Bunco In the Long Ago.

Hon. William Gould, of Windham, in
a letter to The Porthnd Press, gives an
account Of Ransom, who in the first
years Of the present century came to
Portland and pretended to be able to
transn ute metals. From lead found on
a small island near Freeport he obtained
SILVER. He had his crucibles and other
apparatus m shop on Exchange street.
Several reputable citizens were deceived
and feeced. 1t was finally proposed that
he be watched, and hole was bored
over his private room. Il was found that
he rolled up q pistaTeen, cln worth
twenty cents, and inserted 1t in the end
of the wand with which he stirred the
molten contents of his crucible.
1t had been noticed As . curious fact
that the ingot he found IN his orucible
was invariably of the vafne of fifth Of
a dollar One Of the Ingredients on
which he relied was May dew, and he o.
fered high price for its collection
Country people brought IN such large
quantities of this dew that he was at first
appalled, But he got out of 1t by testing
the dew and asserting that the sun bad
shone on some part Of It and spoiled the
whole. The water it bad cost such labor
to gather was poured into the gutter.
He was brought to trial and strong ef-
forts were made to have him exhibited IN
the pillory, but he escaped punishment.

Misleading Statistics.

Too implicit g trust should not be
placed IN extraordinarily low death
rates. says . London aatistician. 1t Is
frequently stated that the death rate
of some particular place is but eight,
ten or twelve per thousand iuhsbitants.
A moments consideration viii show that
such figures are fHlisci0us. for death
rate of ten per thousand means either
that every child born reaches the age OF
100, or that the average age 0 Ali who
die is 100. 1t Is certsin that there Is no
community IN which every child that
comes into the world viii pass safely
through the many dangers that beset
childhood. and therefore death rate Of
ten per thousand must mean that every
adult who dies Is considerably over 100

CURING BOW LEGS.
Treatment Which Effects a Cure Al
most without Fail.

A Treatment Which Effects a Cure Al
most without Fail.
The Home Maker tells an incident of
Mrs. Bassett who had twins, three
year-old boys, but who were bow-legged.
She consulted doctor, and asked if
she must put their legs in irons.
"Ironsl" shouted the doctor "Fid-
dle-sticksl Take off their shoes and
stockings. Their muscles have proba-
bly, been cramped and weakened al
ready, and irons will only increase the
trouble. OFF with their shoes"
Another suggestion of the doctor was
to let the boys walk up hill, and when
they could not be out of doors, to have
an inclined plane arranged in the house
for them to practice on. In the effort
to walk up steep incline one naturally
throws the feet outward. After some
months treatment of this sort the boys
legs Strengthened and their muscles
grew strong. Ii was learned by the So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children that a baby-girl just beginning
to walk was toddling around in her lit
tie bare feet and committee visited
the mother.
''But does your baby actually go bare
foot, tOO?" asked one of the visitors.
"Yes. She has never worn a shoe in
her life. When she goes out for an air
ing she wears warm wooden socks, for
until she can walk she can not, of
course, take sufficient exercise to keep
her feet warm. But in the house she is
barefooted as the boys. She is just be-
ginning to get on her feet, and her lit
tie bare toes are almost as useful to her
as fingers. They have saved her many
q fall"
One of the members of the committee
was the wife of shoe dealer, she sat
aghast. But do you never intend to
have your children wear shoes?" she
asked.
''Oh, yes, when | feel quite sure that
the muscles of their feet and ankles are
strong enough to endure them, but the
moment they begin to indulge in that
hateful abomination of toeing in, off
they come again until the difficulty is
remedied."
The society decided not to interfere,
and the campaign against bow-legged-
ness continues Budget.

An Intelligent Florida Mule

Jupiter can boast of the most intelli-
gent mule on record His muleship is
free, white gray end twenty-one years
old. Every night this much admired
animal proceeds to the Life-Saving sta
ton. 1t is customary for the man on
watch to discharge his coston signal Ia
red light when vessels come too near
the beach. Now his muleship has
caught on to what this signal means.
So every night at eight o'clock the
sailors four-legged friend proceeds to
walk the beach, and If vessel comes
too near the shore his muleship as
sumes the attitude of stubborn bull,
when trying to be led by the horns, but
instead of a coston signal he sends
forth neigh that makes night hideous.
Port or starboard your helm" is the
order on the ship, and away sails the
jolly tars in perfect safety, and with a
grateful heart to the tour-legged patrol
man.-Florida Times-Union.

MExICO'S CATHEDRAL.
The Enormous Riches Of an Ancient Piac
of Worship.

The Enormous Riches Of an Ancient Place
of Worship.
The interior of the grand cathedral in
the City of Mexico is, even at the pres
ent day, after having been SUCCESSFULLY
plundered, most magnificent 1t con-
tains five naves, six affairs and fourteen
chapels. which contain the bones of some
of the Viceroys and departed great men
of Mexico. The "Glory of the Capola, ="
Virgin and revered saints were painted
by celebrated artists. A balustrade
surrounds the choir of metal so rich
that an offer to replace it with one of
equal weight IN solid silver was refused.
This weighs twenty-six tons, and came
from China in the old days of Spanish
dominion, when the richly-freighted
ealleons of Spain sent their cargoes
overland from Acaputo to Vera Cruz on
the way to the mother country.
The high altar was formerly the rich
est in the world, and yet retains much
of its original glory. 1t contained can
dlesticks of gold so heavy that single
one was more than a man could lift,
chalices. cruets and pyxes of gold in
crusted with precious metal, studded
with emeralds, amethysts, rubies and
sapphires.
The statue of the assumption (now
missingl was of gold, ornamented with
diamonds, and is said to have cost ST.
600, 600. There was a golden lamp
valued at $40. 900, which it cost at one
time s., 900 to clean. but according to a
French writer-and the joke is his-the
liberal troops cleaned it for nothing, and
il has not been seen since.-N. Y.
