ST. LOUIS GOLD MINE.
Traces of the Metal Once Found With
IN the City limits.


IN the City Limits.
st. Louis has never been known as
gold mining center, but there was once
a gold mine within the limits Of the
city, and, what is more, it yielded gold,
which is more than a great many gold
mines in the Rockies have done.
In the SIXTIES of the last century
there Nas q ,sels dug on a hill just
east OF Carondelet park, and the we'll
diggers, noticing some bright, SPAR
king yellow particles in the clay at
the bottom, did a little washing or.
their own account and found several
grains of gold in the pan. The news
soon got abroad, and two examiners
from the west who were living in the
neighborhood quickly got the idea that
there was money to be made in st.
Louis gold mining, SO they sank shaft
not far from the well, fully expecting
rich returns from their work. They
did actually find gold, but in quaint
ties SO small that they estimated a
yield of about Is cents per ton of clay,
SO they filed up the hole and gave up
the undertaking in that place as a bad
job.
But they had all the miners enthu-
siasm, and the fact that they found
gold at all merely stimulated their zeal
to try in another place. so they went
to the side of hill where the Glaize
creek had washed away the earth and
made clay precipice. They dug hole
there, where they also found traces Of
the precious metal, but in no greater
quantities than before. Then they went
up the creek about quarter of a mile
and sank another shaft, with no better
result. They spent the whole spring
and summer digging holes around in
the neighborhood of the park, but the
only benefit they realized from their
work was the sobriquet 1.-TWO luna.
TICS" and people laughed at them so
much that both left and went back
west, where digging holes in the search
for gold was taken more seriously than

Jacks Lucky Bao,

The annual publication Of the bri-

by the name Of 1.-The Lucky Bag" even
as that of the corps of cadets at West
Point bears the military appellation of
"The Howitzer." On board ship is
kept what is called a lucky bag. Into
this are put all sorts Of articles that
are left around the decks or out of
their proper places by the men. At
the end Of each month the lucky bag is
opened, and the men who have lost
different articles gather around it in
the hope that they have been lucky
enough to have had their possessions
find their way into the lucky bag. At
the end of the month the bag generally
is filed with a great variety of articles.
In it are jackknives. pairs of shoes.
plugs Of chewing tobacco. sewing kits,
caps, photographs. writing materials.

THE WORLD OF HOMER.
Ancient Idea Of the Earth and Its Mar
gin of Water

gin OF water.
Let us consider for one moment what
the idea of the world was-not. indeed,
at the earliest period of when we
have any knowledge, but at the dawn
OF written history or of written history
among that Indo-Germanic people
Z whose descendants have overspread so
muck of the earth. The world Of Ho-
mer was small. fiat surface. in which
civilization was fhemmed in by foreign
races, who again were surrounded by
a great ocean or river over which no
man had ever passed. The world Of
which Homer had any definite notion
was Greece-a Greece which hardly
leXtended as far as the Balkans on the
north and which scarcely included the
! Leyant and the islands in the Aegean
sea. No doubt he had some general ac-
4uaintance with a world beyond these
narrow limits. He knew, at any rate,
some Of the leading features of north
ern Africa. He had heard. as was only
natural, of Egypt. whose civilization
had made such marked advances and
was exercising so much influence He
had some knowledge of the great river
on whose recurring floods Egypt de-
ponds for her prosperity. He had even
heard Of the pygmies and of the Ethio-
plans who dwelt higher up it's stream.
Some reports had reached him of
southern Italy. But it is hopeless to
attempt to fit the geography of Homer
to the actual facts. IT a man were to
search today for the precise spot on
which Captain Lemuel CULVER was
wrecked in the first of his famous voy-
ages he would find that the Lilliput of
Swift was in the heart of Australia,
and much in the same way. to quote
Mr.. Gladstone's language. 1.-The key to
the great contrast between the outer
geography (of Homer) and the facts of
nature lies in the belief of Homer that
great sea occupied the space where
we know the heart of the European
continent to lie''
1t is another indication of the small
ness of Homer's world that the ten
years war. Of which he has given us
the concluding episode, was not, as
even Herodotus has described it, one
Of the opening chapters of the great
struggle which has endured throughout
historic times between east and west.
but contest between men of common
origin. 1t is not a mere poetical IL
cense which makes Greeks and Ro-
mans address one another in the same
language. Yet the world of Homer,
small as it seems to us. seemed large
to him. Compared with the mighty
oceans which men now traverse the
Mediterranean is but a little !andlocked
sea. The Mediterranean of the '.Iliad"
was only the Aegean. yet for Homer it
had terr0rs which the Atlantic has not
for us.-Sir Spencer .Walpole in Con-
temporary Review
