Mow Kines Are Salted. The gullibility of persons whe buy mines has passed into a proverb. It is said that such properties have actually been salted with half melted silver dol lars .and sold to investors, who did not realize that the precious metal was not found in nature with ^the stamp of. the mint upon it. Undoubtedly tho most . scientific method of accomplishing this Bort of swindle is to apply the silver in the shape of a nitrate solution.

The other af ternoon, when the shadows werejgrowing longer in the streets and ' the dayiwas taking on a somber hue, a little group of politicians sat in the city . hall regaling:each other with | ye stories of ye oideu time. Among t-Lose reeled off was the following regarding an ex 'perieiace of Will hm H. Se ward, who was - then governor of the Empire State. It seems that while traveling around through the rural districts and making sure that his political fences had no very - hid breaks in them, he came one even ing to the humble abode of a farmer. It was too far from the town where be was stepping to go back that night, and so he asked permission to stop there. This was. cheerfully granted, and after partaking of an old fashioned country supper the old farmer invited, hi?, un known gnest to take a ride across the country, with him? fae having an errand to do in o neighboring village. With all the s mi vi ty for which Mr. Siward "wa? jn?tly famed. be accepted the invi tation. an<< as they drove along in the gathering twilight he entertained .the old farmer wi Ui.'nil manner of campaign firt*rqeocf? anit. stories. Tbe old farmer's natrve shrewdness caused him to wonder why ?be stranger should show ld m sn much attention, and at last he blurted or:t: "Say, bo ydn a Vok agent?" - *f]^.,that ? know of." was the gov ernor^ smiling rejoinder. ''Perhaps you're a lightning rod man, jhT you are wrong again." . ti TW? you're a sewinsr machine man." N?; "Well, then, by gosh, you must fae a politician.'* Mr. Seward at once acknowledged the soft impeachment, and then informed the inquisitive old fellow that be.'was the governor of the state of. New York. This quieted, the old fellow for awhile,1 ,bct At h ist he cool d hold in no longer, and he quietly infonnod Mr. Seward that he thought he. was a Lar. Mr. Seward, however, insisted on the truth of his story, and the dispute finally resulted in a wager of twenty dollars. The money was placed in an old lantern that wa? _ carried In the wagon to be used in eas? "of emergency, and it was agreed that the first-person they met was to. decide as to the J ownership of the money. Should he fail to recognize Mr. Seward as governor the former was to win, and vice versa. . The test soon came. Driving by the shop of a wayside blacksmith, the pro prietor himself stood in the doorway. Tue farmer stopped his wagon and Mr. Seward said: "My friend, my veracity has been questioned by the gentleman with me, and I should be pleased to have him con vinced, as. to who I am. Will yon be kind enough to tell him?" The man of brawn and muscle peered at Mr. Seward long and earnestly. Then turning to the fan uer he said, in awe struck tones: "He's all right, Bill! 1 know him! He's Thurlow . jfyeed, by goshl" -i The farmer took tha twenty dollars and Mr. Seward was poorer by that amount than when he started out.-Cht NcagoMail. ? CLUB FOR WORKERS NEW; YORK CLUB THAT IS Ll H EE . LONDON'S TOYNBEE HALL. I An Enthusiast lc and Willing Lawyer Haa 'Started a Work That Is Already Pro dMlng (?oilJ Iii suits - Workingmen Have Advitiitngeii of Beal Club Life. The neanvt Approach to a Toynbee Hal.' in Amonta is the East Side club, The ?rvement jriginated in the Church dut, Ml ?ganfcation consisting of about 400 representative Episcopalians. Instead of an Oxford tutor, a New .York lawyeivEverett P. Wheeler, con ceived thc idea of a hospitable home, with liberal minded-men in residence, where the workingmen of the east side might meet. Mr. Wheeler had just re turned from London when he read his paper to the Church club, showing the magnitude and magnificence of the work accomplished i% Whitechapel by university extension. The laymon were so very favorably impressed by the strength of the appeal and the earnestness of their asSociat that as individuals they agreed to giv? any project hs* might formulate their support. That was in March, 1801. In June Mr. Wheeler had rented an old frame dwelling house at the foot of East Seventy-sixth street, once the country residence of a promi neut New. York physician, to which he gave the name of the East Side club. His family had