A Valuable Discovery.

Some five or six years ago young
man was traversing the mountains, can
ons and valleys of Esmeralda county,
New. prospecting for gold ana silver. As
he looked down on the valley of Teel's
marsh he saw vast bed of white sand
or something like it, and was temp ed
to descend and examine it. He found
the place to be dry lagoon, five miles
in length, and about half as wide; and
what he had taken for sand proved to be
a soft clay like deposit, in which he
sank ankle deep as he cautiously walked
over it. Filling his pockets with the
curious stuff, he mounted his horse
again, and rode to his home in Colum-
bus. There an assayer pronounced the
contents of his pockets the finest sam
pies of crude borax he had ever Sc, n.
1 he astonished prospector-one of the
large family of Smiths lost no time in
making formal claim to this find; and
that obtained, he and his brother went
to work with tanks, boilers, crystal.
iZers and all necessary appliances, and
are at the present writing, as the mas
tiers of an immense establishment, driv'
ing very profitable trade, one likely tC
be as permanent as possible, since the de-
rosit OF borax in Teel's marsh repro
| duces itself every two or three years.

One Hundred and Eighteen Years Old.

A Washington correspondent writes:
Washington now claims, besides other
things, to have the Oldest man in
America as one of its residents. The
Oldest man is n colored man, Shadrach
Nugent by name, a Mary lander by birth,
but for over sixty years resident of
Washington. He claims to have been
born about 1862, and that he is now over
ll8 years old. Many of them in this
times servants of George Washington.
Nugent makes no such claim, though he
says he often saw George Washington,
and that he has shaken hands with every
President that this country has had from
Washington down. Whether he is ll8
years old or not is not known to any
thing like certainty. but he has docu-
ments from many of the Oldest and best
known citizens certifying that they had
known him from forty to sixty years.
The gentleman who says he has known
Nugent Tor sixty years says he was at
least forty years of age when he came to
this city, and that he may have been
much older. This gentleman's s letter was
written several years ago, which makes
the proof tOlerably clear that he is over
100 years. He drove cart for the father
of the Hon. w. w. Corcoran, our phil
anthropist and banker, when Mr.. Cor
curan, the father, was but a young man.
This is important in view of the fact
that w. W. Corcoran recently cele-
brated his eighty-second birthday. He
has records of his birth and other papers
referring to the same incidentally, which
have been copied from the court records
at Frederick, Md showing undoubtedly
that he is nearly that age. He" tit into"
the revolutionary war as body servant
of Lieutenant Croft, who commanded an
independent artillery company which
was organized about Frederick. In 1912
he saw the public buildings in this city
burned by the British, though he, Ike
many others, viewed the burning from
a point in tne adjoining woods, several
miles distant. He is yet able to walk
about the city, using cane. Although
he has lost the sight of his left eye, he
can still read his Bible, which is his
] strongest hold. His health, as rule, il
/ good and always has been. His teeth
are as sound as they ever were, while
his hair is now as straight as whit,
mans and snow white. but very thin.

next day, he had taken the liberty of
sending her the water-color, although
with the conviction that it was Just a
trifle improper. but he couldn't help it.
For a couple of days his suspense was
agonizing, and when the picture came
back accompanied by the freezing letter
he was almost broken-hearted. From
that time he had loved her!
Conveniently removed from Paris, in
a suburban district, is now charming
villa, where Jerome Hart, justly called
the greatest water-color artist in the
world, and his wife live the happiest of

ing..room of the house hangs picture
of the old mill, but not the one from the
royal academy: tits smaller one, and
Marie Hart thinks she likes it better.

A Puzzled Minister.

An old gentleman from the East, of
clerical aspect, took the stage from
Denver South in ante. railroad days.
The journey was not altogether a safe
one, and he was not treasured by the
sight of number of rifles deposited in
the coach, and nervously asked for what
they were.

Kisses.


Little child, when twilight shadows
Close the western gates OF gold,
Then those loving arms of mothers
Tenderly about thee fold.
Over lip, and cheek, and forehead,
Like shower caresses fall;
For mothers kiss at twilight
Is the sweetest kiss Of all.
Pretty maiden at the gateway,
Shy, sweet face and downcast eyes,
Two white, trembling hands imprisoned,
How the golden moment flies!
Lips that softly press thy forehead,
All the rosy bushes CALI
For lovers kiss at twilight
Is the fondest kiss OF all.
Happy wife, thy noble husband,
More than half lover yet
For those sunny hours OF wooiDg
Are too sweet to soon forget
On thy smiling lips uplifted,
Full OF love his kisses fall,
For husbands kiss at parting
Is the dearest kiss of all.
Weary mother, little children
With their dimpled hands so fair,
Passing over cheek and forehead,
Soothe away all pain and care.
Lead your doubling heart to heaven,
Where no dreary shadows iall,
For the kiss of sinless childhood
Is the purest kiss of all.

