An Unique Monument.

Monuments there are, to commem- crate all kinds of sentiments from those of the greatest splendor and beauty, to those of the simplest and humblest, from the glorious Tai Hahal of India, to the slip of shingle placed by little child in it's garden, to com memorate the loss of some little pet. In the woods, which form part of the demeSne of the Earls of Darnley; whose seat is at Cobham Hall, Kent, England, there stands q monument which perhaps is unique, and is known locally as the "Toe Monument" The present Earl's great grandfather while walking in his woods, came across a woOd-chopper at work, on the site of this strange monument. The Earl took exception to the way the man was doing his work, and taking the ax for the purpose, undertook to show him the right way. He made one cut, and severed the big toe from one of his feet. He was carried with all pos sible haste to the Hall; doctors sent for, but in spite of all aid he died of lockjaw the next day. The "Toe Mon- ument" was erected by his successor to mark the site of the fatal accident. Moral: "Ne sutor ultra crepidam."

Worlds Stock of Gold.

The amount of gold in Europe when America was discovered is believed not to have exceeded $225, 100000. In the 4O4 years until 1896 the worlds production is estimated at 5000, ,00O,- 0OO-half of which was added to the money supply. Including the esti- mate for 1905, in the ten years begin ming with 1896, nearly $3,OO0,OO0, 900 in gold has been mined-almost a third as much as during the preced- ing 404 years. This despite the fact that the Boer war tor two years closed the Transvaal mines. The production in 1903 was $325OOO,OOO; in 1904, $35O, 100000 and for 1905 it is esti- mated at $4OO,0OO,OOO. The worlds stock of money gold in 1897 was ap- proximately four and quarter bill lions. By the end of the present year 1t is estimated that it will be almost six billions-an increase of nearly 50 per cent in nine years.

Shot by the Law of War.

1.-The solemnity of a military execu- tion is about the most impressive and dramatic act that is known in human affairs," said Captain w. B. Penning- ton of San Francisco. "These fea- lures appeal to the witnesses of the tragedy in forceful way, and no man who has ever seen one can banish it from his memory.
 q had young friend in California who enlisted in the union army at the same time with myself, and, coming East, we were placed in the same com pany. This young fellow fell in love with Virginia girl and under her in- fluence deserted to the enemy A few days afterwards he was captured and, being easily recognized, was con- demned to be. shot.
 "He had fought like a demon in the engagement which resulted in his be- ing made prisoner, for he knew well what his fate would be if taken. His execution was the most mournful cere- mony I ever witnessed, and nothing ever seen on the stage was more the atrical-the procession to the scene of death, the band in advance playing a dirge, the coffin with the prisoner upon it, the guard in the rear and brigade of cavalry formed in hollow square.
 "The condemned man, sitting on his coffin, met his fate like hero, with out exhibiting a tremor of fear, and those who witnessed his death were far more excited than he. It seemed a sad thing that such courageous lad should be sacrificed, but it is one of the necessities of war, and this terri ble punishment was necessary to de- ter others from playing the role of traitor" r."-Washingto Post.

CURIOUS WEDDING CUSTOM.
In Roumania Bride Walks Over Silver
 Bridge to Grooms Arms.

Tn Roumania Bride Walks Over Silver
 Bridge to Grooms Arms.
 At Roumanian weddings 1t is the custom at the wedding feast for the groom to receive his bride over a bridge of silver.
 Coins are placed in a double row across the table, and over this the bride daintily steps to her husbands waiting arms.
 The ceremony of laying the bridge is one of the interesting events of the wedding feast following the religious ceremony.
 When the guests are brought to a proper spirit of festivity by the good cheer at the board space at the head of the table is cleared and from bag are drawn silver coins procured for the purpose, the proper provision being the production of coins fresh from the mint.
 These are laid in double row across the table, and when all is ready the father of the groom makes speech to his son, admonishing him to see that his brides way through life is always paved with silver.
 A proper response is made, and, mounting chair, the elder man swings the bride lightly to the table. Care fully avoiding the displacing of coin (for that would mean bad lucky, the girl makes her way across the short silver pathway and leaps into the arms of her spouse.-New York Herald.

WONDERS OF A BIG HARBoR.
Pier After Pier Where Steamers from
 Every Port Are Tied.

