A japanese woman, said by the New
York Tribune to be the first who ever
applied for naturalization papers in
this country, surprised Samuel D. Ed

cult court, in the Federal building,
when she appeared before him, for a
woman who wants to take out papers
Ia always an object of curiosity. She
said she was Miss Mine Harada. and
Abe signed her name in a firm, legible
hand. She gave Toxic as her native
place. An interpreter was necessary
to explain the terms of the oath by
which she was required to renaunce
Ter allegiance to the emperor of Japan.
In the rest of the questions she got

TOY Watch Swallowed.

A toy watch, about the size of a
quarter, swallowed by Alma Todt, 3
years old, of 225 North Asland avenue,
was located in the pit of her stomach
by means of X rays. The watch would
have caused death ultimately. The
little girl is in precarious condition
and a surgical operation will be neces-
sary to remove the timepiece. The
little girl swallowed the watch while
playing in the parlor of her home.
She held it dangling from a chain.
then placed it in her mouth. In some
way the fastening became 1oosened
and she started coughing, forcing it
down her throat.-Chicago Chronicle.

How to Lay Bricks.

Estimates are based by the 1000
tricks laid in a wall. 1t is customary
to deduct. for doors, windows, arches,
etc, but 1ot for fues, ends of joists,
Orders, window frames, sills or lin
tells. In general way, four and one
half inch wall will require seven
bricks to the square foot; fourteen for
a nine-inch wall etc. Tunnel and
arch briekwork Is measured by the Gu
bic yard 1t requires thirty-eight
bricks, eight and one-quarter by four
by two, with points one-third to one
fourth inch wide, to lay one square
yard If laid fiat. # placed on edge, it
will take seyenty-three, while if OIL
end, 149. Ornamental work, such as
eerniees and beads, is produced by
causing courses of bricks to project
beyond the place of the rest. In laying
walls, the first principle to be observed,
in order to gain tho greatest resistance,
is to have the bricks Of successive
courses overlap each other, SO that the
joint between the two is oEerIaid by
the middle of brick. What is known
as the old English bond and which
gives the greatest strength consists in
arranging the bricks in alternate
courses of stretchers and headers, the
former being bricks laid longitudinally
with the wall and the other transverse
ly. The headers serve to bind the sew
eral courses together.

LIFE ON ISLAND OF ST. HELEN.
Inhabitants Happy and oontented ana
Crime Almost Unknown.

Crime Almost Unknown.
From the New York Times; Few
people ever think Of st. Helena exeent
as a rock in the sea on which Nanolaor
lived while miserably and then more
miserably died. That the greatest OF
anti=climaxes was not the end OF the
little islands history is hard to realize
possibly because a poet or romaneer
would have made it the end, and 3
continuation is therefore more Or less
unnatural and absurd. Be that as It
may, st. Helena has remained the abid
ing place of ordinary human beings
who concern themselves very Httls
about the colossal ghost generally sup
posed to be the islands only inhabi-
tant, and the report to the English
government just made by their gov
ernor shows that they have joys and
sorrows exactly like those of the folks
dwelling in places less tragically fa-
nous. For instance, the revenues of
the fslabd last year were S. 52, a de-
cidedly comfortable sum, but alas! the
expenditures amounted to G12,349, and
that is an excess of outgo not comfort
able at all. The governor says. how
ever, that the bad balance was Tue to
some extraordinary drains upon the
islands resources, and that he antiei-
pates substantial surplus for the cur
gent year. A recent increase of the
garrison and extensive improvements
now making by the colonial and I'M
perial authorities assure the imme-
date prosperity of the islanders. st.
Helena las no public debt, but is pay
ing off by small annual installments
noninterest-b grant of e 1000
made by parliament in 1871. The i'm
ports, chiefly foodstuffs and building
materials, amounted last year to Esq.,
$50, and the exports, almost wholly po-
tatees to g4,391. Lacemaking has been
intraducA among the girls of the is
land with great success, and the gov
ern9r is experimenting with the manu-
facture of brick and tile. The WhaI-
ers have now entirely deserted st.
Helena, the few ships engaged in that
industry keeping far to the north or
south. The total population of the is
kdHQ Is Tito. Inc SoNEl ho1 AoPes eAee
winter visitors from England may be
tempted by the salabrity of the eli
mate to try st. Helena, which is SUI
pefior he says, in some respects to that
of Madeira and the Canary islands. He
says The people as whole compare
fayofably with the English agrieul-
turaI population; with few exceptions
all can read and write. and the Ian
guage is spoken with greater purity
than in many districts at home. As a
rule. the people are happy and con-
tented, with little crime among them
and much kindness in helping each
other. Strangers are greatly impressed
with the general eivility shown by
them to old and young.

