A GNAT AND CAMEL STORY

A GNAT AND CAMEL STORY
The SCOTSMAN furnishes the
following illustration Of the camel
and gnat religion of some of its
countrymen, but it is quite as COM
mon here and everywhere else as in
Scotland. A traveller says: "Sun-
day morning at the hotel in Dunn
barton, I had just got up and rung
the bell for some hot water for
shaving. A waiter answered my
call. L want some hot water, if
you please I said. and for what
do you want the water?' For
shaving I said. Ye Gamma have
hot water on the Lords day for sic
a thing as shaving said the waiter,
horror-struck at the idea. I insist
ed again, but with the same effect.
Ma, ma, said he, 'ye Gamma have
it. Necessity is the mother of in
vention It's said, and this aroused
mine. I thought that if I could
arrange this order in such a way
that it would not affect his religious
scruples, he would bring it direct
ly. I therefore proposed that I
should take some toddy, and told
him to bring me the material for
making it, consisting of whiskey,
sugar, and boiling water. These
he brought him without the least
demur. I gave him the whiskey,
which he drank, and I used the hot
water!"

that he pays the utmost attention to Diseases

Special Diploma from the Royal College of
Surgeons, England, signed by Drs. Robert Lee

fciency and thorough knowledge of Diseases

A New Canaan girl received a
pair of ten dollar kid shoes for
New Years present. But they
were an inch too short. A ball was
to be given, and she must keep her
engagement with her Long Ridge
beau. At the last moment her
genius triumphed. Running up
stairs, she seized her fathers razor
the one given him by George
Washington-and repaired to her
room. It was but the work of a
moment to cut off those ten toes
and hide them in her trunk. A
fake of cotton staunched the
wounds, and in less than five min
utes the belle of the town was
dressed and ready for the party.
Her lover said that she looked a
little pale, but her sparkling eye
and kitten-like movements Danish
ed all thought of it when she
skipped into the sleigh.

GATHERING GOLD.

Some eight months ago, says the
Rome Courier, Mr.. d. f. Hoff, of
this city, purchased at a bankrupt
sale at Indianapolis, two forty acre
lots of land in Cherokee county, Ga,
five miles west of Canton, for which
was paid $6,000-one $4,000 and
the other $1,000. Mr.. Hoff in this
purchase was the representative of
a number of persons who are now
working the mines under the title of
the Etowah mining company
Those persons are Mrs. Rebecca
Hof, T. w. Alexander, j. |.
Wright, w. 7. Robinson, and Thos.
G. Waters, all of Rome.
Seven months ago Mr.. d. E. Hoff,
with six years experience as Super
intendent of gold mines in California,
began the work of developing the
Etowah mines. Up to the present
he has employed but few hands
say from five to eleven. He has
sunk two shafts-one Sc feet and
the other p. Arrangements are be-
ing made to secure machinery for
crushing the ore which yields upon
an average Sll0 to the ton in the
first and $40 in the latter The ore
is known as soft brown quartz, and
is pronounced by Mr.. Hoff as good
as the best known in California
With the machinery, the company
proposes to purchase, about forty
tons of ore can be raised per day
making an average of 81 400 of the
shining metal daily.
The vein of ore is four feet and
seven inches wide and runs through
the full length OF the two lots of land
owned by the company. There is a
heavy lead of copper also, which as
says III per cent on top of the
ground.
