WITH THE WIND.
Mexican Miners Separated the Gold from
the Sand.

Mexican Miners Separated the Gold from
the Sand.
/, Riding near the little placer mining
settlement Dolores. in New Mexico,
said returned tourist, according to
the New York Sun, saw two Mexi-
cans dry washing for gold, and their
proceeding struck me as novel and in
teresting. They were at work in dry
gulch, without sign of water in
sight, and had brought the auriferous
sand in baskets to the mouth of the
ravine, where the wind blew strongly
down the valley. Their washing APP
paratus consisted of a heavy army
blanket, in the center of which they
placed about a peck of the sand; then,
each Mexican taking hold of the
blanket by the corners, they tossed the
sand high aloft again and again.
The wind blew away the fine sand,
while the heavier particles with the
gold fell straight back into the blanket.
When at last they paused there re-
manned in the blanket double hand
full of gravel and heavy sand, in which
glittered few, yellow specks of gold.
As we rode on my Mexican driver tod
me that the two men were probably
making three or four dollars day
during the time they worked, but
that as soon as they had made their
"clean up they would go into Santa
Fe or Cerrillos, sell their gold dust
and squander the last nickel they had
in whisky and monte before they would
go back to the gulch to work.

At the flower market in Washington
are many interesting occurrences which
have nothing to do with buying flow
ers, for there, as at any place where all
sorts of people gather together, human
nature expresses itself in odd and vary
ing ways. A lady from the north, says
the Youths Companion, who was in
the habit of frequenting the market to
see what new floral treasures would
appear from day to day, one morning
spied flower she had never before
seen. "What is that?" she asked of
the old colored woman who had brought
it in. THAT, miss?" was the reply.
That's Dutchman's breeches." Now
the lady had heard the name before,
and was quite aware that there
was nothing funny in it. Never
theless, there was something about
the present moment that amused
her, and she laughed. Just then
gentleman came up and the same
flower attracted his attention. whats
that?" he asked of the woman. She
hesitated and looked distressed. Evil

wrong about the name before, and now
she was asked to say it again. cts

paper has been cleaning from among
the Deeside peasantry some new stories
about her majestyis early visits to her
Highland residence. One of these re-
lates to the boyhood of the prince Of
Wales, says the Scottish American.
The prince on one occasion, when he
had temporarily escaped from the sur
veillance of the parental eye, played a
trick on a young country lad whom he
saw approaching with basket of eggs
on his arm, the result of the trick be-
ing to break all or most of the eggs.
The lad was tough Aberdonian and
could not brook this injury, so he
turned to and doubling his fists gave
the prince thrashing in spite of the
latter's protest that he was the prince
of Wales.
Prince an a though We be-" said the
boy, ''ye'd nae business tae break my
eggs" Just then the queen appeared,
having seen part OF the fray. She
quietly said: ''You are quite right, my
lad; he had no right to break your
eggs and he richly deserves what you
have given him." Her majesty after
ward made inquiries about the boy
and sent him to school at her own ex-
pense.
Another story relates to her majesty's
visit to the cottagers in the neighbor-
hood. On one occasion, when she had
been making calls among the cottage
women, she dropped in, on her way
back to the castle, at the house of an
old woman who did not know her Wis
itor. The old lady was both talkative
and querulous; and, referring to a
fete at which the queen had been pre-
sented that day, complained about peo-
pie, including her own household,
running like mad to see a common
clay woman" Her grievance was that
she had to wait till her folks returned
in order to get their tea, for she was
too feeble to make it herself.

TAUGHT A NEW WAY.
A Trick in Killing Turkeys That Was Not
Altogether Successful.

A young couple from Chicago bor-
rowed farm for week not long ago.
Some friends who own a little place up
in Wisconsin were going away for
visit, and they proposed that the young
couple should look up their fat, bring
their servant with them, and enjoy the
snap of an early winter month in the
country.
They went.
They know more now than they did
then.
The owner of the farm. says the Chi
cago Times, stayed for a day and
showed them about, and the departing
host showed his successor a very tricky
way of killinga turkey. Instead of chop
ping its head off or wringing it in the
old way he took it by the feet and
snapped its head lightly against stone,
as though it had been a whip. The
spinal column was neatly broken with
out any of the struggles and agonies
usually attendant upon the death of a
fowl.
The farmer forgot and locked up all
MS chlckenS, taxing the key With MIN.
Only one turkey gobbler was left at
large.
That night the city man took him by
the feet and snapped his head against
stone. Then he took him to the cook
and told her to give him dry pluck
and let him lie in the icebox until
morning. The next morning screams
of terror awoke the visitors. They
sprang out of bed and ran into the hall.
The cook, praying to all the saints,
was stumbling up the stairs. Stalking
majestically after her came the ghost"
of the gobblcr, without feather on
him. He had only been stunned, and
when the cook lifted the icebox lid in
the morning he had arisen in his
nakedness and gobbled in her face.

CURlOSiTIES OF COMMERCE.

Cinnamon Use Zig Cargoes of Irvine in
Their Cues.
Two or three curiosities of commerce
are mentioned in the report of the
commissioner of customs at Canton.
Wooden goods, says the New York
Journal OF Commerce, are not much in
demand in that latitide, but wooden
cord is now very largely used by the
natives here for plating into their
cues, and the importations of this arti-
Gle are steadily increasing" The i'm
port of kerosene oil at Canton in
creased from three million gallons in
1888 to more than nine million five
hundred thousand gallons in 1891. 1t
is peddled on the street. The empty
cans serve a great variety of uses. The
domestic servant delights in them as
convenient and all-cmbracing recepta-
cles, and readily fashions them into
handy utensils for daily use. They are
converted into lamps, boxes, toys for
children, and all sorts of domestic
articles. Flattened and pieced to-
gether one sees them generally used in
conjunction with the usual mating as
coverings for boats and sheds. They
supply the packing tins in which lard
and ginger are exported. ''The tinware
sent from here to the northern ports
consists largely of lamps, boxes and
various small articles made of old kero-
sene tins and ornamented with lacquer
varnish." Evidently the shipment Of
oil to China in bulk is an expedient of
doubtful value.

While a heavy electrical shower was in
