This account of how an intimate
friend of the great artist Kyosai obtain
ed one of the painters drawings Is
from Mrs. Hugh Frazer's ''Letters from
Japan"
Kyosai always refused il asked out
right for a sketch. So his friend began
the negotiation by offering the artist an
excellent dinner. When Kyosai had
drunk deeply and seemed in a mellow
humor. his host would call for drawing
materials. saying that he felt an arts
tic fancy taking possession of him. No
one was surprised, as japanese gentle
men often amuse themselves in this way
after feast. The servant then brought
an enormous sheet Of white paper and
spread 1t on the floor with the brushes
and Indian ink beside it.
The crafty host, without looking at
his guest, sank on his knees and began
to draw, apparently absorbed in his oc-
cupation. but Intentionally producing
few weak and incoherent lines Kyosai
watched the feeble effort in silence and
growing irritation, and at last jumped
up, dashed the tyro aside and tore the
brush out of his hand, exclaiming:
"Out of the way, you wretched bun
gler will teach you how to draw"
And the result was priceless sketch,
which remained in the possession of the
willy entertainer.

A Gaze of Confused TeIepathy.

A very remarkable occurrence has
been brought to my notice. Early last
week a we'll known lady, who shall be
called Jones, dreamed n ridiculous
dream, as inconsequential as most
dreams are.
Mrs Jones dreamed that a dog of
hers had died and that she received an
official communication ordering her
either to cremate the remains or to hef
self skin the animal and throw the
body into the river. Mrs. Jones chose
the latter alternative, but having half
skinned the body and becoming tired
threw 1t as it was into the water. The
dog disappeared for an instant and
then reappeared on the surface alive,
and swimming across to the opposite
bank trotted Off, evidently In great suf-
ferlng. There ends the dream.
The next morning the postman
brought several letters. The first one
was addressed to Lewis Jones, Esq.
there being no such person-and ran
as follows: "Slr your dog crossed the
river last night on to my property. but
being very severely injured 1t was
found necessary TO kill 1t. Should you
wish to have the collar. which bears
your name ald address, shall be hap
by to send 1t to YOU"
No dog belonging TO Mrs. Jones had
died nor had she lost one.-London

FRESH GOLD CROPS.
Localities where the Precious Metal
Deposits Itself Annually.


Deposits Itself Annually.
There are several localities where
gold may be said TO grow every year
or, In other words, where fresh depos-
its of the precious metal are to he
found annually.
One such district Is In the Edmonton
country. in the Canadian northwest,
where, after tie spring floods, from the
same banks and benches" OF the Sas-
katchewan river there are taken every
year considerable quantities of gold by
a few dlggers, who make their living
out OF the business.
But the most conspicuous and inter-
estlng case OF this sort Is 10 be seen
near Ichang. In the province of Hupeh,
in China. For many centuries past
each year gold has been washed from
the banks OF coarse gravel on both
sides of the river Han, aud ia the
midst OF the auriferous district there
is an ancient town called Li-klu-tien,
which means gold diggers' inn." Its
inhabitants subdlylde the gold bearing
ground among themselves annually,
stalking out their claims with parti-
tlons. They pay no royalty and APP
pear TO earn no more than n bare sub
sistence. But this may be doubted, as
John Chinaman is an adept at "layin
low and sayin muffin"
The annual river floods bring down
millions of tons Of mud and sand from
the mountains. and this mud and sand,
which is charged with gold. both fine"
and in fakes, is deposited to n depth
OF six inches or more on the banks of
gravel. II is In the winter that the
gold is washed, and 1t is said that sew
en- men work about 20 tons OF pay
dirt in day.-Clncinnat Enquirer.
