Importance of HObbiea.

For the we'll being and stable bal
ance Of every mind it is normally nee
essary that every man should have
some pursuit which shall be uncon-
nected with his business, which he
must pursue with absolute seriousness.
The hobby may be a game, it may be
a collection Of some sort (even stamps)
or it may be some artistic achievement,
and whether a man scarcely attains
mediocrity even in it matters not at
all, provided he pursues it with the
fixed idea that nothing else in the
world matters.-London Queen.

THE BEST INDIA INK.
It IL of Musk, Bright With
Gold and Very Costly.

Gold and Very Costly.
"This india ink" said the clever Chi
nese art student, has no more right to
be called Indian than your American
redskins have to that name, for india
Ink all ONE from China, and India
never produced a stick of it.
"Anhui, my own province, is the II
where india ink is made. The best of
the ink is kept at home for the use of
the royal scribes and the official littera-
tt. 1t is only the lower grade that is
exported. This lower grade sells at
wholesale in Anhui for $1,5GO Il ton.
''The very best grade of india ink,
the kind rich with gold, is worth S75,-
600 a ton.
= 1.-The constituents Of india ink are
COLA oil, pork fat, lampblack, glue,
musk, gold leaf and the oil of a poison
GUS tree, the heng, which rows only in
the Yangtsc valley.
"After the admiXture of the oils the
lampblack, the fat and the glue, the re-
sultant paste is beaten for many hours
with steel hammers upon wooden an
wills, and during that long beating GER
tain quantities Of musk and of gold
leaf are added, the musk to give the
Ink perfume, the gold to give it luster.
"Afterward the ink is dried for three
weeks in molds. The stocks are then
decorated, the most artistic scribes
gliding them with very beautiful Chi
nese characters.
"There is no ink worthy to be men,
toned in the same breath with ours,
an ink redolent Of musk and bright
with gold."-EXchange.

Philadelphia. Jan 23-A decree re ducing by nearly S10.0G0 the verdict obtained by c. c. 4.

 Judge Holland also stipulates that fee Of s2,500 be paid by the defend- ants to the plaintiffs attorney.

Stonington, Jan 23.-Captain c. P. Everett, commander of the government steamer Lieutenant Ord. plying be- tween this port and Fort Mansfield, R. l., has been suspended pending in- vestigation of charges preferred against him. The complainant is Lieu tenant Corey, acting quartermaster at Fort Mansfield. and though the exact nature of the charges are not made public, the fact that the commanding officer at the post should order a sus- pension and an investigation is taken as an indication that the matter is serious one. Captain Everett is not an enlisted man. Captain John Spof- ford of New London has been placed in command of the Lieutenant Ord. The date of the hearing on the charges against Captain Everett has not bsn announced.

ARE NOT READY YET
Alexander Barry Says Russian People Are Not Ripe for
 Constitutional Rights.

Moscow, Jan 23.-Alexander Barry, naturaliZed American, who is among the most prominent manufacturers of Moscow, takes an exceedingly gloomy view of the situation, industrially and politically. Mir Barry employs from 300 to 5000 men and unquestionably has a more profound knowledge of Russian conditions than any American in the empire and is capable of giving close diagnosis of the situation. He is convinced that the Russian people are not ripe for a full constitutional regime. The opening of the flood gates of agitation by the publication of the imperial reform manifesto only served to demoralize portion of the masses which had already been dis turbed by the agitators.
 Continuing. Mr Barry said:
 The ignorant masses really have none of the political aspirations at tributed to them by the agitators, but owing to their poverty they are easy prey to the appeals for liberty which for them means license. That they neither understand nor care for true political rights is proved by the fact that in Moscow less than 10 per cent and in the provinces not over per cent of the qualified voters will regis ter. Consequently it can be taken for granted that the national assembly Will be overwhelmingly conservative and will become an institution to regis ter the decrees of the government. This in turn is sure to drive into the camp of the extremists the liberals, intellectual classes and the visionary, impractical class with ill-digested po- litical ideals who throughout the crisis and since tie issuance of the reform manifesto have stood idly by. exercis- ing neither influence nor restraint. The revolutionary agitation will then enter on a new and more dangerous phase. Fifty per cent of the workmen in the cities of Russia will be out of work in 1906. Impoverished. embittered and unemployed, they will wander back to their villages and find willing ears among the land hungry peasants for the doctrines of socialism and the di- vision of property. and crime and law lessness will flourish. All the condi- tions will make for desperation and an- archy in which revival of the revo- lutionary agitation will find the best opportunity. Russia will be confront ed either by excesses of power or ex- cesses of liberty. There is no middle way"

Standard Man Gets Into
 Trouble. TEST CASE MADE
Middletown Authorities Found Oil Was Not Up to Standard and Arrested the
 Agent.

Middletown, Conn.,. Jan. 23-As the result of the test of several samples of kerosene oil in this city recently, John Boylen. the local agent for the Standard Oil company. was arrested to-day charged with violating Section 4579 of the General Statutes, dealing with the quality of Illuminating oil which shall be sold in this state. Boy len was released on a bond of S10O and will appear in the city court for trial tomorrow morning.
 His case will be made a test case in connection with the general inves- tigation of oil throughout the state. Middletown started the inquiry into the quality of kerosene oil as the re- suit of test made of the oil which exploded in lamp at the home of Samuel White, the explosion resulting in the death of MT Whites young daughter.
 According to Chemist SeyboId of the Standard Oil company who con- ducted test at Wesleyan yesterday, the company and the local officials differ regarding the requirements of the statutes, the chemist claiming that the law is not specific. Mir Seybold says that there is a big difference in making the test of oil in the style of cup used.
 In New York state closed cup is used while in this state the usual pro- cess is carried out with the aid of an open cup. Again, the chemist points out that the law really requires that the fire point of Illuminating oil shall be 110, not the flash point, while the statute under which Mir Boylen was arrested speaks of the flash test as being 110. In all the cases conducted by Mir Seybold and Professor Bradley of Wesleyan, the flash test has been found to be considerably below 11O degrees, Fahrenheit.
 According to the statute under which the Agent Boylenis held. any one who sells oil. the flash point of which is proved by lawful test to be below no degrees. Is liable to a fine of not more than $500 and imprison- ment of not more than three years.
