Finding the Gold.

II was dark, and down a retired street
IN Paris a man rode along on horse.

# frightened. Then a man rose from
the pavement in the middle of the street
and jumped to one side with a cry.
The rider was angry and exclaimed -

some matches they will do me more
good than your curses.
ut is no easy task to find lost none,
on a night like this. said the rider.
dismounting | have no matches, but
perhaps can help you. Have you any
Of the pieces left?'
Only one, replied the unfortunate
fellow with sob.
"Giye it to me said the other.
The poor man hesitated, but the
stranger repeated the words in a tone of
authority, and the last coin was handed
to him.
The stranger whistled and a great
Spanish mastiff stood beside him. He
held the coin TO the dogs nose, and
leaning to the rough pavement said
Find them. "
The dog shifted the guild pieces and
began the search.
One, two, three, he began bringing
the coins and dropping them into his
masters hand, while the poor servant
stood by in silent wonder.
Thirteen times he returned with il
twenty franc piece Then, after long
search, he came back empty, with a
grunt that seemed to say. There
are no more

the stranger Are you sure there
were three hundred francs?"

replied.
Then look in the bag again. There
must be one left there
The man looked, and sure enough
found the last coin there.

ger sprang into his saddle, you are

my master may know who has done
such service
II have done nothing, said the
stranger Tell your master that one
who helped you was an intelligent dog
named Joie
II was some years afterwards when
France had seen troubled times and the
royal family was no more, that the
master was telling the incident to a
party OF friends, one of whom had been
employed in the palace.

never was but one dog of that name,
and there never was Il more remarkable

"Who was his MASTER" they all
asked
The reply was brief
"The Emperor Napoleon"

Discoveries by Accident.

The composition of which printing
rollers are made was accidentally dis
covered by a salopian printer Not
being able to find the ''pelt ball, = he
linked the type with piece Of soft glue
which had fallen from the glue-pot. It
was such an excellent substitute that,
after mixing molasses with the glue, to
give the mass proper consistency, the
old pelt ball was entirely discarded
The augur with the twisted shank,
which makes it self discharging, is also
the result of an accidental discovery.
The real screw augur is an American
invention, dating back to the year 1774,
when John White and Benjamin
Brooke, Of Hammer Hollow, Valley
Forge, Pennsylvania, noticed some boys
boring holes in the ground with some
pieces Of hoop-iron One Of these
which had become twisted, was seen to
bring up the dirt each time its it made
a complete revolution Being men of
an observing turn of mind White and
Brooke began to debate the possibility
Of constructing a tool for boring wood
ON the same principle. 1t was imme-
diately tried with the addition Of a
screw point for drawing the cutting edge
into the wood. 1t is needless 20 add
that the experiment was eminently
successful.

Dean Swift and His Servant.

Dean Swift was travelling accompan-
led By his valet, and arriving in the
evening at an inn, they concluded to re-
main over night. In the morning the
dean asked for his boots, and was very
much surprised that his valet, Tom,
had not cleaned them
Tom, 2 he called Indignantly, why
are not my boots cleaned7'
All, sir, said Tom, as we are to
proceed on our journey immediately,
they would be muddy again very soon. =
'All right = said Swift, ago and sad

Tom went to obey the order, while
his master ate his breakfast, after hav-
ing told the innkeeper not to give his
valet anything to eat. The poor fellow
came in and told his master that the
horses were ready
We'll, answered Swift 'let us
start
But | have had no breakfast, said
Tom.
"Oh, that does not matter, for you
would soon be hungry again." said
Swift, and with this remark they sprang
into the saddles.
Once on the way, the dean allowed
the horse to go more slowly, took a
prayerbook out Of his pocket and began
to read A gentlemen who met them
and who knew Swift, but who did not
want to disturb him because he seemed

Boat Life in Siam.

The boat life of Siam includes almost
all life. Business and pleasure, hap
piness and health, all centre in the river
or its branches. A boat and a paddle
are almost as natural and indispensable
possessions to a Siamese rs his arms or
legs. He has no notion of travelling
any distance except by boat and the
idea of living in place inaccessible by
water generally strikes him as absurd.
Three weeks to come down stream
with a full cargo; week to dispose of
it and indulge in the gayeties of the
capital; four or five months to go back
with the emptied boat, and the rest OF
the year for farm work at home-such
is the routine for many Siamese
family which lives as contentedly and
placidly as the profoundest philosopher.

How OIL spiders Live.

Old spiders, which have neither web
nor the materials to make one, often
hunt about to find out the webs of other
spiders, younger and weaker thar
themselves, with whom they venture
battle. Theinvador generally succeeds,
and the younger spider is driven out to
make new web, and the old spider
remains in possession until a stronger
spider inyades the web and drives it out.
When thus dispossessed the spider
seldom ventures another attack, but
tries to subsist upon the few insects that
may fall accidentIy into its clutches,
and eventually dies Of starvation.

Just Indignation.

A director Of horse railroad line
was riding on the car when woman
near him was robbed of her bonnet by
a gust of wind Off jumped the woman
after her bonnet without waiting for
the car to stop, while the director sat
helpless and angry, with visions of a
suit for injuries from the relatives
of the bare headed woman dancing
through his head.
But back she came uuhurt, with the
rescued bennett on her head, and got
into the car, which had now stopped
for her.

The purport of the confession could not be

was as deeply interested in the killing of the
woman as he was himself Wood IS reported as
the murder, aud was present when the killing
occurred. Wood fully advised mis- attorneys of
the facts, and efforts viii now be made TO impli-

Thomas Wood, an cider brother of James
Wood, arrived from Minneapolis last Monday,
and has been working in the interest of his
brother ever since. Thomas says his brother
had informed him that there was q second party
