WASHINGTON, July 18.-In the case
Of the Selby Smelling and Lead COM
pany, of San Francisco, the attorney
general has decided that a drawback

subsequently withdrawn on payment
of duties for domestic consumption, as
provided by the act of July "a, 1897,
should be allowed upon the expectation
Of the articles manufactured wholly
from such lead. under section 80 of the
same act.
The ore imported by this company
was a huxing ore, composed largely
Of lead, and was smelted as the process
required. along with a domestic refrac-
tory ore containing incidentally a small
percentage of lead. But under section
20 it Is held that. as the law. authorizes
the withdrawal Of 80 per cent Of the
refined product for domestic consump-
ton, only upon the payment of the
duties, this sufficiently identified the
80 per cent as foreign ore, and as such
is entitled to a drawback on re-expor-
tation.
This opinion modifies that Of Dec IS,
1894. which held in similar case that
the quantity or measure OF the domes-
tic lead could not be ascertained by
chemical analysis or other means.

So No Directories VIII Rest In the
Corner Stone.
A proposition has been made to the
subcommittee on archives of the corner
stone committee suggesting that a copy
Of the city directory of ST. Paul and
Minneapolis be placed among the con-
tents of the stone. The committee
after considering the matter at a meet
ing held recently, decided that in order
to do Justice to the whole state this
would be impractlcable, as all the larg
er towns in the state would want their
directories included, and the limited
space in the stone would not permit
this.
The committee We're ait first inclined
to favor the idea, as every one whose
name was in the directory would have
a personal interest in the matter.

pication for ten saloon licenses.
Four transfers of liquor licenses

cation only, the committee recomme nd
ed it.
The application of Gardner & O'Mal-
ley to transfer the license from 1874 East
Sixth street to 3S1 Robert street, was
opposed by Aid. Sanborn, who stated
that the original license was not issued
to Gardner & O'Malley, and under the
opinion Of the corporation attorney it
was not legal to authorize the trans
fer The application will be reported
back to the council without recommen-
dation.
The application of Joseph Fecht and
Henry Sehorn for transfers will go to
the board meeti1 6 with adversa reports.
Aid. Murphy favored the granting of

TWO LEGENDS.

In the Giant mountains of lower Silesia
there lives, according to German legend, q
brownie called in German "Kobold.'' In
his personality and pecdharity the peasants
have an unwavering faith and seek aid in
distress as regularly they shun him in
as "Riebezahl'' or ''turnip-counter" the
thoughtlessness has brought the peasant the
eternal enmity of the brownie. If peasant
is asked why the spirit is SO incensed at the
name. he will tell you In all seriousness
that the spirit once fell in love with girl
wand whereby hes furnished himself fine
black horse he carried the object of his love
of to the mountain. But she was Lonely and
disconsolate and pinned for her friends. Fina.

told her to touch each with the wand. men-
tioning the name Of a desired friend as she
did So The unwilling bride ebeyed and was
rewarded by seeing each one of the vegeta-
bles transformed into beloved friend. But
her joy soon faded for the friends wfthered

that he might renew the lives OF his wife's
friends. Once while he was counting his
turnips Mrs. Brownie ran away, making his
labor of love all In vain.
The parish church at Chesterfield. England
has curious spfre. Instead OF being perpen-
dsrular it is bent and twisted. so that the
spire deviates from the perpendicular some
six feet to the south and four feet to the
west. Stories and legends relating thereto
are interesting.
One tells that pretty and virtuous women
were exceedingly scarce in the town, so
scarce that when one day a good and love-
Iy woman stepped within the church to be
married. the steep1e was astonished and
bowed to the bride, and that the bend was
made when attempting to regain It's orig

that never will it's upright position be re-
gained until another model woman is mar
