saltcd Ore.

1t is not generally known that it is
possible to salt ore with gold just as it
is possible for an INSCRIPTIONS man to
salt the mine III which gold is found.
In the one case the fraud is compare
lively easy to detect, while III the other
it would defy even an expert. and there
fore shareholders, induced by the over
flattering reports Of perfectly honest
assayer, could be readily taken in. The
gentleman who demonstrated this pos
sibility is Mr.. j. G. Johnson of AIDE
laide, Australia who making expert
ments with different salts Of gold,
found that he could produce quite
natural looking specimens of gold bear
ing quartz from stones whose previous
assay showed that they contained no
particle of gold. Furthermore, the gold
penetrates the stone in the most natural
manner possible. Indeed pieces of this
artificially produced gold quartz were
exhibited some little time ago at the
Imperial institute in Edinburgh. Pear

He Promotes Restaurants.

A shrewd New Yorker, who started
his business career over 80 years ago as
a purveyor of coffee and crullers in an
all night booth at old Fulton market,
is making barrel Of money, his friends
say, as "a promoter of restaurants.
This eating house Speculation, after
selecting Il location, opens spick and
span new restaurant, with cheap prices,
excellent service, first class cooking and
top notch meats and bread, vegetables
and pastry, coffee and biscuits. He soon
builds up a fine trade. His patrons
praise the place for one or more of its
specialties, and then the promoter sells
out at handsome profit. Soon after
ward the chef, the pastry cook, the man
who bakes the delicious raised biscuit
and the keen eyed, alert head waiter
find one excuse or another for taking
leave. They are not tired of working
nor dissatisfied with the wages re-
ceived. They have received notice from
the promoter that he is ready to open
another restaurant and that their expe-
rience and services are necessary to him
in giving the new place the reputation
that will draw full tables and enable
the promoter to land another purchaser.
This speculator does not confine his
efforts to New York. Boston, Philadel-
phia, Chicago and even Denver and San
Francisco have seen the same crowd,
and the patrons are wondering why the
coffee, fish cakes, hashed brown pota-
toes and gooseberry tarts aren't so nice
as when "this place was opened. -

carib fish, which are the most ferocious

they travel in schools. Their teeth are
three cornered. Any living object which
attracts their attention is attacked with

bucket. She was attacked by the fish
and reached shore only to die i'll 10

fish and pulledit upon the bank. He

finger With a quick movement the car

Another fish which the party often
came acrcss.w8s the morocoto, the fla
vor of which is like Lake Superior
whitefish, only more delicate. The mo-
rocoto is provided with molar teeth and
subsists on vegetable matter, which it
thoroughly masticates before swallow

The San Francisco call., 1897-10-24

OH that was a sight to behold. Her hat
had long been out of style, she wore no
gloves, and her hands were very dirty in
deed. But her eyes-they were dark ones
were very sad. and so the little gold len
haired doll got out of bed, dressed herself
and then the two crept downstairs and
left the house.
1t must have been about o. clock when
they left the house. The lamps were all
lit on the streets. The people were all
hurrying 10 the theaters or homew
and no one paid any attention to them.
Even the policeman at the corner did not
notice them.
The blue-eyed doll wanted 10 stop and
look IN the windows OF the stores, but the
ragged doll would not let her. Sc they
went 10 part OF the city where the poor
people live, where the streets are very
narrow and very dark and where nobody
can wear nice clothes. At the door of
very dusty-looking house the ragged doll
stopped and, taking the others hand, led
her in.
They climb three flights of stairs and
then the ragged doll opened creaky
door and they both stepped inside.
1t was such shabbily furnished room
that the goIden-haired doll wanted to cry
1t hurt her heart. A poor old woman lay
asleep on bed in one corner and a little
girl, who looked just like the ragged doll,
only hundred times bigger, lay beside
her. They had both been weeping, for
as the goldenhaired doll stood on the
bed she could see the tears on their pale
cheeks.
Then the little golden-haired doll began
10 cry too.
What are they crying for ?" she asked
OF the ragged doll who stood beside her.
They is just simply hungry and they
don't often get much to eat" said the
ragged doll.
How do you know?" asked the other,
who could not believe such thing possible.
