RESULTS OF SUPERSTITION
other day a banker at Liege was
given a little dinner party, to which
ten guests had been hidden, beside
himself and his wife, when in dropped
friend from the antipodes and in
vited himself to dinner, making the
fatal thirteenth. The banker, to
conjure ill-luck, rushed downstairs
to his office, found the cashier just
about to leave for the evening,
dragged him upstairs, fitted with a
dress coat, and led him triumphant
ly into the drawing room, amid the
applause of the relieved guests,
three of whom declared that they
would not sit down to the best din
ner ever served II there were thirteen
at the table. At that moment the bell
rang, and a note was brought from
one of the guests, whose wife had
suddenly fallen ill, and who conse-
quently was unable to be present
Thirteen again! Gloom and despair;
and the cashier, finding himself the
Jonah of the evening, volunteered to
depart The banker sees him down
stairs and is expressing his regret,
when---joy!--the family doctor
heaves in sight. Him the host Sc
cures, and happy in being able to Of
fer the Inequalities to his kind-heart-
ed and sorely tried employee, returns
to the drawing room. Dinner is or
dered to be placed upon the table,
and just as all is ready, the hostess,
who is in delicate health, and who
has been unduly excited by all these
untoward events, faints dead away,
and has to be put to bed. Thirteen
again! This time there is nothing
for the cashier to do but to 60 and
dine with what appetite he may have
at the corner restaurant.

A SOLID RANK.

In all the essentials of greai, solid and
enduring bank, the Pacific Bank, corner of
Pine and Sansome streets, takes front rank.
Its prosperity it the reward of fidelity to
sound and conservative business principles,
which is the touchstone of its success. No
temptation of n speculative era has swerved
it from this policy, and no run or panic has
come to check its career. At the opening
of its twentieth year it has, after paying
its regular dividends, adding to its surplus,
ton to its paid up capital of $1,0O0,0OO,
which is more than covered by the two items
of assets. United States bonds and cash in
vault resources of a character to be realized
on call, aggregating upwards of three and
three-quarter millions, the best clientage
and reputation on the Coast, unsurpassed
facilities for business, and it is superfiuous
to shy an assured future.

A RARE PATRIMONY.-A Young man

A HARE PATRIMONY.-A young man
in Edinburg, who had no fortune, re-
quested lawyer, friend of his, to
recommend him to family where he
was daily visitor, and where there
was handsome daughter, who was
to have large fortune The lawyer
said he did not exactly know how,
but he would inquire. The next
time he saw his young friend he
asked him if he had any property at

"Well," said the lawyer, would

THE WORLDS SECURITIES,

The Saturday Rerie,U remarks
upon the fact that while the worlds
wealth has been increasing kenor-
mously, the number of first class Sc
c,lrities has been steadily decreasing.
The national debt of the United
States is being paid off at a rapid
rate, that of Britain more slowly,
and the debts of other nations ac
counted tirst-class security have not
increased except those of France and
Russia. Another force has also been
at work to reduce the number of Sc
curities. The people of nations
formerly poor are becoming rich,
and an increasing quantity of their
debts are held at home. Thus the
Italian debt was once held wholly in
foreign countries, principally Eng
land, Holland and France. At the
present time Italians are holding
great quantities of their own bonds.
1t is argued from these and other
circumstances that the prices of safe
stock exchange securities will rise,
and that the tendency to rise will
continue until some great war leads
to the borrowing of heavy sums of
money, and thus creates new lot of
first class stock exchange securities.
The destruction of wealth by the war
would also lessen the growth of wealth
and decrease the competition for safe
securities. 1t might be added that
anything which would cause the PEG
pie to squander their earnings or
lock them up in unproductive securi
ties would have the same result in
destroying wealth as would war.

ASLEEP, AS UsUAL.--The San
Francisco Alta of late date
publishes this: "A tramp offered
to drink as much liquor as any
body in an Evansville bar room
would pay for, and proved it by
empyting full tumbler; He then
said he would drink twelve glasses
of beer as fast as they could be
drawn, and succeeded in that under
taking. A few minutes afterward, in
another saloon, he drank two brim-
ming tumblers of whisky. Then he
died." If the Alta could be awak-
ened from its slumber it would learn
that the circumstance occurred
under it's very nose less than six
weeks since. It was at Oakland,
Cal, and the tramp did not die.

