A WONDERFUL ALCHEMY.
The True PHILOSOPHERS Stone" Discovered
by Joseph Ribers-

lnc hifOsOpntr STONE DlScOtcrcu
by Joseph Ribera-
Joseph Ribera, a celebrated painter
of the seventeenth century, was an ex-
ample ofgenius which succeeds through
infinite perseverance and tireless indus
try. When he was at the height of his
success and popularity he never gaveup
his habits of close application.
Ribera gave brilliant social enter
tainments, which were attended by the
aristocracy of Naples. He was present
at these parties, but he seldom did the
honors. He would walk about by him
self, or sit looking on for hours, and no
one ventured to disturb his medita-
tions.
1t often happened that, struck by
| the face of some guest. he would sketch
it then and there, and no one thought
of resenting this somewhat eccentric
proceeding for host.
The story of his experience with two
amateur alchemists is more or less IA
miliar, but will bear repetition. Two
Spanish officers called upon him, and
as his compatriots he welcomed them
cordially. The men tried to engage
| him in speculation.
They told him that for years they
had been studying alchemy, that costly
| experiments had exhausted their funds,
and that to utilize their wonderful
! discoveries they were now in need of
large loan of money to buy apparatus.
''Then, gentlemen, you have discov-
cred the famous philosophers stone?
| You possess the secret of making gold?"
asked Ribera.
''We will prove it to you," they re-
piled. IF you will assist us we shall
all be rich
Il thank you," said the artist. ''but
/, too. have the secret of making gold.
! will show you. But first allow me to
finish the picture l was at work on
when you came"
The men waited, much mystifed, and
Ribera finished his picture and sent it
away to a dealer. Presently the mes
! senger returned and handed him the
price of the picture. four hundred du-
cats. What did tell you gentlemen?
Here is the kind OF gold that l can
make. Isn't it the best kind?'
There was nothing more to say to
man who was willing to work for his
money, and could show such tangible
proof of the excellence of his methods.

scared Ont OF n Dakota Variety
show.
Fifteen years ago times were lively
in Dakota. and Fargo was a booming
town Of 1900 people. Half a dozen
theatrical enterprises were in full blast,
and a seventh manager opened a new
house, the m-agniicence Of which far
outshone those of its competitors. The
theater was TO be opened Monday
evening. and that morning. says a wri-
ter In Kate Fields Washington. tho
train from the west brought the great
Sioux chief, Sitting Bull. with a small
party Of IDdianS who were TN route to
Washington to interview the great
father. The new manager secured the
attendance of the warriors for the
opening OF his house, and the hundreds
of "tenderfeet" who had never yet seen
a real Indian in war paint paid fabu-
lous prices for seats
Sitting Bull and his warriore were on
hand early. gaudily arrayed in feathers,
headdress, beaded blankets and wam-
pun. They We're seated at the end of
the center aisle in the space between
the orchestra railing and the front row
of parquet. The red men preserved
their monumental stOiciSm, and
throughout the entertainment not a
smile wrinkled their faces. Each one
Of them carried a short painted stick,
one end Of which was split. Into the
split was thrust a small piece Of look
ingglass. Occasionally the Indians held
the mirror up before their eyes and
took a careful survey of the audience
behind them. This enabled them TO see
what was going on all over the house
without shifting their position. The
closing feature Of the programme was
an act performed by q female trapeze
performer, who was advertised to pos
sess wonderful strength in her jaws.
The stage manager announced that she
would hang suspended from the ira
peZe bar By her knees and uppor a
heavy nno with her teeth while il
was discharged. At sight of the cannon
Sitting Bull and his men began to show
signs of uneasiness. They shifted about
in their seats ~neryously. Two men
lifted the cannon and left it dangling
from the woman's jaws. The muzzle
of the weapon swung on a level with
the Indians h~eaddress.
Sitting Bull and his warriors by this
time had become extremely nervous.
They looked at each other i~nquiringly.
as il ~suspecting that they had been
drawn into a trap and Were TO be de-
iberately slaughtered. They jabbered
TO each other excitedly. and two or
three times so far forgot their stoicism
as to look over their shoulders. Finally,
everything was In readiness; the stage
manager stepped back. gave the string
that he held a jerk. there was a fash
and roar. and out of the cloud of
smoke that shot into the parquet Sitting
Bull and his warriors sprang. wildly
shouting as they made their way down
the aisle. striking madly right and left
with the long-stemn.ed stone pipes
which they carried. No attempt was
made by the audience TO stop the In
dians. who made their way outside and
didn't stop running until they reached
the hotel. For nee the fearless chief
of the Sioux was unneryed.

A TREE IN HIS STOMACH.
What Came From Swallowing q
emo Seed.

A strange case IS puzzling medical
practitioners Of Thrimble, Tenn. John
Henry Leake, a stalwart negro. living
on the plantation of K. L. Strong, a
week or two since ate a lemon and
swallowed one of the seeds, which, 1t
seems. lodged in his stomach, and, at
tracing to ii a certain proportion OF
the food subsequently eaten by him,
was soon surrounded by Il clot or mass
of matter which gradually grew larger
After a short time Leake began to
suffer with acute pains in the region
Of his stomach, and applied to n ply
stefan. who diagnosed his trouble as
Indigestion and proceeded TO treat MIN
for it.
But the pains increased and 1t soon
became a matter of impossibility Tor
the sufferer to retain any food. except
such as was administered in a liluh
form, and the doctor began to suspect
that the cause of the trouble lay be-
yond the ordinary phases OF indigestion,
and declared an operation necessary.
1t was with difficulty that Leake was
prevailed on TO submit TO this, but ne
finally consented.
The surgeons thoroughly explored the
abdomen and intestines, but without
finding any disturbing object. though
was observed that the stomach was dls-
tended to nearly twice its normal size
Leake finally died in great agony
with repeated efforts TO vomit, when
continued until death ensued. A post
