Packing of Gold Leaf.

Here is something wish to inquire
about" said gentleman to a dealer in
artists materials as he held out tiny
booklet for the latter's inspection. 81
bought this book Of English gold leaf
Of you few days ago, and on turning
the Stats of paper between the leaves
l discovered that they contained por-
tiens of the Scripture, and seemed to
have been cut from various parts of the
Bible"
80 they were," answered the dealer,
but there is nothing extraordinary
about that fact when you understand
it. All English gold leaf, as a regular
matter Of business, is packed in little
books made up of pages of Bible cut to
the requisite size and stitched to-
gether.
mo desecration is intended, but the
practice of packing the material in this
way is a well-established custom. The
Bible is selected for the purpose be
cause as a general thing the type is
more evenly set and the printing finer
and better executed than in other
books.
Printed paper has always been in
general use for packing the sheets of
gold leaf. The slight indentations
made by the type serve to keep. them
more firmly in place. They slip when
packed between plain sheets. The Book
of Common Prayer is also employed for
the same purpose and the same reason.
"Gold leaf books are made up from
the sheets in which they leave the
press, and before they are folded

THE OLD GARDEN.

know Of haunted garden where the
old-time flowers grow;
There are hollyhocks and lilies in
long and stately row;
There are lilac trees by the gateway, and
roses white and red
And the Southern woods spicy fragrance
follows the careless tread
A memory haunted garden, out of ife's
busy way,
Where the. spell of vanished summers
fingers the livelong day.
The hands that planted these flowers
have moldered back to dust,
But their hearts are true and steadfast,
and they seem to hold in trust
The memories of the old-time, and those
whom men forget.
Perhaps for the lilac and lily the dead
are living yet,
Those whom our eyes can see not may
tend them still-who knows
OF the strange, sweet secrets hidden in
the red heart of the rose?
Does grandmother come to gather its
pinks and its pansies still
From the grave which kind hands made
her in the churchyard on the hill?
Does she know when the lilacs blossom
that she planted long ago?
The question must go unanswered, but l
fancy it may be so.
And SO from the dear old garden not a
flower l take away,
But leave them all to be gathered by the
hands that are dust to-day.

Why Michael Werner Knows that
Honesty l. the Best Policy.
There Is no man in the United States
who could better testify to the truth of
the adage, Honesty is the best pol

son few days ago, again prisoner
Werner is 81 years old and has been
a burglar for thirtyfour years, all but
two Of which has been spent in prison.
He was born in Chicago and received
good public school education. His
parents were respectable and well-to-
do. He learned the trade of black
smith and made good living. In 1867,
being out of work, he fell in with bad
company and was induced to come to
New York. Here he took part in a
burglary in October, 1867, and was SEN
fenced to five years in Sing Sing. Hav,
ing served that time, he went back to
Chicago, and in October, 1878, was
caught in the act of burglary. This
time he got fifteen years in Joliet pris-
on. After completing his term he re-
turned to New York. In 1888 he was
again arrested in Brooklyn for the
same offense. This time he got four
years and seven months in the Kings
County penitentiary.
Being released, he kept straight un-
til 1894, when he was caught at burg
larry, and under the name of George
Collins he was sent to Sing Sing again
for two years and six months. Again
in October. 1897, he bungled a job in
New York, and was arrested. This time
it was five years in Sing Sing and his
term expired on July last.
Then he went to Hoboken and was
arrested as suspicious person. Burg
lars tools were found on him, but he
managed to slip the law.
Then he started for Paterson. but got

People Who Wear the Kilt.

