SOME ODD SAYINGS.
4"It's`. a shame when she is so well
dressed that she lets everyone know
she'n from the country."
Clara—What did she do?
'4Thanked the gentleman for giving
her his seat."
"Why is it that when woman loses
husband she becomes so attractive
to men?"
"It is the old,old story of the widow's
might."
"Heaven can't be a place of rest and
peace," remarked Mr. Henpeck, putting
down the paper he was reading.
"What makes you think heaven will
not be a place of rest and peace ?" asked
Mrs. Henpeck snappishly.
"Becauso Dr. Talmage says there

THE PIANO CURE FU11 WARTS.
• Two doctors were recently walking
togetherdown a suburban thoroughfare,
when ono of them lifted his hat to a
lady whom they met.
"A patient ?" asked the other.
"Oh, in a way," answered the first
doctor. "I treated her the other day
for a small trouble."
"What was it?"
"A wart on the nose."
"And what did you prescribe ?"
"I ordered her to refrain absolutely
from playing the piano."
The other doctor was astonished.
"Ordered her to leave off playing the
piano—for a wart on the nose.
Well, I can't understand your treat-
ment."
"If you knew the circumstances you
d," said the first doctor,
he lives in the next house to me.'
TEI,,LING A PERSON'S AGE.
There was once a wise king who was
awfully curious. He was possessed of
a desire to know everything, and was
continually asking questions. Indeed,
his thirst for knowledge carried him so
far that he wanted to know the age of
every person he met. But, being a
'king, he was exceedingly polite, and
' would resort to strategy to gain his
ends.
One day there came to the court a
gray-haired professor, who amused the
king greatly. He told the monarch a
number of things that he never knew
before. and the king was delighted.
But finally it came to the point when
the ruler wanted to knowthe age of the
professor, so he thought of a mathema-
tical problem.
"Ahern l" said the king. "I have an
interesting sum dor you; it is a trial in
rf mental arithemetic. Think of the
" number of the month of your birth.'
Now, the professor was 60 years old,
and had been born two days before
Christmas, so he thought of 12, Decem-
ber being thetwelfth month.
"Yes," said the professor.
"Multiply it by 2," continued the
king.
"Yes."
"Add 5."
-*(Yes," answered the professor, doing
so.
"Now, multiply that by 50."
"Yes."
"Add your age."
4 eras."
"Substract 365."
"Yes."
"Add 115."
."Yes."
"And now," said the king, "might I
ask what the result is ?"
"Twelve hundred and sixty," replied
the professor, wonderingly.
"Thank you," was the king's response.
"So you were born in December, sixty
years ago, eh ?"
"Whey, how, in the world do you
know ?" cried the professor.
"Why," retorted the king, "from
your answer -1260. The month of your
birth was the twefth and the last tv.&
figures give your age."
"Ha, ha, ha !" laughed the professor,
�
ts7tipital idea. •.I'll try it on the next
person I meet. Its such a polite way
of finding out people's ages.'

Every time I go through the Mining

is not more popular. It is indeed the
most modest, or nearly so, of all the
large buildiugs, and neither within nor
without are there many of those"striking
beauties in art or other lines of display
which charm the eve iu the Fine Arts,

in the deep things of earth, or if the has

especially the displays in gold and silver

and I was mean enough to take notice
that of the silver men here on their con-
vention day very few visited this build-

told there are no such maps in the world,
and that aninquiry for theta would raise
a smile among meu of science, and yet I
am sure the world now has, knowledge
enough to construct them.
On all the western slope the climate is
mild enough for successful work. The
formation must in the nature of things
be in general the same as that from
British Columbia to Mexico, and, if the
same. why does it not contain the same
proportion of gold bearing reefs ? Brit-
ish Columbia insists that it does. She
shows here that she has made a begin-
ning, and she stakes her reputation and
her future on the prophecy that she will
soon delight and astonish the world with
her gold yield.
Next is the so -palled "Backbone of

broadest part of the continent, between
the Great desert and the central south.
We have here a little free gold from
Liberia and Sierra Leone and some nug-

them is a stretch of over 2000 miles of

gold deposits. We know that the old
ideas of that region were all wrong.
It is, in fact, an elevated and very health-
ful region, no hotter than California
after one reaches the interior. The diffi-
culty is in getting to it across the °hot
lowlands on the west or the hot desert
plateaus on the east, but if there is much
gold there—and by all the deduction, of
experience there is—white men will get
there and maintain themselves.
A CRACK IN CREATION.
South Africa has a splendid exhibit,
but the diamonds are the only part of it
which attract the crowd, and the Zulus
on guard interest the people as much as
the diamonds. The Zulus are ' indeed a
magniflcient race. The only wild
people I can compare them to are the
Navajo Indians, who, to my mind, come
nearest to fitting the romantic ideal of
noble red men. The Orange Free State
has a fine pavilion, and there are min-
eral exhibit from all the sections of that
continent which the Dutch and English
have occupied, but none of those in
charge can give me any clear description
of the geology, or what we in Utah aid
Colorado used to call the "country
rook," meaning the formation is a limit-
ed district as distinguished from the
general geology.
"The Kimberley diamond mine," says
one of the men in charge of the exhibits,
"is not a 1<eef at all. It is a big crack in
the floor of creation. The bedrook, and

