GENIUS IN CONVICT CARE.
Many Useful Inventions Are the Work of Criminals in Diff
 ferent Prisons.

It not infreque uently happens that men immured behind iron bars in our prisons give to the world inventions whose value it would be difficult to es- innate, says the Chicago Chronicle. One of the most important of recent minor inventions is credited to the in- genuity of a convict in the New Jersey state prison-Charles Filler. It is a blind lockstitch sewing machine which will enable one operator to do the work of many. The device was invented by Filler while he was at work in the cloth ing shop of the prison. Outside capital was interested in the machine and Filler received as his reward a cash payment of $5,000, a block of stock, his parole and the promise of position with the company at a good salary.
 Other convicts have figured in patent office reports as inventors. One whose name is recalled was Melchior Parker, who, while confined i'll a Hungarian penitentiary in 1892, devised a mechan- ism for giving a man a clean shave in 25 seconds. The cable report assured us that the governor of the peniten- tiarv had tested the machine and de- clared it a success, but what came of it is unknown.
 A convict of a mechanical turn of mind is apt to find his confinement and his isolation from deterring influences most helpful in enabling him to acquire greater facility. The exhibition by the prison association of articles made by convicts contained specimens of high class work done behind the prison bars. Among them were an elaborate iron door grill, richly carved oak staircase, chairs, desks, banjoes, cabinets, iron bedsteads, plaster casts, etc. A piece of cloth woven at Auburn came in for the highest praise. Richard Barker, a life convict at Auburn, made box out of ii, ,706 separate pieces of wood which was a marvel of skillful cabinet work It required glass to see where the diff ferent fragments of wood were joined together. In the year 1885 the goods manufactured by the conyiets of the state of New York were valued at $6, 36,320.

 Native feelings in India have been hurt by the new rupee, because the king appears on it without his crown. To be bareheaded is repugnant to the oriental.
 Glasgow corporation is about topro- vide work for the unemployed in that city, and the difference of cost be- tween the wages paid and the value received is to be borne by the "cOm- mon good" fund.
 The old Calvert home, at Mount Airy, Md, which for more than two centuries has sheltered the descend ants of the first Lord Baltimore, was offerd at public auction recently, but was withdrawn from sale because only half of it's actual value was bid. T. is rumored that Secretary of State Hay will be among the bidders when the property shall be offered again. The mansion was built in 1860, and was primarily used for the Calverts as a shooting box, but was later en- larged renovated and made the per manent home of the family.

HOW GOLD NUGGETS GROW.
Observation Shows They Increase In Weight with the Lapse
 of Years.

Gold in it's natural state, like many other products of the earth, is an ar
 ticle of development. What its original elements are is still a matter of some speculation, but the fact has been demonstrated that a nugget of the precious metal left in it's original en-
 vironments will gradually though slow ly attract to itself minute particles of gold dust and after the lapse of years possess an added value, says mining journal. Gold is known to have grown
 on mine timbers which have long been
 immersed in mine water. In the Cali fornia State Mining Bureau museum there is a specimen of piece of jointed
 cap and post taken from the Comstock, where it had been under water for years, in which gold has formed in the
 joints and pores of the wood.
 Gold is constantly being formed in rocks and veins and placers. Just what it is that the baby gold formation feeds on to effect it's growth is not
 known; if it were a new and wonder fully lucrative industry might be born
 and all other kinds of farming save the growing of gold might temporarily be
 abandoned. The formation and growth are due to mechanical and chemical ac- ton. As in the case of the animal or
 vegetable, existing gold has existed in some other state before assuming it's
 present form. Waters which percolate through the earth's crust are said to
 contain substance from which gold is formed. Thus gold, like the animal 1 and vegetable, must have water in or der to thrive. The gold in the water is | deposited when it meets the proper precipitant. The precipitant may be an earth current of electricity. some vegetable growth or chemical in the | rocks.
 It has been claimed that the nuggets
 found in placers are the formations
 from the waters that percolate through the gravels and are not from decom- posed quartz, as generally supposed Those who so contend cite the fact that
 in the center of nuggets can be often found a small grain of iron sand This was the nucleus around which the | earth current of electricity created or
 deposited in electroplating During long ages this influence was at work causing the gold O form around the lit
 tle grain of iron ore and then grow to
 become a bright, shining nugget of gold much larger and purer than any ever found in the veins of ore.

