as if her own childish heart were

Mrs Thorne went herself to Miss
PRINTS the next day. The little mil
liner had not parted with the gold dol
lar, and when she heard the story of
it she exchanged it willingly, and said
she would exchange the hat, too. At
first Mrs. Thorne thought it best not
to do this, but after rejecting few
moments decided that it would be too
severe on Nellie to make her wear so
long the hat she now hated, and when
she left took the pretty Leghorn that
Nellie had first chosen. Nellie herself
returned a little later with the other,
and Miss Prim kissed her and gave
her some lemon drops, and told her
that she had proved herself a sweet
and worthy child And Nellie may
have cried the least bit, but she was
very happy.

THE PRACTICAL POET.

He wrote sonnet to her hair,
He said twas like the night,
All cleaning black, with here and
there
A glow of starry light,
Next day he read his lines again,
And stified down curse
The maiden with the ebon hair
Had sent him back his verse.
Again he tried in purest rhyme
He swore her lips and cheek;
For cheek, brow and lips seemed
ready to kiss,
He vowed her cheek was like rose,
A damask pink so rare.
The maiden sent the sonnet back
You should have heard him swear!
What did the guileless poet do?
He did not rave nor sigh,
But changed line and sold the frst
To advertise hair dye,
He took the one about her cheek
And made powder ad.,
Then marked the page they were
upon
And was the lady mad?

GOLD FROM THE sMokEsIAcK.

Precious Metal Recovered Upon
Cheese Cloth Catchers.
At Omaha, Neb., two years ago,
while workmen were making repairs
to the roof of building in the Omaha
plant of the American Smelter and
Refining Company they were amazed
to find the shingles and boards COW
cred with atoms of metal One Of the
boards was taken to the assayer, who
burned it, retorted the ashes and i'm
parted the startling information that
the metal was composed of gold, sill
yer, lead and copper.
Other boards were burned with like
results, and the mystery grew more
perplexing. Finally some one stand
ing on the roof of the building had
occasion to brush from his coat sleeve
fakes of SCOT which were dropping
from the great, rolling clouds of
smoke and gas emerging from the
giant stacks near by.
Sheet of common cheese cloth, cut
to fit the interior of the stacks, were
prepared. Through the centre of the
sheets were cut holes large enough to
allow the necessary free draught. The
sheets were fastened at various
heights in the stacks and allowed to
remain in position for several weeks.
When removed and subjected to treat
ment the chemist produced gold, sill
yer, copper and lead worth hundreds
of dollars.
More cheesecloth catchers were in
serted in the smokestacks, a few feet
apart, one above the other from the
base to the crown; a Semi-circular
steel house was built, extending from
the furnaces to the base of the stacks;
blower was placed in position to
cool and force the smoke and gas
through the steel house and up the
fiues. In it's passage the smoke depos-
tied in the steel house hundreds of
pounds of CRIME, which was allowed
to gather and pack for six months.
That of the CRIME which managed to
travel through the circular house and
reach the flues was caught by the
cheese cloth, very small portion,
practically, escaping to the outside.
When the steel house became filed
with packed soot-highly inf1ammable
the mass was touched off with
common match and allowed to burn
fer several days, after which it was
found that there still remained in the
enclosure many tons of a peculiar
dead-looking cinder hard and worth
less in appearance. This cinder was
run through the furnaces, receiving
treatment in the same manner as the
origial ores and readily yielded its
precious wealth.
During January the Omaha plant
gathered six months smoke house
and cheese cloth harvest" receiving
500 tons of cinder, which yielded more
than $4,000 Fifty thousand dollars
per year scattered over Omaha in
smoke! That's what it has amounted
to for twenty years.-New York
World.

With sigh of relief Nellie took her

she dreamed again Over and over
she thought Miss Primes niece had
come to see her and brought the gold
dollar. Her mother had seen it and

When she was dressed in her pretty

next morning she certainly looked

has been too much for you. Easter
isn't only for pretty things, my dear
Flakes cold was no better, and Mrs
Thorne did not go to church. BY and
by she prepared dinner, thinking Mel
lie would be home presently and be
hungry. Somewhat before she ex-
pected her the door suddenly flew
open and the little girl burst into the
room. The new hat she flung on the
table, and rushing to her mother she
burst into a torrent of tears and sobs.

