The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. HENRY KUCHEL, CHARLES KUCHEL, Editors and Proprietors. THURSDAY JANUARY 13, 1898 CONSIDERABLE discussion has been indulged in of late relative to the necessity for the formation of the deciduous fruit-growers into an exchange, similar to the orange exchange. The plan suggested is for the formation of local associations, controlled by local stockholders, to secure efficient grading, curing and packing of fruit. Then will follow the local exchanges, each made up of representatives of several of the local associations, to look after the interests of the district as a whole, and to centralize, so far as may be necessary, the work of the several associations. Then a central exchange, composed of representatives from the several local exchanges, to conduct the business of shipping and selling the product through their own agents or otherwise, according to well-established business methods, and with regard to strict justice to all interests involved. This is a business proposition, not a matter of sentiment, and must be undertaken on that basis. A few of the public-spirited fruit-growers of Southern California have met twice in convention at Los Angeles, and after careful deliberation determined to recommend the plan here outlined, and unanimously requested A. R. Sprague to act as general organizer of the system, with instructions to push it forward as rapidly as possible; and then, realizing how useless it is to attempt such a task without money to carry on the work of organization, they put their hands into their pockets, each according to his ability, and started a fund to be used for organization—these subscriptions to be repaid by the exchange when fully organized. Feeling that this movement will increase the value of all fruit lands in Southern California, they confidently look to all fruit-growers to aid this movement, and trust that the work preliminary to organizing local associations will be undertaken by each community without delay. The heartiest co-operation Friday last, and that the infuriated Seminoles had already massacred twenty-five men, women and children. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS For The Week Ending January 10, 1898.

To help brace up prices instead of, as now, to batter them down by bidding against each other for a chance to sell in the crowded markets of the East. To attend to their own business, instead of, as now, leaving the most important part of it—the marketing of products—wholly in the hands of persons often indifferent to their interests. To make all savings possible to combined effort, and impossible to individual efforts. To extend the demand for deciduous fruits in our own and foreign markets—an accomplishment easy for the growers combined, but impossible to them as individuals. Mr. Sprague may be prevailed upon to come to Anaheim and address the deciduous fruit-growers at the next meeting of the Farmers' Club on the 31st inst. Due notice of his coming will be given, and it is urged that as large an attendance as possible of deciduous fruit-growers be present to hear him outline the methods of forming these new associations. ANAHEIM is the oldest colony in the State. The first vines were planted on the site of the colony in 1858—forty years ago. The early history is one fraught with interest, because, as may well be imagined, there were obstacles to contend with and overcome which required the exercise of patience as well as of forethought and ingenuity. The progress of the colony was successful, and the pioneers have lived to see the county, which was a vast cattle range when they first beheld it, transformed into the richest, most fertile and most desirable county in California. The Anaheim pioneers feel a pride in this, for it was they who first rescued from the browsing herd the soil which produces fruits and wines and food for millions of people. It was they who first demonstrated the possibilities of land which, in those early days, and for years thereafter, was considered unit for the growth of anything but the natural grasses. They planted the vine, and it grew soluxuriantly that they were satisfied, and did not seek to experiment further. But as time progressed there came new people, with new ideas; and the colonists were in their turn surprised at the wonderful diversity of products which the land about them was made to produce. The domain of the cattle king was restricted more and more every year, and the land wrested from then, realizing how useless it is to attempt such a task without money to carry on the work of organization, they put their hands into their pockets, each according to his ability, and started a fund to be used for organization—these subscriptions to be repaid by the exchange when fully organized. Feeling that this movement will increase the value of all fruit lands in Southern California, they confidently look to all fruit-growers to aid this movement, and trust that the work preliminary to organizing local associations will be undertaken by each community without delay. The heartiest co-operation with the Citrus Exchange is desired and expected. Gill—SE‡ of lot 16, block E, of the Chapman tract, 9.677 acres; $17.50. Z. B. West and wife, Lizzie E. West, to J. W.

