Gold in All sand.

1t is true that the sand of all
beaches does contain a certain amunn1
of gold, though ordinarily the guam.
tity is not sufficiently great to pay
for separating it. However. certain
sands near the mouths of the rivers
in Oregon are really so rich in the
precious metal than attempts have
been made to mine them. The
streams have brought it down and
deposited it in conditions of unusual
purity though finely divided. Tn.
fortunately. it is only found deep
down near the bed of the rock, and
as fast as the worthless superincumb
ent material is taken away it Is
washed back again aud covers up the
wealth beneath.
There is SO much gold in sea water
that single bucketful of it reveals q
yellow trace on analysis. Every ton
of water in the ocean contains about
one grain OF the metal. That amount
of gold is enough to gid flfty-six
square inches of surface or it may be
drawnout into 500 feetsof wire. Thus
itlappears Sthat athere is plenty OF
the shining standard of value in the
world, the only difficulty being to
separate it economically from the
other elements with which it Is found
combined

A Dogs Revenge.

a farmer having sold flock OF
sheep to a dealer lent him his dog to
drive them home, a distance OF thirty
miles, desiring the dealer to give the
dog meal at his journeys end and
tell it to go home,
The drover found the dog so useful
that he resolved to keep it and, in.
stead OF sending it back, locked
it up.
The collie grew sulky and at last
effected its escape.
Evidently considering the drover
had no more right to detain the sheep
than he had to detain itself. the hon.
est creature went into the field, col.
lected all the sheep that had belonged
to its master and, to that persons
intense establishment. drove the
whole flock home again. Spare Mo.

Cats in Church SDire,

Church mice and church rats are
common enough, but church cats are
little out Of the ordinary run. The
trio of felines which b. T. Wood
brey, carpenter of Brighton, found
In the Spire OF the First Parish
church OF Brighton recently are of a
species entirely unknown. About a
year ago the property of the First
Parish was sold to Fred Williams
manager Of the Sunbeam Opera Com
pany. Recently Mr.. Woodbury. be-
gan to tear down the old spire of the
church. He first tore off heavy
wire screen that inclosed the belfry.
This screening has been ia place FOR
number OF years. When it was re-
moved three most peculiar cats were
seen to jump from rafter to rafter
and ascend to the peak of the spire.
They are exceedingly wild and their
appearance is extremely peculiar.
They are covered with a coat of long
shaggy fur, their teeth are long and
are almost like tusks On the nose
of each is large tuft of hair resem-
bling tusk. They are very agile,
and spring from rafter TO rafter with
the ease OF a squirrel. 1t is not
known how they got into the spire or
how long they have been there, but
they must have been confined in
their aerial abode for many years
About a year ago strange singing
noise was heard coming from the
spire at frequent intervals, and it
was thought that it was caused BY
the swinging OF the vane. 1t is now
believed that it was made by .these
animals. How they haye managed
to live is unaccountable. unless they
catch the sparrows and swallows that
abound in the spire. 1t Is not known
how their supply of water was OBJ
tanned. Mr.. Woodbury. will endeavor
to capture them. Boston Transcript.

WITH THE SECOND FINGER.
An Experts Idea AZ to the Best Way to
Fire u Pistol.

An Experts Idea az to the Best Way to
Fire 81 Pistol.
Shooting a pistol quickly and ac
curately Is a di!tcut feat to the in
experienced, but the following method
recommended by an old-timer seems
to divest the operation of some Of
the mystery which has heretofore en-
veloped it, says the Kansas City
Times. According to this gentleman.
the trigger should always be pulled
by the second finger, the first finger
being extended along the barrel, so
that it points at the object one is
shooting at. No matter whether the
gun is on level with the hip or
sighted with the eye, the index finger
will point exactly at the target. OF
course the finger and the barrel must
he kept parallel and the shooter must
not careleSsly allow the end OF his
finger to curl around the end Of the
mu1hle OF the weapon. If the finger
should happen to be longer than the
pistol barrel, otherwise unen .oyable
happenings might ensue. That this
method is theoretically correct may
be proved Ey an easy experiment.
Io!nt your finger at an object, at the
same time keeping your hand on u
level with your breast and the direc-
ton OF the finger not in line with the
eye and the object aimed at Then
lower your head until you can sight
along YOUR finger and you will find
that the digit points exactly at the
10 ect From unconscious practice
IN conversation persons acquire the
trick of pointing accurately with the
index finger, and it is that instinct
i've habi: which is taken advantage of.
The beauty Of this method lies in
the fact that no time need be lost in
getting the pistol from the hip
pocket up 10 the level of the eye.
The maxim ''He gives twice who
gives quickly" is as applicable to get
ting a gun into action sometimes as
it is for use in Presidents message.
The shooting OF birds on thcawing is
done more by instinct of long prac-
tice than bv the direct use OF the
eye. But a baseball pitcher never
employs theodolite to locate the
plate. and a quarterback frequently
passes the ball to a runner when both
are running at full speed in different
directions without the use of a speed
counter These gentry do not even
have the advantage of a finger to di-
rect their shots. 1t would seem that
by the employment OF the index finger
method the general standard of &C.
curacy in pistol shooting might he
considerably raised.

birds and Insects Must do Thor Prettlsse

| The wooing OF birds Is most re-
fined and graceful Love tunes their
respective pipes. and they seek to
captivate their mates by their sweet
est notes and most varied warblings.
The wood pigeon charms his lady
ioyc by u series Of aerial cyolutiOns
and a curious Tapping Of his strong
wing feathers, pulling his breast and
softly cooling.
At mating time the plumage of
male birds Is more handsome than at
any other period--indeed. some birds
assume different colors in the spring.
Yellow-hammers charm their mates
by displaying their tail feathers in
The form OF a fan; starlings chatter
in the sunshine to show the metallic
beauty OF their breast feathers, and
swallows circle and double in grace
full flight before their lady-loves.
Bright shells, flowers feathers and
grasses are laid by the hover bird at
the entrance Of his partners retreat;
and tiny humming birds WOO most

hues ana engaging in fierce combat
with a possible rival; even bringing
nectar from choice flowers for the

will approach female and amuso

She is very vicious lady and not

All That Cutters Is Not Gold.

gold is concerned is illustrated by the
story of IA certain volcanic island in
the Indian Ocean, the sand along the
shore OF which is filed with gold
colored crystals of chrysolite or .'gold
stone" These crystals glitter brightly
in the sun, and about century ago
crazy Frenchman, struck with the
brilliancy of the pebbles, supposed
that he had hit upon riches compared
to which the wealth of Ormus and of
Ind was as nothing. He collected
quantities OF the crystals, heated
them in crucible. and fancied that
he produced ingots from them. His
delusion was quite harmless, but only
few years ago lot OF chrysolite-
bearing sand from the island was
shipped to France and made great
sensation. Great numbers of people
went wild about it, and companies
were organized to begin mining oper.
