 '1 am opposed to all' these experi- ments. and as -a railroad in lieu of the present macadamized road I have no idea that it will answer the pur- pose al all. No one can travel on horseback or in carriage of any description on a railroad. no matter how wide il may be or how finished. The steam engine and cars would scare an:' animal and drive it out of sight. Could you drive livestock on such a road? No: not within half q mile of it. The few that might escape being slaughtered by the engine in it's passage through the drove would be frightened and driven into the woods. where ;he:. would not he heard from again that season.

THE VANILLA BEAN.

French colonies produce fully half of the vanilla beans raised annually in the world. IL is estimated that this colonial industry gives employment to 35,0O0 people. As the use of the chemical product called "vanilline." which is 100 times as powerful as va nilla. threatens the business of the planters of the beans. they have formed a syndicate. with offices at 19 Rue Saint-Georges. Paris, to urge upon the French parliament the imposition of a heavy tax upon vanilline, which con tains no vanilla at all. tVanilline is produced through the oxidation of oil of Cloves-B. of M) There are indica- tions that this syndicate will be par tially. if not wholly. successful. Some Idea of the importance of this tax to the planters Of vanilla beans may be gained from the price at which this product is sold in Paris.

THE LAND OF WOODEN SPOONS.

Among the peasantry, which by far form the largest part of the popula- ton of Palestine. tableware. such as forks and knives. are entirely. and spoons almost entirely. unknown. Their cooked food is eaten out of a large wooden bowl. around which the family or guests gather. seated on the ground. The thumb and first two fin- gers are used to eat with. Meat is never cut, but is pulled apart with the fingers. The old Bible custom of wash ing the hands before and after a meal is still universally kept up
 Among the better-off class of peas antry. especially the Christians, few wooden spoons may be found in each home. while among the poorer ones there is seldom found anything in this line except a large wooden spoon for cooking purposes.
 The city people. both Christians and Mohammedans. have until quite re- gently used wooden spoons entirely for eating their meals. These spoons are made of fine grained woods. and are about the size, or a trifle larger. than a dessert spoon. They are imported from Damascus. Armenia and other

The man fingered until yesterday evening and before dying confessed to being the owner of a counterfeiting outfit.
 Thompson, who is the deputy sheriff at Mayer, was accompanied by Dep utv Sheriff Charles Keeler of this city in the pursuit of the counterfeiter and it was only after the officers had call ed repeatedly to Chemis to surrender and when he was about to make his escape that the shot was fired which laid him low. The bullet entered to 1he right Of his spinal column and came out of the right breast. Chemis was armed with gun and a knife and had the officers been closer within ac- curate pistol range, it is believed he yvould have made desperate resistance.
 The presence of the cOunterfeiter in these parts was discovered by Ed Shu mate, George Rohpeter and George Jones. Wednesday, while inspecting ths Lone Pine mine, a mile and half east of Huron.
