- In recent lecture delivered by the
Rev. r. A. Cross, of Denver, Col, he
said: Scientists tell us that the water
of the ocean contains gold at the rate of
one grain, or about four cents worth to
every ton. At this rate 10000 cubic feet
of ocean water contains about 81 worth
of gold. If the ocean has an average
depth of one mile Though it is probably
greater), it contains enough gold to fur
nish S15,O0O,000 to every man, woman
and child in all the world, or more than
s1O0,000,O00 to every family of sevep;
At this rate, if figures do not lie, cubic
mile of ocean water contains about $780,
100000 worth of gold.

New Way 10 get Drunk.

"Let me have little butter, please"
said a stout, elderly gentleman, who
stood in front of the bar the other even
ing, with a glass of steaming hot rum
before him.
The white.aproned bartender bent
down and from a shelf underneath the
polished mahogony brought up dish of
butter, in which was stuck silver knife.
With this the man took off lump of
butter and dropped it into his glass and
stirred it about until it was melted.
Then he drank the concoction slowly,
with an oily smile overspreading his
features.
eyes, it is rather curious drink"
said the bartender to the reporter stand
ing by, "but it's very pleasant one, and
a great fayorite with some gentlemen.
Those who don't know of its effects,
however, had better leave it alone, for
the effects are apt to be queer. The man
who drinks a number of these hot runs
would be quite sober when he went home,
but in the morning when he woke up he
would be as drunk as lord. That's odd,
isn't it? But it's easy enough to ex.
plain. It's because there is SO much oil
in the butter.
"Let me explain, and you can try it
yourself. Take bottle of sweet-oil with
you when you go out with the boys the
next time. Order any kind of liquor
you like, though I wouldn't bother much
with beer if I were you. Pour into your
glass few drops of the swcet.oil every
time you take a drink. No matter how
much you drink you will keep sober,
while your friends, if they have kept up
with you, will be in very 'how.come
you.so' condition. You go home and go
to bed feeling all right, and in the morn.
ing, when you wake up, you will be dead
drunk. The reason is simple. Oil, as
you must know rises to the surface.
consequently, when you drink these
oil. covered concoctions the oil will re.
main on the surface in your stomach,
keeping the fumes Of the liquor down.
That prevents you from getting drunk.
When you have stopped drinking and
gone to sleep, thus giving your interior
arrangements chance to 60 about the4<
ordinary duties, the oil will gradually
evaporate itself through the system,
allowing the fumes of the liquor to rise
to your head. The consequence is that
you awake in the morning full It's
the funniest thing in the world when q
man has this experience for the first
time" ."-Mew York Star.

NINE of the leaders of the anti

have been indicted by the grand jury
of the United States district court.
The Indictment is found under section

who "conspire" to "oppose by force
the authority of the United States,
or "by force to prevent, hinder, or de-
lay the execution of any law thereof, :"
are on conviction subjected to g. fine
of from $500 to $4,000, and to inn
prisonment for from six months to six
years, or to both such fine ands i'm

Suits for Damages,

One OF the heaviest newspaper advertisers
In this country is the Brown Chemical
Company, of Baltimore, Md. During the
first five years in which they have been in
business they have invested in the neigh
borhood of 800, 900 in the use of print
ers' ink. In consequence of this large out
lay, the name of Browns Iron Bitters is
familiar to the English-reading public all
over the world and the sale of their goods
has been in proportion to their enterprise.
Like all goods whose merits deserve conf
dence, these bitters have been initiated by
INSCRIPTIONS parties desirous of profting
by the labor of others, and various
cOncoctions have been placed upon
the market under titles bearing a close
resemblance to that of the above standard
remedy Of the Brown Company. These
frauds have been practiced 30 extensively
that the prOprietOrs of Browns Iron Bit
tiers, finding the perpetrators can be reached
in no other way, have begun suits for
damages against Frederick Stearns 81 Co.,
Detroit, Mich, who are known as the Non
Secret Medicine Manufacturers. for selling
Iron Tonic Bitters; against Meyer Bros. 6
Co., ST. Louis, wholesale druggists, for sell
ing Browns Iron Tonic, prepared by G. j.
Lincoln, Little Rock, Ark, and against Jas.
A. Dickinson, q druggist in Baltimore, for
selling Iron Tonic Bitters with his name
upon the label which medicine was made
by Koshland, Hollander & Co., OF that

AN UNTIMELY END.
Expression of Sorrow at the Death of f.
g. Stevens at AvOca.

