A FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLAR
"PEBBLE. 1.-THE largest block of stone
ever quarried is probably the one just
obtained at Fourmies, Belgium, by q
civil engineer named Ladtte. This
block measures about 10000 cubic feet,
and its weight is over 1900, 600 pounds,
or $500 tons. AS it stands now in the
quarry this "pebble" is worth about
$1,000. After 1t has been cut up it
will represent considerably larger
sum, and is sure to furnish work for
about 40 stonecutters for the next three
months. 1t was quarried by means of
hand-saw worked by 20 horse power
engine, and was broken from the solid
rock by charge Of 112 pounds of pow
der, which was allowed to drop into
the crack made by the saw. 1t is stated
that this block of stone now holds the
record, as far as size and weight are
concerned, and will probably continue
to hold it for some time to come.

INC suh-Trea.urr Mntter.

The News and Courier should read the
Washington dispatches. Having done 50
1t would see no reason to ask Savannah
ury. As We understand it Charleston
never had the least chance Of getting such
an institution.
II we have read the News and Courier
correctly the only respect in which Char
lesion claims superiority TO Savan-
nah is in the matter of money. We don't
know how much money Charleston has.
or how much business she does with what
she has. If she had a clearing house we
might be better informed on that point.
But. however much money Charleston
has It is clear she hadn't enough to keep
the sub-treasury which she had. In our
dispatches the Secretary of the Treasury
is quoted as saying that the reason the
sub-treasury was closed at Charleston
was that there was not sufficient business
for it to justify the expene of maintain
ing It. That being the case it seems to
us that it would have been only fair to
Savannah If Charleston had given her
a clear field in which to make a fight for
a sub-treasury.
Yes. Secretary Carlisle has reported
unfavorably on Representative Testers
bill to establish a sub-treasury at Savan-
nah. but in doing so he also reported
against any bill that might be introduced
providing for a sub-treasury at Charles
ton.
We do not say that Charleston has les
sened savannah's chances by making
claim for a sub-treasury. because we do
not know what Mr.. Carlisle's report would
have been had Charleston made no claim,
but we are inclined to think if there had
been no claim from Charleston, Mr.. Car
Isle might have regarded Savannah's ap-
plication with more favor.
We have not seen any statement any
where that there is the least prospect OF
Charleston getting sub-treasury. or that
there has been such a prospect recently.
If there had been any such prospect we
should not have asked her to be magnani-
nous and stand aside until Savannah's
application had been passed upon.

1t was a Good Cignr.

Twill you have a cigar?'' asked one man
of another carefully selecting one of three
which he drew from his waistcoat pocket.
He handed this one to his friend, says the
New York Tribune. The other man smil-
ed and said:
Il suppose this is the kind you buy to
give away"
You might think so, but it isn't" re-
joined the one who had given the cigar
LAS a matter of fact, the one l gave YOU
is much the best of the lot. l always give
away the cigars of that brand which I
receive. It's not because they are bad
but because they are good. This is how ii
is: For several years have been buying
my cigars of dealer in Nassau street, /
always get a kind which costs $40 a hum
dred. / am not overload of the brand
but it is the best that l can get for the
money, and feel that cannot afford to
pay more for my cigars.
For some time the dealer has been very
anxious to get me to smoke a cigar that
the difference between it and the one |
get is far greater than the prices would
indicate. Some of my friends also smoke
this expensive cigar, and they assure me
1t really is exceptionally good. From time
to time the dealer gives me one of the
siXteen-kind to smoke assuring me that
If ] will only try 1T / will buy no other
The truth is, I fear he is right, so l have
resolutely resisted the temptation to smoke
some friend. That is one of them. Do
you believe now that 1 gave you the
Worst?'
The friend saw no further reason for
doubling that the cigar which he had re-
ceived was the best in the lot.
