HOW Emery L. Qunrried.

Emery comes from the island Of
Naxos, in the eastern Mediterranean,
whence it has been exported for the
last two centuries or more. The beds
are in the northeast of the island, the
deposit descending into some of the
neighbOring islands, the emery being
found in lenticular masses, resting on
layers of schist in limestone, almost
identical with Parian marble, the fin
est marble known, which comes from
the island of Paros, close by. There
are about 300 men engaged in the
trade, all of whom have to be married
before they are admitted to the fra
ternity. The material is much too hard
to be dug out or even blasted. Great
fires are lighted round the blocks till
the natural cracks expand with the
heat, and levers are then inserted to
pry them apart.
This system is continued until the
blocks are reduced In size to masses Of
a cubic foot or less and they are then
shipped as if they were Goals. There
are said to be 2O,OOO,OOO tons yet avail
able at Naxos 1t Is one of the hard
est substances yet known, coming next
to the diamond, and among its crystal
line forms known to the jewelers. are
the ruby and the sapphire.

A smoker who started TO light his
pipe on the street turned to his COM
panion and said: "a man told me the
other day how to light an ordinary
match in a high wind. Let me show
you"
There was a stiff breeze blowing.
The demonstration took from his pocket
an envelope, struck a parlor match on
a rail and shielded it inside of the en-
velope, facing the wind as he did SO.
The match burned with hardly a flick
er, and the man who held it puffed on
his pipe with great satisfaction.
That's a trick worth knowing" he
remarked Here's another. Some
times you get a spark ON top of your
pipe which the most vigorous putting
fails to spread over the surface of the
tobacco. In that case take a piece of
paper of almost any kind and hold it
down in the spark This will spread
the fire and give you the sort of light
a pipe smoker wants" - Providence

Some persons advise raking after
each moving. l do not, because the
clippings drop down into the grass and
form a mulch, which / consider of
great benefit. They also help to fer
tiliZe the soil. The lawn that is not
moved often enough will not look well
after you have been over it with the
mower, because there was growth
enough to partially hide the sward up
on which it falls. This will wither and
turn brown in ii day or two and great
ly detract from the beauty of the lawn.
But if you keep your lawn well moved
and that means going over it at least
three times week in ordinary sea-
sons-the amount clipped off at each
moving will be so slight that there
will not be enough of it to show. Let
the knife blades be set high enough to
leave at least two inches of the foil

Who Owns Our Mines and Gold

After reading the glowing reports and
speeches of certain treasury officials one
might infer that all the gold mined in
this country belongs here but such is not
the fact. Foreigners have been gobbling
up our mines for many years back.
Most of our mines in Montana, it has
been said, belong to Engishmen. One
of these, the Drumlummon, has yielded
to its owners (the Rothschilds), $4,000
000
Since 1896 English investments have
been very heavy, and include the five
largest mines ever operated here-the
Independence, Camp Bird, Sultana, Rob
Roy and the De Lamar.
The gold from these mines as well as
good part of what comes from Australia
and Japan, and from the Klondike, where
most of the miners are foreigners. is con
signed to foreign banks in San Francisco
and New York; but every dollar of it is
counted as belonging to American citi-
Zens. But now and then some one blurts
out little truth and thus gives the
American public a chance to see how it
is being fooled in this manner. Refer
ing to the imports in August, 1901, VIM.
Sherer. manager of the New York Clear
ing House, says:
"Of course this gold from Australia
and the Klondike must he paid for, and
in return for the deposits, remittances
may have to be made to England and
Canada, but as long AS British banks
here can obtain as renumerative rates as
abroad. the gold will remain"
All of which is quite true, but what
right have the treasury officials to include
such gold in our stock of money?-W.

VERMONTER LOST.
Ernest L. ouimet, formerly of
Island Pond Strayed from
SomervilIe, Mass.

