An Ockl Nugget of Gold. There have been many large and oddly shaped gold nuggets found in the United States and elsewhere, but the oddest of them all was that dis covered at the Mid has mine, on Sulky gully, near Melbourne. Australia, in ISB7. The nugget was tlat and almost the exact counterpart in contour of a colossal human hand held open, with the exception of the thumb and fore finger, which were closed together in a manner so as to make it appear that the thumb was holding tlie finger in place. Its greatest length was twelve and a half inches and its greatest breadth eight inches. It was of the very purest gold, with but a little of foreign substances adhering, mostly between the "fingers." and weighed 017 ounces. It was found in the north west main drive of the Midhas mine, 120 feet below the surface of the earth and at a spot only fifty feet from where the famous Lady Hrassoy nug get was discovered the year before. It weighed fifty-one pounds of pure gold. Mine. Rejane at Rehearsal. Mme. Kejane at one of her rehearsals was endeavoring to impress upon a young actor the necessity of a tragic expression. "Put yourself in his place," she said. "But I have never been through such an experience," the other pleaded. "Well, then," retorted the actress, "imagine you have lost 300 or 4<M» iouis at baccarat and that you have been dismissed from tin? company." His face foil. "There you have it," said she. "Keep that expression and you will win." For a young woman who could not weep to order she tried a heroic cure. "Very well. 1 will take the part away from you. You are not pretty enough." This had the desired effect, and the j floodgates opened. I "Weep like that and you will be the I hit of the piece," exclaimed itejane j triumphantly.— I.oudon M. A. I'. Balzac and Black Coffee.

A feature of Parisian life is the ham fair which Is held on tho Boulevard Richard Le Nolr. The name of this fair Is wholly misleading, for as far as I have ever seen hams are the very last thing any one ever buys there. Old brass and copper curios, quaint Jewelry, rare china, lace, tapestries and books are what most people go , out to seek, and a sight not to be easily forgotten is the long, wide boulevard lined with ramshackle stalls laden | with every possible kind of lumber and presided over by tho most rapacious j ;of brocanteurs. Out of piles of value- I I less lumber Americans and English | I diligently seek for their pot kind of ■ curios, and there is not an artist in ] I Paris who cannot point to some bit | j of furniture in his or her studio and j j Bay with pric • "I got that for 5 francs ; lut the ham ir." No one ever pays j more than ncs, 1 uotice, but, alas, every year ••«e five franc bargains are becomln more rare, and even as housekeeping in Paris grows more and more costly so does the furnishing of one's house to keep.—London Queen. Only a Question of Possibility. Among the customers of a tea store opened In the northwest part of the city the other night was a man who, after buying a pound of coffee, handed a counterfeit half dollar to the shop keeper. "This money Is counterfeit; I'm sor ry, sir," said the shopkeeper. "Yes; I know It," replied the cus tomer, grinning. "Got it here one day last week, and I've been saving it for you." Then, noting the smile upon tho shopkeeper's face, the customer said, evidently offended, "Perhaps you doubt my word?" "Oh, not at all, sir; not at all. I couldn't doubt the word of so truthful a man. I was simply smiling because I wondered how it was possible for you to have got the money here. This place was opened only night before last" Thereupon the customer departed hastily after producing a good coin and slipping the counterfeit into his own pocket.—Philadelphia Times. Lancashire Humor. There was a Lancashire collier who went out on Sunday with his wheel barrow because, as he said, "I've lost mi dog, an' a felly looks slch a foo' gooln' a-walkln' bl hisself." Then there was the worklngmen's club committee which wanted to in dorse the accounts "audited and found correct and tuppence over" and the customer who, on being told that the price of candles had gone up owing to the war, asked whether they were "felgbtin' hi candle leet" Also one recalls the laggard Lan cashire lover who, when asked for a kiss, said he was "gooln' to do it in a bit," and the old ladies who praised a certain Darwin clergyman as "a grand burler," and of tho orator who trans lated "Dleu et mon droit" into "Evil be to him what evil thinks!"—" Lancashire Life and Character," by Frank Orme rod. Japan's Giant Wrestlers. Japanese wrestlers are not to be con fused with Japanese exponents of jlti Jltsu. The wrestlers belong to the older school, in which weight Is a par amount quality. It is a remarkable thing that a race which is on the av erage four or five inches under the Eu ropean standard In point of height should have produced a special cult of wrestlers who are giants in stature I and strength. Tho leading wrestlers of Tokyo or Osaka or Iliogo are all men at least six feet In height and weighing perhaps 300 pounds. They are a race apart. Wrestling is an oc cupation which has been handed down from father to son for many genera tions. And the explanation of their prowess is that they have always been meat eaters, while the rest of Japan, either from choice or necessity, have been in the main vegetarians. Diamonds Under Water. An Imitation diamond is never so brijllant as a genuine stone. If your eye is not experienced enough to de tect the difference, a very simple test is to place the stone under water. The imitation stone Is practically extin ■ guished, while a genuine diamoud j sparkles even under water and Is dla , tlnctly visible. When possible, place u : genuine atone beside the possible iml ' tation under water, and the contrast | will be apparent to the least experi j enced eyes. Consistent Theory.