They planted the vine, and it grew so luxuriantly that they were satisfied, and did not seek to experiment further. But as time progressed there came new people, with new ideas; and the colonists were in their turn surprised at the wonderful diversity of products which the land about them was made to produce. The domain of the cattle king was restricted more and more every year, and the land wrested from him was planted with the orange, the lemon and lime—the apple, the peach and the pear. Anaheim was for so long an isolated section of the sparsely settled county that it may be said to have been an empire in itself. The people made their own laws, and enforced them; they dealt with affrays as they sprang up with no other restraint upon their actions than that of a sense of stern justice and a desire to do what was right. The town has grown into one of the most flourishing communities in the State, and on the next Fourth of July it will celebrate the fortieth anniversary of its founding in a manner befitting the occasion. JOAQUIN MILLER arrived at Dawson from Circle City on December 4th. He was very badly frozen, having lost a part of the great toe of his left foot; his left ear was sluffing off, and both cheeks were frozen. He left Circle City thirty-five days before in company with Harold Caravan of Canada, late of the coast survey. They started for Circle City without dogs, having been unable to secure them. They pulled their outfit on a sled. Miller brings a story of great suffering along the river by parties who were caught in the ice on their way to Yukon, but who had not yet reached Circle. He reports also the death of Chas. Anderson, a young man from Brooklyn, N.Y., who accidentally shot himself while in a boat about fifty miles above Circle City. INFORMATION comes from the Indian territory that a band of 150 Seminole Indians are on the warpath and are leaving behind them a trail of blood.

On January 24th the Santa Fe Route will sell round trip tickets to Los Angeles at a rate of one and one-third fares for the round trip, good to return to and including Jan. 25th, 1898. jy13-1t A startling story of man's inhumanity is told by Edmund E. Coy, formerly of Kaslo, who has just arrived at Victoria, B.C., from Dawson. His tale is to the effect that, after having fallen and broken his leg on the trail, he was robbed, stripped and left to die on the desolate mountain path by his partner and companion. Coy went north last summer with a Vancouver party, and during his three months' residence in the Klondike country he accumulated $1500, chiefly through tobacco speculation. Of this amount he brought back $1000, leaving Dawson late in November with $700 in gold dust in a body belt and $300 in a valise on a dog sleigh When 500 miles this side of Dawson. Coy met with a bad fall, which brought a fracture on his right hip, previously broken and set years ago. While he lay helpless, his partner not only pushed on with the dogs and sleigh, but relieved him of a fur coat and appropriated his valise, leaving him alone in the wilderness, with the belief that he would soon freeze to death. Realizing his desperate condition, Coy managed to drag himself a mile further along the trail, where he met a party of inbound minors, who for $200 carried him to Skaguay. The officials there refused to apprehend his inhuman partner, as the alleged robbery was committed in Canadian territory. Coy is determined to punish his former companion and is conferring with the provincial police authorities. William Parks was buried at Gowan City, Penn., on Saturday. His body was placed in a grave which already contained both of his legs and one arm. He was 70 years old and left a large estate. Parks was born at Detroit, and married there Bessie Woodruff, who lived only a year afterward. After her death he broke his leg, and as the re- How a Chicago Woman Fainted.

SEEING THE ELEPHANT A Texas Cowboy Makes The While His Ammunition EL PASO, Tex., Jan. 9.-rough,nan American cowboy Mexicans in a gun fight Norte at 2 o'clock this morning himself mortally wounded,a police station a few hours first man he killed was a Mehler who brought on the affray killed the first policeman to shotthe horse from under itsof police and shot that officer sult of blood poison, three amputations were performed. After his recovery he married the sister of his dead wife, and while on their wedding tour the train was wrecked, his second wife was killed, and his other leg had to be amputated as a result of his injuries. The leg was buried by the side of the first leg in the cemetery at Gowan City. A year later he married Bessie White, who lived on an adjoining farm. She was an invalid, and had one arm. She died three years after her marriage, in Detroit, leaving him a son and an estate of $20,000. He went back to his father's home and engaged Maria Lawler to nurse his child. He eventually married her, and fitted up a home for her and the child. While his father was on his death-bed the house caught fire, and the fourth Mrs. Parks and the boy perished. At his father's funeral Parks was injured by a locomotive crashing into his carriage and killing the driver. He lost an arm in this accident, and it was buried with his two legs. Since that time he has paid weekly visits to the cemetery, wheeling himself on a chair carriage with one arm. Sunday he died, and his dismembered body was lowered into the grave, where parts of it were already at rest. DURRANT'S REMAINS. To be Cremated at Pasadena To-Day—Burial Refused in San Francisco. