EARTH GETS BACK GOLD.
Treasures Hidden Away in Buried
Receptacles ana Cities Of
Ancient Times.

Gold reverts to the earth in many
ways. Treasure troves are being un-
earthed constantly, especially in foreign
countries and in romantic countries
such as Mexico, the Indies and South
America, where passions and riches run
like the tides, high and low. Isn't 1t
natural that lovelorn Mexican should
bury his treasure rather than think his
rival might get it? Many treasures have
been buried in the desert, and a lone
rider at dead of night might be seen
in the old days digging up the gold he
needed from time to time. The secret
was his and his alone. If he should
chance to meet death suddenly the Sc
cret died with him. The excavations
that are being made in Greece and Egypt
show gold-trimmed ornaments. jewelry
and precious stones that have lain for
centuries beneath cities whose struggle
for gold has contrasted strangely with
the calm wealth lying just below them.
These treasure troves which come to
the surface every year probably repre-
sent but a small part of that which has
been concealed, and every ship which
founders at sea takes a certain amount
of gold with it, which may amount to
anywhere from a few pounds to mill
lions.

A TYPE OF NEW ORLEANS.
Young and Strong Negro Who Fol-
lows a Monotonous Vo-
cation.

The New Orleans organ man is not,
az in most cities, an Italian, but d
negro. He is usually young and al
ways strong, since the up-to-dats
street music box is a mighty machine
and requires as much muscle as skill
to manage properly. Numa Pompilius
is a familiar New Orleans type, and
may be seen grinding in all parts Of
the town from early morning until
midnight To the casual observer,
says the Metropolitan, this may ap-
pear a monotonous vocation, but
Numa does not think SO; anything is
better than pushing a go-cart or
working in the fields. The pickanin-
MES who follow Numa from corner to
corner know his fondness for cigars.
He, on the other hand, knows their de-
light in turning the organ crank Here,
then, is a fine opportunity for COM
plete reciprocity. Numa receives an
assorted collection of cigar stumps
picked up on the streets, and in turn
the pickaninnies are privileged to play
a bar or two of I'll Trovatore" jerked
out in sections; this because the little
blacks have not yet mastered the art of
turning smooth organ handle.

WOULD TASTE AS SWEET
Sandwich Under Any Other Name
Easier for the Waiter to
Spell.

A busy man fastened into one OF
the Qmck-lunch "caffays" that are
popular in a portion of the city, and
after smiling at the blonde whose
duty it is to ring up fares on the
cash register, called to the colored
waiter:
Bring me a sandwich and a glass
of milk, and be quick about it,
The son Of Ham bolted away and
quickly returned with the desired food
and drink.
Give me my check, quick. | am
in a hurry"
The waiter pulled out a pad OF
paper and a pencil and began to
scrawl several weird hieroglyphics on
the paper. In response to the sharp
Come, hurry up" the waiter made a
final desperate attempt and handed
the man check on which was writ
ten "One piece pie, one milk"
Here" said the guest as he de-
ciphered the characters on the slip
of paper, Il didn't order any pie"
Il know dat. boss responded the
abashed waiter, but pie and sand
witch costs jes' de same, and can't
spell sandwich.
And the blonde cashier smiled
sweetly as she invited the man to
call again.

oOURTSHlPS IN ALASKA.
Natives Have a Decidedly Unique
Method of Bringing Matters
to a Close.

If in the village of Tigara, in north
western Alaska, one sees young man
beating out a piece of metal and fash
ioning finger-ring, it is usually intend
ed for some young woman; but 1t re-
mains, says the author of short
Sketches from Oldest America" for the
meeting of the two mothers to arrange
matters.
The two families may be living close
together, yet the mother of the young
man will call on her neighbor, and tell
her how she has intended to be more
neighborly, but she has been so busy.
The neighbor will declare how de-
lighted she is to see her.
Then mother number one begins to
tell what a great hunter her son is. and
how good he is. Mother number two
remarks that her daughter is such a
lovely cook. Having taken lessons, she
knows how to cook everything.
Mother number one declares that they
are never hungry in their igloo, as son
is always successful, and brings lots OF
seals home.
Mother number two remarks that her
daughter is such a good sewer, and
knows how to chew a beautiful boot
sole.
1t is finally decided that the young
man shall enter the girls family on a
sort of trial If the girl turns up her
nose and makes faces, he may as well
leave, as the match will never amount
to anything; but should she greet him
with an occasional smile and allow him
to sit by her side in the evening, it will
all be clear sailing, and they will unite
as husband and wife.