AN OLD ACQUAINTANCE.
Unpleasant Encounter of a Humorous Book Agent With Determined
 German Housewife.

At the fourth house l was met by a bristlng cur that seemed to know me, not as master, but as fUe. He reached earnestly for my trousers through h crack in the fence. l fan cied I saw rags in his teeth when he first snarled at me. He stubbornly disputed my entrance, and yielded only when the harsh voice of his mis- tress called him off, writes the au- thor of "Confessions of Book Agent" in Leslie's Monthly.
 At the door I was met by the mis- tress of the house, a brawny, double listed dame with a face like a pot of lTaut, who, planting herself square ly in the doorway, sternly demanded my errand. This tactic was a stun ner. My instructions had been to enter the parlor and gallantly take my seat beside the lady and show up my book with grace and dignity.
 did nothing. I stood there in con- fusion, like scared lunatic, until the woman herself recalled me to my senses by demanding:

RANK OF THE WHITE HOUSE.
Tn Point of Architecture, the Presi- dentIaI Mansion Is fin n Glass
 by Itself.

One moonlight night in June, 1902, while strolling through the grounds with MT. Charles F McKim. one of the members of the park commission, we seated ourselves on one of those mounds which tradition ascribes to John Quincy Adams taste in land scape-architecture, writes Charles Moore, in "The Restoration of the White House" in Century. That after noon crowds of people arrayed in joy ous costumes befitting the semi-tropics had come from the hot city to rest un- der the trees and listen to the Saturday concert of the Marine band. The mu- sicians, clad in white duck, were lo- cated in q little depression, so that the sound of the music rolled up the slopes to the attentive audience.
 A year before we had observed the same effect at Versailles; and both the simlarities and the differences of the two pictures were being discussed as we sat in the quiet night, behind the locked gates, where not a sound from the city streets broke the grateful noise of water splashing in the foun- tains. On the high portico the presi- dent sat amid group of dinner-guests, and the lights of their cigars were "echoed' by the drowsy firefies fitting about the grounds, only the brilliantly lighted windows of the secretary's of flee even suggesting the workaday world. The moonlight, shining full oD the white house, revealed the har- monious lines of it's graceful shape.
 "Tell me-" I asked the architect, "among the great houses that have been built during recent years in the general style of the white house. many of them larger and much more costly-is there any that, in point of architecture, surpasses it?"
 "No; there is not one in the same classwith it" he replied, deliberately a judgment confirmed later under the monday sun.

SALT FOR THE. AGED.
Ths Common Article Used by Berlin Physician to Prevent ArteriaI
 Degeneration.

