New York Sunday Journal: A circular
is received by the lady of the house
from an apparently respectable firm.
announcing some wonderful bargains in
household linen, huckaback and similar
goods. At the appointed time the rep
resentative appears-in one ease he
came in brougham. He produces sam
pies OF the linen, etc, and generally
succeeds in taking orders, the goods be-
ing of flrst-rate quality, and miracu-
lously cheap. lie then announces that
he has with him some lcngths OF dress
material Of novel make and astonishing
value. These he sells for cash on the
spot. Needless to say, tho dress ma
terial turns out to be worthless. and tht
other goods are never delivered.

"Simply this. Take greenback,

without delay Not so with gold. A
few days ago gentleman brought to our
bank upward of So, 900 in gold of differ
ent denominations and was much pro
yoked because we would not receive 1T
forthwith and give him credit for the
amount the faces OF the coin represent
ed. This we could not do because the
law requires that gold shall be redeemed
only at its actual value. Coins carried
in the pocket for any length of time
naturally lose something in weight by
abrasion, probably but fractional part
of a cent on $40 coin, but it is loss
nevertheless, and therefore bankers can
not give credit for gold deposits until
the coin shall have been weighed.
In the case in point my friend took
his gold to the Treasury Department
and was compelled to wait there for
nearly an hour before he could get notes
for it, Every coin had to be passed
through the scales, and after the
weighing process had been completed
three coins two IS pieces and one $40
piece were returned to him as short in
weight. Before returning short-weight
coins the department stamps on the face
of each a cross. The owner is left tc
either send the coins to the United
States mint for redemption or to again
put them in circulation. Eventually the
coins with crosses on their faces will &C
to the mint and be redeemed at theil
actual value. In many instances there
may be more thar several cents short

BURMESE WELL-DiGGERS.
The Manner of Sinking Oil Wells In
India.


The native method of digging oil
wells in Burmah is described in very
interesting manner by DR.. Nothing, OF
the Indian Geological Survey In the
first place, a square shaft is dug, the
sides measuring about four feet each.
Over this pit is placed Il crossboam, sup
ported on stanchions at either side, and
in the center of the beam q small
wooden drum or cylinder, which with
its axis is made of a single piece OF
wood.
A leather ropo running over this
drum is used to lower tho worlmen into
the pit, as we'll as the carthenware pot
in which the oil is brought up. The
walls Of the shaft arc lined with wood,
and timber is used to support them.
Tho workmcn arc lowered in an in
gcnious manner. Tho man sits on two
sings formed of strong rope running be-
tween his legs and lnotted over his left
shoulder. To prevent sliding, thin
rope runs down from the knot, across
tho breast, underneath | the right
shoulder to the back, where it is fast
ened to tho rope forming the sings. A
second rope for the samo purpose is
fastened round tho hips.
No light can be taken down the shaft
on account of the explosive gas; the
workman, therefore, ties up his eyes be-
foro going down, SO that he may sec
during tho short timo he is in the we'll.
Two hundred and ninety seconds is the
longest time any man, however strong,
can remain below without becoming un-
conscious. H
Tho workers object TO descending
moro than $50 fcot, and tho limit is $40
feet. Tho manner of drawing up the
oil is also very primitive. Tho rope is
fastened around tho neck of bell
shaped carthcnwaro pot, which is low
cred and filled by sinking in tho oil be

Opals from, American Mines.

The discovery of paying opal mines in
the new State of Washington near Mos
COW, Idaho, is one of the most impor-
tant events connected with gem min
ing in the United States. While dur
ing the last half century nearly all the
known varieties of precious and semi
precious stones have been found in this
country, says the jewelers. Weekly,
none of the more valuable kinds have
been discovered in paying quantities.
The Washington opal mines appear to
contain treasure In large quantities,
and 1T is likely that mining these gems
will prove, within reasonable limits, a
profitable enterprise. The quality of
the stones is said by those who have
examined them to be good, and it is
likely that American opals will in the
near future be important features Of the
stocks of the leading jewellers Of the
country.
