PICK UP GOLD IN STREETS On the Gold Coast of Africa It Can Be Done, Though Hardly Worth While. It Ib said that at Axlm, on tho Gold Coast of Africa, gold may actually bo picked up In tho BtrcotB. When ono visitor, nn Englishman, took tho state ment as a moro flguro of Bpoech, his host Immediately bado a woman Berv nnt go out Into tho main Btroot, gather n bucketful of road scrapings and wdtk it for gold dust. , In ten minutes tho servant returned with two galvanized Iron buckets, ono filled with road Bcraplnga nnd tho oth er with wator. Sho alBO brought three or four wooden plattors, varying In slzo from a largo plato to a saucor. Removing several handfuls of tho road scrapings nnd placing them In tho largo platter, tho woman picked out and throw asldo tho largo stones, peb bles and bits of stick and then molB toned tho romalndor with wator from tho other bucket. Thlfl enabled her to romovo smaller rofuso. Tho residuum sho put Into tho next smaller platter, and Blia repeated tho process until thoro was a quantity of Band nnd gravel ready for treatment. This sho sprinkled freely with water, and, by a deft circular movement of tne plattor, brought tho small gravol ' to tho outsldo, whero It could bo thrust over tho odgo. Whon sho had repeat ed this operation throo or four times sho treated tho material, which now looked moro llko mud than anything olso, In n still smallor plattor. At last, In tho smallest plattor of all, sho had tho bucketful of swoop IngB reduced to a handful or two of Blftod sand. This Bho carofully washed and sifted. At last, with a doxtorous twist, sho brought tho sand Into a crescent, tho outer odgo of which ghowed a thin rim of yollow. It was unmistakably gold dust. Tho wholo operation had taken half an hour, and It had produced about a shilling's worth of gold. VARIOUS EDITIONS OF BIBLE After the Geneva Version, Authorities of the Anglican Church Prepared n Revised Translation. Tho first printed edition of tho popu lar and slnco froquontly prlntod Oonova version of tho BIblo nppoarod In Scotland in 15C0, bolng commonly termed tho "Brooches" BIblo. Bocauflo Df tho Puritanic and Calvlnlstic tone of tho text and marginal notes, this edition was not favorably regard ed by tho authorities of tho Anglican church. A rovlaod translation was Ihoroforo prepared by Matthow Park sr, nrchblshop of Canterbury, nldod by eight bishops and tho first scholars of that ago. This edition, printed in blnck letter by Richard Juggo, wns Issued bb a stately folio In 1CC8, and Is known as tho "BIbIiopb' BIblo." It la laid to bo tho most sumptuous of tho long scries of English folio Blbloa. A second edition in quarto nppoarod In 15C0; nnd a socond folio in 1572, also contained two versions of tho Psaltor, 9110 In black lettor bolng that of tho "Great BIblo," tho other In Roman lot tor bolng that of tho "Bishops." Tho Now Testament contalnod a numbor Df pictorial initials takon from an edi tion of Ovid's "MotnmorphosoB," in cluding ono roprosontlng Loda and tho wan. Purity of Eggs, Tho fooling genorally prevails that ono egg is ub wholesome and as clean rb another. Wo may frot and worry about tho possible gorniB that como to ub in tho Ico. Wo proporly tako no end of precautions In favor of n puro milk supply. Wo Insist on wrapped broad and gormloBS oystors and n dozon other kinds of puro food. But wo trust tho hen. Few of us ovor roalizo that any germ or uncleanll noss can ponotruto tho Bmooth sur face of tho ogg shells. But that opinion lust shows that wo do not know it all whon it coinos to tho puro food proposition. Tho vory fact that oggs grow "stale" 1b proof enough that trouble dooa penotrato tho shell. For this Btaloness is pro duced by tho proHonpo of micro-organisms, which in growing produce pois onous products productlvo of ptomnlno poisoning. So, too, eggs laid by hens not by glonlcally cared for may bo carrlors of imcleunllnoHB. To lnsuro tho per foctly clean egg tho hen must havo clean nests, clean runs and an abun dance of clean, puro wator. Our Predicament. "Cooflo, ceaso your pothorl" wo Btornly commanded tho disputants. "Why wasto tho goldon hourB In wrangling which 1b destined to bo as fruitless as climbing plno trees in pursuit of pineapples? Though you arguo until tho crack of doom splits wldo opon, you cannot ehango tho fnotB ono Jit or tottlo wo moun, ono lot or Jlttlo that Is, tit or lottlo er-or lit or jottto h'ml h'nit JU or little ar-aht " "That, Is tho first tlmo," obaorvod ono of tho men upon whom wo woro ondeavorlng to bestow n groat truth, "that I over had tho pleasure of Boo ing a person Btuttorlng In hla brains." Kansas City Star, A Handlcan. "When I wna a youth I waB hold un .as a shining oxamplo for all tho othor jaas