An amusing story is told Of a French actor
who went into the country tofstudy a new
part. He was waiting at u lonely station and
thinking of his part when, qu to uncon-
sciously, he began to act it in dumb show.
French actors think more of the pantomiIDe
of play than we do, and the comedian,
while waiting for his train, had gone through
some of the principal scenes of the new piece
in this way, quite ignorant that his efforts
had been watched with the keenest interest
by an attentive rustic sitting on IA box in a
dark corner. Whom the actor suspended his
task the rustic rushed up to him quite eagerly,
asking in anxious tones: "And the lovers
monsieur, were they united, and was the vii.
lain discoveredr' "What do you neanp
inquired the actor. "Oh, monsieur told the
story beautifullyw But my good fellow
have not spoken word.' "Ahl monsieur
l could see it all by your movements, and
know monsieur from the photographs in the
shop windows. Cincinnati Enquirer.

Miss Braddon,s Noted Novel.

As a girl Miss Braddon was attracted both
to the profession of literature and the stage
She acted in several country theatres, and at
the same time wrote short stories and lite
rary sketches, her first little books seeing the
light through the press of provincial pub
Usher She had written many tri1es both
in the way of fiction and essay, before Lady
Audley.n The story of that story is a
romance in itself. Mr.. Maxwell had started,
in more or less of rivalry to Dickens first
periodical, magazine called Robin Good
fellow DIR. Mackay was its editor, and Las
cellus Wraxall was his second in command.
There had been some difficulty in regard to
the opening novel, in consequence of which
the new periodical was upon the eve of post
ponement, a serious contretemps in the face
of it's extensively advertised date of publica-
ton. The day before decision was neces-
sary Miss Braddon heard Of the difficulty and
offered to write the story.
'But even if you were strong enough to fill
the position" was the publishers reply,
''there is no timen
Glow long could you give mel" asked the
aspiring authoress.
"Until tomorrow morning."
"At what time tomorrow morning!n
'If the first iDstallment was on my break
fast table tomorrow morning." he replied,
indicating by his tone and manner the utter
impossibility of the thing, sit would be in
time.n
The next morning the publisher found upon
his breakfast table the opening chapters of
Lady Audley's Secret"
Robin Goodfelow did not hit the public.
1t did not live to finish Lady Audley"
Maxwell lost money over it; but he discov-
cred Miss Braddon, whose story took the
town in its three volume shape, and laid in
the foundation Of a lasting fame and pros

A Put and Call"

This is funny phrase to the unini'
tated, but all the brokers understand 1t.
They use it when person gives certain
per cent for the option of buying or
selling stock on a fixed day, at a price
stated on the day the option is given
1t is often serious operation TO the
dealer, but there is more serious "put
and call' than this: when you are put
to bed with severe cold and your
friends "call" physician. Avoid all
this by keeping in the house DR., Pierces
Golden Medical Discovery. The great
cure for pulmonary and blood diseases.
Its action is marvellous. 1t cures the
worst cough, whether acute, lingering, or
chronic. For Weak Lungs, Splitting of
Blood, Short Breath, Consumption,
Night-sweats, and kindred affections, it
surpasses all other medicines.

From the action of the meeting of the
chairmen of the republican county COM
mittees of the supreme court district at
Rochelle yesterday, at which Judge AID
ans represented Boss Wells, it will be
seen that the matter of selecting csndi-
date is to be taken into politics, the
action of the independent bar notwith-
standing, and that it was decided to issue
a call for a republican judicial conven-
ton, to nominate successor to Judge
Sheldon, to meet at Rochelle at noon on
Monday, April 80. The basis of repre-
sentation is the republican presidential
vote of 1884, with one delegate for every
400 votes and one for fractions of 200
votes. The superintendent makes a con.

A FAMINE IN GOLD.
Some Figures Regarding It's Past, Present
and Future Production.

Some Figures Regarding It's Past, Present
and Future Production.
Probably nine tenths of all the gold OBJ
tanned by man has been taken from placer
deposits, and our American experience has
been no exception to the general rule,n re-
marked an experienced mining operator in
speaking of the past and future of this valu-
able product the other evening Previous
TO lsi7 our total gold production amounted
TO Sl2,000,000, but between 1917 and 1887
| about 81, $50 100000 were contributed to
| our stock of gold. OF this, nearly three
fourths came from plecers deposits. In 1850
| 30 we obtained more than $50, 600, 900 per an
mum in gold from the placers of California,
and almost nothing from gold bearing veins.
| Now, with an annual production of $50, 00O,-
600 about one-half only is from plncers. Our
| own territory has been so thoroughly ex-
plored that no considerable superficial de-
posts of gold are likely to be discovered, and
nearly the same thing can be said of the en-
| tire world.
"In the northern extension of our western
mountain ranges in British Columbia and
Alaska there are probably important depos-
| its of gold. 1t is likely, however, to come
| from this region in moderate but perennial
| stream, and not in IA flood. Great difficulty
will attend the working of those mines on
account of the cold, long winters and the
difficulty in transporting supplies. Unless
the mines should prove richer than expected,
there may be dearth Of gold in the near
| future. In the Allegheny belt of mountains,
in this country, there are large deposits of
gold, but they are difficult to work. Still,
industry and perseverance, may make them
pay profit. Mexico may be expected to
turn out 81 ,000,000 a year, but no more. Tho
west coast of South America yields little but
silver
Colombia, Venezuela and Brazil have, on
the contrary, always been producers of gold.
1t is estimated that from Brazil alone more
than 81 O00,000,000 in gold were obtained
during the first 800 years after the advent of
the Portuguese. Colombia and Venezuela
are now yielding about 81, 900, 900 each annu-
| ally, and little more than that can be ex-
pected in the future.
Australia produces about S30,0O0,000 a
year, and we cannot hope for more than
$5,OOO,0OO annually from Asia. That will
cover it all. don't fear that you and l will
ever suffer from famine of gold, but unless
the North American deposits are richer than
is expected some one will suffer. Now York

Eat With Comfort and be Happy.

1t is by no means uncertain, but on the
contrary we'll ascertained fact, that upon
the well being of mans stomach depends
that modicum OF happiness which is youch-
safed to him in this world. Dyspepsia, the
foe of all others to the stomach's TRANQUIL
lity, and most TO be dreaded, is complaint
to the preliminary relief and eventual cure
of which Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is
specially adapted. 1t enables those who
use it with a reasonable degree of persist
ence TO eat with relish, because it imparts
heaithful appetite; to digest with ease,
because it strengthens the stomach; and to
assimilate the food which is eaten and di-
gested, thus benefiting, health, promoting
flesh and sustaining the exercise of the
physical and mental faculties 1t more
over facilitates the secretion of healthy
bile, actuates without discomfort the habit
of body, and tends, when taken upon retir-
ing, to produce healthy slumber. Malaria
is conquered by it.
