COLOR OF GOLD.
It Depends on the Location Where th
 Precious Metal Is Found.

It DsPsnda on the Location Whore the
 Precious Metal Is Found.
 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 g glance from what part of the world a 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 Californian, and this difference in color is always perceptible, even when the gold is one thousand fine.
 Again, the gold obtained from the placers is yellower than that which is taken directly from quartz. Why this should be the case is one of the mys- teries of metallurgy, for the placer gold all comes from the veins. The Ural gold is the reddest found anywhere.
 Few people know the real color of gold, as it is seldom seen unless heavily alloyed, 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 coinage was abandoned for two reasons; first, because the loss by abrasion was so great, and secondly, because the interior could bo bored out and lead substituted, the difference in weight being too small to be readily noticed in so large . piece. These octagon coins were the most valuable ever struck.

PEouLlAR EYES.

Curious AfilcfIon of an English GenEle-
 man Described by Himself.
 labor under the peculiar inconven> fence of having right eye of normal power and short-sighted left eye, says James Shaw, in Nature. The numerals on the face of a clock five-eighths of an inch high are visible to the right eye at tweve feet distant, but in order tosdis- cern them as clearly with my left eye require to bring that organ of vision as near to the figures as eight inches. On looking at my gold chain hanging on my breast in daylight and with both eyes, the chain, colored yellow and to- ward the left, is perceived by the right eye, while steely-blue chain, another, yet the same, is perceived about an inch to the right and little higher up. By artificial light the same phenomenon presents itself, but the difference of color is not so apparent; the yellow to the right Is only dinner. Again, when page of Nature is being read with the short-sighted eye there appears, about an inch to the left, part of the same col umn. small, and the black, under arti- f1cial light, like weak purple. The right hand side of this Ghost-like column is lost to the right eye, being commingled with the larger, darker letters seen by the short-sighted left, which cover 1t like the more recent writing oa palimp- sest. Middle life was reached before the discovery was made. These expe- riences must be gone through with in- tent, for objects generally being per ceived altogether with the right eye, all that the left seems good for is to supply Q little more light. The perception of the difference of color is as good with the one eye as with the other, and the short-sighted eye can read smaller type.
 As the inferior animals, so far as l know, have no habit of peeping or look ing with one eye shut and the other opened, it occurred to me that this abil- ity might be a limited one. I tried the experiment with school children, and to my surprise found that . few were quite unable to keep one eye shut and the other open at the same time, and Q few did it with an effort, making in all about fourth of the number Adults were likewise under similar limits, but to less extent. This may be the reason why the discovery of inequality of vision, as Sir John Herschel remarks, is often made late iR life. Indeed, he mentions an elderly perseA who made the unpleasant discovery that he was altogether blind of an eye.

Want to Return to Russia.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-Many Russian Jews are applying daily at the office of the Russian Consul General in this city, to be sent back to Russia. They are un- able to make living in the United States and want to get back to their homes and friends. The Russian Vice Consul, c. G. Petersen, said to-day that the talk about the people being expelled from Russia was all nonsense. "The Jews in Russia," he said, "are restricted provinces does famine exist. It is not the Hebrews who are suffering from famine but the great mass of the Rus sian peasantry." Mr. Petersen said the secret of the Jewish exodus was that they had an idea they would get money from the Hirseh fund. He said the Consulate had no money to send the Jews back to Russia.

