nay- "To rejoice in the Lord" is a duty:
There is a sense in which it may be said all
creation rejoices in the Lord. Everything
is glad in the Lord but rebellious men. The
Lord won grand victory over Satan, and
it is the duty of us all to celebrate that vic
tory. 1t is our duty to rejoice that deliver
ance from the bondage of sin and Satan has
been brought to us. But it is a very. great
privilege to be permitted "to rejoice in the
Lord" 1t is a vile SANDER on the Chris
tian religion to say that it fills the heart
with sadness and sorrow. 1t IS the cure for
sadness. 20 come, let us sing unto the
Lord let us make a joyful noise to the Rock
of our salvation" is the language which
pushes out of the Christians heart.

Fiddle AND Bow.--The fashionable
girls of the country have taken up the nd
die and the bow. The outlay for lnstru-
ments is often extravagant. One. young
belle has what she declares is Stradivarius,
$50 wears old. She has had it inlaid with
pearl. The addition has ruined its tone.
Still, that doesn't matter, since she has
made the instrument an oddity and can say
that it's cost has been nearly $500. Anoth-
er enthusiast has a fiddle that she deares
was a favorite of Paganini's. Its present ex-
traordinary tone may be due to the fact that
it is all tied up with old gold ribbons, Her
teachers warned her that the tight bands
would impair the quality, but the young
woman answered that the difference didn't
seem much to her mind, and in any event
she was determined to retain the ribbons,
because they suited her complexion.

Bp Few realize what an enormous amount
of power is stored up in coal. and how little
we really utilize it. Prof. Rogers has put
it nearly thus: The dynamic value of one
pound of good seam coal is equivalent to the
work of Il man day; and three tons are
equivalent to twenty years. hard work of
800 days to the year. The usual estimate of
a four foot seam is that it will yield one
ton of good coal for every square yard, or
about 5000 tons for each square acre. Each
square mile will then contain 3, ,2OO, 600 tons,
which, in their total capacity for the pro,
duction of power, are equal to the labor of
over 100000 able-bodied men for twenty
years. r
THE PISTOL MUST Goa defendant in
Court this week charged with carrying a
pistol concealed pleaded as q defence that
the pistol was not loaded. The court over
ruled the plea, and the jury found him
guilty. He also pleaded against the for
feiture of the pistol because it was not his
own but a borrowed one. The Court over
ruled this plea also, and the pistol was for
feited-Necdery Observer.

Unprofitable Counterfeiting

II have a unique counterfeit silver
dollar here" said a adOwn-town money
broker, as he threw what appeared to
be a Mexican silver dollar on the
show case. 1t was dated 1851, and
when compared with a genuine dollar
a slight irregularity intheword "Mexl-
cana" was apparent.
Treasury officials have recently
told the public that countertelters
have been making cents out OF pure
copper, and quarters and halves out
of genuine coin silver, obtained by
buying and melting trade dollars. The
difference between the actual value OF
the coin as bullion and its face value
as coin left liberal margin OF profit.
But in this counterfeit Greaser the
counterfeiters got badly left. 1t was
made in 1854. The counterfelters
bought quantity ofsilver and diluted
it till a dollar would be worth, as
they supposed, 81, cents. a couple
Of these dollars came into the posses
sion of my father. Hewas acquainted
with Mexican bullion and concluded
to have one of the dollars analyzed.
The 81, cents worth of silver panned
out, and, in addition, there were u
cents in gold.

