OIL. XVIII.-NO. 27.

In Europe, the Ural mountains dividing
Asiatic from European Russia, furnish the
largest quantities. 1t is also to be found
in the sands of the Rhine in Prussia, the
Rhine in France, the Tagus in Spain, the
Danube in Turkey, and many other rivers,
but as it exists in such small Quantities in
these respective places, it would not pay
working expenses.
The great mines Of Asturas and Grana-
da, in Spain, formerly furnished large
amount. These mines were very rich and
valuable, but they are now entirely neg
lected. In Italy small quantities were
found in the Al ps; in the sands of some of
the rivers at Edelfois in Sweden; and it
was also found in the Carpathian noun
tains in the Austrian empire The richest
and largest mine in Europe, with the ex-
ception of Russia, perhaps, is at present in
Hungary. This and the Ural mountains
have furnished the chief European supply
England had also her gold districts In
the reign of Queen Elizabeth extensive
washing for gold was carried on at Lead
Hills and Lanarkshire, Scotland; also at
Glen Turret, in Perthshire, at Cumberland,
in Lanarkshire, and more recently large
quantities were found in Sutherlandshire,
ireland, toward the close of the last CEN
tury, supplied a large quantity of gold, but
the yield lasted only for short period
1t was found at Arklow, in the County Of
Wicklow. Pieces were found by the peo-
pie from the smallcs5 particles to 20 ounces
in weight Gold was also found at Dolgelly,
in North Wales, and energetic proceedings
were carried on there Most of the gold
of the United States is worked up into
jewelry and not into coinage, as supposed
by many, large manufactures being in
Providence, R. l., Newark, N. j., Phia-
delphia, New York aud numerous other
places. Nevertheless, we must look in the
future, as in the past, to America and
Australia to furnish sufficient supply of
the precious metal for artistic workers and
coinage, for many hundreds of years yet to
come

A Building Five Feet Wide.

The narrowest house in New York may
be seen at the northwest corner of Licking
ton avenue and Eighty-second street.
When Lexington avenue was cut through,
some years ago, a strip of land five feet
wide and one hundred feet deep was all
that was left of certain lot belonging to
person who did not own the next lot on the
street. The strip, while of little value by
itself, would be valuable to the person
owning the adjoining lot on Eighty second
street, because it would not only enable
him to build house five feet wider, but
would give him windows all along the side
of his house on Lexington avenue. The
two owners, however, could not agree as to
terms, and house was erected on the lot
adjoining the narrow strip. The owner of
the latter had nothing to do but to abandon
his lot or build house five feet wide upon
it. The latter course was perhaps adopted
because such house would shut up all the
side windows of the neighbOring building
and considerably reduce its value. The
new building, which has been finished, is
therefore five feet wide, one hundred feet
deep and four stories high. 1t is divided
into two houses, each fifty feet long, and
the entrance doors are, of course, on
the avenue, as there is no room for door
at either end of the building. The law al
lows building at the corner of street to
have projecting bay windows along the SIDE
and taking advantage of this circumstance,
the architect has managed to plan house,
which, while peculiar in inside appearance
and probably very uncomfortable to live in,
may find tenants. Without these bay win
dows, or square projections running from
the foundations to the roof, it would not
have been possible to build house at all,
for no room would have been wider than
three feet Each house has, therefore, two
bay windows, in one of which are the stairs
and in the other one room about eight feet
wide by fifteen feet long upon each floor
The long passage between the stairway and
the room is about three feet wide. Each
house contains kitchen eight by fifteen
feet and four rooms, each of the same size,
but on different floors There are also in
geniously-placed closets at each end of the
building and under the stairs. Both houses
are unoccupied. One is offered for rent at
$500 year.

How to Loosen a Tight Screw.

The London Builder says: zone of the
most simple and readiest methods for loos
ening rusted screw is to apply heat to the
head of the screw. A small bar or rod of
iron, fiat at the end, if Redeemed in the fire
and applied for couple or three minutes
to the head of the rusted screw, will, as
soon as it heats the screw, render its with
drawal as easy by the screw-driver as if it
was only recently inserted screw AS
there is kitchen poker in every house,
that instrument, if heated at its extremity,
and applied for few minutes to the head
of the screw or screws, will do the required
work of loosening; and an ordinary screw
driver will do the rest, without causing the
least damage, trouble, or vexation of spirit.
In all work above the common kind, where
it is necessary to use screws, and particu
larly in hinge work and mountings, fancy
fastenings and appliances affixed to joinery
or furniture work, we would advise the oil
ing of screws or the dipping their points in
grease before driving them. This will rem
der them more easy to drive and also to
withdraw, and it will undoubtedly retard
for longer time the action of rusting.

a drawing room filled with company. The
evening passed in reading, music and pleas
ant conversation As Mr.. Blair was about
retiring, Adrian said
''Do you think now that we were fools
to marry?
Rosa stood with her hand drawn within
one arm of her husband and clasped, and
with face radiantly happy.
A shade crept over Mr.. Blair's counte-
nance.
mo. not fools, but wise, as others might
be, if they were only courageous enough
to do as you have done, Mrs. Adrian, and
he took the young wifes hand. Il honor
your bravery, your independence, your
true love that cannot be Overshadowed by
worldliness, that mildew of the heart, that
blight of our social life. You are thou
sand times happier in your dutiful seclu-
sion than any fashion-loving wife or slave
to external appearances can ever be.
II love my husband, and | live for
him." Rosa leaned closer to the manly
form by her side. II understood when
we married that he was life-toiler that
our home would be established and sustained
by the work of his hands; and | under
stood as well that | was not his superior,
but only his equal, and that if it was right
and honorable for him to work, it could be
no less right and honorable for me. Was
| to sit idle and have a servant to wait on
me, when his was a lot of toll Mono !
| had my part to perform as we'll as he,
and [ am performing it to the best of my
ability.
You are true woman, Il wise woman,
a good woman" said Mr. Blair, with ar
dor; land you will be as happy as you de-
serve to be. | thought Henry fool to
marry on twelve hundred dollars, and told
him so. But | take back my words. If
such women as you were plentiful, we
could all marry and find our salaries ample.
Goodnight, and may God bless you =
And the bachelor clerk, who could not
afford to marry on two thousand dollars Il
year, went to his lonely home-lonely,
though peopled thickly-and sitting down
in his desolatc chamber, dreamed over the
sweet picture of domestic felicity he had
seen, and sighed for like sweet hiding
place from the world, and all false profes-
sions and heartless show.
