HOLIDAY TREES IN WISCONSIN,.
Half Million of Them shipped An
 nualiy to Dealers In the East.

From the Milwaukee Wisconsin: Few people realize the difficulty ex- perienced nowadays h securing Christ mas trees for the holidays. Millions Of trees are 1sed every year in this country. s.ad each succeeding year finds it more difficult for the merchants to secure choice trees for the market, owing to the rapid advance in clear ing the forests Of the west. It is es- timated that nearly 1000, 900 trees are shipped every year from this state to eastern parties Theodore Hoffmann IS probably the most extensive dealer in Christmas trees around here. He makes q speciality of the business, and says that he will break all records this year in regard to the number of trees shipped east Already he has several crews Of men at work in Marinette county, about seventy miles north of 1 Green Bay, and also in Florence coun- 1 ty. MT. Hoffmann says that in years l past he had no trouble in getting all the trees he desired In the swamps above Green Bay and near Marinette, but now he is obliged to send his men Into the baekwoods a considerable aistance as the trees cannot be secured now without great desl of trouble. The great difficulty now Is getting the trees to the railway stations, much time being lost in this work He fig ures that he will get out close to 1,000,
 GOO trees this winter, more than half of this number going to the east. At the rate the trees have been disappear ing of late years I figure there will be scarcity of them in five or ten years, ' remarked MT. Hoffman, while dis l cussing the question. There are few persons making a speciality of raising them for the market, but it is prob able that some one will take it up be, fore it is too late. It is really hard matter to get good trees, my men re- porting that very few of them are of good size and quality. However, there are many swamps where the trees grow in abundance, and the owners will probably realize that they are worth the holding after all, especially when they learn how valuable they may prove fo he

KISSED BY THE QUEEN.

A Gracious Distinction Conferred UpS4
 Brave Soldier.
 To be Knight of the Thistle is a big honor, of course" remarked an old quartermaster sergeant, amidst a dis eussion among some military men at Chatham, says Pesrson's Weekly; but 1 can claim a distinction lots in front of that, or of kissing hands with the queen, as they say of the custom observed by cabinet ministers when taking over the seals of office. ," You're chucking it, mon," observed a stalWart sergeant frae the far north. Well, the veteran non-com. went on to explain, the good fortune which be- fel me was to be kissed by the queen" an intimation which caused the little party to gather round yet closer. You're having us, Jock" observed a credulOus corporal, and if you want the hatchet say so, for the present holder is fair eutclassed." No" the distinguished soldier, as he claimed to De, contended, it is you that's out of it, as you will see. You may have heard Of my being the youngest bugler that took part in the Crimea, and such fact secured for me a place among the survivors who were inspected by the queen after peace was proclaimed" When the wounded went by. some in chairs" = "Quite so. We'll, was than a title faxen-haired, red-cheeked youngster, very small for my age, and l suppose eontrasted a good deal with the worn veterans. When my turn came to pass her majesty asked how old I was, and on replying little over thirteen, at the same time giving quite the best salute possible, the queen said: Dear little fellow and then gave me a kiss on the cheek. So you see how I came to receive a gracious dis tinction which from generals down. ward no other soldier has ever been able to lay claim to. That honor's mine alone"

Lifted Across the Mountains.

It is a remarkable fact that water which flows naturally into the gulf Of California and thence into the Pacific ocean has been virtually lifted across the backbone of the Rocky mountains and now, after being used for irriga- tion, finds it's way to the gulf of Mexi- co. A number of small streams on the other side of Longs peak, which flow into Grand lake and thence into the Colorado river, have been diverted by ditch that finds it's way through a pass 10000 feet high into the head waters of the Poudre. Some 400 cubic feet per second have thus been di verted from the Pacific to the Atlantic slope, where the water is used for irri- gating additional farms in Larimer county. It is not strictly correct to say that this water has been lifted across the range, but feat of sinuous engineering has diverted it.

How Women Dress in Siberia,

Gcmmon-elass women in Siberia wear shawls or kerchiefs on their heads while the rich women wear no head covering whatever. A traveller recent ly returned from that part of the world says that Russian woman who is otherwise trim and modern in dress will go about with her hair dish eveled to the point of the ludicrous. Less attention is paid to the head and feet than to other parts of their toilet. Tt is odd enough to see them" says this same writer, "defying dripping decks and muddy roads in the thinnest of heelless slippers, while the breezes play havoc with the loose tresses of their hair. Their shirtwaist is feEs- mine terror, with broad turnover collar, fancy cuffs. cotton bows, many buttons and numerous fr1lls, in place of the natty American shirtwaist."

TWO ANCIENT ARABIAN WEI ,.s
They Furnish Drink te the Thirsty Trar
 clers Through Desert sands.

