"Juanito," the short story in the
Argonaut Of April 3, 1899, is q story
of Mexican life from the pen of Edith
Wagner, and could have been written
only by one perfectly familiar with
the scenes described. 1t is a well
drawn picture of a sturdy, brown baby,
whose courage and stoicism defeats a
band of outlaws.
Cleveland Moffett's account of his
journeys on the engines and in the
postal cars of the Fast Mail, at rate
of upwards of ninety miles an hour,
gives the April McClure's a fairly
dramatic opening. The intensity of
SSssTvice required of man and mechan-
ism under the new schedule, that
saves full days time between the
two oceans, is depicted almost as the

article is spiritedly illustrated by W.

The God of Murderers.

In certain mountain village called
Laituk, on the northwest frontier Of
Burma, is sacred pool, in which is
said to live matt. e., demon-call-
ed Shearpanlai, who is the guardian
spirit Of murderers
When a murder is committed any
where in these hills, the water Of this
pool is reported to turn blood red.
Now, when this happens it is warn
ing sign to the villagers, who are the
wardens of the pool, to be on their
guard lest the murderer, whoever he
may be and from whatever village he
may come, unobserved, succeed in
reaching the pool, for the Chin law or
custom is that If murderer manages
to elude the avengers of blood" (who
are usually some near blood relations of
the victim) and the vigilance of the
guardians of the pool and succeeds In
gaining it and washes his hands In its
blood red water, which. as soon as this
occurs, resumes its usual appearance,
testifying that the god of murder is ap-
peased, he is absolved from his blood
outlines and is thereafter free man,
and no one may henceforth modest him.
On the other hand, if he we're over
taken by his pursuers or were he pre-
vented by the village guardians from
reaching the we'll he would speedily pay
the penalty of his crime with his life

Experts in gold mining agree that
pretty much the bottom fact now known
about such metal ie briefly that all orig
inal pyrites of small grain texture con-
tain gold to a greater or less extent,
this, of course, not covering such Sec
ondary large crystal pyritous deposits
derived from veins. 1t is not yet known,
however, whether the gold in these
pyrites is in chemical combination with
the sulphide of gold, or whether each
minute particle of gold is simply cover
ed with coating of sulphide of iron,
or finally whether such particles are in
the metallic state, but alleged with sill
yer or other metal which combines more
rapidly with sulphur than the gold
does, and consequently forms coat Of
sulphide of silver over the gold. The
particles of gold are so minute and the
ombinations follow SO rapidly during
the splitting up of these pyrites that
the finest instruments and tests known
to chemistry have as yet been unable to
settle this part of the question to the
satisfaction of all concerned, this fact
showing how easy it is to put in mill
that will not save the values.

THE PRICE OF PEPPER.
1t Helped to Change the History o

1t Helped to Change the History of
the Old World.
In the sixteenth century all the pep
per consumed in England was bought
by the English merchants from the
Dutch, who brought it from India.
Owing to racial jealousy, the Dutch
traders in 1899 raised the cost from 8
shillings to shillings per pound. This
petty display of i'll feeling caused con-
siderable annoyance to the English mer-
chants and aroused in them that feeling
of independence which has always been
so characteristic of our race.
They determined to import their pep
per direct from India in their own
ships, and for this purpose formed q
company, called the Governor and
Company of Merchants of London Trad
ing to the East Indies, and which in
latter days became eventually known
as the East India company.
Their first voyages embroiled them
in almost innumerable quarrels with
the Dutch and Portuguese, and for q
time the venture proved a financial fail.
ure. 1t was not until 1915 that the
company became successful and obtained
lucrative treaties, owing to their de.
cisively defeating the Portuguese.
From this time on their possessions
gradually increased, slowly at first, and
then very rapidly, until, by the wise
and beneficial management of such men
as Give, Warren Hastings and Corn
wallis, they exercised sovereignty over
the greater portion of India.
In this manner it happened that ar
increase in the price of pepper momen-
tously affected the history of mankind.

