When Rfka was ten the first cloud came into her
life Her parents left the home that had been in the
family for nearly hundred years and sought ha-

Five years afterwards Jacques, using pretext
an objection to serve in the Prussian army when he
became Of age also turned his back upon his paren-
tai home and proceeded to the capital Of France, in
search of fortune.
He found Rifka and her people in that hotbed OF
Asatians residing in the vicinity of the Old Temple
within sight Of the stately Barracks, known as the
Casserne Prince Eugene, famous rallying point OF
the Bouevarder in his leisure moments.
Fortune had not come to dwell in the family, yet
they had prospered in a certain and had no re-

and methods, just they had been reared IN
the Alsatan village and were content In the knowl
edge that they endeavored to do their duty.
Jacques, ambitious and energetic went to work
in humble position and was gradually advanced,

For weeks the jest between the lovers revolved
about the Ofner. To them the Sephiroth meant more

A GREAT company has been formed
in Mexico, with a capital, fully sub
scribed, of ten millions silver, whose
object is the introduction of manufac-
lures on large scale into Mexico. 1t
is only by cooperation and com binstion
that this can be done. and perhaps Ell
Paso can take hint. There is no way
in which the permanency of our great
and increasing prosperity can be 60
certaioly assured as by the establish
ment here of manufacturing industries,
smelters and factories of every sort.
After all is said and done, 1t is the
hand worker, the man who sells his
bodily labor for money, that makes q
town great, permanent, and rich. The
wealth of labor is the truest wealth.

No communities are more jea lous OF
the welfare of their schools than are
the states and territories of the great
southwest. and if the schools are not
all we wish; them to be it is from no
want of financial support. AS a matter
of fact, the schools are getting better
every year, and nothing will help so
materially to make them better as will
the plain demonstration of lively in
terest in their welfare on the part of
the people themselves. Do rot send

it. Take personal interest, cooperate

before you criticise. and help where

JAPAN is working hard to develop
her trade with Mexico. A commission
of Japanese merchants is now in the
capital on this errand. Thus does the

with America. Mexico is a great and

to be great industrial development
there within the next decade. There
is room for all. but for the United

ARMOR FOR WARSHIPs.
Will Furnish Harveyizad Plates at
 S400 q Ton.

Washington, June 20.- Rear Ad- m;ral O'NeiI, chief cf the bureau of ordnance, has received replies from the Carnegie Steel company and the Bethlehem Iron works to his letter asking them if they would agree to furnish all the armor for the four monitors. Arkansas, Connecticut, Flor ida and Wyoming. and the diagonal plates for the battleships Ono, Mis- souri and Maine at $400 ton. Both companies accepted the proposition of Admiral O'NeiI and will send repre- sentatives to Washington in few days to discuss with him the char acter of the test which the govern ment will impose as a condition to ac- cepting the armor Owing to the fail- ure of the navy department to receive any Lids for furnishing armor fer these vessels. to be treated by the i'm proved Krupp process, witEin the limits of cost prescribed by congress, it was decided to endeavor to secure Harveyized armor at S400 a ton. The acceptance of Admiral O'Neil's propo- sition by the two 2rmor companies practically insures the completion Of the monitors and the continuance Of work on the baIt1eships named with out any delay. It is understood that the conditions which the department Will impose in regard to the tests Of this armor will be very rigid, but the specifications will not be drawn until after the conference between Admiral O'Neil and the representative of the manufacturers

SEEDS THAT NEED FIRE.
Curious Facts About Certain Trees n
 California and Australia.

4 Californian pine tree whose seed cones can only. be opened by fire CT great heat has been attracting consid- erable attention at Kew Gardens, Lo1- don. It seems, however. that this tree, linus muricata, is not alone in It's salamander-like requirements. for former Aus tTaiian living in London writes as follows:
 The wattle tree of Australia (acacia d6currens) also possesses the same pe- culiarity, and its seeds will only germ mate when subjected to great heat. Soaking the seeds of this trea in boil ing water or roasting them in a irving pan for some hours has been tried and found successful. but all other meth Ods have failed After the seed has fallen from the tree it will often lie dormanu in the ground for years, but immediately a bush fire comes along and reduces all the present trees to ashes (as IS often the case in Austra- lia), the seed germinates and 8 perfect forest of young trees will spung up within twelve months Even on grounds where there has not been a wattle tree growing within living memory these trees have been not:oed to grow up after a bush fire The wat tie tree, being very susceptible to fire. IS easily killed, and if the same means that caused it's destTuctiCn did not in duce it to grow again it would very soon be eradicated"

despite the large recent purchases there is still a large aggregate ton mage in the markets
 Sales of bars in the Chicago district during the last week have been heavy and the inquiries from other buyers continue numerous. in addition to sales that will take, care of the greater part of the capacity of the mills for the present year there have 4lso been liberal sales ranging well toward the niddle Of next year.
 Sales by the local hardware whola- saIers during the last week were fully up to the scale established by May and there is every indication that the heavy trade will continue. Tn fact, predictions are made without reserva- ton that there will be no midsummer lull, but that the factories engaged in the manufacture of the, various items of the line will be crowded to their limit during the remainder of the year, If not longer.

MIDDLEMEN'S DAYS OVER.
St. Louis Tobacco Dealers Say Trust
 Has Ruined Market.

i St. Louis, Mo-, June 20.-The claim i is made by dealers that the .acal to- bacc0 market has been ruined as 2 re- suit of the absorption of the five largest factories in this city. The weekly break sales Of leaf have been abandored. and there is very little business left for the jobbers in this line. Nicholas M. Bel, of the Peper Warehouse Co, where the weekly sales were formerly held says:
 The purchase Of the big factories by the trust has ruined the market and left no heavy purchasers for leaf to- bacco. The trust sends men cut to buy direct from the producer, and all middlemen are dispensed with. As 9 result, there will be no competition and growers will be completely at the mercy of the combine
 Lccal capitalists, it is reported oD the street, are about to engage in the tobacco manufacturing business. As a result of the absorption of five faa> tories here and the shutting down of four of these, stocks are about ex~ hausted, and it is believed that this is a good time to invest in business which is capable of paying such large returns on the capital employed as is the tobacco trade.
 Moses c. Wetmore is spoken Of as the head and front of one of two to enter into competition with the trust for control of the trade.
