dining salon. In the living room" one

Charcoal Burners
Find Gold in Mounds.

exempliflcations of recent years, in our
own country, but dispatch from Ma
drid announces a revival Of the strange
events which formerly were associated
with the experiences Of those engaged
In this prosaic and generally unremu-
lucrative occupation. It seems that some
charcoal burners in Spain recently built
their mounds, and charred the hard
wood contained therein, after the usual
manner. Returning after several days
to gather up the fruits Of their labors,
they found a glittering residue beneath
the charcoal piles, which challenged q
closer inspection. 1t was gold-pure

ashes on the ground. Needless to say,
they cleaned carefully every unusual

and carried the accumulation to the
city. Appraised at the mint in Madrid
the treasure was found to weigh A
pounds and to be worth $8,743. 1t is
unnecessary to add that there have
been a large number of recruits to the
ranks Of Spanish charcoal burners.

Far.called, our vain possessions fee:
The hall that graced an English shire
IS now transhipped to Tennessee
For coal-black mammies to admire;
We note its absence with regret;
fOVOef loct Up FORGET
The treasured script takes wings and
flies,
The first editions al depart;
There is no thing that man can prize,
From manor house to works of art,
That doth not rise and float away
To u. S. A, to U. s. A.
The buyer comes and states his need,
The buyer waves his wad-and, 10!
Recessionals themselves recede
To where all other trophies gol
These also leave for U. S. A..
Without delay, without delay
with books and pictures all Withdrawn,
The very stones shall come unstuck
Undoubtedly day shall dawn
When all must take, with any luck,
The primrose cor the dollar) way
To U. S. A., to U. S. A.
When Hampton Court shall hear the

The Marble Arch and Albert Hall,
The Old Kent Road and Waterloo
Believe me, 1t is safe to bet,
They'll have them yet, they'll have
them yet!
