THE MOOR AS A SERVANT.

Mighty Picturesque, but With Hospit-
able Notions Of His Own.
An artist in New York has Moor
for servant. The artist found him
dancing in a side show at the fair and
they had little chat between dances.
It was a one-sided chat for the Moor
knows little English, though he knew
enough English or human nature to
say that he had been a servant of the
Sultans. Before the Moor danced
again the artist had asked him to be
his servant.
The Moor could not say, modestly,
What, in this attire?" for his scarlet
robes and turban were gorgeous; but
he did murmur something about being
dressed differently from American
servants The artist wanted him as he
was. and said SO.
So as he Is, in scarlet grandeur, he
waits on the artists studio apart
ments. The guests hold their breath
little when the enormous man In
red enters the room to do the tea
chores. The artist, however breathes
evenly.
The Moor has a trick of hospitality
toward his employers guests Of which,
perhaps. It would be well for the
artist TO break him, as it proves nerve
shatterlng to the initiated He solemn
" takes it upon himself to greet each
guest. as he or she arrives. with prof
fered hand and the plaintive murmur
MY friend"
Perhaps the artist thinks It Is better
not to correct the Moor He Is very
big msn, and the artist treats him pos
lItely.

LOOKS like more snow!"
At the sound of his masters voice
a shepherd dog raised his head in
quiringly, and followed the gaze of
the speaker as he studied the leaden
sky and the crests of snowclad ridges
and mountains. This habit of voicing
thought develops in those who spend
long periods in solitude, and James
Blake-once farmer boy in Hing
ham, and now a California gold miner
and prospector-w no exception to
the rule.
Let's get breakfast. Dog. he said
as he entered the cabin. 81 told you
it was going to snow"
Blakes cabin stood well back from
the edge of cliff half way up the
slope of valley in the Sierra Ne,
vadas of Central California.
Scattered along the walls were min
ing tools, powder kegs, guns, fishing
rods, and a miscellaneous assortment
Of lumber and frewood. A small but
strongly constructed ell was used as
storeroom launches of venison,
the carcass of a brown bear, and long
strings of mountain trout were here
securely guarded against the depre-
dations of wandering animals. Bags
Of flour and oatmeal, some potatoes,
sides of bacon, and the remnants of
ham completed the more substantial
portion of Blake's larder. He often
surveyed his snug storeroom with
much satisfaction Nothing but con.
migration or serious illness could
disturb ms lapors curing the lone
winter season.
Breakfast ended James Blake Iii
his pipe and started for the mouth OF
the tunnel. Though less than an hour
had passed since he entered the cabin
the snow already had drifted across
the path and blocked the door Those

It was such a storm that Blake
faced when he opened the cabin door
and plunged through the drifts into
the tnnnel
This is an old snifter, isn't it,
Dog?" he exclaimed as he stood in
the mouth of the shaft and shook the
snow from his blouse.
Blake lit a lantern and wormed his
way into the dismal hole. A few min
utes later he was hard at work, paus.
ing now and then to examine the rock
with eager eyes. He had been toiling
for three hours or more when the
dogs smiling attracted his notice. AS

WONDERS IN MECHANICS.
Some That Were Worked by Young Americans with a Genius for
 Invention.

A young man who at 21 had been be. fore the mast. had worked in the chemical department of mill and had lectured upon nitrous-oxtde gas throughout the country patented tho rotating chamber for a pistol It was not considered particularly valuable un. til after his first company that made it had failed and fights in Texas and witt the Seminoles in Florida proved it's worth. The Mexican war made a de- mand for it.
 The same mechanic, says the Worlds Work, who did so much for early ax-making developed details in revolver-makfng. The American plan of not hesitating at the cost of new appliances was never better shown than in this big armory. The owner was probably the first man to suggest the mining of harbors with torpedoes for defense, and he was the first to lay q submarine electric cable. One day a young man from Vermont came to his works.
 What can you do?" asked the su- perintendent
 ''I'm machinist, a toolmaker and a diesinker and I can play horn in a band" was the reply.
 He went to work the next day. A few years later he multiplied by 40 the value of certain labor in another fac- tory, and by another invention saved the company S50000 on contracts ai- ready made. Later, with sewing ma chine company, he forged shuttles from one piece of bar steel and cut previous costs in half. Since that time he has made forgings by the use of drops weighing as much as ton dropping with dies sometimes six feet upon iron, steel and copper. An example of his in- ventive genius is the instance of his forging offhand from single piece of copper commutator bars for electric dynamos after the electrician in charge had said that such a scheme was i'm possible.

Priest and Donkey.

When Archbishop Farley was private chamberlain to the late Pope Leo. some 20 years ago. he was called upon to meet all sorts of persons. Many of them measured wits with him. and few scored victory. On one occasion a young Frenchman tried his best to anger the prelate, then Mons. Farley. by scoffing at religion and clergymen. Failing in this, he resorted to sheer impudence, saying: q am informed that in Mada- gascar, whenever they hang priest. they hang donkey along with him"
 The young man laughed, and Mons. Farley, looking at him mildly, said: "Well, let us both be thankful, my young friend, that we are not in Madagas- car"

THE COMMERCIAL BANK {?

We have received several inquiries re-

field. There is no such bank doing bus
mess in Goldteld. A man named
Joseph Graves is using this name in ad-
vertisements of the Goldtield Chief Min
ing company which are appearing in the
eastern papers. To a representative OF
THE News he stated that the property
owned by the company mentioned OH
sisted of one mining claim situated 10
miles northeast of Diamondield, which
was located about 60 days ago and which
has not been recorded, and a one-half
interest in another claim in same locality.
Ground 10 miles northeast of Diamond
field would hardly be considered as
mines located in the famous Goldfeld
district in the same LOCALITY of other
mines that have jumped from 10 cents
per share to from 85 cents 20 SIS per
share and still going up" 81. the adver-
tisement of the so-called Commercial
Bank" states. Inquir- at several of
the Goldfeld banks Jailed to elicit any
information regarding the Commercial
Bank of Goldfeld except that complaint
would be made to the postmaster general
with the request that a fraud order be is
sued to stop delivery of mail. For the
protection of our readers we repeat
that there is no such institution as the
Bank doing a banking bust
in Goldfeld.
