Paganini, the wonderful v~iolinist,

concerts-he insisted on being paid in
gold-used to wash his hands in SOW

A French novelist, soulle, wrote a
book entitled "The Memoirs of the
Devil" 1t took; the publisher paid
him for the first volume $40, 900 in
gold. The author carried the coin to
his bedroom, poured it into a foot
bath and enjoyed for half an hour the
excitement of moving his feet to and
fro in a bath of gold coins, smoking,
meanwhile, the biggest of Havanas.

r TN COIN.

A Boston merchant of great wealth,
believing that certain symptoms in
dicated that he would become insane,
consulted a specialist, and under his
advice became an inmate of a private
asylum. For twelve years his recrea-
ton was the piling of gold coins and
then knocking them over. At times
he washed his hands in gold eagles
and half-eagles. At the end of the
long seclusion he returned to his
counting room, and in twelve months
confirmed the thoroughness of his re-
covery by making $500, 900. He died of
yellow fever in Cuba, where he had

Progress Promoted by Poverty

Poverty is an incentive and a dis
cipline. If most of us were rich and
had nothing to work for the world
would be lazy and degenerate, soft
ened with luxury, spoiled by lack of
healthful opposition. Any condition
that deprives us of hope is a condition
OF living death; but a poverty that
makes us industrious, resolute, hard
ems our bodies and sharpens our wits
is far from unfortunate, for 1t con-
tains within itself the element of cure.
and prime among its attributes is that
h~eaven-sent faculty of living in a flu
ture that has no offset to it's perfect
ness-the faculty of hope.-Saturday

A similar passion for handling gold

men who suddenly become rich.
George Augustus Sala, in his . Life

journalist who speculated in railway
stocks. His first venture Melted him
$4,000. Drawing it in gold, he re-

gold in the bed. and went to sleep
literally in the sands of Pactolus. The

that he felt pleasure in ~reVelipg In a

Weeds, If they are pulled out of the

of seeds. will envince a degree of care
for the seeds which Is almost touching.
They will curl their leaves Upward as
far as each can go to cover the seeds
and protect them from the sun till
the end, and often one will find weeds
that are quite dead, sun killed, whose
leaves still are wrapped firmly around
the seed pods. No mother could show,
more striking devotion in death than
do these despised plants.

A street in Chicago, not far from the
"Archey road" immortalized by Doc
ley, has been known for twenty years
as Fake" street, in honor of a certain
business man bearing that name. The
word has come to have so injurious a
significance Of late years that the
residents and property owners in that
neighborhood have prayed the city
authorities to give the street a new
name.

The perfunctory manner in which
witnesses are sworn in English courts
was illustrated recently in a London

came to light only when a court off,

much more clean than usual, and, as
a consequence, looked closely at the

During one Of his desperate sea fights,
when his ship was dismasted, riddlel
with shot and sinking, Commodore Paul
Jones was called upon by the commander
Of the British ship with which he was
fighting to surrender. His reply was:
Il have just begun to fight"
That heroic answer is still ringing in
American ears ana inspiring American
hearts. Paul Jones won his fight. So

He might have been killed, his crew all
