aow GLOVES ARE GATHERED
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. In this country and in Great Britain they are used almost wholly as a condiment, b@t in France they are used largely in the manufac ture of certain lqueurs. To some de gree they are employed in medicine for their tonic properties. The name eloYe is from the French elou. meaning a nail. The tree is an evergreen, grow ing from forty to fifty feet high, with large, oblong leaves and crimson flow CTS at5the end of small branches in clusters Of from ten to twenty. The tree belongs to the same family as the guava, the pomegranate and the rose apple The cloves are at first white, then light green, and at the time ot gathering bright red. Pieces of white cloth are spread under the trees at 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 RRtil they attain the rich dark color which proelaims them ready for snip ment. A clove tree bears at the age of about ten years, and continues un- til it reaches the age of 75 years. There are two crops year, one in June anG the other in December. Hot weather is favorable to the crop, although little fog is said to improve the faYof ,-New York Press.

comparisons show It to Be Very
 Large Affair.
 The earth on which we stand is. no doubt mighty globe, measuring as it does S.000 miles in diameter. yet what are its dimensions in comparison with those of the sun? If the earth be rep resented by grain of mustard seed, then on the same scale the sun should he represented by coeoanut. Per haps, however, more impressive con. ception of the dimensions of the great orb of day may be obtained in this way: Think of the moon, the queen of the night, which circles monthly around our heavens, pursuing as she does a majestic track at distance Of 240,000 miles from the earth. Yet the sun is so vast that if it were a hollow ball the moon could reyolve in the or bit which it now follows and still be entirely inelesed within the suns in terior, For every acre on the surface of our globe there are more than 10. 00G acres on the surface of the great lum- mary. Every portion Of this illimit~ able desert of flame is pouring forth torrents of heat. It has, indeed, been estimated that if the heat which is in cessantiy flowing through any single square foot of the suns exterior could be collected and applied beneath the boilers of an Atlantic liner. it would suffice to produce steam enough to sus- tain in continuous movement those eD- zines of S0,000-horse power which en- able a superb ship to break the record between Ireland and Ameriea.-Pear. sons Weekly.

Asphalt Pavements May Be Made from
 These Substances.
 The notice of making asphalt arti- tieially from herrings and sawdust seems so extraordinary as to suggest burlesque. Nevertheless, this surpris- ing feat has been accomplished by Pref " C. Day of Swarthmore college. sr Philadelphia. Specimens of the p.e9ue. are now in possession of the geol cal survey in Washington. and were shown to a Washington corre- spondent by Prof. Diller, one of the members of the scientific staff of that government bureau. Not long ago a very curious mineral substance, up to that time unknown, was found in Utah, deposited in veins which had once been Assures in the rocks. These Assures had been choked up by bitu- minous matter gushing from the bow els of the earth, and in this way the deposits of gilsonite, as it is now called, were formed. It is singu- iarly pure species of asphalt, and is now being mined in Ia ~ge way, the production of 1t constituting an im- portant industry. The stuff is used for making garnishes For this purpose 1t is especially good, because yarnishes made of it will no: crack. Conspieu- ous streaks of the gilsonite run like strips of ribbon over hill and dale, so that they can be followed with the eye for miles, Some Of this gum aSnhaIf " as if is nonuIar1y called waS placed in the hands Of Prof. Day for analysis, and he found that it's ma1es up was such as to suggest an animal origin, at least in part It is | tte9ed nowadays by scientific men generally that asphalts ordinarily are derived from vegetable matter. Such natter, being laid down in vast beds during the coal-forming period. subsequently underwent chemical processes.

mouth should be Of good natural az
mansions, as well as plump in the lips
When the ancients among their beau
ties, made mention of small mouths
and lips, they meant small only as op-
posed to an excess the other way, a
fault very com@mon in the South. las
sayings in favor Of small mouths,
which have been the ruin Of SO many
pretty looks, are very absurd. If there
must be an excess either way, it ha1
better be the liberal one. A pretty,
pursed-up mouth is fit for nothing but
to be left to it's complacency. Large
mouths are oftener found in union
with generous dispositions than very
small ones. Beauty should have neitt-
er, but a reasonable look of openness
and delicacy. 1t has an elegance in
lips, when, instead OF making sharp
angles at the corner of the mouth, they
retain certain breadth to the very
verge, and show the red. The corner
then looks painted with a free and
liberal pencil.

THE COURAGE Of a COWBOY.
Swings Himself and Horse Across a Chasn
By a Rope.