How SLEIGH BELLS ARE MADE
has. no doubt, been mystery to many
readers how the iron balls inside of
sleigh-bells got there, and it is said
to have taken considerable thought
on the part of the discoverer before
the idea struck him. In making
sleigh bells the iron ball is put inside
a sand core, just the shape of the in
side of the bell. Then a mould is
made just the. shape of the outside
of the bell. This sand core, with the
jingle inside, is placed in the mould
of the outside, and the melted metal
is poured in, which fills up the space
between the core and the mould.
The hot metal burns the core, SO that
it can be all shaken out, leaving the
ball within the she'll Bail valves,
swivel joints, and many other articles
are cast in the same way.

The Sheep Of Thibet.

The sheep of Thibet, which are very
numerous, are chiefly small variety of
the fat-rumped Persian and Abyssinian,
with black heads aud necks. Some are
hairy, with short wool underneath, while
others bear long, soft and fine wool.
It Is from the latter that many of the
costly Indian shawls are made. Not
little of this peculiar wool finds itway to
British India, and is there manufactured.
This breed is found in its purest state in
the deserts of Great Tartary; no other
variety being near to contaminate its
blood. 1t reaches far into the interior
and northern parts of Russia and is
much disseminated in China, Persia,
Hindostan, Asia Minor and eastern At
RIGA as well as Thibet. In Palestine it is
more numerous than any other breed;
indeed the largest proportion of the sheep
OF northern Asia being of this descrip-
ton. Professor Pallas con lectures that
this character arises in the fat-rumped
sheep from their feeding upon the bitter
and saline plants found upon the borders
of the Caspian and Black seas. And
he asserts that when they are
removed from the places where

becomes less. But Garfield says, as
the fat-rumped and fat-tailed sheep are
varieties which are widely dispersed, it
seems more probable that they may have
been produced by accident, and may
also have been perpetuated by accident.
design or fancy. The fat-tailed sheep is
very extensively diifused; it is found
throughout Asia and a great part of At
RIGA, as well as through the northern
parts OF Europe. They differ, like other
sheep, in the nature of their covering. In
Madagascar, and in some other hot eli.
mates, they are hair; at the Cape of Good
Hope they are covered with coarse wool;
in the Levant their wool is extremely
fine. The proportion which the weight
of the tail in some of these sheep bears
to the whole caIcase is quite remarkable
The usual dressed weight of the sheep
is from fifty to sixty pounds, of which
the tail is said to make more than one
fourth part. Russell describes two breeds
offat-tailed sheep about Aleppo; in one
the deposit of caudal fat is moderate, in
the other sort the tail is much larger
The unctuous fat of the tails of these
sheep is accounted great delicacy alike
by the Beers and the Hottentots of south
ern Africa. The Hottentots. in their
primitive condition, possessed immense
focks and pursued the pastoral arts with
great success. DIR. Mitchell.

Something Queer About Ants.

Sir John Lubbock has made out thai
ants do not recognize ants of the same
nest by any sign or password, though he
thinks it impossible that in the case OF
nests containing 100000 each, all the
ants know each other individually. The
way in which he disproved the sign or
password theory was exceedingly ingen.
ious. He took pupe from various nests
and gave to some of them attendants
from different nest of the same species,
so that if they were taught any sign or
password the ants thus brought up would
know the sign of their nurses nest, and
not that of their own, except when the
nurse had been taken from their own
nest. Then he returned some of them
to their own nest, some to their nurses
nest. The result was as follows: OF
pup@ brought up by friends, and re-
turned to their own nest, none were at
tackled, but all welcomed. OF pupa
brought up by strangers of the same
species, and returned to their own nest,
thirty-seven were welcomed and only
seven were apparently attacked; but of
these seven Sir John was doubtful in
three cases. OF pupe brought up by
strangers OF the same species, and put
into the nest OF those strangers, none
were welcomed; all fifteen were attacked.
Hence, ants of the same nest do recog-
nize each Other, but not by any sign or
password-probably by some smell or
other sense quite unknown to us. The
whole series OF these experiments of Sir
John Lubbock's are most interesting,
and we hope he will some day embody
his studies in an essay on these highly
intellectual insects. - Chambers Journal.
