How Emery Is ouarried.

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 hen 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
cubic foot or less, and they are then
shipped as if they were Goals. There
are said to be 100000 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.

Cheap Living In Norway.

1T is good scheme" said rich
man, Ito spend the summer in Norway.
The Norwegian climate is superb, the
scenery Is grand and the living Is
cheap-a dollar day at the hotels and
carriages at half dollar a day. One
fine thing about Norway is that in the
summer the night only lasts a couple
Of hours, and If you 60 as far as the
North cape there is no night at all,
but the Gun circles round and round
the horizon and never sinks below.
The Norwegian rivers abound in fish,
and any one Is free to angle for trout
In them. The salmon rivers, though.
are strictly preserved. Some of the
salmon rivers are very fine and rent
for as much as $4,000 a year. I know
man who has river only two miles
long that he pays $1,8OO for. He often;
gets fish sixty or seventy pounds. The

Egyptian Onions.

Egypt has been regarded py some
people as the land Of pyramids and
mummies only, but it has from time
1mmemorial had a reputation for
onions. Ancient Egyptians swore by
the onion and regarded the plant as
sacred. The inscription OH the pyra-
mid of Cheops tells us that the work.
men had onions given to them, and
from the Bible we learn that the He.
brews, when slaves under Pharaoh,
enjoyed these bulbs, and that when far
away they remembered "the leeks and
the onions and the garlic" The Egyp-
ton onion is handsome and useful
vegetable, and by selecting the best
strains of seed the quality tends, year
by year, to improve. The Egyptian
knows two varieties, the "Baalr' and
the "Miskaoui," but supplies Of the lat
ter kind are seldom sent abroad, as
they absorb 80 much moisture from the
frequently irrigated ground In which
they are grown that they do not stand
a sea voyage we'll. The "Baali" onion
is the more popular Egyptian onion
and is grown in yellow soil, which is
sparingly watered while the bulbs arc
maturing, in order that the onions may
stand lengthy sea voyage with little
risk of sprouting.

The match burned with hardly flick

English "As She L. Wrote"

Some ludicrous mistakes are made
by some Of the French Canadian people
In our New England cotton mill towns

order from one Of his French custom

experience with these people, said at
once, Send him bag of whole corn,

grass seed, or, as the French people put
it, shayseed.' >"
And he was right.
At another time an order was re-
ceived for bag of corn broke, and
at still another an order for bag Of
corn not broke. Boston Herald

FINANCIAL CRASH IMPENDING.
RUSSIA USING MILLIONS AT HOME.
AND ABROAD TO BOLSTER
UP SECURITIES.

st. Petersburg. July 26.--No word
of the military disorders is now per-
mitted to be published.
Discussing the financial situation
the Rech says the quotations Of Rus
sian securities here and abroad are
not exaggerated. The paper says a
financial crash is impending, as the
government Is resorting to Count
Whites old system by which millions
are used in Berlin and Paris as we'll
as in st. Petersburg to bolster up
Russian bonds. This is the only in
direct reference made by the press to
the parliamentary appeal to the coun-
try to cut off the governments sup
plies by refusing to pay taxes.
In the provinces the suppression of
newspapers and the arrest of agitators
continues unabated. Up to the pres.
ent time there is no evidence of the
expected general rising of the peas
antry, but news travels slow in the
country. The only
Suooen Growth OF Disorders
among the peasants thus far reported
Is at Kostroma, 200 miles northeast of
Moscow.
A recrudescence of the revolution
Is also reported in the Baltic provinces
near Domitrovsk. .~-@. .-s-z
In Orel province the peasants on the
crown estates are reported to be in
eruption. ,~@5
The refusal of the authorities to
send troops to save the estate Of
Baron Fredericks, aide-de-camp to the
emperor, which was plundered by
peasants, seems to indicate that until
the danger is passed it is the inten-
ton of the war office to keep the
troops concentrated in the cities and
protect the lines of communication
between here and Moscow and st.
Petersburg and the frontier, so that in
the event of serious troubles in the
army becoming apparent troops can
retire on st. Petersburg, where the
last stand will be made 49, .~.

has not lost a game, and it is

have a battle worth seeing.

IT'S MOVE on
FOR THE "BOES"
"BOx Car Tourists" Beginning to
Arrive. But Police Keep
Them Travelling,

The season for the festive hobo
and his ''pot gang" IS on in full
blast throughout the north half
of the state and Bemidji has been
getting her share of the non
sweating fraternity, who "toil
not, neither do they spin," but
who manage to "get there, y
pretty regularly three times a
day and enjoy refreshing slum-
Der o'nights.
1t has been the habit of the
"boes" to congregate IN numbers
at "trysting place" a mile west
of the depot and also at a point
where the old sawmill was To-
Gated. The tin-can gentry used
to do their cooking and eating at
these places, and at times some
questionable characters rem
dezvoused there.
Chief of Police Bailey and the
members of the force are using
strenuous persuasion to induce
the Tourists" to move on, with
the result that the happy homes
are not inhabited to any great
extent these days.
The men who used to hang out
there were in the habit of steal
ing anything and everything in
the shape of growing vegetables
from gardens in the vicinity and
were a nenacing nuisance. It
is a case of keep moving, Willie, "
with the box-car fraternity who
bit Bemidji at this season of the
year. No hoboes wanted.

In the afternoon Cooper appeared

afflicted with deafness to step for

gentleman carrying an ear trumpet,

the information that the man who
had peen unable to hear without
the aid of the trumpet for several
years. He then poured peculiar
preparation into the mans ears
and rubbed them softly with his

Catholic Priests and Marriage.

Marriage by the clergy was first posi-
lively forbidden in the .ear: 1914 by
Pope Gregory VII. The controversy,
however, which had been going on for
centuries on that subject was not alto
gether settled by Gregory's decree. The
council of Trent in 1893 was the &C.
clesiastical body which formally pro-
hibited priests from forming marriage
alliances. That permanently settled
the matter. r.-.

that they could hear as we'll as
they ever could.
