A Strange AMiction.

A French journal describes the case
OF woman twenty-one years of age
but whose physiognomy is that of a
woman fully seventy years old. The
appearance of the young woman is so
deceiving that her father, who is fifty
years old, has frequently been asked if
she were not his mother. The surface
of the skin is the only part affected.
The doctors describe it as decrepitude
of the cutaneous system. Beyond this
the young LADY has nothing old appear
ing about her. Her hair is blonde and
of ordinary length and her memory,
judgment and intelligence very good.
Drs. Charcot and Souques,' under whose
observation the case was studied, state
that the wrini1ling of the girls skin be-
gan when she was about eleven years
old. Up to that time she had been a
vivacious and happy child, ranking well
in her studies at school. The wrink-
ling was so rapid that her friends were
unable to recognize her after period
of two weeks, unless they had seen her
in the interval. DR.. Charcot states that
the skin, during the early stages of the
change, resembled the scales of fish.
Every possible means have been tried to
improve the young lady's condition, but
they have all proved unavailing.

SIBERIAN HORRORS.
The Desperate Condition of an American
Sailor Prisoner.

The Desperate Condition of an American
Sailor Prisoner.
Charles Wilson, mate Of the sealing
schooner GeorTe r. White, tells tale
of suffering in Siberia. On trip in the
spring OF 1890 the schooner got into
Russian waters and barely escaped ar
rest. Another American scaler at the
time was captured by the Russian au-
thorities, says Wilson, and the crew
compelled to work in the coal mines.
Capt. Alexander Mclean, of the schoon-
er Eddie d. Webster of San Francisco,
was arrested, but it is not known
whether these men Belonged to his or
another vessel. Two of the crew of
Americans, names unknown, incurred
the displeasure of the officials because
of disposition to shirlx work. They
were chained together with iron bands
around their wrists and a large iron
ball at the end of the chain. One man
was very large and the other below the
medium height. They were kept under
ground and had to dig a certain amount
OF coal each day or no food would be
sent down to them. The supply got
short and the big man ate his com
panion's food for five days. The small
man became frantic with hunger and
murdered the greedy prisoner while he
slept. He called to the guard at the
mouth of the shaft and told him he had
killed his companion and asked to be
.oosened from the dead man. The
guard refused. In desperation the small
man took coal shovel and cut the dead
man in two and loosened the band from
his waist. Neither was seen again.
The supposition is that the murderer
was killed by q guard Or starved to
death. The story is told by prisoner
who worked in the mines where the
tragedy occurred. Many arrests are re-
ported of poaching sailors by the Rus
sian authorities and many prisoners
never leave the mines alive.

MANY MlLLIONAiRES.


Plenty OF Wealthy Men in New York
City.
Admitted to be the most astonishing
feature Of modern society in New York
i do not say modern fashionable So
ciety, because several of the names up
on its shining list are not yet seen in
those of the functions enjoyed by the
society called Four Hundreds the
number of colossal fortunes owned by
individuals, writes Mrs. Burton Harri-
son in an article on Social Life in New
York" in Ladies' Home Journal
Two men are cited who are reported
to enjoy the revenues from estates of
$15O,000,000 each. Others - between
twenty-five and thirty of these envia-
BILE souls-lie down at night with the
agreeable reflection that they may up
on the morrow, if SO disposed, make
ducks and brakes of fortunes rang
ing from $5,OO0,OOO to 500, 600, 900
each. AS to the "one-millionaires-
and-over," they are quite common in
our streets. Naturally enough the daz-
zle of these facts leads people outside of
New York to fancy that the whole of
society is in the attitude glowingly de-
scribed by Thaclserays Vicomte de
Florac to express his prosperity: "Sit-
ting surrounded by splendors, before
golden vases, crowned with flowers,
with Wallets to kiss our feet"
Entire columns of small print are de-
voted to the jeweled crown, the strings
of black pearls and threaded diamonds
bought from the sales of royalty de-
posed or deceased; the dinner services
of gold and porcelain; the orchids, the
curtains and tablecloths of priceless
lace, the town houses, the country
houses, the equipages and the yachts
with boudoirs fitted in white and
gold and silken broideries that would
have seemed impossible save to the
fevered imagination of writer of cor
sair romances twenty years ago. As a
keen commentator on American char
acter has recently observed: "When
the material rewards of success are so
great the American mind has no choice
but to brood on them" This dis
cussion of wealth has, to all appear
ance, indeed become our crowning re-
proach among other nations who de-
clare that while money rules the world
we alone make no pretense at yelling
our worship of plutocracy.

but the fact that it was put ON with a
small paint brush excited grave appre-

the customer, in what he meant to be

"Not much," was the reply. "You
see, people never come here more than

The wave of apprehension grew

PREPARING AGAIEs.
They Come Mostly from Brazil and AR
Cut in Germany.