To present to the mind an easily conjured picture of New York har- bor one might make the comparison of the upturned right hand, with the long straight forefnger for the lower stretch of the Hudson, while the thumb, joint turned out, standing for the bent East river, and the palm of the hand representing upper New York bay, says Harper's. The three together make up the harbor of New York. As Hudson river shelters most of the North Atlantic liners while in port, so does East river harbor those that go to make up the truly foreign fleets. Here they are, pier after pier of them-the steamers that go to the far countries. Mind the roll-Brazil, Argentine, Chile, Peru, west coast of Africa, Australia, India, China, Japan. And hark again to the call of the ports Rio Janeiro, Buenos Ayres, Valpa- raiso, St. Paul de Loanda, Cape Town, Tamatave, Sydney, Singapore, Hong kong, Yokohama. And the strange stuff of their cargoes-rubber from the Amazon swamps-see the naked In dians tapping the trees and the slimy reptiles in the shadowy ooze-horn and tallow from the pampas-mark the centaur-like vaquero and his whirling riata-gold dust, ivory, palm oil from the west coast. Dreams for you there! Palm oil and gold dust and ivory; ele- plants and sacrifcial fires and trains of captive slaves; hemp, tea, silks and smuggled opium-and do not believe that opium is not smuggled into New York harbor to this day. You think of all that and your imagination flames.
 The gentlemen in the pilot houses are not always in placid moods. Wild. eyed men glare from pilot houses aloft, like eagles from their eyries, and pass the time of day. Says one: "Where |d' y think you're going? Back, will youw
 And the other: Back? Me back? MeY
 You! Yes, you - you slop-eyed, slack mouthed, spine-twisted, fresh water goob-you square-head, father less" And so on, detailing irremedi- able flaws in the genealogy, after which both back down and avert the impending collision.

High Time,
together.

Every one knows that nerves are delicate things, easily disturbed and difficult to keep in order. MT. Under foot, loyal husband that he was, had learned this lesson.
 "Yes, the doctor said Jenny ought to have a change of air, and she's gone to kind of rest-cure place for a while," said MT. Underfoot to one of his old friends, while his gaze was carefully fixed on the distant land scape.
 "Tired out? inquired the friend.
 "No," said MT. Underfoot, slowly, "she wasn't tired out, for she hadn't done anything to tire her. But she was always kind of high-strung, and toward the last of it she got real nervous. One day I just happened to inquire what time dinner was to be- for it had varied about two hours one way or another-and she was making molasses gingerbread, and my asking that question upset her nerves so that she poured the batter right over me before I could move off. So next day she went to the rest-cure."

JAPANEsE FARM IN TEXAS.
1nmigrants Are Raising Rice and Be.
 coming Wealthy.

COhoAh8 WGhASAys
 It certainly will be news to most Americans that the great State of Texas has within its borders thriv- ing colony of Japanese farmers, whose numbers shortly will be largely in creased. It seems that two years ago MT. Onishi, an instructor in a col lege in Japan, purchased 500 acres of land in southeastern Texas between Houston and Galveston, which he deemed favorable for the cultivation of rice. Upon this he put to work forty of his own countrymen. At the end of the first year the results were so favorable that double the number of Japanese immigrants came into the same region, bought 4O0O acres of land and also started in to cultivate rice. Now it is reported that Mr. Gada, q Japanese from Formosa, has arranged to purchase 10000 acres of land west of the present colony of his countrymen in Texas and has gone to Japan to get 1000 families to settle on his purchase.
 It Is further declared that the Jap anese have been most cordially receiv- ed by the Texans, notwithstanding the fact that they have managed to raise 100 sacks of rice to the acre, while the other Texas growers have not been able to raise more than sixty to eighty sacks. One reason for the welcome extended to them is said to have been their earnest desire to learn American ways, customs and language. In ad- ditiOn to working hard all day they have been attending schools at night
 If this account be true 1t will cer- tainly evoke much comment. The royal welcome said to have been ex- tended by the Texans to the Japanese immigrants is vastly different from the treatment accorded to their Chi nese cousins on the Pacific coast. The Japanese in Texas presumably come with the idea of making their perma- nent homes there and of becoming land owners. Texas has plenty of land and is short on inhabitants and labor Perhaps if the Japanese colonists had sought any other State. their welcome would have been different. There are large numbers of them at work as contract laborers under our flag in the Hawaiian Islands, but their status is vastly different from that of the Texas immigrants.-P Post.
