Now that the work of the Fifty-thlrd
congress has become matter Of rec
ord and a revised tariff schedule is in
working order 1t is somewhat amusing
to observe the different attitudes OF the
two great parties with reference to the
results made during those fateful
months when the ponderous wheels.
(also the small ones, too,) of the great
mill OF legislation revolved so slowly.
Neither OF the two great parties are
satisfied The Republicans claim that
every reduction In the tarifr Is wrong.
while the Democrats, though not ex-
actly satisfied with the results tending
toward free trade, nevertheless think
that they have guided the rudderless
snip OF state out OF the straits into
placid waters, and now with a favora-
PIE breeze she will land safely info

great quandary and is afraid that the

Indian Coronets.

American women who long for coro-
nets should hesitate before accepting In
dian ones. The case Of an English woman
who sued for divorce from her Hindoo
husband points a moral. She alleged
cruelty as ground for her suit, and it
is claimed that the same plea might be
made by nearly all the women who mar
ry orientals and go home with them.
AS usual thing, the oriental gentle
man pursuing his studies at an English
or American university is picturesque
figure. He is likely to be very clever,
and it is taken for granted that he is a
prince at least, when he is at home. He
is popular with his fellows, and through
one of them he meets and marries a
pretty, freely brought up girl. Then he
takes her home.
She may not meet with unkindness
from her husbands family, for the ori-
entails have many amiable and attractive
qualities, and they are not cruel. But
if the husband hns not cut himself adrift
from the religion and ties of his child
hood his wife must conform to a certain
extent to the ordinary life of the native
woman. And, inasmuch as she will
only do this so far as her love and duty
to her husband oblige her, she will GER
tainly fail to satisfy her new relatives
and will be looked on with coldness and
suspicion r - CIV York World.

Gold Separation.

What is claimed to be the most advan-
tageous process for the separation of fine
gold in placers comes from Montana. 1t
is a dry process, designed especially for
localities distant from sufficient water
for other methods, the ore or gravel be-
ing run through erusher or steam dri-
er, after which it is dumped into the
hopper Of the separator. Dropping from
this, it strikes a powerful blast Of air,
which carries it between two sets Of
slowly revolving copper cylinders coated
with one-sixteenth of an inch of mer-
curry.
These cylinders are placed in two lines
of three each, one above the other, so
that the dust, driven by the air blast,
passes between them in a wavelil1e line.
The ore first strikes a cylinder similar
to the others, but revolving in an oppo-
site direction, which catches the coarser
gold and the nuggets. Then, passing
between the other cylinders, all the gold
is caught, however fine, and the waste
is carried by the air blast to conveyor,
which bears it away. The mercury on
the cylinders is constantly renewed, so
that fresh surface is always presented,
and it is asserted that the process has
been subjected to such various tests,
and so successfully, as to demonstrate
its peculiar adaptability to the class of
work in question New York Sun.

CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT DOGS.

Eskimos Find the Faithful Animal q Ne
cessIty of Their Miserable Existence.
without dogs the larger portion of
the great Eskimo family peopling the
barren northern coast of America would
find it impossible to exist in its chosen
home" So writes E. w. Nelson in his
Mammals of Northern Alaska" They
are used in the winter for hunting,
sledge drawing and the like, but in sum-
mer are mostly left TO shift for them
selves. They receive much hard usage,
as we'll as do much hard work, but are
described nevertheless as a rollicking
set, full of play, fond of human society
and quarrelsome as schoolboys.
Mr.. Nelson credits them with vein of
humor and declares that their varying
characteristics can be read in their faces.
They are worth from 80 to $40 apiece, ac.
cording to age, size and intelligence.
For sledge drawing they are harnessed
in teams of either seven or nine-three
or four pairs and leader. The load il
from $50 to 700 pounds, and the course 10
mainly through unbroken snow or over
rough ice. With a team of seven dogs
and load of more than 300 pounds Mr..
Nelson made journey of more than
1900 miles in about two months. The
last 90 miles were made over bad road
in continuous pull of 81 hours. They
are much affected by the moon. During
full moon half the night is spent by them
in bowling in chorus.
During the entire winter at st. Mi
chael's," says Mr.. Nelson, 1--WE were inva-
riably given a chorus every moonlight
night, and the dogs of two neighboring
villages joined in the serenade." He
speaks of its "wild, weird harmony"
and seems to have found it agreeable
rather than otherwise. The influence of
the moon is also very apparent when the
dogs are travelling. They brighten up
as the moon rises, and pricking up their
ears start off as if they had forgotten
their fatigue. The fur traders take ad-
vantage of this fact and sometimes lie
over during the day and travel at night.
The dogs endure an astonishing degree
of cold. Mr.. Nelson saw female with
two newly born puppies lying upon the
snow near a hut, with no sign of shelter,
when the thermometer ranged from 80
to 35 degrees below zero.

