Many Sudden Deaths ON Sunday.

Many Sudden Deaths ON Sunday.
ibid you ever notice there are more
sudden deaths in Philadelphia on
Sunday than any other day in the
week." remarked policeman. 1T is
true, and the records prove it. The
police book in the electrical bureau in
the city hall contains this record.
Sometimes the fatalities Of this nature
are double the number Of any week
day. How do I account for it? I don't
I simply hazard a guess or two. It
may be that folks eat more heartily
on Sunday. and this fact no doubt ag-
gravates certain ailments, bringing on
acute attacks of heart disease and indi-
gestion. For fifteen years I have no.
dced the excessive number Of deaths
on Sunday, yet have never heard any
one give a reason other than I have
mentioned. "-Philadelphia Press.

as inevitable as that an acorn will

To say that laboring men should be
satisfied with a certain rise in wages

saying that rosebud should not want

A RICH GOLD MINE.

For Several Years Eager Fortune
Seekers Worked Over 1t.
A tale is told of rich gold mine in
Idaho with a ledge Of ore which once
above the surface of the
ground in clear, solid ridge several
feet high and entirely distinct from the
surrounding formation. This ledge was
long and unbroken and lay directly
across the course which hundreds of
prospectors took every year to reach
other gold fields. This obstruction of
rock, the great value of which was
long unknown, was too high to be sur
mounted by pack animals, so the pros
pectors cut trail directly through it.
For several years these eager gold seek
ers passed backward and forward over
this trail in search of gold mines. One
night prospector camping near this
ledge of rock picked up bit of it and
from force of habit took it to creek
near by and washed it. Then he exam
ined the stone, and, to his great aston
ishment, he found "colors' in it-bits
Of sparkling gold. The prospector does
not mistake gold when he sees it. He
u not deluded by iron crystals or bits
Of mica, as the "tenderfoot" frequent
" is. The gold sparkle is clearer and
brighter than that Of any other miner
al, and it is the same in sunshine and
shadow.
The prospector, tremendously excit-
ID, broke off more pieces Of the ledge
and found more of it bearing free gold.
Then he located his claim, and that
was the beginning Of rich mine. Yet
for years the sagest Of prospectors had
passed over this trail through the cut
In this ledge, never suspecting its val
ne, although by it's very prominence it
seemed to invite inspection. - Leslie's
Weekly.

a WOMAN's POINT OF VIEW.

The Things That Most Impressed .

thought deeply a few minutes; then
she said slowly: II think it was the
lack of napkins in Scotland. Yes, that
was it. My dear, there isn't sign Of
Z napkin on the tables in Scotland. II
you ask for one, you may get it, and
then again you may not. I was en-
tertained in the homes of some Of thu
finest people in Scotland, and never a
napkin did get.

was the size of the coins in England.

stuff those cart wheels into my little
purse. One day, when my pocketbook
had become unusually clumsy, I. be-
came almost hysterical, and that night
I dreamed that was using belt

you give them some money, and it's

process in good United States money
