How Gold L, sl,inpcd.

Shipments of gold from New York
to Europe arc ordinarily made in
very strong hardwood kegs. each lleg
containing $4,000. At the end of
the keg, four holes are bored through
the projecting ends of the staves, and
through these holes pieces of red tape
are drawn, meeting in the center,
where a large wax seal is applied,
bearing the stamp of the house which
makes the shipment. A material
cause of loss in this handling Of
specie is the rubbing of the coin or
bars one upon another; and for this
reason $40 gold pieces are preferred
to $40 or S. pieces, the surface ex.
posed to abrasion being less. Zach
keg contains ten canvas bags, and in
each bag is $1,000. In the United
States Assay Office the rubbing of
the gold bars upon each other is pre-
vented by packing them in saw.dust.

In the matter of dress. one canno
offend against good taste ii only those
tints are chosen of whicha Il duplicate
may bc found in the hair, the eyes or
the complexion. A woman with blue
gray eyes and a thin neutral-tinted
complexion is never more bccomingly
dressed than i'm the blue shades i'm
which gray is mixed, for in these
compilations there is a certain deli
cate blucness. A brunette is never
so exquisite as i'm cream color, for she
has reproduced the tinting of her
skin in her dress. Put the same dress
on IL colorless Blonde. and she will be
far from charming. while in gray she
would be quite the reverse. The
reason is plain-in the blondes SAL
lowness there are trts of gray, and
in the dark wonan's paIlor there are
always ycllowisil tones, the same as
predominant in the crcam-colored
dress. Women who have rather tiorid
compilations look we'll in various
shades of plum and heliotrope, also
in certain shades of dove-gray. for to
trained eye this color has IL tinge of
pink which harmonizcs with the
flesh of tie face. Blondes look faircr
and younger i'm dead black like that
OF wool goods or velvet. while bru-
ncttcs require the sheen of satin or
gloss of silk in order to wear black
to advantage.

The Kiss.

The word .skiss" is Anglo-SaNon,
and may, indeed, he taken us an i'm
stance of how pleasant Anglo-SaXon
can he. The philologist assures us
that it is allied to the Gothic kllstus,
!, proof or test, and TO the Latin
R,:stus, taste. which suggests the
old saying that 1.-THE proof of the pud-
ding is the tricin' OF" That same
Gothic kustus comes from the verb
kiusan, to choose, from which one
would imagine that among the Goths
kissing went by favor. According to
Prof Skeat. writing with all the aus
terity and scholarship of an expert,
kiss is s'a gust. Il caste, something Il
choice"
Rowena, the l.cautiful daughter of
the Saxon Hcngist, is credited with
having introduced kissing into these
fortunate islands, but it seems to me
that had the natives been so utterly
unenlightcncd the Romans could
hardly have failed to anticipate her.
The Romans had Il really delightful
word for a kiss-oscul,lm, which came
from os the mouth. and meant a
me a sweet little mouth" would be
the phrase used when-a good little
Roman boy asked his mother for a
kiss.
Our English word occurs pretty
nearly in its present form in Anglo
Saxon. Dutch, lcclandic, Danish,
Swedish, and German. And this is
worthy of note, because. natural as
kissing may seem to be Ito many of
us), it is a practice unknown to the
Australians, to the Maori of New
Zealand, the Papuans of New Guina,
the people of Tahiti, the negroes of
Central and Southern Africa, the
Botocudos of Brazil, the savages Of
Terra del Fuego, the Laplanders and
the Esquimaus. Most of these be-
nighted mortals have not got beyond
the low stage of rubbing noses to-

CISCO" said G. G. Cochranc. of that
city, at the Leland yesterday. ..There
is one of the tooth-pulling craft
among them who has a string attached
to the upper window of his house and
reaching to the lower, in which is set
an array of white teeth, with a notice
to the effect that they have all been
extracted in a certain space of time.
The Celestials claim that they have
in their own country a powder "a pinch
of which will cause an attack of snecz-
ing. during which the aching tooth
will drop out. A voyage across the
ocean, they say. destroys its effect.
But they have INTRODUCED some
thing in this country which rots away
the tissue of the gum and causes
swelling, suppuration and eventual
destruction of tooth. Arsenic for one
thing will do it, but it is exceedingly
dangerous. 1t is curious that the
Chinese, who lack sensibility. should
dread an operation which the white
man underg0es without any fear.

