MUST GO LONE BEUER.u
We Build and Furnish Our Homes to Sur
pass Our Neighbours.


Perhaps the most common revelation
i'll the building of new houses is that
nearly universal desire to excel our
contemporaries-a desire doubtless i'm
planted for some wise purpose but
which often leads TO most extraordinary
results, for the reason that many of our
fellow mortals are considerably off the
track, and when we surpass them in
any direction we only go still farther
astray. Thus, when a man has more
money to spend than his neighbor he
examines his neighbor S house and pro-
ceeds to build ono Just like it-only
more so.
His nei2hhor' S rooms are 10 feet
high. He will have his l2 or IA, build
three stories instead of two and cover
them with pretentious roof. If his
neighbor has Il four sided cupola sur
mounted by plain pyramid, no will
have an eight sided or circular tower,
with covering. for which there is no
adequate word of description, mathe-
NAUTICAL or otherwise. His 'neighbor' S
house is wood. His shall be Of brick,
Roman brick, terra Gotta, granite or
polished marble, separately or III COM
bination.
His neighbor and his neighbor's wife
have common glass, pine finish, ingram
carpets and u cherry table. He Will have
oak. walnut, mahogany, plate glass,
brussels and velvet, and !, ..e-samd
other things. not because they are moIe
suitable or beautiful-they may or they
may not be, that question does not enter
into his calculations-but because they
cost more, because, in certain directions,
they surpass his neighbor 's-very likely
surpass them i'll the wrong direction. -

PEARLS FOUND IN SCOTIA.
Ono From Aberdeenshiro Said to Form
Ono of tho Queens jewels.

One OF tho queens jewels.
Ono is so much accustomed to associ
alto pearls with tho eastern and gcsd

world that the discovery of pearls III
Scotland and gold in Wales seems some
what opposed to the order of things.
That gold exists in Wales is of course
quito recent discovery, and the small
and Improbable quantities found have
now resulted in the abandonment of the
mining operations commenced by Rich
| ard Morgan.
But the pearls Of Scotland have quito
different history. For centuries pearls
have been found in the river Ythan, i'll
Aberdeenshire, and only last year an
Aberdeen man made some notable hauls,
which he disposed Of to jewelers. Of the
northern towns. 1t was recently stated
in n London paper that % pearl taken
from the river Ythan is believed to
form ono of the queens crown jewels.
1t is to be hoped that the belief is we'll
founded, for i'll that case it may be
reasonably claimed that the precious
stone i'll question is the only one con-
tributed by tho British islands, o
thouNbo CdiCuiattu " RTutily our Ua-
tional pride, for Scotland might be
worse represented than by pearl III
the national regalia.
A story is told of an Aberdeenshire
farmer who found n very largo and
perfect pearl in the shell of mussel
taken from the Ythan. Happening to
visit London some timo afterward, he
displayed his treasure to % west end
jewelcr, who, struck with tho size and
beauty Of the gem, asked the price. The
farmer demanded what possibly he re-
garded as big price-viz, e100. Now,
this was in the days when Scotland had
her own coinage, and pound (Scots)
was equivalent to Is. Cd, SO that the
el00 he asked would only have repre-
scented eS Is. Sd. English money.
His surprise and delight may be i'm
agined therefore. when he received
for his pearl 600. 1t is doubtful.
however, whether the English jeweler
would have shared these feelings had he
known the exact meaning of tho "hun-
ner pun" demanded by the owner of
the pearl. However, he had no occasion
TO complain, for he is said to have sold
the gem subsequently at large profit.

Gamer Market.

From, Engineering and Mining Journal.
The market has not been very active,
but the improvement has been fully main
tanned. That transactions have not been
very numerous is accounted Tor by
the fact that the producing companies
are all more or less well sold ahead ana
therefore unwilling to enter into further
contracts except at considerably hlGh'i
prices. which however. the manufactuf-
ers are not yet willing to pay ana Will
not be until they receive orders on a
larger scale than has far been the
case. There is, however, a decided I'M
provement in the manufacturing line and
indications all point toward further de-
velopment in that direction.
Orders from abroad show a material
falling off, which is not surprising. mas
much as large quantities OF copper were

he Venezuela Dispute wiII BE Thing
of the Past,

New York. Feb. PA special to a To-
cal paper says: The most important
announcement in the opening days pro-
ceedings in parliament was made by
Lord Salisbury respecting Venezuelan
affairs with his explicit statement that
direct negotiations with Venezuela
would soon be resumed and that the
great obstacle to the settlement of the
question would be removed thereby. If
the Venezuelan passage in the queen 5
speech lacked defniteness, this defect
was relnedied by the prime minister
when he made the satisfactory declara-
ton, which was received with as much
enthusiasm as is ever shown in the
house of lords.
A. ]. Balfour. in the house of com
mons. also took pains to deny that
there was the slightest intention 10
violate the substance of the Monroe
doctrine and reaffirmed his hope that
some permanent system of arbitrating
disputes with America would be de-
vised The opinion in the lobbies Is
general that the Venezuelan question
has virtually been settled. all that re-
NAMED being a matter of detail.
London, Feb. 12.-It is announced on
authority that following the advice OF
the United States, Venezuela has prac-
tically decided to send representative
to London with power to open direct
negotiations with the government oil
Great Britain for settlement or the
boundary dispute.

by the defects in the boiler that are al

was sustained and the plaintin was
given Sc days in which to file an amend

Thomas Salesman, the complainant
in the other case, was injured on the
hill line of the Montana Union on June
80, 1898. He was riding on the front
car of an empty ore train that was
backing up the hill and at the Haggln
spur the car on which he was riding
left the track through an accumulation
of ice between the rails. He was thrown
forward under the wheels and had MS

not set out that the accident resulted
from a condition of the track for when
