There are three standpoints from
which the relation of a geological
survey to the mining industry of the
country may be viewed The purely
scientific or geological point, the
technical point and the commercial
point. As from the nature of things
the third point often demands only
the consideration of very small
portion of a particular district, it is
not to be the business of the Govern
ment to consider such a view point

Cuff Links with n History.

One of the few relics Of Washington
in the possession of an individual is a
pair of old gold sleeve links belonging
to General james Grant Wilson. Their
history, as recOunted in the New York
Times. General Wilson told not long
ago before the New York Historical So
ciety. The story is both new and true.
After the battle Of Saratoga Wash
ingtOn desired TO express his apprecia-
ton Of Arnod's bravery-for Arnold,
not Gates. was the real hero OF that
battle-and he sent to Arnold letter
expressing his feeling and with 1t his
gold cuff links. saying: 81 learn that
you lost yours in the battle Pray ac-
sept mine as little token of my APP
probation"
Arnold wore the sleeve links until
his treason. when, evidently not rel
fishing the memories they called forth,
he presented them TO Colonel Tarleton,
one Of the few British officers who
showed him any sincere Kindness.
Colonel Tarlcton had on his staff an
American loyallst. who was IN excel
lent officer and Il most amiable gentle
man and WAS made by TarlctOn his
military secretary. This was Israel
Halleck. father Of Fitz-Greene Hal
lcck. the well known poet Of earlier
New York days.
Israel Hul!eck lett the historical
Washington Inks to his son. who Just
before his death In 1861 gave them to
n young man TO whom he had intrusted
his manuscripts and other material for
his biography. and here they are.

PARAGONS OF DUTY.
DrOH Legends OF Fiiial Piety a.
Prnctfccd In japan.


The japanese make much Of the duty
Of children to parents. In some or
their popular stories they exaggerate
the wholesome virtue until 1t becomes
absurd. There is group Of such tales
called "The -Four and Twenty Para
CONS Of Fllal Piety," some Of which
Mr.. Basil Hall Chamberlain collects In
Things japanese"
One Is the story Of the paragon whose
cruel stepmother was very fond Of fish.
In spite Of her harsh treatment he lay
naked on frozen lake until his body
melted hole in the ice. He caught
two fish that came up to breathe and
set them before his stepmOther. An
other paragon lay uncovered at night
in order that the mosquitoes should
fasten on him alone and allow his
parents to slumber undisturbed.
Still another, who was extremely
poor. determined to sacrifice his own
child in order TO save food to support
his aged mother. He was rewarded
by heaven with the discovery Of a YES
sci filled with gold, OH which the whole
family lived happily ever after. A
fourth gave her father a chance to es-
cape while she chung to the jaws Of the
tiger which was about to devour him.
The drollest story of all is of Rovai-
shi. This paragon, although seventy
years old, used to dress in baby's
clothes and sprawl about the floor. His
object was piously to delude his par
ents, who were more than ninety years
Of age into the idea that they could
not be 50 very old after ali. seeing that
they had an infant son.

An EnrIY PreaR Agent.

Though absurd wagers, often 1ncon-
veniencing other people, are now
sometimes made, they are not so prev
alent as In the eighteenth and early
part Of the nineteenth centuries. The
absurdity of a wager made by some
persons in 1749 Is only equaled by the
credulity Of the multitude. On Jan.
10 Of that year, according to wide
spread announcements, person would
play on a walking cane at the Hay
market theater the music Of every In
strument, get into quart bottle and
while there sing several songs, at the
same time permitting any spectator
to handle the bottle. The theater could
hold but a small proportion of the I'M
mense crowd, but the performer did
not appear. Some person behind the
curtain announced that If the audience
would remain there until the next
morning instead Of going into a quart
bottle he would get into pint one.
But, though the multitude had faith
in the quart, the pint bottle was too
much. 4 riot ensued. and the interior
Of the theater was decentralization

sHROvE TUESDAY JOKES.
Peculiar Idens of Humor Possessed
by Two French Kings.