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 10. — Theodore Durrant's corpse is to be cremated in Los Angeles. This morning it will be taken to the undertaking rooms of H. C. Porter & Co., and prepared for shipment by the 4:30 p.m. southern overland. At a late hour this evening it had not been decided whether one or both of his parents would accompany the remains. Kregelo & Bresee, undertakers of Los Angeles, are the men who have come to the relief of the sorely distressed parents, who have been beeeching directors of two San Francisco crematories that they might carry out the wishes of their son and have the assurance that the dead would be unmolested. The word came first at 6 p.m. from Los Angeles by telephone. The firm guaranteed cremation. The message was duplicated to H. C. Porter, and he gave his personal endorsement of the integrity of the firm, as he had had frequent business dealings with it. But to make assurance doubly sure, several messages were telegraphed during the evening. Finally, at 9 o'clock, everything seemed settled, and a consultation was held between the Durrants and Porter, and final arrangement of the arm, through the shoulder and through the head. He also put several shots into Velarde, a Mexican who was assisting the sergeant; and is supposed to have killed another policeman, who is missing. Burroughs was a cowboy from Sierra Blanca. Last night he drifted from this city across to Paso del Norte to view the sights. He fell in with Ignacio Chavez, a Mexican gambler, and together they went to Hall's dance hall, where Burroughs met Lily Rhine, a woman from Eagle Pass, Tex., and with her left the saloon soon after. Chavez, who was paying attention to the woman, became furious with rage and followed the couple to the house. Burroughs warned him to leave, but the Mexican drew a revolver, threatening to kill the Texan. As Chavez raised the weapon Burroughs quickly drew his revolver and shot the Mexican through the heart. The sound of the shot brought the police to the scene and four of them sought to capture Burroughs. The Texan promptly drew his gun and a running fight began. Policeman Esqivel, who was nearest Burroughs when the firing began, fell dead with a bullet in his brain. Then he fired four times at the sergeant, putting one bullet through the latter's head, one through his shoulder and another through his arm and killed the policeman's horse. The Texan then turned his attention to Jaun Velarde, a citizen who was assisting the police. Velarde fell seriously wounded. Another policeman is missing and was probably killed in the fight. Burroughs had only eleven cartridges in his gun and belt and made ten of them count, while one bullet went wild. As he fired the last shot he clubbed his revolver to resist the onslaught of the police. Seeing that the Texan was out of ammunition the police closed in on him and shot him down, one bullet going through his leg and another through the body. The Santa Fe Route Is now selling six month round trip tickets around the Kite-shaped Track at the low rate of $4.10.

It is found at about thirty feet below the surface and under the muck and alluvial deposit. The ledge is about eighteen inches wide and makes a uniform width. It is generously sprinkled with free gold. One of the men brings down samples of the ore and every one who has seen them says the rock is precisely the same in character as found in the Comet mine at Berners Way, Southeastern Alaska. In no instance was the quartz discovery made by the men who owned the placer claims, and the locators of the quartz ledge thus acquire a separate and distinct title from the owners of the placer. The discovery of the ledge on No. 31 El Dorado was made by a man who was working the placer for the owner. A shot was put in and about fifty pounds of ore blasted out. The greatest excitement prevails and no man will listen to any suggestion to sell his claim until further development has been made. KELP GATHERERS. THE IRISH PEOPLE WHO DWELL ON THE ISLAND OF MYNISH. Rude Cabins Which a Rude and Untutored Folk Call Home—Their Vocation Not a Very Remunerative One, but They Are Strong and Healthy Men. Right on the western borders of land, and upon the numerous islands and peninsulas which are the common natural features of this broken part of the Irish coast, the kelp gatherers live. In a certain sense they seem to be an amphibious sort of folk and draw their rustenance, apparently always more or less scanty and precarious, from sea and land alike. Let us picture their existance for a moment, such as we may see it on the island of Mynish, not far from