Turning Out to the Left.

There is a new fashion in park driving
which will cause trouble if it is persisted
in. A large number of coach and saddle
horses have been imported from England
within a few years. Many of the i'm
ported horses are kept in New York and
are now driven by their owners in the
daily park parades. The young men
who have not English born horses trv
to get their own horses up in imitation
of them, with clipped names, banged
tails, and English harness. Young men
who drive dog carts take especial pride
in having their horses, carts and men as
English as importation or imitation can
make them.
Some bright young man has discovered
the way to tell the real English article
from the imitation, and other young
men are taking advantage of his discov-
cry as fast as they learn it. though the
knowledge has not become general yet.
Horses have habits as much as men. A
horse that has been used to doing things
in certain way in his youth wants tc
pursue it when he grows up. In Eng.
land drivers turn to the left in passing
instead of to the right, as in this coun
try. As an American bred horse in
stincti7ely turns to the right an English
horse turns to the left. Some young
man noticed this and told lis friends. Il
is now the correct thing for young MAJ
with an English horse in driving to pass
his friends on the left.
When other young men who haven't
English horses learn this they may try
to turn their horses to the left, too. Il
will not be easy, for many American
horses will resent being forced to adopt
English customs. It will not be o safe
thing to attempt unless there is an I'M
derstanding between both drivers. Ii
you SEQ two young men struggling to
pass on the left when their horses want
to go on the right, you may know that
they are not ignorant of the law Of the
road, but that they want to be as fash
ionable as other young men with real
English horses.-New York Sun.

In the Black Country.

Zone woman at work in shop behind
clean and tidy cottage had been max
ing nails for thirty years. She got I'D.
for making 1000 nails, and by working
long hours she could make Sd. day net"
One little shop, from ten to twelve feet
square, was in full swing, where were
four young women "hard at it," and if
they could keep it up for six days at fif-
teen hours a day their gross earnings
would amount to the surprising sum of
Is. Sd. each. But the clear earnings of
these young women-skillful, persistent,
unwearying workers; their arms thin,
but hardened by unceasing toll; their
chests fat, their faces paid, and their
palms and fingers case hardened by bel
lows, hammer, oliver and rDd-will run
to 6s. sd. per week when in full work. :"
The ''oliver," it should be explained, is q
spring tilt hammer operated by the foot
of the worker and discharging the duty
of mechanical striker; it's weight varies
from ten pounds to thirty pounds.
1t is very striking sight to see a
clever girl at her work making cone
or ''countersunk" nails, or "pipe" nails,
"spoon heads" and "gutter spikes" Her
left hand holds the rod, which is red hot
at one end, out of which the nail is
fashioned; with her right hand she
Yields her forming hammer, and with
her left leg she works the oliver, while
her eager face is all the time bowed to
the anvil. except when, Strengthening
herself up, she turns from the anvil to
the bellows to blow up the fire. But
when these girls are aged or about to be-
come mothers the sight is still more
striking, and makes one wish that one
had never seen it or heard of it, it is SO
pitiful and sad, not to say unkind and
unnatural. 1t would seem to be next to
impossible in the present state of things
to do anything in the way of regulating
the hours of labor, for the nailmaker's
shop is his house, and his house is his
castle. But for the fact that the nail
makers sanitary surroundings should be
SO shocking there is no excuse.-The
Saturday Review.

A Cheerful California .1ail.

When the Jail was turned over to
Sheriff Jennings day before yesterday
there were nine persons, mostly tramps,
in it. When the prisoners were fed yes
terday morning there were ten. During
the day there were nine and later in the
afternoon there were ten. Investigation
was made The tenth man was discov-
cred to be tramp, who climbed into the
Jail at meal times and went out again
after getting full stomach. This, con-
nected with the fact that a man incarce-
rated for being a common drunk broke
his leg trying to get back into Jail after
having climbed out to get on spree,
and the fact that a man in Jail for beat
ing his wife having had a quarrel with a
fellow prisoner, climbed out and went a
mile to the sheriff's house at the dead of
night to tell the sheriff that the other
fellow had punched him in the stomach,
will make our Jail famous.-Santa Cruz

A New Kind of Fuel.

1t has been demonstrated in Vaca Val
ley that peach stones will make as good
a fire for household purposes as the best
kind of coal in the market. The fruit
growers, instead of as heretofore throw
ing the pits away, dispose of the stones
at the present time at the rate of S6 a
ton. A sack of the stones will weigh
about eighty pounds and will last as long
as an equal number of pounds of coal
and give greater intensity of heat. At
many of the orchards in the valley NAV
be seen great stacks of peach and apricot
stones which will eventually find their
way to San Francisco and other places to
be sold for fuel. The apricot stones do
not burn as readily as the peach, and will
not command as good aprice. The fruit
raisers will undoubtedly be pleased to
learn that they now have another source
of revenue open to them. A large num-
Der of peaches are dried during the sum-
mer. season for shipment. AS soon as the
owners find that they have market for
the stones greater number of pounds
will be dried than heretofore Vallejo

WHAT CAUSES MIRTH?
Sydney Smiths Answer to This Query, with
Some Clear Illustrations.

