A Chalk Mountain.

Last winter the discovery Of a huge
mountain of pure chalk in Union county,
Missouri. one mile from the Alexander
county line, three miles from the line OF
the Grand Tower and Carbondale rail-
road. and within three miles Of the Miss
issippi river, was announced; but until
the past few weeks the magnitude of the
find was not appreciated, inasmuch as the
work of development had not proceeded
to any extent. The mountain is about $50
feet high, and from borings thus far
made there does not appear to be any
limit to the chalky substance. The
mountain is the property of Jonathan
Peery, whose residence is at Mount
Veron ILL.,, and who is just now putting
the chalk on the cars at s. per ton. The
chalk is found by scratching away about
a foot Of the soil. when the pure white
substance is exposed in asolid mass, un-
allowed by any foreign elements, appar-
emily as pure as the driven snow. The
discovery is the more important from the
fact that it is said to be the only chalk
bank known in the United States, and
as it is convenient to the railroad end
to the Mississippi river, where it may be
ha died in barges, its value is not likely
to be ovcr-estimated. A company OF
capitalists in this city are investigating
the mine with view to purchasing tine
entire property.

Two Fools and Their Money.

The eccentricities of the late DR..
Henry Hitler and wife of Wilmington.
Mass, whose fad was magnificently
carved and luyuriously upholstered
burial Baskets, have been described in
the press already. The doctors funeral
took place a year ago, and the corpse
was carried to its last resting place in
silk-lined, gold-platod, deliberately
carved casket of solid mahogany.
Not satisfied with the ghostIy magnifi-
cencc of year ago the widow has
been at work on the construction of
new caskets. one for her husband, the
other for herself. Each casket is in
two parts, the basket proper and the
sarcophagus The material in all four
is solid mahogany, imported specially
from South America. The upholster-
ing inside is as elaborate as money
could make it. Corded silk of the
value of $40 a yard is the material used.
The lids are made Of separate panels,
highly polished, richly carved, and
fastened by solid gold hinges, with
knobs of solid gold for opening them.
The doctors new casket is fastened by
"A heavy brass door of Gothic design
having knob made of six pounds of
solid gold. On the panels are solid
gold tablets ascribed with the doctors
fayorite passage Of Scripture.
Mrs. Hitler has also made for herself
burial robe Of which II may he truly
said that it beggars description The
dressmaker completed it after four
months labor and an outlay of $50. 600.
The robe is made of white ottoman
silk, corded heavily. There is also a
wilderness of white silk lace running
in perpendicular panels and tucked
and gathered and Guted until it stands
out to distance of five inches.
The total outlay by Mrs, Hitler will
be not far short CT $500, 900. The
mausoleum will be of hammered gran

to have rays Of colored light enter :.

The College in q Corner of Fife.

When the scarlet gowns of the students in
winter are moving above these venerable
courts, and those narrow lanes with their
strong SAVIOR of the sea, then st. Andrews
looks it's best, looks most like itself, and pre-
sents that odd blending of a university town
with an east coast fishing village, which is in
fact it's essence, its dierentia, as the logicians
say. Where else can you find lecture rooms,
chapels, schools, within a few hundred yards
of narrow and perilous haven, a pier built
of huge rudely cut stones dragged from the
fallen cathedral, and the long rollers breaking
on vast desolate sands, strewn here and there
with the gaunt ribs and tmbers Of wrecks7
When you note that all this mingled land
scape is watched by the keep and the walls
of great prelate's castle, the scene Of feasts
and tortures, Of murders and martyrdoms,
the broken survival of an age when the
church leaned on the main secular arm, and
when cardinals were fighting men, then you
have, in brief, the historical magic Of St.
Andrews.-Andrew Lang in Harper's Maya.
