A Magnetic separator,

Among the numerous magnetic sepa-
rators one of the most remarkable is
that for the extraction of iron from the
sea sand. 1t is stated that ordinary sea
sand contains from to Z per cent. of iron,
enough to give large excess over cost of
extraction. The machine consists of a
cylinder, whose surface is composed of
electromagnetic, revolving ON the inside
of an endless canvas belt. The sand is
fed to the belt, and a spray of water sepa-
rates the particles, the iron being re-
t;ained by the powerful electromagnetic
and carried off on the belt to Il recepta.
Gle at the other end, while the sand falls
into the trough below.-Exchange. I

A Cute Little JAP.

saw on the street little Jap toddling
along by the side of a stout old Jap,
whom took to be his father. The
youngster wore a tunic, or whatever it
should be called, of brilliant blue and
nickerbockers green as grass. But this
gayety did not extend beyond his clothes.
The weight Of ages seemed to rest upon
his infantile brow-he could not have
been more than years old-and it is
certain that his infantile legs had bent
beneath the burden. He was an object
of conscious pride on the part of his
father, of lively curiosity on the part of
people il the street, and was much more
foreign in appearance than any other
human creature that I have ever SEEM

describe figures with tho hand and arm
very slowly. The eye becomes fixed
upon the goblet, and the mind is inter

lack of mental and nerve poiso there is a
corresponding absence Of poise in the

An Ugly Habit.

wonder what saccharine or succulent

that so many persons cling so persistently
to those unlovely little instruments long
after they have performed the service for
which they were designed. On any ele-
vated railway train one is sure to see one
or two men with toothpicks protruding
from their lips, as if to advertise to the
world recent breakfast. Not all of
those who make this exhibition are i'll

lecture in vain why particularly private
portion of the toilet is thus thrust upon
public attention.-New York Star.

A resident clergyman, who has keen
relish for humor, tells of an incident in
the professional experience of clerical
friend. The clergyman referred to had
been engaged to perform the marriage
service, and the expectant bride and
groom were standing before him in the
church. The service had proceeded as
far as the question:
''Wilt thou take this woman to be thy
welded wifeY'
No response being made, the question
was repeated a little more cmphatically;
wilt thou take this woman to be thy
welded wife?"
"Eh Eh-ah-beg pardon. Were you
speaking to me, sir"
He was assured of the fact; and having
regained consciousness the twain were
quickly made one.-Portsmout Times.

Pennsylvania Stogies.

Their origin is worth recording. 1t
appears that in the old days tho drivers
of the Conestoga wagons, SO common
years ago on our national pike, used to
buy very cheap cigars. To meet this
demand a small cigar manufacturer in
Washington, Pa, whose name is lost to
fame, started in to mako cheap ''roll
up" for them at four for cent. These
became very popular with the drivers
and were at first called Concstoga cigars,
since, by usage, corrupted into ''stogies"
and "tobies." 1t is now estimated that
Pennsylvania and West Virginia pro-
duce about 200,0Oo,O00 stogies yearly,
probably all for homo consumption

.."':' 20 XIII English Badgers.
Practically, it is said, the only way to
kill tho English badgers is to stop their
"earths" in tho covers along the hillside
while they arc out on their midnight
foraging expeditions, and then hunt them
away with the hounds; for the badger is
one of the craftiest of animals. and often
outwits the dogs. He will not touch a
poisoned bait, and all old badger, it is
said, will ''throw" a hundred traps with
impunity. To dislodge the animals from
their retreats, if they once gain the earth,
is next to an impossibility. They are
most expert and rapid burrowers.-

FULL OF PERIL.
An AEonixlng Adventure In Gold Mine
Shaft That Scared Two Men.

An AEonixing Adventure In a Gold dine
Shaft That Scared Two Men.
About as tight place as ever got
into, said Comstock miner, was some
years ago at the old Empire shaft, Gold
Hill. MYSELF and another man were
down In the shaft for the purpose Ct
trimming 1t up, as the swelling ground
was squeezing the sides and 1t was q
good deal out Of shape.
Wc were not on cage, but simply on
a platform Of planks, with ropes going
up from the corners to the main cable,
which was of hemp. When we reached
tight place in the shaft we stopped and
trimmed out the guides, then went on
till another such place was reached.
Atone point, having given the signal
to lower, we went down some distance,
when we finally stuck. We reached for
tho bell rope to give the signal to stop,
but we found that it had wound round a
nail some distance above, and We could
not uso it. The engineer knew nothing
Of our trouble, and continued to lower
away. There was no station near, and
on all sides rose the smooth walls of tho
shaft, leaving us suspended over the
horrible chasm.
Down upon US came tho heavy cable.
We feared every moment that tho plat
form would turn over or would be press
cd through the tight place and drop from
under us. All we could do was to got
hold of the cable and keep the coils of it
under our feet as it came down. Should
the platform turn over or drop from un-
der us we might be able to save our lives
by hanging on to the cable.
We shouted up tho shaft till we were
hoarsc, but no one heard our cries, and
steadily down came tho cable, causing
us great trouble to keep on top Of its
coils. We felt that tho great weight
must soon start tho platform, when both
would most likely be hurled to the bot
tom of the shaft.
Finally, to our great relief, the cable
ceased to descend. For long time wo
waited in suspense, not knowing what
would be the next move of those above.
At last, however, wo heard the voice of
" man shouting down to US from the
nearest station above. We explained
our perilous position in few words,
and ut length the great cable began to
crawl slowly up tho shaft again. Still,
being afraid the platform would give
way, VIC were obliged to keep hold of
the rope and dance about on the coils as
they ll1lwound.
1t was a tedious business, and was all
the time the matter of tho toss of a cent
whether we got out alivo or went to the
bottom; but at last the platform tight
cned up under US and we began to as
cend. Our work was over then and we
felt safe. On arrival at the surface we
found that the engineer had concluded
that we wcro going too far, and halting
or stopping his engine had senta man
down to the station to find out if any
thing had gone wrong.
may have been in moro dangerous
places in the mines, but was never in a
place where tho danger lasted SO long,
and all the timo up to fever heat. 1t
was too long time for any mans hair
to stand on end.-New York World.
