<r>r the Engineering and Mining Jour rial. One of the ore haulers one eve.

niag, after leaving the corral, entered the restaurant and I saw him hand a friend, "Slim," a specimen about three inches square and one half to one inch thick, that had half of one flat side streaked with gold, the meta! having been apparently deposited in a crevice and exposed when the rock was broken. With it he showed the broken extension which was considerably larger, the ends of the two fitting perfectly. About a week later he sold the larger portion for 515 to a Denver mining man. who placed it in his private collection at home. He gave me permission to examine it the following day, and I soon saw the joke. The rock was especially fitted for the work and had been skillfully painted with banana oil and picture-frame gilt. The mine owner producing the ore hauled was tipped oft that some nice sped mens were being found, and when he saw the one Slim had. he at once bought it for $5. and also several of the other ones in circulation, which now repose in his and other private collections. This is a case of where an owner’s own ore was salted and sold to himself. On “Finding Out." An osteopathic practitioner who turned on the gas in a room in his summer cottage on Long Island the other day, and went to join the innumerable caravan, left these words behind him: “I’ll soon find out.’ Whether he has found out or not, probably no one will ever find out. These personal researches into the unknown remain themselves unknown.

Has the problem of life, present or future, ever been solved by giving it up altogether? That is something which the ordinary intelligence very much doubts. If common sense helps us to any conclusion in the matter, it is that we learn rather more about what is in the cup that is offered us by draining it to the dregs than we do by putting it from our Ups. The eternal mystery is not to be solved by the aid of morphine, or the fumes of gas, or the impact of cold lead. There is one thing at least in the philosophy of the Hindus that we may profoundly respect, and that is the doctrine that the suicide has the long and weary road of life to traverse all over again. We Americans can understand that Idea, because we instinctively admire the good sport. And of all bad sports the suicide is the worst.

Play the game to the finish —and then will be the time to “find out" whether one has won or lost in the game, and whether the trophy is dust or deathless gold. Staple Scotch Retort. The scene was a Lancashire railway station, the actors a newspaper boy on the platform and two young Scotch soldiers en route for Liverpool. The soldiers were leaning out of the window conducting an animated football conversation with the paperboy. One gathered that the local club which enjoyed the support of the paperboy had recently defeated the Scotch club supported by the soldiers, and young Lancashire was “rubbing it in.” “Warrabout three goals to nowt?” he cried, derisively, backing away with a triumphant grin, and for the moment they were without a convenient reply. Finally one of the Scotch youths put his head farther through the window and used his lungs. “Hoo about Bannockburn?” “Whew!” Ten Dollars. Five dollars a “whew” Is said to be the fee charged by an attorney for defending a prisoner in police court recently. The attorney defended two thugs in an Indianapolis court, but in spite of his presence by the side of the prisoners, the court gave them a heavy fine and workhouse sentence. “Ten dollars,” said the attorney to the prisoners at the conclusion of the trial. “Ten dollars for what?" he was asked. “Why, for defending you,” he said. “I didn’t hear you say anything,” said one of the convicted men. “Didn’t you hear what I said to the judge when he convicted you’” “I did not. What did you say?” “W 7 -h-e-w, whew!” Pellagra and Stable Flies. It is now generally supposed that pellagra is carried by some biting Insect, and the buffalo gnat, among others, has been suspected. Investigations recently carried on in Spartanburg county, Carolina, by the United States bureau of entomology and the Thompson-MacFadden commission of the New York Post-Gradu-ate Medical school, practically exclude the possibility of transmission by the buffalo gnat, but tend strongly to show the possibility of transmission by the stable fly, already known to be the carrier of several other diseases.

ARE YOU A YOUNG MAN? A younq man some years ago was offered a position as janitor of a large office building. He was allowed to sleep on the premises and later on arranged with a restaurant next door to help the proprietor during odd times and thereby got his meals free. The young fellow was therefore able to save everything he made, except a small sum each year for his clothing, and he got a good deal of that given to him by tenants of the building. Every dollar he could possibly save he kept in his Savings Account.. At night he studied and in a short time had mastered a profitable trade. Today that man owns the office building a few years ago he worked as janitor in.. Such are the Possibilities always before the man who saves. The First National Bank welcomes the accounts of those who desire to get ahead in the world, in its National Savings Department every dollar earns you 3 per cent, interest and you have back of your money the protection afforded by the United States Government to National Bank depositors.
