North Dakota Democrats.

JAMESTOWN, No. OAK, June A..
There is little probability that the
democrats OF North Dakota, who as
semblcd here IN state convention, to-
day, for the purpose of selecting dele
gates TO The Chicago convention. will
follow the example Of their brethren OF
South Dakota in declaring for sound
money. On the contrary, the lndica-
tions are that the silver contingent will
have everything Its own way. There
is. however. well organized. oppo-
sition to the free silver movement, and
as The financial contest is somewhat
complicated with othee local political
assues, 1t is possible that the white
metal adheren,s may be induced 10
temper their views.

mains unsettled in the conference CON-
mittee.
The senate refused to agree to the

AN ARTFUL APPEAL.

A MendiCant Who Succeeds In Extracting
Silver From PAssersby.
An illustration of the depth to which
one woman has sunk Tor risen) in the
art OF begging may be seen any evening
after dark on the down town streets of
Chicago. This woman has no favorite
street. She simply plays them all. usu-
ally side streets, where the young man
with bis best girl as often glides
through because the crowds are not so
dense or the lights so brilliant
This woman has two confederates
who dress and act like laboring men.
Each carries his little tin pail. and each
shows evidence of having been hard at
work. A young society man and his girl
walk slowly along. Indifferent to the
world. Neither hears the almost inau-
dible appeal for help. AS the young cou-
pie pass the mendicant the men with
their tin pals and gimy hands stop
short and block the way.
Let's chip in a nickel apiece and
help that poor, starving creature" says
one of them.
''All right, Joe, I'll do it. earned
an extra quarter today, and can just
spare q nickel"
This not only attracts the attention
OF the lovers, but it brings tears to the
eyes Of the girl, and involuntarily the
thought flashes through the young man 4
mind that if two labOrers can give up @
portion of their hard earned money he
can part with at least 90 cents and Of
tener more, owing largely to what sort
OF an impression he wants to make upor

HOW PEOPLE REST.

some Races Sit and Lie Down, While 9th
ers Crouch and Kneel.
There is wide difference in the modes
followed by the various races OF the
world in taking their rest. 1t seems to
the American that by far the most sat
isfactory way to do it is either to sit or
lie down, but there are millions OF hui
man beings that rest quite as well IN
quite different way.
The most barbarous races crouch and
kneel when resting and do it so COM
fortably that they sleep in those pos
lures as easily as an American does in
bed. The lower classes among the Him.
docs and some Of the South American
races sleep thus. the men usually crouch
ing and the women kneeling.
In the next higher grades of civiliza-
ton those positions give way to sitting
with crossed legs. This is the sitting
| posture of the Mussulman and the Pa
| cihc island races, as is we'll known In
some Persian houses, however, it is no;
unusual TO see the inhabitants and
guests ranged about a room kneeline
against the wall.

Ore Treatment.

A process has been Brought forward
in Sweden. by Ohm and Loftrand, for
extracting gold or bismuth from ores by
means Of melted lead. The process can
be applied to mineral mixtures contain
ing. for example, iron ores, limestone,
bismuth, native gold, quartz, or sill
Gates, and even when the mixtures are
SO poor in gold and hsmuth that 1t
would otherwise be unprofitable TO work
them. The method now brought forward
consists in placing the ores in bath OF
melted lead, keeping it as free as posi-
BILE from any contact with the air. To
gold ores which contain little or no bis
muth enough of the latter substance is
added to reduce the melting point of the
alloy as far as possible, in this way pre-
venting oxidation of the alloy and loss
of metal which would otherwise result
The bath made use of for this purpose
is filtered through a cylinder, the bot
tom of which consists of a perforated
sheet of metal covered with a layer Of

Spoons Free to All.

read in the Christian Standard that
Miss A NJ. Fritz, Station A., st. Louis,
Mo-, would give an elegant plated
hook spoon to any one sending her ten
2-cent stamps. 1 sent for one and
found it so useful that / showed it to
my friends, and made $l3 in two hours,
taking orders for the spoon. The hook
spoon is a household necessity. 1t can
not slip into the dish or cooking yes
sci, being held in the place by hook
on the back. The spoon is something
housekeepers have needed ever since
spoons were first invented. Amy one
