Mr.. J. L. Emerson, a California
"forty miner" relates a curious story
in the Scientific American. God,
while its melting point is over 2.0ld
degrees, will evaporate at much
lower heat. In 1854 the Govern.
ment Inspector visited the Chem new
mint at San Francisco, to take
STICK and found deficiency Of
$4,000 Tremendous excitement
cnsu,d, the sensation being almost
equal to that caused by the acts OF
the famous vigilance Committee.
Wholesale arrests were threatened,
until some cool head suggested that
evaporation was the thief--that the
missing gold had flown up the chim-
ney. Sure enough, examination Of
the slate roof showed it covered with
feathery gold, where the cold air had
caused it to be deposited when it
came out Of the chimney. The states
we're torn Off; also those from several
nearby buildings; these were ground
TO powder, and much OF the gold re.
covered. So also was the furnace and
chimney brick, and, after all was
saved that could be protitabiy by the
methods in use in San Francisco, the
dust was sent to the mint in Phila-
delphia. Here it was worked over
more closely, and then the dust was
sold to French chemists, who shipped
IL to Paris and worked it over again
there.
More than one-half of the sl60, 000
as well as the good name of the San
Francisco official, was saved by these
various processes. Improved meth
DDS now prevent any recurrence OF
such mysterious losses.

The Maryland Schools.

The announcement is made from week
to week, says the Morning Herald. that
the schools of this or that county in
Maryland have been s'0sed for want Of
funds. A. recurrence of this condition
of afflirs year after year has led up to
the conclusion that something is defsc
tive in the machinery by which the
school funds are raised. Criticis.4 IL
common, and there is great danger that
the Maryland public school system will
suffer iucalculable Lam IN be way Of
IL itjudg,nen'.
The Secretary of the State Board of
Education in his last annual report has
something to say calculated to dissiplte
the notion that there is any bad manage
ment behind the failare in several cOun-
ties to secure sufie ent funds to keep the
schools open the entire school year He
declares that the system as such is pecu
Early free from fruits In many i'm
portant res poets Maryland has the best
educational advantages Of any State u
the Union. Upon the whole, the schools
have excellent teachers, the grade If in
struction is high and the management is
simple aud effective.
Maryland provides public instruction
for 2eO, 900 pupils annually A force
of 4 900 teachers is required aud the
cost is very great The eorn:ies being
somewhat sparsely settled cannot always
Command the revenue required to keep
the schools open, but that is The fault of u
few taxpayers rather than of the system

presented by this report will do much to
destroy false impressions and to dlsarm
snap judgment

Reports from Washington assert that
Secretary Gresham has been hunting
for some excuse to abrogate the reciproc-
ity treaties ever since he assumed Office
They alss stse that he has been success
full. This is no doubt true. Such an
excuse usually is found. and that with
OFT much difficulty, by the man who sets
out to look for it. The increase from
$1S,0O0,C0t to S33. 900 in the
value Of ous exports to Cuba during the
eighteen months of the treary's operation
over the corresponding period preceding
counts for nothing in the Admnistra-
tons estimation. Nor does it seem 10
occur to, the President TINT the trivial in
Engagements on our treaty rights which
are complained of in the case of Cuban
officials could be easily stopped by prop
or diplomatic procedure, and that the
sacrifice of our valuable market is not at
all necessary.
Cleveland and Gresham are not seek
ing to preserve the market. They want
pretext to destroy reciprocity Having
lowered the flag ia Hawaii, the admins
tration is now willing to undertake the
task Of checking our commercial expan-
sion in Latin America. Both feats will
accord exactly with the Democratic pro-
ject to turn over the domestic market to
foreigners.

Here is tale of queer parade,
And fine ccmmoti0n its coming made.
The girls and boys all opened their eyes
In utter amazement and surprise.
For the Parts of speech in grand array
We're out for glorious holiday.
First marched the Nouns of every kind,
Not even the commonest loft behind;
Proper, collective, all were there,
In the great festivity 20 share.
Then came the Verbs in their solid strength
Making line OF marvellous Length;
Ana noble they were to see,
Led by the hardy veteran To Be.
The regulars fine won every eye,
As calamity they went marching byi
The naughty irregulars. sad to say,
Behaved In their usual lawless way;
But the ranks held many stanch old

Every one felt, as he viewed the host,
That Verbs hail truly right to boast
The Pronouns followed, and not few,
For, of course, they brought their relatives,
too
Now magnificent, proud, and grand,
The Adjectives came, a countless band;
They we're lovely and beautiful to behold.
They we're fine, impressive, courageous,
and bold;

NO MORE DRINKS FOR HIM.
A Bibulous Husband Cured by a Crooked
Mirror.


Mirror.
A st. Paul lady has made a temper
ate man OF her husband in a novel way
Fo- two OF Tree years he was COOL
deal OF a lark. Night after night he
came home saturated. At length one
night he reached home so drunk that he
went 10 bed with his boots on. She re-
solved now TO euro him at any cost, and
coon had her pans laid. The next
night he srrlved home very drunk. The
following morning he arose and looked
In the large mirror in his room. His
mouth was drawn out Of shape, one
cheek was a good deal higher than the
other, and both were swollen; one eye
was popping out OF his head, and the
other was sunken and drawn 10 twice
its natural length; one ear sat on his
neck and the other was split and stood
almost on top OF his head.
Such hellish picture as that never
saw before, muttered he.
Then he looked at the mirror TO see
that It was the tame he had always
used. II was the same frame, and, as
II was built In the wall, IL could not
have been changed. He called his wife
into the room.
For Gods sake, Mary, what's the
matter with that mirror" he said.
why, nothing that know OF, dear.

She looked in it, and declared that
she didn't see anything the matter with

The doctor arrived pronounced il a
clear case, and prescribed. The hts.

other room, and lay there a day or two
Before the physician permitted him to
be out again he pledged her he would
never drink again.
This was five years ago, and he has
kept his pledge faithfully. But it is
doubtful If he knows that the mirror
which frightened him SO was an imper-
feet glass, which had b en- put in tho

more or less resemble daisies. Such
spots as are dotted regularly over the
muslIn are easiest TO manage, and
therefore usually chosen. The fol-
lowing shows more elaborate way Of
working the flowers when the spots
are scattered among the details of a
leafy, branching pattern. The spots
are covered with French knots; the
rays of the flowers are worked with
spike stitches placed on each side of
straight line of split stitch. A
good effect may also Be gained by
working these sections with feather
veining, such as is used in many
kinds Of linen embroidery for the
midribs of leaves and in similar
places. This work is even prettier
when a pale shade Of pink or blue is
used for the flowers than when the
customary white filoselle is employed,
which is rather apt to pass for por-
ton of the pattern already on the
muslin.
