Ancient MHHondireS.

A writer in a Jewish magazine has
been looking into the Agadic history Of
the Talmud, and believes that there
were richer men before the Christian
era than there are now. We know that
Croesus was rich. and that there were
huge Roman fortunes in the times Of
the empire. The Talmud stories go
back further still. The great corner
in corn that Joseph managed.was fabu-
lously profitable. Tradition says that
Joseph. acting for Pharaoh, got his
hands on pretty much all the ready
money there was in his day, and buried
three enorgmous treasures, one of
which was found by Korah, whose for
tune, estimated according 10 the mod
ern standards of value, is rated by the
magazine at three billion dollars. Solo
mons stable, with it's horses, chariots
and horsemen, is said to have repre-
sented sum the modern equivalent of
which would be three or four hundred
millions, and he spent two hundred and
temple cost more still. In Jerusalem
in Roman times there were three Jews,
who between them, felt able to face
an expenditure of a hundred millions a
year for twenty-one years. They
offered to feed the million inhabitants
of Jerusalem for that length of time
rather than surrender the city. One of

Clemens III Italy.

At the Villa di Quarto Mr.. Clemens
daughters take long rides under the
shade of the great old trees that over
hang the broad and easy groads. They
are both accomplished and ardent
horsewomen. Miss Jean has recently
bought a superb white horse. Her sis
ter, Miss Clara, has beautiful voice,
and sings with exquisite grace. On
the Sth of April she took part in a con-
cert given by the Philharmonic Society
Of Florence, and made d deep impress
sion on the audience. The possession
of two such daughters is a great COM
fort TO Mr.. Clemens. They go every
where with him, surround him with
affectionate attentions and take gentle
and tender care of him. Miss Jean,
for instance, helps her father not a
little with his daily work When he
does not dictate, he leaves little sheets
Of manuscript scattered everywhere; it
is Miss Jeans task to collect and ar
range them and then to copy them on
the typewriter. Mark Twain's cor
respondence is naturally very large. A
man is employed 10 go into Florence
twice a day to bring the mail. and
always returns loaded down with let
ters, papers and books.
It is uncertain how long the famous
humerist viii remain in Italy. His
lease of the Villa di Quarto is only for
a year, but Signora Marsili the owner
thinks that he will renew it when it
expires, since he is SO well and COM
Portable in Florence, ana since his
wifes health has already shown a
marked Improvement.
Mrs. Clemens, his faithful companion
for twenty-five years, unlike her hus-
band, is an enthusiastic student of the
masterpieces of art and of historical
associations. Mark Twain has his own
ideas about art, which are a subject of
frequent controversy with his wife.

OUR PRUNE EXPORTS.

IN a recent report to the Department of Commerce
| and Labor at Washington A. NJ Thackara, United
States Consul at Havre France sounds note of warn
ing California prune exporters He declares that
the greatly increased sale of prunes abroad has
suited fraudulent methods of trade the part of
unscrupulous fruit packers which have served to under
mine the confidence of French importers OF prunes
and bring the price OF the products down the
level of the spurious qualities that shipped abroad
under false labels and III unfair weights.
"a serious abuse which has crept into the trade says
Consul Thackara is the selling and branding Santa
Clara prunes fruit which grown in other districts
This fruit is of inferior quality and be purchased
for considerably less than the genuine Santa Clara
product The difficulty of detecting the fraud has facil
tated this dishonest trade but the result will undoubtedly
be that Clara district will only lose its repu-
tation but also the premium which its prunes have
hitherto commanded"
This warning of Consul should demand the imme-
date attention of all our who desire
hold to the very successful market which they have
established for their product in France Not only has
the Santa Clara prune already forced itself into strong
competition with the French fruit in markets but
in the land the French prune itself the California
product is becoming dangerous rival. During the year
1908 5244I3 boxes of California prunes imported
into Havre up March 20 the date of Consul Thacl-
aras report 285ooo boxes mark the trade of the first
few months of this year at that port Such favorable
aspects of trade should not be allowed be bighted
by the methods of INSCRIPTIONS packers here.
AS was the expedent of the New York cheese makers
whose brands being used inferior products
of the Middle West Santa Clara prune packers should
appeal for careful system of inspection and proper
labelling of all dried prunes shipped of California
in order that their fruits may not be cheapened by
inferior limitations flooding the foreign market Should
the Santa Clara producers be able detect the parties
responsible for the fraud speedy legal proceedings should
be employed by them order that their label may con-
tnue be the guarantee of high value in the markets
of France The continued of their trade with
foreign markets depends speedy and efficient

HOqv a Spider Thinks.

