An odd use that the pin was put to
long ago was that of checking the in
temperate habits Of the English. St.
Dunstan conceived the idea of dividing
the tankards out of which the liquor
was drunk into eight equal parts, each
part marked with a silver pin. The
cups were generous affairs. holding
two quarts. Consequently the quantity
from pin to pin was half pint, and
the regulation was that the drinker
stop at a pin"
Roisterers, however. prevented the
purpose of good st. Dunstan and estab-
lished the rule of good fellowship"
by which the drinker was to stop only
at a pin. If he drank beyond, he had
to go on to the next mark. AS it was
difficult to stop exactly at a pin the
vain efforts always excited much
mirth, and the trial usually ended with
the draining of the tankard.

Eyes," said the manager of the de-

at was our dog that broke up the
show"
THE dog, eh? What was the matter
with him?"
TOO fastidious. You never saw such
a hound in your life. You know the
play, of course. We tea piece of
meat in the folds of Eliza's frock, and
that's what draws the dogs after her
when she runs across the blocks of
ice. Well. what Go you thing this dog
demanded?"
Cant imagine"
"Porterhouse beefsteak, sir. and with
the tenderloin left in! Yes, sir. How S
that? And you couldn't fool him. He
wouldn't chase Eliza foot unless the
meat was choice cut. No, sir. And
by gum. sir, our company had to live
on liver and bacon so that blamed dog
could have his steak. Yes, sir"
THE demand was too much for you

until he began to insist upon mush
rooms with his steak. Then we just

How n Diamond Cuts Glass,

It has been ascertained by a series of
experiments that diamond does not
cut out the glass, file fashion, but
forces the particles apart, so that
continuous crack is formed along the
line of the intended cut. The crack
once begun, very small force is neces-
sary to carry it through the glass, and
thus the piece is easily broken off. The
superficial crack or cut need not be
deep. 4 depth, according to fine meas
urements, of two-hundredth part Of
one inch Is quite sufficient to accom-
plish the purpose, so that the applica-
ton of much force in using the dia-
mond only wears out the gem without
doing the work any better.
Numerous stones, such as quartz and
other minerals, when ground Into
proper form. will cut glass like dia-
mond, but are not so valuable for that
purpose, lacking the requisite hardness
and soon losing the sharp edge neces-
sary to make the operation success.

A servant girl happened to be en-
gagged at a farmhouse where the mis-
tress was known to have a hasty tenn
per.
On the first Saturday night the girl
was at the farmhouse she was told by
the mistress to clean the boots ready
for Sunday.
The mistress, on coming into the
kitchen later on, saw that the girl had
cleaned her own boots first, so she took
them up and threw them into tub of
water that was standing by and bounc-

The girl said nothing, but when she
had cleaned the other boots she threw
them also into the water.

Europe, silk commanded three times

it deemed that in the reign of Tiberius
a law was passed forbidding it to all
save noble ladies and prohibiting men
from wearing it on the ground of its
effeminacy. SO unusual was it even
200 years later for man to wear silk
that every historian of the time Of

tree will produce $50 to 400 pounds of
berries, from which seventy to eighty
pounds of wax can be obtained
The wax is formed in the middle of
the berry, between the skin and the
seed like the pulp of grape. 1t Is
extracted by boiling the berries in wa

wax separates from the skin and seed,

must lie Got by divers.
The sponge is an animal and not a
vegetable, as some state. 1t breathes,
eats and, when in the water is filled
with mucus. The sponge in its famil-
lar state is only a carcass. Sponges
are known to grow at a depth of 200
feet and live even deeper, doubtless.
At the depth of fifty feet they can be
forked by an expert fisher, but at a
greater depth they must be got by
diving.
Sponge fishers use glass by which
sponges can be seen growing on the
bottom. The instrument is in the ma
ture of pail with glass bottom, at
tached to the bow of the boat. 1t is
submerged, so as to steady the vision,
which otherwise would be contorted
by the waves. The water where
sponges grow is very clear, and bottom
can be seen at a great depth.

COLORADO'S FIRST GOLD.
How the Discovery of the Precious
Metal Was Made.

Metal Was Made.
On May 8, 1850, as stated in Fossett's
Colorado" QS70, John Gregory, a
prospector, climbed the hill into what
is still known as Gregory gulch (mid-
way between the present Central City
and Black Hawk, scraped away the
grass and leaves, filled his pan with
dirt and took 1t down to the stream.
Upon panning (washing) it down,
there was about 81 worth of gold in it.
This was followed by stampede to
the Gregory diggings, as they were
afterward called. Gregory employed
five men from the new arrivals and by
means of sluice took out $972 in one
week. Other rich strikes were made
almost daily, and large amounts OF
gold were taken out in short time.
The Bates, Bobtail, Mammoth, Gun
nell, Burroughs, Illinois and hundreds
of other lodes were found. and thou
sands of claims were taken up. AS the

Of the gold veins and gulches of what
is now Gilpin county became more and
more apparent. Over $4,000 men were
congregated in Gregory, Russell and
tributary gulches, and many of them
were accommodating wealth rapidly, but
everything valuable was soon pre-
empted, and large numbers were forced
to hunt their fortunes elsewhere.-En

service. Corlett was spared this pun
