MONACO SEEKS FOR WAY
TO SPEND BIG SURPLUS.
Annual Revenue 100000, Expenditure
Nil, Puzzles Gambling Principally.

A few Americans who happened to
be visiting the principality Of Monaco
AT the time when it was struggling
with its first elections had an excep-
tional opportunity TO enjoy themselves.
Some months ago Monaco suddenly
woke up one morning with a thirst
for parliamentary government and
marched upon the princes palace. A
revolution was ayerted by the prince
consenting TO receive a deputatiOn, 10
whom he said. IF you want to elect
each other to something, by all means
do So or words to that effect.
The Monegasques accordingly elected
each other 70 body which they called
the communal council after going
through all the proper formalitles Of
shouting and spellbinding The body
electorate at once split up into four
distinct parties, the Real Monegasques.
the True 'Monegasques. the Monaco
Patriots and the Progressive National
lists Of Monaco. The last named party
came out at the top Of the polls and
holds the majority in the communal
council.
The prince has granted the council
supplies of 100000 year. The ques-
ton before the council, improbable as
IT may seem. is what to do with the
money. Every public expenditure is
covered already several times over by
the profits Of the Monte Carlo gam
bling tables. The councils budget
therefore will work out something like
this: Annual revenue 100000. expend-
iture nil.
The day of the political boss has not
yet dawned in Monaco, but it will
probably come. and then there may be
some modification in this unique

NEBRASKANS HUNT PEARLS.
Finding of $500 Specimen In EIkhorn
River Starts Search.

The pearl fishing craze has struck
Stanton, Neb Merchants are leaving
their stores, professional men their
offices and farmers their fields TO hunt
pearls in the Elkhorn river.
A few days ago Herman Seidel
was fishing in the river for pike Run
ming out of bait, he opened a clam
shell in order TO get the clam and use
1t. As he pried the shell apart a pure
white pearl almost as large as hick-
DRY nut flashed before his eyes. He
stopped his pike fishing and went TO
hunting clans, with the result that in
the afternoon he secured two more
pearls, somewhat smaller than the
first one.
Seidel sent the largest pearl 10 a
wholesale jewelry house in Omaha and
has received word that it is worth
$500. The result of this find has start
ed everybody to hunting pearls.

PARIS SMOKING PIPES.
High Price of Cigars and Cigarettes
Revives Old Practice.

Pipes are again in favor in Paris.
The high taxes on tobacco have been
their triumph. The pipe has invaded
the fashionable world. and the reason
for this is the increased price of cigars,
cigarettes and all high grade tobacco.
The sale of the ordinary smoking to-
bacco for pipes sold in fvepenny pack
ages is daily increasing.
The dealers in pipes are naturally
delighted. Three times more pipes are
being sold than in any previous year,
The man who goes to the seaside or
the mountain resorts takes pipe with
him. The pipe enters into the prepa-
rations for the shooting season. and
even the college students are good Gus
toners.

GROWING WOOD NOW STAINED
louisisnian Invents Process Having
Unlimited Possibilities.

The idea of staining wood as it
grows seems revolutionary. but q
Louisiana man has invented a process
by which this can be done. By this
method any light wood can be made
practically any darker color or dark
wood made still darker, though it will
be difficult 10 tighten the natural
shades, 1t also obviates the necessity
Of dyeing mahogany or other woods
OF this nature.
A bucket of coloring fluid is hung
just below the branches Of young
tree or any tree that is in good.
healthy condition. A hose runs from
this bucket TO point near the base
of the tree. and here the bark and
some of the fbers are cut out and the
coloring matter applied TO the pores
thus exposed. As the sap flows
through the tree the stain is circu-
lated with it. and the wood changes
its color 10 any shade desired.
The possibilities of such a process
are almost unlimited. and some very
unusual colorings can be obtained in
this manner. The expense Of dyei
the wood later is also saved.

MARBLE DEMAND HURTS
French ScuIPtors Blame American
Builders Fer Scarcity.

Builders Fer Scarcity.
French sculptors are complaining
that marble has become very expensive
and that they find it almost impossible
to obtain large blocks, even at the
present high prices. America is blamed
for this state Of affairs.
For many years the export of marble
to the United States has increased
enormously. The great hotels, office
buildings and magnificent houses Of
America have monopolized the output
of Carrara at prices which France can
not meet.
Carrara reserves a certain proportion
of its marble for Italian artists, and
the rest goes to America. France has
some marble quarries of her own, in
the Haute Garonne. but they belong to
an English company, which sells the
best blocks TO America.
That the difficulty felt by French
sculptors is a real one is shown by the
complaint of the sculptor Bartholome
that he cannot begin work on his
monument to Jean Jacques Rousseau
in the Pantheon on account Of lack of
the necessary material.

The trouble concerning which the present
verdict is the second TO be given occurred
about year ago. McMaster was summoned
from his house by two natives, who at
tackled him with clubs. The wce-consul'
however. took away the weapon Of one Of
+17e men and beat both Of them severely.
The men were arrested and found guilty
OF assault. and the Colombian government
anoIogized 10 the United States. The pres

court orders the release Of the men and the

There has been much i'll feeling in ColoH-

stoned and several Americans were at
