Gold is so very tenacious that .
piece of it drawn into wire one-twen-
tieth of an inch in diameter will sus-
tain a weight of 500 pounds without
breaking. It's malleability is so great
that single grain may be divided into
1000, 900 parts, and a cubic inch into
9,523, S09,523 parts, each of which may
be distinctly seen by the naked eye.
A grain and half of gold may be
beaten into leaves of one inch square,
which if intersected by parallel lines
drawn at right angles to each other,
and distant only one-hundredth part Of
an inch, will produce 25,O0O,000 little
squares, each of which may be dis
tinctly seen without the aid of glass.
The surface of any given quantity Of
gold, according to the best authorities,
may be extended by the hammer 310,-
814 times. The thickness Of the metal
thus extended appears to be no more
than the 56602Oth part of an inch.
Eight ounces of this wonderful metal
would gild a silver wire Of sufficient
length to extend entirely around the
globe.

Our Big Country.

The distance across the United
States is found to be 2,625.2 geograph-
ical miles from the lighthouse six miles
north of Cape May, N. j., to the light
house six miles south of Punta Arenas,
following the thirty-ninth parallel Of
latitude as closely as possible. This Is
conceded to be about the mean breadth
of the country. A glance at the map
will show that the United States Is
much wider toward the north and
much narrower toward the Gulf coast,
but the thirty-ninth parallel is about
as fair an average as can be drawn. The
measurements were made by triangu-
lation-that is, by taking observations
from fixed landmarks and verifying
them by astronomical tests. This dis
lance across the continent thus OBJ
tanned is 140 feet longer than that re-
ported by Bessels in 1856, and 98 feet
longer than that reported by Professor
Clark in 1866.

4 CannY Scot.

A Scotch cobbler, described on the
police books as a notorious offender"
was sentenced by Forfar magistrate
to pay fine of half crown, or, in
default, twenty-four hours hard labor,
says the Scottish American" If he
chose the latter he would be taken to
the jail at Perth. "Then I'll go to
PERTH" he said, for have some bust
ness there" An Official conveyed him
to Perth, but when the cobbler reached
the Jail he said he would pay the fine.
The governor found he would have to
take it. "And now," said the cobbler,
II want my fare home" The COVER
nor demurred, but discovered there
was no alternative; the prisoner must
be sent at the public expense to the
place he had been brought from. So
the canny Scot got the shillings 81
pence which represented his fare, did
his business and went home triumph
ant-twopence halfpenny and rail-
way ride the better for his offense.

LEGALLY SETTLED.
A Dispute Over tho valuo of q MutiIatsd
Mustache

A Dispute Over tho valuo of = Mutilatsd
Mustache.
At the Hull county court yesterday
his honor, Judge Bedwell, gave his de-
cision in the case of Sylvester vs.. Le-
vaggi, which was a claim for $50 dam
ages for an assault on plaintiff, the as
sault consisting of the defendant cut
ting off one Of the waxed ends Of the
plaintiffs mustache, says the Leeds
Mercury. His honor said it was clear
that an assault had been committed,
and a very grave one, for which de-
PENDANT was liable, he should say, for
heavy damages. But fortunately the
plaintiff, having received the assault.
himself accepted most extraordinary
and strange situation, for the defend
ant then volunteered to sacrifice por-
ton Of his own mustache as sort OF
mitigated penalty for the loss the
plaintiff had sustained The plaintiR
thereupon accepted the situation, took
the scissors and cut off portion OF
the defendants mustache. 1t was true
that the plaintiff lost an inch and a
half. 1t was also true that defendant
lost one-eighth of an inch. Oaugh-
teri Looking at the point Of law which
had arisen, the question was the prop
er term to apply to plaintiffs action
in cutting off defendants mustache.
The term waiver" had been suggest
ed, but he thought it was accord and
satisfaction" He was satisfied 1t was,
and it took him back to very little
old case indeed in Dyer" Whenever
the plaintiff has consented to receive,
and has actually received, satisfaction
and recompense for the injury he has
sustained the cause of action Is dis
charged, although the satisfaction and
recompense were not one hundredth
part Of the value of his loss" "In this
case" continued his honor, las do the
fractions, 1t is the twenty-seventh
part. Uaughter) A twenty-seventh
the defendant has given and the plain
tiff accepted. According to the au-
thority Of that case it is accord and
satisfaction and the plaintiff must lose
his verdict. The verdict will there
fore be for the defendant, without

Silk Costumes.

