The process Of robbing the earth Of

But the water Of which Prof. Price
spoke is not SO pure as it looks,

it from that, which is dipped from the

A stuffed dog in a glass casa COM
mon, ordinary street cur adorns the
private apartments of the proprietor
of one of Philadelphia S largest hotels,
says the Philadelphia Record. There.
is rather curious story connected with
the defunct animal, which the hotel
man tells as follows: One day the dog
came nosing about the lobby and al
though elected several times always
returned, evidently in search of the
kitchen. Finally, in order to get rid
of the cur, it was given large piece of
raw meat. Instead of eating the meat
there the canine took the Offering in
its mouth and went out into the street.
Out of sheer curiosity the hotel man
followed the animal and saw it take
the beef to another dog, which was
crouching behind the step. The latter
stood up on receiving the meat and as
it&did so held one foot off the ground.
1t was discovered that the second dog
was lame. While the crippled dog was
eating its meat the other stood guard
to see that there was no interference

MODERN NURSES.

q ~ 4 = . i -
It is hoped that the profession OF
nursing will now at least find its level,
the best type of modern nurse making
no claim to a higher vocation than the
teacher, but wishing to be given her
proper position as skilled assistant in
serious illness.
Now, on the contrary, it is frequently
limited that the nursing young woman
is a compound of vanity, frivolity and
incomplete such as damsel who
"cheerfully announced that, as her
father was blind and her mother para
lyzed, it was very dull at home, and so
she was going to be hospital nurse. . - -

STOPPING in the house and requiring
more or lesss attention from servants

ing nurse comes in for an hour or So
every day to perform those services for
which her skill is needed.
"A change Of tone has been remarked
lately in current illusions to nurses
and the nursing profession. For some
years after Mrs Camp ceased to be the
popular type her successor was allu-

ling liquid which nows over hundreds
fofa tons OF quartz, trickles through the,
mines and seeks its level, laden with.
gold, Is charged with a deadly poison,
cyanide of potassium, drug which
ferrets out the minutest parts OF the
yellow metal, disolves them and brings
the precious burden to the watts for
conversion into refined gold again.
The cyanide process is as noiseless
and unerring as the laws of gravita-3
ton, doing its work as quietly as the
majestic dance of the hours, I, unhln-
5dered by darkness or weather, by dis
asters Of field or flood.
The state mining bureau OF Califor-
MIA was one Of the first in the United
States to Invests ate the merits Of the
cyanide process, and since the earliest
investigation the method has found ex-
stensive application. It is so interesting
that it's results are nothing less than
marvellous. This method Of extract
ing both gold and silver from ores is
based on the fact that even a very weak
solution Of cyanide Of potassium dis
solves gold and silver, forming re-
spectiyely "auro-p otassic cyanide" and
= argento- potassic cyanide, in the Ian
Guage of chemists.
This interesting process consists Of
treating the ores with a weak solution
OF potassium cyanide, usually by allow
ing the solution to percolate through
the ore, or by agitating a mixture Of
the ore and solution. When this part
of the operation is complete, the solu-
ton is separated from the solid mate
rial and the gold and silver are precip-
itated in metallic form. The process
is modern in its application, though it
has has long been known that cyanide Of
potassium would 'est gold During
the last five years, however, the pro-
cess has been introduced into almost
every gold field in California and else

thoroughness OF the permeating wa
ter method, its economy is a marked
feature in mining. It is in great favor

Africa, as well as in California.
One of the most advantageous feat
ures OF the cyanide method is that it
can be applied to many gold and silver
ores generally called "rebellious' or
refractory. The rebellious ore is
placed in a vat for percolation, and the
solution is run, preferably from tho
bottom by pipe, rising slowly through
the ore. The solution containing gold
is carried through precipitating app1i-
ances into the final reservoir, where,
robbed Of its wealth of metal, it may be
repumped into ore watts and again used
Tor searching out the coveted metal
One Of the curious things about the
solution is that total percentage not
stronger than an eighth Of / per cent
will carry away the gold almost as we'll

