GREAT OIL DEMAND.

While il is estimated that the stocks of
oil in reservoirs and in tankage at the
close Of the year 1902 amounted to $780,
600 barrels, there are many reasons for
believing that consumption will so in
crease during the present year as TO make
a demand for much larger production
than has yet been recorded to the credit
of any year in this State The figures
concerning the oil fields of California dur
ing the year 1902 are supplied by the Pa
citc Oil Reporter Discussing the larger
demand for oil on the railways, the Re
porter says that the Southern Pacific
Company now has 504 locomotives burning
ell. Each locomotive consumes coo barrels
per month, 80 that this demand for oil
amounts in a year to 3,62S. 800 barrels. 1t
Is also estimated that when all the en-
gines owned by the Southern Pacific
Company are changed to burn oil they
will use annually 100000 barrels of crude
petroleum The Santa F'e engines are
expected TO burn 100000 barrels of oil
this year. Thus the two overland rail-
roads having termini at San Francisco
may alone require 100000 barrels for the
year 1893. which is equal TO the entire out
put of the State in 1901. In addition tC
the locomotives using fuel oil there are
reported to be III steam vessels burning
oil the Pacific Coast.

Would Not Touch the Piu.

A recent traveller in Somaliland
gives the following curious incident
showing the Mohammedan hatred for
pigs: 1--WE shot two wart hogs. one
particularly big boar. Alan wished
to keep the tusks, but, of course, none
of the Somalis would touch the un-
clean animal. AT last a bride of 2
rupees induced the Midgan woman to
chop the tusks out with a Ratchet.
Even then she would not touch them
and with the help of two sticks.
which she used like a pair of tongs,
put them on camel Then there was
long dispute about the Ratchet. No
one would touch it; it had been defil.
ed. OF course this was pure affectation
ana playing to the gallery on the
ayah's part. At home with her ma.
tive tribe she would have gorged all
the pig she could get But it fattered
the Somalis and we marched off. the
ayah holding the Ratchet at arms
length as if it were going to bite
her.

How goes the world with YOU old boy?
Has everything been breaking right?
Or has that fleeting phantom, JOY,
Danced nimbly just beyond your sight?
Think you it is an uphill fight
The fight you wage for gold or bays?
No matter-bid your heart be light.
And sing a song of better days.
What though associates enjoy
The pleasures of the sybarites-
The sweets with which you fain would
cloy
Your seldom pampered Appetite;
Though disappointments may invite
Your thoughts to grope in sorrows maze
Look to the stars beyond the night
Ard sing a song of better days
Dame Fortune sometimes loves to toy
Ere at the door she ends her flight:
Ulysses tarried long at Troy
Before it yielded to his might
The path that leads to yonder height
Winds through forbidden, rock strewn
ways.
But journey toward the summit white
And sing song of better days
Laugh at the moping cyncs fright,
Stand where the morning sunlight plavs
Pray that the future may be bright,
And sing song of better days

A fat man walked into the res

He grabbed a piece of bread that

it.
Then he looked for the bill of fare.
The ministerial looking man on his

leaned over on him and began reading
it too.
"How's them pork chops and apple
saucer" he mumbled between mouth
fuls of bread
Just then the waiter appeared with
a bowl of bean soup for a patron on
the other side of the table.

Whistler's Idea of the Trouble With
Modern Pictures

NfOaSih VICtQTCS.
James Abbott Mcneil Whistler was
man who lived to see the full devel-
opment of the myth about himself.
His name is linked with endless good
stories, many of them, of course,
apocryphal, but nearly all worth the
telling. Here is one of them:
When the artist was requested TO
paint a portrait of Carlyle for one
OF the leading cities in Scotland a
reputation of citizens called to confer
with him with regard to the work.
They first asked him how much he
wanted for it. "A thousand guineas. :"
he replied promptly. That's a Draw
price, Mr.. Whistler" said the spokes-
man with great earnestness, "a Draw
price for modern pectur For the
coolers in your modern PICTURES
GOont keep the coolers like your an
clent pecturs, mon; the coolers in
your modern pecturs fade, they fade,
mOn they fade" Whistler looked at
the group for a moment, then he
shook his head sadly and replied:
No, my dear sir, you are mistaken;
the colors in the modern pictures
don't fade. And therein lies their
damnation, Philadelphia Press.

Unconscious Humor That Gets Into

J. l.. Harbour, one of the editors cf
The Youths Companion and an
author. delights in porting the papers
for unconscious humor. He says that
descriptions of weddings are invaria
bly, funny, and among the instances
he cites is a paragraph which INDUCES
in eulogy concerning the bride and
bridegroom, and concludes with, We
wish them all happiness. for John is
one of our best young men, and so
is Mary" He also tells of the minute
descriptions OF gifts which are set
forth in rural papers on the occasion
of marriage, and says that in such
paper he found: The brides gift
to the groom was large hair wreath
made Of his family and hers.
Aunt Emma Leach presented the
couple with handsome motto, Fight

HAS A DANGEROUS CARGO.
Treasure Ship en- Route to PHILIPPINES
Not Pleasure Graft


The fifteen million coins made at
the Philadelphia mint for the Philip
pine Islands are now several days on
their way. They are aboard the
steamship Indraymo. They are IN
strange and dangerous company and
it is not eXaggerating one bit to sa!
that every one aboard the ship will
give a vOciferous Amen" when the
long voyaec is completed.
Manila is 10000 miles away and it
will take the Indraymo at least fifty
days to get there. Besides the coins,
here is what the vessel has in her
hold: Eight hundred cases of dyna-
mite and nigh-class black powder,
each case containing fifty pounds
seventeen cases of fuse. ten barrels
and qauntity of calcium carbide.
Will the slumbers of the crew be
peaceful upon this ship? 1t is not
likely. The explosives she carries are
enough to blow up the entire Philip
pine Islands. There will be no smok-
ing aboard lest a stray spark from
pipe or cigarette should find lodgment

off, for dynamite, oil and powder.

Evening Hymn.

To the sound of evening bells
All that lives to rest repairs,
Birds unto their leafy dells,
Beasts unto their forest lairs
All things wear d home-bound look,
From the weary hind that plods
Through the cornfieids, to the roof
Sailing towards the glmmering woods
It's the time with power to bring
fearful memories of home
To the sailor wandering
On the far-off barren foam
What a still and holy time
Yonder glowing sunset seems
Like the pathway to a cline
Only seen till now in dreams.
Pilgrim! here compelled to roam
Nor allowed that path to tread
Now when sweetest sense of home
On all living hearts is shed
Doth not yearning sad. sublime.
At this season stir thy breast
That thou canst not at this time
Seek thy home and happy rest?
