Some years ago an inquisitive med
ical student, while examining the gull
lotinc In big WaNWur, exhibition in
London, took II into his head that the
sort of yoke which fits down on the
shoulders of the criminal TO hold him
in his place would not he sufficient to
continc a person who struggled
His curiosity on that point led him
to watch till the place was empty,
when he actually put himself In, let
ting down the yoke. He soon found,
however, that he was quite unable to
lift It, and II ut once flashed into his
mind that the sharp az suspended over
his neck might not be firmly fixed, or it
would fall as it should, with touch.
He was afraid to struggle lest the
shaking should bring il down and at
onee deposit his head in the basket Of
sawdust below him, into which his
eyes were of necessity steadily look
ing.
Having staid some time in this
plight. he was ovcrJoyed to hear the
approach of n visitor, whom he i'm
plorcd TO release him. 1t was in vain.
I'm thinking" said the gentleman,
n Scottish visitor to the metropolis,
to his WIFE, that he must be hired to
show how the thing acts, ana l think
we'd better not interfere"
So the luckleSs student was left till
one of the attendants came In and
made fast the aN before releasing him
from his prcdicament. The aN was
afterward removed and laid 10y the
side of the structure to prevent future
accidents.

No Truth In Stories of Termination
After Thousands OF Years.
THE statement is frequently made
In the popular press" said Professor
J.. IL. Pammel, government botanist,
that seeds have retained their vitality
for Il long time Thus 1t Is stated that
wheat under some conditions has pre-
served its vitality for so or 100 years.
1t has frequently been stated that
whent taken from Egyptian monu-
ments terminated, but in not n single
case Is this termination authenticated.
Not II single grain taken from an an.
Client Egyptian sarcophagus and sown
by various persons has ever been
known to terminate, and the condi-
lions for preserving the seed in these
Egyptian monuments are better than
In the soil They are protected from the
air and variations of temperature. The
experiment which has been most talk.
ed of Is that of the Count of Sternherg
ut Prague lie had received the grains
from n trustworthy traveller, who told
him that they were taken from
sarcophagus II is said that two of
these seeds terminated, but 1t Is well
known fact that Imposturcs are per
petratcd by the people who dispose OF
these seeds In some eases they have
even stripped corn or maize into these
snrcophagi
MANY experiments have been made,
not only in this country, but In Europe,
to determine the vitality of various
grain seeds. Thus, barley retains Its
vitality better than any other cereal,
and this Is said to retain it's vitality
from eight to ten years, In the case
Of wheat 30 to 100 per cent terminates
in from one TO four years; in five to
seven years, 50 TO 81 per cent In the
case of rye the percentage of germina.
ton In five years dropped to IS per
cent; in seven years, SO per cent; nine
years, Is per cent. In the case of corn,

ago to determine the vitality and found
that corn which was kept in tightly
closed vessels at the age of 20 years

Experiments also Indicate that corn

THE ONE SURE THING.


There are sounds Of laughter and singing
And sounds that Of woe make part
As the earth TO its fate goes swinging,
But love Is lord Of the heart,
And cloudy or fair the weather
Some souls will be drifting together
And souls be drifting apart
Dark evil may lurk in the byways,
Still blinking in wrath at the dawn,
And tho terror leap forth on the highways
OF the sword from its soabbard withdrawn,
But cloudy or fair the weather
Some souls will be drifting together
Aud souls be drifting apart.
Though unmoved by the poets dreaming.
Men tarry too long in the mart
And grow cold In the pride Of their seheming.
Yet love Is lord Of the heart,
And cloudy or fair the weather
Some souls will be drifting together
And some be drifting apart

The UxIiest Beast,

Probably the ugliest beast in the
world is a monkey, n grewsome look
ing animal called the bearded saki.
This Is so utterly gtotesque n beast
that 1t would scarcely be safe TO let n
child or nervous person see it. The
ugllness is not of an amusing kind. but
of an evil, sinister nature The beast
has sort of beard and countenance
unlike anything else in shape and lines.
The monkey itself Is not particularly
savage, but is SO hideous that the ma
tivcs of Its country, South America,
say that no beast of prey, however
hungry, win tackle II. Even hungry

A COTTON PLANT.


