A Fine for Non-Volters,
The question of making some dispo
sition of the stay-at-homes on election
day is being very much discussed. By
some a fine of five dollars is advocated,
the fines to be paid into the district
poor funds. The enactment of such a
law would bring about an slmost com- |
plete expression of opinion on issues
that are now decided by but two-thirds
of the voters.

The Mann Axe works, at the nar

tled by the American Axe and Tool
Company, the present These
works were established by the Manns
in 1852, and were conducted most suc-
cessfully for more than a quarter of a
century, when they were sold to the
trust, After this sale they were run
only for a short time, and now the en-
tire plant is being removed. Much of

GOLD IN SOLUTION.
There Ave Hilllons of Tons Im the
Waters of the Oceans,
Do von know that the waters of our
globe Lol thousands of millions of tons
of gold in solution, and that If it were
possible to extract the precious metal
from the aqueous constituent of our
planet gol would be the commonest
of the metals? More than 100 years
ago the salt boilers on the coast of
Maine found slight traces of the
precious metal on the sides of their
evaporators, and later on Scottish
tradesmen in the same article reported
gold settlings in the water taken from
the mouth of the Dundee, In 1853 the
chemists Malaguti and Durocher ana-
lyzed waters from several different lo-
calities In the several oceans and seas,
the result being that they found a
slight trace of gold and silver in every
gpecimen tested. Finally, in 18505, they
made a grand summary of all their
findings, the figures presented with
that report being without doubt the
most wonderful exhibit that has ever
been given to the sclentific world.
It was there shown that the average
depth of all oceans is 2,600 fathoms,
and that the surface area is sufficient
to make a grand total of 400,000,000
cubic miles of water, or not less than
1,837,080,272,000,000,000 tons. Each ton
of that vast amount of surging liquid
holds, at a very low estimate, one-
thirteenth of a grain of gold, or a total
of not less than 10,2560,000,000 tons of
the precious metal, If this vast amount
of gold could be extracted and thrown
upon the market the best financier in
the world cannot imagine what the re-
sult would be,
A VERY FORMAL HONOR.
Palmerston Had Not Been Intro.
duced to Hugo or Dumas,
Alexandre Dumas, the elder, tells
this story in his diary: “One day Victor
Hugo and I were dining with the Duc
Decazes, and among the guests were
Lord and Lady Palmerston. Lord and
Lady Palmerston had come late. There
had been no time for an introduction
before dinner, and after dinner, while
we were taking tea, the formality had
been forgotten. Young Duc Decazes
came up to me. ‘My dear M. Dumas,’
he said, ‘Lord Palmerston has begged
me to ask you to leave an empty chair
between yourself and Vietor Hugo! 1
did so.
“Lord Palmerston got up, took his
wife by the hand and brought her over
to us. ‘Look at the clock, my lady,’ he
sald. ‘What o'clock Is it? asked Lord
Palmerston. “Thirty-five minutes past
10,’ replied my lady. ‘Then remember,’
sald her husband, ‘that this evening at
thirty-five minutes past 10 you were
seated between Victor Hugo and Alex-
andre Dumas and that such an honor
is not likely to happen to you twice in
a lifetime.’
“He then took his wife by the hand
and took her back to her place at the
other side of the room without another
word. You see, he had not been intro
duced either to Victor Hugo or me.”
The Valuable “MygPretty Jane.”
“My Pretty Jane” was one of the
most profitable songs to the publishers
ever written. Some years ago it
brought over £2000, yet all that Mr,
Fitzball, the writer of the words, and
Sir Henry Bishop, the composer of the
music, jointly received did not exceed
£40. Fitzball, to be sure, declared
that it took him just ten minutes to
write, and Bishop thought so little of
his own setting that he had thrown the
manuscript into the waste paper bas
ket, from which it' was fished out by
the manager of Vauxhall Gardens,
But, even so, the composer was surely
entitled to a proportionate reward with
the publisher, and it is not consoling to
recall the circumstance that Bishop
died almost a pauper~Chambers'

Minnesota,
Minnesota has been designated the
North Star State, of which two or
three explanations have been given,
one on account of its geographical posi-
tion, another that the north star ap-
pears in its coat of arms. It has also
been called the Lake Btate from the
great number of small lakes within its
limits and the Gopher State because
the early settlers found golphers there
in such abundance that they proved a
serious nuisance. Even a careful rider
passing over a plain where gophers
abounded was in danger of being
thrown by his horse accidentally step-
ping in a gopher hole.
His Eloquence,
The curate of a country parish lately
preached a charity sermon, and the
collection which followed amounted to
£20 7s. 4d. In the vestry after the
service the church wardens counted It
out and mentioned the result. “Well”
sald the reverend preacher, “I must
have preached pretty well to get all
that,” “No doubt you did, sir.” replied
one of the church wardens who had
been collecting, “but the squire put in
a £20 note, and he's deaf.” London

THE CAMPHOR LAUREL. |

the Drug in Extracted From |
the Wood of the Tree, {
The camphor laurel, from which the |
greater part of the camphor of com-
merce is produced, is a native of
China, Japan, Formosa and Cochin-
China. It is a hardy, long lived tree
and sometimes grows to a great size.
It has evergreen leaves, yellowish
white flowers In panicles and is «
very ornamental tree, the trunk run-
ning up to a height of twenty or
thirty feet before branching. The
fruit is very much like a black cur-
rant,
In the extraction of camphor the
wood is first cut into small chips, and
the chips are put into water in a still
and steamed. The head of the still is
filled with straw, and as the steam
carries off the camphor in vapor It
is deposited in little grains around the
straw,

The Size of Bolivia.
The area of Bolivia is not accurate
ly known, yet it is probable that its
present area Is not far from 600,000
square miles, which is the equivalent
of the area of Germany, France and
Spain combined. From the lowlands
on the east and southeast the land
rises, sometimes by easy slope and
sometimes by abrupt uplift to the
snoweapped peak of Sordta, with its
altitude of near 25,000 feet and to the
pyramid of Illimani, which Is given as
21.300 feet in height. La Paz lies at
an elevation of 11,000 feet above sea
level and Potosi at nearly 14,000 feet.
A few miles west of La Paz lies the
inland sea of Titicaca, at an elevation
of 13,000 feet.