In all countries where Lent Is kept
except in Russia, where Ash Wednes-
day is not observed-Shrove Tuesday,
the last day before the beginning Of tho
penitential season, has been given over
to mummings, sports and practical
jokes. In both England and Scotland,
In which latter place the day Is known
as Fastens cen, 1t was in times past
great holiday for the apprentices and
working classes generally.
A grewsome Joke was played by
Louis NJ. one Shrove Tuesday when at
night he ordered his guards to rouse
the sleeping villagers near and bring
them to the castle. From almost ev-
cry tree In the surrounding wood, 1t Is
said, a dead body dangled, and to the
music Of his fiddlers Louis compelled
the villagers TO take a gibbeted corpse
for partner and dance before 1t till
morning. Those who had husbands,
sweethearts or relatives among the
dead were forced to have them for
partners.
Later Charles TX. enjoyed practical
Joke at Shr0yetlde that was less grim
in its character, secretly giving ten OF
the most slilllful pickpockets In Paris
full leave to steal whatever they could
without being found out at the carni-
val ball. Louis himself enjoyed their
dexterity and thc dismay Of those
who missed their jewels, swords, CIR
dies and other valuables.

1T CURED HER.
The Prescription That Was Given
by Famous Physician.


Some years ago lady, who tells the
story herself, went to consult a famous
physician about her health She was
a woman of nervous temperament.
whose troubles-and she had had many
had worried and excited her to such
q pitch that the strain threatened her
physical strength and even her reason.
She gave the doctor list Of her symp-
toms and answered his questions only
to be astonished at his brief prescrip-
ton at the end: Madam, what you
need is to read your Bible more"
but, DOCTOR" began the bewildered
patient.
Go home and read your Bible an
hour day." the great man reiterated,
with kindly authority. 'Then come
back to me a month from today" And
he bowed her out without q possibility
of further protest.
At first his patient was inclined to
be angry. Then she reflected that at
least the prescription was not an ex-
pensive one. Besides, 1t certainly had
been a long time since she had read
the Bible regularly, she reflected, with
pang of conscience. Worldly cares
had crowded out prayer and Bible
study for years and. though she would
have resented being called an irren-
eious woman, she had undoubtedly be-
come a most careless Christian. She
went home and set herself conscien-
tiously to try the physicians remedy.
In one month she went back to his
office. WELL" he said. smiling as he
looked at her face, Il see you are an
obedlent patient and have taken my
prescription faithfully. Do you feel as
If you needed any other medicine

mo. doctor, | don't" she said hon
estly. 81 feel like a different person
I hope | am different person. But
how did you know that was just what
l needed"
For answer the famous physician
turned to his desk. There, worn and
marked, lay an open Bible.
Madam" he said, with deep earnest
ness. IF | were to omit my daily read
ing of this book | should lose my great
est source Of strength and skill. never
go to an operation without reading my
Bible. Y never attend distressing
case without finding help In It's pages.
Your case called not for medicine, but
for sources Of peace and strength out
side your own mind, and | showed you
my own prescription, and l knew 1t
would cure"
"Yet l confess, DOCTOR" said his pa
tent, that l came very near not tax
ing It,"
Every few are willing to try 1t, l
find" said the physician. smiling again.
"But there are many. many cases IN
my practice where 1t would work won
ders If they only would take It,"
This Is true story. The doctor died
only q little while ago. but his prescrip-
ton remains. 1t will do no one any
harm to try it.-Phlladelphla Ledger.

GREATEST OF ORGANS.
Description OF Instrument In Nor
mon Tabernacle.