The story of One shown ON the New
York Exchange.
There Is story still told TO visitors
to the New York Cotton Exchange
which always amuses its tellers quite
as much as its hearers. II concerns n
very superb specimen of the cotton
plant which was brought into the eX-
change one October morning years ago
and placed In the center of the pit
around which gather every day the
men who buy and sell millions of bales
of the white staple every month.
There had been bad weather in Tex
as that season, with reports of irrep-
arabic damage to the crop, but this
superb plant, laden with bolls through
out It's six feet of height and coming,
as II did, from Waco, in the most inn
portant cotton section of the Lone Star
State, was exhibited rs conclusive
proof that the stories of ruined crop
were certainly false. All New York $
big cotton operators came TO look ut
II and TO admire 1t, and most of them
remained to sell few thousand bales.
IF that Is what Waco can produce"
they said, "the Texas crop alone will
he big enough TO put cotton down II
cent or two per pound"
Late in the day, however. there
strolled into the exchange n shrewd
old farmer from one of the cotton
states east of the Mississippi. lie had
heard Of six foot cotton plants from
Texas, and he wanted TO see one. \
single look ut this specimen was suflt
cient.
"IIumbug," he said THAT plant is
made of wax, and it grew in South
Fifth avenue"
And so 1t proved. The hoax had
demonstrated what Its authors assert
ed, that very few people In New York,
even among cotton brokers. would
know n cotton plant If they saw one

Success In Mining.

d Ii needs to be said, again aud again,
remarks one of our exchanges, that
mining is an industry demanding, as
the price of success, all the requisites
of other undertakings. These are ex-
perience, judgment, prudence, fore.
sight and economical methods. When
they are brought to bear, mining ceases
to be an adventure, and becomes
business. Indeed, when these quail.
ties are brought into requisition, min
ing today offers better opportunities
than other lines of enterprise.
Perhaps in no other industry does
sound judgment count for more, 1t is
important that one start in tho right
place, develop in the right way, and
operate with close economy. In a
country abounding in mineral, the
mistake should never be made of ex-
tending large sums OF money without
good surface Indications. .94
n Having q promising prospect, some.
thing more than luck is requi red 10
convert it into paying mine. 4 sin
gle false step may bring disaster where
the skilled miner would have found
success. And often so narrow Is the
margin between profit and loss that
one may possess the elements of a
good property, aud yet suffer losses
through unskilled mining, or loose
management, where correct methods
would bring profits.
This principle of success and failure
extends to every industry and line of
business. Two men start in business
in the same field, with the same capi-
tai aud the same opportunities. One
achieves the fullest measure of sue
csss; the other goes into bankruptcy
Two farmers work across the road
from each other, having the same soil,
the same number of acres, the same
obligations and the same market. One
becomes prosperous, the other is sold
out by the sheriff, And in like degree
one man fails at mint g where another
succeeds.
These are facts not to be forgotten
\ in mining, and they may be supple
mented with other general observations
No man should exhaust his regular
business to engage in something with
which he is not conversant. Nor should
be put money into mines which ought
to be devoted to the payment of his
debts. Nor venture money in mining
unless he has full confidence in the
integrity, ability and judgment of the
operator.
Regard for these warnings may save
many needless losses and facilitate
the substantial development or the
country's, mining resonrces.-Ameri-
can Mining News.

Production aud Individual Incentive.

The excuse is sometimes given that
measures which increase the prodnc-
tive capacity of the workman, throw
Others out of employment. This is the
same old charge that has always been
brought against labor saving machines
and methods, aud its absurdity has
been proven too often to receive much
con Iiderstion here. 1t should be well
understood that a certain amount of
production is necessary to maintain
existence. That amount varies in pro.
portion to the increase in the popula-
tion of the world, aud the advancement
of civilization. As people become more
civilized ard enlightened their wants
are increased; to meet the increase
there must be corresponding im-
provement In the methods of produc-
tion. Stop that improvement, and yon
stop civilization. Nature. working
through the avarice and ambition of
man supplies this Improvement. The
time may come when all labor NAV be
paid according to its productive ca.
paci'y. Theoretically, that is the only
Just method of remuneration. 1t is
placing the matter where it belongs.
under that inexorable law of nature
the survival OF the fittest. All develop
ment is In that direction, and com pc.
tition in manufacturing demands it.
Tbe observance of this law does not
require that the weak should be left to
sufier; but means other than the re.
strain OF the it test should be provided
ior their care--M. Cokely, Ia the En-.
