Rossinrs Resting Place.
For years Rossini's body rested
in .Pere Lachaise, and then city
Of Florence asked that it might be
transferred to the Church of the
Holy Cross in that city, where the
bodies of Galilei, Michelangelo,
Machiavelli, Alferi and other great
Italians are entombed. Consent
was received from the municipality,
but the masters widow, Dona
Olympia, would consent to the
translation only On condition that
when her time came her body
might be placed next to that of her
husband. This request was bluntly
denied, for the reason that only
Italians "who had achieved great
ness" could rest there. In 1878 the
widow died and before her death
consented in writing to the removal
OF her husbands body to Florence,
provided her body be placed i'll the
grave from which his would be TAX
en- in Pere Lachaise, and after .
long tfine for consideration this
mas done.

When Lord Campbell published his Lives of the Lord Chancellors" 1t was wittily exclaimed that he had added a new terror to death The chantecler hat, 1t seems, has added a new terror to life. At Newton Mass, the other day two young people had a narrow es- cape from drowning on account of the capsizing of their canoe. The tele sraphed account says: "The upset was caused by a gust of wind striking the new chantecler hat which adorned Miss Larkin's head The wide rim acted like sail" It was the wide rim of the hat that did it-not the ornamental bird, Miss Larkins peril would ave been equally great il in- stead Of a rooster she had worp a duck.

ASSESSOR JONES
 GETS INCREASES

Tax Assessor W. N. Jones, who spent yesterday in this city with ihs family, reports that he se- cured considerable increase in tke valuations of property on the first week of his rounds. During the week he made out about 600 personal prop erty lists and assessed about the same number of tracts of land He stated that the valuations of land will show large aggregate increase over last year, while personal property will keep up the same ratio. Cattle, ne said, are being valued at about an average of $10 head, which includes calves and yearlings. Mules are as- sessed at from $75 to $125, which As sessor Jones believes is at least 75 per cent of their true value. MT. Jones stated that he expected to secure some liberal increases in the valuation of city property when he begins the as sessment of property here. He left this morning for Greenbrier, and will not return home for two weeks.

RECREATION.

While some do not work enough to get the proper amount of physical ex- ercise, there are others who wear themselves out by too close applca. sion to their labors. A certain amount of rest is needed by every one. Men tai labor will tire the body as well as the mind. There is manual labor that requires close mental application. while there is some that requires no appreciable mental strain Every one should do some work of some kind. And every one is in need of some rest 1r recreation other than sleep. Idle cess is far from being rest, though there are instances when perfect idleness may be required. Change of 'ccupation brings a desired rest. If vour work Is manual labor, seek men. tai recreation, music, reading, an en- tertainment or social hour. If your work is chiefly mental, take some phys. ical exercise. Make use of a work bench, ride, walk or work in a garden. If 1t comes in your reach, follow the example of Gladstone or Lincoln and swing an ax, but with discretion Everyone who can should cultivate a habit of walking. One gets the fresh air and variety of things seen re- fresh thf mind. The observing person cannot yalk many blocks or far on g countr. road without gaining some good thought. Whatever your occupa- tion, choose that for recreation which calls into action different set of muscles and a different field for thought Change is the sauce that sharpens appetite"

A Real Gas Plant.

There are two varieties of gas plant
 One is a manufacturing establishment where coal is converted into gas for h' lumlnating and heating purposes. The other variety is real growing plant called the fraxinelln. Few know why the fraxlnella is called the "gas plant This is because at certain times It re- leases a volatile oil that actually ig- mites if allowed to come in contact with a lighted match. The fraxinella is also noted for It's fragrance and longevity if not disturbed. One plant fin a New England garden Is doing its best to outlive third generation, and elsewhere. a clump Is still flourish ing after no less than thlrty-seven years on a grave-one of the most diff flcult of places for perennial to keep up a long struggle for existence, let alone a normal life.-New York World.

Salt.

Salt production Is about the oldest industry in the world. In Italy, the cradle of the salt industry. 1t has been manufactured commercially for 2,5oo years. Salt is so necessary to ex- istence that In some parts of the world tribes will sell the members of their families In exchange for salt. Salt has been the cause of wars, and so im- portant has 1t always been considered that In some places the passing or salt is established as token of friend ship. and women throw salt on vis- itor as a friendly greeting. in some countries salt is so scarce that It is obtained through the ashes of grasses and a species of palm and other plants While salt Is produced In almost every country In the world. lt Is stated that nowhere cnn salt of such purity he obtained at anything like the cost for mining as in Louisiana. -Manufactur' CTS Record.

WHAT HURTS ALASKA

President MeRea. of the Pennsyl- vania railroad, 1t will be remembered. on his return from Alaska some time since stated that the value of the Bering river coal deposits had been exaggerated and that they would hardly pay to work in competition with coal more cheaply and easily mined. This is precisely what Secre- tA-y Fisher also said. Commenting on this, the New Orleans Picayune says Evidently Mir. McRea is not a very close observer. No one will imagine that the GuggenheIms and their friends would be willing to spend millions of dollars in order to secure largo tracts of Alaska coal lands un- less they were convinced by the re- ports of their engineers that the coal was there and that 1t could be broug' out at a profit"
 It s this kind of transformation, sedulously repeated, that has operat. ed to create the wrong impression about Alaska and to bring about the condition of stagnation which has af- flicted that territory for the past seven years. The Guggenheims and their frineds have not invested mill ions of dollars or even fractions of a cent in Alaska coal properties. The Guggenheims have built, at an enor- nous expense, a railroad to reach their own copper properties. The only connection which they have ever had with any Alaska coal claim was in the offer which thy made to some of the holders of claims in the Boring river district to extend a branch from their railroad to those coal fields, if given a working interest in the prop erty, with the assurance through that working interest that they could se- cure coal enough at a reasonable price for the operation of their rail- road and the smelters which they proposed to put in to reduce the cop per ore from their mines.
 -t was on accountof this proposal that the government cancelled the coal claims. The railroad was not built and there is remote prospect that it will be built for many years in the future. The Guggenheims have changed their locomotives to oil burn tanks and are operating their rail road, and will operate their smelters when the latter go in, with fuel oil from California. No one else is pre- pared to furnish the transportation, even if the mines are permitted to be opened, and there is now no possible inducement for the Guggenheims 10 construct the branch railroad. The damage has been done, and there is slim prospect of it's being repaired for many years.-Seattle P.-I.

He did not say what spe, ciaI products of the territory might produce this extraordinary amount, but when his lines of interest ar considered, it is reasonable to sup pose he meant gold, copper, coal and fish.-Ex.
