TO PATRIOTS OF '76

The 127th anniversary, OF the Mary
and patriots stand against the British
'tamp Act, when they burned the ship
'eggy Stewart and its cargo of tea in
he harbor of Annapolis, is known
throughout Maryland as Peggy Stew
mt day, and in commemoration of 1t a.
plendid monument to the
evolutionary heroes was unveiled in
Baltimore the other day under the
Iuspices OF the National Society Of the
Sons Of the American Revolution.
The destruction Of the Peggy Stew
trt and her cargo Of tea was one of
he most stirring acts Of the revolu-
1onary period. Following closely upon
he heels Of the stamp act it not only
tung English pride, but aroused the
pirits of the Maryland colonists to q
lighting pitch. It is contended by Mary
anders that the destruction of the
Peggy Stewart is of as signal interest
% the country as the Boston Tea Par
y. They contend that while the men
Who tossed the tea overheard in Bos-
ON harbor were disguised as Indians

Venezuelan Pearls.

When the Spanish discovered Vene-
Euela they found the natives wearing
pearls for ornament and the fishery
Is still fourishing today. More than
400 boats are employed in the work,
each one paying about SO per year to
the government The pearls are Of
fne quality, usually white or yellow
and rarely black. Only recently a
white pearl valued at $4,000 was found.
The shell of the pearl oyster of Vene-
zuela is small and of poor quality. The
oysters themselves are short lived
eight years or so. A French company
has lately been formed to exploit the
fisheries by means of divers, who take
only the mature shells and leave the
smaller sort3, SO that the beds will not
be exhausted. The annual output Of
these fisheries is about 100000 and it
K; said that most Of the pearls are sold
In Paris.

Early Asphalt Roads,

History and tradition have furnished
us with the basic information which
has guided US in building the ciyiliza-
ton Of today. 1t is said that in pre-
historic times the Incas of Peru built
roads that extended from the ironically
heated valleys up the mountains to
the regions of perpetual frost, using
the natural asphalt rock, and these
roads are in good condition today. The
discovery Of large section in Ken
lucky covered with asphalt rock, which
scientists have pronounced a perfect
and natural combination of asphalt and
quartz, sand, most valuable for paving
purposes, and far superior to any ar
tificial combination that could be made
Is of vital Importance. The day may
not be far distant when every city and
village will have all streets paved with
asphalt rock, a material which is not
only the most durable, but Clearly and
noiseless.--American Asphalt Journal.

Publicity for Corporations.

In Great Britain the corporation
laws provide for a great degree Of
publicity in connection with promo
ton of corporations and their regular
management. There is a like degree
of publicity for corporations in France.
Germany and Austria, and in these
latter countries there are such rigid
provisions regarding the valuation Of
property, and reports of promoters
and directors, that stock watering, in
the ordinary sense Of the expression
as used in the United States, Is al
most, IL not quite, an impossibility

POWER OF BUDDHIST PRIESTS,
Their Responsibility for the Fearful
Boxer Movement in China,

Their Responsibility for the Fearful
Boxer Movement In China.
Buddhist priests were the instigators
Of the horrible Boxer uprising In Chi
"a and one Of the aids they invoked
IN goading the Boxers to violence was
hypnotism. These priests exercise a
great influence and are regarded in
he light of miracle workers. Their
most extravagant statements are re-
eeived with implicit belief. They as
sured the Boxers that they were invul-
nerable and that the bullets Of the
foreign devils could not injure them.
How they put their knowledge Of hyp-
notism into effect Is thus narrated by
A. Henry Savage Lander:
"The usual malicious stories were
circulated in Boxers placards Of for
eigners kidnapping children to turn
them into soup or pound them into
Jelly, which, as medicine, became en-
lowed, after 1t had undergone the
further process of drying in the sun,
with marvellous strengthening quail
lies. Foreign doctors were also accused
Of plucking out the eyes of people un-
awares. Foreign devils, II was de-
;lared, then ground these eyes into
lust and used them in their occult arts.
Most of these absurd rumors were
probably originated by natives who
had seen surgical operations performed
IN mission hospitals. The kidnapping of
children was invariably the first ac-
.usation brought against the foreign
lrs, and whenever riots occurred
against white devils the instlgators
naliciously did away with the number
If little unfortunates, and then held
foreigners responsible for their disap-
pearanee. The Buddhist monks, how
ever, In the Boxer movement, had de-
Vised slight variation in the detail.
They were very adept at hypnotism,
and awaited themselves Of this power
20 impress the masses. They hyp-
Noticed young boys, and then at night
left them in a state Of catalepsy in
some thoroughfare. When a sufficient
crowd had collected around these in
sensible creatures the monks duly ap-
oeared and pointed out the actual
proof Of the evil doings Of the foreign
er.' The crowd having been worked
INTO a state of frenzy, the boys appar
entity dead, would be restored to life
by the monks (they said 'resuscitatedO,
and the bystanders would be thus
iurther convinced that, whatever dew
lltry foreigners might perpetrate, Bud
hist monks had always the power to
naks thinss good.

King Edward and Gar Nicholas Have
Several Royal Chairs.

King Edward and Gear Nicholas Have
Several Royal Chairs.
Great Britain has no distinctive ana
exclusive throne. Instead, there are
four-the wooden chair, with the slab
Of Scotch stone in Westminster Alb
hey, which has served as the corona
tion seat Of the menarchs of this
realm for seven centuries; the sump.
tuous chair Of state In the House Of
Lords; the chair on which the late
queen sat when holding a drawing
room in Buckingham palace, and the
gilt arm chair at Windsor, In which
the sovereign sits to receive letters OF
credence or recall from foreign ENJOYS,
or accord audience to dusky poten-
tates.
The Gear of Russia is even more
adversely throned. Each Of dozen
chairs of state are at various times
styled the Russian throne. The two
most remarkable are the chairs Of Ivan
the Terrible and the one In st.
Georges Hall Of the Winter Palace
at st. Petersburg. The former is Of
turquoises. In the back alone there
are 10000 Of these gems. The other
chair is of costly woods, with ivory
and gold, richly jeweled, and embossed
with the imperial eagle. The seat is OF
ermine, and the arms are ivory tusks.
Further east, in Teheran, the Shah
displays himself on white marble
throne looted from Delhi in 1888. 1t
is Of ivory, overlaid with gold, and
ablaze with gems, its value being esti-
mated at over G1,000,000.

"Baby Mine" Elected Him.

Isaac W. Van Shack, who died re-
Gently in Maryland at the age of "a,
was one of the most notable characters
that ever claimed Milwaukee as home,
and 1t was from that city that he was
twice elected to Congress, and he could
have gone oftener had he SO desired.
"Baby Mine" was the song that elect
ed him the time he ran for Congress-.
In the outer wards of the city-in the
thickly populated districts where the
Polish voters liye-he visited the hum
BILE homes and handled the children on
his knee, jollied the mothers and sang
Baby Mine" to the babies. He sang
it on the floor of the Chamber of Com
merce when trading was dull. Every
where he went he was called upon for
his favorite song and never failed to
respond.