4 Ca Stle in SDain

FROM a Mattoon tIi.) Special.
I. T. TOWnley, who is supposed
to be the heir OF the Townley-
Hall estate in England, valued at
$4,000, 1000, IS a rich farmer living
near this city. It has been reported
that Mr.. Townley has family Bible
over 100 years old containing a fam
lily record running back for 200 wears
that would afford important evidence
in substantiating his claim. Mr..
TOWnley, however. told your CORE
spOndent that this is not true. He
has only a family record, which runs
back to 1900 ThefOllOwing is in sub
stance his story: The Manchestera alma
nae OF 1856 first contained an adver-
tlsement, which has regularly appeared
since, lnQunlng for the next of kin OF
one John TOWnley, who was born in
Lancashire about the year 1870.
This John TOwnley is supposed to
have been an only brother OF II. 7.
TOwnley's great-grandfather Thomas
Townley, a bricklayer John Town
ley dying without living issue the de
ScendantS of his brother Thomas
would inherit his rights to the proper
ty. Mr.. Townley says he can prove
bI tiliA a AAtNNb DN At&OllS III Eii-
gland and in his possession that this
Thomas Townley was his great-grand
father, and that he Is his sole surviv-
ing heir. The only difficult point is to
prove that Thomas Townley was the
heir Of John Tovnley. NIr. /. T.
Townley was born in Manches-
ter, England in 1916. He and
his father emigrated to this
country about 1929. None OF
their relatives knew where they were
except that they We're somwhere in
America Their whereabouts were
learned by some one in England writ
ing letters OF inquiry to nearly every
post-olfce in the United States.one OF
which came to Mattoon and reached
its destination. Mr. Townlev intends
to 90 back this summer and work the
case for all there Is in it. For a month
past he has received on an average a
dozen letters a day from other Town
Ieys asking him 10 divide, from law
yers seeking fees, and from poverty
stricken people asking charity.

Origin of Familiar Proverbs

From the Brooklyn Eaglel
"Iruth is stranger than fiction" was
invented by an editor as a headline
to a twenty line lie so monstrously
eXtravagant, that he knew nobody
would believe ten words of it. The
original use of this proverb is continued
unto this day. Whenever you see that
line in a newspaper don't believe q
word you read under 1t.
"lfll make a spoon or spoil horn"
was the thought of a man who never
made spoon in all his life, and who
knew perfectly we'll that he couldn't
make one, and only took mean mans
malicious delight IN spelling a horn.
7. S.-For aman who likes to take his
horn straight the introduction of
spoon always spoils 1t.
"A wink IS as good as a nod to a
blind horse, was said by man with
a stiff neck, who wanted TO nod,
but couldn't: although why any sane
man should wish either to wink or nod
at blind horse no man can tell.
"A little more sleep and little more
slumber, commonly attributed to the
sluggard, was stolen by him from the
night watChman, who invented il in
dreams.
Fast bind, fast find, was remarked
by police justice when he bound the
tough over to keep the peace and fined
him S15.S5.
"All's well that ends well, " was said
by a murderer who killed dude The
name OF the murderer is suppressed lest
he should be Overrun with more orders
than he could fill. and thus be com
PEELED to hire a clerk, who would event
ually run off with all the money.
"All's fare in love and war" was the
inspired thought OF a railroad con-
ductor.
cone swallow does not make a sum-
mer, was the brilliant remark of
man who was trying to see how many
swallows do make a summer Nota
Bene-If the thermometer got half so
high as the eXperImenter did, the dog
days came right along on the heels of
Christmas that year. The record of
the swallows, however, was lost in the
dim mists of Oblivion, the great Irish
swallOwer.
Dead men tell no tales" was the
Joyous exclamation of the first editor
who slew man who came in with n
continued story of siXty-tive chapters
1t was this same editor who, upon re-
ceiving a demand for 10 cents from q
poet for an epic poem upon which he
had labOred twelveyears said Write
makes smite." And then he smote
him, that he died.

The Post-offiCe at Rome.

The post-Office at Rome Is the most
beautiful in the world. There Is moth
ing like it elsewhere. 1t IS a palace
with a garden in the center. 1t faces
the Piazza San SilvestrO and has also
an entrance on the Via Della Nlte.
From the outside it is nothing to look
at but an ordinary Roman building,
but inside it is a postal paradise. On
each side OF the entrance arches are
lovely frescoes, typical OF the use to
which the building Is put. There Is a
picture OF n bird with letter in It's
beak, swoOping down to the blue
waves to deliver it to a fish. A
nymph in another picture has around
her the entangled skein OF myrlads
OF telegraph wires. The fleet Mercury
with his winged feet and with the mod
ern addition OF a letter sack speeds
through the air. JOve hurls his light
nings along the telegraph lines, and
thus the frescoes 90. Inside there IS a
large garden with q fountain IN the
center. Around the four sides OF this
garden is a marble corridor and IN tins
corridor the people transact their busl-
ness with the Roman pOstoffice. 10
the right, entering from the piazza, Is
a row of windows, lettered. You 90 to
the window that attends toyOurInltlaJ
and the clerk hands out your letter tc
rou. The whole thing has a sort Of
nicnic effect. The letter-carriers re-
ceIve their mail at other windows ant