in tno neighborhood," romarkod the melancholy man. "Oh, yoa. But you havo no Idea what a quantity ot wild oats I had to sow beforo I convinced myself that I was a regular follpw." Buenos Aires. No building In Buonos Aires ta per mitted to bo higher than tho width of tho street upon which It is erected, henco tho skyscraper will never be come popular thoro, desplto tho splen did growth and wldeawakenoss of tho city. Much as this metropolis id known, it is not genorally thought of In tho light of ago. Howover, It Ib ono of tho oldest cities In tho now world. Tho first whlto settlement was mado Just 42 years after tho discovery of America by Columbus, and tho first buildings wero mud huts thatched with straw. Then a brick kiln was mado and later tllea and bricks wero Import ed from Spain. Tho flrBt city was of Spanish archltocturo, and that stylo provatlcd for moro than 3TiO years, Desplto tho many great changes which havo como through the passago of tlmo and tho genornl building ndvanco In tho world, four-fifths of tho houses of Buenos Aires aro still of one story, al though there are streets lined with six-story palaces. Had No Faith In Lawyers. "Do I bollovo In lawyers?" said tho. littlo man, bitterly. "No, sir; I do not" "Why not?" asked his compan ion. "Because a lawyer never says right out what ho means," retorted tho small man, viciously. "Ho twists things about so. Supposo ho wanted to toll you that two and two mako four, ho'd begin: 'If by that particu lar arithmetical rulo known ns addi tion wo dcfllro to arrivo at tho sum of two addod to two, wo should find and I aay this boldly, without fear of contradiction I ropoat, wo should find by that particular arithmetical formula horolnbofQ.ro mentioned and, sir, I tako all responsibility for tho Btatoment I am about to mako that the Bum of tho two given added to tho other two would bo four.' No, sir," finished tho littlo man, coldly; "I do not bollovo In lawyers." The Main Question. A man wns arrested on tho charge ot robbing another of his watch and chain, says tho Philadelphia Public Ledger. It was said that ho had thrown a bag ovor his victim's head, strangled and robbed him. Thero waa so littlo ovidenco, however, .that tho Judgo quickly said: "Discharged I" Tho prlsonor stood still in tho dock, amazed at bolng given his freedom bo soon. "You're discharged," repeated tho judgo. "You can go. You aro froo." Still no word from tho pris oner, who stood staring at tho Judgo. "Don't you understand? You havo boon acquitted. Got out!" Bhoutod tho Judgo. "Well," stammered tho man, ' do I havo to glvo him back his watch and chain?" Needed the Hammer. A gunnor of tho Garrison artillery, who hud successfully passod an armor er's course, was at homo on furlough, wearing tho usual decoration of tho hammor and pincers on his right sloovo, when ho was accosted by a civilian, who asked what tho decora tion signified. "Oh," replied Tommy, humorously, "I'm a qualified army den tist." "I sco," said tho civilian. "Of course, tho plncors nro for extracting teeth; but what is tho idea of a ham mer?" "Well, you soo," rojolncd tho soldier, "somo ot tho chaps nro a bit nervous, and aro afraid to tako chloro form, bo as a substitute wo uso tho hammor to knock them unconscious with." And Then Sho Smiled. Tho now member of congress was enjoying tho hospitality of ono of tho most amlablo and attractlvo womon of tho capital, and was doing admirably until Bho led him Into troublo with tho romark: "I am afraid you find Wash ington rather dull at present. Thero Is vory littlo oxcltomont, excepting what you find In tho wny of duty at tho capltol." "It is rather monotonous," ho assorted. "No doubt you hnvo an occasional mnuvals quart d'heuro?" "No," ho replied; nnd then leaning ovor confidentially: "I haven't tasted anything stronger than tea In a year." Safety First Ono evening, in tho card room of a cortaln club, a man was caught cheat ing and exposed beforo tho wholo compnny, whereupon tho indignant mombors roso In a body nnd kicked him from tho top ot tho stairs to tho bottom. Rising painfully, and full of wrath, ho hobbled away to tho real donco of tho prosldont of the club, nnd thero complained of tho trcntmont ho had recolved. "What would you do In my placo?" ho asked. "Well," said tho prosldont, "I Bhould play on tho ground floor In futuro It's safer." What Interested Him. Undo Ben Barnstraw's city nephew took him Into a llro station ono night Just In tlmo to boo tho flro laddies shinning llko squirrels down a polo from their quarters ovorhoad. "Como on, uncle, wo'll go to tho flro," tho nophow suggested. "I don't want to go," replied tho undo. "I want to stay horo until thoy como back, bo I can boo them scoot back up