An enthusiastic crowd sailed out of this

to search for lost gold. The captain is q
New York boy. Fifteen years ago he sailed
ont of the port of Philadelphia on vessel
in charge of Captain Wilkie as common
seaman. In the last fourteen years he has
been engaged in the wrecking business on
the South American coast. He is regarded
as one of the most successful wreckers that
ever braved the sea. It is said of him that
he has never missed bringing up any wreck
that he has undertaken. Altogether, he Is
said to have raised about $50 vessels, large
and small He has also assisted numerous
disabled ships, and in some instances re-
ceived heavy salvage. The captain, although
in possession of large fortune acquired In
his business, is not yet satisfied. In his
eoines here and there along the South Amer
ican coast he became familiar with all the
wrecks that had taken place along there with
in the last century. Among them all there
was one that loomed up in monumental pro-
portions over the heads of others, SO far as
value was concerned. This was a Spanish
man -of-war sunk near the mouth of the Rio
de la Plata in the year $500. It was vessel
sent out to collect tribute from the different
Spanish possessions, and was returning to
Spain with S9, 900, 900 in Spanish gold when

The money at the time was contained In

they are nurtured is the richest he ever saw.

Oyerrun with Goats.

The island of Cyprus is overun with goats. It is estimated that there are 23O, ,O0O of these animals on the island. and planting is almost useless On &C., count of their ravages. "They carry no wool" says the St. James Gazette, furnish only bad meat, and hardly give more milk than the sheep to which, however, they are preferred on account of their feeding on ligneous vegetation, which the sheep reject. They are fed, therefore, almost en- tireIy at the expense of the woods, and not only, it is stated, does the goat destroy the young freshly grown plants, but it browses on the young branches of older trees. On the south ern mountains, also, where the soil is loose, the goat is accused of increasing this looseness, by scrambling about, and thus injuring young plants. which are dragged down and torn away by the falling of broken stones.'

An Errafic Major.

A very efficient officer of Turkish ir- regulars was major, who has been ga' zetted out of cavalry regiment at the cape as 8 deserter. He had applied for two months leave of absence to go lion shooting in Central Africa. He did not return for seven years. Having large fortune, he travelled about the world without any definite purpose, and hear ing of the demand for officers in the Turkish contingent, he thought of re suming 8 military life. He had been a good officer, and his application was granted at once. His strange habit was to carry nothing with him but comb, a toothbrush, and check-book. He said that baggage Twas bore, and that he could always buy change of linen. When he first appeared in England, after his adventures in Central Africa, he went to see his mother, lady ot great refinement. On the morning after his arrival she went to see her dear boy in his bedroom. There was no one there, the bed had not been used, the window was open and rope hung from it to the ground. In great alarm she sent servants in all directions to look for him. He was found asleep under g tree in the garden, which he said was more comfortable than close, stuffJ bedroom.-Tenple Bar.

A Plucky Little Drummer.

A gentleman now residing in New York said that he was once witness of a singular occurrence at a dance hall in Gunnison, Col. A smart little drummer from the East stood at the side of the hall watching, the dancers through his eyeglasses, which were balanced on the edge of his nose in a rather comical manner. The drummer was attired in a hobby suit of clothes, made from 8 very striking pattern. He presented altogether too foppish an appearance to please the fastidious taste of the frontier roughs. The bully of the hall was waltzing with the pride of the flats, the best dancer in town. When she caught sight of the drummer she laughed in her partners face, and as they came around again he brushed her rudely against him. Supposing that the col lision was the result of carelessness, the drummer paid no particular atten- tion to it. On the next turn, however, the bully threw his girl against the little fellow with such force as to knock his eyeglasses from his nose and nearly upset him. Biding his time the drum mer placed his glasses in his pocket, and when the ruffian came around again struck out with his right swiftly, taking he bully directly under the ear and dropping him as suddenly as if he had been shot.
 When the rough regained his feet, with his hand on his revolver, he found the drummers pistol within a foot of his breast.
 "You have the drop on me, pard, J he exclaimed, "and apologize. And now," he continued, eff you'll permit me to introduce you to the pride, I'm blessed if you shan't dance with her."
 "I don't desire to dance," replied the drummer; "but hereafter, as here tofore, l shall always stand ready tc defend my right to wear the style o1 garments which suits me best"