The wearing Of the kilt is a Gus
tom religsously observed in the smart
est society in Scotland. Many peers
and some wealthy commoners who are
chiefs Of clans take special pride in
the national costume. The Duke of
Sutherland and his sons. the Duke of
Argyll, and his brother. Lord Archi-
bald Campbell, Lord KinnouIl, and en-
titled chieftains. such as Cameron of
Lochiel or The Mackintosh-all these

of high degree dons kilt of palmer

yazoo Delta the Negroes Mecca

In speaking Of Mississippi as showing
larger increase Of negroes than
whites, it would be better to say that
this is true only of part of the State.
The Yazoo delta has become the great
er Mecca of the negroes, and there they
have fiocked not only from the hill
counties, but from the neighboring
States-Alabama, Georgia and the Car
olinas. They have been pouring In for
the last dozen or twenty years, ever
since the protection Of the delta from
overflow has been assured. There have
been several exoduses from the hills to
the bottoms Of such great proportions
as to alarm the farmers in the hill
country, lest they might be left with
out sufficient labor for their crops. If
this movement of population keeps on,
it will have a tendency in time to
whiten the rest Of Mississippi by con-
centrating the bulk Of the negroes in the
Yazoo delta.-New Orleans Times Dem

An instructor in a Wisconsin normal
school had come to "a serious point in a
lecture on psychology, and was discuss
ing with his class whether the idea
which first enters the mind when GER
tain words are written or spoken is gen
eral or specific. How he succeeded is
told by the Milwaukee Sentinel:
Does. the mind think of one certain
object designated by the word, or the
whole general class which Is embodied
in that word?' he asked.
To bring this mental problem more
clearly to the attention of the students,
the instructor said he would write a
word on the blackboard, after which
one Of them must tell instantly what
impression was made upon her mind
He called upon one of the young women
to be ready, then turned to the board
and wrote the word "pig."
All the class saw it except the girl
whom he had asked to answer the ques-
ton. She was standing in such posi-
ton that the word was hidden from her
by the professors shoulders.
"Well, what do you see?" he asked
sharply.
"Why, see you, SIR" she replied, in

ABOUT INDIGESTION.
What Causes 1t and How It May E
Avoided.

What Causes 1t and How It May BE
Avoided.
America has the reputation, less de-
served now, perhaps, than it was half
a century ago, of being the land of the
causes that were formerly at work to
prevent healthy digestion, We cannot
wonder that so many suffered from this
malady.
The men were too busy to devote the
necessary time to their meals, and bolt
ed their food without the thorough mas
tication that insures the proper begin
ming of the digestive process. The wom-
en- had more time to eat, if they would
have taken it, but they went out little,
taking almost no exercise, and the
quantity of food eaten was almost al
ways in excess of the needs of the body
"a most favorable conjunction for the
production of dyspepsia.
Finally, the food itself was Of such a
kind and prepared in such a way as to
tax the digestive organs to the utmost.
The frying pan reigned supreme, end
greasy, smoked and corned meats, with
hot salaratus biscuits or heavy pam
cakes, led the assault at breakfast time
upon the sorely overworked stomach,
hardly recovered after a nights rest
from it's herculean struggle with the
hot bread, pie and doughnuts of the pre-
ceding supper.
So much has been said and written
on this subject that these causes are
less active to-day, but they are still suf-
ficiently so to bring misery to large
numbers.
The familiar symptoms of dyspepsia
are a coated tongue, a disagreeable
breath and bad taste in the mouth.
The appetite may be poor, or it may be
ravenous, there may be nausea and
vomiting, a feeling of weight in the
stomach and often of oppression in the
chest. There will probably be much
fatulence and heartburn, and more or
less acute pain.-Youth's Companion.

HEIRESS, SHE DIED A PAuPER.
Woman in a Poorhouse Eight Years,
with a Fortune Awaiting Her.