Tn northwestern Arabia there Is a well of the purest water, perpetual in ite supply. that has existed for ages. The Arabs claim 1t vas dug by the early Islamites. Whoever dug it must have exeeaded great labor upon it, for : s .Ys feet in diameter at the top a.. aally enlarges until it reaches ths Water, at a depth of nearly 200 fec. It is lined with hewn stone throughout. However, the host re- markable we'll in the world is Joseph's well. at Cairo, Egypt. It's shaft was excayated through solid rock to a depth of 165 feet, at which depth it was enlarged on one side to form a chamber, in the bottom of which a reservoir was made immediately un- der the shaft. At one side of this reservoir another shaft was exeavated through rock to bed of gravel, where water was found. The lower shaft was 130 feet deep, making the total depth 295 feet. The upper shaft was rectangular, 24x18 feet. The lower shaft was 15x9 feet. Winding around the we'll a spiral passageway 6 feet 1 inches wide by feet 2 inches high was cut with great care from the sur face of the ground down to the cham Der. Between the well and the pas sageway a wall of rock was left Horses and oxen descended the pas sageway to the chamber, where they propelled machinery to raise the water in pots attached to chain from the lower shaft to the reservoir in the chamber, and it was again raised by machinery operated by power on the surface. In the lower shaft a path was cut in it's side so that descent could be made to the water. There was no wall between the path and the well. This work is said to have been constructed by saladin, who lived in the years 113z to 119S. Some writers do not mention this, and say that the date of the construction is lost in an- tiquity.

Tons of It Are Shipped from Arizona
 to a south Dakota Factory.
 The polishing works of this city is now engaged on the stapendous job of getting out $1,000.000 worth of polished chaleedony, or petrifed wood, to be taken to the Paris exposition. This petrified wood is hauled 1ro4.s it's na- tive heath in Arizona, distance of sixty-tive miles, to railroad, and then shipped to this city to be cut and pol ished. It is shipped here in great logs and stumps, weighing many tons each, just as they have lain for many ages during the process required by nature to turn the wood into beautiful and varlegated colors of stone The pro- cess of saving the stone up in shape for polishing is most tedious, the huge machinery used for the purpose being able to saw only from an inch to three inches a day into it. After being cut and polished the stone is worked up into every conceivable shape, from cuff buttons to tops for center tables and 5reat columns, which cost a small for tune. The great exhibit which is to be p,ade in Paris will be a wonderful advertisement for Sioux Falls, for the reason that nowhere else on earth is there machinery mammoth yet deli cate enough to saw, polish and put into shape the variety of articles that will be on exhibition.-Siouxs Falls Jour nal.

First Flag Pole on the Coast.

On the highest ground of long, low hill distant about one mile to the west ward of the little town of Bodega, in Western Sonoma county, Cal, there stands tall, somewhat decrepit red wood flagstaff. This ancient-lobking pole is about sixty feet in height, says the San Francisco Bulletin, is bent with age and exposure, and is slowly deeaying. That plain, warped old red wood fagpole is the patriarch of ali fagpoles not only in California, but on the entire Pacific slope. For it was the first erected to fly the banner of the Union when California and all oth- CT territory in the same latitude from the Pacific to the Rockies were taken possession of by the United States.

Experiments with wireless 1elegraphs

Experiments with Wireless Teleeraphs
 Experiments are reported with wire, less telegraphy during ten days be- tween Chamonix and the Yallot 0b- servatory, on Mont Blanc; the straight distance was seven and five one-hun- dredths miles and the difference ii height two miles. After descrip> ton of the transmitting and receiving stations, the results are summed up as follows: The experiments were made every day during eleven hours. The signals were satisfactory only for a distance between the oscillator spheres equal to eight one-hundredths Of an inch. The absence of water in liquid form did not interfere neither did the intervention of clouds Although at- moaDherie electricity aetuated the ap. paratus several times. 1t did not make communication impossible

WOMEN PIANO TUNERS
Esw Field of Labor Which Does Net
 Reaulre Much Exsrtion.

have been ponderins the problem of feminine money-making oeeapa- tons, and among the unexplored fields believe piano tuning to be just the thing for musical women for t IS generally conceded that woman's s ear is finer than q mans, although one musician of my acquaintance taAes ex- ception to the statement. However, l say to him that fewer women than men sing off the key and play out CT tune. Piano taning is not hard work that is, 1t does not require any amount of physical exertion. It does require correct ear, a knowledge of music ana a degree of skill which can be acquired from a teacher in the tuning line like any other trade There are many houses where feminine tuner Woaia 1 be preferred to man, and not the least reason why the compensation to | both sexes should not be equal It IS one of the few fields where the con- petition is even. It disturbs me grea ly to note the difference In salaries pald | to men and women who do the same work. Often the woman has family dependent upon her, and while the man has nobody in the world on whom to spend his money. yet her sex, not her ability, debars her from earning as much money as the man whose desk adjoins hers. I am rather lukewarm on the subject of woman's rights be- cause I believe that in the main our sex has a great many privileges, more than is good for us sometimes. There are few things in which l could wish an improvement, and the salary ques- tion is one of them. A faithful indus trious woman who looks out for her employers interest ought to receive the consideration generally extended to male emp1oye with those same ex- cellent qualities, and I will fight for reform in that direction with the full strength of my voice and the entire 1 force of my pen. That reform would help us more than the ballot-box priv ilege ten times over.-Kansas City Journal.