Swings Himself and Horse Across a Chasm
BY a Rope.
"Speaking of the daredevil charac-
teristicS of Western cowboys" said
an old plainsman, Il recall an adven-
ture that might have proved fatal to
myself and a man named Henry, but
for the great presence Of mind dis
played in an emergency by my cool
headed companion. The incident hap
pened in Montana three years ago last
spring. We were travelling along a
narrow trail on the border of the
Grande ROnde River, when we sud
denly came to a landslide that was
about twenty-five feet across and left
no trail in the smooth, precipitOus
rock. The trail was so narrow that
our horses could not turn back, and,
realizing that it would be folly to eX-
pect the animals to jump the chasm.
it looked as though we were trapped.
But directly above the twenty-five foot
break in the trail there was a huge
rock which was split in the centre.
Henry saw the crack in the rock, and
having a strong RATA seventy feet long
on his saddle he cOiled it up, Steadied
himself in his saddle, swung the rope
over his head and then hurled it high
in the air. Being an expert in the use
of the RATA. it went true to the mark,
and was soon firmly fixed in the GREY
ice Of the rock.
while l was wondering what he
was going to do with the rope, he took
in the slack and wound it around the
horn of his saddle, which was very
strong and supplied with double
cinches. Then he urged his horse to
the edge Of the precipice.
The faithful beast stood firm. He
would not step over. but Henry again
drew up the slack and pulled with all
his might Inch by inch he drew the
straining horse forward till his :eet
slipped and he swung over the yawn-
ing chasm. For a moment, I held my
breath and closed my eyes, expecting
to hear the slender rope snap and it's
burden disappear into the raging
water below.
w HSA L tIu Opeu LILY eyes lie udu
swung across the gap, and, dismount-
ing, he backed up the trail, and tugged
at the reins to aid the horse in gaining
his feet. Re pulled hard and the ami
NAL lungel Ut into the trail, with the
chasm far behind.
''Safe on the other side, Henry urged
me to make the perilous trip in the
same way as he had done. For some
time 1 couldn't muster up the neces.
sary courage, but at last, when 1 real
lied that there was no other way Of
continuing the journey, consented to
swing myself across the chasm. After
landing on the other side Henry re-
turned for my horse, and having
swung the beast safely across the gap,
we rode away and left the rope dang
ling for the use of the next wayfarer

BLAINE'S GRAVE.
Plain Monument Erected Over His
Last Resting Place.

A Plain Monument Erected Over Hia
Last Resting Place.
The shattered oak which for about
six years marked the grave of James
G. Blaine in Oak Hill cemetery, has
been replaced by simply inscribed
| headstone, duplicate of one which
was placed over the grave of Walker
Blaine, the great statesman's favorite
| son.
In 1890, after the sad death of Walk
| er Blaine, and while the body was still
| lying in the historic old mansion in
Madison place, Mr.. Blaine, accompan-
| led by friend. went to Oak Hill GEM
etery to select a lot. The sad duty
intensified the grief which the death
Of his son had caused, and he talked
in melancholy strain Of the tricks
which had checked his ambition and
deprived him of the hope OF perpetu-
ating his name.
In the eastern part of the cemetery,
half way down the terrace on the
with picturesque view to the north
east, and, in the centre, gnarled and
twisted oak tree. blasted and dead.
Mr.. Blaine pointed out the tree with
its lifeless branches. and remarked
than it aptly represented his own
blasted hopes. He took the lot and
asked that nothing but the solitary
tree should mark his own grave.
The remains of Walter Blaine were
buried in the lot and later. it received
the body of Mrs. Coppinger, wife Of
General Coppinger, and daughter Of
Mr. Blaine Simple headstones mark
ed their graves, and the space by the
tree was reserved for the body of the
Maine statesman.
During his illness. which began in
Novemb Der, 1892, Mr.. Blaine, anticipat-
ing the end, again made the request
that his body be laid beside the tree,
with no other mark to indicate his last
resting place. His wish was faithful
ly observed, and after his death, in
January, 1893, his remains were quietly
conveyed to the cemetery and privately
inferred, with the stricken tree for a
gloomy sentinel.
The old tree stood until last winter,
when, during heavy storm, 1t was so
badly shattered as to deprive it of it's
melancholy beauty. The friends Of Mr..
Blaine were anxious that some suit
able memorial be placed at the head
of the grave, and, after carefully con-
sidering the matter, Mrs. Blaine decid-
ed about six months ago to have a du-
plicate made of the headstone which
marked the grave of Walker Blaine.
With great care suitable block of
Vermont marble was selected and the
monument completed. 1t is eight feet
high and of the simplest design. 1t is
devoid of any ornamentation and bears
the simple inscriptions:
