Contrary to the general supposi'
ton, Rasuli, the Moroccan bandit, is
a well-educated gentleman, tracing his
ancestry through Mulai ldris, who
founded the empire of Morocco, to the

tall and handsome, with an unusually
white skin and with features rather
Grecian than Semitic-altogethe a
fascinating gentleman, with his knowl
edge of languages and gift as story

AT Harrisburg bill has been intro
duced in the House providing that
Treasurers of the cities of the state shall
publish the amounts of all assessments,
annual and triennial, levied for all pur-
poses upon the real and personal property
in the several districts. Such .publics-
tion would tend to equalize assessments
and enable the taxpayer to ascertain how
the valuation of his property compared
with that of his neighbor. 1t would
therefore assist in securing what all hon.
est men long fora square DEAL Biz
zard. This bill, if it should pass, ought
also to be extended to boroughs and
townships. whose citizens and taxpayers
are as much entitled to square deal"
as those os the cities of the state.

LEMONS FOR THE WORLD.
California and Florida Fruit Is Gain
ing In Popularity.

Washington, Jan. 29.-Lemons to all
the world are being handed out by Cal
ifornia and Florida. The same is also
true of lines, but they are not used
nor talked about as much as lemons.
Formerly all the lemons used in the
United States came from Sicily, but
Consul C. NJ. Caughy, writing from
Messina, has advised the department
of commerce and labor that Italy's
fruit trade with the United States has
dwindled TO almost nothing.
Formerly the Messina lemons were
shipped to Manila, Hong Kong and
other Far Eastern ports, but Califor-
mia has invaded that field and because
of the superior quality has driven the
Italian fruit from the market.
The only country the California and
Florida lemon has not yet been able TO
reach is Russia, where there is duty
of $3.0S box. Because of this high
duty only the rich can get them. The
peasant or poor man there is always
glad to have lemon handed to him.

The Mineral Jade.

Most people have probably seen jade
ornaments without having n very clear
Idea of the material of which such
things are composed. Jade is an eX-
ceedingly tough but beautiful mineral,
much OF which is found In China. 1t is
of five colors. the most highly priced
jade being the white. yellow and green
varieties. The rarest of all Is red Jade,
but this is 50 scarce that 1t has no place
In market valuations. The mineral Is
frequently found in the beds of streams,
and In searching for it Mohammedans
are generally employed, as 1t Is be-
lieved that people of this faith are SEN
sltlve to It's presence, and, Ike the
dowsers or water finders, nre affected
with shuddering fits when passing over
a place where Jade Is to be found.

If the State constabulary law is srepealed
Governor Stuart has declared his inten-
ton of vetolng any such legislation that
may come to him. He believes that if
the State police law is tampered with at
all it should be to improve it and increase
the number of troops. He takes the view
of great majority of the people that the
State police have been Of the greatest
benefit to the people OF this State, and to
abolish them would be one of the greatest
pieces of folly that the present legislature
could permit. The Punxsutawney Spirit
saws: "The people of this vicinity need
no evidence as to the benefits derived
from the troop stationed at this point
The decrease of law breaking, especially
in the foreign element, during the past
year, has been noticeably great and on a
large number of occasions the members
of Troop d have proven themselves ne
cessity and we presume that it must be
the same with the other troops.'

THE Philadelphia Ledger has large
views concerning road building in Penn
sylvanis, holding that "the ss,0O0,OOO for
road building asked for by State High
way Commissioner Hunter is neither ex-
travagant nor extraordinary" 1t adds:
"Pennsylvania can we'll afford to make
strenuous efforts to remove at the earliest
date the stigma which attaches to her
country roads. To equal New York's
ambitious record would require, perhaps,
as in the case of our neighbor, further
authority from the people to incur a
special road debt, but the magnitude of
the need and the certainty OF the return
would justify the departure. The good
roads movement has received an impetus
that nothing can retard, and If we are to
retain our place something more than
average progress will be required"

Talking Nonsense.

The Pittsburg Gazette remarks that
about this time every two years the poor
old constitution of Pennsylvania is de-
serted by the men who are especially
sworn to obey and defend 1t, and then
the paper goes on TO show what colossal
asses some people make of themselves In
their desire to change things by law
which the constitution expressly prohib-
its. Down at Harrisburg there are al
ways number of statesmen who are no
sooner warm in their seats than they
plan to upset the fundamental law. We
are told now that "Philadelphis Republic
can leaders" favor bill doing away
with the February elections and provid-
ing that all elections be held in Novem-
ber, state officials to be chosen in odd
years ard local officials in even years.
How this is going to be done by "a bill"
doth not yet appear. The constitution
fixes the election for city, ward, borough
and township officers for the third Tues
day in February, aud this can be changed
only Dy an amenumeut W lne consIilu-
ton. But one amendment would not be
sufficient to secure the election OF state
officers in odd years, as under the sched-
ule of the present constitution the gov
ernor must be chosen in an even year.
Hence if anybody is seriously contem-
plating change in the time of our elec-
tions he would do we'll first to read the
constitution and learn how many sec
tions ofthst instrument IL is necessary to
amend aud then figure out just what
stipulations must be set out in in the
schedule to make things fit when 1t
comes to switching from the old system
to the new. When all that has been as
certained we fancy the Job will be post
poned to some more convenient season.

PRussIAN MINE DISASTER.
Four Hundred Of the eoo Miners Es'
capped Through an Adjoining Shaft.

capped Through an Adjoining SHAFT.
Saarbruecken, Prussia, Jan. %
The disaster at the Reden mine oc'
Cured $500 feet under ground and is
one and one-quarter miles from the
floor of the shaft. 1t is the greatest
mining catastrophe ever known in the
Saar region.
About 600 men entered the mine for
the day shift, but about 400 of them
escaped through the Bildstock shaft,
which communicates with the Reden
underground. 1t is still uncertain
how many workmen still are in the
mine, the reports being divergent.
The bodies of 164 miners have been
found. The entrance to the galleries
underground is blocked with dead
horses.
Heartrending scenes are witnessed
among the thousands of persons, most
ly members of the families of the
miners, who are gathered about the
mouth of the shaft. Most of the
bodies brought to the surface are
mangled beyond recognition, but as
they are carried out means and sobs
from the assembled relatives rend the
air.
The mine inspectors last evening
ordered the rescuers to return to their
homes, but to hold themselves in read
mess for further orders.
Emperor William has ordered that
full report of the disaster be sent
him. Experts calculate that the res
cue work will take one week

THERE will doubtless be some lively
times in the Legislature over the subject
of vaccination, as opponents of the meas
ure will make vigorous fight to wipe 1t
off the stutute books. Members from
various interior counties were elected on
platforms calling for the repeal or modi-
fication of the law. State Health Com
missioner Dixon will vigorously oppose
anything in the nature of repeal. He
will probably ask the Legislature, how
ever, to make some changes in the law to
bring it into harmony with the compul-
sorry education act. At present one law
compels parents to send their children to
school and another compels the teacher to
refuse admittance of unvaccinated child
rem. The thing to do is to so amend the
act that children may not be deprived of
receiving their just share of schooling
and education, or wipe it off the statute
books altogether.

Love Plants of West Indies.

"Did you ever hear of the love
plant?" asked a sea captain who was
showing several visitors over his craft
the other day. II have several in the
cabin"
He showed three small leaves at
tached to the ceiling by strings. They
were without any soil or foundation,
but were green, and from each there
sprouted dozen or more little leaves
greener and fresher than the main leaf
itself.
During our last cruise in the West
Indies" the captain continued, Il Wis.,
tied a deserted English fortress, which
was grown over with shrubbery. A
vative plucked several leaves from a
vine and told me to hang them some
where and write the name Of my best
girl on them. If they die he said,
she does not love you. If they sprout,
she does l put my wlfe's name on
one and my two daughters names on
the others. You see, although they
have been without nourishment for
three months, all three are sprouting
well and my family's affections seem
assured. d."-Philadelphia Record.
