DOES GOLD CROW7
Seems to. In It's wild State, But Not AftoI
1t Has Become Civilized.

Some reasons for answering this
question in the affirmative are given
by Popular Mechanics, which warns
the reader, however, that he must not
expect to grow, gold eagles from dol
lars. Says the writer:
ut has been found that gold nuggets
under favorable conditions actuallysin-
crease in size. Gold is known to have
grown on mine timbers which have
long been immersed in mine water. In
the California State Mining Bureau
Museum there is 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 forma-
ton feeds on to effect its growth is
not known; if it were, new and Won
derfully lucrative industry might be
born and all other kinds of farming
save the growing Of gold might tenn
porarily be abandoned. The formation
and growth are due to mechanical and
chemical action. AS in the case of the
animal or vegetable, existing gold has
existed in some other state before as
suming ITS present form. Waters
which percolate through the earth's
crust are said to contain substances
from which gold is formed. Thus gold,
like the animal and vegetable, must
have water in order to thrive. The
gold in the water Is deposited when
1t meets the proper precipitant. The
preciptant may be an earth current Of
electricity, some vegetable growth or
chemical in the rocks. 1t has been
claimed that the nuggets found in pla-
GERS are the formations from the
waters that percolate through the
gravels, and are not from decomposed
quartz, as generally supposed. Those
who so contend cite the fact that In
the centre of nuggets can often be
found 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 to form around the
little grain of iron ore, and then grow
to become bright, shining nugget
Of gold much larger and purer than any
ever found in the veins Of ore."

* Y Regiment, has figured as
NX AN the hero of several anus
XXKek4ex ing anecdotes, due to the
fact that he wore an arti-
fetal leg. the result of having had one
leg amputated just below the knee,
says the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
When walking he limped very little,
and person who did not know would
never have suspected that he was
minus a leg. Some years ago, at the
Standing Rock Indian Agency, the
Sioux were indulging in the sun-dance.
In the sun-dance the bucks, in their
war paint and feathers, arrange them
selves facing the setting sun, and at
the appointed time begin their wild
dancing, slashing themselves with their
knives meanwhile, so that they soon
become covered with blood. This is
accompanied by chanting in monotone
each warrior calling on the Great
Spirit, the sun, the white man and all
his fellow-bucks to witness his bravery.
The dance keeps up until the Indians
fall from sheer exhaustion. 1t was
hand in case any trouble should occur,
and. accordingly, Captain Lords com
pany was ordered to the agency.
On the evening Of Lords arrival at
the agency he met young brave who
had cut himself more than usual in the
dance. The Captain asked him in a
contemptuous voice If he thought he
was brave man. to which the Indian
replied with a cultural ugh" The
officer then told him If he and the
other Indians wanted to see an ex-
hibition of the white mans bravery
they should come into the agency at
certain time the next day.
At the appointed time Lord entered
the room, to find it well filled with In
dians. sitting, or rather squatting, on
the floor. Going to the middle of the
room, he talked to the Indians about
their sun-dance in contemptuous
manner, and wound up by calling them
lot of old women. which, to the In
dian, is the greatest insult. When he
had them sufficiently worked up and
the Indians were restless. he said:
"See, my red brothers; see the white
mans bravery"
He then raised HIS wooden leg and
drove his sharp hunting knife through,
so that it came out on the other side.
"See, too," he added, 81 am medi-
cine man, for no blood comes"
This was enough for the Indians.
One by one, without word, they rose
and walked out of the room. each
bucks face showing plainly his respect
for the bravery of the white officer.
By night the Indian village had disap-
peared and not Sioux was to be seen
about the agency.

A TOKEN OF GOODWILL.

A smile costs so little and means so
much, it has a power peculiarly its
own. 1t can help, encourage, inspirit.
1t buoys up the receiver and about him
sheds the radiance of its beneficent
light. 1t is "twice blessed; it blesses
him that gives and him that takes"
1t is a token of goodwill and kindness
of nature. A smile is a potent infu-
ence for good; it lightens burdens, and
to the erring and repentant it is like
an extended hand, to cheer on and up
lift.
+ A smile never fails in its mission.
Even the hardest face will relax in rec
ognition Of the goodwill extended.
Do not grudge this simple but ef-
fectual means of cheering your fellow
creatures along life's rough ways

LONE SURVIVORS STORY.