 Iieved by the IuEerested People of Mill
 lertOn, N. Y.-They Go to Ask For Her
 Pareuts' Forgivenes.
 PoUGHKEEPsIE, N. Y., Feb. 1S.-Hugh Shepard and Miss Hattie Hay Hart, both of Winsted, Conn.,, alighted from a train at Millerton, Duchess county, last night, and in five minutes time the village was in an uproar.
 The couple were looking for a clergy man and acted as if they feared they might be overtaken before they found one. They inquired of half dozen per sons where a minister might be found and they were finally directed to the Rev. M. Wolff, pastor of the Baptist Church of the village. A goodly portion of the villagers had been attracted by the actions of the pair.
 After the ceremony had been performed the couple, now all smiles, went to Bar bour's Hotel, where they told their story to a group of eager listeners.
 It was a runaway match, but as this was already known to almost every man, woman and child in the village, details were anxiously asked for.
 Young Shepard, who was greatly aGi- tated, said that he had been courting Miss Hart for three years, but her relG- tives had prevented their marriage on many occasions. At length they con cluded to get married anyway and in their coming to Millerton and haste to find a clergyman told the rest.
 Miss Hart is beautiful youeg woman not more than IS years old. She was elegantly dressed and her superior station in life to that of her companion was ap- parent at a glance. She is said to belong to one of the best families of her town.
 The groom, in the morning made an embrassing discovery. He found that after paying the marriage fee of three dollars and his hotel bill, he had come to the end of his resources. His predica- ment, however, was short-lived.
 When it became known, he had no difficulty in borrowing all the money he needed to carry himself and bride back to Winsted for forgiveness. Quite d crowd saw the happy couple off at the railroad station.
 The residents have done scarcely any thing since then but talk of the romantic marriage, and they will not soon forget the beautiful runaway bride that created such a sensation in their village by in sisting upon marrying the man she loved.

. FREAKS OF HUMAN MATURE.

Some of Them Which PhyslcIans Have
 an Opportunity tO See.
 We doctors have a much better op- portunity than most people for studying human nature," said . Washington physician to . Washington Star reporter the other day. "Most patients do not consider it necessary to put on airs be. fore their medical attendants. Ono thing that has often struck me is the disregard which young folks generally have for the old. don't mean that they are not courteous to them, for courtesy to ones elders is 8 matter of ordinary education; but when it comes to really caring for them they are lacking as a rule.
 "One is shocked to read of the man ner in which savage tribes all over tho world leave the old people to die neg lected, even depriving them of shelter because they are no longer useful. Even in civilized countries the same thing is often done. Go to Savoy and you find that the aged and in firm are put out to beg on the public highways. It is commonly said that the love of the child for the parent is much less strong, even among the LAOSO POORAC6S OAL@h VAC 040 lection of the parent for the child. There is reason for this, which philos- ophers find in natural law. The love of the parent for the child is necessary to the perpetuation of the race, for which nature makes provision beyond all things else; but, on the other hand, there is no such reason of necessity for care taking on the part of the child in behalf of the parent.
 'So am not surprised to find in my practice ever so many instances where old people are neglected by their chill dren, who are apt to regard them as c burden, considering often that they would be very much better out of the world and way. Another thing even more remarkable that notice is that conjugal affection is very apt not to survive long illnesses. If the wife is an invalid the husband ofttimes becomes indifferent to her after awhile. Or, if the husband is sickly, the wife finds it burdensome. In either case the well partner to the matrimonial bargain be- comes, though unconsciously, resentful of the invalidism of the other, and in many cases seeks distractions outside oS

CHAPTER II.

With great punctuality Stanfeld pre- sented himself the next morning at his uncle's house in State street. The building had by no means a cheerful look as he rapped with the bright brass lsnocker on the white-painted door. It's blinds were tightly closed, and it seemed to arouse in an apathy of oblivion. But this was not his first ascent of that slim-railed stoop; he was prepared for the sallow, stooping butler, who pres ently admitted him withouta a word, but with an air of having expected him.
 Soon he was shown into a parlor so dark that he almost stumbled against a small but heavy mahogany table on which was friendships keepsake" |" in crimson-and-gold binding, and one or two enormous, grinning, rose-lipped conch shells. After D little while old Samuel made 1t lighter, and then Mir Van Doren came into the room.
 It is possible that the old man had never treated anyone more cordially in all his hard, austere life than he now treated Stanfeld
 "You did very fine thing, sir," he said; you saved my life beyond a doubt. Yes, grant 1t, you see, l grant ACs 1hSh 110 GuDDSu OuG uduu the other as though, in spite of grati- tude, he were washing away from them all material obligation of a remunera- tive kind, and, with his shrewd, beady eyes ambushed below their gray slants of shaggy eyebrow, he glanced round him at the threadbare carpets, the mir TOTS in their tarnished frames and the haircloth furniture whose edges here and there betrayed the tawny buck ram below them. But he doubtless de- scried none of these or other signs, all glaring enough to attest his own ava rice. He was very proba D ly refreshing his memory concerning the little "busi- ness-like offer" which he had resolved to make this handsome, stalwart young gentleman in the way of recognition and recompense. But Stanfeld had now made up his mind to speak, and prompt ly did so. He told Myndherst Van Doren who he was, and at length add ed: Not, sir, until I had been the means of your rescue did learn of our relationship. You did not ask me for my name, nor did your servant seek it of me this morning. But since have already made this name known to you in my efforts to gain your kindly notice l feel sure that Alfred Stanfield' will not strike so very unfamiliarly on your ears"
 As he finished speaking the young man placed a card, which bore his present address, on the shell-adorned table near which he sat. He did not proffer it te