If you anchor pole in a Body OF
water, leaving the pole above the sur
face, and put a spider upon II, he will
exhibit a marvellous intelligence by his
plans to escape. At first he will spin
a web several inches long and hang
to one end while he allows the other
to float off in the wind in the hope
that it will strike some object. OF
course, this plan proves failure. de
waits until the wind shifts, perhaps
and then sends another silken bridg5
floating off in another direction. An
other failure is followed by several
other similar attempts, until all ths
points of the compass have been tried
But neither the resources nor the rea-
sOning powers of the spider are ex-
hausted. He climbs to the top of the
pole and energeticaly goes to work to
construct a silken balloon. He has no
hot air with which to initiate 1t, but he
has the power Of making it buOyant.
When he gets his balloon finished he
does not go off upon the mere suppO-
sition that it will carry him, as men
often do. but he fastens it to a guy
rope, the other end of which he st-
taches to the island pole upon which
he is a prisoner. He then gets into his
aerial vehicle, while it is made fast,
and tests it to see whether its dimen-
sionse are capable of bearing him
away. He sometimes finds that he has
made it too small, in which case he
hauls it down, takes it all apart, and
constructs it on a larger and better
plan. A spider has been seen to make
three different balloons before he be-
came satisfied with his experiment
Then he will get in snap his guy-rope,
and sail away to land as gracefully and
as supremely independent Of his sur
roundings as could we'll be ina agined.-

Magazine.

Social Amenities.

One of the favorite charges against
New Workers is that they are inhos-
pitable; that having received courtesy
in some smaller city, they are apt ID
forget it when their late hosts visit the
metropolis There is undoubtedly ms
tice in the charge, and yet how are
ladies who are never in their own
houses during the daylight hours 20
entertain their acquaintances there?
Or how can they, engaged six weeks
ahead, find an evening for people who
are to be perhaps two weeks in town?
The answer that they could find time
if they wanted to is true enough, bHE
what a fabulous amount of wanting
would be implied! Ladies who see their
children passing through the halls, and
their husbands in the carriage gong
out to dinner, and their mothers On'y
when the old lady is brisk enough TO
drop in before II, can scarcely be eX-
pected to put the stars in passion
in order to get a glimpse Of a casual
stranger, who once asked them to 1ine
in another city They might, you say,
give up one of their engagements; but
consider what you are asking them
to give up; musical to hear he
worlds great artists, or a dinner with
a semi-royaIty-a something too
good to sacrifice, something which It
would be a lifelong regret to have
nissed.-Fron "The Social Side of New
York" In the June Ainslee-s.

Sno1ubaHS and Roses.

Although California is the land Of
flowers to which snowballing, except in
the mountains, generally is forbidden,
exceptions to the rule may be COM
PEELED. Such an exception, during the
past winter, or rainy season, was wit
messed in San Jose. One OF the stage
drivers to and from Mount Hamilton
brought from there a barrel carefully
packed with snow, and presented it to
the pupils Of the Cant school in the
Garden City. Then the fun began.
Most of the children had not seen
snow before except on the distant
mountain SUBMITS. They wanted to
SNOWFALL, but they didn't know how,
and they approached the problem ten
tatively. And-here is the crowning
absurdity of the situation-some of
their teachers didn't know how to
teach them; although they were adults.
never before had they come in con-
tact with snow. Some of the little
chaps, after cautious investigation, de-
clared that the strange white stuff
burned their fingers, ii was so hot, and
others, who had read or been told
about II, feared that their hands
would be frozen by the first contact
with It, The experimental stage soon
was past, however, and then the fun
was fast and furious. It was such
ecstasy as Eastern children know, with
the zest Of novelty added to It. For a
brief time school traditions and the
proprieties maintained between teach
ers and pupils were thrown to the
winds, and there was none so high or
so low that SNOWFALL might not batter
him when least expected. The white
missiles whizzed through bushes laden
with roses or clipped the stately Gala
lilies from their stems as a knife might
have done. It was a touch of winter
introduced into a garden of bloom and
beauty, and, ah, but the boys, big and
little, enjoyed it. For all of which
some sort Of reverence might be done
to the Mount Hamilton stagedrive--
he has not forgotten that he once was
a boy.-Sunset Magazine for June.

will have the advantage of following the ST Louis Ex-

we owe to Portland the moral and material support
which should prevail between good neighbors. We
should aid her in presenting the best side to visitors at
her reception and that end should send of fruits,
flowers and many other good things. In short must
recognize the fact that far the East is concerned