Roundstone bay, off the Galway coast. Imagine an island, about 12 miles in circumference, connected with the mainland by a kind of viaduct recently constructed by government, low lying and wind swept by the numerous gales of ocean, but crowded with a population of several hundred human beings. Every little cove or bay will have its cluster of cottages, with their fishing boats anchored close by, ready to run down the bay for mackerel or to fetch a load of kelp from the neighboring come to the relief of the sorely distressed parents, who have been beeeching directors of two San Francisco crematories that they might carry out the wishes of their son and have the assurance that the dead would be unmolested. The word came first at 6 p.m. from Los Angeles by telephone. The firm guaranteed cremation. The message was duplicated to H.C. Porter, and he gave his personal endorsement of the integrity of the firm, as he had had frequent business dealings with it. But to make assurance doubly sure, several messages were telegraphed during the evening. Finally, at 9 o'clock, everything seemed settled, and a consultation was held between the Durrants and Porter, and final arrangements made for the shipment of the body. And now came peace to this house, where was mourning never so bitter, and with it a service of song, which stayed the footsteps of the curious who were passing and repassing. But it was soon seen that there was a service for the dead within. It was conducted by the Salvationist feuds of the dead man—women whose habit it was to pay him weekly visits while he remained in Broadway jail. They were the ones for whom he always had words of appreciation. Mrs. Durrant wanted their prayers in song, because "Theodore loved it and would know and enjoy it all." And so they sang hymn after hymn to soft accompaniment. This all came after a day of work and complete despair. Early in the morning Mr. Durrant went to the manager of Cypress Lawn, and signally failed, as he had with the Odd Fellows' Crematory. The treatment was kinder, but none the less firm and final. There was genuine regret expressed that a way could not be seen clear to do for the Durrants what they most wished for on earth. That seemed to settle the matter of cremation, and the consultation with Porter followed. Quick lime, cement sepulcher, burglar-proof boxes, and in fact, every possible suggestion to prevent body snatching was discussed, but none met with favor. Burial at sea was again considered, and for a time it seemed as though the waves would bury Durrant far from the reach of man. The father then paid a visit to Archbishop Riordan, and, after consultation, it was decided to put the remains either in Calvary or Holy Cross receiving vault until Maude Durrant should return from Germany, some months hence, when a quiet interment could be had. But all this was set aside by the word from Los Angeles. Early in the afternoon a most remarkable message came from Red Bluff. A wealthy widow of that place telegraphed her indignation at the conduct of the crematory management of this city, and said: "Send the remains on to me at my expense, and I will bury them in my family plot." SAVED BY A HAT-PIN. How a Chicago Woman Frightened off Two Robbers—Then She Fainted. CHICAGO, Jan. 10.—Two men who last night tried to rob Conductor Warren Symington of a Blue Island avenue cable train were foiled by a woman passenger, Miss Sadie Williams. Besides Miss Williams there were three other passengers, another woman and two men, and the gripman. Neither the male passenger nor the gripman came to the help of the conductor, who having a desperate fight with the robbers. Just as the robbers were getting the best of the fight, Miss Williams is now selling six month round trip tickets around the Kite-shaped Track at the low rate of $4.10. On Tuesday of each week passengers can leave Anahim at 8 a.m. and make the entire trip around the "kite," and return the same day at 5:40 p.m. RECORD OF THE TEMPERATURE. Maximum. Minimum. Average.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 11.—Theodore Durrant's last request is to be complied with. His body is to be cremated. It will leave for Los Angeles to-night, and thence conveyed to Pasadena for final disposition. The corpse was removed from the Durrant home at daylight this morning and taken to the undertaking rooms of Porter & White, on Eddy street, and there placed in a metallic casket. Dr. Thrasher and another friend of the family guarded the remains all day. Mrs. Durrant is in great fear of body thieves and relic-hunters, and all precautions will be taken to prevent the stealing of the corpse. Mr. and Mrs. Durrant will accompany the body to the crematory, and will return to this city at the end of the week with the ashes. Porter & White have sealed the corpse and made it ready for the flames. They will have charge of it until it shall reach Los Angeles. Then the Los Angeles undertakers will convey it to Pasadena. The body will reach Los Angeles at 2 p.m. to-morrow, and be taken to the crematory on Thursday morning. AN EVENING