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

When friend corrects fault in you, he does you the greatest act of friend. ship.
 Fancy is imagination in her youth and adolescence. Fancy is also excur. sive; imagination, not seldom, is sedate.
 The best kind of revenge is that which is taken by him who is sc. gener- ous that he refuses to take any revenge at all.
 Is there one who has not tfo repent some slight, thoughtless omission oi duty or kindness toward those whom they love?
 Never fear to bring the sublimest motive to the smallest duty and the most infinite comfort to the smallest trouble.
 Be what nature intended you for, and you will succeed; be anything else and you will be ten thousand times worse than nothing.
 Let men call you mean, if you know you are just; hypocritical, if you are honestly religious; pusilanimous, if you feel that you are firm.
 The will of self-control does not di- minish, but constantly increases in strength, and there is scarcely any limit to it's attachments.
 Whoever is an imitator by nature, choice or necessity, has nothing stable; the fexibility which affords this apti- tude is inconsistent with strength.
 Sincerity is to speak as we think, to do as we pretend and profess, to per form and make good what we promise. and really to be what we would seem and appear to be.

Interrogation Points.

It is an admitted fact that three is not enough gold and silver in the world to serve the purpose of money, and that paper currency is as abso- lutely necessary as metallic. The ques- tion, in a nutshell, is: "Who shall issue the paper?''
 If paper circulation is money, why should it not, like gold and silver coin, be issued wholly by the govern ment? ..s.s-
 If it is not money, but simply sub stitute, what power has Congress to authorize banks to issue 8 substitute for thing, when the constitution denies them the right to issue the real ?
 Does not the exclusive power to issue the real carry with it the exclusive power to issue the substitute
 If it is claimed that the national banks do not issue their own currency but that it is issued by the government in such quantity as may be ordered by the banks, where is the justice or equity in allowing one class of investors to control the volume of currency to en. nance their private interests, without regard to the interests of all other classes?
 If it is impolitic to allow Congress tc control the volume of paper money. why allow it to control the volume oi silver money?
 If gold and silver are real money, and their quantity is so meager that paper substitute must be resorted to, why limit the coinage of silver, while the issue of bank paper is unlimited ?- Chi k c0go E'rpress.

A New Domestic Motor.

There has been within the past few
 years demand for small motors, both for the shop and the house. A large
 number of domestic motors have been
 brought out, but the greater part have failed of general approval. Steam, air and gas engines of small size and low price are readily found, but, for domestic use. the fact that all require more or less skill in using them seems to prevent their general introduction. There isalso at least one good water motor suitable for light work in the house. Thls is simple overshot wheel, driven by small stream of water from any house service where there is moderate pressure or head of water. The wheel is hung vertically, and is inclosed in a casing supported by iron legs. The new form of water motor re- gently introduced suspends the wheel, in the form of thin metallic disk, at the end of vertical shaft. From two to four streams may be directed against the cup-shaped vanes on the wheel, and as the wheel is suspended freely, the waste water has plenty of room to escape be- low. The wheel is inclosed in a casing having a dishing shape below, with the outlet for the water in the middle, to prevent clogging or stopping of the wheel by excess of waste water. The motor is designed to be screwed directly to the faucet, and to discharge the waste water into the sink, or by pipe into the house drain. The motor is made in several sizes, from small ma- chine of one-sixteenth horse power, which can be carried easily in the hand, up to one-horse power machines. -,
 It may be remarked, in connection with this motor, that there is also new steam motor on the same plan. A small jet of steam is thrown against the vanes of wheel inclosed in a metallic casing While this motor is theoretically waste full of steam it has the advantages of great simplicity and entire safety. No special care is needed to run it, and these things may outweigh the waste of power that must follow from the use of steam in this manner. Centurv Mnqa- zi1e

Queen VictOria's Long Reign.

Queen Victoria on October 25 com pleted reign of forty -four years and 128 days, which is just the length of time that Queen Elizabeth sat on the throne, that queen reigning from Mo- vember IT, 1558, to March A, 1903. Consequently she has reigned longer than any other English queen regnant, and longer than any English king, with the exception of George H., who reigned sixty years (1760-182O); Henry III., who reigned ffty-six years (1216- 1272), and Edward III., fifty years (1327 -1377),