gone abroad, and when it was learned that Mr. Wheeler had closed his house at the corner of Seventy first street and Park avenue, and taken up his residence in the club for the sum mer, his friends in the Lawyers' club, the (?urch-*lub and society generally -yere amazed. From chance acquaint ances he made friends, and the few who were welcomed Ao the freedom of the turf and the cool shade about the house welcomed; others on their dwu-responsi bflitp. In this simple and cordial way tho men were drawn to .the East Side stab every evening, and (on Sundays they brought their children and their tanche* and newspapers and picnicked on the grass. Mr. Wheeler talked to the people. He bad every newcomer introduced to him, and he sat on "the grass with them; he smoked and.read with thom, and he not only got their ideas on political, social and industrial questions, but frankly gave his own. Some of these friendly discussions lasted a week, and; news of them drew new visitors. When one evening "the club gentleman," as he . was called, invited two men to dine with bim, his sincerity of purpose was estab lished, and since then the work has pros pered. Associated with Mr. Wheeler were the Eev. Mr. Theodore F. Bacon and Mr. L D. Hnghes. graduate and student of di vinity. Notwithstanding the religious tendency of these gentlemen and the I support of the Church club, the work was conducted on purely nonsectarian lines. Not a Scripture quotation was seen on the walls, and neither hymnal nor book of common prayer was visible, (The . old- fashioned dining room was converted into a billiard hall, and here the men smoke and chat, play billiards, chess and checkers, whenever they like. At a small expense the conservatory was converted into a gymnasium. On the same floor is' the lavatory and bath "Every day in the week from 9 a.m. until 10 p. m. the clubhouse is open and the attendance in the billiard room and gymnasium is greater Sunday than at any other time. ' When exception was I taken to this unusual plain bf operation Mr. Wheeler took th? ground that a gentleman might play a game of bil liards in his private club Sunday after noon if-the notion pleased him without exciting any comment among the mern bera. Granting this, privilege to a mer chant, banker or professional man, why should it be denied his truckman and clerks? It also occurred to him that a I game of-eards in a private club was not ' only lass baneful, but less expensive than ta a saloon or beer garden. Another innovation is a monthly dance to -which all the members are invited to bring their wives, sisters and friends. Good music is provided, simply printed dancing cards are distributed and in the middle of the programme hot chocolate and cake or corlee and sandwiches are served. The young clergyman is al ways present,.and no.group, however small, is unattended ta the club, and ta consequence noisy harangues, profanity and discord are unknown. Now there are five club residents-Mr. W. S. Brush, "also, a lawyer; Mr. Paul Reynolds," editor of a religious, paper, Mr. Willis B. Holcom, Mrs. Virginia Gookin, the kindergartner, and her little son. The janitor and his wife take care of the house and John Codet, aged sixteen, is custodian of the playgrounds. Dur ing the day Mrs. Gookin teaches all the children who come to the kindergarten, Last October an epidemic broke out and the school had to be closed Several deaths resulted from measles and fever. The work was resumed recently with a membership of fifty. At the start those toddlers had to be washed and scrubbed; I now they present themselves clean and tidy. , * Any self respecting man may become a member .of the club , by paying fifty cents a month. This fee entitles the member to all the privileges and advan tages of a social and f~ vndly organiza tion. It gives his children the freedom of the- playgrounds seven days ta the week and provides kindergarten train tag for them. It welcomes his wife to the mothers'meetings and the general entertainments, and it gives him the use of a gymnasium, library and reading room, and a cozy and beautiful place to spend his holidays. It brings him in contact with at least three sympathetic and influential men on whom he can de pend for many courtesies calulatedto relieve the'monotony and reduce the struggles for existence.-New York WorlJ._ At Both Bods. "By Jove," said the youngster, "Td like to have $100,000 to go into business with ta the proper shape." "Ugh," growled the veteran, "I'd like to have $100,000 to go out of business with ta the proper shape."-Detroit Free Press.

