A TTEN D Sant Julia de Loria, the rival of Andorra la Villa, U the great trade and smuggling center. It has about 600 inhabitants only, but can boast several large shope and warehouses full of contraband commodities openly displayed. As s matter at fact, the whole nation is more or less smugglers— on principle. They hare neither import nor export du ties themselves, and they are fully persuaded of the benefits of free trade for everybody. France makes commodities wanted in Spain, Spain growe articles required in France, and Andorra lies between these two nations. What more natural, there fore, than that she should give aid to both her neighbors— for s con sideration, of course? But smug gling in Andorra is not looked upon as a fraudulent business. On the contrary, it is considered an honora ble ana legitimate profession— al most an art—and one that in its higher branches requires many apti tudes — business capacity, astute ness, diplomacy, a thorough knowl edge of the art o f bribery and a military method for directing one’s forces and commanding one’s sub ordinates. For instance, a wealthy Andorran goes over the border into Spain and buys up cheaply thou sands o f sheep, which he pays for in Spanish money. They are driv en home to his mountain pastures, where they are marked with his ci pher. Then, in company with his headman, he strolls casually across to the French frontier— every inch of which he and his underlings know by heart— and drops into the hut of the commandant of the douaniers for a chat. Before leav- i ing the commandant naturally of fers him a petit verre, and bank notes o f greater or less value are left lying on the table. Nothing definite is said; nobody’ s conscience lor dignity is compromised. A few days later thousands of Andorran sheep are sold in the markets of France and paid for in French mon ey. How did they get across the frontier? Ah, that’s just the point The mere fact of buying with Span ish money and selling for French means from 20 to 30 per cent profit without counting the difference in the prices of the animals. In addi tion to sheep, hides, “■ tobacco, matches, olive oil, superior quali ties of wines, salt, sngar'and ultra- marine are the principal commodi ties smuggled into France. The ar ticles that go into Spain are mostly glass and china fancy articles, bric- a-brac, paper and cutlery; also a large number of mules. The lat ter are bought in a wretched state for almost a song in France, turned out to grass on the splendid Andor ran pastures for a few months and sold in Spain at the end of the sea son for a high figure.— Wide World Magazine.

The w ife 'o f a new member of congress was much distressed by the unexpected appearance of an old sweetheart of her daughter— a big, good natured son of the west, though of a rather crude exterior. “‘ Alice,” said the mother one day, i “ I don’t understand how you can put up with Jim now that you’ve been associating with so many fine i young men in the east. I should ; think he would grate on you,, Don’t ¡ you find him a little rough ?" I “ Yes, ms,” answered she, hltuh- | ing. “ And yet Jim tells me that he shaves every day.” — Ladies’ Home j Journal. Talent and Vocation. Each man has his own vocation. ¡The talent is the call. There is | one direction in which all space is ! open to him. He has faculties si lently inviting him thither to end- |less exertion. He is like a ship in | s river. He runs against obstruc tions on every side but one. On 1 i that side all obstruction is taken sway, and he sweeps serenely over God's depths into an infinite sea. This talent and this call depend on his organization or the mode ill which the general soul incarnates itself in him.— Emerson. j' ia to merit is m ent your yc patronage and to that end we have spared no pains to supply our customers with the best the market affords.

In 1861 Dr. Lincecum. a learned Texas physician, wrote to Darwin that he had discovered the “ agri- cultural ant that lived in towns sur rounded by farms that were regu larly tilled.” After receiving this account Darwin wrote to Dr. Lince cum asking whether he thought that the ants planted seed for the next year’s crop and received the following answer: “ I have not the slightest doubt of it, and my con clusion has not been reached from hasty or careless examination. I have watched the same kind of anta during The last twelve years, and T know that what I state is true. 1 visited their towns yesterday and found the ant rice growing finely and showing the signs of high cul tivation.” — New York American. 38c SPEND THE SUMMER AT NEWPORT, YAQUINA BAY T he Only Beach in the Pacific Northwest Where the pretty W ater Agates, M on Agates.
