Thought He Knew Him.

n laborer was engaged in the grounds
Of an asylum and received instructions
to pay no attention whatever to the re-
marks of the patients.
Some little time after he commenced
work the governor of the asylum, a
well known doctor, looking at the prog
ress of the work. mildly suggested one
alteration. The workman dug steadily
on and never lifted his head.
The doctor raised his voice, but the
man, without answering, went on dig
ging theoretically. The doctor threat
ened. stormed and finally Numbered
out:
'Do you know who am"
The laborer Strengthened his back
looked at him a minute and. shaking
his head, sorrOwfully exclaimed:
Poor chap! l am sorry for ye," and
went on calmly with his work.-Lon-

a Monster SDrino.

No state in the Union has larger or
more numerous springs than Florida.
Many Of them form good sized streams
from the start, and some of them are
navigable. The largest spring in the
state. and one of the largest and prob
ably the best known in the United
States. is Silver spring. which is To-
Gated six miles east of Ocala. This
spring forms the source of the Ok
lawha river. a tributary of the st

river enter the spring basin. which has
an area of several acres. The water
is from twenty-five TO thirty feet deep
and is wonderfully clear, appearing alb

BUTTER BY THE YARD.
The Way 1t Is Sold, Pure and Sweet
In Cambridge, England.

In cambridge, England.
In Cambridge, England. butter is
sold by the yard. For generations it
has been the practice of Cambridge
shire dairy folk to roll their butter into
lengths. each length measuring a yard
and weighing pound. Deity wrap
ped in strips of clean white cloth, the
cylindrical rolls are packed in long,
narrow baskets made for the purpose
and thus conveyed to market. The
butter women who, in white linen
aprons and sleeves, preside over the
stalls in the market have no need of
weights or scales for dispensing their
wares. Constant practice and ex-
perienced eyes enable theSn with a
stroke of the knife to divide q yard
Of butter into halves or quarters with
almost mathematical eXactness.
The university people are the chief
buyers of this curiosity shaped prod
uct. In addition to being famed for
its purity and sweetness Cambridge
yard butter" is eminently adapted for
being served to the students in the
daily commons. Cut in conveniently
sized pieces and accompanied by loaf
of the best wheat bread, a stated por-
ton is sent round every morning to
the rooms of the undergraduates for
use at breakfast and tea.-Chicago

Digging into Jericho.

Prof. Sellin's excavations on the
site Of the ancient city Of Jericho
are yielding Unexpectedly rich
treasures. In his last letters tG
the Vienna Academy of Scierca
the professor writes that over Ice
men are digging at five different
points. One Of the most interest
ing finds is the historical city wall,
built of burut-lme bricks. It was
some ten feet in thickness, rising
from stone foundation. On the
western side OF the city the wall
was nearly 40 feet in width. At
another point private house was
found built over another house OF
a still earlier epoch. Other dis
coveries, says Pail Mall Gazette.
include lampe, plates, cups, need
lea, weighte, mertars and mills OF
bronze and stone, some OF very
rough and primitive handiwork
and others very finely executed.
ln the inner city remains of rows of
houses have been uncovered. The
ancient Hebrew lettering proves
that the old Hebrew characters
we're IN use. Prof. sellin hopes to
renew the excavating work next
winter. In the meantime he Gays

Gold Mining in the Klondike.

Tha gold output OF the Cana
dian Yukon The Klonkike for
this year is placed at $3.000,O00,
the smallest production since the
,egion became an important pro-
ducer IN 1898. This marked fall
ing of is due mainly to the past
dry summer, which has been the
driest season ever known in the
country; this resulted in the cur
tallment of hydrauliclng and other
placer operations. The note
worthy gold winning was with
dredges, seven of which have been
at work while five more are being
made ready fer next season. Ad-
ditional dre1ges, as we'll as exten-
sve hydraulicking plants, will be
installed next summer and the in
dications are that the 1907 yield
will be the smallest recorded for
many years. An abundance of
water is now assured bv the COM
pletion OF the Gaggenheim water
supply system, which consists of
over seventy miles Of bitches,
fumes and piping; the bitches are
in places as wide as twenty five
feet; the supply from this system
will be available in early summer.
The magnitude of the operations
under way may be gathered on
learning that the Guggenheims
alone are employing about l,700
men.
Mr.. W. B. McInnes, formerly
Gold Commissioner of Yukon Ter
fitory, whose statements we have
quoted above. also says that the
Yukon river has been SO low this
season that steamers fro n both /
Whitehorse and 81. M,chae,s have !
experienced great difficulty in
eaching Dawson, as a result of
vhice there will be shortage OF
at Dawson and other
Ipper river points this winter;
is not likely that conditions will
'e serious, although considerable
inconvenience is anticipated. 1t is
sti mated that between 5000 and
900 people will winter at Daw-
on and other Klondike settle
