Mr.. GEO. B. HANNA, of the United

doing the State good service by his
articles on "Gold Mining in North
Carolina" published in the Manufac-
turers' Record. Very little mining is
now done in Davidson county, he
writes, but Randolph and Mont
gomery counties abound in mines,
there being not less than thirty in
Randolp. The yield of one mine in
Union county has been estimated at
$75O,OOO.

Here II q story Of impudenco from real
life. II was told by my late friend. the
Rev. ureville Chester, who made little
novel out Of II, but | do not think the
book "caught on" or had any success.
The thing happened almost exactly as
follows: There was a lady living In the
countryi she was advanced in years,
either unmarried or widow; she was
wealthy, and she lived alone.
One winter evening she heard the
sound Of carriage wheels on the gravel
The door was opened, and then fol-
lowed the humping of trunks in the hall.
Then lady's name was announced, and
her visitor entered. She came in run
ming; she came in holding out both her
hands; she came In with laugh Of well
come and of joy. you dearest Jenny" /"
she cried, kissing her with brimming
eyes. 1t is 40 years since last we part
ed at deal old Miss IS school. How
are your How are you? Oh, my dear.
| am so glad to see you'll And I've come
to stayw
She sat down, thrcv off her bonnet
and began to rattle on about the school.
When they separated for the night. the
hostess reflected that she had not even
asked her visitors name and that she re-
membered nothing at all about her. In
the morning she did ask her name, but
yet she remembered nothing at all about
her. That visitor came to stay. In fact.
she never went away again. The two
ladies lived together in the greatest ami
ty till the end. And to the very end the
hostess never knew who her friend was
and could not associate her name or her
face with her old school. Walter Besant

light and power. The conversion and
transmission of h0at by this process is
not economical, and current from coal
burning stations in sufficient quantities
for heating could only be used by the
wealthy, to whom its convenience and
cleanliness would commend itself.
II is apparent, however. that the coal
