of the work is at present confined to
that portion of the road between
Charlton and Creston.

The Prince of W ales' Income.

The truth is that from the moment of his birth the Prince of Wales has been splendidly rich. He was born, as the Irishman would say, with G6O,- GOO year in his pocket, and from that day to this the Duchy of Cornwall has yielded him that magnificent sum. At % the Prince married, ard Parlio- ment gave him Marlborough House and a wedding present of &40,000 year. That, too. has come t. him reg uiarly since 1863, year in and year out. In 1889: when the Prince s family ran away with his money. Parliament once more came to his aid and nearly doubled the grant he had received since 1863. From 1889 the Prince has been relieved of the anxiety of father for the financial welfare of his chil- dren by special grant of e36, ,O00 a year, which comes to him in quarterly installments of G9000. So that the public income of the Price is &l36,OO0 year. That is what it is worth to be Prince of Wales. Temple Magazine.

The Shortest Day.

The Moqui Indians always observe the shortest day of the year with re- ligious ceremonies, and they are able to tell accurately when that day is approaching as well as the day itself. Their plan is simple but certain and is as follows: It is known that the Moqui Indians live on high mesas or table lands, far beyond which are other mesas which occasionally have pointed peaks or crags, extending up above the general level of the mesa. Two of these peaks across the wide valley are selected, between which the sun will appear to rise on the shortest day, if observed from given house top, the peaks and point of observance having been selected after the experience of many years. Several days before the winter solstice arrives priest is posted on the house top before the sun comes up, who announces in a loud voice to the populacs the progress made by the sun each day as 1t rises, toward the forks of the peaks. When the event fal day comes and the greatest god of al, to them. shows his face from be- tween the crags, his duties for the time being are ag an end, and the tom tom calls the people from far and near 10 dance and feast.-Selected.

Best Debaters in Congress.

"The best debaters in the senate are Chandler, of New Hampshire, and SpOOner, of Wisconsin. Chandler is the keener and more caustic of the two. Spooner has the advantage in the spec tacular surprises of a running debate. Chandler is more feared as an oppo- nent than any other man. He has a genius for dis covering the vulnerable point in the enemy's armor, and he IS merciless in sending bis weapon home. Both he and Spooner are invariably good-natured Neither of them was ever known to lose his temper in de- bate. The best debaters in the House are Cannon, of Illinois, and Moody, of Massachusetts s.-Ainslee's Magazine.

Aluminium vs. Lithograph Stone.

"Very tewof the cumbrous and heavy blue-gray limestones which were once considered indispensable for litho- graphic printing are used at present, observed dealer in lithographers' materials to Star reporter recently. Nowadays most of the color printing is done from aluminium plates, which have been utilized for the purpose since 1896 In that year the owners Of the quarries in Solnhofen, Bavaria, where the finest quality of stone had been found, discovered that the supply of large stones were getting remark ably scarce on their properties, and a German lithographer in looking for a substitute for the stone happened to try aluminium. His experiments with the metal were satisfactory, and alu- minum soon found another field.
 "The metal lithographic plates are now made in this country, where they can be obtained in any desIred sizes. They are much lighter and from 40 to 50 per cent cheaper than the massive stone slabs. Another, and perhaps the greatest, advantage which the metal plates possess, is that they can be made so thin and pliable that they can be bent into circular form and printed or rotary presses. D.
