EpithetS.

An exchange says that the Texas
legislature has been asked to pass a
law making the proof that a man has
been called liar a justitiable defense
in cases of assault ard battery The
Kentucky law makes the offensive use
of the word misdemeanOr, punish
able by $50 6ne.
The calling of a man a liar is a
crime in Virginia. The legislature OF
] 1895 90 passed this law: eff any person
shall in the presence or hearing of
another curse or abuse such person or
use any violently abusive Language to
such person concerning himself or any
of his female relatives under circum-
stances reasonably calculated to pro-
woke d breach vi The peace, he snail
be deemed guilty of amisdemeanor, and
OF conviction shall be fned not less
than 81 nor more than S25."
To call man liar in Georgia is
ISLANDER, for which one may be given
81, 600 fine or q year in the penite tiary
or both. He has the right, however,
to prove his charge and go clear. On
the criminal side cot the courts the
law holds that the lie constitutes the
first blow and justifies violent re-
sponse.
The Missouri statute says that if the
victim of an assault used language cal
culated to provoke q breach OF the
peace and the asssilant can prove it
there is no offense The law does not
speci fcally cover the offense of calling
man liar.
In Arkansas the use of the epithet is
a misdemeapor punishable by fine.
In Mississippi law it is not specifically
mentioned. but all insulting words are
made civily actiOnable. In south Caro-
lima i is not a crime, but may be used
as basis of civil action for defam alton
of character.
The Vest Virginia statute declares
that ''all words which, from their
usual construction and common acepta-
ton, are construed as insults and tend
to violence and breach of the peace,
shall be actionable.'
It is not crime to use the "liar" in
Alabama, but if a man assaults you in
consequence of your application Of the
epi,het TO him he may give evidence
ia ratification of any abusive or OPP
pro nrious language you may have used
ia him The average jury il that state
holds tn at the lie is equivalent to the
first blow.
In North Carolina the user OF the
epithet and the man to whom it was
applied are held equally guilty in cases
of assault and battery.
There is no specific law in Tennes-
see against calling man n liar, but
the use of language calcula ed to pro-
woke breach of the pes ace is punish
BILE by a nominal fine.

"WOMAN TRAINMASTER."
Mrs. Mona peaSe a Petite Demufe
Little Lady Holds the Title and
is Stationed at ella Bend ArlZ-

The destinies of the Southern Pacific
Railroad company's interests in and
for miles east and west of ella Bend
Arizona are in the hands of q clever
petite, and demure little woman named
Mona Pesse. Mrs. Pease has the dis
tinction of being the only woman west
of the Rocky mountains, who has the
title of trainmaster On any railroad,
and the little lady handles her impor-
tant voc tion with the exactness and
capability as did her predec essor j. T.
Pease her husband.
When Spain threw down the gaunt-
let. after diploma attic measures we're
exhausted, and PresidentaMcKinley
was obliged to call upon the flower of
Americas sons to bear arms for the
United States, and if necessary die for
the cause, Mr.. Pease then trainmaster
for the S. p. company at ella Bend,
was one of the many brave and patrio-
tic volunteers that responded prompt
ly to the call. He enlisted in the 1st
Territorial regiment, which comprised
volunteers from Arizona and New
Mexico and Oklahoma. The regiment
was subsequently moved to Geo -gla.
awaiting further orders to proceed
to Cuba. The abrupt termination of
the war was the cause of the regiment
remaining in Georgia until further Or
ders. Mrs. Pesse took up the reins OF

HOW NUGGETS GROW.
A Chemist shows That Gold Exists in =
soluble Form.

soluble Form.
It Is generally supposed that the mug
gets which are found in the river gray
els of klondike and other aurlferous
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 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 strong brine. hui With SO
insoluble 4 substance as gold ii was
difficult to understand how such
growth could take place Experiments
carried out in Australia have shown
that decay ing vegetable matter Will
cause the deposition of gold from solu-
tons of gold salts. but these salts are
not known to occur In reefs.
The mystery is now solved. 4 Sla-
Eonic chemist named Zzigmedy has
Just shown that gold itself can exist in
soluble form. by acting on slightly
alkaline solution OF Il gold salt with
iormaldehyde and submitting the prod
uct TO dialysis. he has succeeded In OBJ
tainins gold In celloidal condition in
