Robbed the Grave.

A startling incident, of which Mr.
John Oliver Of Philadelphia, vas the
SUBJECTS narrated by him as follows
Il was in a most dreadful condition
My skin was almost yellow, eyes
suuken, tongue coated, pain contin'
ually in back and sides, no appetite
gradually growing weaker day by
day. Three physicians had given
me up. Fortunately, a friend ad,
vised trying Electric Bitters;' and to
my great joy and surprise, the first
bottle made a decided improvement.
I continued their use for three weeks
and am now a well man. I know
they saved my life, and robbed the
grave of another victim" No one
should fail to try them. Only Scots,
guaranteed, at J. E Kaufmann's 5

That Long For-Gotten Picture.

'John Billus, I found this photo
graph in the inside pocket of an old
vest Of yours hanging up in the
closet. I'd like an explanation.
Whose is it?"
Cant you see it's an old picture,
Maria? What's the use of stirring
up memories that
II want to know whose picture
that is"
Rather a pleasant-faced girl, isn't
she?"
II want to know her name"
mo jealous fury in that counte-
nance, is there?'
"Whose is i;?'
sIs's the portrait of girl I use to
think a great deal of, and"
: "Her name, sil?"
"Well, you sat for it yourself, Ma.
ria, about nineteen years ago; but, to
tell the truth, I always did think the
pleasing expression was little over
done. Put on your spectacles aud
look at it again, and then compare it
with the reflection in that mirror
over there and see what are you
getting mad about?"

1t is surprising that the plan for
hi!lion-d dollar iron and steel trust has
failed. A billion dollars is a good
deal of money. Counting one a Sec
ond for eight hours a day it would
take man q year to count million,
and thousand years to count billion;
or a thousand men counting one a
second for eight hours day, could
together count a billion in a year.
One hundred silver dollars make a
pile foot high. A billion silver
dollars would make pile 1900 miles
high.

The Flxine Fox.

The flying fox is very curious in
habitant of the forests near Moreton
Bay in East Australia. It lives in focks
and moves generally toward the dusk
of the evening, and the noise produced
by the heavy tapping of the so-called
wings is very singular The focks
like quiet places, where there are large
Arauearian pine trees, with an under
wood of scrub and creepers. The
foxes hang in vast numbers from the
horizontal branches of the pine trees.
When there IS a clear space among
the trees. an enormous number of the
animals may be seen. and their noise
can be heard, for directly they see any
thing unusual they utter a short bark,
something like the sound made by
young rocks. Often every branch is
crowded and the flying foxes are seen
either tapping their wings and hold
ing on with their hind feet, and with
their head downward. or snarling and
fighting for places.
Suddenly the whole take to flight and
flap their furry, wing-like sides and
wheel around like heavy birds. Many
fly with their young holding on to
them.
The creature is not a true fox and
there is fold Of skin which reaches
from the fore to the hind legs. This is
called the wing, and it enables the
pteropus, as the animal is called, to
float and turn in the air.

HOW NUGGETS GROW.
A Chemist Shows That Gold Exists in a
Soluble Form.

Chemist Shows That Gold Exists in
Soluble Form.
Tt is generally supposed that the mug
gets which are found in the river grav-
els of Klondike and other auriferous
regions have been brought down by the
rivers direct from the reefs in which
the gold originally lay.
Many practical miners and scientific
men, however, have long been of opin-
ion that this cannot be the case, for no
masses of gold Of SO large a size were
ever found in the reefs themselves.
They believe, on the other hand. that
the nuggets have grown where they are
now found, just as crystal Of salt will
grow in a strong brine; but with SO
insoluble a substance as gold it was
difficult TO understand how such
growth could take place. Experiments
carried out in Australia have shown
that decaying vegetable matter will
cause the deposition of gold from solu-
lions of gold salts, but these salts are
not known to occur IN reefs.
The mystery is now solved. A Sla-
vonic chemist named Zzigmedy has
just shown that gold itself can exist in
a soluble form. By acting on a slightly
alkaline solution of a gold salt with
formaldehyde and submitting the prod
uct to dialysis, he has succeeded in OBJ
tanning gold in eolloidal condition. in
which state it is soluble in water and
may be preeipitated by the addition OF
common salt
1t is probable that some of the gold
in quartz feels exists in this condition.
It is washed out by the rain, carried
away in solution by the rivers, and
deposited in the river gravels wherever
there is anything containing salt to
cause its precipitation. In the course
of ages a large nugget may in this
way be formed.

Cost of the Red Mnn.

Since the United States government
was formed 10000 white men, women
and children have been slain in Indian
wars and ARRAYS and about 10000 IN
dams, at an expense to our govern
ment of s807 073, 658. To this immense
sum must be added the civil expendi-
ture of the government on behalf OF the
Indians, which, between 1776 and 1890,
amounted to $259, 944.082, making a to-
tai of 81 ,067 OF ,740 for civil and mill
tary expenses in connection with the
noble red man.

RIGHTS OF A JURY.
Supreme Court Favors the Freedom
of Thought and Speech.

A decision has been handed down by the
Supreme Court in which II is held that
statements of jurors in the jury-room
after they have retired to deliberate on
verdict are confidential and not intended
for the ears of listening deputy sheriffs
or other people. The court reaches this
decision while affirming the judgment of
the Superior Court denying a new trial
in the case of Edward Saltzman against
the Sunset Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany. Saltzman brought suit against the
company to recover damages for personal
injuries. The jury gave judgment against
him, and he made a motion for a new
trial. To support the motion various affi-
davits of misconduct on the part of jurors
were filed. Among them was one made by
the deputy sheriff having the jury in
charge in which it is set forth that one
of the jurors said that If they did not
agree on a verdict they would get no
money, and rather than face such a ca
lamity he would agree to any verdict.
Another juror, the deputy testified, while
all were in a restaurant, rang up some
party on the telephone and gave instruc-
tions regarding his personal business. In
reviewing the case the Supreme Court
held that although the telephone conver-
sation should not have been allowed. the
conversation in the jury-room was conf
Dental and could not properly be used
on a motion for a new trial as dra wing
jurors up for such acts detracts from the
freedom of thought and speech in a jury
which is not in keeping with our institu-
tions.
