The map of France in stone. which the Russians are preparing for the Paris exhibition, is a remarkable spe- eimen of the lapidary's skill It shows each individual department in colored jasper. while the sea is represented by lapis lazuli. the rivers by platinum and the l06 towns marked by precious stones. The countries bordering on France are given in gray jasper. and fourteen islands are represented by stones of the same color as that used for the adjacent mainland.

Inhabitants of Loud.s Island on the
 Maine Coast Pay None.

Loud's island. on the coast of Maine, near historic Pemaquid. in the Lincoln county town of Bristol, is one Of the very few places or earth where there are no taxes. This island. otherwise known as Muscongus, was overlooked when Maine became q state. and was put into 10 town or county. It is said that during the war the people cast their votes for a time in the town Of Bristol until some election officer dis covered the i1legality of the vote. The island was first settled by John Loud. 2 deserter from a British nanof-war. and his at-grandchildren are now prominent inhabitants. By voluntary contributions school is maintained, the parents paying s4 for each child. The school term averages eight months in each year, and there is an average attendance Of eighteen scholars. Catch ing bait for the fishermen Of Boston, Gloucester ard P0rt2aH is the most profitable business Of the people, out when bait is slack in running they turn their attention to fostering, mackereI fishing and catching porgies for the big oil and fertilizing factory opposite the island in Bristol. After successful haul of bait large white flag is hoisted on the high ground in the center of the island. With glass it may be discovered far out at sea. whence come the Grand Bankers and others like buzzards attracted by the casualties of battle. The people have comfortable homes. and are prosper ous and contented. Like the fsher- men of l~S. isle. they are famous for their skill as sailors.-Portland Prasa

RATS LEVIED RLAckMAIL.
rhsr Were Fed to Let Certain Eat
 able. Alone.

Pats have always levied toll in some vay on the human race Blackmail cheerfuTly paid to rats is. however, new to history and tribute to their great abilities, says the Chicago News. They had established them selves under q meat market and, ac- cording to the owner. e.the way they used to pick and choose was dreadful. " When two carcasses of mutton were available they would eat the prime and leave the poorer. The best was hardly good enough for them, and they were cunning even beyond the cun- hing of market rats. So the owner re- solved to make a treaty and pay black mail, relying on the economic wisdom Of rats. He gave them three square meals day, with plenty of variety, in hope that the rats would be ap- Deased and not eat mutton at night. too. The menu was bread, fancy bis- euft, potatoes and sugar. and was laid near the rats front door, At first they used to come up furtfyely and carry the food off tC their holes. But now they come out regularly in the shop. eating their luncheon on equal terms with their hosts Their leader is an old grizzIed rat, who has lost an ear. He has become the medium" between the high contracting parties and sets an example 10 his own side by eating bread and biscuits out of the shop mems fingers. The rats now behave exactly like other tribes when in re- cefpt of blaekmail. in that they drive off all intruders "The other day" said one Of the shopmen, "a strange rat got in among 'em and you should have seen 'em chase him out They ran him out the shop, in front of all of us. and I believe if he'd "a stayed they'd have killed him"

Cook Stove as a Monument.

William MckIiIlp, at an early day s citizen Of Traverse City, bur for many years resident 0f Muskegon. tells a curious coincidence which came in ths list of his experiences AIr. McKlIIip ts a native of Washington county. New York, leaving it in 1846. and in a eema- tery there with which he was familiar in early life there were deposited the remains of the wife of one Aaron Cros- bg As monument to her memory there was placed over her grave a common eastir0n cooking stove. on the top being a marble slab, with the ap- proDriate inscription of name, etc. The reculiarity Of the cook stove monu- ment naturally impressed itself upon his mind, aside from the fact that he was acquainted with the man who sought in this manner to perpetuate his wifeAs memory, but he was des- tined to see another monument of the same sort. Happening to be in Spring field, H., fn 1852. he found the Sab bath somewhat lonely among stran- gers and to kill time wandered out to the cemetery. Tn looking about he came upon the counterpart of the cook stove memorial, and, upon reading the inscription on the slab, found that wife No. ? of Aaron Crosby was rest ing below. No doubt both ladies were excellent cooks, and the aDpreciatiye Aaron knew no more appropriate way to peGpetaate this great qualification. Traverse City Eagle.

CHINESE HISTORY IS ANCIENT.
Dates Back to the Time When Ninereh Was Great Metropolis.

