After few coastwise voyages to and
from San Francisco I went to Mel

there to Newcastle and thence back
to Melbourne. l then shipped on the
barque Burnham for Hong Kong and

and thence to London, where spent
two weeks sight seeing. The Great
Eastern, used in laying the first At
lantic cable, was then building there.
She looked like big mountain. From
London I went to New York as a
passenger in the fine packet ship
Amazon From there I went to my
old home in Maine, where l remained
until fall when I got the California

for San Francisco either at Boston
or New York, I shipped as second
mate on the barque Virginia for Trim

Contractor J. S. Groll went to
Waldron island few days ago.. with
three men and scow load of lum-
Der, to erect big bunk house and
mess house at the Sweeney stone
quarry. Several men are now at
work there opening up the quarry.
It is the intention Of Mr.. Sweeney to
get out paving blocks to be used in
Seattle and Tacoma. He will also
furnish Building stone whenever de-
sired. His rock is of the finest quail
ty, it having been passed upon by ex-
perts in both Seattle and Tacoma.
Judge w. II. Thacker and wife,

friends here for several days. They
have been making quite an extended
tour cf' the Sound country and the
Judge says that it has been one of
the most pleasant outings he has ever
had. He delivered the Memorial day

The Grave of Goldsmith.

That Oliver Goldsmith was buried in
the churchyard OF the Temple has
been placed beyond doubt by the entry
in the register. But the stone on the
north side of the Temple church,
around which the enthusiasts of the
Goldsmith club gather, has been placed
on a spot purely conjectural, for the
exact position Of the grave has never
been discovered. The real site was
remembered as late as 1880. In that
year the sexton, very aged man, who
apparently was present at the burial,
still venerated an elder tree, which,
he said, marked the site of Gold
smiths grave. This elder tree seems
to have stood few feet south of the
present stone, near the old vestry-
Westminster Gazette.

Properties of Gold.

Pure gold is unaffected by the at
mosphere either at ordinary tempera-
lures or when the metal is heated. 1t
Is also proof against the action of
common acids when used singly.
Moreover, says the jewelers. Circular
Weekly, 1t confers its properties more
or less upon copper and silver when
these metals are alleged with it.
Thus, for example, IL karat gold will
Withstand the action of nitric acid and
the atmosphere at ordinary tempera-
ture, but some of the copper will be
oxidized during annealing. Nine parts
Of gold may be alleged with ten parts
Of platinum in an ordinary crucible
and fire, but such an alloy will not be
uniform; large proportion Of plat
mum will free itself from the gold on
qualification and homogeneous alloy
of the two metals cannot be obtained.

"GET TIE FIRST S1,CUu.~
Ancient Axiom That Has Set Many
Men to Saving.

Get the first $1,000 After that
money-making is easy" This is the
old-time sage advice of the hard-head.
ed, self-made man. That axiom has
set many men to saving. They nix
upon that sum as the glittering, far
off herald of fortune something to
be made. To man on small salary
"a salary, say, cut Of which some.
thing can be saved weekly without too
much deprivation-the advice is good.
There is something in it that acts as
stimulus to economy. And who
will deny that economy is good
thing or that any truth that lights
the way to it should not be known?
Many men, therefore, have been
buoyed up in their economies by the
belief that the first 81 200 is the hard
est to get, and that afterward all the
things of the world that follow boun-
teous supply Of money would be with
in easy reach, says writer in the
Denver Republican. 1t is a pity that
the man who invented that saying
could not also have told us with
equal advantage how to turn the 81 900
over and make two of it. 1t takes a
long time to make a wage-earner see
that money works" His idea of max
ing money is to work for it himself.
1t never occurs to him that money
works much easier than he can and
without any of the hardships he
until he has got the first $1,000.
That usually makes a young man feel
like financier, and he talks wisely

The Charming Woman.

Of all the women born into an un-
grateful and unappreciative world none
can compare to the really charming
one. We may admire the beauty and
gaze in awe at the bluestocking, hug
the dear things of our acquaintance"
and thump the good sort" on the
back, but in the presence of a person
atty which charms" US we remain
in speeches. and almost breathless
fascination. Truly of every such
woman can it be said which was said
by st. Simon of one OF the most fas.
cinating women of his time, that she
walks like a goddess on the clouds"

STYLES OF. 1900 YEARS AGO.
Tend to Prove There Is Nothing New
Under the Sun.

For women archaeology assumes a
deeply interesting phase in the ques-
ton which has been raised by Signor
Mosso as to styles in dress as they
existed 1000 years ago. Signor Mos
so, the eminent authority on ancient
Etruria, the Roman Forum, and early
Crete, has concentrated his great ex-
perience and knowledge on elucidat.
ing this bypath of science from his
Cretan studies. The general result
has been to confirm the old dictum
that there is nothing new under the
sun. Even the --latest fashions" are
antiquated. Signor Mosso finds that
1900 years ago the ladies Of primeval
Mycenae wore hats pretty much as
they are seen in the showrooms OF
Paris to-day. They knew what Grape
trimming was, had tartans before the
Scotch, understood the mysteries Of
corsets lacing in front, short wide
sleeves, metal belts, and style of
dress which an initiative nineteenth
century, that considered itself orig
inal, dubbed Empire" Their prin-
cipal colors in robes were orange,
yellow, blue and purple, which rather
upsets the claim of the Phoenicians to
have discovered" purple.
