A Mysterious Phenomenon
Numbers of explorers who have
.sought the Arctic regions in quest
of the pole have told of a mysteri-
ouscity mirrored against that north-
ern sky statelybuildings in choice
architecture tall and imposing
spires but such as difler from any-
thing we know of. Whether the.
foundation'of this mirage is a real-
ity and only unrecognized because
of transportation as to directions
"whether it is the work of some
mysterious remnant of our race
that once occupied the pole or
"whether this ib some fanciful fea-
ture of the frost as the peculiar
shrubbery we sometimes see on the
window pane whatever this is it
must be consigned to the perplex
ing enigmas of the unknown region.
; Who knows but that some spot
once the theater of busy and ad-
vanced human life may have es-
caped the general cataclysmal
wreck and that this city may be
the silent and as yet undiscovered
witness .of pre-polar time standing
alone in the dead desolation in the
frigid shroud of now polar death!
If we must be barred from enter-
ing this undiscovered country we
may add to our equipment vby a
careful noting of its mirage and
then give to the basis of these phe-
nomena a most thorough study.

In Rural France.
In France the the trend of the
rural population is that the aug
mentation is taking place in the
class that owns and cultivates their
holdings. There are 1800000
holdings of twenty-five acres and
below and of these. 2167 G67 do
not exceed an area of two and one-
balf acres. Now whether a farm
be large or small it must conform
to the common laws of being culti-
yated Jn accordance with local
natural necessities and the most
economical employment of capital
and labor. Produce more and pro-
duce cheap that will enable top
prices to be realized such should
be the aim of all cultivators wheth-
er large or small. That is the end
also in view in industry. In France
tbe farms of 100-acres and above
that are on the decrease; those un-
der twenty-five acres show most
augmentation and their holdings
between 25 and 100 acres.
Fads and Collectors.
Among the people who-
have
time .enough to have a good timefmovement of general merchandise
weeks at least.
Bradstreet's
reports that the
there is said to be difficulty every
now and then in finding amuse-
ments with which to defy dull care
and assist the onward steps qf
"Father Time who seems disposed
festina lente. Therefore hints on
the subject are thankfully received.
Fads are the salvation of the idle
and when there are quite a num
ber of faddists in one circle thoy
sometimes have fad parties where
each person carries or wears the
article of their fancy. At one such
party one young appeared decked
with scarf pins until he bristled
like the fretful porcupine. Another
flourished a Malayan "krease"
while the sword of Bunker Hill
a his right side and tripped him
up at every other step. An inter
esting maniac suffering from the
stamp craze had dados of pink and
green and copper colored stamps
about his trousers and a border of
them on his coat. One lady had
fans and another blue china' while
a third went in for mementos of the
little corporal and a coquette had
a cane with the likenesses off the
fortunate swains she had declined
to make miserable depending from
it-
Coins are said to be very popu-
lar. There are thousands of peo
ple who are engaged in collecting
them as if .their lives depended up-
on their success and not infre-
quently they do. When the coin
fad becomes a habit it is called a
-busines instead of a mania. Bills
are also collected though they are
not so common that it is really a
wonder that they still remain in
favor. Those stamped "paid" are
always preferred though hundred
dollar bills never go begging.
Sometimes the collecting mania
takes most peculiar forms. There
recently died in California an aged
woman who had thirteen well
authenticated husbands with sev-
eral counties yet to hear from.
However she can hardly be consid-
ered a collector because all these
husbands that she didn't leave left
her and all that she "had to show
of "how they met and loved andj
throughout the country has been
smaller in volume and sales have
been largely of' a hand to mouth
description.
Ill the reports of these two com.
mercial agencies the intimation is
clear that trade is in a condition of
waiting and that an .enlargement of
the volume of transactions and
greater activity generally is contin-
gent upon the settlement of the tar-
iff question. In its review of the
money market the New. York Ev
ening Post concedes greatest im-
portance to the real indication that
the Federal senate is waking up to
action and expresses the general
opinion that if any industrial im-
provement is to come this season
it will follow agreement on import
duties. Thus it appears that trade
and industry are standing at the
door of the United States senate
patiently awaiting the decision of
that body as to when tfiey may re-
sume operations. Meanwhile there
is another settlement that of the

Tobacco as an Insecticide.
The old-time remedy of tobacco
ia rapidly coming into favor again.
For cheapness it can hardly be
equalled as only the refuse stems
of the poorest quality need be
Hied: In fact these are better
than the stems of fine Havana be-
cause poor tobacco contains a great-
er quantity of nicotine which is
the active poison that kills the in-
jects. The decoction is made by
steeping a pound of stems in a gal-
lon of hot water. After it has
cooled the liquid is strained off and
applied with an ordinary spraying
apparatus. Spraying with tobacco
tea is recommended for the flea
beetles on tomatoes potatoes cab-
bage and radishes also as a spe-
Jcific for lice ticks and other ex-
ternal parasites of animals This
frcmedy has the recommendation
.that it is not a dangerous poison to
'have around where children and
innocent animals may get at it.

parted" were her various divorce
papers.
The matrimonial iad is exempli-
fied much better in the case of
James Wellington Brown of Mich-
igan. He has in that state the
neat little collection of twenty-six
wives and still there's moreto
follow. The trouble with Brown
was that he couldn't get them al-
together in a cabinet or museum.
He has four wives in Detroit two
of them in one ward but still he is
not happy The California wom-
an seems to have been on a search
similar to that Of Diogenes but
not being a philospher she had less
difficulty in finding a man or what
purported to be a man but Mr.
Brown loves the whol lair sex and
desires to appropriate as many as
possible.
Women do not make a valuble
collection. They do not always
improve with age nnn they require
very handsome surroundings to
show them off to advantage. Their
price does jiot seem to be above
rubies as has been erroneously
stated but still no one could con-
scientiously recommend a collec-
tion of wives. Mr. Brown had
better start awoman's brigade of
Coxeyites. They might go to
Washington picking up Mr.
Brown's other wives on the way
as a petition for a uniform mar-
riage and divorce law in the Uni-
ted States.- Rocky Mountain

Congressmen Object.
Members of congress like other
mortals object to any reduction of
their pay.
It has heretofore been the cus-
tom of a member to draw the full
amount of his salary without any
deduction on account of hiB absence
from duty and it might have con-
tinued to be so if there had not
been so much shirking.
It became a matter of public no
toriety and public scandal that for
weeks it was almost impossible for
the house to secure a quorum for
the transaction of business because
of the absence of so many members
and on more than one'occasion the
sergeant-at-arms had to be sent out
to round them up. He has been.
docking them lately for lost time
and they object to the proceeding
most strenuously. It is even hinted
that some of them have failed to
own up to any loss time while
others have pleaded guilty to two
or three days' abesence during- a
month in which they were hardly
in their seats at all. It is said the
speaker and sergeant-at-arms will
not go behind the returns and. it
looks like there wouldn't be enough
realized from the docking process
to pay the expenso of compelling
the attendance of enough members
o constitute a quorum. Howov-
jr the rule is new in its operations
ind need not bo too severe this
lime but the delinquents should
be given to understand that no
mercy will be shown in the future.
