GOLD MINING NEAR HOME Oold Is mined within sight of Wash tngton monument The heights around the capital are really a part of the Ap palachian system and before the out break of the gold fever in California all the gold produced In the United States eame out of the Appalachian mlnea. Only the ores that contained free mill ing gold could be worked with the crude processes then known, says the Tech nical World. Then, too, because of the presence of aubterranean atreams. min ing could not be done at any great depth -1 , v Neverthelees, gold mines are In profit able operation today In Maryland and eouthweatem Virginia, and these gold vein a badly broken and disintegrated, are being . worked down through the Carolines and ' Into Georgia and Ala bama. ., ' , There Is not a ravine or guloh'ln tbfc environs of Wsshlngton City where. If a man dig down to the gravel and black sand that lie over bedrock, he cannot, by panning, get a color. It has not bbea found In sufficient quantities to make placer mining attractive, though meny men have waahed out enough gold to have a ring or charm made. " . A few miles west of Washington a man may. see several small mines, some la operation and some abandoned. Great areaa of gold-bearing rock have been uncovered or blocked out. Oold la ob tained, but In many instanoea It baa coat more to extract It than the gold waa worth. At present there is one mine la which extensive operations are being carried on. and though the operators do not tslk for .publication, the belief la general that they are making a good profit from the mine, , There are thousands of tone ef ore in sight, and If yon take a pound of the ore, crush It and waah it. a fair amount of gold Is obtained. Much of the ore assays high, but getting th yellow stuff out In psylng quantities Is the problem. , . .-....' WOMEN'S CIGARS ' .. . '. . ; I The Tabaco Grande, a Smoke That Lasts a Da. ; The greatest consumers of Philippine tobacco are the Filipinos themselves. With a population - of 1,000.000, prac tically all of whom, even the non-Chrie-tlen tribes, sre incesssnt smokers, usu ally Including women and children as well aa men, and wltn many aismcis where tobaeoo la aot raised for family consumption, the consumption ef to baooo must be many times the value ef the export. In the Cagayan a moat unique oustom prevails among the women, says the Bclentlflo American, who smoke a hugs cigar, the tabaeo grande, which reaches a length of from to Inches to t feet end is several Inches In dtamater. These huge eigsre are smoked off and on for a day and a half or two days. Some times a tabaos grands Is suspended In ths middle from a rafter in the dwelling and all the women folk of the family puff In turn. The men stnoks ths elgarettea or the ordinary slied cigar. Nine-tenths of all ths tobacco raised In ths Islands, and practically all that la used commercially. Is produoed In the vast Csgaysn valley ef central and northern Luson. a region of which even many Americana In the Islands bave little first hand knowledge The valley Is out of the general Una of travel, aad attention was aot directed to It during the Insurrections Its people were pa Clflcoa. ' . yet here Is one of the meet fertile valleys' In the Philippines. Perhapa It Is among the richest In the- world, For a period of more than 140 yeare tobacco has been raised on the overflowed lands ef the valley without artificial fertilisa tion. It la the custom of the Csgsyans to raise one crop of tobacco and one Crop of corn on the same land la ona year. In two succeeding years two crops of tobeooo and three crops of corn hsve fteen produced from the same soil. The bulk of the tobacco In the Caga yan la raised like so much hey. Little attention Is given to the details ef eur Ing and harvesting, which In the eass of so Intricate a crop demand both sctentlflo and experienced treatment. Most ef the good tobacco land la the overflowed land, which consists mainly of small pocketa, belts sad patches, with occasionally greater areas of level land lying along the bed ef the Cagayan river and Its tributaries and whloh doubtless formed the bed of the river at an early period. YALE'S CHINESE BRANCH Called Ya-Ll, or the College ef He fant Proprieties. The ' branch which Tale established at Chang-sha, China, last November has been named Ya-Ll, whlch name waa selected because of Its similarity In sound .to the neme of the original insti tution. It means "elegant proprieties" so that the new college starts out with a hlah aounding title. The compllera of the catalogue of TA LI have Inserted certain requirements or oriental usage that have caused the Tale men who have been taking a look at the book muoh amusement. Among the rules laid down la that "every stu dent shall ehave once a week and comb his queue at least three timea" In a footnote the faculty explains that shav ing refers to the front part ef the head, not the chin. As far aa the catalogue states. Dr. Hume, who is ths American saedloal member ef . the faculty, has not Insisted ea any ether strenuous rules ef sanitation. The old Tale ouetorn that waa In vogue here for lot years er more and waa only discontinued when President Hadley became the head of the univer sity, that of bowing to the president as he passed out ef chapel at the close of morning prayers, has been Inaugurated at Ta-LL This custom, however, le re served for state and ceremonial occa sions. The liberality of the Tale faculty tn dealing eut holidays baa amssed the Chinese students, for tt days eut of the total ef ttt ef the year means u the oriental mind an unprecedented amount ef leisure To the Chinamen, who are aooustomed te epend every moment from sunrise to sundown, every day In the month, in study or work the regular Saturday afternoon and Sunday recess Is a bonansa.
