this visit portends the inauguration of
work on the property. The mine has
been worked in II small way for months

OPPORTUNITIES IN SAMOA.
Uncle Sans Possession In the Group Par
tlcularly Rich In Resources.

Somewhere in that mysterious part Of
the South Pacific ocean, where one day
merges into another to keep chronomet-
ers straight and to keep mankind from
trouble in marking the fight of years,
lie the Samoan islands, three in num-
bcr of which the smallest, Tutuilla, is
the property of the United States. The
recent division of the islands, which are
connected with the United States and
with Australia and New Zealand by reg
ular mail steamers, has assured their
future. Tutuila, which is as large as
the State of Rhode Island, contains
many acres of the richest soil and would
make a fruitful dwelling place for Ioo,-
600 ambitious men. 1t could be con-
verted into vast plantations of coffee,
vanilla, tobacco, cocoanuts and dozens
of other native products, while a thriv-
ing town could be made to flourish be
meath the hower-clad trees on the beach.
Apia, in Samoa, is one of the most
prosperous towns in the south seas, and
its future is assured. 1t was in the hills
north of this place that Robert Louis
Stevenson, after roaming the earth for
a paradise, found one, 1t was there he

GAME LAWS IN FRANCE.
Rights Of the Farmer Arc Considered and
His Interests Protected

In France the protection OF crops AMI
farm stock is among the chief objects
OF the game laws, so much so indeed
that a French landowner is not only
prohibited from encouraging on his es-
tate such noxious animals as the fox,
badger, otter, boar, roebuck and rabbit.
but is even compelled to organize for
the suppression OF such scheduled "ver-
min" by periodic drives; and neglect ,oi
either obligation is likely to land him
in costly claims for agricultural damage
All manner OF interesting legal quib-
bles are common whenever the question
crops up OF practical application OF the
laws. Thus, whereas in French law
the prohibition of might" shooting COW
ers only the period OF darkness, a similar
restriction applied to fishing applies to
the entire period between sunset and
sunrise, very different matter in the
summer months.
Again, a very proper consideration oi
the extent to which intense cold may
deprive birds OF their wild instincts and
their powers OF fight has prompted a
prohibition in France OF shooting in
the snow; but here again, before a pros
ecution can be established, it must be
shown that the snow was thick enough
at the time OF the otfense to enable any
one to follow the footprints OF the beast
or bird.-London Express.

SLAVERY IN NEW YORK.
In Early Days the City Engaged in the Traffic
In Human Flesh.

The greatest impetus was given to the
slave trade by the act Of parliament Of
1884, which legalized slavery in the
North American colonies. This does
not mean that slavery was unknown in
what is now the United States before
that time, because, as early as 1920, a
Dutch, man-of-war landed and sold 20
African negroes at Jamestown, Va. In
1920 the West India Company imported
slaves from the West Indies to New
York city--then New Amsterdam. The
city itself owned shares in slave ship,
advanced money for its fitting out and
shared in the profits oil its voyages.
This recognition and encouragement
may account for the astounding fact
that in 1850 slaves formed one-sixth OF
the entire population OF New York
The general prevalence OF slavery is
shown by the fact that, at this time,
there were o7 slaves in New York S
small suburb of Brooklyn, and that in
London itself there were resident 10000
slaves. Slaves were at that time pub
licly dealt in on the London Exchange.
No wonder the traffic in human flesh
was recognized commerce, and that,
in 1871, the English alone sent to Africa
Io2 ships equipped for the trade and
with carrying capacitysof 47,I4o slaves
per trip.-Pearson' Magazine.

THE PASSING CT THE soeas.
MournfuI Ending Of Brave People That
Struggle Hard for Existence.

For more than 90 years the existence
Of the Boers has been the epic of con.
tinuous and immense adventure, in
which nothing has been so amazing as
the last struggle and the final defeat.
There is no such example OF a hard
and stubborn people, dimly led by des-
tiny, in their flight from civilization, to
revolve in a circle which brought them
back at last face to face with the most
overwhelming environment of all the
ideas and forces OF civilization, in the
shape of the British empire.
When the Dutch farmers resolved up
on their exodus from Cape Colony and
plunged with their long teams of lum-
the wilderness of the north, wandering
over veldt and mountain, through bush
and river, seeking from decade TO decade
for some further home and abiding rest
from their pilgrimage, and fighting their
steady path as a handful against hordes
through thousand miles OF savage con-
tinent, the Beers commenced a story oi
hcroism not to be cqualed out OF Exo-
dus. 1t will never be adequately de-
scribed, il not by the pen of some sec
ond De Quincy in pages OF such SUI
prcme eloquence and power as those
which immortalzed the flight of the
Tartars. The very names of the Trans
vaal towns record the travail OF sorrow
and death in which they were founded
-"Weenen," the place of weeping;
"Rustenburg," the place Of rest; "Ly-
denburg," the place Of suffering.-Lon-
don Telegraph.

Great Britain Taxes Brains.

Few people have any idea what a

nearly as possible of 100 per cent. on its

but the entire business world watched
the progress Of the efforts to bring
about settlement of the anthracite
coal strike with active interest. This
week the paralysis OF the anthracite in
dustry was more complete than last, and
the effect was seen upon the distribu-
tion of merchandise in the East and the
placing of new orders with manufactur-
ers. But the working force has incrcas-
ed largely through the settlement be-
tween the Amalgamated association and
several steel companies, whose works,
! employing 10000 men, have been idle,
In the East the conditions seem gener-
ally favorable for quick recovery, with
the coal strike over, while in the West
there has been no noteworthy reduction
in the distribution of any class OF goods.
Aside from the expected reduction to
SEQ for steel rails and a sale of Besse-
mer pig at Pittsburg for $I3.75, the
whole list OF iron and steel products is
unchanged. The feeling grows strong
er that bottom has been reached. TAX
ing the IL articles quoted in our price
tables it will be seen that after an ad-
vance of over 100 per cent. in 1899
prices have declined only about IS per
cent this year. and there is already a
tendency toward a higher level One
company is considering the purchase OF
10000 tons foundry iron, and an export
order for $500 tons of rails has been
placed. Wheat again rose to 80 cents,
but failed to maintain the advance.

and advanced 10 cents above the price
at this date last year, or over IS per

The Ducking Stool In England.

1t is interesting to conjure up a pic
ture of a "ducking" as practiced in
England at the end of the eighteenth
century.
When the "scold' had been properly
tried and convicted. she was escorted
by a crowd of her ne%ighbors-in fact,
by the whole village-to the nearest
pond-and the greener and Sinner the
pond the better. A long plank was
produced, at one end of which was the
''ducking STOOL" and in this the scream
ing. struggling victim was securely pin
Toned.
The chair end Of the plank was then
pushed far over the edge of the pond,
and at a signal 1t was tilted deep into
the green ooze until the scold was CON-
pletely immersed.
When the dripping, half drowned
woman was raised to the surface
again. to the jeers and laughter Of the
o%nlookers, it car be imagined that her
tongue wagged to some purpose. After
a second dose she emerged more sub
dued. and after a third or fourth she
was as penitent a woman as the vii.
lage contained and was allowed to
proceed home a sadder and wiser wo.
