Bis Whirlwind of Speculation In the
Mlnlns Rcelonn
In 1853 a little party of gold seekers
with a meager otftflt of horses and
wagons started for California from the
Tillage of Racine Wis In command
of this adventurous expedition was a
young man who took with him his wlfo
and Infant daughter His name was
E J Baldwin and he made a wise
choice in shaking from his restless feet
the dust of a tamer civilization He
needed aarger theater of action for his
pent up and surging activities While
trailing through the mountains of Utah
the pioneers were attacked by Indians
who were beaten off during a six hour
tight in which young Baldwin killed
their chief After six months of hard
ship the party reached Hangtown later
called Placervllle In California
Here Baldwin tarried and began
placer mining He appears to have
been no more than an ordinary red
shirted argonaut meeting the ups and
downs of mining luck until the dis
covery of the Comstock lode at Virgin
la City Thither he drifted and discov
ered that his natural bent was gam
bling with the mines that other men
bad opened Amid a whirlwind of
speculation he fought his way with
such success that be loomed from the
smoke in a few months as Lucky
Baldwin the man who had cleaned up
7500000 In the gigantic deals In the
stock of the Ophir mines
San Francisco was the Mecca of
those lucky sons of fortune who were
rearing a great city by the Golden
Gate As a stock and mining specula
tor Lucky Baldwin shone respon
dent but he was also a loyal son of
San Francisco He built hotels and
theaters and business blocks even
while he was amazing that far from
conservative community by madly
freakish extravagances
In a very lucid interval he bought all
the Spanish grants he could find near
Los Angeles and there spent a million
in making this ranch of his not only a
splendidly productive property but al
so one of the most beautiful estates
ever laid out in this or any other coun
try It was his hobby his pet and he
planted miles of avenues with noble
shade trees and made wonderful trop
ical gardens surrounding his home by
a paradise of vernal beauty Ralph D

TELL IT TO THE MARINES
Pepys Version of the Origin of tiie
Expression By Charles II
The saying Tell it to the marines
is traced to Pepys the author of the
famous Diary and it is said by him
to have originated with Charles II of
England It so befell as the story
goes that his light hearted majesty
with an exceedingly bored expression
on his swarthy face was strolling in
the shade with the ingenious Mr
Pepys secretary to the admiralty I
had speech yesteren at Deptford said
Mr Pepys with the captain of the
Defryance who hath lately returned
from the Indies and who told me the
two most wonderful things that ever
I think I did hear in my life Among
the stories told were of fish flying in
the air Fish flying in the air ex
claimed his majesty Ha ha A quaint
conceit which twere too good to spoil
wi keeping What ho sir he turned
and beckoned the colonel Sir William
Killigrew of the newly raised mari
time regiment of foot who was fol
lowing in close conversation with the
Duke of York we would discourse
with you on a matter touching your
own element What say you colonel
to a man who swears he hath seen
fishes to fly in the air
I should say sire returned the
sea soldier simply that the man hath
sailed in southern seas for when your
majestys business carried me thither
of late I did frequently observe more
flying fiish in one hour than the hairs
of my head in number
Old Rowley glanced narrowly at the
colonels frank weather beaten face
Then with a laugh he turned to the
secretary
Mr Pepys said he from the very
nature of their calling no class of our
subjects can have so wide a knowledge
of seas and lands as the officers and
men of our loyal maritime regiment
Henceforth ere ever we cast doubts
upon a tale that lacketh likelihood we
will first tell it to the marines

Weight of n Piece of Ice
A rough and ready method of cal
culating thd weight of a piece of ice
is afforded by the fact that a cubic
foot of this substance weighs approxi
mately 5723 pounds First measure
the breadth length and height of the
cake and the three results being mul
tiplied will give the number of cubic
inches If this answer bo in turn
multiplied by 033 the approximate
number of pounds will result For
instance a cake 8 by 9 by 10 inches
contains 720 cubic inches This multi
plied by 033 gives 23 pounds the
correct weight of such a piece of ice

Stammer to Youelf
To the many correspondents who
have written Inquiries and suggestions
as to a cure for stammering we may
state that this Is not a medical bu
reau This writer gave his own meth
od of curing his own particular nerv
ous disorder which Is probably
shared by many of his fellow men Let
It be repeated In answer to many who
seem to have seen the problem and
missed the solution Consume your
own smoke If you must stammer try
to stammer to yourself When you
have tut tutted and gur gurred suffi
ciently to yourself you will be ready
with the word It is quite astonishing
how soon the Inaudible stammer be
comes unnecessary and the word Is
whipped out But there are some men
who hug a stammer stammering al
ways In the right place lifting curi
osity to tiptoe In the listener Charles
Lamb stammered but always In tho
right place as when he went to buy
cheese the story may be quite untrue
The shopman offered to send It home
Lamb Inspected It Then he asked for
a bit of string I think he said I
could It home London
Spectator
Not a Clothes Pes
Peggie Newton had been a faithful
household drudge for years and had
not grumbled much when her wages
were occasionally passed over But as
time went on and her salary fell more
and more into arrear she ventured to
ask for something on account
Why havent I paid you your wages
lately Peg How careless of me
her mistress said Im sorry I have
no money in the house just now but
heres a smart cloak that Ive ceased to
wear and which Is only a wee bit out
of fashion Youll take It In lieu of
wages wont you
No maam Im sure I shant said
Peg wrathfully eying the faded old
cloak A peg I may be by name but
I wont be the sort of peg that people
hang castoff clothes on not if I know

The following passage is from the
Adventurer No 35 March 6 1753
On Sunday last a terrible fire broke
out at Lady Brags occasioned by the
following accident Mrs Overall tho
housekeeper having lost three rubbers
at whist running without holding a
swabber notwithstanding she had
changed chairs f urzed the cards and or
dered Jemmy the footboy to sit cross
legged for good luck grew out of all
patience and taking up the devils
books as she called them flung them
Into the fire and the flames spread to
the stewards room
Swabbers are the ace of hearts the
knave of clubs and the ace and the
deuce of trumps at whist To furz or
fuzz Is to shuffle the cards very care
fully or to change the pack London
Notes and Queries
Why Rain Clouds Are Black
The color of a cloud depends on the
manner in which the sunlight falls upon
it and the position of the observer It
will be noticed that high clouds are al
ways white or light in color and this
is because the light by which they are
seen is reflected from the under surface
by the numberless drops of moisture
which go to form the cloud Heavy
rain clouds on the other hand are
found much nearer the earth and so
the light falls on them more directly
from above giving a silver lining to the
cloud though the undersurface ap
pears black owing to the complete re
flection and absorption of the light by
the upper layers Seen from above by
an observer in a balloon the blackest
rain clouds appear of the most dazzling
ly brilliant white
Tennis and Lavrn Tennis
There are thousands who imagine
that tennis and lawn tennis are identi
cal In America tennis the mother
game is always known as court ten
nis whereas lawn tennis Is gener
ally known as tennis The games
are In many respects very dif
ferent The court which in lawn
tennis is open in tennis Is closed
at the back and sides by the walls and
almost invariably above by a roof
There is a considerable amount of play
off the back and side walls The balls
are harder than lawn tennis balls be
ing in fact of the consistency of
cricket balls Hence the rackets are
heavier and the gut is thicker Frys

Songs and Sentiment
It is a singular fact that in propor

Remarkable instances of this are to be
found In the United Kingdom In
Scotland Ireland and Wales countries
rich in national songs the emotional
nature is strong In England where
the melodies if sweet at any rate are
not so touching and appealing senti
ment is slight Liverpool Courier