a Journalists Escapade
From the Stockton Record.l

From the Stockton Record
On a recent occasion a country
merchant from Merced, or somewhere
up there, registered his name at the
Asterisk Hotel in San Francisco, and
called for a room. The clerk told him
that the house was crowded, and the
best he could do for him was to put
him in one OF two rooms occupied by
acouple OF editors of dailynewspapers
from the interior. He said the editors
were very nice fellows, and, as they
had gone to bed ''tired, +" they would
sleep gently all night and give no
trouble. They represented respective
ly a morning and evening interior
paper. As the merchant knew them
both by reputation, he decided to
share the room of the evening journal
list. He retired, and was soon fast
asleep. His pantalOOns, with about
500 in the hip pocket, were left on a
chair. Pretty soon the journalist
walked up in a state OF burning thirst,
and concluding, of course that he
must have n new drink, commenced
prOwling around the room for his
pants. Hegot the merchant s instead,
and, not knowing that he had com
panlOn in the room, hauled them on,
OF course, and went downstairs into
the bar. He took it straight-abOut
four fngers-and, reaching down for
the quarter he knew he had left, drew
up one OF the merchants $50 pieces.
He examined it carefully, reached
down, and drew forth another double
eagle. Still more amazed, he contin-
ued the operation until he had drawn
orth S95 in gold and some small
hange. To assure hims elf that he
was not dreaming or threatened with
the jimiams he took another glass,
and threw one of the twenties on the
counter to see if it would ring. Seeing
that it was tangible and not visionary
coin, and, feeling that it was real
whisky that he was drinking, he de
termIned to play it for all it was
worth, and called all hands up to the
bar. He ''made night of it" and
spent more money than he had spent
in that way for seven years before.
In the morning the merchant found
the editors pantaloOns on the floor
and his own gone. Hereported at the
office, and declared that he would hold
the house responsible for his loss.
While the matter was under considera-
tion the journalist came in and the
merchant and the clerk tackled him.
He saw through the mystery OF the
coin, and was overwhelmed. He re-
turned all that he had left. and the
merchant let him off with a note OF
hand payable in Observation-Disclosures
OF 81. That journalist swears that
he Will repay the last cent if it takes
him a thousand years and bursts every
newspaper and bank in Stockton to
do 1t. The moral deduction is that
newspaper meu-whether morning or
evening should examine their pockets
before putting on their pantaloons
when away from home.

Durability of Leather

A correspondent to the British
Journal of Photography, speaks of
leather from a Photographic stand
point of view in the following manner !:
Generally speaking, leather is a per-
ishable substance, especially when 1t Is
a question Of preservation for thou
sands of years. Supposing it to be
carefully kept in a normal atmosphere
it may be expected to last a little over
700 or 800 years. Leather is injured
by damp, by excessive dryneSs, by
sulphurOus vapors from burning coal
gas and by salts sometimes present in
the soil. Peat sometimes preserves
and sometimes destroys animal re
mains, according to the salts it holds in
suspension. Leather sandals have
sometimes been preserved for ages deep
in peat bogs. Thegrave-digger in Ham
let" states that cOrpses will lie eight
or nine years in the grave before they
rot, and that of a tanner lasts nine
years, because his hide is so tanned
with his trade.
Perhaps the oldest specimens of
leather in the world have been found
in Egypt in tOmbs or mummy cases,
in which they were inclosed once for
all, beyond the reach of disturbance
The Oldest piece of Egyptian leathe
in the British museum Is the Bremne,
(Rhoid) scroll containing portion of
the ritual of the dead. Its date is
about 1900 B. c., and the scrollisnow
carefully preserved in a tin case; the
leather is so powdery that its custO-
dians are almost afraid to touch it:
the color is about that OF bright and
light new oak sole-leather, and per-
fectly clean. There are many leather
sandals in the museum dating about
1900 b. c., generally rotten, torn,
and distorted some ofthem are pretty
tough, however. The leather roll of
Cheops, recording the dedication of the
temple, may be Of the date OF about
1000 B. c., and is perhaps the oldest
piece of leather in the world. The
British museum possesses an elabO-
rate Egyptian leather sword-belt OF
about 500 or 600 B. c.; it is green and
discolOred; a casual observer might
take it for bronze.
Such durability as leather possesses
is unlikely to be found in the majority
of gelantine films, which may be a lit
tie hardened during the emanlpulatIOns,
but not much, except when treated
with alum.
In no case is it likely that a gelan-
tine film is properly tanned in the or
dinary manipulations, notwithstand-
ing the use OF alum. To avoid the
tedious process OF ordinary tanning,
skins have been sometimes treated
with alum and salt, more especially
in Hungary, but an inferior leather
was the result. All attempts to short
en- the process of tanning have failed;
the slow molecular changes must be
allowed to 60 on for months, or an in
ferior leather is the result. The quail
ty of the leather is influenced by the
vegetable astringents used in theproc-
ess. some give soft and spongy, 9th
ers hard and heavy leather; slow tan
ming with oak bark gives about the
best result.

