and having taken this precaution
the prudent animal proceeded to look
for the slippers. This same collie.
when walking with me, ran on in front
and rang the gate bell of the house to
which was going. so that had not to
wait when l arrived there. London

LAFAYETTE'S GRAVE.
1t Is In Old Paris, and a Silken American

Flag Always Floats Over 1t.
"While in Paris short while ago."
said traveller recently, cit occurred to
me that it was a fitting act to make a
pilgrimage to the tomb of that illus
trious Frenchman, dear to the hearts of
all American patriots, Marquis de La
fayette. l asked a number of people be-
fore l could find any one to enlighten
me as to the spot, but after repeated in
quiry ascertained its location. The grave
is situated III old Paris, within the
grounds of convent that the ancestors
of Lafayette founded, and where repose
the remains of many of the French no.
bility. The first thing that attracted my
attention i'll connection with the hero's
tomb was that above it fioated silken
flag bearing the stars and stripes.
''It seems that a good many years ago
an American gentleman left in his will
a sum of money to be used for the spe-
cial purpose of keeping an American
flag forever flying above the grave of
Lafayette. 1t has done so, without in
Permission, from the day the will went
into effect. and whenever, through the
wear of the elements, one flag becomes
unserviceable q new one straightway
takes its place. Through untold centuries

early struggles for liberty, had his be-
neficent aid will wave above his ashes.

on phonetic spelling. Thus "Pruieste
is not even dimly suggestive OF Fort
Chester, but the blind reader who
speakn "Prnieste' out and knows that
there is an Italian colony at Port
Chester would promptly send the letter
there. A missive from Italy bearing
that superscription was actually re-
ceived at the New York postoffice re-
Gently and was dispatched to its des-
tination.
This Italian directory solves some
apparently hopeless puzzles. If let
er is received for Dominica Spagadello,
100 Front street, North America, it
is sent at once to Wilmington, Del, as
the directory shows that only in that
city is 100 Front street. house IN

been simply $50 Front street the let
ter would have gone to Newport, Ky. !;
if 176 Front street, to Cincinnati; II

20S Front street, to Wilmington, NJ
Y, and SO on.
Naturally. the New York city di-
rectory is frequently consulted. Mr.
Stone has it interleaved with white
paper, ON which is written the new
address of every citizen who sends
word to the postoffice of his removal.
This directory is bound in three vol
umes. This is for various reasons. 1t
avoids undue bulkiness and enables
three men to use the work at the same
time. As there are about 100 notices
of removal received daily. it is no trifi-
ing task to enter them. Each of these
three men confines himself to his par
ticular volume. and he acquires won
derful skill in turning to the right
place. Any one else in searching for

dred pages of it on the first trial, but
these experts have such deft fingers
that they at once turn extremely neal
to the right page.

A FREAK OF NATURE.
The Navel Orange and How 1t Came to
This Country.


The first navel orange was doubtless
a freak or "sport," as horticulturists
say. TO make such fruit by artifice
would be impossible. 1t is abnormal
even in the bud. The navel shows III the
bud as early as the latter can be ex-
amined under the microscope. 1t may
even be traced back to the flower, which
is double-though that word does not
express the idea very well, each blossom
having a secondary blossom within it,
In the developed fruit the navel is itself
a secondary orange, in some specimens
having distinct skin surrounding it.
The two story orange is no novelty.
A book on horticulture published in
1912 gives picture of the navel orange
and calls it ''pomum Adami fetum."
This is the earliest reference known
The blossoms rarely have any pollen, and
the fruit is usually, though not always,
seedless The variety is reproduced by
budding Where it originated is not
known with certainty, but it was prob
ably in southern Asia. Thence it was
brought to the region of the Mediterra-
mean and eventually diffused over the
world A lady who had travelled in
Brazil told Mr. Saunders, chief gardener
of the department of agriculture, about
the orange, which she had seen in that
country Acting on this information,
Mr.. Saunders told Star reporter that
he sent to Bahia and secured dozen
young budded trees. These reached the
United States in 1870, being the first
navel orange trees known here.
From these trees others were propa-
gated One of the first batch thus OBJ
tanned is now in the orange house of the
department of agriculture. In 1878 two
of the trees were sent to Mrs. l.. @. lib
bets of Riverside, Cal. AT the same time
others were sent to Florida But those
planted in California fruited more quick
ly and were the first to attract attention.
1t soon became evident that the climate
of that state was better suited to the
cultivation of this variety In Florida it
is not sufficiently productive. O., does
not bear freely enough to be profitable.
Nevertheless the finest navel oranges
come from Florida, though they are not
SO handsome as those from California.