Cut In Germany.
"Agates are kind of quartz" said a
mineralogist to n Washington Star
writer. Most of them come from South
America, and especially from Brazil,
where they are found in great quanti-
ties. Thence they are shipped as ballast
in vessels bound for Ham burg, Germany,
and from that port they are forwarded
to Oberstein. The latter town is the
great agate market of the world.
"At Oberstein the agates are sorted
into lots. according to quality, and sold
at auction. After this they are sent to
the mills to be cut and polished. Along
the 1dar river, between the towns of
Oberstein and Idar. there are more than
one hundred and fifty mills for working
agates. Each mill has several big grind
stones, on which the valuable bits of
quartz are ground, being usually at
tached to small sticks for that purpose.
Choice specimens are preliminarily cut
into rough shapes with a steel wheel
and diamond powder. Common ones,
however, are merely broken into the
forms desired with hammer and chisel.
By long experience the workmen ac-
quire great dexterity in applying their
blows SO as to obtain the requisite
fractures.
eat each revolving grindstone two
men work. They do not sit or stand,
but lie outstretched upon wooden stools
made to fit their bodies. While they
hold the agate to the grindstore they
get purchase with their feet against
blocks of wood fastened to the floor.
After being ground the agates are pol
ished on cylinders of hard wood, which
are fed as they revolve with mixture
of tripoli and water.
"Agates are often colored artificially.
For this purpose they are first placed in
olive oil and heated. Then they are
put into sulphuric acid and heated
again. Owing to the fact that some
layers of agate are quite porous, while
others are dense, the oil enters the
porous layers, where it is blackened by
the acid, thus making the contrast be-
tween the colors of the layers more
striking and enhancing the beauty of
the stones. Other colors are given to
agates by soaking in different solutions
and otherwise, but these methods are
trade secrets"

THE TIN MINES OF AMERICA.
Where They Arc Located and Their Pro-
portions OF Value.

Where They Arc Located and Their Pro-
portions OF Value.
The tin bearing lodes are for the
most part on the western side of the
Black Hills, among the older schists,
and are Of very different degrees of
value. Some of them are of enormous
thickness, exceeding one hundred feet,
but the cassitcritc is not equally dis
tributed in them. It is found in strings,
and patches, and sheets, and many of
the veins and large parts Of others con-
tain none. They DIP into the ground at
high nglcs-ucually about seventy de-
grecs-in this respect resembling the
lodes of Cornwall. and their working
will consequently bc very similar I'm
mense quantities of cassiterite exist in
hills. The granite veins are very nu-
merous, and large proportion of them
are more or less stannifcrous, says q
writer in the Engineering Magazine.
But the percentage, as elsewhere, is
very low, about cqualing the average
yield Of the Cornish mines az present in
operation. 1t is not easy to give fig
urcs, but sangEine estimate might pat
forth at two per cent. and probably in
order to attain this some of the poorer
mineral must be excluded.
The granite of the Temcscal range in
San Bernadino county, Cal, has
yielded small quantities Of tin ore and
a few rich specimens. In 1861 consid-
cradle exploration was made in the re-
gion, and this has recently been re-
ncwcd. But so far as is known the con-
ditions of the occurrence of the mineral
do not differ from those obtained else
where. Maine, Alabama, Massachu-
sets, Virginia and South Carolina have
at various times yielded show of cas-
siterite and always in close connection
with primitive rocks.

BABIES ON ORDER.
FoundlinEs Shipped About the Country
in N,

in Quantities.
E Do You want baby? II you do it
can be h9d to order on short notice at
reduced rates from Tic New York
founding asylum of New FORK ci;v.
This institution. sayS the Chicago Post,
and others Of similar nature are
doing thriving business in Chicago,
and for several years past they have
unloaded anywhere from three hun
dred to five hundred unfortunate waits
per year on families in and about this
city. No less than City of these little
unfOrtGnateS, for Tie most part chill
dren or crime. were seat to this city
during recent inonth. Ouc consign-
ment alone consisted of thirty found
lings. and Other shipments varied in
numbers from two to ten. This traffic
in human ficSh-for such IL iS-has
grown to such an alarming ma gnitudc
that local benevolent societies have
been forced TO take cCgni3ancc of it,
and it is more taUn probable Jhut steps
will be taken to suppress it. The claim
is made Chat the babies are sold at
SO much per head, and when con-
signnent arrives all that is necessary
10 90 Is TO go to tho pen, pick out the
baby that takes your fancy, pay the
stipulated price, and 1t is yours. The
parentaGc of the child is carefully con-
cealed. as this is the safest course and
prevents any future c,!tauglc .1cnts as
to the right of ownership. II also
throws halo of romance and mystery
about the little wai, and leaves pleas
urable possibility that it's mother may
be member Of "thc Four Hundrcd''
or its father congressman or Doodle
alderman who viii appear some day
in the distant and misty future and
shower his millions on his illegitirnatc
child. BE this as it may, the fact ne
mains that New York founding homes
and baby farms arc sending hundreds Of
children to this city, and they are per-
fectly willing to take money for them if
it is offered, and in many eases they sell