SIX INJURED.
A D.. L. q W. Train Runs Into Newar
 Street Car

NEWARK, N. Y., Feb. l8.--A train from Bloomfield on the Delaware, Lack awana & Western railroad ran into a street car of the Broad street line at 1l:25 last night.
 The accident occurred at crossing. The gates were lowered just as the car was passing under them and it was thus pinned. The railroad train was running on down grade and though the engineer made an effort to stop, he was unsuccess- full and his train crashed into the car.
 There were thirteen passengers aboard the horse car and of this number six were badly injured. Theirnames are: J. Gull linghan, driver, seriously; Prank Gould, F. w. Matthews, George w. Jeroloman, Earnest Hirsch and Annie Barkley.

4 TALE OF TWO MISERS
By Edgar Fawcett.
lcoPYR1aHr. lsol.l

Don't want any rewardI' thought the hero of the hour, as he rememb bered his own and Martha's dwindling purse ''What would they say if they knew he was my mothers brother? l wonder what he will say when he hears. And he never even asked me my name We'll, well, we shall see tomorrow what we shall see."
 When he reached home and began his story to Martha, she broke into little cries of horror and alarm. Before he had finished she was at his feet, kissing his hand and gazing up with wild wist- fulness into his face.
 And you're not the least bit in jured?" she at length exclaimed. "Oh, you noble, glorious Alfredl But I'm an gry at you," she broke of, rising; ''you should never have put your life into such awful peril-never!"
 While she wept and trembled at the deed he had done, Stanfeld threw his arms about her and kissed each ivory lid of her sweet gray eyes, each dimple at the corners of her arched pink lips.
 Think, Martha" he said, think what may come of itl There he was, my actual uncle Myndherst, and never dreamed of such a thingi Miser or no miser, he'll be forced to help us now. Not that want his money. Oh, no, it isn that. But by lifting finger he can get me something to do. There's the joyful part of it; there's where the very hand of Providence itself seems to have been stretched forth in our behalf yours and mine!"
 "Oh, it does look as though our trou- bles were over," said Martha, wiping her eyes. But then, Alfred, to think of your doing so awfully reckless a thingl Promise me you'll never think of risking your dear life like that again not even to get millions and mil ions."
 'I won't," he laughed, once more kissing her. ''Tu draw the line as re- gards my future deed of valor precisely at one million"

HUDSON STILL FASTING.
The Aged Bostonian iS Now Reduced to
 More Skeleton.

More Skeleton.
 BOSTON, Feb. 18.-Charles Hudson, aged 63, who lives with his son-in-law, George Richardson, at 24 Trem ont street, in this city, was taken with grip on January 1.
 In ten days he recovered, but expressed sorrow at not having died, and soon after he began to starve himself. For forty one days not a mouthful of food has passed his lips, and his only subsistence has been water and ice. He refuses to take medicine as we'll as food.
 A day or two ago some nourishment was given him in water, but he discov- cred the trick and refused to swallow the dose.
 From comparatively strong and healthy man of his years, Mr. Hudson has become reduced to a mere skeleton. The case is exciting widespread attention.