Leaving Il grief stricken wife on the
verge of COLLAPSE, Ernest L. Ouimet, a
telegraph operator, rendered morose
and melancholy by his disappointment at
not receiving promotion which he thought
he deserved has disappeared from his
home at y Line street. Somerville, and
despite the frantic search of his wife no
trace of him has been found since Oct.
90
For some years Ouimet had been the
operator at the Island Pond (Vt.) sta
ton on the Grand Trunk railway. He
had been told and always considered
himself to be the next in line for pro-
motion to the position of dispatcher at
the same station When the vacancy in
the position occurred, however, another
was chosen from a station further down
the line and Oumet was told that he
was to retain his old position.
This he refused to do and started out
to find employment. He secured it on
the Boston and Maine railroad and was
hoSlShtNl W aver. ANOl lIhlIlB Jldt pldCt,
he and his wife came to SOmerville,
where he secured a position, but at
smaller wages than he was accustomed
to receive. This fact CALLED him further,
and on Get. 26 he told his wife that he
was going to Nashua, N H., where he
heard of vacancy in the Union Station
at Nashua Junction.
Since then no word of any kind has
been heard from HIM. His father, Moses
Ouimet, who lives at Swanton, VT, has
joined in the search for the missing oper
ator, as has also brother, Ouimet, who
lives at Swanton. but all to no purpose.
Mrs. Ouimet, SO great is her distress and
so disastrous has it been to her health

can citizen on his native soil. Numerous presents were given him, but none that he valued so highly as the rifle now in the hands of his grandson, J. w. Crockett, of Arkansas. Tradi- tion has it that 800 young Wings of Philadelphia donated 50 cents each for the purchase of the gun, which made the price $250. It was originally a flint lock, but has been changed to percussion. The bore is large enough to carry about three-quarter ounce ball. It is highly embellished with gold lettering, some of which time has faded.
 In his speech accepting the gun Old Davy said in part: How, gentlemen to express my grati- tude to you for your splendid present 1 am at a loss.
 This much, however, 1 will say, that myself and my sons will not forget you while we use this token of your kindness for our amusement. If it should be, come necessary to use her in de- fense of the liberty of our coun- try in my time, will do as I have done before; and if the should come when am buried in the dust, 1 will leave her in the hands of some who will honor your present, in com pany with your sons, in standing for our country's rights.

 There was a general desire ln the East to see and hear the backwoods Indian fighter, bear hunting congressman from Ten nessee, who in spite of open rebellion against Jackson, held lis seat in congress and was fast becoming a national character.
 Old Davy accepted invitations to speak in Philadelphia, Boston, New York and other important cities, and his tour of the East was a grand ovation from start to finish. Wherever he went the shut up shop and turned out enmasse to do him honor. Big banquets were given in his honor and no greater demonstra- tions were ever given an Ameri- ,

 In this connection we %n peat here an instance tha' cured at Little Rock in winter of 1885 when the legiy \ ture was in session. "Uncl Bob" was the senator from Ark1e ansas and Monroe counties. An immigration meeting was held at the state house and the lead ing orators of the state, includ- ing ''Uncle Bob," were pressed into service to tell about the greatness of Arkansas. In one of his eagle flights of oratory 'Uncle Bob" exclaimed, "Why, MT. Chairman, i'll Arkansas we have mountains so high that you can stand upon their cloud capped peaks and tickle the feet of democratic angels in Heaven, and valleys so low that you can descend to their cavernous depths and pitch chunks of ice to our republican friends in hell. "Uncle Bob,S' like his distin- guished grandfather, ''Uncle Davy," made a\record as a sol- dier and came &t of the civil war a confederate \colonel, with a gallant record to hN credit.
 In fact, the military heroism of the Crockett family &etes back to the revolutionary Atruggle when the father of Davy Crock cit, who was a native of Ireland, followed the flag under Wash ington.
 If the opportunity should b. afforded J. w. (Wes) CrockettN to keep up the military record of his ancestry, it is not likely that he could redeem Old Davy's pledge to continue the use of "Old Betsy" as weapon of de- fense.
 The fast repeating rifles of modern use that send a shower of lead a thousand yards put the firearms of "Old Betsy's class out of commission, but in the day of her usefulness "Old Betsy" was the finest gun in the west and the history that clusters around her from the time she was placed in the hands of Davy Crockett in Philadelphia, to the day that he fell fighting for Texas independence with "Old Betsy' in his grasp, will be cherished as long as American liberty and independence shall abide in the hearts of the people.