Precipitation is effected by the use Of
fine pieces of zinc, so arranged that
When the rich waters flow over them
the fine gold clusters in rich deposits
over the zinc, for. which it has an af-
Unity. The gold which thus deserts the
waters Of cyanide deposits itself in the
form of fine dust on the plates Of zinc.
The percentage of gold extracted by
this process is very large. A parcel of
line sulphurets from the Utica mines
yielded an average of 93.1S per cent
| Of the gold value under the cyanide
treatment and similar results have
been experienced elsewhere in the
state. The cyanide plants are being
extended, and the noiseless process is
everywhere becoming popular.

TRAMP FINDS HIS BANK.

Thrifty vagrant slows Away a Ger

for Many a Long Day, just
Where He Put 1t.

A ragged tramp Of frowsy appear
ance, was found the other morning un-
derneath the pile-supported warehouse
of the Chicago Flour company, atSixty-
third and La Sale streets, Chicago. He
was pounding with convenient brick
bat to dislodge dust-covered board
that was nailed across q couple OF the
joists overhead. The noise OF the
pounding had attracted the attention OF
Thomas Boyd, the foreman OF the ware
house, and he hurried down to investi-
gate.
When the man with the half-inch
stubble of dirty red beard and shoes that
exposed the majority of his toes to the
public view informed the foreman that
he was looking for the price of 5000
beers which he had deposited with the
unwilling -four company year ago
Mr.. Boyd turned pale and started for
the street level. I'm not off'n me

Come back here and watch me-" When
the board was dislodged an old match
box fell to the ground, and from this
receptacle the tramp, with trembling
fingers, drew a certificate of deposit for
$500 on the Boatmen's bank of st. Louis.
After the certificate was taken out of
the match box and it's wrinkles straight

name was Dennis Mulligan, pinned the
paper carefully on the inside of his
tattered shirt and then proceeded to
explain matters. Translated from the
argot of the tomato-can fraternity his
story was as follows, says the Chicago
Record:
He said that in the course of his 20
years rolling over the American con-
tinent he had accumulated moss to the
amount of $3.50, and the possession of so
much wealth had begun to trouble his
rest. He insisted that he found it
good deal of a strain on his histrionic
powers to ask for pie to save him from
imminent starvation when he had con-
cealed about his person enough capital
to start bakery. Accordingly, while
in st. Louis last June he took $500 and
deposited it in the Boatmen's bank,

THE SEALY DRILL.

The Sealy Rifles yesterday put up a
splendid inspection yesterday morning,
and in the afternoon when they
entered the field the command open
ranks" was given and executed in as
fine order as they did in the morning
at inspection.
The manual by the numbers follow
ed and as far as could be seen was con-
sidered the best so far. The manual
without the numbers by some was
claimed to be not up to that of the
Thurstons. The fixing and unfiXing
of bayonets was well executed and re-
ceived great applause. The
command left turn was perfect
ly executed. The company dress
was without fault. There is some ar
gument with regard to the drill of the
Thurstons and Sealys, in the above
command, as the Thurstons faced to
the east and the Sealys TO the west.
The "frings" of the Sealys have never
been exCelled in competitive fields in
America, the kneeling and lying down
firing bringing forth thunders of ap-
plause. The recover arms" from fir
ing was almost perfection. The
worst feature Of their drill was the
stack arms" which was not up to the
Thurstons, the second four having
their stack too far in, breaking the
line, in both swivel and bayonet stacks.
The prettiest feature of the drill was
right by file," the distances being
correct. Their double time" on
right into line" was executed equal to
that of the Thurstons. 1t required
twenty-eight minutes to execute the
program, one minute less than the
Thurstons. An eye witness who has
attended every drill of the Sealys
says it is the best they have ever put
up under the new tactics.

are now here attending the drill, came
for the special purpose of taking part
in the exhibition drill with their old
comrades. Among those here are the
