CuriOsities About Gold.

Gold is so very tenacious that a
piece of it drawn into q wire one
twentieth of an inch in diameter
will sustain a weight Of 500 pounds
without breaking.
Its malleabilities is so great
that a single grain may be divided
into 1000, 600 parts and a cubic inch
into e,523,SO9,5 53 parts, each
of which may be distinctly seen
by the naked eye. A grain and
a half of gold may be beaten into
leaves of one inch square, which
ifintersected by parallel lines drawn
at right angles to each other and dis
lance only one hundredth part of an
inch, will produce 25, ZOO, 900 little
squares, each of which may be
distinctly seen without the aid
of a glass.
The surface of any given quanti-
ty of gold, according to the best au-
thoritles, may be extended by the
hammer SIC, 614 times. The thick
ness of the metal thus extended
appears to be no more than the
566, O2Oth part of an inch. Eight
ounces of this wonderful metal
would gid a silver wire of sufficient
length to extend entirely around
the globe.

A Young Girls Room.
From Barper's Bazaar.


A young girls room may be as
full of costly articles as wealth can
make it, or it may be the result Of
taste and ingenuity with but trifina
expense, but the one who looks in
upon it can, if choosing to take the
pains to do so, tell at onee the char
acter of the occupant by the mere
arrangement or disarrangement OF
the place. There is, Of course, the
pretty artistic ensemble that at first
glance seems to be only confusion,
but which presently resolves itself
into a harmony of form and tint,
any change in which would be dis
cord, which tells something inter-
esting concerning the artist in the
arranger. Then there is the precise
and prim manner, in which every
thing is at right angles; every book
is exactly in position ON every other
book; no folderols are allowed;
nothing that indicates a waste of
time or a love Of pleasure; and
everything that indicates methodi-
cal, u%tilitarian, and exacting traits,
with little love Of beauty, indicates
a character that will by-and-by pos
sibly make life a burden to every
one in the house. There is the con-
fusion, again, which is disorder,
where everything has been tossed
at random; there is no place for
anything, and nothing is in its
place, thus telling a lamentable tale
of its first cause. And then there is
the abode of n~eatness without IA
natieal and pragmatical effort for it,
Of order without primness, of grace
and spotlessness combined; a room
where a little of the artist is to be
seen, a little of the precision and
something of the perfect love of
order without its caricature.

The DEVILS Bull.Driver.

Mexico and other Central Amer
lean countries are a ffiioted with a
remarkable number of the scor-
pion family, locally known by the
names of "scruncher," "devil's
bull. driver" or "whip scorpion"
The scientific description of this
branch of poisonous insects states
that they have an elongated body,
divided into segments, the last six
of which are of equal size. The
tail is flexible and ends in a sting.
The chelicera, or fangs, are short,
and end in a pincher-like append.
age. The jaw appendages, or palpi,
are also finished like perfect for
cepts. Respiration is effected by
means of two pairs of pulmonary
sacs, which communicate with the
air through four openings. A curl
Gus thing to be noticed about the
whip scorpion is that the poison
Gus fangs above referred to take
the place OF harmless feelers o II
antenna, such as are found in
beetles, butterflies, moths, etc. A
cognate change is marked in
spiders, in which the antenne are
replaced with poisonous jaws.
The anterior pairs of legs of the
whip scorpion are also peculiar.
They are much thinner than the
others, and the feet are many-joint-
ed, SO as to be capable of being
used as flexible organs of touch
so, you see, this ugly-looking
beast has turned f~eelers into pois.
onous jaws and his feet into feel
ers. The "whip" of the whip
scorpion consists of a thin, vicious
looking tail, which, when angry,
the scorpion lashes about in a sur
prlsing manner.

A FOR WHEAT.
The VIM. Pollock Elevator Ready to
Receive Grain at q Small
C0st-COnditi0ns.

The VIM. Pollock Milling and
Elevator Co. are now prepared to
receive wheat in their new eleva-
tor for storage on the following con-
ditions : That the wheat be re-
ceived according to grade, and by
paying two cents per bushel for
the first month and three. quarters
of a cent for the second and for each
subsequent month as long as it re-
mains in store. These charges are
to cover insurance, shrinkage and
handlin the wheat and loading
cars, if sold for shipment. They
also receive wheat in store free of
charge and issue time tickets for
-four to parties for their own use
for the season, flour to be taken
out at any time desired to June
next, at their option. This SUBJ
ject has been agitated for the past
several years and now the farmers
of Audrain county and adjoining
counties have an opportunity to
hold their grain for higher prices at
a nominal cost. The charges are
lower than those of any ofthe large
elevators in the state. Come and
see them before you dispose Of
your grain.

