An Inconxenient Piano.

Leopold de Meyer of Dresden. a bril-
liant and popular pianist Of his day,
was once summoned to play before the
sultan at Constantinople. Going thith-
er. he borrowed a grand piano from
one of the Austrian secretaries of lega-
ton and had it set up in a large recep-
ton room at the palace. There be
awaited the coming of the sultan, but
when that intelligent monarch entered
the room he started back in alarm and
demanded of his attendants what that
monster was standing there on three
legs.
Explanations followed, but were in
vain. The legs had to be taken off and
the body of the instrument laid fat on
the floor, and Leopold de Meyer, squat
ting cross legged on a mat, went
through his programme as best he
could in that awkward attitude and
without pedals. But the commander Of
the faithful was delighted. and when
the last piece was played gave the art
ist over $1,000 as "backsheesh."

A Carved Cherry stone.

DR.. Peter Oliver, who lived in Eng
land during the early part of the eight
eanth century. tells of seeing a carved
cherry stone which would be a wonder
even in this age of fine tools and fine
workmanship.
The stone was one from a common
cherry, and upon it were carved the
heads of 124 popes, kings, queens. en-
perors, saints, etc. Small as they must
necessarily have been, 1t is announced
on the authority Of Professor Oliver
that with a good glass the heads Of
the popes and kings could readily be
distinguished from those of the queens
and saints by their miters and crowns.
The gentleman who brought this little
wonder to England purchased it in
Prussia, allowing the original owner
$1,000 for his treasure. Think of it
$4,000 for a cherry seed!

velously quick worker, and there is
something almost terrifying about the
skill with which he works. There is
his body, no larger than a match's

dot of nature, there is al intelligence
which is able first to prospect the area
for his web, then to plan it out like a
geometrician and then to carry out his
plan with workmanlike precision.
Meanwhile, too, it must be remember

and his weaving, but also spinning the

AN IMpUDENT G
How Sir Walter Besant Was Cured
of Promiscuous AImsGiving.

VI
1t was d OF the daily customs Of
Sir Walter Besant to take a walk
through Hyde park, London. At the
entrance TO the park sat an old beggar
woman whose woebegone appearance
caused Sir Walter to stop one day and
drop a copper penny into her out
stretched hand. After a time it be
came a regular habit to speak a word
or two to her when giving her the coin.
One day, however, the old woman
handed him back the penny, saying:
"Guv me siller or nawthink. The idea
of a gent like you givin' a poor old wo-
man like me a dirty penny! GUY me
~siller."
She came close to him and waved her
arms t~hreateningly. Sir Walter started
10 90. but she grabbed the lapel of his
coat and screamed: "Guv me siller, you
rascally rogue. GUY me what you owe
me!'
This drew a crowd, and the novelist
70 save himself threw a handful Of
coin among them and during the
scramble escaped.
He forgot all about the old haG till
one day, CHANGING to enter the same
gate again. he was aroused from a
reverie by her shrill cackle. Pointing
him out to the bystanders, she
screamed, That's 'im-the fine rogue
in the long whiskers-the bloke in the
'igh 'at!'
This was too much for the author.
He broke away with extraordinary
haste and thereafter was pretty thor
oughly cured of promiscuous almsgiv-

MOVING THE
MACHINERY
Carson Mint Is Being Moved
PieCemedI TO Philadelphia
Protest of the Papers

One OF the worst crimes that has
happened to this state is the stripping
of the United States mint in this city
of the machinery that was used to
turn out cash a few years ago. The
Carson mint made as good money, had
as fine machinery and did the work as
eheaply as any Of the minis in the
United States. yet in spite of these
facts, the old stone building is being
cleaned out Of all the remaining tools
that were used in the days when Car
son dollars we're the proper eaper.
Just why this mint should be robbed
Of the machinery is hard to state.
More than half of the bullion that is
coined in San Francisco comes from
the territories forwarding to it, while
every dollar that is coined in Philadel-
phia comes from bullion that is pro-
duced outside of the state, and in
most Instances the cash is shipped
either east or north, some of it even
finding its way to this city.
Nevada produces enough bullion ev-
cry year to keep the mint running full
blast, yet this does not seem to cut
any figure in the matter. 1t is not a
question of where the bullion is pro-
duced, but simply the location of the
minis for the convenience Of the poll
t~icians, who control the workings.
The bullion from Nevada is often
found in the Philadelphia mint. while
most of it goes to San Francisco for
coinage.
Some time ago the coinage presses
OF the Carson mint were taken from
the building in this city and sent to
Philadelphia, which shows that they
were in good order and not of the dis
carded kind. Later on more Of the
machinery was torn from it's founda-
ton and shipped either east or west.
Now the remaining machinery is be-
ing packed and is t be placed in
commission in the San Francisco
mint.
This kind of work is pretty bad
and there is something decidedly
wrong when bullion is hauled past the
door of a. mint to be coined over 5000
miles away.ICarson Appeal.
In reply to the above the News
y The answer to the question
may be found in the people of Ne
vada themselves. 1t is true that if all
the gold bullion produced in Nevada
was shipped to the Carson City mint
it would now be coming; but for some
unexplainable reason a very small
percentage of mine owners will do so.
They ship to San Francisco, Salt
Lake and Denver, but not to Carson
City. A few years ago Senator'S Stew
art and Jones endeavored to AVE the
local institution reopened, and they
were met with the proposition that
mine owners appeared to find cities In
other states more convenient as ship
ping points.
superintendent Colcord made every
effort to bring the desiTedresult about,
but was only partly successful. Had
the gold bullion producers of Nevada
sent their bullion to Carson City the
mint now would be coming, instead
of being further ~dismantled. 1t is
quite likely, also, that transportation
companies found it more to their ad-
vantage t favor other cities.

Called to Gainesville.

Rev. Thos. P. Hay of this city has
received u call to the pastorate of the
First Presbyterian church, Gaines
vile. The invitation comes as the
unanimous expression of the wishes
of the membership of the Gaines
vile church which has been without
pastor for the past several months.
The First Presbyterian society OF
Gainesville has II large membership
and its church edifice is one of the
finest in the state. The church has
been served in the past by men OF
scholarly attainments and it is some
thing of compliment to Mr.. Hay to
receive the fiattering endorsement OF
Il unanimous call.
Mr.. Hay has been pastor of the
Presbyterian church here for the past
five years and as recently as January
lst was the recipient of "happy
New Year of the pleasing and
practical kind from the board OF
deacons of the church. This con-
sisted of letter conveying assurance
es of the love of the congregation for
their minister and of appreciation of
his work and the promise of a con-
siderable increase of salary.
Mr.. Hay will look over the field at
Gainesville thoroughly before decid-
ing on a rejection or acceptance Of
the call. If he accepts it will be
from the viewpoint of duty only.
The people of Palatka without re-
spect to denomination entertain a
high regard for Mr.. Hay as a man, a
citizen and IL Christian minister, and
will earnestly hope that he will con-
tinue to cast his lot with us.
