A Clergyman's Callers.

There are persons with requests for
money for queer uses. For example:
A woman once wanted to borrow IS.
which sum she assured me was suf-
ficient to stock and e0liip q cand
store, the income from which would
support herself and three children.
There was a man who had long been
out of work who wanted to borrow

horns to sell on the street at profit a
the night following election day. But
here. again, perhaps the strangest
case was that of man who came to
tell me that, as a book agent, he had
been cahyassing for orders for the
Bible. Not having met with success,
he explained that the reason was that
"the Bible was played OUT" he, there
fore, wanted to borrow a quarter to in

SOME FACTS ABOUT GOLD.
Interesting Information Cleaned
from IA Recently Issued Work
ON Mining,

Interesting statistics about gold
mining are given in the Commercial
Geography, by Cyrus c. Adams, pub
lshed by the Appleton's, as follows:
Gold is one of the few metals that is
often found pure. Most of it, how
ever, is alloyed with other metals,
chiefly silver. 1t occurs in veins, in
quartz and other rocks, and is OBJ
tanned by crushing and smelling the
rock quartz mining). A great deal
of gold freed from the rock by
water, heat, cold and other disinte-
grating influences is mixed with
gravel and sand in the beds of
streams or on the seashore, and is
obtained by washing (placer min
ing). The worlds production, rap
idly increasing in recent years, is
nearly $30O,OOO,Ooo year. The Unit
ed States was long foremost in gold
production, but in 1898 the South At
rican republic attained the first
place. Nearly all the gold mined in
this country comes from the western
states and territories, including
Alaska.
The beauty and value of gold make
it highly priced for ornamentation.
About one-fifth of the product, there
fore, is annually consumed in arts,
France occupying the first place in
this use Of the metal, followed by
the United States. AS the metal is
too soft to be used pure, it is al
loyed with copper or silver. The
quantity of alloy added to gold in
jewelry is from IL to over so per
cent. Pure gold is called "a carats
fine. When there are equal parts of
gold and alloy the mixture is 12
carats fine.
Most of the gold output is coined.
1t is the standard money of many
nations. Its great advantage as
money is that usually it cannot be
obtained without great labor, and
that it fuctuates little in value. The
average output per miner does not
often exceed six to twelve dollars a
week, and counting wages and cost
of machinery, one dollar is believed
to be expended for each one dollars
worth of gold produced. Many mines
are very profitable, but we hear lit
tie of the large sums expended in I'M
profitable mining.

less he wanted to. even if you did
muster up courage to discharge him."
And so instances of Nelson's calm
setting aside of all authority save
= his own sweet will continued to null
tiply.
Suddenly, however, a change was
noticeable. Without warning Nelson
became meekly, even weakly affable
and yielding, even to the point of
consulting the head of the family
in cases where consultation was I'M
necessary. The daughter of the fam
lily opined that he had experienced
religion; the son declared that he
had received ghostly warning as to
his Immediate demise, but the mys-
terry remained impenetrable until one
evening when Nelson asked permits
sion to go home earlier than usual,
saying that his wife wanted him.
why, Nelson, L didn't know you
had wife,
"Oh, yessum, l gotter wife, but

The effect of Maria upon her liege
WAS most pronounced as time went
on. Nelson no longer firmly waved
away orders and conducted his de-
partment on the most despotic plan;
the cook began to impose upon him
and the mistress of the mansion even
ventured to scold him. His polite
ness deepened and willingness to re-
main after hours, if only he had the
authority of the head of the family
for doing so, became one of his most
pronounced characteristics. In fact,
Nelson was now a jewel without
flaw.
But all this was quite too good to
last, and one day the mistress of
the mansion was sadly surprised to
find Nelson once more setting aside
her orders with calm faith in his
own superior Judgment. ''Why, Nell
son, what Is the matter?" she said