His Wife's Pride.

From the Wilmington Morning News.
The wife Of an employed Of the
Pennsylvania railroad gave a very
amusing exhibition of family pride
in a dry goods store a few days ago.
Her husband is a very tall, thin
man; the chest measure of his cloth
ing is small, and when he buys I'M
derclothing he gets the smallest
sizes. His wife is a very large
woman. She had gone into a store
to purchase underclothing for her
husband, and while standing at the
counter examining the goods a little
bit OF a woman came in and, seeing
the goods being displayed, said:
"That is what | want; some un-
dersh,rts for my husband. No. 80,

Five Fast Sailing Vessels Bound on a
Race Around the Horn.
From the san Francisco Examiner.

from the san francisco Examiner.
Five vessels sailed out of San
Francisco Bay the other day and
started on a long race around Cape
Horn and up the Atlantic. At
their head was the queen Of sailing
ships, the American four-masted
Shenandoah, bound for Liverpool
with 5000 tons of wheat, the larg-
est cargo of the kind ever slowed in
a sailing vessel. She had been put
in fine trim especially for this trial
Of speed, but her commander, Cap
tain Murphy, was still a little anx-
ious at the start, as accidents ana
unforeseen incidents have much to
do in deciding a sailing race.
Her great rival is the British ship
Strathearn, Capt. Robb. She is 25
years old and was for years the won-
der Of the western waters. She
beat all the steam vessels on long
run until the ocean ..greyhounds
came in and overshadowed her phe-
nomenal time between New York
and Liverpool. The other three are
the American ships S. d. Carleton,
Capt. Amesbury, bound for Havre;
the British ship Balkamah, Capt.
Watts, also for Havre, and the
American ship M. P. Grace, Capt.
De Winter, for New York. All
went out on the highest tide, as the
Shenandoah draws twenty-seven
feet of water and could afford no
risks.
The Shenandoah and Strathearn
make sail by steam," as the nautr.
cal phrase is. They have donkey en-
gines to draw the sails into place
and, according to seamen, is one of
the loveliest sights in the world to
see all the white canvas swell in five
minutes from bare poles to full rig.
OF ours photographs were taken
as the fleet departed, and the entire
Pacific Coast waits with anxiety to
learn which vessel will first round
the Horn.

One of the most mysterious of all
the diseases to which humanity is
liable is the tumor, and one of
the most dreadful is that particular
form of tumor known as the cancer.
Concerningthese abnormal growths
there is still very much to be learn
ed by even the most accomplished
scientists, but careful and patient
research has brought to light a
very considerable amount of knowl-
edge which is of infinite value in
connection with their treatment.
A popular and practical paper on
"The Treatment OF Cancers and
other Tumors" has recently been
prepared by two eminent physi-
clans, Drs. B. Farquhar Curtis and
William T. Bull, and will be pub
lished in the November number of
Harper's Magazine. The object of
the paper is to make clear not only
what is known about tumors, but
what Is not known, and thus by
leading to an appreciation of the
difficulty of making our knowledge
OF them complete, emphasize the
importance of prompt intelligent
medical treatment.

Four Things Of Which Woman Is In.
capable.

capable.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.
There are three things, yea four,
Of which the average female is ut
terly incapable. Some cynical writ
er has said that no woman has yet
lived who could tie up a package,
sharpen a pencil or carry an umbrel-
la as it should be done. To these
should be added that no woman, or
at least precious few Of them, I'M
derstand how to alight from a car
correctly. This blessed ignorance
she shares in equal measure with
the Chinaman. No power on earth
seems capable of making either see
the necessity of always keeping the
body so that the face shall be to-
ward the front Of the car, and an
opportunity thus be afforded for
overcoming the momentum Of the
swiftly moving vehicle. The favor
lite method with the particular class
Of lgnoramuses referred to is to step
from the car with the back toward
its front. Unless some one be at
hand to catch her, the woman so
alighting is certain to shock the
neighborhood by taking a back
somersault, which, however pleasing
a maneuver when the person per-
forming it is dressed for the occa-
sion, is apt to be more Or less en-
barrassing under ordinary circum-
stances. Alighting sideways is
another favorite scheme of the aver
age female, which is almost as dis
astrous as the one just described.
1t invariably causes a mixing up of
the legs and a general demoraliza-
ton just degree less embarrassing
than the back-somersault method.
But no matter how many times a
woman may have come to grief from
this cause, she never learns any bet
ter, and probably never will while
the era OF the street car lasts.
