THE TOMBs OF THE MINGs.
There IL no doubt but that this dy-
nasty viii do ana 1t can 10 sutpass the
tombs of the Mings. the dynasty which
preceded H. These lie in two great
cemeteries, one at Nanking on the
Nangtse kiang. and the other far cut
I'm the country between here and the
great wall. / have visited both. and
they are among the wonders OF the
world
The Ming tombs Of North China con-
sist of number OF great Chinese pal
aces, lying In beautiful valley. and
connected by wide marble roads sew
eral miles long. In each side of the
roads, upon pcdcstals. stand gigantic
figures Of tigers, lions. unicorns, horses,
camels ana elephants, each cut from
one solid block of white marble. The
elephants are "jumbos," beautifully
cut. and the lions and camels are not
at all bad. considering that their
sculptors were Tartars There are rs
emperors buried In that cemetery and
the largest temple is that OF the great
Lung Yoh. This has a hall 200 feet
long. ana IL covers more than an acre.
It is surrounded by a balustrado Of
carved marble, and in it are immense
stone turtles, each as big as a hogs
head out OF whose backs rise pink
marble slabs inscribed with the vir-
tues OF the great emperor. The turtle
is one Of the Chinese emblems Of
longevity.
THE TOMBs OF NANKING.
1t is near Marking that the founder
OF the Ming dynasty is buried. and
The tombs there are somewhat similar
to these tombs OF North China. They
lie under the shadow OF the purple
mountains, and are reached by an
avenue mile long which Is lined
with gigantic elephants, camels, lions
and tigers In marble. There arc also
many stone warriors. each 10 feet In
height At the end OF this avenue is
a great tower with four arched gate
ways, and this tower covers a circle OF
black marble This is so large that
II would fiji an ordinary city parlor,
and it is made from one single block
Of stone. The animals themselves
each weigh many tons, and some of
them are beautifully carved. One of
the stone horses has been thrown over,
and some of the lions and camels are
broken, but the most Of them are az
perfect today as when they we're orig
inally made, about 500 years ago.

HIGHER PRICES
FOR Olive OIL
LOVERS OF THE FLUID ARE AL
READY ALARMED AT THE
ADVANCE.

With the alarming rapidity that is
causing CONSERVATION among the ranks
of the consumers, olive oil has gone
up in price, and, according to a we'll
known dealer, big raise can be ex-
pected in a short time. The jobber
said that the increase is generally sup
posed to have been caused by the
earthquake in Sicily, and has been
largely influenced by a dry spell in
Italy, Turkey, Spain and France. The
crop was cut short also by the at
lacks of ravenous mosquitoes, &C
cording to. the latest information re-
ceived. The price quoted now is 81
a gallon and raise of 80 cents is ex.
pected.
The Ottunwa lovers of olive oil
would profit much by laying in two or
three barrels at the present price.
This amount would last a week or two
in any ordinary household, and be-
sides, look at the money that would
be saved.

early day. When the railroad came for
ty years ago he got them to name the
newly made town Mona, after her
who was gone. So he settled down
here and married and would not re.
