The Slrtlar,. Charm.

The story goes that the Sidar pos- sesses a charm which comes from In dia. and which brings him luck wher- ever he tours. That he is one of the uckiest men in Europe goes without saying. Lord Kitchener received a telegram of congratulation from the queen on the fact that Mahdism has now been given it's final blow. The sidar replied, Your most gracious majesty, the man who does not accomplish his aim is failure. have lived to overthrow Mahdism, and the nineteen years l have struggled for It's abolition have now been crowned with success. My mission is accom- 9iished.

WHERE GOLD GROWS.
tesil Deposits of the Precious Metal
 Every YeaR.


 Every YeaF.
 There are localities where golu may be said to grow every year, or, in other words, where fresh deposits of the precious metal are to be found annu- ally, says Answers 7 One such dis trict is in the Edmonton country, iD tha Canadian northwest, where, after he spring floods from the same banks md abenches9 of the Saskatchewan river. there are taken every year -eon~ siderable quantities Of gold by 9 few diggers, wbo make their living out oG tha business. Bet the most conspicu- ous and Interesting case Of this sort is te be seen near Iehang, in the pro. vince of FFupeb, in China For many centuries past each year gold has been washed rom the banks Of coarse gray q on beth sides of the River Han, and in the midst of the auriferous district there is an ancient town called Uiku- ten, which means Gold Diggers' Inn ]" Its inhabitants subdiyide the gold bearing ground among themselves an- nually. stalking out their claims with partitions. They pay no royalty and appear to earn no more than a bare suBaistaHee. but this may be doubted, as John Ghinaman is an adept at lay in low and sayin' nofIin'." The an- nual river floods bring down millions of tons of mud and sand, which is charged with gold, both fine and in flakes, is deposited to depth of six Inches or more on the banks of gravel. It is in the winter that the gold is washed, and il is said that seven men work about twenty tons of the pay dirt" in a day

When there is much flying and calling down 10 dc. they are usually fed with millet, which is So small that ft keeps them 5atine I9ag time without filing them.

ORIGIN OF THE SLED.
Seems te Have Come from Country
 Where Snow Is Unknown.


 Dr. Kar0tz, an original scholar Of Lubeck, has just completed some val~ uable investigations relative to the in- vention of the sled. After long study he comes to the conclusion that prim- itiye man probably arrived at the idea of the sled from seeing trees slip and slide down the mountains. In Madeira. for instance, where there is never any snow, sleds drawn by oxen are used inst as they are n the Philippines It IS a development from the idea of man dragging burden along the ground, when it was too heavy for him to lift it up and carry it. He at first hitched his dog to the deer that he had just killed and both dragged 1t toward the cave or hut in which they liYed When lie saw logs slide down the mountain side the idea of using smooth logs that would slide over the ground easily when drawn by himself or one of his animals was the next step in the development of the sled Primitive peoples like the Malays Of she Philippines, and the unprogres- s4Xe peasants of Madeira, still use the sleds invented by their ancestors thou sands of years ago. In countries where ice and snow are found it is probable that the very fact of man slipping on the ice showed some inventive per- son that there was an easy way to carry what he wanted to transfer from one place to another, and so first pull ing a branch along over the frozen snow instead of earryi Ing it, he thought of putting other things on the branch, he trimmed off the twigs and leaves that caught in the stumps and other trees, and the beginning of the sled had come. The joining together of two logs, and shaping them were only steps in the perfection of the earliest method of transportation which antedated the ink ention of wheeled vehicles by many ce1 turies.-Detroit Free Press.

PEDLAR LOCKED IN.
Soma Joker Shut Him Up In William
 McGrath's Barn.

