Old Gold Is Scarce.

All sorts of curious things are sold for
the precious metal they contain - old
watches that are broken beyond repair,
old seal rings and rings that were once
set with cleaning gems. a broken
locket once contained Il miniature and
probably holds the secret of q romance.
A brooch is made of the light colored
gold of over 100 years ago and still holds
a lock of somebody's dark hair. It was
bought hair and all and will go into the
melting pot with its story untold.
Some of the gold comes already melted
into Jumps, some of it is the gold filling
of teeth and dentists scraps, and some
of 1t is in the form Of old plates, with
artificial teeth still sticking to them.
Hood & Reynolds. the assayers on Ire
mont street, say that old gold is very
scarce, and they have hard work to col
lect the amount needed in their business.
The old jewelry and scraps are melted
down and refined, then rolled out into
gold foil. The gold foil is bought by
dentists and put into the teeth of their
customers, and in most cases goes back
into the ground with the owner of the
teeth when he dies. Some day, when
Boston is u bowling wilderness, an en-
terprising miner will wash out the earth
of the cemeteries and reap a rich har-
TEST.
But that is a matter of speculation. It
is matter of fact that one firm of REIN
ers here in Boston uses up So, 500 worth
of old gold every week and lately has
been compelled to buy coin to exc out
the supply needed for mechanical pur-
poses.-Boston Herald.

A STORY With A MORAL.

How Keeping Late Hours Estranged Two
Young People of St. Louis.
A curious and withal instructive acct
dent happened in ''our best society" some
time ago. a certain young gentleman
had an engagement to escort certain
young lady to a certain very fashionable
party. The young lady was quite as
fashionable as the party. So when the
young gentleman called about 10 o'clock
she twas not quite ready, but would be
down in q moment" The young gentle
man waited several moments, even 20 or
so, and still she came not. He was very
weary, for, being "a swell society man"
and the season unusually gay, his social
duties had taken him out every night
for week and kept him out until 2 or
i'll the morning.
Naturally he was somewhat sleepy,
and the longer he waited the sleeper he
grew. There was n large alcOve in the
parlor draped with heavy curtains, and
in the alcCve n comfortable sofa. He
thought he would take 40 winks' while
the leisurely lady fingered in her bou-
doir He stretched himself upon the sofa
and proceeded to take the much needed
winks, but unluckily could not stop
with 40. When at last the lady descend
ed, radiant in loneliness and resplendent
in costume, the gentleman was literally
tout of sight"
She never thought of looking behind
the curtains, but supposing he had
stepped out to see friend" she wait
ed and waited and waited in vain. At
midnight she gave up the wait and re-
tired to her room in a mood the reverse
of angelic. Next morning, when the
maid was arranging the parlor, she drew
aside the curtains and screamed. There
was Mr.. Bulliboy sleeping as sound1y
and sweetly as an infant. The scream
awakened him. He opened his eyes,
rubbed them, took in the situation and
fled without leaving his card. Whether
or not he ever made it all right" with
Miss Creme de Ia Creme the deponent
saith not.
The moral to this story is: Have
earlier party hours. Late party hours
kept Miss de la Creme up stairs when she
should have been down, made Mr.. Bull
boy tired and drowsy, and SO tempted
him to the fatal $40 winks," with the
disastrous results above mentioned.
When will some leading lady of fashion
be sensible enough and brave enough to
set the fashion of parties from s to IL,
sharp at both ends?-St. Louis Post-Dis-
patch.

THE NIXON BUILDING.