THE sAssAFRAs PLANT.
From 1t May Be Brewed a Pleasant
Tea and a Good Mucilage.

From 1t May Be Brewed a Pleasant
Tea and a Good MuciIaGe.
A correspondent Of the Charleston
News and Courier says Of the sassafras
plant: 1.-THE whole plant is valuable
for its medicinal properties. The root
makes an excellent tea, spicy and fra
grant, and has Alternative virtues quite as
good as the sarsaparilla. The stalks
have an inner pith that, although tedi-
GUS to extract much Of it, when scraped
out and put into cold water and agitated
for few moments with a spoon forms
a most thick and tenacious mucilage,
retaining delicate flavor Of the smell
of the sassafras and is a bland and
soothing drink in fevers, when the
mouth is dry and great thirst exists. II
is frequently retained gratefully when
plain water is elected.
It is astonishing how muoilaginous a
small quantity of this pith makes a
tumbler of water, which becomes thick,
as gum arabic water. A mere teaspoon
full of the pith taken out Of the small
green branches of the bush will make
three or four tumblerfuls of thick mu-
cilage.
For inflamed eyes this muoilaginout
water is very soothing and curative and
has long been u:ed for ell forms Of in.
flammation of delicate tissues, but is sc
simple that it is ignored by the profes
sion.
The oil of sassafras, which is made
from the root as we'll as other parts ol
the plant, makes a splendid liniment
for pains and aches in combination with
turpentine in proportion of one-third Of
the former to two-thirds of the latter
Other stimulating tinotures, such al
spirits of ammonia, are sometimes add
ed, but the chief ingredient of the light
ming liniments hawked about by timer
ant quacks are composed principally Of
sassafras oil, which is really pungent
and effective.

wanted, a Holograph win.

A Canadian barrister is responsible
for the following: One day a farmer
came into his office and requested that
a Photograph will should be prepared for
his signature. The lawyer began at
once to explain terms, but the tiller Of
the prairie, who prided himself not a
little upon his legal knowledge, only
grew angry. Iwant Photograph will, :"
he declared, "and I'm going to have
it, he added in parenthesis. When the
impossibility of his request was still
pointed out he angrily stumped from
the office shouting out: "D-n It'll If
can't have Photograph will, I'll blamed

Almost as funny was the tradesman
who had recently been left some land.
He came to the lawyer with instruo-
tions for deed of transfer to be pre-
pared in favor Of himself. On being
asked his reasons, he gave them thus:
Don't feel sort of comfortable about
that bit of country. I know how par
ticular you lawyer gents are, and /
thought maybe that if | signed deed

one would be able to touch it" When
his application was refused, he went
away in rage, and subsequently tried
to bring an action against the lawyer,
who, he imagined, was trying to de-
fraud him.-Cornhill Magazine.

The KfngmakeF.

The Earl of Warwick, commonly
called the ''kingmaker, - from the fac
ulty with which he created and deposed
monarchs during the contest between
the house of York and Lancaster, lived
in style of magnificence and hospitality
of which no period perhaps furnishes
an example. No less than 80, 900 per-
sons are said to have lived at bis board
in the different manors and castles
which he possessed. and the military,
aIiured by his hospitality as we'll as his
bravery, were strongly attached to his
interests This distinguished warrior fell
at the battle of Barnet in 1471, when,
owing to the mistake of one part of his
army falling upon the other during a
fog, he was defeated by Edward Nv.
In former battles Warwick had al
ways fought on horseback, that he
might at once ride along the line and
perceive the particulars of the action,
but on this occasion he determined to
fight on foot, that his soldiers might
see that he was resolved to share with
them the dangers of the day. After hav-
ing exerted himself as an officer and a
hero in fruitless attempts to turn the
tide of fortune in his favor he rushed
into the hottest part of the battle and
fell covered with wounds. His brother,
Montacute, in endeavoring to save him
met with similar fate.-Nuggets.