The Thrifty Yankee.

The Kennebec Journal tells of man
who catches seals, cuts off the noses
and gets the 81 bounty offered by the
state of Maine, after which he collects
the tails and HES himself to Massa-
chusetts, where he collects the bounty
offered for the tail of every seal caught
in Massachusetts waters. Then ne
returns to the pine tree state to work

THE ARCTIC MOSQUITO.
A Fierce Insect That Is Menace %
Human Life.

Nothing that has ever been written
about the arctic mosquito begins to
come up to the real thing, said a
guest in the st. Charles corridor the
other evening. 4 went up The Yukon
river in the summer Of 1896, represent
ing the Alaska and Dominion Trading
company. and We struck mosquitoes as
soon as we got into the hills. They
are twice as large as our familiar
bayou species, and their sting is like
the prod Of hot needle. They sweep
along the valleys in dense clouds, ana
If they catch a man unprepared they
are liable to blind him before he can
escape. I heard stories Of children
being stang to death, and can readily
believe them. Whenever we went
ashore we wore heavy hat nets and
took the utmost preeaution. but were
certain to suffer more o. less. One of
our party cut the tongues out of his
shoes and narrow line of sock was
exposed under the lacing. Next day
he was bitten there at least a hundred
llM6Sf duu HIS Ietl were 5O ISl44DIy
infamed that the shoes had to be cut
off. Another man, a fireman in the
boat crew, got drunk on Alaska whisky
one afternoon and lay down to take a
nap in corner of the engine room,
and was Mortified at the solid brown
mass of mosquitoes that had settled
on a small exposed section of his cheek
and throat. In an hour his face was
swollen out of all resemblance to any
thing human. he was unable to sWal-
low ana was burning with fever. 1t
vas a week before he was able to be
about. I saw a number of cattle near
Fort Hamilton that had been made
stone blind by stings near the eye.
The arctic foothill mosquito is with
ont doubt the most terrible insect pest
in the world. New Orleans Times

ELECTION INSPECTORS.
They Have Tried the Patience OF
Government officials.

At the next election the Government
officials are in hopes that the election
inspectors will understand their busi-
ness more thoroughly. especially where
il relates to the sending Of the official
returns direct 20 the secretary of the
Territory. instead of sealing them up
with the ballots. Such a procedure
on the part of quite number or In
spectors who evidently wanted to save
postage. has caused no end OF trouble
for Governor Dole and Secretary Coop
er and Bob" Wncox. The delegate
elect was on pins and needles for
nearly two weeks. fearing that he
would have to leave for Washington
without carrying his credentials with
him.
/ The latest freak in this direction
came to the attention OF Secretary
Cooper yesterday, when he received
letter from an inspector on Hawaii
saving that his election expenses had
been sealed up in the same package
with the ballots. He was getting anx.
,ious about the expenses, and asked the
secretary to do something about 1T.
The only plan to be pursued under
the circumstances Is to take the bun
die containing the ballots for the in
spector's election district before ont
of the Supreme Court justices ant
have IL opened in his presence. Tn
expense account can then be remove,
and the ballots again sealed up befor
the eyes of the court
: The inspectors are learning. but tn
; patience of the Government official
has been sorely tried.
