The Discovery of Gold.

One of the anomalies of the gold
discovery was it's slowness in reach
ing Americans in California. 1t was
midsummer before the news was gen
orally credited in California and Ore
gon Then, when people became con-
vinced that the reports were true and
that fortunes could be made in a few
months in the Sacramento Valley,
there was a rush such as was never
before known in history. Of course
the California settlers had the great
advantage of proximity to the new
Ell Dorado. Next, perhaps, came
those in Honolulu. The Oregonians
obtained their news by way of the
Sandwich Islands and Fort Vancouv-
err These hardy pioneers had just
emerged from long struggle with
hunger, the wilderness and the In
dians. They were poor, and they saw
in the future only a vista of weary
work with small profits, as they had
no market for their produce Sud
denly the scattered settlements were
electrified by the news of the gold dis
covery. Those who took part in the

thirds of all those capable of bearing
arms swarmed over the Siskiyou
Mountains and came down to the
gold fields of the Sacramento. In
the mean time the news had spread to
the East, to Australia, and to South
America. From all quarters came
young men as eager for adventure as
for gold Not onein a thousand had
any practical knowledge of mining or
any plan of remaining in the country
after fortune had been made.
Eighty thousand Isl conservative es-
innate of the number of gold hunters
who fiocked to California in the first
twelve months that followed Marsh

my effort. Yes, it NAV besOme other

the truth of this fancy, Master Bor-

A missionary was preaching to an
American frontier audience on the
Prodigal Son. After he had described
the condition of the son in rags among
the swine, and had started him on his
return, as he began to speak of the
father coming to meet him and order
ing the fatted calf to be killed in honor
of the prodigaPs return, he noticed a
cowboy looking interested, and he de-
termined to make a personal appeal.
Looking directly at his hearer the
preacher said: 'My friend, what would
you have done if you had had a son re-
turning home in such plight9" 'Td
have shot the boy and raised the
calf" was the prompt reply.-San

holder and pour in sufficient water to
half cover the jars. Cover the boiler
tightly and boil continuously for

there is sufficient water to make a full
volume of steam. When donel lift out
the jars and screw down the covers as
tightly as possible; stand aside to
cool. When cold screw again and

CANNED TOMATOES (whole) e).-Select
small, smooth, sound tomatoes.
Pack them without pealing into wide
mouthed jars, fill the jars with cold
water and finish precisely the same as

Small fruits should becoo' d slowly
forty minutes; large fruits until you

blers, and thereby prevent disturbing
a larger quantity than is needed.
Large fruits should be thrown into

The Common Sense of the Court.

One of the Oldest and best practition-
ers at the Erie county bar was arguing
a motion at neighboring county seat,
and was depending more upon his own
sound logic than upon authorities for
success. At a critical juncture the
Judge interrupted the speaker with this
inquiry, ''Yes, understand, but where
are your authorities upon the subjectT'
eff your honor please" retorted he
briskly, II will explain the absence of
authorities, with your permission, by
telling a little story: A young man
freshly admitted to practice had pro-
duced in court in support of a motion
a wealth of authorities. After allow
ing the young man to read page upon
page of dry decisions the judge at
length interrupted YEARLY: You are
just beginning in practice, said he; let
me give you some advice 1t does very
well to cite authorities once in while,
but you must always trust somewhat
to the common sense of the court.
1t was bold, almost audacious, posi-
ton to take, but it won his case.-