McOrdtn baIn.
 A Russian Jew pedlar had a rather peculiar experience on Magill street this morning and before he got out of the place he had lost two bags of rags and a portion of one side of his WhiSkers and almost shouted himself to death. It seems the old fellow stopped some where in the neighboH- hood of Fuller and Magill streets and was engaged in a still hunt for rags when a crowd of youngsters collared him and shut him up in William Me Grath'S barn and while he was on the inside made away with all the stock he had collected during the morning. MT McGrath was not out of bed at the time and hearing the racket in the barn he thought one of the horses got loose and was kicking things to pieces and hurried out half dressed . to see what was up. When he reach ed the barn he saw the pedlar look ing out through an attic window talking and gesticulating in a manner which showed that he was not at all satisfied with his quarters and want ed to regain his liberty as quickly as possible. The owner of the place did not know what to make of the situation. The door was bolted and all the windows were well secured so that no one could get in and how this fellow happened to be there was more than he could understand. The pedlar was scared and presented an appearance that would lead anyone to believe that he was not in his right mind. and in order to make no mis- take McGrath decided to call some of the neighbors before opening the door. When the man saw him going away he concluded that he was one of his tormentors and fearing that he was going to be imprisoned indetinately he yelled louder than ever and soon had half the neighbOrhOod around him. They came from all sections and ac- cording as the new corners rushed around and they saw the man in the attic window, making frantic efforts to get out, and noticed MT McGrath running here and there, half naked, their inauguration knew no bounds. All wanted to know what had hap pened and when they could get no satisfactory explanation from Me
 Grath or anyone else, the thoughts that flashed through their minds can be more easily imagined than de Scrfbed. After good deal of excite ment the door was opened and the man bounded out into the yard an started to look for his property, and not being able to find it lie became furious and it was a long time before he came down so that he was able to explain how he came to be ill the barn. He said Il gang of young fellows dragged him by the whskers and shut ilim up in the building and that he had been there for some time An effort was made to pacify him, but it was in vain, so long as the rags. which could not be found at he time. were missing. It was said later that the pedlar was in the barn when some joker saw him and bOlted the door on him for the fun of it. Be that as it may, it is certain that the poor fel- low got shock that he will be apt 10 remember during the remainder of his life, and MT McGrath will be slow to forget the experience, too.

HORSE THIEVES OVERTAKEN.

Arrested Near Naugatuck-Taken
 Back to New Haven To-day
 Naugatuck, Conn, Dec 26.-Oficer John II. Coonan and John T. Horan, of the New Haven police, arrived here early this morning, having in custody Patrick T. Gavin, of South Framing ham, Mass and Burt Downes, of Nau- gatuck, on the charge of horse steal ing. The men were captured with three horses in their possession, on the way from New Haven to Waterbury. where the police say, the horses would have been shipped to Massachusetts.
 The three animals which the men are accused of taking wrongfully were shipped from Natick, Mass. on Christ mas day to James Ferguson, a New Haven livery stable keeper. They were sent by a dealer named Darling, with whom the New Haven man is said to have made a blind swap, each offering three horses which the other had not seen. Mr Darling, of Natick. arrived in New Haven Tuesday and called on the New Haven man to view the Iatter's horses. The Natick horses reached New Haven about Il o'clock, and before NIr Ferguson went to get them they were removed from the tram and spirited away by others. One or the men who took the horses repre- scented himself to the train clerk as Mr Fergusons brother, but when he signed the receipt for the animals he wrote his name as Gavin. It was not until some time afterWard that the train clerk. E. l.. Donovan, realized that thCre was something irregular in the delivery of the horses and notified inc DOlice The thieves took the horses to Westville, where saddles were pro cured and they were riding rapidly to- ward Naugatuck when the officers overlook them. They were taken Dack to New Haven this forenoon.

THE MILLER BENEFIT.
The Program Is Now About Com Dleted For Testimonial

The Program Is Now About Com
 pleted For Testimonial.
 Next Sunday evening at City hall will be held the sacred concert which is to be given for the benefit of the family of the late Thomas B. Miller. It was postponed for two weeks be- cause of the death of Mir Miller, and since that time the committees in charge have been working hard to get the program in readiness for next Sun day evening. It will be an interest ing program and the funds derived from the benefit will come in very handy just at the present time. When Mat Miller was alive and in good health there was no man more willing to assist in any charitable undertak- ing and his was the first hand that was held out in case of necessity. His friends expect to realize enough from the benefit to assist Mrs Miller and her child, and all contributions will be thankfully received by any member of the committee. The tickets to the concert are only 25 cents.
