Persons possessing $1,000 who like the indolent life of the tropics where winter Is unknown can spend the remainder of their lives in the Marquesas islands in the Pacific ocean, where they need only work two hours a day to catch fish and pick bnnanas and spend the remainder of the day watching the skyblue sea wash lnxilj ever the golden sands. The money would be required to pay i second-class passnge from one of the Pacific coast ports, with outfit, and the oalance to purchase fertile lund at $2 an acre. The Marquesas are situated In 8 to 11 south Intitude and 140 west longitude and are of volcanic origin and mountainous. Tliey are under the French republic and the commissioner lives at Taiohal, the chief town, which is on the island of Nukawa. There were 4,300 inhabitants in the Islands when the census was taken in 1900, but the natives, who are Christians, have dwindled away since then. There are 8,800 square miles in the thirteen islands, which compose the Marquesas group. The chief products are tropical fruit, copra and mother of pearl. The landing is difficult, as the shore goes up like a wall from the sea. Passengers arriving from the -Pacific say that the< climate of the Marquesas la Ideal and that life there Is one long day dream, with no disturbing element beyond tbe silver-tongued notes of the bulbul at sunset from Its lofty perch on the ancient baobabs by the seashore.?New York Times. RELIC OF MEDIEVAL TIMES Sacred City of Mongolia Haa But a Thin Veneer 6f the Civllisa* tion of Todpy. Urga, sacred city of the Living Bnddha, lying far to the north of Mongolia, is a relic of medieval times overlaid with a veneer of twentieth century civilization, and Is a city of violent contrasts and glaring anachronisms. It was used as a base of sup plies by Hoy Chapman Andrews, leader of the second Asiatic soologlcal expedition of the American Museum of Natural History. Motor cars pass camel caravans fresh from the Gobi desert; holy tames in bright robes walk side by stde with black-gowned priests and swarthy Mongol women In the fantastic headdrees of their race stare wonderlngly gt the latest fashions of their Russian sisters, relates a correspondent of the Detroit News.

Then there Is a large class that can do many things Indifferently. Those who can curry big londs and carry them well are few. To be In this select class appeals to most folks, but only the few really deserve place In it. And they do not land there ' without effort. Such honors are mat- j ters of growth. Time and toll nre the i price puld for the advance. Beginning j with what comes easy the worthy ones ( become experts and then add to their sphere of achieving such things as naturally fall in line with their endeavors. Then they grow without being really conscious of added strength. That comes as a glad surprise when | some one calls attention to It Asparagus Has a Pedigree. Asparngus was cultivated in Rome 200 years B. C., and Pliny, in hla "History Naturalls," mentions that near Ravenna there grew a kind of which three heads weighed a pound. Asparagus flourished also In Greece. It Is a native of several places near the sea In Britain. At Kynance cove. In Cornwall, a rocky Island Is called "Asparagus island," because at one time the plant was cultivated there in on cient days all sprouts of young vegetables were rolled asparagus; and it comparatively modern times the artichoke, cardoon, seakale and allsnnder were included. Nowadays only the ne Is so oalled. Most probably all are wild sro-coast plants, and cultivated asparagus of an unpalatable order may still be found on British shores. o By the time the average man is financially able to gratify iiis appetite he hasn't any.