1t was In 1873 that President Young
first spoke OF building a big organ, one
that would be in harmony with the
mammoth tabernacle. Great difficulties
were encountered in the building of the
instrument, particularly in securing
suitable wood for the gigantic pipes
with which it was equipped. Some OF
these pipes took as much as 800 feet Of
lumber. The mountains far and near
were fairly secured for the proper kind
of pine, hundreds Of loads of which
were hauled by teams from point
nearly 800 miles south Of Salt Lake.
1t required two months to make a
round trip 1t will thus be seen that
work was very slow. The workmen
were all pioneer settlers. The method
Of uniting the wood was unique, the
closest joining being done by means Of
homemade glue. the making of which
consumed hundreds OF cattle hides,
while numberless calfskins were used
in making the bellows. Altogether ten
years were consumed in the building.
Since the time that it was first given to
the public there have been numerous
additions and changes, until today it Is
recognized as one Of the very best or
gans in the world, if, indeed. not the
best and the grandest.
1t is now nearly n year ago since the
first presidency Of the church decided
TO make the latest improvements in the
organ. 4 great many of the old pipes
were taken out and thoroughly over
hauled. and more than 1000 new ones
were added. The Instruments action
is marvellous and more responsive than
a grand piano, as it has no Inertia" to
overcome. The repeating power Of
each key is 726 times to the minute.
All of the latest mechanical devices
have been incorporated in the instru-
ment, and any combination of tone de-
sired can be distinctly brought out.
Especially fine are the string" tones,
the violin. viola gambia, cello and bass;
the clarinet, two oboes, bassoon, eight
varieties Of flute tones leach one true
to its name), four piccOlo stops, four
trumpets, tube trombone, saXaphOne,
clari,N and the voX humana, which
is the pet of the organ and makes "hu-
man" tones that deceive even the train
ed musician.
In all, the organ contains 10S stops
and accessorles-fve complete organs
viz, solo. swell, great, choir and pedal.
The speaking length OF the pipes va
rics from quarter Of an inch to thir-
ty-two feet. In full organ passages
the immense bellows displace 5000 Gu
bic feet Of air per minute.-Deseret

bridegroom promise to love and obey

THE DIAMOND SPLIT.
"A Peculiar and Very Rare Accident
to "a Fine Gem.

Secretary Harry Pulliam Of the Pitts
burg baseball club, who has been in
this city on a visit for some time,
smashed and utterly destroyed a five
hundred dollar diamond at the Louis
vile hotel recently, says the Louisville
Courier Journal.
1t was such an accident as will not
happen to n diamond once in 10000
times, SO Mr.. Pulliam feels that 1t is
Outrageous fortune" with a venge-
ance.
Anywhere but In Louisville" he
said, lit wouldn't have happened-old
hard luck Louisville" And he thought
Of the erstwhile Colonies long years Of
struggling in the National league
against the baseball demon Of i'll luck.
The stone was set in ring which had
been given him by the members Of the
Pittsburg team last fall. 1t was of
the fiery white variety, and for its size,
a little more than two carats, was I'M
usually valuable and handsome. The
gold claws which held the stone in
place were heavy and one would have
supposed would have given the stone
ample protection against any injury 1t
might receive In fall
Mr.. Pulliam was bathing at the time.
He had had his hands in warm water,
and the ring was still on his finger.
He started TO take 1t off and had with
drawn 1t from his finger when ii Slip
ped from his grasp TO the marble floor
of the bathroom. 1t happened to strike
at the one point necessary to cause its
destruction. However, the fall would
not have affected 1t in the least were
1t not for the fact that the gem was
warm and the marble floor was cold.
The conditions were just right for such
an accident, and the stone. falling on
the fatal point, was shattered and ruin
ed. 1t was split in two as evenly as IL
a lapidary had done the work. The
upper part was still held in place by
the gold claws, while the lower half
lay against the base Of the settings.
G.. 7. Kendrick, who saw the ring
after the accident, said that he had in
his whole experience as a jeweler heard
Of three such cases and that such acci-
dents to diamonds were generally rare.
About twenty-five years ago Louis

identically the same manner. She was
washing her hands in warm water and

could have hit that diamond with a
hammer q hundred times and wouldn't

civilization In Africn.

When Livingstone died few years
ago. says The Northwestern Christian
Advocate. there was net a civilized
town I'm central Africa. Now Living
stonia Is to be lighted by electricity.
The cost Of the machinery and its
transportation to the mission was about
$4,000. The only source Of illumina-
ton for the home or the school or the
church has been hitherto kerosene, OBJ
tanned at a cost. by the time 1t reaches
Lake Nyassa. Of $3.50 gallon. Steam
power being out Of the question on ac-
count Of the scarcity Of fuel, 1t was
suggested that the falls of the river
Manchewe, near to the mission, be
used for the production Of light and
the driving Of machinery. The machin-
cry is on It's way and was to be set
up this month. The natural waterfall
will thus thra sh wheat, grind the -four
and bolt 1t in the mill by day and at
night give light to the people IN their
homes The clvilizing influence over
the natives of this electrical power is
beyond calculation.
