GOLD IN ANCIENT RIYER BEDS.
Notably on tho Slopes of tho Sierra
Navadaa.
For a number of years geolo-
gists have been investigating
the ancient river beds which oc-
cur so abundantly over the
slopes of the Sierra Nevadas
and are of much importance on
account of the auriferous ma-
terial contained in their gravels.
These ancient channels mark
the course of former rivers whose
•waters were deflected in the
lapse of time by alterations in
the level of the land, or by other
causes, dating back to Tertiary
times, a late period in geologic
history. During the time the
streams were in existence some
of the gold bearing rock of the
region was washed into, them
and carried along by their wa-
ters, and in the sand and grav-
‘ els of their beds portions of the
precious metal still remain. A
few months since W. Lindgren,
one of the geologists of
the United States Gelogical
Survey, made a careful re-
view of previous inv§stiga-
, tions of the ancient channels,
and visited many districts in
the northern and southern por-
tions of the gold belt.
, The information collected by
him will be compiled and later
issued as a monograph, to be
entitled “Neocene rivers of the
Sierra Nevadas.”

ADVISING AN ARTIST.
The Hovel 8o**eotlo» That Wes
Contrlbated by Uncle Sllaa.
Uncle Silas Eastman and his wile
took summer boarders. One year they
had a number of artists, who were at-
tracted by the picturesque loneliness
of the Eastman farm, and Uncle Silas
never hesitated to say afterward that
artists were “beyond him.”
“They make no trouble about their
eating,” he said to a friend when at
last the boarders had taken their way
to fresh fields. "Ybueouldfi’t call ’em
prompt, but then they never minded
whether things were hot or cool. least-
ways they never found any fault.
“But they’ve got curious notions and
mighty little faculty and common
sense. One of ’em was to work on a
sunset piece all the time he was hero.
I went out one evening and asked him
how he was getting ou, and ne says:
«‘Oh, Uncle Silas, the light changes
So fast,"and the effect is so Mrd to get,
and there’s ouly one night more.*
“He was a nice little fellow, and I
felt sorry for him, so I says: ‘Well, why
In tunket haven’t the rest of ’em took
hold with ye and helped ye out? There’s
room enough on that canvas for all
four of ye to be working together! I
bet ye never thought of asking ’em,
now did,ye?' I says.
“And do ye believe me, I’m as sure as
s,I’m standing here in my overshoes
from the blank look that spread over
11 his face that the idea had never come
P Into his poor, foolish head till I put It
there! . '1
* “They’ve got their place, artists have, *
but there’d ought to be a gardeen
’pointed over every one of ’em that I
ever saw! Yes, sirr-Youtb’s Com-

A Woman’s Kiss!
The story of Ingeborg Vindlng and
Poul Vendelbo Lovenoyn is well known
In Denmark. Poul Vendelbo, a poor
student, went one day on the ramparts
around Copenhagen and walked with
two rich noblemen who, like himself,
had matriculated at the university.
They happened to notice a singularly
beautiful woman sitting at the win-
dow of one of the adjacent houses.
One of the uobletnen then said half
mockingly to Vendelbo, “Now, If you
could get a kiss from that lady, Poul,
we would defray the expenses of that
tour abroad which you are so anxious
to make."
Vendelbo took him at bis word, went
HP to the beautiful lady and told her
how his whole future depended possi-
bly on her. She then drew him toward
the window and in the view of the no-
blemen gave him the kiss he craved.
He then went abroad and, returning
at last as Adjutant GeneraJ Lovenorn,
paid the fair lady a visit. She was
Ingeborg Vinding, and she had made n
clever man’s fortune by a kiss.
transforming Into a palace.” said a wo- '
man. “You see, I had acquired a mania,
for buying the insides of fine old
homes about to be torn down, and I
had filled my city apartment with all
that It would stand, besides putting a j
good deal In storage. Yet I kept ou
buying. One day I came across a well
built but plainly furnished bouse, ou
Staten Island which I could buy for a
•mall price. At once I bad visions of
that bouse as it would look trans-
formed by my fine old carved woods,
marbles, tiles and mirrors. Mentally I
did It up to such a degree of attractive-
ness that 1 Just had to purchase It The
results are justifying my expectations.
Every one who enters gives an excla-
mation of surprise and admiration, and
I'm not through yet The Interior finish
of my house cost originally tens of
thousands of dollars and came from all
parts of the globe. I got It for almost
nothing."—New York Press.

