A Mexican named Juan Carrillo.
living near the line, in the southern
part of this c,nnty, has made one
of the most unique and valuable
discoveries of the century. ',
For many years there have been
known to exist in the vicinity OF
his ranch, gold placers, but owing
to the fact Of the fneness of the
particles of gold it was never profit
able to work them by the usual
process of sluicing or with rocker,
the gold passing over the rifles in
stead Of being caught and held by
them.
Below the spot where the pros
pecting was usually carried on was
a saline deposit usually called
Click" where cattle aud sheep,
would lick the clay and thereby
derive the necessary emount Of salt
to assist the process Of digestion.
Lately Mr.. Carrillo set apart
num- Der of cattle to be fattened for
beef, and for the purpose of drying
the meat for winter use. A few
davs ago, being in need of fresh
beef he concluded to kill one that
had been kept in the pasture where
the lick was situated. After cut
ting the meat up and preparing
some for drying, he had the
stomach prepared in the usual
manner, for tripe. Upon submit :.
ting it to the customary process OF
he discovered the entire
lining Of the stomach filled with
some hard substance which COM
pleteiy filled part Of the spcngy
folds which form the source of the
gastric. juices. A closer examina-
ton disclosed the fact that the
substance was gold, and upon care
fully saving and afterward washing
the product h. found he had nearly
four ounces of the precious metal.
The salt in the earth had chlori-
diced the gold and the inner lining
of the stomach had acted, in saving
the metal, very much like coarse
blanket in the bottom Of sluice.
Mr. CarriIlo next experimental
with sheep i'll the same manner and
found the result very much the
same only the quantity OF gold vas
less.
Instead of giving his stock salt
as formerl5, he periodically turns
them or to the click" and when be
requires anything not produced on
his ranch he simply Kills beet or
mutton, takes the gold out of the
stomach and exchanges it at the
neorest store for whatever he
wants. Bulletin.

A Failure.

A certain professor in one Of the lead
ing schools of this city was not long
since desifous of Incorporating some
negro dialect in story he was prepar-
ing. Not being very well versed in their
manner of speech, he bethought him
that it would be good idea to study
the language in its purity undefiled.
With this end in view he betook himself
to the vicinity of the Union depot, near
which representatives of the ebon race
are always to be found.
One effort was enough. Meeting q
coal black negro driving wagon rather
well loaded and accosting him as
"Unole John" the following brief dia-
logue ensued:
Pretty heavy load. uncle. Can you
get up the hill with tip
II do not know, sir, but I presume
so.
Such an example Of pure and unde-
filed English coming from such an un-
expected source almost paralyzed the
professor, who muttered something
about the "6egeneracy Of the modern
negro, and, mentally deciding to con.
suit the works Of "Uncle Remus," he
retraced his steps to his apartments. =

Gcnghis Khan's Dominions.

Mrs. Mary Shears Roberts, in her Sc
ries of Historic Dwarfs'' in st. Mich

service Gf GeEghis Khan. Mrs. Roberts
says:
After the great Monaghan had con-
Quered C!sina, Persia and all central

STA and numerous other potentates were
compelled to pay tribute to Genghls
Khan, a.:i they were all obliged to
make the long journey to Karakorum in
person or by their representatives.
This town. the capital of the largest
empire that ever existed, was little
more than city of tents. It afterward
became the residence of the famous
Kublai Kan, as Marco Polo tells us,
but every vsstige Of it has disappeared.
Genghis Khan at last retired from
active service to lead quiet life In the
enjoyment Ct the wealth he had &C.
quired at the expense Of 90 much toll
and blood. The numerous khans and
generals were commanded to return,
and they came back incumbered with
the spoils of war. They all assembled
on vast plain some 30 miles in extent,
and, according to one historian, even
this great field could scarcely contain
all the tents of the countless hosts. The
emperor's quarters alone were six miles
around. An enormous white tent capa-

POCKETS.