I was told a delightful story of one re sent action in which the Soudanese Toops took a prominent part. The en-. ? ;my was under coyer not far off, but ;he firing line of blacks were blazing iway at him as fast as they could open ind close their rifles. In vain their of- . icers tried to stop them. The waste of immunition threatened to become ex tremely serious, and their commanding jfficer, a Scotehmhn who had seen many ?ghta with them, losing his temper, rode ip and down behind the line cursing 1 ?hem with every abusive epithel; in a < fairly adequate vocabulary of Arabic in- 1 bective, but entirely without effect. At 1 last one-of them happened to tum and , iiscovered the beloved bey in evidently 1 i very excited state of mind. He at j mee rose, ran back to him, and patting ? him reassuringly on the boot he said: "Don't be frightened, bey. It's all , right. We're here. We'll take care of ' rou!" ? The Scotch bey, however, was equal | to the occasion. He rode out through i the lino, and walked his horse up and lown in fron* of the rifles. "Now," he ?id, "if you must fire, fire at me!" ' After this it is not surprising to read in lispatches that this officer has twice re jently had his horse shot under him.- i Contemporary Review. i . Jay Gould's Book. Occasionally some person knocks at ? the door of Jay Gould's office in the : Western Union building with a copy of i "The History of Delaware County, New York, by Jay Gould," to sell. An im pression exist?' in the minds of many people that Mr. Gould is desirous of suppressing this publication as com pletely as possible, and that he will pay almost any price to get possession of the few stray copies that are left. Resi liente of Delaware county are authority for the statement that several years ago m agent of Mr. Gould's scoured that 'i lounty for these books and bought near ly all of them at fancy prices. When Bver a copy of this particular history of Delaware county is displayed in that ?ounty at the present day the older resi ?ents will advise the owner, "Jist you take thet down ter .New York, an Jay Gould'll give yer tliirty or- forty dollars fer it." It is certain that nobody in Mr. Grould's office ever heard of his paying my such price for one of those books. A.nd nobody is able to explain why Mr. Grould should want to suppress the pul> lication, unless it is that he tbiuks-there Ts too much sentiment in it for a mau of bis present ? reputation. - New York Times. Thf Unreasoning Crowd. Speakin;; of thc queer things tobe seen jn the streets, it is really astonishing how iustinetively ono person imitates an other.

Going along about 3nsk the other nift'ht in advauce of a small party of folk, he suddenly turned jut into the muddy street, as if avoiding something in front. ' Unquestioningly every person behind did the same thing in spite of tho mire. It isn't likely that they felt the full humorous force of the incident in quite the way he did, however, when they saw bim face about and walk calmly back in the beaten path. The sheep went to all the trouble of jumping over a bar of inst, to be sure, hut it would really seem wofth while if human beings coull think a little more independently and for themselves. The truth of it is, it is just this blind unreasoning herding to gether that leads to half the accidents and panics which are cropping np on all sides.--Boston Transcript. . . Antidotes for Snake Poison. The effect of snakebite depends partly" on the condition of the snake and partly on that of the person bitten and the part attacked. Np effectual antidote has yet been discovered. Ammonia and per manganate of potassium will not suffice, although a solution of thejatter will take away the poisonous property of the snake's venom if it be mixed therewith. Immediate amputation of a bitten toe or finger is the best course, as the delay .f a few seconds may suffice to convey the poison into ibo patient's circulation. If from the nature of the partjritten amputation cannot be performed, a very tight ligature applied after cauterization ' and sucking the part is the best course, and the administration of stimulants is generally recommended.-Quai terly Re new. . Bice and Wheat at Weddings. Throwing rice and wheat at a wed ling is a relic of an old Roman custom, rod has probably been common in Eng land since Roman, times. Brand gives jeveral authorities for it. Friend refers to the case of the bride of Henry VII at Bristol in 1486, when wheat was thrown J pon her with the greeting, "Welcome rod good kick!" Ric?is used similarly at weddings in India, and the substitution of this grain for wheat in our own country of late rears may be partly due to that fact; but where wheat cannot readily be come it rice would naturally suggest itself as i substitute.-Notes and Queries.

One of our promiuent men who is noted for his urbanity and sasy way of dealing with "the boys,** bad a call a week or two ago from a local politician whose influence was more or less important in his ward.

