Fatal Good Fortune.

There is a story told Of miner to
whom sudden good fortune brought as
sudden death. He was a man who
touched i'll luck at the start and could
not get away from 1t. Not grain Of
gold could he find in his own claim;
his capital was exhausted; be could
not even obtain a livelihood as Ia
borer for others. In the depths Of de-
spair he went to the owners Of q mine
long worked out and begged permission
to go down the shaft. It was granted
He went down, and 200 feet from the
surface be drove in his pick and dis
lodged something. He came up with
It and asked that his find might be e2-
amtned and weighed That'was done.
'Ts it all minew he asked It was,
they told him. 'Tt's not the govern
ment's?' No, it was not the govern
ment's. 'Nor anybody else's?" No,
nor anybody else's. ut all belongs
entirely and solely to me" 1t did
The nameless wanderer had found one
Of the biggest nuggets unearthed. It
weighed 1876 pounds Of pure gold. They
turned to congratulate him, to find
that joy had killed him. The story is
said to be true.

Brass Button Acts.

Acts were .,assed in the reigns OF
William I'LL, Anne and George 1.
which made 1t illegal for any tailor
to make or any man to wear clothes
with any buttons other than those
made of brass appended thereto. The
law further enacted that not only
should any tailor who committed
breach Of it be fined 40 shillings,
but also that he should not be able TO
recover from his customer in court
Of law the price Of the suit which he
had adorned with the offending but
tons. The whole object Of the act was
to protect the Birmingham metal but
ton makers. A case which came be-
fore the courts in the year 1854 or
1855, in which a man. on being sued
by his tailor, raised successful de-
fense relying on the acts in question,
that the buttons on the clothes which
he had ordered were bone and not
brass, called attention to the existence
of the anachronism, and the resG1c-
lions were soon after abolished.-Lon-
don King.

Peculiar Custom That Prevails In
Northern Australia.
Uncles rule among the native tribes
bordering Torres strait where the re-
lationship between maternal uncle and
nephew is. regarded as being closer
than that between father and son.
There g man is bound to stop fighting
when ordered to do so by his mothers
brother, and the uncle is entitled to bid
his sisters husband cease any hostlli-
ties in which he may be engaged.
Moreover, the quelled combatant is re-
quired to make a present to the uncle
or brother-in-law, as the case may be,
who stops him.
When man marries in these parts
his father provides the wherewithal to
purchase the bride, but it is the mater
nal uncle who makes the actual pay
nent and who acquires the credit at
tached thereto.
a man in those parts may not utter
the names Of his wife's relations, and
when he speaks to his father or moth

speak humbly, the underlying idea be-
ing probably a pretense that he has
carried his spouse away forcibly from
her home and must sue for peace.

OUR INAUGURAL OATH.

It Is the Shortest and Simplest Take
en- by Any Ruler.
The oath Of Office taken by the In
coming president Of the United States
is the shortest and the simplest re-
quired Of any ruler OF earth. It is pre-
scribed by the constitution and is as
fellows:
Il ~ solemnly swear (or affirm that
I will faithfully execute the Office Of
president Of the United States, and, to
the best Of my ability, protect preserve
and defend the constitution Of the Unit
ed States"
This oath is slowly repeated by the
president elect after the chief justice
of the supreme court, In the presence Of
the public upon platform erected in
front Of the main door on the eastern
side of the capitol While the oath IS
being repeated the president elect and
the chief justice face each other and
hold with their right hands between

interested or especially procured for
the occasion, which becomes the prop
erty Of the president afte- it has been
appropriately inscribed and sa21ed oy

at the close Of the oath the president
elect bows his head and kisses the open
page of the book, and 1t has been Gus
tomary for him or for his wife or a
friend to- select some appropriate pas
sage at which the book shall be opened
and the verse upon which be shall press
his lips. Sometimes, when those inter
ested forget or neglect to choose pas
sage, the Bible is opened at random,
but the clerk Of the supreme court is
always careful to note and mark the
exact place where the lips touched tne

4 well known travelling man who vls-

who asked for cough medicine, wheth-
er it was wanted for a child or for an
adult, and if for child they almost IN
variably recommended Chamberlain.s

is that they know there is no danger
from it and that it always cuues. There

river, were made by him and Edward

was Washburn & Wilton. They |
were also the largest manufacturers
of lathe chucks in the United States |
at that time, and so far as known the
largest in the world. The first sale |
of the planers was made by j. R. |