A sailor Of the name of Hellsten. the
sole survivor of the British steamer
Cambrian Prince, from Coquimbo for
Middlesborough, which was wrecked in
the North Sea, was landed by the Brit
ish steamer Clavering, which rescued
him from a boat. The rescue was ef-
fected with difficulty. owing to the
high sea that was running at the time.
Hellsten says that the Cambrian
Prince was unable to make Middles-

borough owing to the severe weather
and was driven hither and thither at
the mercy of the waves for six days.
While the wind was blowing with al
most hurricane force, an enormous sea
hit the steamer and suddenly bore her
down to such an angle that her cargo
of iron ore shifted and prevented her
from righting herself. Succeeding seas
completely overturned the steamer and
she sank in few minutes.
Hellsten and four others scra mbled
into small iron lifeboat and succeeded
in casting off and getting away from
the sinking vessel. The boat contained
no provisions and nothing with which
to bail. The seas continually swamped
the small boat, washing its occupants
out. They righted the boat and
eventually one after another became
exhausted by the struggle in the Icy
water until three of the men were
lost. Another went mad from his suf-
ferings and leaped into the sea and was
drowned.
The storm gradually subsided. He'll
stem drifted for twenty-six hours with
nothing to eat or drink. When he
sighted the Clavering he was almost
exhausted. He tried to shout and
waved his hands feebly. The steamer
saw the boat and bore down to it, and
finally got Hellsten aboard.
The crew of the Cambrian Prince
numbered twenty men.

DARING WORK BY JAPANESE.

DARING WORK BY JAPANESE.
A recent occurrence in British Colum-
bia furnishes striking instance of the
daring and deXterity of Japs. A party
of eight were at work in the woods
cutting shingle bolts when one noticed
the eyes of some animal glittering in a
dark hole in a hollow tree. The Japs
rigged up cage in front of the hole,
and then proceeded to smoke the AMI.

leaped from the hole, only to find her.
self a prisoner in the cage At once
the Japs began to dance around the
cage uttering shouts of joy.
A minute later male bear, whose
presence they had not suspected,
tumbled out of the hole and charged
them. They ran for a short distance
and then one, man named Nishimito,
stopped and with one bound was on the
back of the monster. He was able TO
hold the animal until his comrades re-
turned, and then all eight threw them
selves upon bruin, bearing him to the
ground by sheers force of numbers. \
lively scrimmage followed, while one
of the Japs hurried for rope. He re-
turned to find the bear utterly exhaust
ed, and in a short time the Japs had
both animals securely trussed up, after
which they hauled them into camp.
All eight were scratched from head
to foot and had their clothing badly
torn, but received no serious wounds.
1t is likely that the Vancouver zoo will
soon be richer by two bears as result
of the daring exploit. This is the first
time in British Columbia that full-sized
bears have been captured alive without
the use of traps or firearms.

mutton and cut the meat into square
pieces, removing all skin. Have on
plate a heaped tablespoonful of flour,
teaspoonful of chopped onion, the
same quantity of chopped parsley, with
pepper and salt to taste. Dip each piece
of meal in the flour and pack it lightly
in a pie dish, scattering over all the
remains of flour, etc. Fill up the dish
with stock, water or gravy. Cover
with a good crust and bake steadily
for one and half to two hours. Let
the oven become cooler after the pastry
is done.
WAYS OF SERVING POTATOES.

and the white of one. Turn the mix
ture onto a Toured board, and when it
has cooled a little form into small
balls. Roll these balls in the beaten
white of egg and then in flour and
fry in deep fat. Set the balls on white
paper at the mouth Of the oven to
dry and then serve on Il folded napkin
garnished with sprigs of parsley. Po-
tota balls are appreciated with hot OF
cold meat. For change they may be
brushed over with milk and baked.
italian Potatoes-Rub a white fire.
proof china dish with a Glove of garlic,
then butter it and sift bread crumbs
lightly over. Slice some cold boiled po-
tatoes into this, place a few bits of
butter over, a seasoning of white pep
per and salt and a few white bread
crumbs. Repeat this till the dish is
full, then cover with fine bread crumbs
to which has been added one, fourth
of the quantity of grated cheese. Bake
for twenty minutes in a quick oven,
and serve with finely chopped capers
scattered over.
Potato Mold-Mash some potatoes
smoothly, add some butter and little
milk to make smooth, but not wet.

salt and add enough chopped parsley
to make it look pretty. Press into
creased mold and bake for half an
hour. Before serving dust with bread
raspings.
Potato Fritters-Bake six or eight

HOW TO Do TT.

II there is one thing more than all

him morbid and Cranky and dis

come morOse and irritable He is so
wrapped up in his own misery that he
is inconsiderate of everyone else. Re-

ailment, he again becomes a good fell

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are be-
yond question the most effective and
popular remedy ever offered to the suf-
ferers of this terrible disease. Tho
thousands and thousands of cures they
have brought about and the enormous
increase of their sales fully attest the
truth Of this statement.
They are. above all. a natural remedy
they possess exactly the same proper
ties that the gastric juices and other
digestive fluids of the stomach possess
and they actually do the digestive work
OF the stomach and enable that organ

manner, and cause no disturbance in
the digestive organs They prevent am
