A Story Of Hlrsch.

One Of the late Baron Hirsch's lido
syncrasies, says the London Daily Cou-
rier, WAS somewhat Of an embarrassment
to the ladies with whom he was ac-
quaintedO though some people might
not have objected to it.
The baron had fondness for playing
cards with the ladies he met at country
houses and losing money to them. Not
a few sixpences either, but el0, ego,
$50 at sitting.
At first sight there may not seem any
thing very embarrassing i'll this. But
the fact is that the baron would take
pains to lose, and it was a common
thing for onlookers to say that such and
such lady with whom he was playing
bezique, or whatever the game might
be, would be richer that evening by $50
Or SO.
Fairly won, no lady would object
perhaps.
But the baron would carefully stop,
or play badly, just SO as to leave his
opponent the victor, and then what he
really enjoyed was pulling out a few
bank notes and passing them over.
Not very vicious taste i'll u multi
millionaire. Still, it is not every lady
in society who can take what is prac-
tically present Of money without feel
ing uncomfortable.
The worst of it was that the baron
was such bad hand at deception.
Everybody knew his little game.

ST LOUIS, Aug. l2.-In a Missouri
Pacific freight car, which arrived here
yesterday, were man named Wilson,
his wife and two daughters They
hailed from Burton, Kan, and were
upon their way to Hinton, W. Va.
They had in the car jug of water, a
basket of food and several blank
cts. Wilson told q reporter he
had emigrated from West Virginia
to Kansas and had failed to make
a living there. He wished to return
but had only $50 in The world. He and
his family had managed to ride thus
far for almost nothing. The trainmen
did not know any passengers were
aboard until a brakeman discovered
the Wilson's 100 miles out of this city.
He became their friend and helped
them. Wilson said he thought his $50
would pay the fare of himself and his
family from Cincinnati to their destina-
ton, provided they could reach the city
mentioned

A Salvation Army Riot.
BELLEvILLE, ILL.,, Aug. 12.-The Sal
walton army disturbances, which have
extended over period of months, Gull
minated last night in the worst riot
that has ever occurred. The soldiers
took their stand on the steps of the
courthouse and for two hours held
their position against the mob. They
were hurled down the stone steps
countless times and many were
roughly handled. Their flags
were torn, and they were subjected to
great abuse. The mob was led by
Hans Schwarz, who mounted a pillar
and harangued the crowd to acts of
greater violence. Police protection
was appealed for and refused, but later
Capt. Yiaekel and squad drove the
crowd away and compelled the army
to go to its barracks. Threats of re-
newed violence are freely made.

~ was at Honfeur one summer"
sc:d Mr.. Flagg, "when the Daubignys-
father and sCu-were there. have al
ways thought Daubigny Sle strongest
and sanest landscape painter in the Bar
bizon group, and it was interesting to
see how he worked and how he taught
his son. This son was man Of brilliant
talent, who died soon after, unfortu-
nately. He would take an enormous
canvas out into the field and cover it III
an hour and half-this was to get
composition, massing Of light and shade,
etc.-and then his father would como
and criticise it. Some of these big swift
things were shown i'll the salon after
ward. The painters used to contribute
in one way or another to the fine old inn
where we stopped, and the landlord
wanted young Daubigny to paint the
panel of a certain door. At last the
painter promised to do it the next morn
ing. I resolved to see that thing done,
SO 1 got up before dawn, planted myself
in the old dining room at good point
of view and pretended to sketch from
the window. Pretty soon young Dau-
bigny came down profcssed to be not in
the least disturbed by me, so l staid.
He sat down i'll front Of tho door and
looked at it hard for an hour or so.
Then he got up and viewed it from diff
ferent angles Then he gazed at it from
the end of the room. Then he sat down
again. The hours came and went, and
still he was studying that door, with
scarcely pause for meals. By afternoon
was nearly wild; if he didn't open his
paintbox soon, would smash the door.
At last, at the beginning Of twilight,
presto!-I was too excited to see. All
in o minute few lightnings flashed out
from him, and there was the miracle!
And breathlessly realized that he had
been painting that picture all day. -

Vegetable Flowers.

The far famed vineyards Of the Rhine
arc q great disappointment to tourists
who see them for the first time. Vine
clad hills may have pleased the poets,
but apart from the sentiment aroused
by the remembrances Of the exaggera-
tons Of such writer's they are not in
tercsting and it is difficult to see how
any one could have raved over their
beauty. "a potato field is better" said
one disenchanted traveller. Many flow
ers produced by ediblcs are worthy Of
place in our gardens. The scarlet run
ner is too well known to need common
dation. An innovation recently seen is
what is known as the broad bean. Farm
ers use them for food for cattle, though
they arc considered a table delicacy in
foreign countries. The flower is one Of
the most peculiar seen in the vegetable
world, being white with jet black mark
ings. The white being as pure as that
of the sweet pea, the effect is striking.

MAKING A MINE.
In Some Instances 1t Costs NOthing-In
Others tho Cost Is Millions.


Others tho Cost Is Millions.
There are no hard and fast rules in
regard to making mine from the time
it passes into the prospector's hands I'M
til it becomes dividend payer. Many
mines are such, as the miners say,
''from the grass roots" and turn out
large quantities Of ore from the begin
ming.
J. B. Haggin, the millionaire mine
owner, took 50, 900, 900 from the Custer
mine, in Lemhi county, Ida, before
it became necessary to use candle
(giant powder). This mine was known
as the Mineral mountain A man came
along one day, and after looking at it
remarked, "Why, the hanging wall is
gone. " This was true. Nature had as
sisted the miner in this case; the noun
tain side had been eroded, leaving the
mineral standing there. Mr.. Haggin
also spent about So, 900, 600 in develop
ing the Anaconda mine before it was on
q paying basis.
Mines have been discovered contain
ing fabulous wealth, although a pros
pector would starve to death in trying
to work them. This was true i'll regard
to the Eomestalle mine, in the Black
Hills. The prospectors who made the
discovery could do nothing with it, and
it passed into the hands Of Senator
Hearst and other California capitalists.
They concluded that, unless it was
worked on large scale, it could not be
made profitable. An so stamp mill was
ordered and shipped in from Cheyenne,
at a cost of $135, 600, as an experiment.
The mine has paid in dividends $37, 500
a month for II years.
1t requires large amount of money
usually to put mine on a dividend
paying basis, and, as q rule, this the
prospector cannot do, although prospect
ors have made fortunes with their prop
critics. Spokane Spokcsman-Reviow.

Morton Is Sad.

"The silver sentiment is universal all
over tho west, said Secretary Morton,
land it is growing. So many trimmers
think it is going to win that they are
jumping that way. There is no hope Of
olecting gold candidates anywhere in
the west, and right there in San Fran
cisco, where they have more than q
hundred millions Of gold coin i'll the
vaults of their banks, where deposits are
paid in gold by specific contract, and
where greenbacks have never been good
enough for them, the people are crying
for so cent silver dollars. California is
not a silver producing country. 1t is a
gold producing country, and it is ex-
traordinary that the people Of that state
should prefer silver money to gold.
They are willing that a silver miner in
Colorado shall get the same amount OF
good out Of 90 cents worth of silver
that a gold miner in their own state
gets for 100 cents of gold. The gold
miner may work all day and the silver
miner half day, and both will get the
same wages if the l6 to policy is car
ried ont, and yet the Californians seem
to be crazy for it. Washington Post.
