.ONELIEST SPOT ON EARTH.
rristan d'Acunha Is a Tiny Oasis In a
Wilderness of Water.
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,

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

' 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

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

THE RISE OF NEW YORK.
It Datea From tha Tima That the Erie
Canal Waa Opened.
If we seek tbe original creator of i

Goelets to De Wilt Clinton, the tinin
who in 1S25 pushed to completion the
Erie canal.
, Up to tout time New York was not

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

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

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." Lon

" A CHANCERY ROMANCE.
Helping Friend, Ha Unearthed a Far
tuna For Himaalf.
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

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

"My dear, you mustn't be so sharp
with strange young men. You know
you may give them a wrong impres

"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."

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

Richea and Contentment
"Contentment is better than riches."

FRENCH TOBACCO TESTERS.
Men Who Find Smoking Anything but
an Agreeable Task.
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. Exchange.