CHICAGO, Ill, April 1.-THE death,
at .Avoca, Wis, of E. G. Stevens,
founder of the Evening Mail, creates
genuine sorrow in newspaper circles in
this city, among which Mr.. Stevens
was deservedly popular and esteemed.
The Mail will say editorlally this
afternoon: "The sad news will be re-
ceived with sorrow by the thousands
of people who knew Mr.. Stevens during
his residence in Chicago. He was
a young man of many excellent
qualities of head and heart, scrupu-
lousy honest in all his dealings and
respected by everybody who came in
contact with him. The Mail regrets
his untimely death sincerely and ex-
tends to his mourning relatives and
friends it's sincere coincidence. In all
the relations of the new management
of this paper with Mr.. Stevens he was
found to be a young man of sterling
honor and high integrity"

THE country towns and villages in
the neighborhood in the large cities in
the East are now beginning to suffer
from the burglars who wintered in
town and are now starting on their
spring tours. The business does not
pay in the country during the winter,
but in spring and summer revival of
the industry is always expected and
disappointment in this particular is
seldom experienced. Old and dex-
ferrous burglars say that the difficulty
in working the country towns is not
IN doing the Job, but in getting away
with the stealings, since strangers are
observed more closely in the country
and in country towns than in cities,
hence long and hasty journeys with
loaded wagons are necessary in order
to complete the operation. Much
complaint is also made in New York
and Pennsylvania of the unwillingness
of sheriffs and their deputies to follow
raiders any considerable distance,
since in many cases the trips must be
made at the expense of the officers,
there being no funds available for pur-
suit. So until the people of the rural
districts provide better safeguards for
their property, or supply the sheriffs
with money to overtake and catch the
burglars, the annual spring raids will
probably continue.

THE president has called the atten-
ton of Congress to q serious defect in
the Chinese immigration act of 1884,
which has the effect of depriving Chinese
merchants visiting this country of the
right to land that is distinctly guar
anteed to them by treaty. The act
itself purports to exempt that class of
Chinese from the restrictions which
apply to laborers, but itrequires them
to present certificate of their char
acter as merchants or travellers issued
by the Chinese government. But many
subjects of China are living in other
countries, or set out from other coun-
tries to come here, and ale unable to
obtain certificates from their govern
ment. A Chinese merchant who came
from Hong Kong was lately sent back
from San Francisco because his certif-
cate was issued to him by the Ameri-
can consul at the former port, his own
government having no representative
there. Our government ought certain
ly to recognize for this purpose the
certificates OF its own representatives,
and by requiring in all cases certifi-
cate from the Chinese government it
in effect renders nugatory it's own

A PROMINENT official of the Indian
Bureau argues that the number of In
dams is being reduced rapidly, and
much more rapidly where they are
counted than where they are simply
estimated. He instances the Arapa-
hoes and Cheyennes, who were recent
counted and their number reduced
about 1000. "The Indians, "hesays,
"are superstitious about being
counted, and an attempt to force an
actual census would probably result in
awar." Considering thefatal effects OF
a count, their aversion to it is quite
ineligible. Perhaps the most effec-
tive way after all to exterminate the
savages would be to keep on counting
them early and often in spite of theis
preiudices against that operation.

A Horrible Death.

For six months a young man named Fer
guson. living at Great Falls, Me-, has been
suffering from some disease which baffied
the physicians, none of them being able to
explain the cause of the trouble. One ofthe
symptoms was an occasional violent chok-
ing sensation in the throat. Anew days ago,
while the patient was suffering intensely, q
small snake thrust it's head out of his
mouth. The next time the reptile appeared
it was removed. The young man died in q
few minutes, and an examination revealed
the fact that a portion of the snakes tail
had grown fast to the lining of the stomach,
and it's removal had burst a blood vessel,
causing death.

Assembly of 1894 a Luzerne County
Justice of the peace the other day fined
a. profane Pole 40 cents apiece for
twenty-six oaths, and in default OF
the sum total Of $1O.4O sentenced the
swearer to twenty-six days at hard
labor in jail on a diet of bread and
water, as the old act permitted. But
an appeal and reference to a later law
of 1860 showed that common swear
ing came considerably cheaper and
the profane Pole was released from

emit finds that the want of good air
which Is talked about so much in
Washington is really only a want of
exercise, and that the congressman

to have the habit of ridingto the CAPT
toll to take their seats and then home
again, and never taking outdoor exer-
else upon any occasion. There is
something to all this, but the CORE
spondent should remember that keep
ing his seat exercises the average con-
gresham more than anything else in

Yet there are no signs of the end of this

Mother and Daughter Burned

Particulars havereached Little Rock from
Paragould Green County, Arkansas. of the
burning to death of a lady named Mrs.
Thorp and little daughter, living six miles
from the above place. The woman and
daughter were burning stalks in a field
when the clothing of the little girl caught
fire, soon enveloping her in flames. Her
screams attracted the mothers attention,
who ran to her child's relief; but the grass
was also on fire, and before Mrs. Thorp
reached the child, her own clothing caught
AND she too, was soon wrapped in flames.
Both were burned to a crisp.