Nervous Singers.

The effects of nervousness are varied
and amusing. One young mezzo soprano
was prevented just in time from walking
on to the platform in q huge pair of fur
lined overshoes, which were put on above
her slippers, and which contrasted com
ically with her dainty gown.
Another songstress, who was gifted
with a good verbal memory was singing
without note. During rather elaborate
symphony preceding the second verse Of
her song she CHANGED idly to glance at
the book of words which she was hold
ing. Confusion followed. She could not
link the melody with the poem. 1t was
a terrible moment, but she estepped swift
ly to the piano, glanced at the accom-
panist's copy and finished her song con
amore. 1t appeared on inspection that
by printers error two lines of her song
had been left out of the book of words.
This had confused her and was the cause
of her failure to blend words and music
together. .-Atalanta.

TRIALS OF A TICKET MAN.
He Can Endure All but she Questions of
People Who Never Travel.

People Who Never Travel.
A prominent Pittsburg passenger
agent, in q conversation with reporter
Of that city, gave few interesting facts
relative to the everyday experience of
the average city passenger man, which
those not directly connected with tho
business know nothing about. He said;
'It is a singular fact the number of
people who visit our Office daily and the
curious questions they ask with regard
to railroad rates, ETC., when very often
they have no notion whatever of leaving

years there has been very singular char

he cometh or whittier he goeth, but he
always asks the selfsame questions and
goes away apparently satisfied with tho
information he has received. / always
expect him in the springtime, generally
about the 1st of April, when the suns
rays grow warmer.
"Then my quaint old friend comes to
see me. l should judge him to be at
least 80 years of age. He is stopped and
feeble, with hair as white as snow, but
well dressed, wears silk hat and carries
a cane and talks in o nervous, jerky
manner. He invariably opens up with,

man would tell his story, it might have
a tinge of pity in it. Perhaps he has a
son or daughter in the Hub City whom it
has been his cherished hope to see for all
these years.
"The biggest out and out nuisance we
have to deal with are persons who come
here with no other intention than to col
lect all the railroad literature they can.
They have no notion of going away, but
thay grab everything in sight in the way

"Then the man who travels from one

time table of the line he is about to
take. 1t is given him, of course, and
without so much as glancing at the
schedule it is stuffed into his pocket,
and his next question is, When does my

FRESNO. April 1.-THE second trial OF
Richard S. Heath, charged with muir
dering Louis B. McWhirter in August,
1892, ended this morning, when the
jury reported that they were unable to
reach verdict. As the jury had been
deliberating SS hours, no one was sur
prised at their disagreement. They
stood 10 for conviction and for ac-
quittal. The Jurors for scquittal were
T. G. Bratton and Launcelot Gilroy.
The spectators and court officials all
treated the matter with seeming indif-
ference and regarded it as a matter OF
course.
There is no doubt that Heath will
have to undergo third trial. The SEN
timent OF the people demands such a
course, though Heath's friends are nat
urally anxious TO have the case dis
missed.
The holding out of the two men is in
accordance with prediction to that
effect made before the case had been
given to the jury. Heath was visited by
a number of his friends after being
taken from the court room to the Jail,
among them Judge Harris, W. D.
Grady, Harry Lane, the man who hung
the former jury and took great interest
in the trial just closed Jurors Bratton,
Gilroy and others. Heath was in bet
ter spiritB, the suspense being over, but
is OF course not satisfied with the out
come of the trial.
