N,+ur.s Monument to Washington.


Among the many monuments to
Washington is the one which every
.isitor to the Cape Verde Islands Will
remember as one Of the most colossal
and marvellous freaks Of natural SOUP
ture in existence. Along the fartner
side of the harbor of San Vicente. the
principal town, rises bold ridge OF
dark gray volcanic rocks, the crest OF
which forms an exact likeness Of our
immortal George, seemingly lying face
upward, as If in peaceful sleep. The
hero's large. bold features, the back
ward wave of the hair, his massive
shoulders and even the frill Of the shirt
front are all reproduced on gigantic
scale with wonderful exactness. The
strange monument, sharply outlined
against the deep blue Of the tropical
sky, Is one Of the first objects that
meet ones eye in approaching the is
land. Its gigantic proportions. with
the boundless ocean for background.
form a portrait wonderfully true to ma
ture and overpowering in its magniti-
cence.

a Lions Vanity.

The intricacies Of a great mans
character are often simplicities to his
wife. Once. when the present poet
laureate had paid visit TO Tenny-
son. his immediate predecessor. Tenny-
son walked with him as far as the
gate which led to the highway. There,
says Mr.. Alfred Austin in his recent
autobiography. while the elder poet
stood leaning on the gate. Il party OF
wide eyed sightseers appeared.
What vulgar people the English
are!" Tennyson exclaimed. They
come here to watch for me. and when
they see me they say, quite loudly,
There's Tennysonr
Mr.. Austin afterward repeated this
to La6y Tennyson. who smiled tender
ly, but archly.
"My husband would be much more
annoyed if the people didn't come"
she said.

The Air Mih.

The air mile is a unit of measure
ment that came into use with the ad-
vancement Of aviation. We have the
land mile and the sea mile. which is
approximately one-seventh longer than
the land mile Of America. The nautical
mile is often incorrectly called knot,
but a knot is measure OF both dis
lance and time. 1t Is correct to say
that a vessel makes ten knots. but to
say that she makes ten knots an hour
Is tautology. Tho air mile Is measured
differently from the land mile and the
sea mile. 1t is a land mile minus the
retardation Of an adverse wind or plus
the aecleration of q fayoring vino.
Thus an aviator could cover many air
miles while lowering over given point
on the earths surface. - Browning 8

pIuckino Shesn.

The pure bred sheep in Shetland are
not shorn. but plucked. The process
takes place generally in June. when
the fleece is ripe" and the silky wool
can be pulled off without pain. This Is

with shears. The wool when thus han

handling prevailed at one time, for we
read that in 1915 the Scottish privy
council spoke Of the custom as still
kept up 'in some remote. and uncivi

them that it had been put down IN Ire

this they passed an act on March II.
1915. deploring tne destruction OF sheep
thus caused and imposing similar fines
on those who should persist In the

Cleanliness and Arsenic.

In Styria and Carinthia there is
much arsenic eating among the peas
ants. The women take. 1t to give
themselves q good complexion and to
make their hair fine and glossy. The
men take 1t because they believe that
1t gives them wind In climbing in the
chase after chamois. In ~Styrta and
Carinthia 1t is known that an arsenic
eater can never be broken Of the habit
and that If arsenic be compulsorily
kept from the eater death rapidly en-
sues. 1t Is believed In the Tamar-
and this is perhaps true-that an ar
senic worker is fit for no other work.
He must remain at this occupation.
Health and breath fail him at other
employments Eventually 1t may be
that chronic arsenica poisoning en-
sues. But this may be staved of. If
not wholly prevented. by scrupulous
cleanliness. by care taken Lot only to
wash in the changing house, but to
bathe freely at home. As one OF the
foremen said to the writer. Against
arsenic the best antidote is soap taken
externally."- Journal.

VALUABLE ORE
NEAR THE CITY
Gold Content in Property of Baum
and McKinnon, 5 Miles From
Town, Assays Nearly SO Per
Ton.-Better Prospects.

Gold ore that assays $500 to the
ton and seems to become more valu-
able as the development work con-
tinues, has Just ueen mined from the
claims belonging to Messrs. Baum
and McKinnon, miles south of this
city.
Several days ago Mr.. Baum took
out some of the ore from the surface
and few inches below and the as
say thereof was received here today.
1t shows that the gold values run
to $3.50 as well as valuable con-
tent of silver and lead.
The gold exists in a blue quartz,
which seems to disintegrate as the
lead goes down, and Mr.. Baum be-
lieves that the value will increase to
! Sl2 and SIS ton as soon as proper
development is made.
This low grade proposition will
| probably prove a source of consider
able revenue in the next few years
to the owners as they continue to
| develop the property.

manufacturers should also have
been removed, as the special rea-
son for protection had ceased.
But in the meantime the priv
legged few had discovered that in
the tariff lay a means by which
they could build up enormous
fortunes. These fortunes were
pointed as an evidence that the
tariff was a good thing. The
rich protectionists fooled the peo-
pie by making them believe that
these fortunes had come from
the foreigners" when the fact
was the fortunes had been wrung
from the common people who
had been forced to pay artificial
ly high prices for the things they
had to have in order to live.
The leaders of the party of
protection must have known in
their hearts of this deception,
and then and there did humbug
and fraud become partand parcel
OF politics. But the people have
learned at last that a tariff for
any other purpose than to raise
sufficient revenue to meet the ex-
penses of the government, has
no excuse in logic or economies.
The party will not admit its err
ror. Republican leaders insist
that the tariff trusts are still in
the infant class, and that the
tariff is a good thing for the peo-
pie.
In the meantime American
consumers are today paying divi-
dends on trust capitalization of
thirty-three billion dollars, sew
enty per cent of which is water,
and American workman those
who work for the most highly
protected trusts receive wages
as low as Sc, 81 and So week.
This is the big reason why the
Republican party is beset bv it's
present difficulties.
