FRESH GOLD CROPS.

Localities Where the Precious Metal
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 be
found annually.
One such district is in the Edmonton
country, In the Canadian northwest,
where, after the spring floods, from the
same banks and benches of the Sas-
katchewan river there are taken every
year considerable quantities of gold by
few diggers, who make their living
out of the business.
But the most conspicuous and inter-
esting case of this sort is to 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, and in the
midst of the auriferous district there
is an ancient town called Li-kiu-tien,
which means gold diggers' inn" Its
Inhabitants subdivide the gold bearing
ground among themselves annually,
stalking out their claims with parti-
lions. They pay no royalty and ap-
pear to earn no more than 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 a depth
Of six inches or more on the banks of
gravel. 1t is in the winter that the
gold is washed, and it is said that sew
en- men work about 20 tons of pay
dirt in day.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

suggested that the pier offered an op-

FIOwery Weather Predictions of the

In these days of practical newspa-

expressed in the plainest and tersest
form, the flowery language INDUCED

following poetic CONFUSION was copied

ION Saturday evening at II minutes

and mildly over the autumnal equinox
and cast his golden anchor on the win

vast ocean of air through which he
sails is glowing and transparent with
the memory Of the long summer days
that have passed over 1t, darting their
rich beams to its very depths. Even
as we write, however, the remem-
brance fades, like the sky's blanching
souvenirs of sunset, and in the dis
lance the cold ghosts of winter glare
and wave their frozen wings, which
creak on Icy hinges, while in the ST.

TRUTH AND A TRUNK.

Look Out For baggage If a Woman
Tells You 1t Isn't Heavy.
l know woman who travels arounC
the country with a trunk as big as 8

are of no avail, and it seems to me the
case is perfectly proper one for the
Anticruelty society. When l mention
ed this to the lady with the trunk, she
said, But they are only to look after
children ana animals"
Perhaps they can twist their con,
stitution to get the baggageman under
the head of animals and prosecute

posed. The last time she went away

Clean birds by sevens.
Unciean by tryos.
The dove in the heavens

Unclehood is about the hardest hood
man has to wear, and, as have observ-
ed uncles and their habits, they either
spoil or repel the small chaps and chap
posses who happen to be made their
nephews and nieces by an accident of
birth. Uncles are either intensely
genial or intensely irritable, and as ear
as l am concerned it is my belief that
our colleges should include in their car
riculum chair of "uncleism."
Unclehood is relationship that man
has to accept. 1t is thrust upon him.
He can't help himself. To be father
or a mother is matter of volition But
even in free country like our own. If
man has brother or a sister, he Is
liable to find himself an uncle at any
time whether he wishes to be one or
not. Then when it happens he's got tc

POETRY WHICH BURNED.


The Successful Scheme of a Rhyme
ster to Make Money.
A very wealthy, sedate and enter
prising manufacturer in Pennsylvania
has a brother who is trifiing, dissipat-
ed and of course a spendthrift. But
the fellow now and then displays re-
markable ingenuity In making a
raise" All his life he has INDUCED,
among other bad habits, that of writ
ing execrable verse, much of which,
however, he has managed to get
printed.
Lately he conceived the monstrous
idea Of having all his stuff printed in
book and with the aid of an unscru-
pulous printer succeeded in bringing
out the ''work" in quite handsome
shape. But in the most affectionate
terms he dedicated" the book to his
wealthy brother, who regards his near
and dissolute kinsman's poetry" as
really the most reprehensible thing
that the incorrigible fellow does.
But the rhymester and his ''black art
accomplish knew their business. They
printed large edition of the book and
sent a copy to the wealthy man. who
Immediately purchased the entire edi-
ton and the plates and made words
that burn" of the poems" by means of
a bonfire. He also sent to his cruel
brother and induced him to accept a
salary to do nothing but throttle his
verse fiend.
The wicked printer obtained capital
enough to go to Chicago and carry on
a reputable printing establishment,
and the bad brother is earning more
money by keeping his verse fiend ST
lent than better poets do by keeping
their muses. constantly at work-Wo-

when to stop Eggs and MIX

"People over so would do well to
give up milk and eggs as a diet" said
DR.. Henry NJ. Dearborne "These are
the structure forming foods of animals
which mature in a short time, and
when taken In quantities by human
beings whose structures have already
formed they tend only to the harden
ing and aging of the tissues"
DR.. Dearborne said that he had seen
people who were beginning to find
stair climbing difficult and who were
losing their elasticity much benefited
by eliminating these articles from their
diet. There has been a great increase
in the duration of life below the age of
30, statistics prove" he said, "but be-
yond that period there has been no
improvement" In his opinion, the per-
son over so should have as good a
chance to preserve life as the young
child just beginning It's struggle with
existence.-New York Times.

An expert who prided himself upor
the smallness of his writing sent the
president of the French academy q
grain Of wheat on which he had writ
ten POI words. A Polish poet wrote
all of Homer's "Iliad" on a piece OF
paper which could be rolled up small
enough to go into nutshell.
In the sixteenth century man named
Mark offered to Queen Elizabeth gold
chain of 80 links. The chain was SO
fine it could not be seen unless it was
put on a sheet of white paper. To
prove its lightness Mark tied it to iy,
which flew away with it. The most
curious fact in this matter, which re-
quired so extraordinary a facility of
touch for making this ornament, was
that Mark was a blacksmith, accus-
toned to all kinds of heavy tools all
day long.