1t is quite possible that many wom-
en- will wear silk gowns this summer.
This is due to the fact that that ma
terial is offered at very low price.
Foulard, although not very new, If
made up carefully, will look we'll, and
can be purchased as low as rs cents
1t comes in soft ground colors with
scrolls of white. Some of the prettiest
show a fine stripe instead of scrolls.
White satin and lace are the best ma
terials for trimming. Ribbon velvet is
also much used, and has quaint, old
fashion air that makes it thoroughly
up to date. A charming gown is of
pearl gray silk with fine hair-line
stripe in black. The skirt is narrow,
with what little fullness it has drawn
to the back. Yet the trimming easily
cvercomes any scant appearance about

Under ordinary circumstances paint,
Ing flowers in water colors isn't a
source of immense profit. Neverthe-
less there Is girl who is reaping q
rich harvest from it. 1t all began in
this way: The young artist was one
Of the bridesmaids at the wedding OF
a wealthy friend and was the lucky
one who caught the brides bouquet
when it was thrown to the maids. The
idea occurred to her that it would be
a graceful thing to make sketch OF
the bouquet and give it to the bride;
and, being clever with her brush and
having keen sense of artistic pos
sibilities, she succeeded in combining
the rather stiff bouquet, fan, pol
ished table and shimmering pale
green scarf into delicious bit Of
color and sentiment.
The bride was in ecstasy. So were
her friends. Soon one of the brides
maids needed bridesmaids of her own
1t wasn't the artist, in spite Of her lucl
in catching the bouquet. This bride
refused to be happy unless she, too
could have sketch Of her brida
bouquet. The artist charged a goot
price this time, and to her surprise
found herself the originator Of socia
fad. She became as much part Of 6
swell wedding as the caterer, florist Of
bridegroom. Being gifted with share
of the wisdom Of the serpent, she saw
that the thing was too good to last
and that the opportunity must be i'm

Now is the time to begin your Dot,

large stone jar, the size you think will

boxes Of strawberries as you wish, say
two or three, and cover them with al

the jar, leaving them to preserve in
the unsealed Jar. The next fruit that
comes into the market place in the

cover them, with sugar to taste, and so
on, placing every fruit in the jar when
1t is perfectly fresh.

Got Ahead.

A sea captain and lawyer lived
next door to each other. One very
windy night the lawyer was reading a
book in his study when terrific crash
upstairs startled him. Upon investi-
cation he found that a chimney had
hurled itself through his roof, doing
considerable damage. He discovered
it was the sea captains chimney. Has
tening down to his library, he pulled
out his law books and hunted up SINH
lar cases, devising and scheming how
he could secure satisfaction from the
detestable captain. While thus en-
gagged note arrived from his enemy
that read as follows: "Sir: If you
don't return those bricks at once 1 will
put the matter in the hands of the
law" San Francisco Arponaut

The voyager, if he is not seasick, Is
dependent for comfort first on the table
steward. To this man it seems to be
the rule to give $3.50 for one, or IS
for two or three persons in a party,
whether one is served in regular
courses or orders what he pleases from
the bill. Late suppers might increase
the fee. Ones next best friend is the
deck steward, if he is attentive and has
followed out suggestions about the
steamer chair and rugs. Sometimes
one can eat on deck when it is fatal
to go below, and then, if the deck stew
ard is obliging he deserves the larger
part Of what would go to the table
steward in regular course. If the
weather Is at all fair it Is most agree
able to find ones chair we'll placed
and the rugs dry every morning, es-
pecially if one is inclined to seasick-
ness. Moreover, this steward is the
one who continuously brings sand
witches and broth on deck and,
as he is obliged himself to fee the
cooks assistant to get these
articles prepared, it is clear
that he should be we'll remembered
at parting if any one is. On many
lines his pay, like that Of most of the
stewards, is not higher than $12
month and the company, on general
principles, keeps back one-third to pay
for breakage. Another third goes to
the cooks in fees. Where, therefore,
would he be without his tips?-Scrib-
uer's Magazine.

A stormy sea before her

A stormy sea before her
When, oh! too strong for human hand,
The tempest gathered DER her.
And still they rowed amidst the roar
OF waters fast prevailing,
Lord Ullin reached that fatal shore,
His wrath was changed to Tailing,
For sore dismayed, thro' storm and
shade
His child he did discover,
One lovely hand she stretched for aid,
And one was round her lover.
Come back, come backv he cried in
grief,
Across this raging water,
"And I'll forgive your Highland chief,
My daughter! oh, my daughter!"
Twas vain, the loud waves dashed the
shore,
Return or aid preventing.
The waters wild went DER his child,
And he was left lamenting!

FROM THE KLONDIKE.

Haying read carefully the letters
from people on the Yukon to their
friends. We are now able to make an
accurate statement as to conditions
around the Klondike:
l. The reports concerning the
richness of the gold fields have been
grossly exaggerated.
2. There is no great scarcity of
food, and it is going to be more
scarce.
3. The gold reports have not
been exaggerated; on the contrary,
the half has not been told.
4. There is a scarcity Of food,
but an abundance for all.
3. Go by Dyea, only fool would
go by st. .Michaels.
6. Go by St. Michaels, only a
long cared ass would try any other
route.
Z. tits the chance of your life.
s. You chance your life if you go.
.. The cold is intense.
10. The air is so dry you do not
know it is cold.
In view of all this we advise our
friends to eat a whale before they
start, take money enough to last two
years, say $25OO, and then inYest it
in a farm and stay at home. If,
however, our advice should not be
followed, for heavens sake pay up
your subscription to this paper before
you leave. We draw the line on
waiting for our pay until the money
is unfrozen IN the arctic circle.
