the enormity OF the gambling laws for
which they are directly responsible,
will succeed before the courts. But
II tney do not succeed their work is
BY no means accomplished. What
they need to bear in mind 10 their own
responsibility for the character of the
Legislature which recently broke up
In disgrace, and the necessity OF send

The gamblers are hoping that the
storm will soon blow over, and that
by the next election these good people
will forget tho great enormtty of race
track gambling. II this will be the
case the State will deserve whatever Is
In store for it. These people who are

Although there have been great re.
vivals of religion In different parts OF
the Wilmington Conference during
the late Conference year. the summing
up Of tho aggregate shows that there
Ia decrease OF one hundred and six
ty-seven practitioners. compared with
the reports OF the preceding year. In
this statistics Of full members there is
q better showing, the number being
eight hundred and fifty more than the
preceding year. There is u decrease
OF thirteen In the roster OF local
preachers. and it Is gratifying TO know
that in tho number Of deaths there are
eighty-seyen less than the preceding
year. The number OF children bap-
tised falls one hundred and tifty-eight
balow the previous year, and of adults
sixty-seven less. Sunday schools show
rather mixed result.
There are fifteen more than last
year and one hundred and twenty mine
more officers and teachers; but strange
to say, that in officers and scholars
there are ninety eight less. In the
average attendance in Sunday schoois
which Is the true test, there Is l,oS2
less than last year, and there are 2,033
less library books than last year.
which. considering the character of
the books. is no great loss. There are
80 scholars who are church members
less than last year. and In conversions
the number is 176 less. The current
expenses OF the schools are $3.50 less
than last year. In the matter of
church property, there are $40
churches, which is two more than last
year and the probable value OF the
b Is $1,4s6,5T7 which is $l2,055
ne than last year. OF parsonages
there are 12s, which is one more than
last year, the whole being worth $3.50, :
1876, which is "a, 225 more than last
year.
There were SIS, 1858 mora paid fol-
building improvements than last year
and 81 ,421 paid on the old debts less
than last year. The present indebted
ness, however. on church property is
s25,527 less than last year. The total
claims Of salaries paid pastors during
the present year amounted in the ag
gregate to 1852. 72S, which is s4,s7;
more than last year. But the receipts
amounted to only S1l2,644.
There has been considerable de
crease in the missionary collec
lions from the churches. The whole
conference contributed $3.50. which
is $3.50 less than last year. and from
the Sunday School missionary eollec.
tions there is decrease OF sos. Fol
church extension there is 1927 les.
than last year.
Upon the whole the Conference hal
made very little advance over the pre-
vlous year In the aggregate Of all it
departments. Some pastors blame i
on the failure Of the peach crop, which
might be plausible excuse, were i
pot that in the Wilmington districts
where very few peaches are nov
raised, the decrease is as great as il
pther districts where tile peach Is cul
tivated. Other preachers put tn
blame on the exceedingly cold win
her that was almost fatal to TIL
oyster industry, which may indeed b
Rplausible excuse. Altogether, how
over, the Conference is in health
condition and shows eigns of pros
porous year coming.

Whenever ! buy canary it seems
to be a bird that is especially subject
to colds and pneumonia, and it is
only by the exercise OF the greatest
care that ] can keep it from sue
cumbing to some pulmonary trouble.
Yet the canary bird sellers have
their wares for sale in the streets in
the coolest weather almost entirely
unprotected from the wind. They
stand around with them for hours
and no bad result seems to come of it,
How is It'll

conspiracy between the dealers and
the birds BY which the latter die as
soon as they are bought, compelling
the purchasers to invest in more ca
naries. You wouldn't think to look
at the little yellow fellows that they
were capable Of so much treachery.

pose the whole secret of the thing
consists in knowing what you're
about From results am led to be

air dealer know what they're about
and that don't, at least as far as
the canary birds are concerned. :

A Joke of a Court Fool.

The term fool is often misapplied.
Thus. Charlesthe Simple was no fool,
but man ofextraordinary simplicity
and strength Of mind and feeling.
So Homer. when he called Telema
chus fool or silly did not employ
the word as a term Of reproach, but
of endearment.
The court fool, or Jester, was for
merly an important person in the
households Of kings and princes. His
influence over his master was consid-
cradle. and many clever sayings Of
fools are still in existence.
Charles the Simple had a Jester
named Jean, who one morning tried
his masters nerves by rushing into
his room with the exclamation: "Oh,
sire, such newsl -Four Thousand men
have risen in the cityi'
What" cried the startled king.
with what intention have they
risen9n
well, replied the Jester, prob
ably with theintention Of lying down
again at bedtime. Youths Compan-

