Then Julia scrutinised the boot on the well foot, and soorn and, disgust were the result.. ?Yes, I know they are shabby. I wore them out in Munson going to the pdst office so muoh.

Of one oase he says: The most singular find of this sort ooming to my own knowledge waa that of two balf-oreeda who had been hunting buffalo in the winter. They had wandered far out upon the plains in seatoh of g?mo, and being laden heavily with meat and hides, night overtook them before they were able to regain the shelter of the Umber. To proteot themaelvet from the oold they lay down in the snow side by side, and wrapped a fresh buffalo hide tightly abopt them, with the green or fleeby S3e out While they slept, the over pping sidea and ends of the hide froso feik and ? imprisoned them like a vise. Tightly wrapped, a* they were, thejr could not extrioate themselves, and so died of starvation.

Not a great while since a prominent pbysioian of .Denver, Colorado, was called to attend a patient in the last stages oi what appeared to be oonsump tion, bnt whioh, npon examination, f>roved to be simply a wearing away of ife?a dooay of the energies of mind and body. Although well supplied with money, the stranger was seemingly without friends or relatives. He wrote no letters and reoeived none. An alien to the tenderness and charities which sanctify the affcotiqns, he seemed to be* drifting out-of tho world, In -wlaJah, for him, all the flowers 0f tho heart {tad poriehed?a blpak and desolate old man, hastening out *of^tho sunshine into the' winter of tho grave. After making % thorough examination of the caso, the. dootor told him that although ho. oould find no organized disease, jet he was a7$S, cnon it,' replied tho patient. 'But have you no idea of what brought yon to this plight?' inquired the inter ested man of Boionco. ~ , 'It is a ourious phenomena.

J And that other ?' ?Was my son.' ? 'What was the nature of the orime ?' The physioian's ouriesity had got the better of his prndenoe. The shadows of twilight were falling around them.? Through the open window streamed the soft brilliance of tho dying day. Olouds of amethyst and purple floated lazily on thefar-on hills. But in the ohamber where the fevorod breath was drawn quick and short, there was a hushed stillness which seemed in keeping with ghostly shadows. ?It was murder F ?And was fixed on you ?' 'On me?I assumed it, aud then es caped?but not to evade the vengeanoe of the law, but to spare him I loved the stigma of a felon's death.' 'How long ago was this ?' ?Twelve years.' . 'And you have been a wandaror ever sinoe?' ?Ever since.' The feeble pulse was fluttering?the glazing eyos sheathed under waxen lids, and the shattered form wob growing rigid momentarily, ?Will you tell me no more?' whis pered tho physician. ?It is all I have to tell.' The next instant the man was dead. He had kept his secret, and sacriflc u" . ; j Handling Gol&iiUtatMiiit. ^ T There -Was ft ntir in the weight room o! the Philadelphia mint. A drayman car ried in his pinowy arms a small banded and riveted "wooden box. Everybody in the room Boomed to know what this meant The box was about a foot long and hall a foot wide. Following the drayman oame a yonng man with an un signed roceipt in one hand. The box was placed on a stout table and the em ployees began to bnstlo about and get the scales in order. ?There's some gold now,' said tho po lite official, 'dust or bars. We'll see presently.' A hatohet was brought, the iron bands were out and the box split open. 'I believe it's a single brick,' said one of the men. It was a single brick, and there was a little outburst of surprise among every body at its enormous si&e. ?What's it's value?' asked one. _ ?Twenty-three thousand three hun dred and five dollars and sevonty-one oents,' said another. Buro enough there was the valne stamped upon it. This briok was reoeived from Colora do by a great sugar-refining firm a few honrs before, from a customer in the fur West, in payment of a bill. After its value has been ascertained the mint will pay the firm, if they desire, in gold ooin. Payments are often made in this man ner by business men both in the Sciuth and West-. Boxes of gold dust frequent ly come from Georgia and Horl'u Caroli na from business men living adjaoent to tho gold mining*regions of those States to wholesale firms in the North in lien of money. More oomea to the mint from the South in this way than from the West. The bulk of gold in the West go-hi to the mint in San Franoisoo. Simultaneously with the arrival of the gold briok oame a package of gold dust <?ft rusty, yellow looking lot of stuff whioh ooula have been easily held in the hollows of both hands. It was weighed as the gold briok was, and the neoossa ry entries made. The little bit of dust whioh oould easily havo been oontained in the hol lows of both hands waa worth ovor a hundred dollars.
