Fortune in This Brick.

The largest and most perfect gold br,ck
TO be received at the United States ASSAY
office has been deposited at Deadwood 6
d.. by the Spearffsh Gold Mining and Re-
duction Company from the cyanide mill I'm
the limestone belt. 1t weighs l75 ounces
and Is over 900 fine, being worth approxi-
mately s22,0O 1t is seldom that gold OF
such fineness is brought to the Deadwood
aimee from plants in the hills, and while the
ofhce has received bars weighing about an
much, they have not possessed the same
value or anywhere near II. The gold is
usually associated with silver and cop
per. The last bar from the Spearfish
weighs over ninety pounds troy weight is
well formed and the gold is of a particu-
larly bright yellow color
rms brick was the result OF a fourteen
days run at the 2O0-ton cyanide plant of
the Spearfish Company on ore that assays
from 50 to 81 a ton. At this rate the com
pany is able to clean up over 5000 a
month. The increase in the amount of the
cleanup is attributable to greater richness
of the ore than formerly, and to the face
that the company is able with experience
to get a greater efficiency in the milling ia
cilitieS.
gold brick that in fineness is equal to
that deposited by the Spearfish Company

Decay of Confucianism.

From the North China Herald.
Careful observers in China are noticing
the gradual decay of Confucianism. Its
sway over the minds of the Chinese literati
is by no means what it was even recent
ly as twenty or thirty years ago. 1t is true
that there is apparently no marked dminu-
ton in the number of ancestral halls, the
existence of which all over the land serves
an indication of the vitality of the state
religion; yet, nevertheless, the more the
country is permeated with western knowl-
edge. the more are the minds of the edu-
Gated class becoming alienated from the
teachings to which before unQuestioning
obedience was accorded
The reason for this state of things II il
not difficult to comprehend. 1t is gradually
dawning upon the educated young men of
China that a knowledge of the Confucian
classics is no longer what it was from a
commercial point of view. And the COM
prehension of this fact is sufficient to ac-
count for the diminishing interest that is
being taken In the acquisition of Confucian
learning. 1t must also be admitted that
the broader and deeper knowledge in
troduced and inculcated by western scholars
is becoming assimilated, there is an ever
increasing realization of how inadequate 4
Confucianism is, Notwithstanding its merits

CONSUMPTION IN FRANCE.
Work at the Free Dispensary at Lille
for Poor Patients.

Paris Corr. London Pail Mall Gazette.
Much has been said and written of re-
cent years in regard to the ''fresh-air
cure in the treatment of tuberculosis, and
many well-equippcd sanatora, where pa
tients may be received and housed under
hygienic conditions. have been established.
but these buildings and their maintenance
have proved expensive, and the enjoyment
of them has been above the reach of the
multitude for whom room cannot be found
in ordinary hospitals Public bodies in
European countries have awakened to the
necessity of impressng on the people the
urgency of observing precautions as to the
housing and nourishment of consumptives
and the repression of indscriminate ex-
pectoration. But ii has remained for the
French to see not only that the working
classes, among whom the disease is so
rife, are acquainted with these rules, but
also that they strictly observe them and
that everything is done in the case of in
divtduals to minimize the risk of infection
to those who live in daily contact with
them.
A little over year ago the municipality
of Lille gave plot of ground. and a COM
mittee of medical men and philanthropists
erected modest red-brick building for the
reception of those patients well enough to
attend daily. Here they are instructed in
the regime to be followed. inhalations are
analyzed and sterilzed. and distributed
along with eggs and meat of the best
quality in cases where the sufferers are too
poor to obtain the nourishment indispensa-

laboratory for the meteorological examna

is disinfected. washed and subjected to
heated air under pressure to insure free

who goes to each dwelling, and insures

where such isolation is impossible, in some
cases he finds special lodging at the ex

cases have been treated during the past

suits, at the extremely low cost Qncluding

Natural History Study.
From Nature.


Lord Avebury, the president of the Sell
borne Society took the chair at the recent
annual meeting and Conversations. He al
luded to several of the many lines of work
upon which the association is engaged, to
wit, the interest which is taking in the
home counties nature study exhibition, the
bird sanctuaries arranged for and the pro-
lection of plants. Lord Avebury claimed
that near London plants now needed more
looking after than birds, and quoted in
stances from his own experience; he also
pointed out how easy 1t was for country
clergymen to follow in the steps of the
great Gilbert White. Sir John Cockburn
also alluded to plants and the advantage
of the study of flowers to children, saying
that in this respect We might well be
children AS chairman of the nature study
exhibition held last year. he wished all
success to the new undertaking mentioned
by Lord Avebury. Sir George Kekewich
said that of all the objects of the Selborne
Society he would put nature study first.

Proper Handkerchiefs.
From the Hospital.

In spite of prejudice. the japanese paper
serviette is making Roadway, and perhaps
it would become even more popular If 1t
were not for its brilliant decoration, which
rather jars upon the taste of people who
associate the refinements of the table with
spotless white linen. But the paper hand
kerchief has even greater claims upon our
appreciation. A handkerchief which is
merely an ornamental adjunct to ladys
toilet is all very well, but there is no in
nate daintiness about the mouchoir and its
uses. The washing of one which has seen
the service for which it was intended is by
no means task for the fastidiouS, and
with our increasing knowledge of the spread
of disease it is a question If it is not
reasonable sanitary precaution that all
such should be destroyed. If that idea once
got into the public mind the future of the
paper handkerchief should be assured. 1t
is portable, 1t is not unpleasant to use, it Is
sanitary and 1t is cheap. At the price of
farthing apiece, four of them do not cost
more than the price of laundering a cam
brio handkerchief. and there is the original
cost of the linen in addition. Besides, as
every one knows, our handkerchefs have
mysterious way of vanishing at the wash.

ANOTHER CHAPTER IN B. &B.RR.

Another chapter has been un-
folded in the history of the
Brunswick and Birmingham rail-
road, an enterprise i'll which
Dawson and number of other
towns in this section we're great
1y interested a few months ago.
A suit has been filed in the SUI
perior court of G1ynn county by
Col. E. c.. Machen against Frank
A. Umstead of Worcester, Mass,
for $12,5OO. The suit is in the
way of an attachment on the
stock owned by Umstead in the
Brunswickand Birmingham road.
and the company has been served
with the necessary papers.
Umstead and his associates
purchased a large slice of the
Brunswick and Birmingham, and
he was elected chairman Of the
board Of directors, but since that
time complete reorganization
has occurred and it is now be-
lieved that he has no interest at
ali in the road.
Machen claims that this is the
amount due him by Umstead, but
lust how the Massachusetts, man
became indebted TO the Georgian
in this amount is not known.
Umstead, it will be remem bered,
is the man who went to Bruins
wick as president and general
manager Of the Mohawk Valley
Steel and Wire Company, with
The alleged intention of erecting
a nam moth steel plant in that
city. He was guaranteed over
