How Saints are Made---In Effigy.

A lady correspondent Of the San
Francisco Chronicle, writing from Bar
LIE Due, In France, describes some
work done at the statue factory of NJ
Champigneulles in that place. She says:
"To the right of the entrance stood
the half-complete statues at whose feet
are young men and boys running knives
into their sides, picking at their eyes
and performing all the tortures which
are recorded as having been stuff ered by
the original saints. They had none of
them as yet donned their white robes
or pale faces, and suggested a gallery of
so many posed Moors with their grace
full forms and dark skin. There stood
in perfect finish the figure of some leg
end saint whose beautiful expression
and graceful folds of his robes remind
ed one of pictures of ancient Romans.
Next to him was Saint Joseph, with
out arms or feet, while near by sat the
artist curling the hair of the little Jesus,
who also lacked arms, which we soon
discerned at the foot of the pedestal
holding the customary ball. The pro-
cess Of smoothing out folds, separating
toes, combing eyebrows, Strengthening

much interest. Various instruments
were used, a large flat knife, smaller
ones of the same shape, chisels, and
even delicate paint brushes, which were
first dipped in basin of water and
their drops deposited on the clay to
smooth still more the dark, shining
surface After the ST. Joseph was ar
ranged and dressed with sufficient pre-
ciseness to satisfy the artist, the little
Jesus passed through the same process,
after which stump projecting from
the right shoulder was inserted in a
deep and dark-looklng cavity in the left
breast of the saint. By this means the
smaller statue became fixture Of the
larger body, after which the artist ap-
piled quantity Of the fresh dark clay,
and with an adroit hand and deft instru-
ments succeeded in completely covering
the connecting line. Then were the
small arms clasping the ball added,
their heightened ends passing into the
sockets left in the shoulders of the
small statue. Next the feet were adj
justed, and the line of their union with
the body dissembled as in the preced- |
ing operations. Many smoothing
hourlshes of the knife were required as
well as piercings of the chisel before
the required harmony was obtained,
their workings being guided entirely by
the artists eye."

FRENCH statistics show that woman is
six times less criminal against person,
four times less criminal against proper
ty, and twice less hardened criminal
than man. The record (recently pub.
lished) also proves that maternity is .
better shield against bad life than
paternity. Of 1000 female criminals
261 are mothers, and of 1000 male
criminals 324 are fathers.

Accidental Gold Strikes.

Two-thirds of the rich "strikes" in
California, says an old miner, were
purely accidental A man in Column
bia, out Of luck for years, strolled out
of town one day in state Of utter de-
spair. Seating himself under the shade
of a tree, he began poking, in an aim
less way, at black bowlder before
him. Its weight attra cted his attention.
1t proved to be lump of gold worth
ten thousand dollars.
Another man was travelling one hot
summers day on the trail leading from
Mariposa to Tuolumne county. He
sat down on a white rock to eat his
dinner, and after having eaten, and
while smoking the postprandial pipe
and wondering how many more years
must elapse before he could make a
pile which should guarantee him an
honorable reception by his Eastern rel
atives, his experienced eye was attract
ed by the dull yellow color of gold in
the rock about him. He was sitting on
leads in the country.
The history of Indian Bar on the
Tuolumme is another illustration. In
dian Bar was supposed to be worked
out. All save half dozen miners left.
Pat Gibbons and his gang remained.
These four men were content to work
for grub and whisky money. They
gathered up the gleanings. One day
Sam Jones commenced picking at
thin streak of gravel left by the Point
Company in bank thirty feet above
the river. A painful yielded three
cents. He dug in little further. 1t
pagged out ten cents. That was better.
The gravel streak increased in thick
ness, and the bed rock pitched away
from the river and into the mountain.
Pat Gibbons and his crew Immediately
took up their claims for several hun
dred feet. They had now So and 81
per day diggings. This was wealth
drunken wealth. They worked as little
and drank as much as possible. Two
days labor by the gang would furnish
the means for weeks dissipation.
Meantime, John Sanborn, prudent
man from Massachusetts,, biding pa
tiently his time, approached one mem
Der after another Of this reckless gang
and bought their claims for sums rang
ing from 81, 900 TO $500. When he had
secured nearly the whole frontage, he
went to work Systematically, and the re-
suit was sometimes a yield of forty
ounces per day. In two years time he
took out near 100000. Pat Gibbons
crew could not bear prosperity. Pat.
killed his wife. Jones survived it all,
and is probably to-day shaking his rock
er in some forgotten gulch, making
seventy-five cents or dollar day.
