Floating Up a River.

1t was a vexed question in 1890
whether the Pilcomayo river, which
flows for hundreds of miles from the
Bolivian Andes to the Paraguay, might
be used as a commercial highway from
Bolivia to the ocean. Our countryman,
Captain Page, settled this question SO
conclusively that no further effort to
utilize the Pilcomayo is likely to be
made, and in this work, that cost him
his life, for he died of his privations
after being hemmed in for months by
hostile Indians, he devised a plan for
steaming up river when the water was
so low that his vessel was stuck in the
mud. He was determined to go still
farther, though his little steamer,
which drew only Is inches, rested on
the river bottom, so behind the boat he
threw up an embankment of earth clear
across the channel, backed it with palm
trunks and brushwood, and before long
the water had risen couple of feet,
and the little Bolivia was able to go en-
her way four miles before she stuck
again Then another dam was built,
and this process was repeated seven
times, and with the aid of the dams the
vessel advanced about 35 miles above
the highest point she could reach at the
natural low water stage Harper s

Civil Reorganization of japan.

The reorganization of the whole fab
ric of public administration was one
of the first cares of the imperial gov
ernment after the restoration. 1t may
be said in general that the aim was to
establish an administrative system
based as far as practicable upon West
ern models. AS necessary result, the
feudal lords surrendered their fiefdoms
to the central government, and all their
administrative powers and functions,
which had hitherto been widely distrib-
uted among subordinate dignitaries and
officials.
One of the most significant changes
was the abolition of hereditary office,
and the elevation of men of compare
lively low rank to offices of the highest
dignity and influence. Such other
changes as experience showed to be
necessary were adopted from time to
time, until in 1885 the present execu-
tive system was established. 1t con-
sists of cabinet, composed Of the min
listers of the several executive depart
mentS, presided over by the prime min
lister; and of a privy council, which
acts in an advisory capacity. The en-
pire is divided into prefectures under
governors appointed by the central gov
ernment.-Toru Hoshi, in Harper

NAMES OF PEARLS.
They Are Called "Paragon," "Cher-
ry," "Piece,o ond "Dust."

| They Are Called Paragon" "Cher-
ry," "Piece," and Dust"
P9aris are named according to their
size. NThe very large are called paragon
pearls: Sxhen the size of cherry, cher
~ pearls; medium are called piece
pearls; smallest, dust pearls. The oval
and long are termed pear pearls; while
badly formed specimens ar&S known as
baroques. The value of pearls >7Saries,
of course, with the quality and general
colors but the piece, seed and dust
pearls always have a market price.
The cherry and paragon are sold on
an entirely different basis, says the
Pittsburg Dispatch. If many fine ones
are on the market at a time, they may
be had at reasonable rates. Some years
they bring almost any price. The last
two years, especially, the dealers say,
there has been great scarcity of fine
pearls, although there is no falling off
in the supply of small stuff.
When a pearl exceeds one karat in
weight it is sold separately. Under that
weight they are sold in parcels, and be-
come less valuable as they become
smaller. The smallest dust pearls col
lected average about 5000 to the troy
ounce and are at present rated at about
50 per ounce. If, on the contrary, one
| paragon, weighing an ounce (or $50
karats) was on sale, it would bring any
amount from $4,000 to 100000, ac-
| cording to quality.

THE MooDUS NOISES.
Fccu1iar Subterrauean Noises Heard
Near Mount Tom, Conn.

Those famous and mysterious dis.
turbances of the Lower Connecticut
Valley, the "Moodus noises," are being
heard again. After a silence of twelve
years they have broken forth once
more in a manner similar to that in
which they first fell upon the white
mans ear 200 years ago. The phe'
nomenon has manifested itself at East
Haddam, pretty village which stands
near Mount Tom and not far from the
village of Moodus. The mountain
which has been the scene of these sing
ular noises as far back as the Indian
traditions run is a lofty, sugar-loaf
shaped eminence near the east bank
of the Connecticut River. Those latest
manifestation aStoniShed the East
Haddam people one afternoon about 4
o'clock, when what was at first thought
to be a clap of thunder was heard.
Then came a roar like the echoes of
distant cataract, increasing and dying
away from time to time. The sounds
came directly from Mount Tom, and
the good people of East Haddam were
not long in guessing what they were.
After a period of about two hours the
noises died away, only to return again
next morning between 2 and o'clock.
AT this time there was the crashing of
heavy muff1ed thunder, mingled with
a roaring sound not unlike the wind in
a tempest. The ground was shaken,
causing houses to tremble and crockery
and glassware to rattle, as though in
an earthquake. Prolonged under
ground rumblings seemed to accom-
pany the disturbance and occasionally
there would be a short, sharp shock.
The groanings of Mount Tom are mat
ters of history, but the cause Of the
phenomenon no one seems able to ex-
plain. All the noises emanate from the
mountain, which the red men called
'Mach-i- i-Moodus-"the place of noise"
The Indians held that the Moodus
noises were the mutterings of the
anger of the great spirit in consequence
of the white mans having entered the
red mans domain. For twenty years,
up to 1929, the Moodus villagers heard
these noises almost continually, and
during that time the sounds seem to
have been more remarkable than those
that have followed since. After the
great earthquake at Lisbon these mani
festations went away until one Sunday
in 1852. They came again in 1885,
when they attracted considerable at
teton. Scientific men have attempted
TO call the noises little earthquakes,
but no reason is given as to why they
occur nowhere else in the Connecticut
valley save at Moodus.

RULES FOR CANDY MAKING.
EIrs. Rorer Tells How Connections Nav Rs
Made at Home.

iIrs. Rorer Tells How CONNECTIONS May Be
Made st Home.
Mrs. S. T. Rorer tells how to make
candies at home in The Ladies' Home
Journal and gives the following rules
which insure the success of the work:
"Never stir the sugar and water after
the sugar has dissolved. Wipe down
constantly the granules forming on the
side of the saucepan. Do not shake or
move the saucepan while the sirup is
boiling AS soon as the sugar begins to
boil watch it carefully, having in your
hand a bowl of ice water, SO that you
may try the sirup almost constantly.
Have everything in readiness before be-
ginning. If the sugar grains, use it for
old fashioned cream candy or sugar
taffy. 1t cannot be used for fondant.
Use only the best granulated sugar for
boiling and confectioners' xxx for
kneading. If your fondant grains with
out apparent cause you may have boil
ed it little too long. A few drops of
lemon juice c< little cream of tartar
will prevent this. Fondant is the soft
mixture which forms both the inside of
the French candies and the material in
which they are dipped, and it is to OBJ
tain this that the sugar is boiled.
after the sugar has reached the
soft ball, a semihard condition, it
must be poured carefully into a large
meat plate or on a marble slab. Do not
scrape the saucepan or you will granu-
late the sirup. Make your fondant one
day and make it up into candy the next.
Never melt fondant by placing the
saucepan Immediately on the stove
Prevent the danger of scorching by
standing the pan containing it in ba-
sin of water. If the melted fondant is
too thick, add water most cautiously, a
drop at time. A half teaspoonful more
than is necessary will ruin the whole.
To cool candy place it in a cool, dry
place. To keep candy put it between
layers of waxed paper in tin boxes. If
the day is bright and clear, the sugar
loses its sickness quickly; therefore
select fine day for your candy max.

got letter from Bill, in which a pend

German Thoroughness

AS an instance of the thoroughness
with which musketry practice is taught
in the German army may be mentioned
a device which has recently been intro
duced with good results. The better to
accustom the men to the interferences
with sight in battle, clouds of smoke are
produced by burning furze and wet
grass, or by other means, between the
marksman and his aim.