Are the Styveinenta of the Head ?nd Face After Decapitation Involuntary or Are They Attended with Some Slight' Action of the Will-Some Experto <mt*. The question of the duration of >n- ! iciousness in the brain of criminals ? .er ( Bx?cntion by hanging br by the g-~l> tine is being discussed with greater in terest than ever since Anastay, the mur derer of Baroness Dell ard, paid his debt to society. It ia. said that this remarka ble criminal sent to his brother a letter an the subject as follows: The separation of my body and that which constitutes ray thinking being cannot so soon ho accomplished. I believe there is a survival sf a bon t an hour. Como, then. Leon, be pres ent at my execution and insist that my head he givon lo yon. Call me with your voice and my pye* will reply to you. This is bnt the repetition of a popular belief that has prevailed for centuries, There is a legend of a state execution in Euglaud at an epoch when the ax and Mock were in nse, which sets forth that after (the instrument had fallen the per son whose head was on the block ex claimed, "You have missed me!" to which the executioner replied wit?T a slight kick that sent the head rolling to a distance. The story never gained much, credence, bnt is still worthy of dise?a rion. Ita tmrh or falsity would depend Dn the possibility of the instrument being so thin and sharp that the walls of the veins would not be displaced, in which case the circulation of the blood might continue for a few seconds, and whether con^cionsness inigbt continue for a moment af I pr the vertebrae.of the neck was severed. This last difficulty would l>e the greatest, since ntter tin consciousness is supposed to besimul tancous with the severing of the spinal cord or the breaking of the neck. In any event, scientists who have taken tho trouble to 6tudy the fares of the guillo tined for a few seconds after %he fr.-ial stroke, or who have ma do experiments with decapitated animals, do not favor the theory. Several French physicians, and among them Dr. Paul Loye, now deceased, but ouce a professor at the Sorbonne, have experimented with dogs, using for their hanging or decapitation machinery like that employed in public executions, Tho dog was chosen for the ex p?riment? as having the most i bile face and being able to repro duce the movements which in rare cases have been observed in human subjects. Persons whom tins treatment of dumb animals might re volare lagged to remember that the suffering is much less than in vivisection, since these methods of execution are generally rec ognized as producing the least pain; Tho guillotine employed by Dr. Loye was similar to that used for the cxecu rion of ordinary criminals in France. It consisted of a triangular knife or ax, surmounted by a mass of lead weighing over twenty pounds and falling over six feet upon the heck of the animal, which was severed at the third verte bra. The phenomena qbserved were similar to those remarked by other French and by foreign savants whose experiments have been less elaborate. At the moment the li ead was detached from the body the mouth opened wide, as if the animal was making an extraor dinary effort at inhalation. Tie tongiie was applied to the lower part of th? mouth and underwent a brief period of agitation. The eyelids were closed with light contractions. Then the eyes were opened and rolled fronrside to side and top to bottom, tho pupila in the mean time gradually contracting. At_ihe. same time the jaws/Were opened' and violently closed, and the face was rapid ly convulsed. This was followed by changes at the corners of the mouth, vi bration of the nostrils, trembling bf the lips and erection of the ears. -The'en semble of these movements constituted a series of horrible grimaces like those seen on the face of the guillotined, and seemed to express the most intense ag ony If the cornea of the eye was touched the ej*elids closed, but if an ab ject, no matter of what kind, was placet" before the eye there was no movement Neither did crying nor whistling into the ears of the dog appear to cause the slightest sensation. The pinching of the tongue caused a slight shrinking of that organ. Although the pupil of the eye was contracted, the approach of a light rendered the orifice still smaller. These phenomena occupy abont ten seconds, and are followed by a period of repose continuing to '?be fifteenth or twentieth second, during which the month rest? closed and the eyes open and without movement. At the end of this time the mouth opens and closes quickly, the nostrils dilate and contract. During this time, although the irritation of the cornea has caused a slight wink ing, neither whistling in the ear nor touching the tongue or nostrils with am monia or cologne has been able to /pro duce any effect. The opening and clos ing of the mouth resemble yawning, and are reproduced a dozen times, after which the motions gradually cease. Then the cornea loses its sensibility t? the touch, though, half a minute having elapsed, the yawning is still active. The pupil of the eye dilates at the approach of light, but does not contract, and the cornea loses its glistening appearance. At the end of two minutes the yawning and other phenomena have ceased, end-1 ] mg in mere contraction of the fibers, and the head takes a coipselike look. San Francisco Chronicle.
