what Her Descendants Might Have Had
In Interest From Them.

A woman recently died in aneighbor-
ing town, and besides granddaughter
and her cynical husband she.left few
relatives and $50 in gold, with other
things. The woman was over 80 when
she died, and the $50 included her wed
ding presents. Like many persons IN
those days, she held fast TO the shining
eagles and lad had them for nearly a.
years WIZ she died. of course the
birds were distributed among the heirs

speculated in his mind what might have

yet, and his constant query is, II grand'
mother had only put that $50 III the
bank when she first got it, what clutch

He unused On this as he got ready on
cold mornings to go to work, and his
favorite topic of thought was sug gosted
as he jingled a nickel and bunch of
keys looking for his car fare Tiicn he
began to figure that money at & PER cent

sleep as he thought how many times / |
years went into n years. When the
cynical husband finally referred the
question of his losses to bank man, nc
learned that in so years the $50 in gold
would have amounted to LIB 60.
Without figuring any further ON the
problem, the bank man said he would
easily consider that $40, 900 was lost by
saving the $50.
1t is not an unusual thing in some OF
the old banks to have an account doubled
many times over and over again. One
day last week in the Worcester county
institution for savings an account was
reckoned at S2l4.03 which originally
was but $40 65. Nothing has ever beer
added to or taken from the bank account,
and it was left TO accumulate. 1t took
about 90 years for the original sum to
gather all that moss. There was anoth-
or instance in the same bank where
thirty-one times the original sum was

The Sierra NevaSas.

DR.. Turner, who has made the geolo-
gy Of the Sierra Nevada long time
study, has published monograph in
which he asserts, with plausible reason
ing, that the many kinds of rock char
acteriZing that formation have been
formed in part by deposition beneath
the sea, and in part by intrusion as ig-
neous masses, also by eruption from
volcanoes, and portions of them have
been subsequently metamorphosed.
While the southern portion Of the range
is composed Of granite, he finds that the
central aud northern part, west of longi-
tude 100 degrees, consists prevailiugly
of schists, these having been produced
by intense metamorphism of both an
cient sediments and igneous rocks, and
1t is in these schists, chiefly though not
solely, that the auriferous quartz veins
occur.
Further, the trend Of the bonds of al
tered sediments and Of their schistose
structure is generally from northwest
to southeast, parallel to the trend of the
range, but great masses OF granite and
other igneous rocks have been intruded
among the schists, forming irregular
bodies, which interrupt tho regular
structure and which are generally Dor
dered each by a zone Of greater meta
morphism. These schists, with their as
ISOLATED igneous masses, form the older

nized in the Sierra Nevada.

Russia, England, India.

India is admittedly the brightest jewel
in Queen Victoria's crown, but it is not
the only one. The possessions of Great
Britain are found in every quarter of the
globe. Her commerce, Oh which her
home population is increasingly depend
emit, enters every sea and threads every
important river. Her influence, if not
supreme. is yet powerful among all civ
ilized nations, and among some that
are not civilized. In all that pertains to
the real progress Of mankind, England
still leads tho van. Her interests, there
fore, are those of civilization itself. The
same cannot be said Of Russia. In all
that is most precious to the statesman
and philanthropist, Russia is centuries
behind, and her aggrandizement, what
ever it may mean for the tribes of CEN
trail Asia, cannot mean progress to the
world at large.
Russia seated at Constantinople would
mean Russia dominant in the councils
of Europe. 1t would mean her attain

which we poured out SO much blood and

HE WAS FOND OF OYSTERS.
And Having the Chance BaEgained For q

And Having the Chance Bazg.ined For Q
Fun Square Meal Of Them.
There was q man who lived in the far
west. He had never eaten any oysters
except canned ones, and after eating
those he said:
II would much rather eat the cans.
They taste just the same and are cheap
er."
He was western business man, but
one night his chief competitor held up
O straight flush. So the man became
bankrupt and went to live with his un-
Gle in Baltimore. The first night he was
there his uncle gave him "a dozen
raws." The man took up the first one
ON his fork and tasted it gingerly. Then
a look of perfect bliss came over his
face. At that moment he half believed
himself in heaven. But his eye fell up
on his uncle and he knew that that
could not be-for he knew his uncle
very we'll.
From that day the man lived for
nothing but oysters. He threw away the
little cabinet where he formerly Kept
his whisky and put an icebox in its
place. He would wake up in the night
murmuring. saddle rocks" and when
he admired woman very much, he
would call her ga perfect blue point. -
But he never could get as many oysters
rs he wanted. There was always some
thing which interfered with his eating
his fill. So one day he slipped away
from his friends and went down to an
oyster boat. He hailed the captain and
asked:
"How much will you charge for as
many oysters as can eat?"
Tho captain looked at him, and saw
that he was not largo man, and that
2utwardly he bore no resemblance to a
cold storage warehouse.
Zone dollar and half, "he said.
The man gave the captain the money,
and sat down at q table. Then the cap
tain opened oysters for him. All the
morning the captain opened oysters,
ind q great crowd of people gathered
about to watch the man eat and to bel
ON the result. Atnoon the captain faint.
ed from overexertion, and the first mate
took his place. As the dusk of early
evening was creeping over the water
the man arose from his seat, and with
the help Of admiring bystanders stag.
gered across the heaps of shells and van.
ished in the crowd, which opened TO,
him to pass.
Then the captain opened his eyes and
gazed wildly about the deck. He rose,
and leaning weakly against chair back
surveyed the scattered remnants of his
stock in trade.
II am ruined, ruined, ruinedr' he
said hoarsely.
"You have dollar and a half on
which to begin life again." said the
first mate. "My wages for today amount
to one dollar and half. Begin life
honestly by paying your debts.''
The man from the far west died that
evening, but he died happy. His las,
words were:
