Old Times In California.

In the old California days, one OF
the miners having died, and being
much respected, it was determined
to give him regular funeral. A
digger in the vicinity, who, report
said, had once been a powerful
preacher in the United States, was
called upon to offciate, and after
drinks all round" the party pro
ceeded with becoming gravity to the
grave, which had been dug at dis
lance of 100 yards from the camp.
When the spot was reached the
officiating minister commenced with
an ex tempore prayer, during which
all knelt round the grave. So far all
well, but the prayer was unneces-
sarily long, and at last some of those
who knelt began in an distracted
manner to finger the loose earth that
had been thrown up from the grave.
It was thick with gold, and the ex-
element was Immediately apparent
in the kneeling crowd.
Upon this the preacher stopped,
and inquiringly said:
"Boys, what's that2 Goldm he
continued, land the richest kind of
diggingsl The congregation is dis
missed
The poor miner was taken from his
aJriferous grave and was buried else
where, while the funeral party, with
the parson at their head, lost no time
in prospecting the new diggings.-

Peculiarities of insanity.

The differentiation of tho various
forms Of insanity grows apace, and
the old cry of excessive Technology
and elaborate classification is of no
account. The latest form of mad
ness is reported from the Asylum Of
Sainte-Anne in Paris. The patient SO
affected is regarded as entirely sane
in all respects but two-one, an I'M
comfortable impulse to bark like
dog and to otherwise initiate all the
modulations of the canine voice."
the other, a passion for the number
three" The barking mania, we
take it, is not quite exceptional, for
it is not unusual for epileptics and
idiots to mimic dog banks, and the
passion for number three is by no
means uncommon among the sane.
DR. Oliver Wendell Holmes OBJ
served how frequently men think in
triads. The fact is that few men have
not some popularity of mental habit
known only to themselves, and the
tendency to nominate everything of
the kind a monomania or madness is
absurd. It will have this effect by
and by that madness will not be re-
garded as so grave an affection as in
days gone by.-Medical Press.

as possible, add a teaspoonful of gin

A Worm Controlled by the Ioon.

Samoa, VIII, New Zealand and the
Gilbert islands are the natural habi-
tat Of a vermicular oddly in the
shape of a worm whose every action
is controlled by the phases of the
moon! By the islanders it is called
palolo or mbalolo, a Fijian name
having reference to the coincidence
of its movements with the moon.
These moon eyed" creatures of the
lower order only make their appear
ance at spawning time, usually on
the very day of the last change of
the moon-in October, but only when
that change is a last quarter. Should
this change not occur during the last
days of the tenth month, and fall at
the beginning of November, then an
other lunar month will intervene be-
fore they come from their hiding
places.
Rev. Mr.. Powell, resident mis-
sionary, says that a series of observa-
tons extending over a number Of
years has established connection
between the moons phases and this
creature beyond question. Palolo
was first scientifically described by
DR.. J. FL. Mcdonald in 1957.-St.

The Vanderbilt NIirr1u,r..


One Of the largest banking build
ings in the country is the Lincoln
National bank at Fifth avenue and
Forty-second street. This belongs to
the Vanderbilts. It holds millions of
money and many millions of securi-
ties which represent their wealth.
After the elder Vanderbilt died, and
his property had to be distributed
among his children, it was no small
task to go over the vast number Of
stocks and bonds he left and divide
them up according to the provisions
of the will. Nor was it small mat
ter to distribute the ready money
that was in the bank.
This bank and its operators seem
like a romance of our rapid civiliza-
ton. In sentimental features moth
ing in Europe can compare with it.
In no country on earth except this
could such an institution exist under
similar conditions. In no other land
could a family have had as it's fnan-
cial servant a man who had been a
cabinet minister. Yet when Thomas
L. James ceased to be postmaster
general he anchored himself in the
Lincoln National bank to count the
money and sit as grim fgurehead
upon the stool of the successful oper-
ations Of one man.-New York Jour
nal
