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'.

The Ham Fair at Pari*.
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

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.

THE CAMPHOR LANGUAGE.
Used In Johoro Because of a Malay
Superstition.
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,

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."
