There is another queer tale about this
aerial ocean. ~ merchant of Bristol
it is said, set sail with his cargo for
ireland. Some time after, while his
family We're at supper, Il knife,sudden-
IY fell i'm, through a window, on the ta-
bic. When the merchant returned and
saw the knife, he declared il to be his
own, and said that on such u day, at
such an hour, while sailing in an uu-
known part of the sea, he dropped the
knife oycrboard and the day and the
hour were found to be exactly the time
when it fell through the window" All
Of which was once implicitly believed
by many, and regarded as incontro-
Vertible proof of the existence of a sea
above the sky. One is at a loss to con-
lecture how that unknown part of the
sea- connected with the rest of it. A
physical geography showing this would
be no small curiosity.

A TEN-DOLLAR BILL
Comes Back in II Letter After IL Disnp-
pearancc of Half Century.

peilrnncc OF Half Century.
Fifty years ago e. NJ. Hart of Ro-
mines Mills, w. Va, had a boy named
win Jones living with him. One day
Hart sent Jones on an errand, giving
him $50 bill. When the boy brought
the change back it was $40 short. The
boy declared it was all the merchant
had given him, while Hart and the
merchant accused the boy of theft.
Jones was whipped and sent away.
The other day Mr. Hart received this
letter:
Beverly. w, Va, February 25, 1897.
Mr. Hart, Romine's Mills, w. Va:
Dear Sir-About fifty years ago you
had boy named Jones working for
you who lost $40 bill. found it and
enclose the same to you"
There was no signature to the letter
and the bill was there as the writer
said. Jones has been dead many years,
and Mr.. Hart is greatly aggrieved that
he was responsible for an injustice to
the boy, even so long ago.

The proper degree of formality OBJ
served at the White House. SO far as
the officials are concerned, is some
times in contrast with the procedure
in earlier days. In recently published
recollections of a long life, the author
describes a scene he witnessed at the
White House in President Van Buren's
time. In honor of the inauguration, a
cheese had been sent to the new chief
magistrate. 1t was 1.-The size of a large,
round table" Pieces of it, together
with crackers, were handed round to
persons assembled. THE whole house
and almost the whole city was redolent
Of cheese, fragments of it lying every
where on the streets" All this may
seem to have brought the President
nearer the people, but the country can
to-day quite appropriately dispense
with that form of paternalism.

The United States consul at Catania,
Sicily, reports the cost Of labor in
lemon handling in Sicily (reduced to
United States money! as follows:
Overseer, per day, SO to 63c; expert
enced who select the fruit, Bic;
wrappers Tin tissue paper, 19c; girls
who clean lemons (pick out lice with
sticks and brushes), lac; girls who do
other various kinds Of labor, Ice. All
these are with the exception OF the
overseer) women and girls, who have
to feed and clothe themselves out of
these scanty wages. They live upon
a "panuzza" (small loaf of bread three
times a day with a little fruit, a plate
of maccaroni and perhaps a glass of
cheap wine. They commence work
early in the morning Cat this season
before daybreak). do not eat anything
until 10 or IL o'clock. when they res,
a few moments and eat their bread.
The men who make and nail up the
boxes receive 45c per day, and those
who pick the fruit from the trees 27c.
Another expense is transportation of
the fruit to the city, depending upon
the distance. Lemons are bought by
the thousand, counting 1910 to the
thousand. The price paid for the
September to December crop runs from
$2.16 to $a.52 per thousand. The jan
uary to May crop runs from o0c to
SIPS, although extra choice fruit OF
this crop which will bear shipping
from England to the United States
brings as high as $3.50 per thousand
The large lemons known as 'spata
FORA" which are yellow in February
and March. bring $3.50 to $3.50 and
even as high as $3.50 to 1920 and even
higher, per thousand.
