Saws lie is Able 10 Make Gold.

Benjamin Brazelle, of st. Louis, No.,
scientist and inventor, claims to have
solved not only the problem of the
transmutation of metal, but OF the
transmutation of clay into gold, silver,
iron and other metals. More than this,
he claims to have discovered the true
source of electricity, and says that by
it he is enabled to work the marYels
he has in store for the futuSe. ALI the
known laws OF chemistry are to be
revolutionized and the dreams of al.
chemists are to become practical reali-
ties. By actusl test, Mr.. Brazelle
asserts, he has changed silver into
gold and gold into silver. The trans
mutation of metals he considers the
most insignificant part OF the discover
les he has made-a mere nothing in
comparison with tho feat of changing
clay into gold, silver, iron, calcium,
aluminium, glaucinium and fifteen
other metals not known to science,
whose qualities have not yet been de-
termined by the diseoVerer.
Mr.. Brazelle advances the theory
that metals are endowed with life and
grow the same as any plant when placed
under the proper conditions. A com
pany backed by strong capital has be-
gun the erection of a plant at Fairlawn
st. Louis, TO test Mr.. Brazelle discov'
cries. Chicago Record.

CLERKS Celebrate Their Promotions.

al do not know when it was started"
observed an old War Department
clerk, ''but for tho past forty years /
clerk to celebrate his promotions in
salary by handing around cigars to HIS
fellow.clerSs in the same division. 1t
was simple enough matter when
first entered the War Department, but
now, when some divisions have hun
dreds of clerks, it is rather a serious
affair. Woe be to the clerk who hands
around poor cigar on such an occa.
sion. The cigars must be of the best.
The proper thing OF late years is to let
a messenger hand the cigars around,
with the compliments OF the donor,
though in olden times the promoted
clerk always handed them about per-
sonally. The box must go with the
cigars, 80 that every one can see exact
ly what kind of cigar is being dealt
out. The saw, "a man is known by the
company he keeps, has been for such
occasions turned into "a man is known
by the cigars he hands around The
same OF q similar custom may exist in
some of the other departments, though
/ have never heard OF it. The cases
have been rare where promoted clerks
do not celebrate. Now and then clerks
give dinners and suppers to the clerks
in their own room on occasions of this
kind, but the cigars have to go around

bration perfectly regular. Washing

To understand how to rest is OF
more importance than TO know how to
work. Tho latter can be learned
easily; the former it takes years to
learn, and some people never learn the
art OF resting. 1t is simply a change
of scenes and activities. LoAhng may
not be resting Sleeping is not always
resting. Sitting down for days with
nothing to do is not restlul. A change
is needed to bring into play different
set of faculties, aud to turn the life
into channel. Tho man who

II is strange, maryels the New York
Tribune, that American business men
persist in packing goods carelessly and
unintelligently for export TO Mexico
andGouth American countries mas
much as d y are constantly told that
they are thereby hurting their market.
The United States Consuls in Mexico
hsvo again called attention to this
matter, but their warnings will prob
ably be unheeded. II the American
merchants don't want the market of
the Western Hemisphere, very we'll.
But il they do, then it is surely worth
their while TO pay attention to the
idiosyncrasies of the people whose
trade they seek.

A correspondent of London paper
laments the ''swaggering nomencla-
ture ofsthe British Navy" Another
correspondent suggests that such
names as Bouncer and Insolent. which
have erewhile adorned the list, should
be replaced by something in a differ
ent tone-the Ritualist, for instance,
or the Thoughtful Radical. Some
years ago a classical poet in England
likened the lronclad TO rhinoceros,
and it is rather a wonder that the Ad-
miralty have not before this adopted
the name of that powerful and self'as-
serting animal. These are his lines /:
o Concentration OF brute force,
Rhinoceros Of the deeps!
o ugly Delos, on whose shores
No soft Latona sleeps!
Scant room in thee for birth or loyo
Mid Monsters furnace born,

A soNo OF RIGHT.

Faint fatalists will shiver
Behind their coward creeds,
When like a mighty river
The newborn phalahx speeds,
All hearts on ilre With one desire
To win by noble deeds.
For whore the earth was sodlsn
With many bitter tears
From those whom Might had trodder
With iron heels for years,
Aspirlt bright, the prince Of Right,
A temple fair uprears.
And In its precincts holy
None shall have hardIhood
To claim abovethe lowly
A place for birth and bloc !,
Fofnone shall rise at any price,
Except by doing good.