WITH DICKENS. How the Great Author and His People Can Be Studied by Literary Clubs. "For an evening with Dickens,' advises Fannie Mack Lothrop, writing of 'Evenings For Literary Clubs' in The Ladies Home Journal," one of the items of the programme might be a sketch of his life condensed into about 200 words. The Dickens drawings by Charles Dana Gibson might be cut from The Journal and hung up before the audience and the story of each character and incident illustrated told. The trial from 'Pickwick' could be arranged for individual reading or for a number to take part in it. A bright paper may be written on 'The People of Dickens' World. In Dickens works there are 1,550 separate characters, enough to people a whole village. "Some of Dickens' poems have been set to music—notably 'The Ivy Green'—and would make a pleasant feature. Anecdotes of Dickens might be given by ten or a dozen members, each giving one These might be interspersed through the programme A member with any cleverness in photography might make a series of Dickens lantern slides from pictures in standard editions of the novelist's works and give a magic lantern entertainment The death of Paul Domey would make a pathetic reading from 'Domey and Son Mrs Jarley's waxworks as described in The Old Curiosity Shop could be given with some of the members grouped as characters in the famous show and designated as Little Nell did, with a pointer The surface of the island itself, which is strewn with huge granite stones and bowlders, is parceled out with the exact and scrutinizing jealousy, and if you attempt a short cut across country from one point-to another your way is blocked by a continual succession of loosely constructed stone walls serving as partitions between an innumerable series of diminutive plots. So intricate and puzzling is the arrangement of these plots that you are not at all surprised to hear that they are a source of litigation between the owners of the cottages, who are very fond of invoking law in spite of their poverty stricken condition. "Cottages" we call them for the sake of courtesy, but whereas the word "cottage" calls up in the English sense some bright and picturesque surroundings and some appearance of comfort these cottages or cabins of the kelp gatherers suggest every kind of discomfort The walls are built of undressed granite blocks picked up from the surface of the island and loosely put together according to the rules of a very primitive masonry But the roof is sometimes sod, and more often of reed The absurd contrast between the strength and stability of the walls and the feeble character of the roof strikes the eye immediately The floors are of very unsatisfactory character, as they are simply uneven pavements with muddy interstices and calculated to retain every kind of filth and abomination It would be almost impossible to sweep these floors clean even if there existed the will to do it. If there is any glass, it is simply morised into some little chink, and window frames are unknown—partly because wood is scarce and expensive and partly because the fisher folk do not desire a window that will open. As far as accommodation is concerned there are only two rooms on the ground floor—one to be used as a kitchen and sitting room, the other to sleep in, no matter the number of the family party Sometimes there is a kind of loft overhead on the kitchen, where some of the occupants can sleep Outside there is no pigsty or cowheshed or any other "office" which we are accustomed to connect with the ideas of comfort and decency In cold and rough weather the pig and even the cow are admitted to the hospitality of the hearth, and this accounts for their very friendly and sociable character As far as "rint" is concerned, the kelper cannot complain greatly, as it is a judicial "rint" and he cannot be ejected; no matter how he lives, as long as the rent is paid. Sometimes a kelper has a right to a common adjoining and can run a few black faced sheep and some of the black cattle of the country, and whenever he less scanty and precarious, from sea and land alike. Let us picture their existance for a moment, such as we may see it on the island of Mynish, not far from Roundstone bay, off the Galway coast Imagine an island, about 12 miles incirrnference, connected with mainland by a kind of viaduct recently constructed by government, low lying and wind swept by the numerous gales of ocean, but crowded with a population of several hundred human beings Every little cove or bay will have its cluster of cottages, with their fishing boats anchored close by, ready to run down the bay for mackerel or to fetch a load of kelp from the neighboring rocks when wind and weather permit The surface of the island itself, which is strewn with huge granite stones and bowlders, is parceled out with the exact and scrutinizing jealousy, and if you attempt a short cut across country from one point-to another your way is blocked by a continual succession of loosely constructed stone walls serving as partitions between an innumerable series of diminutive plots.

