There was Il curious superstition
which prevailed In Essex half cen.
fury ago. It was believed that certain
stones possessed the power of breeding
other stones. | remember being taken
by a man of the upper laboring class
to see a well known breeding stone
which lay on the sward by the side Of
lane in the parish of South Weald
near Brentwood. 1t was seemingly a
water Worn block of sandstone or pos
sibly, have since thought, of pudding
stone, which would explain a great
deal
1t was larger than a mans head,
with a cup shaped cavity the size of a
small orange. in which lay pebble
about as big as an acorn. l was told
that this pebble continually grew Jar
ger and that if it were removed the
breeding stone would begin to breed
another. 1t was evident that the man
firmly believed what he told me. and
he got quite angry when | ventured TO

An Early Betrothnl.

In the early days of California the
daughters of the LugoS were sought In
marriage 10y the best families of the
state. 1t was a boast that they were
even courted in the cradle, as when the
young officer Colonel Ignacio Vallejo,
being in san Luis ObSpo on the occa-
sion of the birth of a daughter to the
Lugos, asked her father for the hand

time came to fulfill the contract the

diminished Honey Sections.
There are two methods of dealing
with sections more or less unfinished
namely, feeding back extracted honey
to secure their completion and selling
them at a reasonable price in the local
market. For most beekeepers the lat.
ter course is probably preferable. All
sections not three-fourthS completed
should be emptied by setting supers of
them over colonies lacking in stores
and then the dry clean combs kept
over for use the next spring.

Tea, Three Cents a Pound.

There is a description of tea sold in
Japan at the average price the country
over of 615d. per pound. This is bran
cha" which consists of a mixture of
the former years leaves, withered
stalks. etc, and is mainly consumed by
the poorest classes, though the price
varies considerably in different prefec-
lures, being as high as Sd. in Kago-
shima and only about I'D. per pound
in Kyoto.
IN 1898, according to a consular re-
port by Student Interpreter Phipps Of
Toxic, no less than 55.5SS, 030 pounds
OF tea of all qualities was produced,
valued at G1,12O,S00. During the same
year 4S,239.4S4 pounds valued at G1,-
422 ,535. were exported.-From the Lon

Mikado's Larqe Income.

The yearly allowance of the Mikado,
which is at the same time that of the
whole imperical family, is now $780,
700. Beside, he has the yearly income
of 100000 from the interest on the
$10,000.000 which was given to him
from the war indemnity received from
China ten years ago; of $250,000 from
his private estates, which amount to
100000 or more; of 100000 from
the forests, covering an area of 5,124,-
873 acres and valued at s512, 4S7 300, at
$40 an acre; in all, $1.250,000. Thus
his yearly net income amounts to ST.
100000. There are in all sixty mem
bers Of the imperial family, inclusive
of eleven married and four widowed
princesses, who are members of the
royal family by marriage.

OrientaIism in Commerce.

Even in its commerce Smyrna Is
Oriental. Few Westerns care fig for
Smyrna, but that famous old city re-
CARDS the fig as the mainstay if it's
prosperity. The most popular merry
making of Smyrna's year is the fig
festival. That takes place when the
export of the fig harvest from the
interior gets in. The first train load
enters the station with the engine
befagged, the wagons covered with
branches and garlands, and there are
artillery salutes and flourishes of
trumpets. These, however, are as
nothing compared with the noisy re-
ioicings of the populace, who follow
loaded camels through the city to the
grand bazaar singing and dancing with
all the unrestrained fervor of the Or
ient.-London Globe.

SURVIVORS OF Tsu-sHIMA.
Tell OF the Awful Hardship and
Rough Treatment by officers.

A writer in the Slovo draws a pain
full picture OF the attitude of the naval
authorities toward the survivors OF the
Baltic fleet. which was destroyed in the
battle of Tsu-shima.
You cannot imagine the treatment
to which we were subjected" said
young officer of one of the Baltic cruis-
ers to the writer. ''It made one feel
ashamed of wearing our uniform. For
more than a year we did work equal to
penal servitude. Our crews worked 10
hours day carrying coal, transport
ing it in Small boats in the ocean, Ian
gushing under tropical sun, feed
ing on salt meat and timed food.
During eight months We lived in
dirt and slept in rubbish. During eight
long months not single night passed
without alarm or without expectation
of the enemy's attack. And before us
We had still greater labor and priva-
tons in blockading vladivostok in case
we succeeded in reaching it. And re-
proaches and insults were our only re-
ward. You know the rough nature Of
our sailors. Well, our chiefs have sue
ceeded in touching them to the quick

have seen them cry, broken down by
this new kind of welcome from their
mother country after the labors they
have undergone. Truly, we envy those

Our plsythings, one by one, and by