The interest that attached to the
building is related in the words of an
inscription that was placed upon the
cornerstone after the big fire. 1t was
as follows:
the city that successfully stood the test OF the
great fire of October and o, 1871.
The building was not finished when
the fire occurred, though the walls We're
plastered and the floors laid. The in
terror was full of lumber intended for
finishing purposes, and in some of the
rooms it was piled nearly to the ceiling.
The structure was in the midst of the
burned district, and the test which it
withstood was exceptionally severe.
When the fire was over, it was the only
building that could be fixed up for oc-
cupancy, its walls and rooms being prac-
tically intact. Ten days after the fire it
was all ready for tenants. The tenants
were also ready for the building, and it
is said that business men used to follow
Mr. Nixon around begging for 5-year
leases at exorbitant rents.
The secret of the buildings noncom-
bustibility lay in the fact that the iron
beams Were heavily coated with plaster
of paris, which is practically noncon-
ductor of heat. Mr.. Nixon, on the adj
vice of his architect, had insisted ON this
being done, though his contractors tried
to make him believe it was useless. Mr..
Nixon had boosted that he was going 20
erect building that should last till the
crack of doom, and he watched the con-
tractors carefully to see that their neg
lect did not interfere with his plans. He
was well repaid for his watchfulness.
The building was originally five stories
high and cost about $50, 900, but two
stories were added in 1885. 1t had mar
BILE wainscoting and floors in the halls
and iron stairways and was an archi-
tectural wonder in its day. The first
story was of limestone and the upper
part of Ohio sandstone. The founda-
tions were extra thick and well con-

small Demand For Shoes.

People have not been lavish in their
purchases of shoes of late years. The
surplus of them is undoubtedly smaller
than usual, and yet the quantities dis
tributed throughout The country have
been sufficiently extensive TO enable deal
ers thus far to meet all the require
ments of their customers by simply buy
ing few stray lots here and there to
piece out assortmeuCs. The accUmula-
tions are dwindling, however. day by
day because there are more shoes being
consumed than there are being manu-
featured.
When the clouds vanish from the COM
mercial horizon, as nobody doubts they
willard it does not look reasonable
they should obscure the prospect much
longer-there will be greatly enlarged
markets all over the land for shoes. But
for the present there is not much to be
done except to get under cover, if there
is any shelter anywhere, and wait until
the storm subsides.-Shoe and Leather

Horse Racing.

The plantation hands of the
Kealia plantation, on Kauai, en-
joyed a real Christmas holiday last
Saturday. Work on the plantation
was suspended, and during the day
several sporting contests took place.
One of the events was a wrestling
match between two Japanese, from
Kealia and Kappa respectively.
The Kappa champion threw his
rival in the first round, but he was
worsted during the following
rounds. The judges awarded the
championship to the Kealia man.
Several horse races also took place.
In the evening a Christmas din
ner was given in the plantation
restaurant. Among those present
were Mr.. and Mrs. r. G. Spalding,

the primitive miners cradle are among
the number which are promised to be
forthcoming when the fair opens, and it
has been suggested that they might be
accompanied By some of the actual
prospect holes dug by those bare-armed
monarchs of the potential shovel, but
there seems to be no certainty about
that, and the attendant expense would
probably be too great.
One thing is definitely settled, how
ever, about this Nevada camp, and that
is that the veracious Sam Davis of the
Carson Appeal is to run an antique log
cabin printing Office and get out regu-
lar screaner of a frontier weekly to be
called The Sagebrush Selfcocker. It
will be printed on hand press, without
any of the modern improvements. and
will be filed with just such items and
editorials as appeared in the columns of
its prototypes of 40 years ago. Bret
Harte, Mark Twain, Joaquin Miller and
other pioneers in literature on the Pacific
coast will be invited to contribute, but
Sam Davis will ordinarily keep the col
umns full if he is not lynched too early
in the game.

necessary, and would seem to show
plainly that the movement can in
no sense be justly termed n reUOlu-
ton, but was simply the action of a
hdndfUt Of fsii6usters, made possible
only by the active cooperation of the
American Minister and the Ameri-
can troops, and that the Hawaiian
Government was at the time fully
prepared and capable of regulating its
domestic affairs, maintaining order,
and giving ample protection to life
and property within its borders. Con-
sequentIy, as the defiance of Hawaiian
laws, the deposition of the sovereign
and the spoliation of the treasury were
effected-in fact tOere only possible
through the active agency Of the
american officials and troops, it
seems but just that a full and com
ptete restoration of affairs TO the
statu quo of January IS, 1898, previous
to the landing of the United States
troops, should be made with as little
delay as possible, as each days delay
is adding to the legal and financial
complications which will have to be
met and composed by the Hawaiian
people and their rulers.