CHICAGO, Jan. 10.—Two men who last night tried to rob Conductor Warren Symington of a Blue Island avenue cable train were foiled by a woman passenger, Miss Sadie Williams. Besides Miss Williams there were three other passengers, another woman and two men, and the gripman. Neither the male passenger nor the gripman came to the help of the conductor, who was having a desperate fight with the robbers. Just as the robbers were getting the best of the fight, Miss Williams concluded to take a hand. Grabbing her hat-pin, she made a plunge with the pin on the robber nearest her. All of her strength was lent to the thrust, and the man screamed with pain. He released his hold on the conductor and turned on Miss Williams. She stuck him again, and he quit the fight. Miss Williams went for the next man, and she made a thrust for his eyes. The point of the pin struck his cheek. "Take her off," cried the robber. He turned to look for his companion, who by that time was on the platform making ready to jump. He was asked to come back, but he did not. Mean-time the young woman was striking for more vital parts than his face. She reached her pin for his stomach. His thick clothing saved his life. The conductor was then bleeding and in a half-dazed condition. When he came to his senses there were but two persons in the car, the other passengers, whose names could not be learned, having gone, and so had the robbers. When the excitement was over and the robbers had disappeared behind some buildings, Miss Williams replaced her hat and then asked the conductor if he was hurt. He was not. Then she fainted. She was soon revived, however, and escorted to her home. Miss Williams resides with her parents, and is employed as an amanuensis in one of the down-town offices. She is small of frame, but it is said that she has the courage of a soldier. SEEING THE ELEPHANT. A Texas Cowboy Makes Things Lively While His Ammunition Lasted. EL PASO, Tex., Jan. 9.—Seth Burrough, an American cowboy, shot five Mexicans in a gun fight in Paso del Norte at 2 o'clock this morning and was himself mortally wounded, dying in the police station a few hours later. The first man he killed was a Mexican gambler, who brought on the affray. Then he killed the first policeman to oppose him, shot the horse from under the sergeant of police and shot that officer through ten or a dozen members, each giving one. These might be interspersed through the programme. A member with any cleverness in photography might make a series of Dickens lantern slides from pictures in standard editions of the novelist's works and give a magic lantern entertainment. The death of Paul Dombey would make a pathetic reading from Dombey and Son Mrs. Jarley's waxworks as described in The Old Curiosity Shop could be given with some of the members grouped as characters in the famous show and designated as Little Nell did, with a pointer. VENICE and the HORSE. It is said that some of the Venetians—these who have never been to the mainland—have never seen a horse in all their lives. A shownman once brought one to a fair and called it a monster, and the factory hands paid a shilling each to see the marvel.—Chicago Inter Ocean. The nest which is made into soup and eaten by the Chinese is that of a bird closely allied to the swift. The nests are made of gelatinous secretion from the mouth of the bird. All lovers are alike, and that is why they correspond.—New Orleans Picavune. Some idea of the terrific force with which a bird passes through the air may be gained through the fact that a common curlew flew right through a piece of plate glass a quarter of an inch thick at Turnberry lighthouse, Ayrshire. The original of the phrase "on tick," meaning credit, was "on ticket," the idea being that articles bought and not paid for at the time had to be noted on a ticket. NEWS OF THE MOTHER LODE Returning Klondikers Tell of the Wonderful Finds of the Quartz Origin of the Placers. SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. 10.—The steamer City of Topeka, which arrived here this afternoon from Juneau, Alaska, had among her passengers nine men who left Dawson December 9th. They bring news of the discovery of what is supposed to be the mother lode and quartz origin of the placers of the Klondike district. The discovery was made within twenty-four hours at four different points, one of them at the Dome, a high mountain to the east of the source of El Dorado Creek by Frank Slavin, the second one at No. 31 head on the kitchen, where some of the occupants can sleep. Outside there is no pigsty or cowshed or any other "office" which we are accustomed to connect with the ideas of comfort and decency. In cold and rough weather the pig and even the cow are admitted to the hospitality of the hearth, and this accounts for their very friendly and sociable character. As far as "rint" is concerned, the kelper cannot complain greatly, as it is a judicial "rint" and he cannot be ejected, no matter how he lives, as long as the rent is paid. Sometimes a kelper has a right to a common adjoining and can run a few black faced sheep and some of the black cattle of the country, and whenever he is in a position to save money he prefers to put it in stock rather than to commit it to keeping of a savings bank. Here and there on the island you may chance across a little circle of stone in a retired nook. You need not puzzle long over it as if it were some archaeological find, for it is simply the foundation of a kelp stack that has been piled up inside it, and the calcined appearance of the stones, together with the ashes around them, will immediately reveal its use to you. Far away along the windings of some distant cove you will often see the smoke of these kelp fires rolling heavily out to sea, and the kelp stacks themselves are among the common objects of the seashore, with the long trailing kelp weed drooping down their sides. These have been won with much labor from the deep, and the yearly wage paid to the Mynish islanders by the kelp company is nearly £2,000. Kelp is indeed, main source of their wealth, and many a voyage has to be taken before a ton of kelp is procured. The weed burns down to a viscous, gelatinous mass under the action of the fire and then cools down to hard and rugged blocks. The kelpers live on fish, milk, tea, bread and eggs chiefly, but seldom on butchers' meat and bacon, for the pig is really the "jintleman that pays rint." Still, in spite of hardships, the kelpers are strong and healthy men. They would make splendid recruits for the navy, but if they leave their native rocks they find their way to the United States or our colonies — St. James Gazette. After the Elepement.