In Johore. on the Malay peninsula, there is employed one of the strangest * languages in the world, used for a | most curious purpose. Tills tongue is called Pantaug Kapor or "camphor j ; language." and is a medium employed j j by natives and others engaged in gath- i | ering the product of the Malayan cam- j | phor tree, but only when they are at j | work. It is a superstition of these natives I j that should they use the language of i the district, the Malay or the aboriginal 1 •Takun, they would be unable to obtain j j their camphor. The Malay natives firmly believe ; that each species of tree has a spirit or j I guardian angel that presides over its i I affairs, this spirit being known by tho | name of Bisan. This divinity's resting ; place is near the trees. Then, too, the ' spirit of the camphor tree is held to be j extremely jealous of the precious gum, [ bo that it becomes necessary to propl- \ tiate her. Inasmuch as she would, should she learn that hunters were in quest of it, endeavor to interpose ob- Btacles to their mission. Accordingly j the natives speak in a tongue that the j tree spirit may not understand. It was j for this purpose that the mysterious j "camphor language" was invented, and j it consists of an odd mixture of Jakuu | and Malay words that have been cu- j riousiy altered and reversed.—Harper's i Weekly. CRATER LAKES. Mexico Has Some of the Most Perfect of These Peaceful Pools. The mere words "crater lake" carry j with them a charm and mystery that are akin to romance. But Mexico, \ with all her romance, has never given I abroad any description of some of the ! most beautiful crater lakes in the j world. Valle de Santiago, a little j town of the state of Guanajuato, j boasts four of the most perfect and j beautiful of such lakes. The village nestles among eleven ! craters, all formed in some past age by j sudden explosions from the interior of j the earth, explosions that blew out a great amount of earth, formed low cones and subsided without flow of lava or other demonstration than the single explosion. They are what are known to science as "explosion era- i ters." The calm restfulness of the crater ! lake is unlike anything in the world, j One finds lakes and solitary pools in j forests or mountain fastnesses, and j the calm there is akin to witchery, but they are stirred sometimes by passing breezes, and the trees will wave above in tho wind. But in a crater lake there is not a breath that | ! will stir it.and even a stone cast into j its bosom creates ripples that seem as I though they would be swallowed ere ! they are born. I'eace is a word with- j out a meaning until one lies silent on j the slope of such a crater, with such i a lake at his feet.—Mexican Ilerald. Bedouins and Water. It is not unusual to hear a Bedouin ! upon reaching a camp where water Is , J offered him refuse It with the remark, j "I drank only yesterday." Ou the j Bedouins' long marches across dry j countries the size of the water skins is j nicely calculated to just outlast the I journey, and they rarely allow them | selves to break the habit of nbstemi- I ousness, as this would be sure to make | their next water fast all the harder, i They are accustomed from infancy to | regard water as a most precious cotn j modity and use it with religious ecou \ omy. They know every hollow and ! nook in the mountains where water may be found. Their camels and goats, j ! which they take with them on their j ■ marches to supply tliem with milk aud | meat, live principally on tho scanty herbage and foliage of the thorny ral ! mosa. Neither men nor animals drink | more than once in forty-eight hours, i No wonder they can subsist where in vaders quickly perish. Mice That Subsist on Scorpions. Among the queer forms of animal | j life that Inhabit Death valley Is a ' mouse that has acquired such a tasto . j for scorpions that they form Its en -1 tire bill of fare. The scorpion carries its formidable armament iu the end of its slender, elongated abdomen In ; tho shape of an exceedingly venomous hooked sting. When disturbed It ele vates this In the air and goes In search J of Its disturber. But it is compara tively slow In Its motions, while mice are proverbial for their quickness the world over. Tho mouse learned many generations ago where the scorpion carries Its weapon, and when ho meets It he leaps at the uplifted iilhlouicii, takes off the sting at a single bite and proceeds to make a meal of liis help less prey. It Is supposed to be the only animal that relishes scorpions, A Point of Information. "Oeiitlenioii of the Jury," said the judge.

METEORIC DUST. Bombards the Earth In an Invisible, Never Ending Shower. Meteoric dust particles are infinitely finer than grains of sand. They have ! an interesting origin. Meteors or shoot , ing stars have been bombarding the world from the beginning at a rate es timated at many thousands an hour, of which, however, an average of only five or sis are visible to the naked eye j in that time. Owing to our protecting envelope of ! air few of these missiles reach us. In weight meteors vary from a few ounces to many pounds. Occasionally one is of sufficient dimensions to sur vive the passage of eighty to a hun dred miles through an atmosphere in creasing iu density as the earth is ap proached. The speed at which they enter the atmosphere, calculated at not less than thirty-five miles a second, generates | such intense heat by friction that the | iron, of which the meteor principally | consists, is immediately reduced to an incandescent vapor, which is the lumi nous train so frequently seen in the heavens on a clear night. The vapor rapidly cools and condenses in the form of these minute particles, which assume the spherical form, as does shot during its fall from the top of the tower. Finally the little spheres are scatter ed by the winds and currents in the upper air and gradually descend in their millions as an invisible, never ending shower. The perfect condition in which these meteors are found is due to the presence of certain non corrosive elements found by analysis to be present in t lie metal of meteors which have come to earth.—Chicago Tribune. A Clever French Captive. A person who was supposed to bo the French General Mouton, count do Lo bau, was once captured by an English vessel, but after a time the captain discovered that his prisoner was the Count de Montrond. "Why did you de ceive me?" he demanded angrily of th< count. "1 did not deceive you," rcpllec Montrond; "not at all. You thought 1 was General Mouton. You told me so. You have a fifty gun frigate. Was it for me, who have only a pocket pistol, to contradict you?" I The captain did not forgive Montrom ! ami took every opportunity to treat I him rudely. One evening at dinnet some one proposed the health of tin French. As Montrond rose to acknowl , odgo It the captain cried: "They art all cowards'. 1 make no exceptions!' When Montrond's turn came he. gavt tills sentiment. "The English—they art all gentlemen, but I make exceptions." Bay Bum. Bay rum is manufactured from th dried leaves of I'imeulo acris.