An exceedingly interesting investfgas-- +ion of the causes and ills of advancing age has recently been conducted by Dr. Trunecek. noted Berlin scientist. He declares that the most characteristic of these ills is due to deficiency of salt in the blood which causes hardening of the arteries, arteriosclerosis, as physicians term it. Dr. Trunecek has been treating aged patients suffering from arteriosclerosis by injection of a saline solution ana with very astonish- inc results, states the Chicago Ameri- can.
 Arteriosclerosis is an affection al- most exclusively confined to the second half of life, for it depends on all kinds of chronic poisoning and on the use and maltreatment of the arterial walls. Nevertheless, it is not excessively rare to meet with it in subjects who are yet young. either because of special pre- disposition, of peculiar vulnerability | of the blood,vessels or of serious chem ical or microbian poisoning
 This malady is characterized by local or general thiekening, which, starting in the internal layer of the artery. extends later to the middle and outer layers. It forms in the great | arterial trunks more or less numerous layers. isolated or continent, often re- sembling cartilage, and infiltrated with calcareous salts, among which phos- phate of lime holds a foremost place. In the small arteries and the capil- laries the hardening process goes so far as to transform their walls into a fibrous and compact tissue that gives to the touch the sensation of rigid tube or cord.
 The disagreeable and even danger ous consequences of such change in ones arteries are apparent. It may re- suit in their further degeneration and alteration of the arterial walls, ending in death. and if matters do not go so far. it may lead at least to loss of elas- ticitv in the greater arteries with diminution of the caliber, and to the actual obliteration of theire( finer branches. The blood does not flow so readily through them and anemia re- suits. with all it's connected evils. The resistance encountered by the blood in- ereases the work of the heart, whose enlargement often follows, as well as other heart troubles dependent on dis orders of the nervous system.
 When man or a woman has attained certain age and may be said to be in his or her declining years, arteries clerosis is malady almost impossible to avoid. A deposit of calcareous salts, and particularly of phosphate of lime "a compound insoluble in distilled water, but soluble in a solution of com mon salt-constitutes the principal factor of the malady.

The West n Condition.

The west, somehow, has come to be a condition rather than place. After days in luxurious train, the casual traveller finds himself in the cities of the Pacific with the feeling that here are not the differences, the strange ness, the westerness that he had ex- pected The real west which he has pictured so fondly, the free, the hearty, the fascinating, seems in some degree to have escaped him. And pres ently he discovers that the condition which is called western is singularly misplaced in the west; that the most western of American cities is not Port land or Seattle, but Butte City. 600 miles to the east of the coast-Ray Stannard Bakers, 'The Great North west" in Century.

Killing Turtles with Arrov,.

Killing a turtle with an arrow seems a very difficult feat, since very hard shell covers practically all of the ami nal, yet the natives of the Andaman islands kill huge turtles with arrows ns easily as American sportsmen kill rabbits with shot. Accustomed from their childhood to use bows and ar rows, they soon become wonderfully skilled in the use of these primitive weapons, and as they know the places where the turtles congregate, it is easy for them at any time to bring home good bag of game. Sometimes they try their skill on large fish, andr though the latter are harder to kill than turtles, there are a few island- CTS who rarely miss their mark Fishing Gazette.

SHE'S GONE AWAY.

Like to take her in my arms;
 Like to soothe her as I did, Shielding her from wee alarms,
 On my loving bosom hid; Wish that I could hear her voice Ringing out in baby play, Calling on me to rejoice,
 But I can't she's gone away. Sorry that sometimes I said:
 Do go way! You bother me" Now there's quietness instead,
 And l long to bothered be. Why, I'd give the best I know
 Just to hear her romp and play, And I'd let my writing go.
 But l can't-shes gone away. There were roses great and small, In her hand that day-that day; St1e. the sweetest bud of all-- And she bothered me! l say; Used to bother h}si when I.
 I-waHid give the daylghts grace Just to hear her ron1ping nigh, Making riotous the place. House is very quiet now,
 Very orderly and neat, Toys not lying anyhow,
 Pitfalls for my careless feet; No one comes to worry me
 In my work. though oft forbid, Clam'rous for a throning knee, But I wish--T wish she did. Alfred James Warehouse.

Cured Him Of Smoking.

Broadway, near Thirsy-hrst street,

while in a communicative mood. he
was telling a friend how he gave up
smoking. It seems that he had formed
the habit of smoking fifteen cigars q
day and spent most of his time at the
cashiers desk and the cigar case.
One day Gov. Morgan, who was \
regular patron. stepped UP to the desk
20 pay his bill, saying at the same
time:
Mr.. Parker, want 70 give you =

yours, and as such, you have no right
to stand behind that desk and blow