Woman in a Poorhouse Eight Years,
with Fortune Awaiting Her.
To die a pauper in the poorhouse was
Mrs. Mary Minich's lot. Yet for eight
years, all the time she was an aim
house charge, she was heir to $4,000,
while firm Of New York bankers We're
securing the United States for her.
Only to-day did their representative
learn about her, and then she had been
in her grave at the poorhouse twelve
month.
The $4,000 was left by Rudolph
Bach, wealthy bookbinder of Brook
lyn. He died Nov. 27, 1893, without
having made a will. Ladenburg, Thai
man 4 Co., of 40 Wall street, were
made administrators, with orders to
turn the money over to Bach's next of
kin, his niece, Miss Mary Bach that
was.
All the bankers knew was that years
| ago Mary Bach had been a belle in
| Wilkes-Barre. She was the daughter
| of Rudolph Bach's only brother. Her
marriage was a fashionable one She
plighted her troth to DR.. William Min
| ich, Wilkes-Barre's foremost physician.
He died thirty years ago, and instead
of a fortune, as all thought he had, he
left his widow only legacy of debt.
| Reared in luxury, Mrs. Minich found
| herself without penny, and there was
nothing for the one-time belle to do but
earn her own living. She found en-
ployment with Jacob Matthias, who
kept roadhouse up in the mountains
-"Seven-Mile Jake's'' it was called.
For years Mrs. Minich lived on the
mountain-top. One day Matthias was
found murdered in his bed. The mys-
terry was never solved. The woman
who had kept house so long for him de-
clared she was his widow, and put in
claim for a third of his estate The
legal battle that followed was long and
wordy and she lost.
Sinking lower and lower in poverty's s
scale, the woman in 1S93-she was then
79-was sent to the poorhoQse just at
the time that Rudolph Bach died in
testate. The bankers sought strenu-
ously for Mrs. Minich, but she was
then known as Mrs. Matthias, and her
identity was swallowed up.
So it was that year after year the old
woman lived on at the poorhouse, just
outside of Wilkes-Barre, not knowing
that $4,000 was only waiting to be
claimed to be hers.
To-day Poor Director Tisch, says a
| WiIkeS-Rarra Snecia1 to the New York
World. led the bankers representative
to the lonely grave on the hillside.
"She has been lying there since last
autumn" said she. "She died at the
age Of Sc, never knowing of this good
fortune
He furnished legal proof of the death,
and now the $4,000, unclaimed for
eight years, will go to some cousins of
the name Of Bach, who live here.

ABOUT WOMEN'S CLUBS:
The Work They Are Doing and Wha1
They Mean to Do.

The Work They Are Doing and What
They Mean to Do.
If any one should doubt the desire of
the small remote town to make itself
Intellectually worthy, let him read the
program prepared for the winter work
Of club which occupied a prominent
social position on the prairies of the
Middle West. Here are some of the
topics for papers, all to be prepared
without the advantages of a library,
either public or private, and with no
educational advantages beyond a local
newspaper: WAS the Victory of We'll
Hngton at Waterloo Triumph of Medi-
evalism or of Democracy" rs the
French Republic or Ours the Best IL
lustration of the Political Ideas of
Rousseau?' 1.-The Race Problem of
Southeastern Europe" :" 1.-The Pessimism

mon Hatred Of the japanese and Chi
nese for the European Form a Bond
Strong Enough to Hold China for the
Yellow Man?" ''Will Christian Ethi-
cal Ideas Be More Easily Grated on
the Cold Selfishness of Confucianism
or on the Self Respecting Ideals of
Buddhism?'
Does not this illustrate the idea that
when an American woman determines
to do thing she does it, without stop
ping to inquire if it is among the possi-
bilities? How well she does it is an
other matter. My recollection suggests,
says Helen Churchill Candee in the
Century, that in this case she laughing
ly evaded most of the questions, and
made up by general cordiality and light
refreshments by no means a poor sub
stitute in a border town barren of So
cial life.
OF two hundred clubs in New York
State half are literary. This spark from
the log of statistics shows the popu-

appeals to the vanity which shapes our

erudite, to know a little more than
your neighbors know 1t is like more

And yet, Notwithstanding its popu-
larity, an unquiet longing possesses, to
some extent, the club which hangs out
! its banner for self-culture bearing the
name of literature, art, music, or cur
rent topics. And this longing illustrates
the trend of the day In women's clubs;
it is longing toward practicality. Al
