4 Claim tbe World Couldn't Pay.

Since 1340 the family of PeruZZi have been claiming e, 100000, with accumulated interest. from the Brit ish government. The present claim ants are the descendants of the great Peruzzis, who were in the Middle Ages one of the biggest banking fiji ms in the world.
 The wars with Scotland had cost King Edward III big sum of money and when he concluded to make war on France he was compelled to apply to the head of the Peruzzi family, with whom he was on very intimate terms. He obtained G2,400000. The PeruZZis wanted the money after a few years had passed, and sent to King Edward for it.
 But that monarch begged them not to mention the subject again. He eventually postponed payment for an indefinite period. and for this master piece of policy he was looked upon by the people as a genius.
 Many of the descendants of the Pc ruzzi family still live in Italy, and since 1340 they have kept up com munication with the British govern ment on the matter Of their little bill But even at a very moderate rate of interest the sum of G2,400,000 bor- rowed in 1340 would now have reached such colossal proportions that if the wealth of the world were gathered together it would not be suf- ficient to pay half of it. The total would run into twenty-five figures Tit-Bits.

Mesquite Coffee.

The following yarn, from the Albu- for what it is worth" It is fact that the mesquite tree, which is the chief growth throughout a large DOT tion of the desert area of the South west, furnishes a bean which is of much value to the Indians, and to cattle, which browse upon it;
 "A company is said to have been organized in Arizona recently for the exploitation of the mesquite bean as a substitute for coffee and as food product. The head of the company claims that after years of eXperimenC- ing, he has discovered process of treating the mesquite bean, which gives it a flavor closely resembling that of coffee, and that by another process, he can convert the bean into a tirst-class substitute for cornmeai As beverage he declares that the mesquite bean has all the stimulating effects of coffee. and people who have tried the liquid made from the plant by the natives will be willing to go a little farther and declare that the stuff beats coffee all hollow as a stim- ulant. This new company may have solved the problem of what to do with the deserts. All the mesquite wants is plenty of sand and total absence of moisture. The plant will do the rest. It will be looked upon with some suspicion as a substitute for coffee. The mesquite bean, though. has been known for quite while to have a certain value as food product, when everything else runs out, The Pimas and the Papa goes dry the beans, and grind them into coarse flour. At least they used to before they had any other re sources. They used the flour as a last resort.
 Mesquite farming would present it's interesting features. On a large scale it ought to pay, after the pub lie has been educated up to the point where it will retire cornbread and make the family hoe-cake out of mes quite flour The land to grow the plants could be bought at a fairly reasonable figure and it might pay a man who can stand the climate to buy up the Mohave Desert and try it for a while"

A Noted Improvement.

The widening of the Mussy grade under the supervision of Supervisor Jasper is a noted improvement in that portion of the county, and when complete will be highly appreciated by the constantly travelling public. In the Imperial country Mir Jasper is arranging for bridges that cross the laterals, of the irrigation ditches, which are twelve feet wide on the bottom and six feet deep, and when filled with water can only be crossed by bridges; the road to Yuma is also in progress of construction, making in all lively work in the new terri tory. Good roads are the needed ad- juncts of a pushing civilization, and the board of supervisors at every point are using considerate judgment in construction improvement and eX- tension.-San Diego Sun.

Ihere were no Prohibition caucuses
held last evening In this city although
the leaders of the party had decided to
hold caucuses last night, but this was
due to the fact the party managers, or

city clerk that the use Of the ward rooms
OF the city was required. Because Of
this fact the party will not have delegates
present at the state and congressional con-

opinion that the orthodox faith is good enough

sole object is to convert Hebrews and paganS
This was what a Swedish missionary re-
Gently said when Menelik before whom he
was summoned, inquired as to the object Of
his visit When he heard it the ruler askeds
What countries were you obliged to cross
in order to come here?
Germany, Egypt and the soudan,'' replied
the missionary
And were you not able to And in Germany
any Hebrews whom you might have cons

| The missionary was obliged to admit thai

An hour later the disappointed missionary