MONEY SPENT ON ORDINATIONS.
Some Account of the Cost of These
DESTINATIONS Ceremonies.


1t may be of interest to point out
at this time that the most expensive
coronation on record was that of the
present Gar Of Russia. Upward Of
$15,000000 was spent by the govern
ment alone, and fully another $5,000,-
900 by the public authorities of var
ious Russian towns. The represent
atives of other powers wed with each
other in lavish outlay, and, counting
the sums spent by other persons, the
coronation of Nicholas II. cannot have
cost much less than $25,000,000
The coronation of Gear Nicholas /.
was also an expensive affair. The then
Duke of Devonshire was the British
representative and he spent fully
$150,000 of his own money in connec-
ton with it. The coronation of George
Nv. was the most expensive in Eng
lish annals, and this cost only $12-
100000. Of this amount SIPS, 600 was
expended on the coronation robe and
$225,000 on the crown
The cost of the coronation of George
II. did not amount to nalf that of the
coronation of George w. The whole
cost of the coronation of William w
amounted to only $150,000, and that of
Queen Victoria to $350,O00- --Chicago

like it, only lots finer and more trim
ming, for $3.50 that had been $4'
1.-The cheaper one will do very
well this year, I'm sure" said her
mother, gently. 1--WE have had a
good deal of expense, you know"
The little girl was very quiet that
evening and went to bed early. Far
in the night she woke with start.
She had been dreaming of the two
hats and Miss Prim In her dream
she had said to Miss Prim, II cannot
buy it, because / have only $780,"
and Miss Prim had said why, yes,
you have Nellie; you have gold
dollar put away in a drawer at home"
1t was this that had made her jump
and wake up, for she did have gold
dollar that her uncle, Henry Thorne,
had given her once when she was
baby, and it was put away in
drawer, just as Miss Prim had said.
She had not bought of this before,
and it was of no use to think of it
now for though she had never been
told not to spend the dollar, it was
only because her mother believed she
would never even dream of doing so.
But Nellie did dream of it, over and
over, and each time she woke with
start and lay awake long time. She
was pale and silent next morning, and
after a struggle with herself took the
her mother had given her in her little
purse, while in her pocket was Uncle
Henry ThOrne's gold dollar. She had
scarcely decided yet that she was go
ing to spend it, but she had felt for it
where she kept it in a little ring box
under her clothes the first thing when
she got up that morning, and the little
ring box had been pushed back under
her clothes empty when she came
down to breakfast.
Miss Prim was unusually pleasant
that morning. She brought both hats
out to the light for Nellie to see, and
said there was more than a dollars
difference in the two, and Nellie could
see that herself. But Miss Prim looked
a little surprised when she saw the
gold dollar
why" she said, ri haven't seen one
FOR long time. I'll keep it, 1 guess,
for a little niece of mine" Then she
wrapped up the hat for Nellie, talking
pleasantly
When Nellie started with her rur-
chase there was feeling of triumph
in possessing it that wore off as she
walked along. She did not feel as
happy in the way she had expected.
She remembered now for the first time
that her mother would no doubt Won
der at the cheapness of the hat and
speak of it in a way that would make
her silence equal to fa1sehood. She
had never told her mother an untruth.
Then she remembered how happily
she had tripped away to Miss PRINTS
yesterday. 1t did not seem to her that
she could be the same little girl.
But Mrs. Thorne said less than Mel
lie had expected. She was tired and
only kissed her pretty daughter
why, Nell" she smiled, 81 don't
see what you want of more trimming
than that. I think a good deal less
would have answered. It's rather old
for you now, but will be nice with a
little alteration for next year"

The little girl looked up brightly.

fought of going all alone to Miss
rims for her new Easter fnery was
!ther pleasant to her.
EOh. mamma, you don't need to go!

things as her mother talked, and

finished She tried to walk at

lid not choose. She had almost de-

side the others they looked cheap