tho polo again." Judgo. All tho 8ame. Son was reading tho financial pago and turned to lnqulro: "What Is tho difference botwoon a call loan and a tlmo loan?" "Generally apoakiug," Batd Dad, "thero Ib no difference at all. Beforo you can got a fellow to repay a call loan, you havo to call and call again and If It's a tlmo loan, you havo to call tlmo and tlmo again." SOME CREDIT DUE TO HARRY Recovery of Neodcc Money Could Not Be Called Altogether an Act of Providence. Throo or four years beforo ho waa married ho had, In a reckless moment, loaned to a good friend tho trifling sum of $100. A yr.ar lator he had bo gun to throw out gentlo hints that ho know of a good dlvldond-paylng stock ho could buy for $100 a share. But Good Frlond didn't como across. Whon ho was about to buy furnlturo for his new homo ho plainly told Good Frlond ho needed tho coin, but that Individual changed tho subject. After hp had settled down to tho hum-drutn of mar ried llfo ho and his wlfo often would speak of tho many nlco things they could buy with that $100. Sho was a firm bollovor In Provl donco, he was somowhat Infirm. One day ho lost his Job, nnd tho weeks wont by, and ho didn't find another. Then hla wife took sick; hor mother camo to llvo with them thlnga went from b. to w., generally, and ho talked ot shooting himself. Ills wlfo told him to cheer up, to be bravo, and not to despair tho Lord would provide for them. Trust in Providence, sho said. And tho vory next day, after that littlo sormon, a letter camo to him, with a check for $100 enclosed. "Didn't I toll you?" aho cried. "Didn't I toll you7 It's tho hand ot Providence, Harry, nothing else!" "Then I'm Provldonco," ho said, "for I wroto Bill a letter 'tother day and told him If ho didn't come up I'd come down and tnko that hundred out of his hldo, with compound interest, oven It I went to tho pen for It I" LEADS ALL INCARPET MAKING In Volume of Production Philadelphia Is Easily the First City In the World. Moro than a third of all American carpets aro woven In Philadelphia, which, it la claimed, leadB any other city In tho world In tho volume of pro duction. Wilton, in England, has given its name to one of tho most widoly known nnd useful rugs in tho world, but now tho "Wilton rug-produc ing center of tho world Is In Phila delphia. Axmlnator, too, gavo Its namo to a carpet, but it long ago ceased to produco any of it. Brussels like wise is known all over tho earth for its carpets, but Brussels does not be gin to produco tho carpets and rugs which nro turned out In Philadelphia. Philadelphia enterprlso embarked in tho carpet business while Washing ton was president of tho United States, but it was not until moro than half a century lator that Penn sylvania led all tho states in carpet production. As early as 1791 thoro was a factory In Philadelphia engaged In tho manufacture of Axmlnster and Turkoy carpets. China and Russia send to Philadelphia most of tho long, coarso wool used in tho manufacture ot tho finest Wiltons. In a 8mall Room. Whon a bedroom or small dressing room Is papored with anything but a plain or neutral paper, bright-colored or flowered chintz should never be used, but often a little color Is needed to add tone to tho room. In a case of this kind ono of tho now bedspreads which aro so pretty and easily mado is Just tho thing to glvo tho neces sary color. Select a plain, white spread ot good quality and rather heavy. Cut from chintz a bunch of roses or a spray of gay-colored flowers, and basto ono in each corner, with a larg er ono for tho center. Sow to tho spread nnd finish tho raw edgeB with a flno feathor atltxh or with a long and short buttonhole stitch. This Idea can bo carried out for Bcarfs to cover tho dressing table and buroau. Mako tho scarf of linen cut to fit tho top of each and finish tho edges with a scallop or a hem and finish this with tho stitch that was used on tho spread. Cut out tho flow- era and applique to tho edges ot tho scarf. Bunches of tho same flowers can bo added to tho corners of the whlto curtains with good offoct. The Egotist. It Is only a narrow mind which ro fusoB to listen to roasonablo argu ment. Tho broad mind is always open to conviction. This Is a well-known fact, nnd yet every ono of us numbers among his acquaintances at least halt a dozen "cocksuro" persons. Thla trait of bolng too positive la sufllciont ly unpleasant In a man, but It is infi nitely worso In a girl. In tho first placo, It Is Incompatible with tho gen tlonoss ot real fomlninlty; in tho sec ond, it is irritating and annoying to frionds and acquaintances, and In tho third, It is an indication of a narrow mind, which Bhould In itsolf bo sufll ciont to keep any girl from cultivat ing thlB trait.
