The Conduct of the Corpse.

Not long ago a widow stood at the
side door of a baggage car watching
the stowage of her .husbaEd'slcorpse.
AS she turned away anotherSlady, also
in mourning, appeared with adog, which
was intrusted to the care of the baggage
master. Several times as the train
stopped at stations the owner of the
dog approached the car with solicitous
lnterrogatories about the .brute's con-
dItiOn, until the patience of the baggage
functicnary was about exhausted. AT
length the widow sidled up to him and
asked If her poor dear was all right.
"Yes, confound him" growled the
baggage master, Withoutloeking at her.
"And another time you ship your poor
dear over this road he goes by freight

gangue OF ereviee matter. the dip and
trend Of good mines. All these things
have their importance. and none Of
them should be overlooked. After a
locality or mineral bearing mountain
has been pretty thoroughly explored by
shafts and tunnels, it is no hard matter
to tell on which side Of the mountain
the most mineral may be found. 1t is
the opinion Of practical scientists that
as a general rule the south and south
eastern exposure of a silver bearing
mountain is better than a northern or.
northwestern exposure. I give this for
what it is worth. My own experience
agrees with this, and l think it will hold
good in all mining countries. The prac-
teal geoiogist In looking for mines will
OF course be guided by the openings
that have been made by others, and
from the bluhders they have made he
can learn wisdom.
1t would do the energetic p~rospector
no harm to get himself a work on ga-
ology, say Steel's, OF Gray & Adams, or
Hitchcocks, and study it. Such a course
would save him May a hard days
work. He would not then, as is now
too often the case, be found digging and
delving in the very places where in the
very nature of things there a be no

that mineral may be found in n place
as well as altetAer. AItis enlyfound

THE PRECIOUS METALS.
Where and How They Usually
Lie.

a correspondent, Reuben Weisner, in
the Philadelphia Mining Journal, writes
that the precious metals are found in
nearly all the geologic formations, but
in some nor than others. Prof. j. ID.
Dana says: "Silver veins often inter-
sect trachite, porphyry and other erup-
tive rocks, or the sedimentary formation
in the vicinity of such rocks" Trachite
and porphyry are ancient lavas, and
are found only in eruptive formations
and outhows. F~eldspar,is the princi
pal ingredient of trachite. 1t is a rough
rock and has a blush yellow color. Por-
phyry may contain silica and limestone.
But silver is found most frequently in
the gneissoid granite, .Gnelss rock pro
nouhced NICE is q strlchted rock. 1t is
found sometimes striped with black,
red, gray or white. Whenever you see
a granite rock striped with these colors
you may know that it is a gneiss rock
Silver is also found in %amorphoSe gran
lite; that is, granite not stricated. ltis
also found in limestone and in por-
phyry, in sandstone. in trap rock and in
some shales. Silver and gold are found
in all the geologic formations, from the
Oldest Azoic up to the most recent Ter
tiary. The principal gangue matter in
silver lodes is ~calcite, winch is carbon
ate of lime, pearl, dnor and heavy spar,
which is sulphate Of barium. This is
easily known by its great weight. 1t
is about as heavy as solid iron. The
tiuor spar is known by its brilliant col
ors of blue, green and yellow. The
composition of heavy ,spar, is ,34-3 Of
trioxlde of sulphur, and 65-7 Of baryta

Injustice to Inventors.

The published portrait of Thomas A.
Edison has the look of a man who is
trying to think of a hard word, or one
who first awakes to the thrilling fact
that a small, dark spider with a red
stomach has climbed up bis leg so far
that it becomes a question of vital i'm
pOrtance as to which would be, most
advisable, to go down inside after HIM,
to reach up from below and corral him
or to mash the insect where he is by a
well-directed blow from the outside.
Perhaps this air of abstraction has
been acquired by Mr.. Edison's endeay-
oring to light up the Atlantic coast at a
cost of nine cents per night, which eff
fort has not been crowned with success.
1t may be, too, that his researches after
some invention of his brother telegraph
operators that has not been patented,
and his consequent duties in %purloining
the same, have made him round Shout
dered and planted or his boyish face
the appearance of a close student with
tendencies towards billousness. Mr..
Edison is said to be the most successful
inventor by proxy that the world has
ever seen. He has vlcariously invented
hundreds of useful instruments by
which lightning may be seized by tie
tail and made to do the bidding ofIa
poor, weak, fallible man, The wearing
brain work necessary to the perfection
of many Of these inventions he has thus
avoided, and bis health continues very
fair, while the poor, %unnoticed and I'M
known toiler who worked it out OF
space is probably pounding brass some
where in an unknown town, and fear
ing that any day may deprive him OF
his job.
Inventors never make the money out
of their ideas. Wealth to the
grand larceny man who successfully
puts the thing on the market. We once
invented an open-back joke that could
be used on the darkest night without
trouble. II had a chronometor balance
that adapted it to any climate and was
in every way a kind of joy-to-the-w orlC
joke, but we neglected to patent it, anG
now the man who successfully stole il
is rich, and he wears a clean white neck,
tie every day and hires his washing
done with the utmost abandon and dis
regard of expense. Sometimes we think
if we had a son who showed signs o.
genjus,we would ttyln every honorable
way to Wean his thoughts away from
things and turn. his attention TO trade
and if he still persisted we would biz
him farewell and tell him to prepar,
for death, an then we would send hin
to a modern college where the hazer'
could get hold of him, and death would
come to his. relief. 1t is pretty hard
, perhaps, to send a boy to college where
he will be %butchered to make a Harvard
holiday, but if he don't know any bette
than to be born into the world SHOWN,
signs of genius and poverty ON his fea
lures he has got to lake the ccnse
quences. Gentlemen, it's tough, but i
cant be d6tged very well.-Bill Nye.

