Elusive Gems.

Every trade has peculiarities about
it that are ineyplicable. A noticeable
instance of this is the strange man
ner in which diamond and other pre-
cious stones disappear when accidental
ly dropped while handling them.
at really seems, y said a jeweller to
reporter. THAT these valuable stones
have the power of motion. A dia-
mond dropped at one end of room
has been found in the dust at the fur
cher end of the apartment
ION another occasion I saw stone
that was dropped to the floor from a
loose setting. and, after hours of fruit
less search, this same stone was found
in the show window six feet from
where it fell.
"A friend of mine and customer
of his spent two hours in looking for a
diamond that flew from the tweezers
in witch it was held for inspection. and
when they had given up the search in
despair it was found nesting costly in
the thick black beard of the customer
.'Other precious stones seem to have
the same faculty of disappearing. A
short time ago dealer allowed fine
topaz to slip from his hand. The spot
on the floor where it fell, and in fact
every part of the Office, was thor
oughly searched. but the stone was
never recovered. - Chicago NecS.

Those who are not personally aceQuain-
ted with James Morgan, the democratic
nominee for Governor of Wisconsin,
have at least heard of him as the honest,
successful and popular Milwaukee mer-
chant. Born in Grief, Perthshire, Scot,
land, March 81, 1871, after receiving
good, common school education, young
Morgan served an apprenticeship to the
dry goods business in his native place,
subsequently being engaged for nearly
yea1 in Edinburgh and about three years
in Glasgow in the same business. In
1868, he came to America, and obtained
employment with dry goods house in
Peru, Ill. There he remained three
years, afterwards having charge of the
same firms branch store q period of
twelve months in Ottawa, Ill. Leaving
Ottawa, Mr.. Morgan went to Freeport,
ILL.,, where he became a member of the
dry goods firm of Best & Morgan. ln
1874, he seve red his business connection
III Freeport, and removed to Milwaukee,
where, after considerable uphill work
and much encouragement, he laid the
foundation of a business which to day
is second to none in the state, and which
is proof of what can be accomplished
by indomitable pluck, steady sperserv-
ance and answering honesty.
Mr.. Morgan invariably gives his per-
sonal attention to his bushes matters,
and the numerous people of all shades of
politics who call to congratulate him on
his nomination and certain election, fiud
him engaged among those many articles
with which he Is preparing to delight
thn 10 nrI HI
self, is empbatically one of the people,
and is the steadfast friend of al who
work. He has no political aspirations,
and that prabably is one reason Why his
nomination was SO persistentiy and u
CONTINUOUSLY urgent. There WIS never
known a clearer case of the Office seek
ing TIE man, not the man the Office.
Mr.. Morgan iuaugurated the plan Of
selling goods by sample, and as every
single article was found to be Just as it
was represented, his success IN his mail
order department has become something
unparalleled. And not only so, but his
we'll established integrity in this respect
has made his many country customers
regard him more in the light of friend,
than of a merchant.
Though not by any means a politician,
in the ordinary sense of the word, MIR.
Morgan has sound and strong ideas on
tariff reform, the rights of labor, and
hundred questions which affect the best
interests of the toiling masses. His
election will be a credit to our State, and
we shall have governor of whom We
may be justly proud, and who will most
certainly run the affairs of State on bust
ness principles and for the benefit of all
classes.

N1Otherly Dignity.

Ruth, lite, delicate. fair-haired
girl, had been told she could 90 into
the country with her mother next
Monday. She Immediately commenced
to get ready. She took her immense
rag doll, called Victoria Marguetta,
and with piece of stick she began to
play comb her hair, and in an authori-
tive tone, she said; Nov, Victoria
Marguetta, you can't go one step to
the fresh-air fund if you have dirt in
your head, for they would send you
right back, my lady. What do you
think of that?" Then shaking Victoria
Marquette until her head fairly Topped,
she exclaimed: "Now, none Of your

In a Tight Place.

Mr.. Reynolds of Croton Falls relates
a remarkable story. says the New Y ork
Telegram, of how two citizens of that
village once narrowly escaped death in
a fearful encounter with a black-racer
snake When Irving Purdy, the son
of merchant, now employed in the
office of the Harlem road at Croton
Falls, was about years old, he had a
companion in his sports named Robert
Swami, the village BARRIERS son, also
about s years.
These boys were in the habit of 60
ing to play along the banks of the
Croton river. One day, while under
the high banks of what is called the
West branch of the Croton, monster
shining blacksnake shot out from a
hole in the bluff, leaped to little Pur-
dy's shoulders and circled the boys
neck. Before he could scream the ser
pent was tightening its coil at the lads
throat.
But the little fellow did not lose his
wits. 1t was the snakes intention to
choke the lads mouth open and then
crawl down his throat. When little
Purdy saw the snakes head poised
menacingly few inches from his
mouth he attempted to seize the reptile
by the throat, but the snake kept its
head dancing about so that it was i'm
possible to grasp him. The swift
movements of the snakos head, its
wicked, dancing eyes and darting
tongue, were enough 60 brighten
dozen men, but the lad with great
effort kept erect Oo tumble over would
have been suffocation and death), and
managed to shout for his playmate,
Bobby Swami, who was playing on
the bank with a little toy sword that
had recently been given him.
He, too, was brave, and instead of
fleeing away, he ran to his playmate,
who was choking, and carefully put
the point of the little sword under the
folds of the big snake. SO tight was
the reptile coiled that the tin weapon
cut like razor, and the snake flew in
pieces, which fell WEIGHING and squirm-
inc over the ground as if ready for
more deviltry.
That ended the most remarkable
snake fight on record in the county.
The boys did not faint away, but they
strung the pieces of the black "racer"

trophies. Blacksnakes usually travel
in pairs when they start out to paint
the country red, and the mate of the
garroter was on the watch near by
singing sort of Kissing song waiting
for the boy to choke and tumble over
that it might follow the other down
the boys throat.
Irving Purdy's mother says that
when her boy came home that after
noon and told her of his terrible adj
venture she found that the serpent had
left almost photograph of his dark
body on the boys neck. She washed
it with soap and soft warm water, but
could not remove the scaly black ring,
and it only disappeared weeks after
ward. when the skin wore away and
was replaced by new growth.

Underground Waters as Mineral
Formers.

The mode of formation, or as Button
said, the genesis of minerals is one of
the most interesting questions of their
history. But the problem could not
be approached unit! biologists had fur
nished precise data on The conditions
of their bearing. Satisfactory solu-
tons have recently been obtained in
the case of a certain number of min
eral species. Synthetic experiment,
placing itself in the circumstances that
seem to have presided at that forma-
ton, has suceeeued in reproducing
them, with their crystalline forms, and
all their essential characteristics. and
has thus completed the demonstration
of their origin. BY means of this
method of demonstration, we have
been able to ascertain that many min
erals are due to the action of subterra-
mean waters. From the most ancient

Small Western colleges often have
difficulties in their career. One college
in Indiana has had various trials. Its
entire faculty has been arrested and
convicted of malicious trespass, some
of its faculty have INDUCED in libel
cases, and now its furniture has been
seized by local creditors.
