Before turning it over 20 the justice the
jury struck for their hard-earned fees
Under protest the justice gave each

which read: The jury cannot agree"

the fifty cents each juror had been
paid. The jury refused and the court
ordered them locked up until a verdict

another hour the jury reported that
they were still unable to agree. Judge
English then demanded the return of

A Leap For Life.

The way having been cleared, the life

of bluff nearly 800 feet above the sea. Be
low was the nearly sunken wreck, its two
masts still standing, but the hull rapidly
breaking up. Standing in the lower rig

him, on the swaying crosstrees, were hud-

mortar, and by this means the entire crew
was rescued after herculean labors On the
part of the surfmen and citizens.
Another remarkable incident in the his
tory of the service occurred at Cleveland,
where the schooner Sophia Minch was
wrecked in attempting TO enter the harbor.
The life saving crew went to the rescue
and the keeper advised that the vessel De

her pounding to pieces on the rocks. The

IRREGULARITIES OF Gold.

The popularity of gold which makes it
valuable is its hardness and consequent
durability. Gold coin loses one-hun-
redth part only of its weight in fifty years,
while silver loses as much in ten years.
Again, gold is discolored or deteriorated
by scarcely anything with which it can
come in contact. 1t has little affinity
for oxygen, and, therefore, undergoes
no change by exposure TO the atmosphere.
It is unaffected, by hydrochloric acid,
sulphuric acid, ahd2in short, by any sim
pie acid except se1enie acid, nor do al
kalies affect it. On an old-fashioned
wooden monument in the churchyard at
Ifiey, near Oxford, England, which had,
the inscription cut in wood and gilded,
the wood round the letters had now rot
ted away while they, preserved by the
gold, stand out in relief A third pecu-
liarity of gold is its malleability. BY a
rolling mill it can be beaten out thinner
than any other metal, and to such an ex-
tent that the leaves of gold thus obtained
may be laid upon one another to the
number of 300, 900, and yet stand only
one inch in height. Thus one grain can
be distributed over $3.50 inches of sur
idSc' again. SV SiSoe 10 isS uuS1Aity
that one grain can be drawn out into 500
feet of wire. Gold, because of these
two qualities, is very valuable, as such
little of it will go such along way. A
fifth quality of gold is its high specific
gravity; in other words, its great weight
in proportion to its bulk. This renders
it valuable us a means of purchase or ex-
change. The weight of a piece of oak
compared to piece. of gold of the same
size is as III so ,926, to that if gold was
light as oak sovereign would have to
be sixteen and half times as large. We
talk of being as heavy as lead,
but gold is nearly twice as heavy, as
to eleven; but few have the
chance of holding so much gold in their
hands as lead, and thus of comparing
them Yankee Blade

A fairly reliable tifne Indicator. il

AS is generally known, the group OF
fixed stars called the Clipper" makes
an apparent revolution around the
north star i'm every twenty-fourh hours,
with the two stars forming the outer
elevation OF the bowl of the dipper
pointing nearly directly to the polar
star continuously; If, therefore, the
position of the pointers" is taken at
any given hour, say six o'clock in the
evening in winter time, and as soon
as it is dark in the summer, the
hours thereafter can be pretty accp-
rately measured by the eye during
the night. Frequent observations of
position will have to be made at the
given hour as, owing to the constant
changing of the earth's position in
space, the position of the pointers"

this way observations taken during a

THE owl is one of the most useful
of our feathered friends. He is

Every one kills thousands of insects
in the summer, digging them out of
the bark and wood. II they were to
stop work many fruits, and shade
trees would die. Yet because they
cut holes in the bark, which scientific
men say does not injure the trees,
farmers give the birds a bad name
and kill them whenever they can.
The more people find out what they
really eat the better they know that
birds are almost always the best help
ers farmers and gardeners can have.
They do, to be sure, sometimes eat
fruit, but they have paid for every

A GHOST" in St Paul's Church,
Milwaukee, turns out to be 16-year-
old lad who is passionately fond of
music, and who stole into the church
nights to play on the organ. He had
been denied the use of an instrument
at home, as his father wished him to
devote more time to other studies.
The incident is interesting in that it
illustrates the tendency of parents to
restrain children in the pursuit of
these branches for which nature has
intended them, and to push them in
studies for which they have no adap-
tation. This evening-up process is
very unwise. Trying to keep child
from learning what he thirsts to
know is as useless as to attempt to
keep the sun from shining. He will
be hindered for while, but not eff
fectually repressed. 1t is pleasing to
know that the Milwaukee ghost is
now to have an organ of his own.