Gold Fields Of Mexico.

From an Eagle Pass Tex Special
About two months since l.. C.. Davis,
an cd Californian OF 40 and an ex-
state senator, moved out on the Sabi-
ma RIVER, Mex, taking with him his
entire family, consisting of several
grown sons and daughters. The old
gentleman settled on an irrigablefarm
but he boys, more adventuresOme,
began prospecting in the Santa Rosa
Mountains for precious metals, of
which there were abundant traces of
sllve,. Within the last two weeks
theyhave struck several good veins
of slver-bearing rock, which they
worked to advantage. One of the
sons, however, kept on prospecting
for pld and a few days ago, at a
poln. about fifty leagues from Santa
Ross, Mex, distant l25 miles from
here, he uncovered a vein of gold
bearing quartz which old miners say is
the richest they have ever seen, and it
IS pronounced by experts to be I'M
eQutled in richness. Upon the exist
ezre of the new strike being known
pDspectors fiocked into the gold fields
and began stalking out claims, and
today the new district is being filled
up with all natiOnalities as fast as
the difficult manner of getting to it
VII permit. The new d.stsict is sit
uaed IN the heart Of u rugged Santa
Rosa range OF mountains, and every
thing has to be taken into the new FL
Dorado on pack mules, and conse-
qently everything is very dear. The
otter Davis boys have abandoned
wel-paying silver mines which they
hal opened up and have gone to the
goH fields. Robertson and Owens,
tive contractors on the Mexican Inter
national Railway, upon the compile
tiOl of that road to its pres
ent terminus, Casino, began pros
pecing, and are now working
within twenty-five miles of the new
golC fields a true fissure of silver bear
ing ore that assays four ounces OF
gOH and 1000 of silver to the ton.
Th fissure can be traced for several
mIhs IN the mountains, but as every
thing has to be taken in and out OF
thil district on mules their opera
tlO's SO far are comparatively light.
Silver mines have been worked in
these Mountains for over two hun
dred years continuously, and to profit
to the owners. In the old cathedral
at San.a Rosa are records showing
where tle Cedral Silver Mines, at the
present operated by a Mobile Com
pany, and the San Juan Mines and
several others, all silver producing,
with a mall trace of gold, paid tithes
to the Church in the latter part of the
sixteenth century. There are numer-
Gus otier mines near by which were
worked by the old Spanish conquer
ors Of Mexico, but which had to be
abandoned on account of water com
ing in On them, owing to the primitive
name which they employed of bur
rowing the vein without piles. There
is intense excitement at Sabinas over
the ney discovery, and already over
one hundred men have arrived at the
fields and located claims. There is
plentr OF water and fuel convenient,
and With the advent of machinery this
district Is destined TO become a big
field in the gold-producing regions OF
the world.

LONDON SHAKEN.
\ Big Dynamite Scare in the Admiralty
Building.

\ Big Dynamite Scare in the Admiralty
Building.
London was thrown INTO a fearful
commotion on the 23d, and the whole
civilized world was made aware Of the
fact by cable, by the announcement
that an attempt had been made to
blow up the Admiralty building
Later dispatches disclosed the mole
hill by explaining that there had been a
mysterious bang in or near the build
ing occupied in part by the Admiralty
office, and that one man was slightly
injured. The London police, as usual,
are on the track Of the assassins, but
there is some reason for believing that
the explosion was accidental, and was
caused by the spontaneous ignition of
q specimen OF torpedo explosive which
had been sent TO the Admiralty for
inspection.