ENGLAND WANTED WAR. Held Back From Fighting France In 1893 by the German Emperor. The Gaulois, in Paris, recently related in considerable detail that during the Siamese imbroglio of 1893 England was on the verge of declaring war against France. The power that opposed the war most vigorously was Germany. In fact, said the Gaulois, the war was prevented by the German emperor. "At that time," said the Gaulois, "Emperor William was at Cowes with his yacht. He had won a regatta prize from Lord Dunraven's Valkyrie and the Prince of Wales' Britannia. He appeared, literally as well as figuratively, to swim in English waters. It was as he sat at dinner in the house of the Royal Yacht squadron that he received from Count Hatzfeldt the news that the English government intended to declare war against France. The emperor rose from the table, laid aside his napkin and sent a dispatch empowering his embassador in London to protest against Lord Rosebery's programme. Moreover, he be-took himself at once to Osborne House to announce his grandmother that he never could approve such a course as regards Siam." Sometimes Paris newspapers publish articles on European politics that lack all foundation in fact, and the amazing story told by the Gaulois might have been dismissed as one of them had it not been confirmed at once by the Koelnische Zeitung, probably the most trustworthy journal on the European continent. The Koelnische Zeitung's Paris correspondent was at Cowes with the emperor in 1893. As soon as the Gaulois had made its statement he corroborated it. Among the influential Englishmen at Cowes, he said, it was then common talk that the German emperor was England's ally against Siam and France. Lord Dufferin, then English embassador in Paris, had come to Cowes to conclude the negotiations for an alliance, but had been met with the emperor's blunt refusal to take the active part that England wished to assign him. The Koelnische Zeitung's correspondent asserts that the correctness of this statement is absolute and beyond question among the initiated who were at Cowes during the German emperor's sojourn there. Not Tall Enough. Just at the time when vague reports were beginning to creep abroad that Germany must meditate fresh extention. THESE THINGS AT WM. BOYD & SONS. For Christmas and New Year. ALBUMS.

Not Tall Enough. Just at the time when vague reports were beginning to creep abroad that Germany was meditating fresh extension of her frontier at the expense of Holland a Dutch official of high rank happened to be visiting the court of Berlin, and among other spectacles got up to amuse him a review was organized at Potsdam. "What does your excellency think of our soldiers?" asked Prince Bismarck as one of the regiments came marching past in admirable order. "They look as if they knew how to fight," replied the visitor gravely, "but they are not quite tall enough." The prince looked rather surprised, but made no answer, and several other regiments filed past in succession, but the Dutchman's verdict upon each was still the same, "Not tall enough." At length the grenadiers of the guard made their appearance—a magnificent body of veterans, big and stalwart enough to have satisfied even the giant loving father of Frederick the Great, but the inexorable critic merely said "Fine soldiers, but not tall enough." Then Prince Bismarck rejoined: "These grenadiers are the finest men in our whole army. May ask what your excellence is pleased to mean by saying that they are not tall enough?" The Dutchman looked him full in the face and replied, with significant emphasis, "I mean that we can flood our country 12 feet deep."—London Tit-Bits. Converted. Small Boy—What'll I do with this money box? Mamma—Put it away, of course. It has a shilling in it that your aunt gave you and some change your pa and I put in. "Not now.

Why, the clergyman preached so hard against hoarding up riches that I got converted and spent what I had. —London Fun.