The authentic history and biography of China is doubtless the oldest in the world, even antedating that Of the Jews. Those familiar with it's chro- noIogy state tha. it embraces g period from the year 122 Of our era back to the remote period of 2.s97 years before Christ. The historians Of China ern- brace a succession Of uninterrupted series Of more than 2,400 years. The full and continuous history of the en- pire was compiled in the second cen tgry of our era. The great libraries Of Pekin contain volumes of books numbered by the hundreds of thou sands. Tn the archives of the govern ment ar. still to be found the ancient predictions of ecIfpses made with great accuracy, together with works on as- tronomv which show a fair knowledge of that interesting science. BiogEa- phies, very suecinetIy written, 0f the emperors Of the most ancient dynas- ties still ey st, and written works ef learned men are as voluminoas as those =of ElfO9edH hdtioA1ss s2l43 f1tA this learning and love Of learning has been acquired without help CT suggeS- eion from any foreign people. II their authentic histories reach back nearly five centuries ago, mythical history reaches still further back into the very night Of time. When NineYeh and Babylon were in the spIendor of their might men in China were pre- dieting eellpses, making catalogues and giving names to the stars. But Nineveh and Babylon were mere mounds of earth and rubbish when China was great, and to this date the civilization and life of the empire ars the wonder of the wn-td.

HOW GLOVES ARE GATHERED.
More Used in America Than Any Other
 Country.

More Used in America Than Any Other
 Country.
 More cloves are said to be used in America than in any other country, England and France following in the order named. Tn this country and in Great Britain they are used almost wholly as q condiment, but in France they are used largely in the manufac- ture Of certain liqueurs. To some de gree they are employed in medicine for their tonic properties. The name cIoFe is from the French cieu. meaning a nail. The tree is an evergreen. grow ing from forty to fifty feet nigh, with large, oblong leaves and crimson flow CTS at the end Of small branches in clusters Of from ten to twenty. The tree belongs to the same family as the guaya. the pomegranate and the rose apple. The cloves are at first white, then light green. and at the time et gathering bright red. Pieces of white cloth are spread under the trees a. the harvesting time, and the branches are beaten gently with bamboo sticks until the cloves drop. They are dried in the sun being tossed about daily until they attain the rich dark color which proclaims them ready for s1ip- ment. 4 cloye tree bears at the age of about ten years. and continues IT, tI it reaches the age Of 75 years. There are two crops a year. one in June and the other in December. Hot weather Is favorable 10 the crop. although q little fng is said to improve the flavor New York Press.

Sage Advice.

It is not often that a lawyer gives better advice, and asks 10 fee for t. than was once given by certain Irish fudge, who must have had both a sense Of justice and a sense of humor. 4 turbulent peasant was witness in 8 trial before Chief Baron 0'Grady. The counsel, after pestering him for some time, put a question to him which re- feeted on the witness character. If ye ax me that again, I'll give ye a kickts was the answer.

MHEfng Them FFfsenfable-
 Bicyclists who have ridden much on the asphalt streets Of German cities gay that the tendency to side slip Is there much less marked than on sim liar pavements in this country. The explanation of this fact may possibly He in the statement which IS made by 9he American consul at Breslau that the asphalt streets in that city are regularly washed. the purpose Of the washing being to remove the slime which the asphalt seems to leave and so keep the street from being slippery. The washing has the further effect of preserving and hardening the asphalt. The care taken of the asphalt by khe city authorities contrasts strongly with the methods usually adopted in The United States. For instance. the space in front of the consulate is di- Fided into four squares, which are in charge or one man After cleaning fhs streets early In the morning la wheels out barrow load of very fine. sharp sand and seattFrs it lightly over the streets to prevent slipping. On sainy days the prt teess Is repeated sev- eraI times. Once ?. week the whole street Is sluieed and thoroughly washed with spFiHkiing carts. These are followed by ample roller brushes. which sweep the water and slime Into @he gutter, whence t is earted away After this the man who has charge of The street comes along with his wheel barrow and sand sprinkler. Tn spring or autumn, when the streets are often sloppy and wet, the washing fs done several times during the week.
 Captured a strang1lng Bug.
 One of the so-called strangling bugs Eaa captured in the county jail yard at Media. Pa, by Jail Warden Thomas s. Fields. Mr. Fields did not know of the bloodthirsty and dangerous char acter of his captive. but, judging by the looks of the insect that T. was danger aus. handled 1t carefully. He sue eeeded in brushing it into a glass far and few minutes afterward dropped live mouse into the jar to watch the result. The bug n minute made 2 sudden dash upon the neck of the mouse. and stung or bit 1t in such a way as to cause 1t to keel over dead, the bug hanging on to t and sucking its blood. MT Fields, mortified at hay ing such an insect in his possession. and without knowing that 1t was one Of the aliens from Africa. closed the jar tightly and smetherea 1t to death. t Is of dark brown color, about two and a half inches long. has a strong pair of wings, and is armed with a sharp pointed sucker" or sword. and two crab-like claws

Senator Lindsay, who came home from
