II there is anything that makes a
poor. toiling man happy it is to read
Rbout fukes that have made fortunes.
For instance, there was captain of a
vessel plying between English and AUS
tralian points who made lucky strike
when convicts were taken to New
South Wales.
A "time expired" man came to the
mariner and begged to be taken home.
The former convict had no money, but
he would gladly give his plot of land
for transportation.
The captain accepted the terms, and
great is the joy Of his descendants, for
that plot is now occupied by wharf
and it is valued at 81. 1875, 900.
A Limerick tobacconist believed him
self to be ruined by a fire that destroyed
his shop. The next day he found tins Of
snuff that had been in the fire. Curios-
ity prompted him to open the canisters
He found that the action of the flames
had materially improved the aroma and
pungency of the snuff. The discovery
made him very rich.
The discovery of the Mount Sheba
mine was purely fluke, and its output
of gold is the greatest Of any mine in
the world except in the Klondike dis
trict
A bank clerk in London heard that
there was a rich deposit of gold at a
certain place at the Cape of Good Hope.
He set about forming provisional syn
dictate among his fellow clerks, and they
raised about 81, 500 among themselves.
A mining engineer was sent out. He
made a thorough investigation, but
found no gold. He had decided to give
up the search and was ready to leave
for home, when he ran across a miner.
"Well, stranger, he said, "I guess
you are on a hunt for the shiny. 'Tain't t
here, boss"
Have you a claim here?' asked the
engineer.
Eyes, and want to make tracks up
the country. That's my claim over by
that camel's hump. You can have it
for 800, and here's a sample of the
quartz. That claim amt worth its
weight in gold, but it's worth every
dollar 1 ask for it.
The engineer examined the specimen
and decided that there was gold in it.
He acted quickly.
'I'll tell you what I'll do, mate" he
said. "I'll give you $50 ON the risk OF
losing it"
The bargain was struck and the claim
carefully explored. An abundance of
gold was found in the most unlikely
veins Today the shares, the face value
of which is 500, are worth $500, 600
each. New York World.

First Regiment Infantry National
Guards of Delaware arrived there yes
terday, causing much enthusiasm as
they marched through the streets of
Wilmington.
A good many of the boys look upon
the trip as an outing but they will find
plenty of work
1t is the intention of the officers to
enforce strict discipline during the
whole camp.
Each form of drill will be gone
through every day, followed by full
dress parade about o'clock each even
ing.
There will be about 700 men in camp
In the event of the boys being called
to the front, Delaware's proportion for
volunteers is 341; the others of course
will be allowed to go if they so desire.
Wilmington and most the State towns
have put on decidedly patriotic air.
Flags are flying from many of the bus
mess houses on Market street, and
windows are decorated with the ma
tional colOrs, often mingled with
Cuban cOlOrs.
Most of the manufacturing establish
ments and business houses, where
members of the Guards are employed,
have decided to hold the places open
for the men on their return.
Company B, of Milford, held its fna
home drill in the armory Monday
evening, and the galleries were packed
with ladies, who cheered and waved
farewell greetings to the boys.

Holland is an abbreviation Of Hollow

deposits from the Rhine and other rivers
and of sand thrown up by the sea. Some
parts Of it are even lower than the sea
itself, and to keep the water out strong
walls called dikes, made Of great stones,
timber, turf and clay, have been built
along the shores. The land was former
ly very soft and swampy, but it has
been filled up or drawn out by hundreds
of pumps, which are worked either by
windmills or steam engines. The wa

the place of streets, and the people go
about on them in summer in little boats
drawn by horses or by dogs, and In
winter they travel merrily over the ice
on skates, which men, women and chill
dren use with ease and grace.