once thought of an original fashion Of

scribed in the s'Autobiography of an
English Gamekccpcr::''
The laborer was going along the
road mounted on his donkey. which
was a good-sized animal, when he
came to a turnpike gate.
"How much do you charge for my
donkey to walk through?" he asked
the pikeman.
'sTwopence," was the reply.
"And how much do you charge for
carrying a parcel through the gate?"
ssNothing."
"Whoa! whoa" cried Joslin; and
quietly dismounting, he deliberately
slipped his head under the donkey.
seized his forclegs with his hands.
lifted him of the ground, carried
him through the gate and set him
down on the other side.

on the donkey's back; and Of they

Very Kind of Him,

Henry Ward Bccchcr once went in
search of a brief rest to IL small fish
ing village. where his appearance was
apparently unknAwn. When Sum
day came round he went to the MORN
ing service at the Congregational
church, and was not little aston
ished to find the preacher for the day,
a very young man, rattle off one of
his (Beecher's) best sermons as an or
iginal discourse.
AT the conclusion of the service the
great preacher waited for chat with
the young man.
'sNIight l ask how long it took you
to compose the sermon you preached
to us this morning?' inquired it's real
author. 'sOh, about six or seven
hours" was the rcjoinder.
"You must be a very smart young
man." said Bcecher, ''for it took me
just fivAlays to write that self-same
sermon.
After a careful but unblushiug
scrutiny of the great pulpit orator,
the youth remarked
II guess you're Mr.. Ward Bcechcr,
them"
A grave nod w2s the only response.
Then the Juvenile apostle put out
his hand, and, grasping that of his
celebrated listener, exclaimed
''Looll here, Mr. Becchcr. you just
go on writing sermons like that. AS
long as you do l shall never be
ashamed to preach them.

hut Gave HIS wife the Money He Might
Have Spent.
1t isa pretty extravagant man who
will spend $50 per month on cigars
and drinks, but the man who will set
aside that amount of money to his
wife, instead of dispensing it, will find
asolid pile accumulating very rapidly,
says the Tacoma Ledger. There died
recently in Tacoma a lady who had
by that means accumulated $50, 900.
She willed the money to her five chill
idren.
|, The lady's husband did not drink,
smoke or chew. He was working on
good salary, and in four or five years
after their marriage was getting
ahead very satisfactorily. One day
he said to his wife:
~ think will give you each month
the amount Of money l would spend
in smoking and drinking. How much
would it be9"
They calculated the sum. One
friend spent about S25 per month,
another spent 500 and many spent
sums s>atwcen these two extremes. 1t
was agreed that he would spend $40,
and this sum was regularly set aside
by him for her, to constitute Il fund
for the education of their children.
Once or twice every year he would
contribute 500 to her fund instead
of getting drunk. When the fund
had reached comfortable proportions
it was invested. Some of it was
placed at interest. Once the husband
was in a close place and borrowed the
money paying interest for it. The
children growing ND, were sent to
school flom it. Many charitable acts
were performed with the money, but
still it grew. When they removed to
Tacoma some fortunate real estate
investments were made with tho
money. One Of them netted 5000.
When the lady died her estate, ac-
cumulated in this way during
eighteen years, was found to be worth
100000. 1t was willed to her five
children, with provisions securing
them an education. The generous
father, whose abstinence had made
this possible, added 81, 900 to the fund
belonging to each child Besides the
sums of money which were expended
for charity ana in the education of
the children good deal was used for
gifts. The gentleman carries 5000
gold watch as Il memento of the fund.
"The fund had a little advantage, I
guess" said he recently. ''I always
took pains to invest it carefully. But
compounding money makes it grow
very rapidly. The amount placed in
the fund was about Sl4, OOO-pcrhaps
little more-;lnd l added to my
drink money perhaps more than 5000
per year. This amount almost any
smoking and drinking man would
spend in eighteen years. A good
many men in this town smoke 81, 200
to $1,000 per year. 1t does not take
much high-priccd wine to make this
much larger.