MOTOR-CAR MECHANISM,
Propulsive Power Is Obtained
Through the Process of
Explosion.

Inc working principle of the motor
which has given the automobile this
wonderful new life is, roughly. the
principle of the rifle, says the Amer
lean illustrated Magazine. The charge
OF gas is the equivalent of the gun
powder, and the piston is the bullet;
the gas Is exploded and the piston flies
forward, and the piston rod delivers its
motion to the crank shaft of the steam
engine. In the steam engine the
steam works against both sides of the
piston; in two revolutions of the fly
wheel the steam presses against thu
piston four times. In the explosion
engine, according to the prevailing
system, the gas operates against only
one side of the piston (the end of the
cylinder through which the piston rod
works is completely OPEN, and there
is an explosion but once in two revo-
lutions of the flywheel-that is, thers
is but single explosion to four move.
ments of the piston. Those four move
ments are the power stroke (caused
by the explosion in the cylinder),
which supplies the energy to drive the
automobile and the force required to
complete the three non-power strokes;
second, a backward stroke which
pushes the exploded gases out of the
chamber through a valve which opens
tor this purpose; third, a forward
stroke which sucks the charge of gas
into the chamber through an inlet
valve, and, fourth, backward stroke
which congresses the gas, for conf
preston is necessary to secure the best
energy of the gas. The fifth stroke is
the first stroke over agaln-the gas ex-
plodes and the piston shoots bulletlike
forward.

SKETCHES AS FAVORS.
Monarch Of Portugal Kept Busy Doing
Water-Cclor Portraits
for Gifts.

The king of Portugal, besides be-
ing considered an authority upon
culinary questions, is an enthusiastic
amateur painter. 1t will be remem-
berer that several of his pictures re-
ceived awards at the recent interna-
tional exposition in Paris, and each
year he finishes number of water
colors, pastels, and pen-andink draw.
ings.
In summer when he is residing on
his estate in the north of Portugal he
makes many water color sketches OF
the young natives of that region. They,
knowing their kings fondness TO.
sketching them, seek every occasion
for crossing his path. One girl who
was about to be married recently
wrote him, saying that in honor OF
the coming event she would like Il
have one of the sketches which he
had doubtless made of her. The king,
greatly amused, summoned her to his
presence, and, quickly sketching her
portrait, presented it to her as a wed
ding gift. A week after another
pretty girl asked the same favor OF
him, and again the king granted her
desire.
Since then he has been overwhelmed
with petitions each summer, and eac ]
summer royalty grants them, to the
great delight of these, his rural
subjects.

ACTING IN REAL LIFE.

Mankind.

The better a man plays his part,
the better he succeeds. The more
man knows of the art of acting, the
greater the man, for, from the king
on his throne to the beggar in the
street, evey man is acting. There is
no greater comedian or tragedian in
the world than a great king, writes
Richard Mansfield, in Atlantic. The
knowledge OF the art of acting is
indispensable to u knowledge of man.

the disguise in which every man ar.
rays himself, or read the character
which every man assumes, you
achieve an intimate knowledge of
your fellow men, and you are able to
cope with the man, either as he is,
or as he pretends to be. 1t was nee.
essary for Shakespeare to be an actor
in order to know men. Without his
knowledge of the stage, Shakespeare
could never have been the reader OF

Napoleon and Alexander were both

greatest actor the world has ever
seen. Whether on the bridge of Lodi,
or in his camp at Tilsit; whether ad.

IN FRANCE.

The religious crisis in France has now
reached most acute stage. For years
the government has been loosening the
shackles of popery by which the people
have been bound, and by which every
department of public life has been en-
feebled. More recently the government
has taken decisive steps in the direction
Of separation of Church and State. AS
a concession to the pope, after materially
abridging the prelatical privileges of the
Church and asserting the authority of
the government in the possession and
control of ecclesiastical property of GER
tain classes, the priests were permitted
to continue, under certain restrictions
the exercise of their supposed clerical
functions in the churches. Much to the
establishment of the government and
many of the clerical party, these conces-
sions have been rejected by the Pope,
who directs that the priests ignore re-
straints and continue to occupy the
churches until driven out by violence"
The government regards the action of
the Pontiff as practically a summons of
the French Catholics to open rebellion.
