FOLD TEST.

We now have the silver and gold which the ore may have contained, combined in the form of small but ton. The next step is to separate the silver from the gold. Clean the but ton well by rubbing it between two paper cards and then drop 1t into a glass test tube and add from 15 to 20 drops of nitric acid. Heat the same gently over the flame of the candle, until the acid boils and the silver is all desolved, moving the tube over the will be found in the form of brown ish-black powder which settlers in the bottom of the tube. Pour off the li- quid acid so as to leave the powder in the tube and add and pour off pure water to wash out all traces of silver. Then dry the powder in the test tube by gently heating it over the candle flame, gradually increasing the heat until the yellow color of the gold be- comes visible. In case the button obtained after the lead has been driven off, should not dissolve in the tube when heated, 1t shows that there Is more gold present than silver, and it will then be necessary to add a piece of silver, twice the size of the button, by melting them together, on a piece of charcoal with the oxidizing, or blue flame, of the blowpipe This com pletes the second or gold test.
 The learner will understand that the larger the quantity of ore he takes the larger will be his button of silver and gold. But it is advisable for hiAl in the beginning to operate with a small quantity of ore, as it requires more skill and experience to work with large quantities.
 The learner must not become dis couraged, should he fail to succeed in his first attempts, little patience and perseverance coupled with practice and determination on his part tc master the subject, will soon enable him to perform the operation success fully and with apparent ease.

 CERTAIN of the press that went short on politics during the last campaign, are very much exercised over a circu- lar sent out by Wanamaker & Brown, of Philadelphia, to the postmasters of the country, requesting the names of parties who would make suitable To- cal agents for their firm. Postmaster general John Wanamaker is a stock holder in the company doing business under the above name, and they asso- ciate the two facts together as evidence of presumption upon the part of the postmaster general to advance his business interests through the prom thence he derives from his official con- nection. The Wanamaker & Brown company has but followed its usual practice in this matter and for years 1t has done the same thing. But people have different ways of looking at the same thing and there are doubtless human freaks who will assert that a proper delieaey on the part of the post
 master general would suggest the ab solute retirement of his house iron business or the withdrawal of hi name from use by the company. Bu
 there are several other Wanamaker, connected with that company ant surely the Cabinet officer is not re sponsible for their private commercial
 methods of extending their trade. Post master general John Wanamaker i

An Incidental Opininn.

 IN the decision of the United States Supreme Court in the case of the Uni ted States vs. Gon-Shay-ee, in speak ing of the dual functions of courts in the Territories where they discharge the duties of United States courts and also of Territorial courts, Justice Mil Ter, in delivering the opinion, said:
 "It may be safely assumed that the practice of the Territorial courts, from their first organization, has been to ob- serve this separation of their func- tions. The payment of the Court, and certain expenses thereof, while sitting, as it declares in the chapter above quoted (Sec. 1910, R. s. Ariz.) to administer the laws of the United States, with the same jurisdiction as Is vested in the Circuit and District Courts of the United States, is made by the Federal Government on ac- counts kept and rendered by its off cers while the same Courts, when held within the different counties of the Territories to administer the Ter ritorial laws, whether criminal or civil, are paid by the county, or in some other mode prescribed by the Legisla- ture of the Territory"
 
 In commenting upon the above the Phenix Herald says;
 "Of course, this is merely incidental language in the opinion on the case above noted, but is of more value to the Territorial judiciary on that ac count than though the matter of the remuneration of the Territorial judic iary had been the cause under con sideration."
 The casu al reader is left to in fer from this that the right of thu judiciary to reach into the count, treasury and take additional compen sation there.rom for their service without authority of law, is recog nized by the Supreme Court of tn, United States. But such is not tn case, however, for the closing words o the above opinion says that for thei services as Territorial District Court they fare paid by the coanty, OR | SOME OTHER MODE PRESCRIBED BY I'll LEGISLATURE OF THE TERRITORY" Tn Legislature of the Territory has pre- scribed the mode and limit of thei compensation and that body has als prescribed that the supervisors of tn several counties shall allow no aC counts paid that are not authorized b law, or other words to that effect Tn above extract from the opinion of Jul tice Miller cannot be distorted into justification of the acts of these judge in demanding extra pay of the cour ties; but, on the contrary, it expressl states that they shall be paid in "som other mode prescribed by the Legisl ture of the Territory"

THE OKLAHOMA BOOMERS.

