When Napoleon was sent to St Hel ena it was thought that the loneliest place on earth bad been assigned to him as a prison. But St Helena is 1,400 miles nearer a continent than Is Tristan d'Acunha. Many hundred of of miles of ocean lie between this is land and its nearest neighbor. Tristan. in short, Is a tiny oasis in a boundless wilderness of waters, go from it in Milch direction you will. It is a rocky and cliff girt little isle, with a solitary mountain 1,000 feet high rearing itself from tbe midst Vet on this lonely speck of rock and earth there lives a community seem ingly happy In their isolation from all the rest of the world. They are farm ers, cattle raisers and shepherds. In tbe valleys of the island are fertile fields, where potatoes mainly are grown. The food of the people consists for the most part of beef, mutton, fowls, potatoes and fish. Tristan used formerly to produce many fruits and vegetables which can no longer be grown there. Tbe reason of this is that the island for a long time was overrun by rats which es caped from a ship that anchored there and which the people have been un able, it is said, ever entirely to exter minate. Harper's Weekly. How Seeds Travel. They have been discovering some ex traordinary plants in England, plnnts which puzzled the botanists, to whom they were either utterly unknown or known as growing only in far distuut lands. One naturalist picked on the grounds of the Bradford sewage works 1C0 species of foreign plants. Among these were several Australian burrs, Jimson weed, prickly poppies from Mexico, others native to Peru, Siberia and the Azores. All were of a prickly nature. Investigation proved that the dust from wool combing establishments was being used as fertilizer and the washings of wool were run into tbe sewers. The burrs of these foreign plants had come in the wool and had grown. Other plants had sprung from seed In rags and others been brought in soil on foreign timber. New York World. Why Bother About he Rest? "Does you husband carry any life in surance?" "I don't know." "I should think you would want to be informed about a matter that would be so serious to you." "How could It be serious to me?" ' "Why, If he died you would wish to know whether he had left you any thing or not. wouldn't you 7" "Ob. If be died he would leave me a widow, and I should know that right away." Chicago Record-Herald, A' i i Z " v , - A WOMEN IN PORTUGAL ! Thaw n All thm Hard Work WhUa Lazy Man Loll and Smoke. ' Tbe lot of women Id Portugal is Dot in enviable oue, according to Mr. Au brey F. C Bell, who In his book. "In Portugal." thus describes tbe labor that falls to their share: "Portuguese tuen ure so notoriously Indolent that it Is uo exaggeration to say that two-thirds of the work of Por tugal is done by women. To them tbe Portuguese word mourejar is really ap- j pllcable, since. Id fact, they work like Moors or slaves, j ney worK in tue fields and appear to bear tbe brunt of tbe labor. "In one field tbe woman in the heat of the day draws up bucket after buck et of water while the man sits perched fn a shady olive tree. In the neighbor ing field a man watches six women at work among the maize. In a third a group of women stand working in the summer sun while a group of men sit at the same work under a vine trel lis. "Everywhere are to be seen women with huge loads of immense weight. while tbe men accompany them empty banded. Tbe man lies In his ox cart and must have a clgarro and a cope of wine or brandy after his hard day's work, or be sits at bis counter and bids his wife go out into the cruel sunshine to fetch a heavy bllten of water or other provisions. Women work In tbe quarries. Women row heavy barges. I Wherever there la hard work women are to be found.' THE RISE OF NEW YORK. It Datea From tha Tima That the Erie Canal Waa Opened. If we seek tbe original creator of i look over the heads of Astor and tbe Goelets to De Wilt Clinton, the tinin who in 1S25 pushed to completion the Erie canal. , Up to tout time New York was not Inevitably marked out for the Ame- t - ii . t ioia tiv, 1 1 ..i . i , : i .can weirupuus ... -.ow was aciuuuy a larger c.iy, nuu dh.u' more, with its splendid harbor aDd its Inland river communication, confident ly expected to grasp the nation's com mercial leadership. But the Erie canal changed the situ ation in a twinkling. Ir placed the city , immunicution with inland New i In com York an agricultural empire in Itself, whose wealth bad previously flowed by way of the Susquehanna river to Baltimore and New York became the seaport for the agricultural states bor dering ou the great lake. Until the Erie canal wa opened it had cost $S8 a ton to transport wheat from Buffalo to Albany. With this new waterway the cost fell to some thing more than $.". A string of cities, several of which became large ones, sprang up along Its 'course, all tribu tary to New York. Burton J. Hendrk-k In McClure's Magazine. Unconscious Bravery. At a place called Anghln. about for ty miles south of Baugkok. a China man and bis wife cultivated a small sugar cane plantation. Tbe man had been greatly annoyed by having his cane eaten by his neighbors' buffalo calves. Coming borne one evening just ! at dark, he sawwhat he thought was i one of the marauders at work on the I cane. Stealing silently up behind it , he struck It a mighty blow with a j heavy club. Tbe animal dropped with i out a sound. The Chinaman told bis I wife what he had done and added. "That calf will steal no more of my cane." In the moruing he found that i the "calf was a full grown tiger. He j had killed it by breaking its neck. Just as the woman of Nafn had done. And j John was so much impressed with his own narrow escape that be took to his bed and was sick for a week. Youth's Companion. A Glaas Neddie Stiletto. As diabolical a specimen of murder ous Ingenuity ns ever was discovered by the police was found oue day in the possession of a Chinamnn who bad been working in a laundry in New Or lenns and who was believed to have intended using it upon his employer It was a tiny stiletto, with a handle about as thick as a carpenter's pencil and a blade four inches long of glass, pointed as keenly as a needle. A tiny groove hud been filed around the blade close to the bilt Suppose it was driv en into a man's body. It would be cer tain to brek off at tbe groove and leave three inches of glass deep in his flesh. What is more, the puncture would be so tiny that It would prob ably close at once and show no mark, not even a single drop of blood. Wouldn't Have Missed. As a battalion was returning from rifle practice at the ranges a shot was discharged from the leading company, apparently by accident but the bullet passed uncomfortably close to the colo nel. "Look here," he roared to the cap tain of the company, "who fired that shot?" "Sir." replied the officer proud ly, "It can't be a man of my company, for tbey are all first class shots."

