worth more than £1,000, llo about in
u'ticoneldered heaps; where, In half -a"
dozen; whlteb;)t cauldrons, gallons of
glowing and tigti'id gold bubble end
hiss as they are stirred by white-'
bloused "aookp;" and where the very
air Is impregoetod with myriads of
grains of fine golddu8t, whiah is de,
posited on eeoers`and benches, in china-
nays, and on the cloteee of the work-
men to the value of thousands of
pounds a year.
And yet almost every capital in
Europe bas places'°in which all these
Wonders may be seen any day; al-
though thoueaufle daily pass the
portals which lead to them without
any euepicion of the wealth that lies
behind. •
London has several of these "Alad-
din's: caves," into three alone of which
gold and milvor of the value of at least
£20,000,000 are poured every year, and
leave, them in the form of brtaka and
bars of solid metal, each of which is
quite Meavy enough fur a man to run
away with, and repeesenta a small'
fortune, running Into four figures.
The gold and silver are taken to
these refineries in almost every
Imaginable form -bags of golddust,
the sweepings of jeweller's shcps, opine
of all eget:, and sizes and of every na-
tiouality under the sun, artioles of
jewellery doomed to the "melting.
pot," .and so on.
.Whatever the form of the precious
metas, their fate is all the same, They
are planed in crucibles, which in turn
are plunged into fiercely -burning fur-
nuoes, until the metals are reduced to
A MOLTEN, 'CONDITION.
When the pewees of cooking is com-
pleted the liquid metal i8 poured in
white or yellow streams, as the case
may be, into moulds, to emerge in the
form of bricks or bars of solid, if not
yet pure, silver or gold.
In London the gold bricks aro of an
almost uniform weight of 400oz., or
more than 331b. troy; while the silver
bricks and bars are of seven and a
half times this weight, or 2501b. avoir-
dupois.
This, however, le only the first step
in the proc083'towards converting the
metals into pure gold and silver; and
tat
this stage; there is little in the ap-
pearance of the dull, dingy blocks of
metal to suggest their value.
The next stage Is the delicate pro-
oeae of assaying, or testing the metals
to ascertain the proportions of gold,
eilv0r, and other metals they con-
tain,
The usual method is to take a chip
Loom tach brick and weigh it on a pair
of scales, so delicately adjusted that
they register a millionth part of an
ounce. The tiny piece of metal is
then piecedina hot furnace, In which
all base metals are eliminated, and a
tiny bright button is left, consisting
entirely of gold and silver. This but-
ton is again weighed, and the loss by
the abstraction of base metals as.
certained: 1t is then boiled in nitric
arid, which absorbs the silver and
!tares the pure gold in the form 02 a
powdery dust. Ey weighing again
the exact ratio of gold and elver in
the sample is ascertained. and the
assay is complete.
The metal is now ready for the last
atago of ale — that of refining. The e
bricks are melted in large crucibles, t

other metals, and the resultant DMZ-

IMPROVEMENT OF LA,NI? BTL'
DRAINAGE.
In both enelent and mo(le1n ave.

every age of the world, three funda-
mental principles have boon reel/ -

these'three foundation principles are

Argai'n we May have the eeed-bed and
heat essential to the prod'aaitiou of
a Inaxtenuna crap, bet because of too
much moisture our orop fails to
glow, or fails to mature. This is
often brought about by water ac-
ouJmutatirng on top lir within the soil
Where It remain for daya after it has
rained. ,
Where the growing orop is thus
submerged the damage is almost, if
not entirely, complete. Where it
stagnntea upon the hail it decomposes
or rots the roots and stems of planta;
wren where it does not remain on a
spot for a great length of time, the
temporary stagnation renders the
land unproductive.
,Seasons of tillage are often lost,
and In wet years the crop must al-
ways be scant and precarious. But
drain this land properly and instead
of growing the poorest crop it will
produoe the best, not only in quality
but also in quantity. Heavy rains
after planting on any undrained land,
may cense the seed to rot in the
0000011, or to germinate imperfectly.
Should the plant pass sueoesefully
this critical stage, heavy rains der
ing later growth may cause an un-
natural development or a feeble
ehitaraoter of the plant. (Later in the
season the want of sufficient rain
upon flue undrained land may cause
the crop to be destroyed by drouth,
far the wet soil, .being oompacted and
firm, does not permit the roots to
penetrate as deep as they would in a
dryer soil.
Fall end spring plowing 18 often

ture in the soil. Where the ground
Ls well drained crops can be put out
muok earlier, which brings in turn an
earlier crop, and this, es a generally
accepted principle, gets onto the
market when produce is highest.
The object of drainage Is to im-
prove the land by imparting to such
soils the mellowness and dark color
of self -drained and friable soil. Ex-
actly how et does 8o might be difficult
to explain in every partioular. It is
evident that the effect is produced by
the fibers of the roots of the growing
crop intersecting every particle of
the soli, which they never could do
before the land was drained. These
with their excretions decompose on
removal of the crop and are acted
upon by alternating air and water,
avhieh also decompose and change in
a degree the inorganic substances of
the soil. Thereby drained land,
which was before impervious to air
and water, and consequently un-
vailable to air and roots, or to vege-
able anatter and animal life, becomes
y drainage populated by both.
A single experim.ent. can be tried
y any on w1uicli, if falthiully cal-
led out, ought to convince him that
Elie best means of permanently deep-
ming and mellowing the soil is by
thorough drainage to afford a ready
sit far all surplus water. Let ham
spring, while wet, take a quantI-
y of his hardest soil, such as pre-
ents a baked and break -like char
°ter under the influence of drouth,
nd place it in a box or barrel open

be impossible for them lo reach with-

opens. Thin deeper root growth also

when the town was yet in its village
days, as one of the lumber company's

Smith was appoiuted town con-
stable, and filled that position until
very recently. As is well known 'to
many of lir. Smith's friends, he was
suffered much from kidney trouble
for quite a number of years past, and
lie times the pain in his book was so
great that be was almost physically
incapable of exertion. Be doctored a
great deal, sometimes getting tem-
porary relief, but the cause of the
trouble was not removed, and soon
the pains, accompanied alternately
by chills and fever, returned. At last

Drainage, therefore, improves the

Drainage then ;affords the condi-

a decreer root growth and gives a

posatble to secure greater benefits

she did not send her 'corner boys;

oat know how it came about, but I
happened to be in that crowd, and I
came, because, like the cat, I could

which alter eircn:mstances, to a cer-
