Burmah's Amber Mines.

In Burmah amber is found in a re-
gion difficult Of access and jealousy
guarded by those who have every in
terest in keeping their secret. 1t is
situated in the Hukong valley, sur
rounded on three sides by almost i'm
passable ranges of mountains, so that
1t is accessible only from the south
across low hills forming the watershed
between the Chindwin and the IRA
waddy. In n of these low hill
ranges are the famous and mysterious
mines Of golden resin. 1t is obtained
in a very primitive way. After the
harvest the diggers go to the hills,
and selecting a place where there ars
no pits dug by previous prospectors,
shape with their swords a small
pointed hoe. a wooden shovel, and a
basket of split bamboo. With these
they make a hole in the blue clap, re-
moving the refuse by means Of the
basket, and gradually deepening the
shaft. Three men work in company
one below (the shaft not being large
enough for more than one at a time),
while the others hand up the basket.
The amber Is found in pockets"
which are generally indicated by
strings Of coaly matter appearing in
the clay.-Stray Stories.

PROVIDENCE-AND A TRUST
Simple Circumstances That Brought About a Monopoly in a Public
Necessity.

This trust>business now agitating
the public is by no meaEs a new
thing" said a banker from northern
Michigan the other day to a Chicago
Journal reporter. although it seems
to be something of a surprise to the
public. Trusts were heard of as many
as forty years ago, and if not on such
a large scale, it was because money
was not so plenty.
Il believe that | was one Of the first
trusts ever heard of in the United
States. | was in business in Missouri,
and a creditor who went to the wall
turned over to me a barrel Of catfish
hooks. The supply was large enough
to meet the ordinary demand for ten
years to come, but a singular thing
happened that fall. There was an cpl
demic among live stock, and beef,
pork and mutton became scarce and
high. There hadn't been a run of cat
fish in the fall for twenty years, but
that fall they fairly swarmed in the
Missouri. Everybody wen in for cat
fish, and, of course, there was a big
demand for hooks.

THOUGHT HIM THE PRESIDENT
Strenuous Looking Philadelphia Newspaper Man Received Ihunders
Of Applause.

There Is a newspaper man Of sturdy

inches taller and bigger Of girth than

visit of President Roosevelt to this
city, says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
And there are a lot of high school boys

they were gazing upon R~oosevelt's
visage. Their error furnished much
amusement to the boys and the news
paper man who was so highly honored.
1t was just as the Presidential
party arrived at the school that the in
cident occurred. They had driven up
Broad street and the newspaper man
had gone up on a car, In order to
reach the High School in time to see
the ceremonies there. He arrived
while the president was discarding his
hat and overcoat in the faculty room.

at one Of the usual Saturday night auc-

loaded the box On his wagon and drove
home.

came into my ONCE.

box. Now, l want that box, and l in

"I guess so.' l replied.
"'How much will it cost? he says.

with that he planked down the
cash and told him to come in again
In a couple of days. As soon as he
was gone I hitched up and drove out

ance business, too, In those days, and

CHAPTER II.

1t WaS q week later.
Bluebell had gone to Ladysmith,
riding across the dry, open veldt by
the wagon-path on her sure-footed lit
tie horse Rover. She was q capital
horse-woman. and nothing daunted
her when in the saddle.
1t was a very hot day, and there
were signs Of coming rain, which made
Bluebell hurry. Her path lay across
the dry veldt. Coarse, parched grass
and withered shrubs made it ooh like
a desert. The road was a bad and mar
row one. 1t swelled and undulated
like an ocean, dipping down into
a hollow, now rising to the height OF
a little green-covered kopie. Some
times she rode close to the river,
which seemed almost dry now, SO long
had been the drought; and always she
kept in sight of the great frowning
eagles and vultures circled in their
sky-piercing flight.
Bluebell had messages at Lady
smith. but 1t was not Of her mes
sages she was thinking as she nearsd
her destination. She was close to 1t
at last. She saw the little town nest
ling, as it seemed in the distance, al
most at the bottom Of Bulwaan.
though in truth separated from 1t BY
wide stretches Of meadow lands, with
the Kip winding its course through
them.
Now she passed numerous kopjes OF
red earth. interspersed with shrubs,
between which grew abundance OF
flowers, white jasmine and climbing
convolvulus, and the rich glory OF red
and yellow bloom clustered thickly on
the low. dwarf shrubs which covered
the kopjes.
Bluebell had acquaintance in Lady
smith. The Leslies were pretty well
known in the country.
She was just turning into the town
when some n emerging from behind
a sudden curve came towards her.
Bluebell started a little and stopped
over Rover, a richer color than exer-
cheeks.
In a few seconds the new conner was
close to her. and lifting his big gray
hat from his head, paused by her
horse. He was a young man, perhaps
nearing thirty, attired in gray khaki,
and with a %sunburnt face which show
ed that he was exposed to
all weather. For the rest, he had
been originally a fair-compleXioned
man, with good features and an open,
frank expression. His dark gray eyes
were clear and steady, but could look
wonderingly soft and tender. They
did SO now, though his expression was
one of much anxiety as he held out his
hand, into which Bluebell put hers
without a word.

TALES OF IRISH DOCTORS.
Queer Experiences Recorded by the
Profession.

Profession.
A physician in the out-of-the-way
corner of Ireland has many opportuni-
ties to laugh, although his amusement
must be mingled with anxiety, for his
peasant patients do strange things.
They have great faith in the foctor, a
superstitious faith in his drugs n
appliances, but they often make non
sense of his orders. Mr.. Michael Mac
Donagh in his Irish Life and Charac-
ter gives some instances of Irish
simplicity in dealing with the physi-
clan.
A ~dispensary doctor once prescribed
two pills for a sick laborer, which he
sent by the mans wife in a small box,
bearing the direction: THE whole to
be taken immediately"
On visiting the patient a little later
the doctor was surprised to find that
the pills had rot helped him. He
asked the mans wife if she haG given
him the medicine.
Il did, doctor" replied she; but
maybe the lid hasn't come off yet"
The sick man had -wallowed box and
all.

In due time the desired baby ar

yet"
An Irishman who had sent for the
doctor for the first time in his life
watched with establishment while the
physician took his clinical thermome-
ter from it's case, slipped it under the
patients armpit, and told him to keep
it there a second or two.
Mike lay still, almost afraid to
breathe, but when the doctor removed
the thermometer he drew a long
breath and exclaimed, "Ah, | do feel a
dale betther already, sor."