The Sitting Of Peter,
A FoLK-soNG.

A FoLK-soNG.
" Behold, Satan hath desired to have Won
at he may sift you as wheat. st. LUX
xii. 81.
In st. Luke's Gospel we are told
How Peter in the days of old
Was siited;
And now, though ages intervene,
Sin is the same, while time and scene
Are shifted.
Satan desires us, great and small,
AS wheat, TO sift us, and we all
Are tempted;
Not one, however rich or great,
Is by his station or estate
Exempted.
No house SO safely guarded is
But he, by some device OF his,
Can enter;
No heart hath armor so complete
But he can pierce with arrows fleet
Its center.
For all at last the cock will crow
Who hear the warning voice, but go
Unheediug;
Till thrice md more they have denied
The Man OF Sorrows, crucifled
And bleeding.
One look of that pale, suffering face
Will make us feel the deep disgrace
OF weakness;
We shall be sifted Til the strength
OF self-conceit be changed Mt length
To meekness.
Wounds OF the soul, though healed,
will ache,
The reddcning scars remain, and make
Confessions;
Lost innocence returns no mole;
We are not what we were before
Tranggression.
But noble souls, through dust and heat,
Eise from disaster and defeat
The stronger,
And conscience still OF the divine
Within them, lie on earth supine
No longer.

TIMELY TOPICS.

H. M. Stanley brought home from
Africa the skulls of two animals called
"sokos," which had been eaten by an
affable chief with whom he hobnobbed
one day, and Prof. Huxley at once
pronounced them to be human. But
Central America has now come forward
with the susmetu, and so far as SUBJ
scriptions 70 at present this animal
would appear to come as near ourselves
as the soko, for the other natives of its
forests whom we call men and women
call the susmetu human.

When Washington was on his way to
Red Bank just 100 years ago he slept one
night at Chew's Landing, a village
which is also in New Jersey. Next
morning he was surprised to find that
half the inhabitants had formed them
selves into delegation to ask of him a
contribution toward new Episcopal
church. He not only gave the contri-
button but signed the church book, and
so did Carroll of Carrollton. The book
has been religiously preserved in the
vestry, and every governor of New Jer-
sey has for many years given something
to keep the building in order. Now,
however, it is to be torn down and q
commonplace brick church erected.

The German minister at Washington
has recently inquired, on behalf of his
government, for exact information as to
the process by which the signal service
bureau so promptly collects at the w'r

Some remarkable statements were
made by a prominent physician before
the class of the college of physicians
and surgeons at Buffalo the other day.
He announced that one-ffth of all man.

third of all from the ravages of tuber-
cles upon the bodily organs, including
the lungs. Comparing this mortality
with that from yellow fever during the
require $50 years of such epidemics of
yellow fever to equal the devastation
wrought by consumption in single
generation in this country alone, and
$50 years of such work to equal the NOR
tality caus ed by tubercles in one genera

ments are appalling, but they are made
by a man who has devoted the study of
Il lifetime to the subject.

DIR. Willard Parker, an eminent physi-
clan and surgeon of New York, regards
our system of caring for the insane as
radically wrong. The institutions are
too large. Too much care and responsi-
bility are placed upon one man. 1t is a
physical impossi bility for him to con-
suit the peculiarities of each of several
hundred patients whose cases differ
entirely from one another. Each case
should be distinctly studied. He has,
besides, to superintend and manage the
institution and the grounds, to be
firmer, treasurer, etc. "As well ex-
pect the captain Of ole of our large
steamers to act also as stoker and cook. I"
The buildings are too magnificent.
They should be inexpensive, so that
when the wards become saturated with
disease they may be destroyed and
others erected. Some occupation should
be provided adapted to the patients
conditions. DIR. Parker maintains that
insanity is not diminishing in this
country, as under proper treatment it
ought to be.

Minnie Karell's fight with burglar
in herr deserves to be immortalized.
She is a slight girl only eighteen years
of age, and tends her fathers bakery in
New York. She was awakened at an
early hour in the morning by man
standing over her bed, and was told by
the burglar that if she screamed he
would kill her. Nothing daunted Min.
ME screamed and at once struck the
burg lar in the face with all her might.
Quite -tussle now ensued, the burglar
trying to escape from Minnie's grasp,
and she trying to hold him until her
father and the worknen from below
could come to her assistance. But the
robber broke away from her and made
his exit from a window, not, however,
until Minnie had recognized him as ohn
Oates, a resident of the next block.
When the police came they found Min
MES bureau ransacked and all her best
clothes gone; but fortunately they met
a man named Rogers in the street carry
ing a bundle of female wearing apparel
and arrested him. The clothing proved
to be Minnie's. They next went in
search of Oates and found him at a wake
next door to the bakery, coolly smoking
his pipe and cOndoling with the be-
reaved family. Minnie gets her heroism
from her mother, who is deaf. She
used to tell Minnie always to fight when
she got in trouble; and the old lady