The people of Stokes county, n. c.,
are very much excited over the laiseOy-
cry of the actual salerby one mannof his
wife to another. Alfred Jenkins the
owner of a farm in that section, a few
days since sold his wife to Noah Glide
well, a neighboring farmer for $500. He
then sold his farm and moved away,
leaving Glidewell in quiet possession Of
Lheanewly purchased wife. The trans
fer of the wife from one man to another
was done as though the men had simply
swappedA horses, The original owner
and Gliddwell were neighbors. Jenkins,
in a conversation, SAIL that he wanted
to move away and was not able to take
his wife. Glidewell said he was him
self tired of living alone, and was will
ing to buy her if Jenkins would be will
ing to sell her. The latter named $500,
and, after further conversation, the
transfer was agreed on. Mrs. Jenkins
was consulted, and cheerfully agreed
TO the sale. She at once took up hel
effects and went to Glidewell's house
where she is now living, and expresses
herself as happy and contented with
her new husband and home.

He Got What He Wanted.

New York Sun.
"You had better get rid of that stove
pipe hat; you'll be livclier without it,"
said Il powerfully built rcd-faccd young
truck-driver the other day as he nearly
drove over a delicate-looking gentleman.
The pedestrian had to skip in al undig-
nitied manner to cocape. "You want
your neck wrung badly" he said as he
gained the sidewalk, and looked after the
truck. The driver heard him and pulled
up his horses at once. "Will you wiring
it?' he asked, in gruf tones. The gen.
tleman took a few seconds to consider
the question. Then he said: "No, I'll
leave that job for the llangman; but I
will aatten your nose, if that will suit
you" It appeared that the proposal
suited the driver, for in thirty seconds he
stood before the fragile looking man.
Now t1atte9 my nose" he said, defiant
ly. 1t was done before the words were
his back in the gutter, the expression on
his od-bespattered countenance was
that of pain and Amusement. "What
did you strike that man for?'' asked a
policeman, hurrying up, and Selling the
gentleman by the arm. because he
asked me to strike him, You KNOW" was
the reply; land as he looked like an hon
est, good-natured young fellow, didn't
like to disobligc him." The policeman
looked at the truckman, who rose slowly,
and without making any complaint,
mounted the seat of his wagon and drove
off. ''Well," said the policeman, i'm
prcssively, as he walked away, there's
no accountin' for tastes"

Climbers and Their SunnOrlS

The use Of climbing plants is chiefly con
fined to veran,las and porcl,cs, and occasions
ally to cover al unsiylltly fence. They may
often be used elsewhere with pleasing effect,
and probably would be more frequent were
it not for the trouble ofrrovidiny suitable
supports. The old style with the delicate
and beautiful cypress vino is to place pole
eight or ten feet high and run Strings from,
wooden pins placed in Il circle around it to
the top Of the pole. This, when covered,
with vines, makes Il pretty pyramid, but it
is so formal that one docs not care for more
than one in a garden. In providing SUP
ports, whatever else they may be, they
should be strong by the end of summer
they are covered with great weight of foil
age and the winds arc apt to make IL wreck
OF them just when the plants arc at their
best. Common poles will become rotten by
the end of the summer. If locust can be had,
piece of this, no matter if crooked, can be
placed in the ground, and pole of any kind
spiked to it. In some places to make
partial screen, poles may be set ten feet or 50
apart, and Il strong cord run in fCstoons from
one to the other. When such Il support is
we'll covered by climbers, it is very pleasing.
For low climbers, such as the hybrid varic-
ties Of clcmatis, Il young rcd cedar is excel
lent. This should have its branches cut to
form a pyramid and may be used with the
bark on. 1fprcparcd beforehand the bark
may be removed and after the wood is sea-
soned mayb be painted some brownsl-grccll
color Such supports will last for years, aud
when covered will not have formal appear
