HIDDEN TREASURES.
Odd Ways in Which Valuable Things Are
Frequently Revealed.

Every one engaged in historic in
vestigatiOn, OR in search of fading
facts, is often astonished at the odd
stock of knowledge, Or obtains hints
which lead to successful results. The
sound of name may direct inquiry.
An incident recalled by some one from
the dim regions of memory may give
new direction to the search, and with
good results. In the most Out-Of-the-
way places are found the desired facts.
A dust-cOvered pamphlet from some
old bookcase or garrett may come to
the ight-long uncared for, but now
valuable. A scrap of manuscript gives
key to some unintelligible writing.
One gathering up his family history
found an old letter without signature;
and this supplies a fact that reveals
the writer and locates one part OF
the family life. A man buying an
article saw the shop-keeper cut leaf
from an old book; an examination
proved the book to be a very valuable
volume of church records lost and sold
as waste paper, but now recovered.
Mr.. warner In search for tokens had
some curious illustrations of this One
token in his collection was taken from
a boys fish line, on which it was used
as sinker. Two others were found
in an old box of scrap lead and pewter
sold to a hardware firm; another was
taken from a boys trading pocket at
school, and another was rescued from
the great fire at st. Johns, N. B., last
season by the holder not being able to
be present at the communion, all the
rest being burned. On a large scale
we see the same remarkable provt.
dence in the wonderful results of anti
quarian research in the old world
God has curious hiding places for pre-
cious things. and he heads the diligenf
seeker when the time for their recov.
cry comes.-Ueited Presbyterian.

A WOMAN.S FORTUNE.
How She Made Forty Thousand Dollar
Ont IF a Crane Soed

How She Made Forty Thousand DollarS
Out of a Grape Seed.
The fact that fortunes in these days
are quite as frequently made by chance
as by assiduous labor is demonstrated
in the case of a. woman now residing
near Buffalo, but whose former home
was Euclid township, near Cleveland,
says the Pittsburgh Dispatch. Tho
section of Northern Ohio extending
along the lake shore from Sandusky
to Ashtabula is one of the best grape
growing countries in the world, and
thousands of acres of vineyards are
cultivated profitably. Much of the
crop is turned into wine, while the
finer varieties are put on the market
for table use. Some years ago this
woman was left a. widow in strait
ened circumstances. Her only means
of livelihood consisted of small vine
yard.
Among the varieties of grapes was a
plant that her husband had but recent
ly set out~as an experiment. The puny
vine bore this season but a single
bunch of grapes. It is well known, of
course, that grapes are raised from the
cuttings and roots and not from seed.
This woman out of curiosity planted
the seed from one of the grapes of this
vine. They sprouted and did so well
that the young vine was transplanted,
and when sufficiently developed bore
handsomely a variety of grapes that
differed radically from the original
seed. It was a luscious table grape. A
neighboring nurseryman had his at
tentiOp drawn to the new grape and
made the woman a proposition to take
cuttings from the vine, give the variety
a name, and put it on the market, pay,
ing her a royalty on all roots sold.
She accepted it and in a few yeara
reaped a small fortune as her share OF
the profits from the sale, as the grape
became an immediate favorite. Forty
thousand dollars in royalties were paid
to her by this nurseryman. She sold
her little vineyard and retired to live
at ease the balance of her days in her
native town in New York State on the
money brought her by the seeds from
a single grape planted almost by
chance.

down this precipice- as some 1,ose-
atonement, the only reparation left
ME, for my folly and for your tears"
What woman could be insensible to
so much earnestness? What woman
that loved? What woman could ask
man to jump a hundred feet down on
jagged rocks? A handsome man, man
with q million man who, as he
told her, loved only her, and offered
to prove it by jumping any time she
gave the signal.
As. at last, they walked home arm
in-arm along the shawdowed. sinuous
path. she said: tom. how dare you
swear you would jump if didn't for
give you? Would you have really
jumped?"
''Oh, that's a leading question, my
love-" was the reply. 81 probably
would have jumped, for felt thoroughly
wretched at the time, and hated myself
for having caused you such pain. Then,
too. my dear, you may also bear in
mind that I did not really swear I'd
jump. I said in effect that would
swear, which is quite. different thing.

is, my dear; one hundred feet to some

upper ones, however. One more kiss,
Kate, just one; this is really the last
chance. Around the bend we will be

RICHARD A. PROCTOR

w
Profound and Popular
Prof r. l. Proctor beAnge6 lt0
that small but increasing company OF
scientists who are az once profoun6
and popular. There is no good reason
seem to be Incompatible. Yet there
still fingers a prejudice which
formerly amounted to a convictions to
the effect that depth and dul1ness are
synonymous terms. The world OF
science, no less than the greater world
of humanity, owes debt of gratitude
to every man who helps to dispel so
mischievous q delusion. In this res
gard Proctor may be classed with Fare
ady, Tyndan Huxley, and With cur
own Agassiz and Asa Gray.
We have implied that the prejudice
which denies solidity "a the attaips
ments OF popular Lecturer on science
has still lingering existence It hae
occasionally shown itself in newspapers
and magazine references TO Prof. Prods
tor as superficial" Those nho used
such language respecting him merely
exhibited their own ignorance. He
who, at the age of twenty-sixs pubs
1ished in the Co,rahiH Magazine an ess
say on Double Stars which pro-
pounded totally fnew astronomical
doctrine that was rejected at the time
because the author was so youngs and
al that subsequent research has tended
to confirm, and whose theories con-
corning the solar corona and
the inner complex solar atmosphere
were proved to be scientific prophecies
of future discovery, was any thing buS
superficial. Indeed, his exact and
profound Investigations are as well
known in every observatory as hia
brilliant and popular writings on asa
tronomy are in every intelligenS houses
hold.
Prof. Proctor's wonderful suceesa'
with the public was mainly attrib-
utable to two things. his originality
and his adaptability. The man who
has found out something for himself
can nearly always tell it better than
he can who has received it at second
hand. Although the author of ''Other
Worlds Than Ours" said much in his
fascinating books and lectures that
had been said thousands of times bes
fore, it was all permeated and n1umi-
Aated by q fervor born Of the new
truth of which he himself went fortfa
as the first pssphet and apostle.
Add to this that he knew how to
adapt pure science to the commonest
things and the tritest themes. He
discoursed on those questions regard
ing the starry heavens which every
bright child asks its mother. he said
perhaps the only serious and sensible
things ever said about the sea serpent
And he taught the whist player thaA
the game: when studied as a science.
revealed the possibility of ''invincible
examinations" So wide was the range
and SO lucid the manner OF Prof
Proctor's adaptations of science that
It would be no exaggeration to apply
TO him Macaulay's famous words re-
earding Bacon: HE wrote On subjects
in which every body is interested in 3
style which every body understands.1
