covered by Accident.
Most of the great gold fields have
been discovered entirely through acct.
dent, says the New York Herald. The
rOmances connected with their discov.
cry have been brought to mind by the
story which comes from England Of
the young man on his way home from
New Zealand with u fortune which
came to him by accident. lie Is the
son of bill poster, who found his
way to New Zealand ana worked In
the mines. One day, while standing
Oh the edge Of n creek he picked up n
stone to throw ut u bird. A glance ut
the missile showed him that 1t was
gold. The stone proved to he the clue
to Il rich mine, of which the young
man sold his share for $4,000.
The largest nugget ever found In
California was discovered by u half
breed Indian In a brook where he was
washing his Overalls. 1t was almost
pure gold and weighed over seventy.
i've pounds. The Adams Express
Company paid $i7.4OO for 1t. Among
the mining exhibits at the worlds fair
was a nugget worth $1,000. A woman
had picked 1t up to throw ut her
COW, but seeing the color ana weight
she thought better OF 1t and took 1t
home. Another romantic little story,
not without It's patlos, Is told Of the
famous Martin Oliver nugget. Martin
was miner whose partner had died.
He was digging the grave In sandy
spot at the base of Il elf when his
pick struck something hard. 1t proved
to be II nugget which weighed 15O
pounds and sold for $,6.27O.
The famous silver mines Of Zaca.
tecas, Mexico, from which $5OO.OOO.OOO
worth Of ore has been taken, were dis
covered In u remarkable way. An In
dian In pursuit Of an antelope was
climbing the steep slope Of hill and
seized bush to help himself up. The
plant gave way and revealed beiiea tn
the roots rock which proved to be al.
most pure silver. One OF the richest
mines In the Antilles was the outcome
Of rabbit chase. An Indian was
hunting rabbits one day when one Of
them was chased by his dog into hole
In the hillside. The Indian started to
dig the rabbit out, but before he had
shOveled u half dozen spadefuls of
earth found, to his delight, that be
was literally shOveling silver.

Origin of Mncnroni.

Indianapolis Sentinel.
 A great many stories are in exist . ence about the origin of the word ''macaroni" and the invention of the dish so designated. According to one authority a drunken chef employed by one of the Popes was responsible both for the name and the dish. He was preparing a souff1e for the PapaI soup. and. having taken considerably more than a drop too much, he went on stirring the flour until the soutfie was of the consistency of hardtack. The assistant chef knowing that His Ho- Illness was not overpatient about things pertaining to the table. ven- tured to call the attention of his chief to this fact, and the latter, being q resourceful man. decided to make q paste instead of a sOuffle He awaited the result with some anxiety, and re- sponded to a call to appear before His Holiness with considerable anxiety Visions of a stay in the Papal dun- geons rose before him. and when the Pontiff asked. with a smiling face. for the name of the wonderful paste served in the soup. he was too ner- vous to think of name Mi caro- (my favortte). he replied at last: and the Pontiff. not catching the words ex- actly, said: "Macaroni" We'll in fu- ture never serve me a meal without a dish of rhacaroni"

HANDS ARE tied
FORMER RUSSIAN OFFICER ON IN
DUsTRIAL CONDITIONS.
He Says There Is No Chance for Ameri-
can Capital to Develop Country's
Wonderful Resources Till System Is
Changed, and Reign Of Official Graft
Is Ended.

The opinion Of Charles R. Flint of
New York, the well-known economist,
who was presented to Emperor Nicholas
for industrial development are much
the same in Russia as in America, is
strongly seconded by M. B. Dillon, for
merly an officer in st. Petersburg
regiment and now in business in Mime
apolis. Mr.. Dillon does not believe,
however, that the red tape, surrounding
all business transactions in Russia will
allow American capital to promote this
development.
The bureaucracy which has hand
IN every movement chokes the chances
Of development, rs said Mr. Dillon today.
''The government is responsible as far
as it permits the bureaucracy to exist,
but it is not the government which
reaps the benefit of the graft which
all business men have to pay. Every
one in the vast crowd Of officeholders
has his hand out, and the palm must be
crossed with gold. After business
man has worked day and night and has
expended all his profits to secure some
slight protection and thinks that per-
haps the coast is clear, he finds out that
| he is still surrounded by officials higher
up, who must all have their pockets
lined. In case an American could con-
Quer all LneSe U1HlCultleS, after his
money was invested and his ma'nufac-
turing enterprise was proving success.
more red tape would be invented by the
officials, and he would eventually be
squeezed out and his business would be
taken up by those who had bled him
the most. Perhaps he might not be
hampered at first, so as to allow his en-
terprise to get well started.
Government Powerless.
"The government does not wish these
conditions, but it is powerless to stop
the graft unless a radical change is
" made in the government itself. What
Is needed is a just constitution, one
that will guaranty rights to all classes
Unless these barriers are taken away
the country will remain as unwieldy a:
it now is.
"Americans have no idea what
wonderful country Russia really is il
possibilities. It has even greater re
sources than this country. There are
vast stretches Of land which greatly
resemble Minnesota. Fertile land ant
rich ores lie there, yet no one wishes
the land. Graft stops the development
Of railroads and the people do not car,
to move hundreds Of miles from I
market. When the government doe
away with the bureaucracy and grant
constitution and throws open tn
lands to railroads and the people, the1
there will be chance for American
} capital.'
