A New Kind of Jewel,

Some years ago Edison, the electric wizard,
was convinced that platinum existed in
North Carolina. He sent William Earl Hid
den, an accomplished mineralogist, in search
of it. Professor Hidden little knew at the
time how full of results to him that pursuit
of platinum would be. lie could not find
the desired mineral, but he found something
far better. Being in Alexander county,
quiet part of the State, many miles from
railway, he was directed by Mr.. j. A. Steph-
enson to gem-bearing grounds, and, looking
little more narrowly, found some OF the gems.
He purchased some land, returned to Edison
and reported his vain quest of platinum,
then came back to North Carolina. lie went
to work to develop his mine Sinking a
shaft in simple way, he gradually made the
opening larger until specifically the mine
presented the aspect of stone quar-
ry. Out of this rude pit in the earth
were taken unnumbered gems-one hthcr-
to unknown. To this Mr.. J. Law
renee Smith, of ST. Louis, an eminent sclent-
ist, gave Hidden's name, and "IIddenite,"
the equivalent OF the diamond in value be-
came instantly the fashion. Its tender-iint-
ed green crystals, its intense hardness, and its
new beauties when cut were only some Of
its charms From that day of its discovery
to the present it has been helpless task to
supply the demand for it. Every Hiddenitc
found is already purchased long iu advance.
But, strange as is this flashing green mira
Gle of the earth, the place of its birth is still
stranger. The laborers who are working in
the mine handle their picks with the creates,
care. They are on the watch for pockets"
Possibly for an hour the digging goes on and
no "pocket"is struck. Presently the pick
goes into an opening. With tender fingers
the earth is partially removed, and finally the
miner feels with his hands every portion of
the walls of the opening. 1t may happen
that his search is in vain, but it is oftener the
case that bis fingers touch little crystals that
are SO imbedded in the sides of the pocket
that their points project outward. They are
carefully picked out. Perhaps all are beryls,
perhaps there are dozen kinds of gems,
or yet again it may be that there are only Hid
denites. Sometimes gems worth hundreds
of dollars are thus taken from one pocket

Mr.. Barretts Dignliled Sinker.

A good story istold of Lawrence Barrett's
earnestness under most amusing surround
ings. Edwin Booth met Robson and Crane
on Washington street, in Boston, and asked
them how the fishing was at Cohasset,
where they and Barrett lived dur
ing the summer. "There are plenty
of fish there" said Robson, shut they
seem to prefer tragic death. They won't bite
at comic hooks. Crane and can't get any
of them. but Lawrence Barrett sits alongside
us in the yacht and fairly hauls them ill.,
They seem to lie around and wait for him to
come" "Well," replied Booth, "Pma TRACE
dian myself; guess can get mess" And
with that they went down and tried the fish
ing, but caught not solitary fin. AS they
landed at the Cohassetpier Barrett drove by
in his splendid and stately turnout. "Any
fish ?" said he None" said Robson. "They
are all out there nosing around for Mr.. Bar
retrs dignifed sinker." "My God, Mr.. Rob
son, answered Mr.. Barrett, cant you ever
be serious about anything ?"

Dogs.

Here is a composition on Dogs" by a
pupil of Oakland School, Fallston. The lit
tie girls story is not only interesting, but as
her teacher assures US, perfectly true:
There are a great many kinds of dogs,
some of them are very useful. My brother
has large dog and II anything is lost the
dog will hunt for it till he finds it. One day
the children lost gold ring and the dog
hunted till he found it.
He is lame; when lie was pup, a wagon
ran over his fore leg
They can send him to the store with
basket, and note for the clerk, and he will
bring home what the clerk puts into the
basket When he does not want to go he
will hold up one leg and walk around making
out that his leg hurts him very much.
One day when he was sent after some fish
he took one and hid it behind tree. The
children saw him and told him til It he had
lost one, and sent him back; he went and
brought the fish.

Remarkable Presence of Mind.

fell.
Over and over he went until within twenty
five feet of the pavement, when he struck q
telegraph wire and managed to grasp it, first
with one hand and then with the other.
Hang on for your life, Patl" shouted his
felow-workmen, and the bystanders rushed
to the nearest dwelling for mattress.
Pat held on for few seconds, when sud.
denly, with cry of "Shtand from under |"
he dropped and lay senseless in the street.
Whisky was used, and Pat finally came to.
When asked why lie did not hold out
long he feebly replied:

Tower of Remembrance.

There is place called Hoddam Castle in
Scotland, and near it is tower called Re-
pentance. Many years ago well-known
writer named Sir Richard Steele was walking
in that neighborhood. He suddenly caught
sight Of little boy who was lying on the
ground reading. When Sir Richard came
near enough, he saw that the boy was study
ing the Bible, and thinking to find out how
much the boy understood of what he was
reading, he said, Can you tell me the way to
heaven, my boy?" Eyes sir" was the ready
answer "you must go by the way OF the
tower" And the boy was right, for repen-
lance is the only guide to heaven.
