MODERN MINE sALTINe.-
The Way This swIndIe Is ArffulIy
Worked In Mexico.

milne sailing nowadays has devel-
oped into a very nice art" said an en-
gineer and assayer who has lately re-
turned from the inspection of some
properties in old Mexico. In former
times it was done crudely. A rascal
who wanted to give fictitious value to
q worthless prospect hole generally
bought or stole a sack of high grade
ore and simply scattered it about the
excavation, where the victim would be
likely to pick up few pieces for sam
pling. If an exposed ledge was to be
dealt with, he sometimes filed up a $50
gOldpiece, loaded the dust into q shot
gun and fired it against the surface
from which specimens would be taken.
But at present greater finesse is
needed. The up to date purchaser in
sists upon having fresh ore blasted out
from beneath the surface, where 1t
could not possibly be tempered with,
and seals it up in a little canvas sack
for the assayer with his own hands.
1t is then that the latest development,
the hypOdermic syringe, comes into
play. The scientific mine salter has
one Of these handy little implements
I'm his coat pocket, charged with a solu-
ton of chloride of gold.
He watches for an opportunity, and
when one presents itself quietly thrusts
the tip Of the needle through the can
vas sack and gives the piston Il gentle
push. The consequence is that few
drops of the liquid are discharged over
tie surface of the ore. The quantity OF
gold in the solution is almost infinitesi-
NAL, but it is enough to run up an as
say $1,000 a ton.
Meanwhile the victim is tranquil liz
the knowledge that he has selected the
samples himself and has them safely
sacked under his own private seal.
HypOdermlc mine sailing is all the &c
in Mexico at present. 1t beats the old
method to death."-New Orleans
Times Democrat.

Out of Sight.

An English cotton buyer in Memphis
was talking with the clerk OF one OF
the hotels the other day when n COM
mercial traveller came up How you
feeling. Bill?" said the clerk as he eX-
tended his hand. "Oh. I'm just out OF
sight" replied the drummer.
After the commercial man had been
assigned his room the EngliShman
turned TO the clerk and inquired what
lie meant by "Out OF sight" The clerk
explained that he meant he was feel
ing fine. and the Englishman recorded
IL I'm his little book.
The next morning when he same
down to breakfast the clerk. following
his usual custom. asked how he felt.
The Englishman thought IL a good time
to try some OF his newly learned slang
and. with the air of one who has solv-
ed n difficult problem. replied. "Oh.
you HAUNT see me at all"'-Memphis

RUSSIAN POLICEMEN.
New Governors Test For Their
AIertness WINS IA Failure.

New GOVERNOR Test For Their
AIertness was "a Failure.
a good story is being told in st. Pc
tersburg of the Russian police which
the papers pronounce to be exceeding
ly characteristic. \ new governor was
sent to certain town in the interior,
and the inhabitants at once began to
complain that the police were badly
organized. since, however much they
We're wanted, they would never come
when they were sent for. The govern
or determined TO test this for himself,
so one night he set out for the bar
racks where the police and the fire
brigade were quartered. He accOsted
the sentry: -.
DO you know meE"
Eyes, your eXcellency."
eff a man was being murdered close
by. would you quit your pOstT"
Never your eXcellency."
Good" said the governor. "You
know your duty. Well, what would
you dO?"
81 would blow my whistle to rouse
the guard"
Good Let us suppose some one Is
being murdered here. Whistle"
The soldier blew. but not a soul an
swered. He blew again and again,
but the same silence prevailed
THAT will do" said the governor at
last. You have whistled your utmost.
and nobody has come; but. at any rate.
your conscience is tranquil. Now you
can go to sleep. The man could have
been murdered two or three times over.
1t is unnecessary to Overdo It by trying
To wake your comrades, who appear to
sleep like the dead. The car should
be proud OF such steady soldiers"
With that the governor went Off,
congratulating himself that no one
would be likely to accuse his police OF
having n share in the midnight muir
derS OF the town.

The Great American Sport.

Foot ball is leading American sport, out
rivaing, perhaps, base ball and prize fight
ing. Prize fighting is an all-year sport, base
ball occupies attention about six months, and
foot ball is essentially a fall game. Of the lat
ter, there have been some interesting contests
this season. The Yale Princeton game last
Saturday was witnessed by thousands of per
sons, and society was out in full style and beau
ty. The New York papers devoted page to a
description of the game, including pictures of
the scrimmage. 1t is related that Pell, the
Prineetoa captain, came out of every tackle
with hair in one hand and sample of cloth 7
ing in the other" 1t was a great game, but
only four men were crippled.
The most scientific game of the season
was played" last Saturday between Gin
cinnati College team and Kentucky College
team. 1t must have been a dandy, ms 1t is
related that the Cincinnati boys were taken
direct to hospital upon their arrival home.
A Cincinnati dispatch says-"Among the
Cincinnati players most seriously injured were
Coach Reed, scalp wound, head badly cut;
Cook, scalp laid open; Slayer, scalp wound,
head terribly cut; VanMake, injured head and
body; Smedley, injured on head and arm.
