A RUSSIAN SALT.
Found In Copper Mines and Known
in Chemical Pariance as MaIa-
chite, Azurite, Etc.

There is strange kind of salt,
which is blue and green and pink and
all other colors combined. 1t is not
at all like table salt and is not salt to
the taste. 1t is found in copper mines,
and Is used to ornament chairs and
cabinets and so forth, says the Chicago
Chronicle. The largest and finest
pieces of this strange substance are
taken from the mines of Siberia And ii
was the Russians who first found IA
way of using it. That required great
deal of thought and patience, for the
substance cannot be melted and it
breaks easily. The only way to pre-
pare it for use is to slice il into thin
strips, join the strips together with
ceNent and polish the surface. When
this is done it looks like dark pearl,
With its wavy lines and changeful color
effects.
The chemical name for this sub
stance is carbonate ofcopper, for ii is
formed of carbonic acid and copper.
However. the green variety is known
to dealers in il as malachite, and the
blue kind is called azurite. In some of
the churches in Russia there are large
columns of malachite, which look as
solid as marble and far handsomer.
In the palace OF Versailles, near Paris,
there is room in which the furniture
and mautels are made of this same
salt. Azurite, because ii is more brit
tie than malachite, is less used.

STORY TELLER'S LOST CHANCE

Glorious Opportunity to I'M
prove on 1t.

DR.. Joseph Walsh, of the University
Of PENNSYLVANIA, saw the Passion Play
al Oberammergau, and one evening
lately he entertained a party of friends
with his impressions of the spectacle,
relates the Philadelphia Record. "One
day while we were staying there, he
said, my sister and | were standing
on a bridge that crossed a stream,
when we noticed a picturesque Tyro-
lean peasant on the bank. He was a
big, handsome fellow-as handsome a
specimen of physical manhood as /
think | have ever seen. He saw that
we were watching him, and he returned
the compliment by sizing us up, and
smiling. My sister was carrying a
parasolsand this slipped from her hand
and fell into the stream below.
THE big peasant, without a mo-
ment's hesitation, waded out into the
water, rescued the parasol, and re-
turned it to us. We learned later that
he was one of the Passion Play actors.
taking the character of St. John. Quite
an interesting experience, wasn't it?'
"Oh, | don't know" remarked one of
the doctors friends, whose bump of
veneration is not largely developed.
IF had been telling the story | should
have made the fellow play the part of
st. Peter. In that case he.might have
simply walked out on the water for the
parasol instead of wading in and get
tinu wet"

and the river and watching the purple
shadows creep across the green and
yellow shoulders of the Sierras.
Meanwhile the Hardness had moved
to Sacramento, living there in sur
passing grandeur, rich beyond the
young dreams of partner Nat" and
forgetful of the silent one left alone
on the bar. Bill never visited. Nat
aever visited. But only one of them
forgot.
One day a black-bordered letter ad-
dressed to "Mr. William Shea" came
to the Placerville post office. Bill got
1t, and the next day, dressed in an
old suit of shining broadcloth, he went
down in the stage to the west-bound
train. Sophie didn't know him at the
funeral. If she saw him at all through
her tears she did not recognize the
white-haired, bent old hermit of the
bar. He came back silent as he went,
and resumed the aimless routine of
washing the sands from which all gold
had vanished.
One Saturday old Bill failed to show
up at his trading place in Placerville,
and jenkins, the trader, knew some
thing was wrong. Jenk was one Of
the old-timers and he had figured the
silent man one for himself. So he
rode over to the bar with Bills weekly
supply of bacon and -four. He found
the hermit sick and in bed. The hearth
was as bare as the old pine cupboard,
but Bill paid for the grub and thanked
jenkins into the bargain. The pile
ofyeliow dust that the hermit weighed
out was a very little pile, but the
trader knew better than to pry into
poor Bill's affairs.
A week later Mrs. Nat Harkins, nee
Tiffin, arrived in Placerville and was
duly heraIded in the weekly newspa-
per. She found Bill, and, wanting to
help him. didn't know how to go about
it. She argued to the effect that the
money he had loaned her husband was

Pryn felt to his Utmost being that he
was painting the picture he had al.
ways hoped 10 paint, something that
was human, truly typical of phase
of life, vivid and beautiful. 1t is
needless to say that Mamie was de-
lighted with the picture. 1t seemed
to her that she had awakened from a
dream She saw herself as she was,
she felt raised above groveling, actu-
al existence. She forgot her hard
life, her rough, red hands, her re-
sponsipility. Hector Pryn liked to
talk 60 her, to hear her crude opin-
ions, her naive comments. Then he
made some extra ordinary discover
les. Despite her hard work and
wages, despite her constant endeav-
or, Nan was perpetual pauper.
Miss Lily had to watch her to
keep her from going ragged. As
for the boy, Louis, he was curly
haired scarecrow who was strictly
forbidden the front yard because of
his dilapidated appearance.
"But her money" gasped Hector, |
what does she do with it?"
"She has a horde of relatives" !
replied Miss Lily, calmly, "and !
some of them are always in want or
sick and dying. You have never
heard the name she goes by, have
you? ] forgot to tell you, we're so
used TO it. She's known far and near
as 'Free-iIearted Nam"
