An Unseen SpIendor.

A Parsee, visiting London for the
first time, dined one night with the
Bishop, who tried to convert him.
Now, theParsees are sun worship
pers, and it Gid not occur to the Bishop
when he took up his line of argument
that the London Winter season is one
long, cold, wet fog, and that the sun
never shows himself. Said the Bishop
Here you are, my friend, a man OF
culture, widely travelled, generous,
brave. wise, and yet you worship the
sun. How can you do it? I can't
understand how any sensible person
should worship a created object, such
as the sun"
"Ah, but you should see it once,
cried the Parsee. warmly You have
no idea what a spendid thing it is

SPLIT In DAVIDSON
Probability Of Two Democratic Leeis
lative- Tickets In The Field.

Special to the Herald.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept. S.-There
is a prospect of two legislative tickets
in Davidson county, each claiming to
be Democratic. The County Commit
tee at it's meeting this morning re-
scinded the call for primary to NOM
innate candidate and made a call
for delegated convention Oc-
tober "a. The reform element fav-
ored the primary and the call for the
delegated convention is said to have
been influenced by the saloons and
gamblers.
It is charged that Chairman Tom
Hart in his conduct of the committee
meeting this morning made arbitrary
decisions that overthrow the will OF
the majority. The reform element
will not submit to the convention plan,
and if it is persisted in, there will be
two Democratic tickets.

WELL LINED WITH GOLD.


At Nishima, Japan, there is a Won
derful castle possessing gold-lined
well, which affords the garrison an
abundant water supply. Not only does
gold line the WELL but it is also fash
toned into two great golden dolphins
which glitter on the castle roof. These
dolphins are centuries DID, and one
of them was once taken down and sent
for exhibition to Vienna, as rare ex-
ample of antique craftsmanship. The
fate of Cleopatras Needle befei the
dolphin, as the ship on which 1t was
sank and the ornament remained for
many years at the bottom of the sea.
Numerous attempts were made to
raise it, and at last one was success
full, and the golden dolphin was re-
instated in its original plaee.-Chica'

FIsHHooKs OF GOLD.

E. ]. Smith, of Tucson, Ariz., has
four gold fishhooks that he unearthed
in South American places. He was
mining in a river bed near the city OF
Cali. in the state of Cauca, United
States of Columbia, in 1866, when he
pulled up small tree by the roots,
and there in the sand lay an even
bakers dozen of regularly shaped gold
fishhooks of the ordinary size. They
are not bent in the Limerick fashion.
Without doubt they are the work OF
prehistoric Indians governed by the
Oncas. When Mr. Smith returned to
San Francisco he gave some away, lost
others, and now has only four left.
He has been repeatedly asked to put
his price on these, but he refuses to
do So The other day he refused an
offer of $40 for one. 1t was such
trifes as these that excited the ayarice
of Piazzaro.-Forest and Stream.

MEXICO CITY, Sept. ct has been
found that the walls of adobe houses
in the suburbs of Guanajuato contain
gold and silver in paying quantities.
Three hundred small houses were torn

and silver which will net them some
$50, O0O The adobe used in the con-
struction of these old houses was made
from mud produced from slime of the
grinding of ores of many rich mines
of the district. Some two hundred
thousand tons have already been
smelted, the value running about eight

1900 feet above earth in an airship he

his life, declared that the story OF
a broken propeller shaft was told as
a ruse to avoid making the ascension
Therefore, Matterey went up "just to
make good"

NEW WHISKEY CURE
A Kentuckian Tied to Mule That Got
Scared.

ELIZABETHTOWN, KY, Sept. T.
Charley Howard, of Red Hill, this
county, relates narrowing experience
through which he passed and one that
converted him into an uncompromis-
ing prohibitionist. He had come to
town, and after attending to some
business, visited several saloons. Just
before night he mounted his mule and
started for home, very much under the
influence of whiskey When a consid-
cradle distance from town he became
sleepy and fell from his mule. The an
imal stopped and Howard decided to
take a nap before proceeding further.
For the lack of a better hitching post
he looped the bride over his ankle,
and went to sleep. 1t 30 happened that
he fell off the mule near the Illinois
Central railroad, and soon after a
freight train passed, which greatly
frightened the mule. The first How
ard knew of this he was being drag
ged through briars and bushes by the
mule at a lively rate. After being
carried more than hundred yards he
managed to grab small tree, and by
holding on for dear life and with
many "whoas" he finally persuaded
the mule to stop. He was entirely
destitute of clothes, and was bleeding
from head to feet. Howard claims that
long before the mule stopped he had
sworn off ever taking another drink.
He will recover.

TURTLE $50 A POUND.

THE flesh of the green turtle often
brings $50 a pound" said an oyster
dealer. This rich meat comes to us
from the coral roofs of the West Indies.
"The turtles are caught in nets
among the rocks. They are very care
fully brought North. They are deck
passengers at first. but as the wealth
err grows cold with the ships progress
they are penned in warm rooms below
regular staterooms.
Its different treatment that they
get, though, at the natives hands. If
a native is bringing turtles North he
nails them fast to the deck by their
fiippers. Strange creatures that they
are, they seem to suffer little under
such cruel treatment.
"The calipee and salipash are respec'
lively the flesh from the breast and
the back of the green turtle, tid-bits
which | have heard epicures say are
unequaled in the earth beneath, the
heaven above or the waters under the
earth. This meat is superlatively
rich, delicate and tender. Live green
turtle fetches wholesale from dime
to a quarter a pound.
What makes the meat so expen-
sive in the end is that out of 40
1 eel, ,1rr erA4 Arxrr lie
of calipee and one of calipash. Sever
al times when there has been a tight
turtle market the chefs of million
aires and of certain extravagant no
tells have offered me 81 pound for
live turtles. At that rate your calipee
and calpash would come to quite $50
a pound. New Orleans Times-Demo-

SALT TO LAY DUST.

Salt is the latest device for laying
dust on roads in the country. The
author of this new departure is M.

who has published it as the result of
long series of experiments. The list
of these, while bringing out the weak
side of the new system, possesses real
possibilities of utility. A long stretch
of road was first watered and then
sprinkled with salt. The next day the
surface of the road was covered with
a thin glazer crust. Rain removed
this in parts, but where the glaze re

NOVEL LiFE INSURANCE.

A curious form of life insurance was
introduced some years ago in French
manufacturing towns under the name
of La Fourmi (the anti. The peculi-
arity is that the longer man lives
the less he becomes entitled to. The
payment of about a dollar month
assures the payment of $1,000 to the
heirs of man dying before the age
of 3S, payment diminishing proportion
ately to $50 at 81. The idea seems
to be that if man dies young his

when he is so they will be able to earn
their own living.-Kansas City Journal.

In burning garbage in the range
it is q mistake to put it directly OF

morning it is dried to a finder and

gets hotter, leaving no odor what
