While begging for quick release on

amount checks with the original re-
cord made by the chief weigher.
adams method of extracting the
gold consisted of substituting sand for
dust during the interval bet ween
when the deposit left the hands of the
weigher and was received by the melt
er. In order that the weights of the
two officials might tally he used de-
Iicate gold scale, which lie kept sec
rete1 in the vault, of which he had
charge. He would place a capsule
containing send in one pan and extract
sufficient gold from the deposit to bal
auce the opposing pan. He then pour
ed the sand into the deposit ani put
the dust he had extracted into his
pocket.

Thomas Jefferson tells this good
one: A New York vegetarian wsnt to
a restaurant and took seat next t. a
stranger.
The vegetarian took occasion to ad
vertise his creed by telling the strang
er that all meat was injurious and
that the human diet should be strict
ly vegetarian.
"But, replied the stranger, II sell
dom eat meat"
"You just ordered eggs" said the
vegetarian. IAN egg is practically
meat, because it eventually becomes
bird -
"The kind of eggs eat never be-
come birds, answered the stranger
quietly.
Good Heavens" cried the vege-
tartan what kind ofeggs do you eats
principally boiled eggs, said the
stranger