New South Wales has a very large ex-
hibit and, what is more to my purpose,
has well informed men in charge and a
valuable little compendium of all the
official and local reports down to the
close of 1892, and on opening this the
first itent my ey tofell upon 'vas astonish-
ing—tonne, at any rate. The Hon. T.
M, lMttery, member of parliament and
minister for mines, begins by expressing
his regrets that, owing to the long strike
at Broken Hill and the depression in
silver, etc., the output is disappointing,
and the product for the' year " has
amounted to only X98,842,779 ls. 5d.,"
or $479,000,000 ! And this is the Botany
Bay settlement which in my gocgraphy
slays we were taught to consider as . In-
habited chiefly by criminals transported
from Great Britain and Ireland."
VALUE OF GOLD ORE.
The gold yield has been increasing
rapidly for five years, owing chiefly to
improved processes for extracting it
from the ores, and yet the yield does
not quite average one ounce to the ton.
Indeed it was for 1892 but .99 of an
ounce. One of the curiosities of mining,
and a factwhich deceives more people
not familiar with it than any other, is
the total lack of any correspondence
between mechanical and commercial
values.
Thus if a mine contains ore yielding
half an ounce of gold per ton, facilities
for working being good, it inay be a very
valuable mine, but if the yield is but a
quarter of an ounce it is worthless.
Now, the half ounce is but the 1-64,000th
part of the ore raised and the quarter
ounce but the 1.128,600thh part. So a
variation of one atom in euclh 128,000
atoms of the mineral constituteuts of the
ore body is all the difference between a
mine which makes ell the owners rich
and one whiclt is too poor to work. In
silver the difference is less, but still so
great that a fall of 10 cents per ounce
will make hundreds of mines worthless.
Thus we see how a decline in silver may
work its own cure, but its "mighty
tough" on the fellows with have to pay
for the medicine.
It appears that -each gold miner raised
17.33 ounces, worth £02 18s., and so the
wages are nothing to boast of, but they
were idle a large part of the year. Of
all classes of miners, 1 to 963 was 'killed
during the year. I have given New
South Wales unusual attention because
her men here know what they are talk-
ing about, and because the official report
is a model in its way, and the system
pursued is truly scientific. The method
of supervision by the government is such
that it might almost be said the govern-
ment owns and runs the mines, and, take
it all in all, I am very much pleased with
Botany Bay as it is.
HOW MONEY GROWS.
Some Illustrations of Interest Growing
at a Cumpouud Irate.
At the birth of his son a father placed
at interest at Ir •ent. the sum of $1000,
and each year invested alt the interest
at the same rate. • When the boy was 21
-years old the found himself the possessor
of $3399.56. Being a .young man of
pluck and energy and anxious to try' his
hand in unaided competition, he told his
father to keep the money and he would
take his chances with the poor boys of
his acquaintance. When the son was 50
years old the father notified him that his
fortune had grown to over $18,420, using
round numbers. At 70 the father called
his son's attention to his fortune of over
$59,000, and since the son had received
the rewards of his industry he did not
still take possession of the fortune. The
father soon after died, and in his will
required his executors to keep the prin-
cipal and interest loaned until the son
should receiyeitor be removed by death.
The latter lived to a good age, -and oa
his son's 100th birthday, besides the ac-
cumulations of a busy and prosperous
life, was incumbered with his 'fortune of
$349,300.
Christopher Columbus is said to have
some poor relations living in Spain at
this time. One or two of thein have in-
timated that if the liberal American
people would take up a collection for
thein the same would be received as a
fitting expression of our gratitude to
their great ancester. But, if we con-
shder,there would have been nothing im-
possible in it, and it would have beeu
really considerate in Christopher to have
saved a dollar—only one dollar—of the
amount given him. A modern financial
manager would have perhaps suggested
that to this end the sometimes obstreper-
ous and mutiuous sailors be reduced at
Half rations for a sufficient time to en-
able the great discoverer to save a dollar
and place it at compound interest at the
very reasonable rate of six per cent. By
this time, four hundred years after, that
dollar would have increased and multi-
plied to the munificent sum of $1,322,-
000,000, a sum sufficient to pay at
least some of the gambling debts of his
poor relations of this present time.—
Kansas Farmer.
A Strange Bosnian Superstition.
At Brazacka, in Bosnia, an old super.,
stition has corne to live again which re-
sembles the fables of Jewish ritual mur-
ders. In Bosnia the people have believ-
ed at all times that a bridge could not ne
firm and lasting unless a human being
was walled up in it, Tlhua there is a
legend connected with the hansdome
Roman bridge at Mostar, which says
that the fine arch across the Narenta
-could not be finished until the architect
walled up in it n bridal pair. Now that
a solid bridge is being built across the
Savo at Brazcka this superstition is reviv-
ed. It is rumored everywhere that
gypsies are stealing children to sell thein
to the contractors, who wall ono up in
each pillar. A few days ago there was
a reguliar pursuit of some unlucky
gypsies, of whom it had been said that
thew were raiding for ohildren.—London
Daily News.
A Most Ingenious System.
A most ingenious system is employed
.by which the director of the Suez Canal
can tell at a glance the exact position of
all vessels passing through it. A model
is placed in the office at Port Said, and
the whole canal is worked from head-
quarters by meann of telegraph, the
position of each ship being marked by a
figure on the model. It is, therefore,
Deasy to arrange for vessels passing each
'other.
