A Curious Business. A curious yet profitable business in the exportation and reimportation of quicksilver has sprung up in California. Quicksilver for export is sold at $5 less per flask, of 76J pounds, than for home consumption, and shrewd dealers have not been slow to take advantage of this rebate of over six cents per pound. They have cheerfully paid the freight to Australia and back again, and haw cleared nearly five cents per pound oz the transaction. Russia Is Very Poor. Russia Is supposed to be the richest jountry in the world. Ite Emperor has An income of more than $i 0,000,000 a year, and the annual revenues of the government are almost half a billion dollars. In its natural resources there is no country which compares with it, md it could, if it developed these, be more independent of the outside world than China is to-day. The truth is, however, that Russia iB land poor. It has more oountry than it knows what to do with, and its finances are administered in such a shiftless way that it runs behind millions of dollars every year, and Its government debt constantly increases. It already owes more than $2,-.00,000,000, or more than 5,500,00,000 roubles, and its paper money Is worth par value of 76 cents.

Always the Same Answer. A witty Individual one morning wagered that he would ask the same question of fifty different persons and receive the same answer from eaoh. The wit went to the first one, then to another, until he had reached the number of fifty. And this Is how he won the bet. He whispered, half-audlbly, to each: “I say, have you heard that Smith has failed?” “What Smith?" queried the whole fifty, one after another, and it was decided that the bet had been fairly won.

Wonderful, Wonderful Salve... The boss liar now lives in Jersey ville, 111., and here is his latest effort, which he told to an admiring crowd the other day: “There was a man in Southern Illinois,” said he, “who invented a salve which he claimed was just the thing for cuts. If you cut your finger off, apply the salve and the finger would soon grow out to its normal length. One of the residents of the town was somewhat skeptical, so ho thought he would try it on his dog’s tail. He cut off tho tail and applied the salve, when almost spontaneously it commenced growing, and in a few minutes was as long as ever. In the meantime his little boy had picked up the end of the tail and put on some salve, and both the boy and the man were very much surprised to see a full-sized dog grow out from the end of the tail. The father and his boy are now dead."
