American Stones.

American precious stones are of more importance than is generally known to those not connected with the trade. The Maine tourmalines are unequaled In color, the lithia emerald of North Carolina has never been found in any other country, and the beryls of Con- necticut are of fine golden yellow California chIysophrase resembles the apple green Chinese jadeite, beauti- full rose quartz comes from South Da- kota and large quantity of rough Montana sapphires is sent to London to be cut. The main part of the worlds supply of turquoises is obtained In New Mexico. No doubt the new possessions will add to the American production of gems, a business as yet in it's infancy.

Good Things.

Starting with one ear, and funeral car at that, the Pullman Palace Car company in B years laid aside a sur plus of $24000,000, which was divided between the stockholders. How cur ious it all seems. Pullman's hearse on the rail brought him great fortune, yet he dtsinherited his two sons. It has always been a superstition that hearses brought ill luck. Another amazing success was Edison Electric. which went begging at 45. A broker bought 20 shares for $900, and sold 10 of them a year later for $30,000 Bell Telephone stock started at a low price, but went to 200, and made many rich. There is no end of these good things.

Ancient Wnr Songs.

Julius Caesar had his men sing songs of triumph after victory and some of the verses are in existence to-day Edward I. had the Welsh bards put to death because he thought they melted the soldiers to battle. In Spain many traces of Roman war songs are to be found Spanish and Portuguese war songs were called romancers. The Cid. written in the twelfth century, has al- ways been the martial inspiration of the Spaniards. What the Cid is to Spain the Roland is to France. The "Chanson De Roland" has been sung since the eleventh century. and has 1.500 verses.

Some Big Houses.

The Sultan is said to have nearly completed the largest hotel in the world at Mecca, This establishment is to lodge 5000 pilgrims at once, with, presumably, their camels and other beasts of burden, and promises to be one of the most picturesque places to stay atin theworld, although, of course, "infdel dogs" are not allowed to ap- proaeh it. Its vast size has drawn at- tention to monster residences. The largest dwelling-house in existence fa in Vienna, where there isan apartment house with 1,500 rooms in it, occupied by more than 5000 people. This build ing has thirty-two staireases, thirteen interior courts and $50 windows on the street.

story of Q wiId nor.

The story of Peter, the wild boy" is told on the brass erected to his mem- ory in the parish church of North church, HertfordshirA, England. The celebrated Doctor Arbuthnot made special study of Peter, but failed to make anything of him, and, when the novelty of his appearance had worn off and he had been induced to wear the garb of civilization, he was pen- stoned off and sent to the village of Northchurch. But he retained his vag- abond habits and gave his guardian much trouble by wandering off to disY tant counties. AS he could not speak pr make himself understood of stran- gers, this propensity for straying brought him into trouble, and he was sometimes arrested as an obstinate began who would not give an account Df himself. Thus it was that a brass collar, engraved with his name and address, was fitted to his neck. He Is said to have been fond of music, and be used to dance to express his delight at the sound of musical instruments. His tombstone Is still standing near the doorway of Northehurch church. When he died he was 72 years old.

salted the Giant Powder.

"If you never had mine salted on you," remarked an old-time Colorado miner recently, you have missed half of your chance to get good expe- rience."
 Did you ever have it happen to you?" asked the stranger from the East.
 Yes. my very first lesson cost me S5,000, when bought mine in Lead vile that had been tunneIIed into the mountain side for nearly 200 feet. I had heard of the trick of salting prop critics, so after the man showed me what there was in sight he invited me to go right ahead and blast out several feet in order to satisfy myself, which I did, and the ore seemed to be just as good as it was when he was working 1t. Of course I bought it, and then it never paid a cent-it was salted,"
 But how could they salt three or four feet into the solid rock?"
 There was the trick of it. They didn't salt the rock, but put gold colora into the giant powder, and as long as that lasted there was gold in sight

A German banker, travelling by Fail in a frst-class carriage toward Vienna. had as a feIow-trayeler at one of the intermediate stations an old gentle man, who entered into conversation and proved very pleasant. The banker got out. before his companion, and be- fore he did so asked the latter how far he was going. The gentleman replied, "To Vienna. q have a daughter very well married there," said the banker."T should like to give you note of intro duction to her" T have also a dapgn- ter very well married there" said the other. Would it bs too great liberty to ask her name?" My daughter" the gentleman answered. lis married to the Emperor of Austria. IL was the old King of Bavaria

TRAITS OF THE CAT.
Some Points Which Prove 1t to be sOii.
 tary Animal.

Some Points Which Prove 1t to be soli.
 tary Animal.
 All the cats habits show 1t to be by nature a solitary animal. Even in early life, when family ties bring out the instinct of association, this Is ap- parent. If you compare the play Of puppies with that of kitten you will find in one case that companionship of some kind is essential, for if puppy has no playmate of his own species he will always try to make one of the nearest biped; whereas a cork or bit of string is all that is necessary to sat- isfy the requirements of the kitten. The way in which the cat takes it's food is a sure sign that in it's natural state it Is not in the habit of associating with greedy companions.
 When given something to eat it first carefully smells the morsel then takes 1t 1n a deliberate and gingerly way, 6nd sits down to finish it at leisure. There is none of that inclination 50 snatch hastily at any food held before It which we observe even in well train- ed dogs, nor does a cat seem in any hurry to stow it's goods in the one place where thieYing rivals cannot interfere with them. Indeed, no greater contrast in natural table manners can be ob- served anywhere than when we turn from the kennel or the pigsty and watch the dainty way in which a eat takes it's meals. That a eat allows peo- pie to approach it while feeding with out showing jealousy proves that 1t does not attribute to human beings like tastes with it's own.
