The Color of Gold.

Most people suppose. says an rs.

fined, but that is not the case. An
experienced man can tell at n glance
from what part Of the globe Il gold
piece comes, and in some cases from
what part of Il particular gold dis.
trict the metal was obtained, SAYS
the Mining Review and Mctallurgy.
Tho Australian gold, for instance,
is distinctly rcdder than the Califor.
nian. and this difference in color is
always perccptahle, even when the
gold is 1000 fine.
Again, the gold taken from the
plucers is ycllowcr than that which is
taken directly from quartz. Why
this should be the case is one of the
mysteries OF motallurgy, for the pluc.
or gold comes from the veins. Tho
Ural gold is the rcddest found any.

woman. lnham.nl.y to Man.

An Atchison wife has had a cruel
truth told her by a heartless doctor.
He said her husband would not live
long unless he got some rest. Last
night, as she sat in an easy-chair and
watched him take of his coat on com.
ing ircm the of,ce. put on u gingham
n 20 to work cheerfuly washing
potatoes for supper and pounding
steak, occasionally stopping to care
for the baby, her heart smote her.
She noticed that he.lecied thin
and careworn and that he brought
the bucket only half full OF water
from the well. She spoke to him kind
ly, and her heart smote her "a second
time when he looked up surprised.
Was it true that in the rush and wor-
ry OF stirring the country upt politi
cal truths she had forgotten to be kind
to him! She kissed him tenderly
when he handed her a cup OF tea at
the table, and his eyes filled with
tears. 1t was so long since he had
heard a tender word. She praised
his biscuits; then he broke down and
cried.
The result Of this tender little
scene was that this morning the
woman cancelled all lecture engage
ments and resigned from all commit.
tees. She realized that since it
would not do to hire a strong girl TO
assist him with the heavy homework.
it would be better for her to stay at
home and aid him by tender sympa
thy and loving words. Oh, wives.
take warning from this little tale.
Speak gently to your husbands ere
the cod sod closes over them. Praise
their coffee and biscuit. A kind word
costs so little and never gets through