Perhaps there is no more carious rbapter In tbe history of the chancery courts than that of two Pittsburgh men. Tbe first bad a claim to a small estate abroad, but be did not have tbe money to pay the claim agency to make a search, so be gut a friend to back him. This friend's name was Peterman, nnd money he advanced was like a gru Btake he was gambling on his trleui'a claim proving up. One day when Peterman was at tbe claim agency office he came upon this advertisement in the agency files: "Pe terman" (Albertus). musician, born in Amsterdam in 1820. son of Charles Frederick and Henrietta Suzanna Gas man. Left for Liverpool in 185a He Is sought for Inheritance by M. Con tot, avocat, 21 Boulevard St Germain. Paris." That was the Inception of the fa mous "Kinsey docks" case, the name coming from the fact that the original Peterman was last seen at Klnsey docks. In Liverpool. The claim agency took the matter in hand, traced Peter man's lineage back and enabled him to. establish a good claim to an Inher itance of $200,000. That was a case of fortune being thrust upon a man. Lewis Edwin Thelss In Harper's Weekly. JOBS FOR THE INDIGENT. 8wiaa Metnod of Solving the Problem of the Unemployed. In Switzerland the people act upon tbe theory that a man who Is unem- nlnrtul t If lefr tn llimsplf ll.'lhlp to !' , K 1F ,,,,. ctiarlty and a tax upon the community.

Chicago Tribune. Motherly Advice. "My dear, you mustn't be so sharp with strange young men. You know you may give them a wrong impres sion.'" "What's the matter now, mother?" "You scarcely spoke a word to that young man you were Introduced to last evening." "I didn't like his way. mother." "Did you know himV" "No; I'd never met him before." "Do you know anything about him?" "Nothing, except that be seemed to me to be very impertinent" "Still, you shouldn't have snubbed him. at least uutil you had learned more about him. Once 1 snubbed a young man that way without knowing who he was. and I regretted It ever after, because I found out later that he was very rich. 1 might have mar ried him If 1 bad been more careful." Detroit Free Press. Why Bruises Become Black and Blue. The color of blood Is due chiefly to j Iron in the little blood cells. When the iron is kept in these little blood ; cells, which are living and traveling around In the blood vessels, the color is red. Hit the skin hard enough to break 50ine of the little blood vessels beneath the surface and the little red cells escape from the injured blood vessels, wander about for awhile in the tissues and die. When they die the Iron that made them red before then changes to black and blue color ing. After awhile this iron is taken up by the glands called tbe lymphatics and made over again into nice red cells. The iron Is taken up very much more quickly by the lymphatics if the black and blue spot is rubbed and massaged iL Nicholas. His Painful Debut. "I shall rot easily forget my debut," Sir Charles Wyudhara said ou one oc casion. "We opened at Washington, and I appeared as a character who had to declare, '1 am tlr.jnk with love and enthusiasm.' Having uttered the first three words. 1 was seized with stage fright and said no more. This Is what I read in a New York paper the next morning: A Mr. Wyndham represented a young man from South America. He had better go there him self. " Richea and Contentment "Contentment is better than riches." said the ready made philosopher. "True." replied Mr. Dustin Stax. "but my observation Is that a man who Is rich has a better chance of becoming content than a man who is contented has of becoming rich." Washington Star. Alike, Yet Different.

The French government's official tasters of tobacco form a category of civil servants of whose activity little Is known outside their own depart ment Tobacco Is a state monopoly In France, and these experts are employ ed under the ministry of finance to re port on nil classes of tobacco that are permitted to be sold in France. The men are mostly superannuated Inspec tors of tobacco factories. Their hours of business are from 0 to 5. As a rule. It is the lower grades of tobacco that need the most careful attention. They have to report not only on the cigars, cigarettes and pipe tobaccos put on the market by the French Tobacco Regie, but also on nil Imported tobacco. Smoking when compulsory Is any thing but an agreeable duty, these employees say. They areln constant danger from Ills caused by tbe exces sive use of tobacco, and they combat these by taking Inrge quantities of black coffee, which Is also said to as sist them to differentiate between tbe various kinds of tobacco on which they have to give their opinion.