In Thuringia there is whole dis
trict which is dependent for its sup
port on the manufacture Of artificial
eyes. husbands, wives and children
all working together at this means of
livelihood And yet, though these
simple German village people turn
out their produce by the dozen, no
two eyes are ever the same. No ar
tificial eye has its exact fellow either
in color or in size in the whole world.
The method of the manufacture is
mot a very complicated art They
are firstly glass plates. which are
blown by gas jets. then nodded by
hand into the form of an ovel shaped
cup
The color;ng Of the eyes is effected
by means Of tracing with fine needles,
the tints being left to the taste Of the
individual worker, though the scope
of their taste is necessarily limited to
grays and blues and browns and
blacks, which colors are assorted to
gether before being eventually dis
patched to their various destinations.

A neat pickpocket dodge practiced
upon rural looking persons in this
town is based upon the known good
nature and courtesy of the average
American citizen. The pickpocket,
clad in fine raiment and carrying a
stick, stands upon the rear platform
Of a street car, facing the dashboard.
He struggles with a pair of tight
gloves. and having vainly endeavored
to button one after putting on the
other, appeals to the kindness of the
man facing him on the platform.
In nine times out Of ten he picks
the right man, and while the bene-
ractor buttons the gloves the pick
pocket with his disengaged hand
takes the others watch. The confed-
crate inside is at hand to battle the
pursuers in case the thief is detected.

The belief in transmutation and in
the virtues Of the powder Of projeo-
ton is to be found more clearly
stated in the works Of Zosimus Of
PanopOlis, the earliest known writer
on alchemy whose authentic works
have come down to us, for in his first
lesson he exclalms, How beautiful
it is to see the changes of the four
metals lead, copper, tin, silver-till
they become perfect goldr Tine idea
had evidently been developed and
the art assiduously cultivated in
Egypt since the time of the spurious
Democritus, for Zosimus quotes the
opinions Of many adopts, of whose
writings, mostly apochryphsl, moth
ing is known save from his pages.
Hermes Trismegistus and Democ-
ritus, Moses and Mary the Jewess,
Agathodemon and Cleopatra, the
prophet Chymes and the divine
Sophar are quoted as authorities for
the operations to be performed on
various minerals, which, after being
duly melted, calcined, refined and
sublimatcd over and over, are do
clared to have become gold or silver.
To these more or less intelligible
descriptions of chemical processes
| Zosimus adds his own commentaries,
which he sometimes presents under
the form of allegories or visions. -

Superintendent Stout recently de-
scribed a wonderful mineral spring
that formerly flowed from the noun
tain side some miles above the Butte
Greek House and near the Plumas
county line.
This spring was first called to Mr..
Stout's attention some years ago
while camping in that vicinity by an
old prospector, who called it the
tchloroform spring. The water
which flowed from it did not differ
in appearance or taste from the wa
ter Of other springs, except that ii
was slightly brackish. 1t was the ef
feet that followed the drinking of its
waters that was remarkable. Asmall
cup wouldin the ecourse ofhalf an hour
render the drinker totally insensible,
and he would remain for hours as II
dead But few white men had ever
tried the experiment Of drinking
from it, but those who have done so
describe the effect as not unlike that
resulting from a heavy narcotic.
To the Indians this spring has been
known for generations. They call it
the heap Sleep spring, and it is
said that more than one weary red
man has entered the happy hunting
grounds through the medium of its
waters. Oroville Mercury.

/ One night Brienoi invited several
friends 10 sup with him after per.
formance in Baltimore, and on reach.
ing hisapartments found the tables
and the walters in readiness to begin
bringing in the dishes, He was ex-
tremely particular about the appear
lance Of his table, and always took Il
critical view of the croclery. silver,
linen, etc, before inviting Lis friends
TO sit down. On this occasion his
eagle eye discovered several small
holes in the tablecloth, and his anger
was all ahame in an instant.
Too full of wrath to speak, he
caught hold Of the corner of the
cloth and gave one long, quick jerk,
clearing the table completely and
scattering knives, forks, spoons,
plates, etc, all over the room. The
astounded walters ran to the proprie
tor with the tale, and when he III,
rived on the scene there was danger
inhis eye.
\ Brignoli knew he was in serious
trouble, and forthwith brought into
play all his cunning TO get out of it.
He pretended that the walters had
treated him in a most outrageous
manner; that the tablecloth was not
fit for a hog to eat of of that the
dinner was cold that the wines
were warm--in short he made the
proprietor believe that everything
was just as bad as possible. Then
he began to molIify him by praising
his house,