LOSSES FROM LIGHTNING.

The Government Weather Bureau is
to be commended on it's Investigations
into the extent of damage from light
ming strokes and the means of protect
ing life and property from this destruc-
tive agency. A report just issued by
the bureau brings the statistics of the
question up to the end of 1894. In
that year 1856 presons were killed by
lightning in the United States and 351
severely injured. In the few years
covered by the bureaus reports the
fatalities have been increasing. In
1898 the number of deaths from light
ming was 200; in 1899, 251; in 1891.
204; and about 1870 in 1890. In 1894,
26S barns, Sc churches and 261 dwell
ings and number of oil tanks, eleva-
tors, ETC., were struck by lightning and
damaged or destroyed. 1t appears that
the risk is about five times greater in
the country than in the city. Ordi-
nary dwelling houses in the cities need
little protection. but the bureaus ex-
perts are of the opinion that all barns
and exposed buildings should have
lightning rods. Sheets of iron are as
good or better for this purpose than
rods of iron or copper. 1t appears that
the Southeastern or Southern States
are the most frequently visited by
thunder storms. the area of maximum
frequency being about Louisiana;
while the area of least frequency is on
the New England coast. The most
dangerous places for persons during a
storm are stated by the reports to be
under trees, in the doorways of barns,
close to cattle and horses, and by Chin
neys and fireplaces Anyone who keeps
note OF the location Of people killed by
lightning will have observed that the
places named above are the most dan
gerous and will embrace probably three.
fourths of the fatalities. AS an agency
of destruction the statistics show that
lightning is not SO seriously to be con-
sidered as it is; but the dread Of 1t is
nevertheless SO great and acute among
mankind as to make study Of the
ways to avoid danger by electricians of

Mariposa Miner: One of the most
important mining transfers recorded
here since last fall is that of the Red
Banks property, formerly owned by the
Cathey Brothers. 1t recently passed
into the hands of the Red Banks Min
ing Company, Of which A. Wurten-
weller is the moving spirit. and N. @.
Ray, formerly of the MERGED Gold
Mining Company. is chief engineer.
The property is situated about five
miles southeast of Coultelville. on the
MERGED river. 1t is true fissure vein.
as are all of the famous mother lode,
the same general formation of slate
and porphyry exist here. The owners
of this valuable property are fortunate
in having it so conveniently situated
to the river as to enable them to make
use of the great water power direct,
without generating electricity for trans
mission any great distance, as must
necessarily be the case with many pro-
perties about to be opened up in this
immediate vicinity. There is already
upwards of 5000 feet of development
work done on the property, SO the ele-
ment of chance. usually taken in the
purchase of mine, is not present IN
this instance to any appreciate extent.
Fresno Republican: Parties inter
ested in the asbestos business have re-
Gently been in this country examining
the deposits of that mineral with a
view of opening the mines. Tt is not
yet known what will be done. There
are two valuable deposits of this miner
al within thirty-five miles of this city.
One is ON Dry Greek. about six miles
Fine Gold, in MADEIRA county. Neither
deposit has been worked, but there
is enough of the mineral in sight to
render it certain that the mines would
prove we'll nigh exhaustless. The
company which has been making in
quiries is engaged in mining asbestos
in San Diego county. At their mines
at that place they pay So ton fol
hauling by team to the railroad. The
mine in MADEIRA county lies about
seventeen miles from the railroad al
Pollasky. The hauling would moi
cost more than So per ton. This WOULD
be saving of no small figure, com.
pared with the San Diego mines. The
company would expect to use no LEST
than 1000 tons of the raw material pei
month. The hauling alone would put
in circulation not less than $1,000 pei
month, and would furnish employment
to a dozen or more big teams.
Selma Enterprise: From Peach

finding of nugget, or boulder rather
of pure silver. such as there has beer

about half ton, and its value is any

from, and they desired to get the best
location for themselves befroe letting