Soldiers and Settlers Have "a Row-The Latter

ST.. Louis The Republics special from
Wichita, on Tuesday, says the Oklahoma
boomers having fled to the woods upon
the appearance of Lieutenant Carson and
his body of soldiers, scouts were sent out
to hunt them down, but were instructed
not resort to violence. In what Is
known as Cruioh county, northeast OF
Oklahoma station, quite a large number
of boomers had gathered around
William Beck. Among the number were
his daughter, a relative, Samuel Andor-
son, and an old man named William
Adams. Their property had been de
stroyed in former raid, and they 9aer-
ised bitter animosity against the troops.
Their hiding place wac discovered
by an Indian scout and
reported 10 Lieutenant Carson, who sent
q detachment after them. As soon as
the boomers saw the troops coming they
made preparations TO stand their ground
and protect themselves. When sur
rounded and called upon TO sur
render they began paaeying and
made threats which eyasperated the sol

TWO THOUSAND YEARS OLD.
Some Remarkable Portraits That We're Recent
ly Discovered in Egypt
London Globe

An interesting collection OF antiauities
has lately been on exhibition in London.
consisting of the various objects brought
to light by NJ. Flinders petrIe during his
recent excavations in Eyypt on the site
OF the ancient Labyrinth described by
Herodotus.
The first thing that strikes the specta-
tor Is series of portraits Ga wood. so
perfect and fresh in appearance that it
is hard to believe that they had been
buried for nearly 1000 years; vet such is
the case, and the portraits represent
Romans inferred during the Ptolemiao
period.
IL is singular that the Romans in Egypt
should hsve adopted the mode of burial
Of the Egyptians; but the faces aud dress
of these portraits are undoubtedly Roman,
although they covered the heads of NAM
mics beautifully aud elegantly swathed in
the numerous linen bandages peculiar 10
Egyptian burials, but more Rrtisticaly
arranged than was common in the more
ancient mummies, for the crossings Of
the bandages form beautiful honeycomb
pattern of extraordinary symmetry, each
panel finished with a gilt band.

painted was bandsged in skilfully over
the head and thus relatives might have the
mournful pleasure of contemplating the
features OF the deceased whenever they
pleased; ana certainly uo artist, even Of
modern times, could have more faithfully
portrayed tho Individual than the portrait
painter of 1900 years ago.
They are evidently what are usually
called speaking likeResses. There is
one of an old man who might have been a
general, or one Of the Caesars, in his white
toga, every line and furrow of the face
carefully delineated; while several of the
ladies', particularly two young girls,
might be exhibited as likenesses Of pro-
| fCssional beauties of the present day.
The material employed for these durable
portraits was wax medium, which has
been employed with excellent effect in
modern. times, and might be used more
frequently with advantage.

The Danger of Gossiping in Street Car About
People You Don't Know

The Danger of GOssipng in Street Car About
People You Don't Know.
1t was in street car in Philadelphia
and q News man was listener. Three
ladies were engaged in conversation.
Their subject was church matters and
church people. Among The latter was the
wife of the pastor of one of the leading
congregations in the city. The ladies
said a good many things about her, some
flattering aud Others decidedly otherwise;
some things that were true and others
that she would not have been willing to
admit to be true. For nearly half an hour
the gossipers played their av0catiuns, and
as the interest arose, so did the pitch Of
their voices. At the time lady sat OPP
posite them in the car, and quietly watch
ed them. When one of the gossip5 re-
marked that she had never seen the pas
tors wife referred to and the others ex-
pressed desire to see her; the silent
watcher smhed. After while the car
reached the point where the lady wished
to alight. She arose, bat before starting
toward the door laid her hand on the
arm of one OF the three who we're en-
gagged in conversation, and with seif'
possessed smile, said
u dle6, you nave expressed uSslre 10
see me. Here / am. | have too keen a
sense of humLr to leave the car without
telling you that am the lady you have
been talking about. Now let me give you
! a little sensible advice. The next time
1 you are in a street car don't talk so loud
| ", for some one might hear you who
would not enjoy it as Hugely as / have
| Good afternoon"
The lady left the car, and the faces OF
the gossipers we're a picture of astonish
ment and discontinue. The other pas
sepgers smiled.