* HriplBf a Man to Solelde.
It Is remarkable how a suicide by a
certain method or tn a certain place
will lead to another of the same kind.
A surgeon of the Middlesex hospital,
in London, went Into a barber shop to
he shaved. The barber spoke of a man
who had been unsuccessful In an at-
tempt to kill himself by cutting bis
throat
“He eould easily have managed it,”
said the surgeon, “had be been ac-
quainted with the situation \ of the
carotid artery.”
“Where should he have cut?*’ asked
the. barber. The surgeon told him. He
at once left the room, and, not return-
ing as soon as was expected, the sur-
geon went to look for him and discov-
ered him In the yard with bis head
nearly severed from bis body.
Orts-tn ot ftllti.
It will doubtless surprise many
Scotchmen to learn that the kilt as at
present worn is only a modern fancy
costume and Is not of Scottish origin
ot all.
The honor of its invention Is due to
two Englishmen—an army tailor who
accompanied General Wade’s forces to
Scotland in 1719 and Thomas Rawlin-
son, overseer of some iron works in
Glengarry’s country. For more than
a century previously,, indeed, the tar-
tan plaid had been the common garb
of the highlanders, but it was all in
one piece, wound in folds around the
body, leaving tho knees bare.
Prior to the adoption of the tartan,
which probably took place about the
close of the fifteenth century, the long,
loose saffron colored skirt, the real
“garb of old Gaul,” was the highland
dress.—London Mali.
William Black’s Joke.
On one occasion when William Black,
the novelist, and his wife were to sup
with Mary Anderson In her room at
the Lyceum he got access beforehand
to the supper room, famous as the
meeting place of the old Beefsteak
club, and pasted over the labels of the
champagne bottles a paper bearing in
large letters the one word “Poison!”
It happened on this occasion that, un-
known to Black, Mary Anderson was
entertaining a. number of guests with
whom she was but slightly acquainted,
so that the Joke turned out to be some-
what embarrassing. It must have giv-
en the strangers, who knew Black only
by repute, something of a shock to dis-
cover how very boyish he was under
his cold outwnrd demeanor.

The Boston Bor.
“Lookin’ fer a bird’s nest, sonny?”
asked the good natured westerner of a
seven-year-old boy whom he met in
Boston common.
"No, sir.” replied the intellectual
prodigy as he continued to gaze np
into the tree. “I am merely endeavor-
ing to eorr.ectly classify this tree as a
botanical product.”—Ohio State Jour-
nal.
An Unexpected Benoit.
"Up in a little mining town in Penn-
sylvania,” said a Keystone state con-
gressman. “there was a political mass
meeting at which the principal speak-
ers w-ere a Democrat named Kennedy
and a Republican , spellbinder named
Plummer. It wfis arranged that Ken-
nedy should speak first. ‘At oue point
in my speech,’ Kennedy said to Plum-
mer, ‘I am going to say that before the
war I was a Whig, but then l became a
Democrat. I want you to ask me why
I did so. It will give me a fresh start,
and then I can talk for an hour.’
“At the proper moment Kennedy
made his statement, and Plummer,
who had gone down in the crowd, in-
terrupted him. ‘I want to know ’ he
said In a loud voice, ‘why you became
a Democrat?’
“At that moment a muAmlar ipiner
hit him a tremendous blow with his
fist. ‘I’ll show you,’ he Bald, ‘that you
can’t break up a Democratic speaker
here.’
“When the Republican orator came
to his senses, the meeting had ad-
journed.”
Maldas It Simple.
The scholarly looking man with the
big eyeglasses had been Invited to ad-
dress the Sunday school and was mak-
ing a fpw remarks concerning the les-
son.
“I see the word ‘line’ occurs here,” he
said. "Will some one give me a defini-
tion of ‘liner ”
Nobody answered.
“It is very easy,” be proceeded en-
couragingly, “though you may find It a
little perplexing to convey the Idea in
simple terms. Try again. _WeIl, the
ordinary signification of the word is
longitudinal extension, but here It de-
notes a predetermined boundary. I am
sure, my young friends, you can re-
| member that”—Chicago Tribune.
