Sick Room vagaries.

"It is curious to notice the moral effect
of illness upon people," said a prominent
physician the other day. "For instance
among my patients are preacher who
swears when he is sick and gambler
who prays. A successful and wei
known business man will not go to his
bed when illness attacks him because Of
morbid fear that he will never rise
from it again. A lady of not the prettiest
character has all her jewelry and fine
dresses laid on the foot of her bed, I sup
pose to keep her mind from terrifying
thoughts. A hundred other peculiari-
ties are developed, but the most remark
able one to me is that of professional
man who reads up in current literature
when he is really seriously i'll because he
hasn't time to do it when he's well. "

The query is, How did that plate reach

1t is hardly reasonable to say that the

Different Kinds OF Gold.

"Most people suppose" says an as
sayer, "that all gold is alike when re-
fined, but this is not the case. An ex-
perienced man can tell at glance from
what part of the world gold piece
comes, and in some cases from what part
of a particular gold district the metal
was obtained. The Australian gold, for
instance, is distinctly redder than the
California, and this difference in color is
always perceptible, even when the gold
is 1000 fine. Again, the gold obtained
from the placers is ycllower than that
which is taken directly from the quartz.
Why this should be the case is one of
the mysteries of metallurgy, for the
placer gold all comes from the veins.
The Ural gold is the reddest found any
where.
Few people know the real color Of
gold, as it is seldom seen unless heavily
alleged, which renders it redder than
when pure. The purest coins ever made
were the fifty dollar pieces that used to
be common in California. Their coin
age was abandoned for two reasons:
First, because the loss of abrasion was
so great, and, secondly, because the in
terror would be bored out and lead sub
stituted, the difference in weight being
too small to be readily noticed in so
large o piece. These octagonal coins
were the most valuable ever struck" -

A Talk with "a Bird Fancier.

hooking birds come from Texas chief
ly. Albany in that state is the head
quarters for them. One trapper there
sends me from so to 100 hooking birds
every week in crates. forward nearly
all of them to New York, exchanging
them for other stock. The system of ex-
change is carried on to a great extent in
the fancier's business. Most of the stock
that we get from boys is negotiated on
that plan; so many rabbits make squir-
rel, and so or.
do considerable trade in peacocks,
which customers who have country
places buy for ornamental purposes.
Farmers raise them in Maryland and
Virginia. Goldfish are propagated by
regular breeders in Maryland, Virginia
and Pennsylvania, who send them to me
in cans, but the fancy goldfish, with
double tails, are imported from Japan to
San Francisco and reshipped from that
city.
Those stuffed birds are pots. Their
owners bring them here for the purpose;
four legged beasts, too, of all sorts. A
squirrel is one of the most difficult ami.
mails to stuff successfully. Food is an
item in caring for such a menagerie as
this; it costs me nearly 1000 a year.

appreciation of mechanical achievements
seems not easy to reconcile with the fact
that four or five new China railways

Chou Diest on Point of Fox"

Fox blades were celebrated all through
the Sixteenth and Seventeenth centuries
for their excellent temper, and mention
of them is frequent in English drama
This is their history: There was GER
tain Julian del Rel, believed to be a
Morisco, who set up forge at Toledo in
the early part of the Sixteenth century
and became famous for the excellence Of
his sword blades, which were regarded
as the best of Toledo. That city had
for many ages previous been renowned
for sword making, it being supposed that
the Moors introduced the art, as they did
so many good things, from the east.
Julian del Refs mark was a little dog,
which came to be taken for fox, and
so the "fox blade" or simply ''fox" for
any good sword. See Henry "" act
w., scene a, "Thou diest on point of
fox" The brand came to be initiated in
other places, and there are Solingen
blades of comparatively modern manu-
facture which still bear the little dog of
Julian del Rei.-Notes and Queries.

She Didn't Propose to Him.

One of tho late matrimonial engage
ments is said to be the outcome of dar-
ing little piece of repartee on the part Of
the young woman, who has enjoyed the
reputation Of being not only a wit, but a
beauty and belle as well. Although
quite young, she was known to have de-
clined the honor of matrimonial alliance
with several of the best so called
Catches Of the season, and it began at
last to be rumored that her mind and
heart were set on one of her admirers
who had not, as yet, the temerity to
come to the point. However that may
be, the young man in question was her
partner in one of the Harvard assemblies
during last winter, and during the inter-
mission for supper was seated with her
in sequestered nook, "far from the
madding crowd"
Apropos of something that had been
said, he asked her laughingly if the re-
port were true that she had refused all
the eligible men in her set She blushed
wildly for moment, then suddenly
raised her head, looked him full in the
face and said pointedly, "Yes, it is true
present company accepted" 1t is,
perhaps, needless to state that they re-
manned in the "sequestered nook" dur
ing the rest of the german, and that the
young lady wore q sparkling solitaire on
her left hand within few days. Rumor
also has it that the above conversation
was overheard by one Of the discarded
suitors, who forthwith ''gave it away"

The grip is depopulating the Indian

seems, indeed, proportioned to the inno-
cence of its victims-a phenomenon
which might be explained on the theory
that epidemics prove specially fatal to
individuals of an unprepared race. A
native of the Allegheny highlands may
be almost killed by catarrh contracted
by a nights lodging in bedroom filled
with an atmosphere which the habitues