Thirty Of Them Made In . Pair Of
Breeches Of the Year 1911.
Perhaps the best proof Of the advance
Of the Japanese in civilization is to be
found In their use Of pockets. The peo-
ple Of that country have usually six OF
eight pockets cunningly inserted in the
cuffs Of their wide sleeves These peck
cts are always filed with curious mis-
cellany. As common as the Irvine In tbs

essential seldom missing is number Of
small squares Of silky paper. These are
put to unexpected uses, such as to hold
the stem of lily or lotus, to dry tea
cup or to wipe away tear. Among the
Chinese and other nations pouch is
used instead Of pocket. This was also
the case in western Europe In the mid
die ages and for some time afterward.
The pouch was attached to the girdle,
along with dagger and rosary. It was
called an aulmoniere or gipciere. TWAS

gold and silk threads, coats Of arms and
religious sentences A dramatist Of the
time Of Henry VIII wrote:
From my girdle he plucked my pouch;
By your leave he left me never a penny.
Brooches, however, had pockets at an
early date. In an old play written about
1911 it Is mentioned that man had his
breaches plated as if they had 80 peck
cts. But pockets did not attain their
proper position until the adoption Of
the modern style Of mems garments.
With waistcoats great opportunity for
pockets presented itself. Later they were
made very broad and deep and were
covered with embroidery and buttons.
In the reign of George III waistcoat
pockets reached such size in England
that they became objects Of ridicule, 50
that they soon began to resume more
moderate proportions. New York Post.

WHY She Was Sorry.

Why She Was Sorry.
"Let us kiss and make up"
As he spoke he made step forward.
The young girl hesitated moment and
then fell into his outstretched arms.
It had been only lovers quarrel.
but while it lasted they had been both
very unhappy. AS they remained in
each others embrace they felt moved
by different emotions. He felt that
while he had been in the right he yet
might have been rather hasty. Besides,
he loved the girl, and that should have
made him more considerable, even
though she had been entirely in the
wrong.
She, too, was sorry. But it was not
because they had quarreled. for her
won,anly intuition told her that he
loved her and would be only too happy
to be reconciled.
To kiss and make up was the supreme
bliss to him, but to her it was differ
emit. The kissing part was all right

his arms and noticed that the collar of
his coat was covered with lily white
and rouge she was sorry she had ever
made up.-New York Sunday World.

CASAN, THE TARTAR DWARF.


\ Eisrce XAttle Moneolian Who Lived
Centuries Ago.
In the series Of papers on " Historic
Dwarfs," In st. Nicholas, Mary Shears
Roberts describes the famous Casan.
Mrs. Roberts says;
Casan was the name Of little Mon
gol Tartar who fourished In the early
part of the thirteenth century.
He was born in the eastern part of
Asia, not far from the ancient city Of
Karakorum. His parents belonged to
one of the barbarian hordes that owed
allegiance to Genghis Khan, and Oasan
became fierce though small warrior
and fought bravely under the banner Of
the great and mighty Mongol conqueror.
The exact height Of this little dwarf
is unknown. He was certainly not over
three feet tall. but he was active and
muscular and, like all his race, could
endure hunger, thirst, fatigue and cold.
The Tartars were unexcelled In the
management Of their beautiful horses
The feetest animals were trained to
stop short in full career, and to face
without finohing wild beast or formi-
dable foe. Casan was born soldier, and
at an early age became expert in all the
exercises that belonged TO Tartar edu-
cation. He could manage fiery courser
with great skill and could shoot an ar
row or throw lance with unerring
aim. in full career, advancing or re-
treating.
Like many Of those small In stature,
he was anything but puny in spirit.
and while yet lad he gathered about
him troop Of wild young Tartar boys
as reckless and daring as himself, Of
whom by common consent he became
leader. He commanded his lawless
young comrades with strange mixture
Of dignity and energy, and they obeyed
his orders with zeal and willingness.
Sometimes they would go on long hunt
ing expeditions, seldom failing to lay
waste any lonely habitation they hap

Eyoless Animals.

Many of the lower animals are known
to see without eyes, the skin having a
high degree of sensitiveness to light.
Thus earthworms, the maggots Of flies
and eyeless centipeds find their way
about nearly as readily as similar crea-
lures which have eyes. In recent Ger
man work ON the sensitiyeness to light
Of eyeless animals, Dr.. Nagel, who
made his observations chiefly on mol
lusks, found that the eyeless bivalves
and snails he experimental with showed
high degree of constituencies to light.
He found that some species reacted es-
pecially to diminntion, others to in
crease OF light. aud that this difference
was correlated with other characters.
