SRR EoSRrpr eA RIRIRRERTREE BC SHA EN ROUTE TO TRIESTE. Curious Scenery in AunstrinsSemi-Tropls | eal Vegetation of the Adriatie, St. Peter is scarcely more than twenty. five miles as the crow flies from the shore of | the Adriatic at Trieste. Bub as far as resets blance or suggestion is concerned it might be | at the antipodes. Imagination can scarcely conceive that a semi-tropical sea shore as | dreamy as that of the lotas eaters lies so near | to barren, wind swept hills, towering into peaks that are the abomination of desolation. But though the region ‘eo curious, with its | scooped out valleys and its summits as bald as the high Sierra, the district that you tra- | verse in going to Trieste is far more singular, The circular valley gives first its distinguish- ing characteristic to the scenery. I am not in the secrets of the geologists, but these valleys seem to be a repetition on a larger or smaller scale of the depressions in the limestone districts of the western states, called “sink holes.” A great part of the re gion is made up of them. Sometimes they have a diameter of 100 feet, sometimes of a mile. In one or two cases the formation Broadens out into a circular valley sev eral miles in dinmeter, containing several villages, They are generally, howover, of moderate dimensions, and their depth usually has a certain correspondence with the dimmeter, Tho sides are bargen nearly to the bottom ge which is usually surrounded by a circulafss wall, within which may be a patch of grass in summer, a vineyard or a little crop of somo cereal, The area inclosed may be a few square yards or s veral acres, but the aggre gate of fertility compared with tho gate of ‘barren and stony hillside indicat: contest with nature which would a) the stout heart of a farmer in north Hampshire, Sometimes the fo pression is slightly varied, and then ground which has received equally nigg adly treatment from nature, elsewhere amd not far distant so prodigal of her gifts The road descends at first imper- _eceptibly. Towns with Italian names become ore frequent. The aspect of nature gradu by brightens, There are vineyards of good size, prohards that begin to show the semi tropical vegetation of the Adratic. There are hillsides on which the work of afforesta tion is evident, There are others in the little farms are lakd out in long, vmrrow, paralielograms, like the stripes on our na tional But as one ff acros the barren tracts, strewn with small bowld ers, piled up with rocky masses, or pierced with points, edges, triangles and fantast forms of stone, interspersed here and there with oases of green pasture or easual tion, the idea of unkind, sullen, nature endeavoring to drive man from off its face ever presses painfully upon his spirit What a paradise this must have bx men of the stone age, with al for tools, weapons and domestic utensils so plen- tiful and cheap. Butmen who were not ges came bere and toiled and delved in the very dawn of antiquity, and later, when Rome absorbed Italy, when its galleys plowed the Adriatic and its cities and villages dotted its brown shores, its effervescent life bubbled up and frothed over this rim of hillson to this platean that I have endesvored to de scribe. — Austria Cor.

To the mine owner they are perfect sharks, and rob both him and the public. Their mode of procedure is as follows: A mine owner comes to them with a request that they place his property at a certain pri offering & {air remun eration for sorvi This the pro moter will not accept, but says that if the owner will perty as being of m These arc men who boom his - spresent his pre a greater value, he (the pro tinte a sale, giving the owner of Lis original valuation, and exces us a mine, whicl pay w the pr is w ser to sell. fai er; will neg amount he tha retaining would ice at which the owner $s to yield an ad return upon the inflated value due to the ma nipalats f the promoter, and miners and ining are brought into disrepute, and the public robbed for the benefit of the bre All} miiners are most anxious to get rid of this old man of the sea, who bas fixed him self wppon the mining trade, and 1 isto be hoped that the public will soon learn to treat these men with the neglect they deserve — Globe Democrat Interview, It ta ker onest Civil Courts en the Continent, I was very much interested in the mode of procedure in civil trials in courts on the con- tinent on the occasion of my visit to Europe In England a trial is conducted very much like it is in America—the attorneys examine, cross examine and reexamine witnesses at length, and the judge bas very little to say. On the Continent the witness is examined by the judge, who asks all the questions and the lawyers have nothing to say. Especially is this true in Germany, France and Austria. 1 was much interested ina trial that [ witnessed at Paris. There were three judges on the | bench, and one of them, as if endeavoring to | bring out a!l the facts, interrogated a witness | in a very searching mamner. It looked odd | to see the lawyers in the case sitting opposite the judges but saying nothing; I don't think | the average American lawyer could have stood it. At the conclusion of the evidence | the lawyers can address the court, and whom the verdict is returned can appeal to a higher court if they want to. Globe Democrat A Generous Collector. ] Thomas Collier, the New London poet, has a passion for collecting. His book of auto. graphs of poets and literary peopke from all | parts of the world fs very complete and be takes much pride in exhibiting it to callers, | At ove time he was interested in collecting ooins, He had a valuable series near com pletion when he learned that a friend had a similar series even nearer the full number than his own, and, further, that the coins missing froma bis friend's collection were all in bis own, Without hesitation he despoiled his series of the colus required to complete his friond’s, and sent them to him.
