THIS AND THAT.

Five ounces and a half of grapes
are required to make one glass of good
wine.
During the present century 400
human lives, f25,0O0,O0O, and 200
ships have been lost in fruitless efforts
to find the norm pole.
In one day recently, sixty prairie
schooners, making a string about a
mile long, passed Guthrie, o. r., on
their way to the Kiowa and Comanche
country. They were mostly from Kan
sas or Missouri.
The distance from New York to
San Francisco by water, around Cape
Horn, is 1860 miles. BY the 18TH
main canal the distance between the
same points would be 4,907 miles-a
saving of 1878 miles.
No one has been able to give a sat-
isfactory reason for the formation
adopted by the wild duck or mallard

selves in two converging lines like a

New York city has growing num-
Der OF tropical plantations well with

Central and Riverside parks there
have been cultivated during the sum-

When the knight Of the fourteenth
century came into a company of
friends he lifted his helmet, signify
ing; 81 am safe in the presence Of
friends" The days of the knight
are no more, but the polite practice Of
lifting the hat is a survival Of the
knightly custom.
Most of the 1917 claims paid by an
accident company for the month of
June last were caused by the use Of
tools or machinery. Forty-one per-
sons were thrown from vehicles and
the same number from bicycles Thir-
teen were injured by street cars and
only three by electricity. One man
claimed to have been bitten by hare,
but this geological novelty has been
held for investigation. The amount
paid for the month was $85, 436.

interesting family around a coy
winter fire, while his mother and
sisters are well provided for in the
college property near by, but his
party, DESTROYS ofrewarding merit,
have elevated him to the highest

We congratulate you, Judge

learned my trade with one of my I'M
cles, who was an expert goldsmith,
and when he died, years ago, / fell
heir to his bench and table and the
kit of tools with which he had worked
for upward of quarter of century.
The table was a massive affair, made
of oak, that had turned almost as
black as ebony, and the top was fully
six inches thick. 1t was built extra
heavy in order to give it steadiness,
and it mounted a small lathe and pol
Usher, operated by treadle. The
bench was also of oak and was simply
three thick slabs-seat and end pieces,
doyetailed together
81 found the old outfit rather I'M
comfortable to work at compared
with modern shop fixtures, and, as
it occupied great deal of room, |
finally decided to break it up. Luck
lily it occurred to me to see whether
the table top contained any gold that
might be profitably recovered, and,
splitting off a piece of the wood, |
was surprised to find the pores lit
erallychoked with the precious metal.
| did not understand the method
used in extracting, and turned the
bench and table over to mint ex-
pert on shares. He cut the wood into
small slivers and treated it with acid.
1t was a tedious job, and | have since
been told that we lost good deal OF
the metal by not burning the pieces
and then smelling the ash; but, at
any rate, the process yielded us a
little over $3.50. For years and years
the lathe had sent shower of i'm
palpable gold dust over the table top
and bench, and in the course of time
it had entirely permeated the wood.
The interior of the thick slabs spark
led with it when they were laid open
by the saw, and there was scarcely a
scrap that did not yield its quota OF
the metal.
"The floor of the gold room at the
New Orleans mint is taken up and
treated with acid once every two
years; but, of course, it is no such
bonanza as my old fixtures turned out
to be. believe about 500 is re-
covered from it on an average"
