GOLD DUST PENETRATEs.

able. / learned my trade with one OF my
uncles. 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 a
quarter of a century. The table was a
massive affair, made of oak, that had
TUNED almost as black as ebony, and the
top was fully six inches thick. 1t was
built extra heavy in order to give 1T stead
mess, and 1t mounted a small lathe and
polisher, operated by a treadle. The bench
was also of oak and was simply three thick
slabs-seat and end pieces, dovetailed to-
gether without nails. l found the old out
fit rather uncomfortable to work at, COM
pared with modern shop fixtures. and. as it
occupied a great deal of room, / finally
decided to break ii up. Luckily it occurred
to me to see whether the table top con-
tanned any gold that might be profitably
recovered, and, splitting off a piece of the
wood, I was surprised to find the pores
literally choked with the precious metal
/ did not understand the method used in
extracting, and turned the bench and table
over to mint expert on shares. He cut
the wood into small slivers and treated
ii with acid. 1t was a tedious job, and L
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 a shower of impalpable gold dust over
the table top and bench. and in the course
of time IL had entirely permeated the wood
The interior of the thick slabs sparked
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, ii
is no such a bonanza as my old fixtures
turned out to be. L believe about 500 is
recovered from it on an average"

The founder Of the Boxer society, a
Chinaman ma med Jue, was at one time
the Emperor's prime fayorite. During
the Chinese-Japanese war, when it
seemed that the Japanese might estab-
lish themselves in the country, he founded
the society of the Long Knives, " whose
members swore to rise and kill the in
vaders at a given moment. When the
Japanese had retired the Long Kniyes''
began to murder the foreigners, and
especially Catholic Christians. Bishop
Won Amer protested to the Pekin gov
eminent, and as he was undoubtedly
backed up by the German government
an imperial order was given Jue to sup
press the Long Knives - He did so but
at the same time re-organized them under
the name of 1.-The Bloody Fist Bishop
Won Amer does not know why the Eng
fish have translated this into Boxers, "
although the reason would seem to be p
natural one. OF course all revolutionary
movements drag in their vortex the idle,
the vicious and the restless, and quite
often pass out of control of their Origina-
tors into the reckless and cruel hands
OF the latter classes. Thus, it is not sur
prising that in Pekin the Boxer move
ment has resulted in massacre. The bet
ter men in the movement probably do not
wish this, but they can hardly help it.
Bishop Won Amer does not believe that
the western nations should think of dis
membering China, since the problem
would be too vast, involving the main
tenance Of great armies.

POLITICS AND SARDINES.
Eastport Has an Issue which Is All Its
Own.

PASSPORT, July 7.-There promises to be
a hot fight in this island city over the
nomination, and later election, of the
can didate for the legislature since it is
rumored that the sardine trust will take
hand in the matter and help to put in
their favorite. 1t is whispered here this
week that an attempt will be made by in
terested parties in the big sardine syndi-
cate to cut another large slice off the
present law relating to the season S pack
of fish. 1t is stated that they may in
garding the close time changed from
May 10, as at present, to August 1st, and
since the time for closing is December
1st, this cuts the sardine canning season
down to four months. This will affect
many thousand resi- dents along the east
ern Maine coast, especially in Eastport
and Lubec and since the story is out,
there is little chance of such candidate
getting the votes of the workingman 1t
is known that Lawyer John H. McFauI
will be candidate in the Republican
party and it is rumored that General
Samuel d. Leayitt, the present mayor
here, may be- out for the position under
the same party, if it should be offered.
The Democratic party will have their
caucus next Monday evening when a can
didate will be nominated for this position
that may mean considerable to tn e
workingmen Of the city. 1t is said that
the seasons pack of sardines will be full
ly 100. 900 cases shorter than that of re-
cent years unless the syndicate factories
are soon started up and as each case is
equal to about one dollar in labor, the
loss to the employees is well on to the $1GO
600 mark on the eastern Maine Goa st
where sardines are put up.

WHERE Is MISS GOULDg
Perplexity Caused by Message Which
Was Received ON Saturday

DIR. Daniels called Major Gould up by
telephone Saturday forenoon and repeated
this cablegram just received in Boston
from Rev. Henry G. Ewing at Chefoo,
July 5:
Smiths, Wcykoffs, Chapins, Coined,
Whiting (Presbyterian) besieged in Brit
ish legation, Pekin.
Pitlxin and Morrill, with Yamen at PaO
Ting Flu.
Wilder, Patterson, think safe at Tien
Tsin.
Porter and Perkins at Chefoo.
No information from Kalgan and
Shansi people; they may have escaped by
way of Mongolia.
The serious question is what is mean t
by Coined. 1t looks very much like
Gould when written with pen, and
there is possibility that Miss Annie
Gould went up to Pekin to attend the
annual meeting convened about May "a
or rs and lasting till June or z. Her
name should be mentioned as with Mr..
Pitkin and Miss Morrill, at Pao Ting Flu
if she We're really there at home. The
railroad was destroyed May 81 or June 1,
and if she left Poa Ting Flu at ali she
would hardly have got back.
/ I'll U1t OOIGE uctuO UlcI0 HIS OcCA 11O
mention of her by name as at Pekin
either by cable as late as June II or by
| letter to the Board dated Pekin June 2.
Major Gould's latest news from his
daughter was card dated Pao Ting Flu
May %. There was nothing there and has
been nothing in any of Miss Gould's let
tiers or from Miss Morrill, limiting tina
anyone would go to the annual meeting
from Pao Ting Flu. Furthermore it is
not understood how Mr.. Ewing could
have learned of Miss Gould's where
abouts. He is plainly in error about the
Wilders and Miss Patterson who cabled
ten days ago from Shanghai that they
were ''out' and on their way to Kobe,
Japan.
In view of conflicting reports the offic-
ials of the American board express the
opinion that Miss Gould remained with
Mr. Pitkin and Miss Morrill, at Pao Ting
Flu, instead of going to the general meet
ing.
1t is the opinion of the board that the
Wilders and Miss Patterson, who are
reported at Shanghai, are on their way to
Japan, as a cablegram received from
them several days ago gave the infOrma
ton that after June 30 they c0ul d be
found at Kobe.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the

about 80 of the noblesse, headed by a
prince of the blood, Philip of Orleans,

fortunes with the commons. That this