Sydney Smiths Answer to This Query, with
Some Clear Illustrations.
Sydney Smith gave the true answer
when he said that the form of mental
pleasure we call mirth was due to the dis
oovery of congruity in seeming incon-
gruity or the reverse. This is best illus
trated by an example. Boileau had a
brother who was mauvais sujet, failed
in life and came to ask for help. Boileau
upbraided him with his misconduct,
pointed out how they had both started in
life under equally favorable conditions
and with equal chances, and yet how DIFF
ferently they had got dn. Ah! but just
think" exclaimed the brother, what an
immense advantage you had over me in
brothersl"
The discovery Of the point, the seeing
of the joke is, says Sydney Smith, analo-
gous to the pleasant mental feeling in
discovering something quite new. or in
suddenly understanding something dark
to US before. This sensation is always
pleasant, but in joke the discovery,
since it is carefully prepared for, is mo.
mentary, unexpected, and without toll,
and therefore far more highly pleasure
BILE than the ordinary mental discovery.
To take another example, that of the
wooden pavement before st. Paul's: IF
the dean and chapter would only lay
their heads together the thing would be
done" said Sydney Smith. Here very
clearly the fun is in the pleasure occa-
stoned by the instant mental discovery
of the connection, Notwithstanding the
apparent complete incongruity between
the heads Of the dean and chapter and
the wood pavement.
Now, the slower a mind works the
more difficulty it has in quickly follow
ing out the congruity through the APP
parent incongruities, or the incongruity
through the apparent congruities, and so
in seeing the joke. Men with slow
minds, then, prefer the plainest form of
discovery, such as the mere noticing
that something out of the ordinary is
going on, as when a man clowns it by
putting on an enormous hat, a carroty
wig and sea green coat. Thus, all
stupid and dull witted people are most
easily amused by caricature and horse
pldy3 anu IIlOS0 WHICH,, IDOug0
they are powerful, are also sluggish, find
it too hard work to follow mentally the
lightning fash in a finely wrought YER
bal epigram.
No doubt such theory as this postu-
lates that the man who likes Lamb and
Sydney Smith, but says he sees no joke
at all in buffoonery, really means that
he only sees a very little joke, and that
he does not care for it because he can see
so much more in other things. This,
however, agrees with common expert
ence. The man fond of the highest kind
of wit is never really unable to see the
fun of the clown, though it may bore
him by its smallness, and if he is scien-
tifically minded he no moro refuses to
call it kind of wit, humor or fun than
he does to call vim ordinaire wine, though
as matter of fact, what he really con.
siders wine is Lafitte. All the mirtl
causing agents are of one kind and differ
only in degree, though the degrees are
often intense. -London Spectator.

American Rush,

One has only to contemplate the mer
and their movements about one of the
larger hotels to understand just how fast
the American people are really living
The commercial men, especially, are liv.
ing on the lightning plan, and the rest
of us are not very far behind. The man
who travels extensively today rarely re.
ceives any communication except by
telegraph. He figures his days work by
the minutes, and estimates just what
every second is worth to him. Even the
hotel registers are illustrations of the
economy of time. The man from Chicago
writes it "Chi.," Philadelphia is ''Phil. p
Cleveland "Clev., Harrisburg III burg, "
Cincinnati "Cin.," and so on through the
entire list of American cities with the
exception of tire man from Boston, and
he invariably writes it Boston, Mass. "

distinction.-B Courier.

4 NEW PRocEss FOR SAVING
FINE GOLD.

II has been conceded by every miner
ot experience that the banks aud the bars
Of Snake river, and also of the Columbia
river, contain vast trcasurers OF fine gold,
which have been washed by the currents
Of these rivers for many miles, which
have been detached from lodges BY the
abrasion Of the water passing through
them and over them, and been deposited
upon tho banks and bars Of these
streams for hundreds Of milesj below
these parent veins. In some places the
sand and gravel is rich in these deposits,
60 much 80 that from ten to twenty
dollars per day could be taken out BY
means Of rockers audstoms, with water
and the use Of quick silver to save the
iine particles, which is termed float gold,
which is not of sufficient density to
prevent its floating with the current for
many miles, and will not find pcrman'
emit Judgement except where there Is
some bend in the streams or some
obstruction to prevent its flow BY swift
current. Proofs are ample to convince
the most skeptical miner that such is the
case, and as consequence it is reason,
able to infer that the banks and bars Of
these rivers contain thousands Of dollars
in value of this fine gold, that escapeth
notice Of tho ordinary miner, which
ought to be saved, and 30 into circulation
to enrich the country. Many methods
and devices have been planned to save
this gold with more or less success. But
none, as yet, have been SO successful al
to save all this fne gold, where water
has been used in the process Of saving.
It is now claimed that system Of dry
concentration Of this sand and fine gravel
il the best and most successful, and from
experiments made upon the sands and
gravel taken from tho banks Of tn,
Columbia, in the presence Of scores o
good miners, nearly all were convinced
Of the superiority Of this system. w
are encouraged. to hope that some o
these experiments may be made upo'
the deposits Of sand and gravel 10 thi
vicinity, which are known to contain fin
gold, and wo have the partial promis
that one Of theso Concentrations will b
brought here for exhibition at al
early day.
