Remarkable Popular Ignorance.

Some one has remarked that at
the height of Napoleon's fame there
were men in the back alleys of Paris
who had never heard his name. This
illustration of popular ignorance was
recalled by a judge who was examin-
ing candidates for citizenship in New
York city recently. He asked one Of
these prospective citizens, who is
the head of your native country"
THE king" "Who becomes the head
when he dies?" "His son." "And
who is the head of this country?"
The president" "And who would
become the head If he died?" "His
SON" And yet, as the judge remark
ed, all these men know enough to
earn their daily bread-the rest is a
matter of schooling.

MAKING MONEY WITH GAS
Up.to.Date Equipment Installed IN
New Melting House Of Brit
ish Mint.

Four tons Of gold will on an aver
age be melted down each working day
in the wonderful new melting house
now being completed for service next
year at the royal mint, near the Tow
er Of London.
The new melting house will be the
most complete in the world II IL
much larger than the existing one,
and Is to contain len furnaces; all
heated by gas. The present melting
house has only four such furnaces.
Gas furnaces alone are now used at
the royal mint for the melting down
of precious metal. coke furnaces hav-
ing been finally banished in March
last. No less an amount than ESQ.,
100000 worth of gold has been melted
down by gas since the special furnaces
were introduced.
Many experiments we're carried out
before gas was accepted as the best
medium for the melting. In connec-
ton with the tests Mr.. Rigg, the super
intendent of the operative department,
paid a number Of visits to factories
in London and the country and made
a tour in Canada and the United
States with the object of obtaining
evidence as to the value of gas as a
fuel. At length a special type Of fur
mace was designed by officials at the
mint, and a gas burner made by Mr.. s.
N. Brayshow, of Manchester, was
adopted.
Ordinary gas is taken from the
street main for the melting and mixed
with air from a powerful blowing en-
CINE. 1t is found that by the use Of
gas the crucibles for the gold last long
er than they did when coke was en-
ployed, each crucible enduring eight
cen heatings under gas as against
twelve under coke. In addition, the
cost is less, having been reduced from
I'd. to Sd. for each hundred weight Of
gold melted-London Mail.

of anything in this world. After one
Of the British campaigns in Egypt an
officer brought back as trophy such a
formidable weapon, which he hast
ened to submit to the late Mr.. Jack
Latham, head OF the Wilkinson Sword
company, in Pail Mall. saying that,
in his opinion, the thing belonged to
the first half Of the eleventh century.

nrIde,s Love Of a CLAY Plpe.

Rather than give up smoking her
cherished clay pipe an Irish bride
named Johanna Wood has left the
workhouse at Faversham, Kent. Her
husband, who was also an inmate Of
the workhouse, has left with her.
With a careless disregard Of the
fact that they were both practically
destitute, the man and the woman,
whose ages are respectively sixty-two
and forty-nine, were married on De-
cember II. The honeymoon was spent
at the workhouse.
"Mrs. Wood" stated one OF the
workhouse officials yesterday, seem
ed to find her greatest source of pleas
ure in tobacco. She smoked clay
pipe and would not have parted with
It for anything. On being taxed with
smoking in the workhouse she said:
4 cannot do without my pipe; ! have
smoked since / was a little girl She
was told that she must either give up
smoking or leave the workhouse. She
elected to take the latter coupse and
left with her husband. London Daily

ordinary thing for the daughter OF a

such a trousseau does not mean the
bride will get no more dresses for a
