Douglas Jerrold, the celebrated wit, said: "There are three things that no man but a fool lends, or, having lent, Is not in the most helpless state of mental crassitude if be ever hopes to get back again. These three things are books, money and umbrellas. I believe a certain lictlon of the law assumes a remedy against the borrower, but I know of no case In which any man, bo lug Builloleutly dastard to gibbet his reputation as plaintiff In such a suit, ever fairly succeeded against the whole-' some prejudices of society. I'mbrellns may be 'hedged about' by cobweb stat utes. I will not swear that It Is not so. There may be laws that make such things property, but I am sure that Uie hissing contempt, the loud mouthed In dignation, of all civilized society would sibilate and roar at the bloodless pol troon who should engage law on big side to obtain for him the restitution of a lent umbrella."

A story Is told of an artist who resented the disparaging comparisons made by a sculptor nud laid a wager that he could within a given time palut a picture which should displny the human figure ns complete ly as any sculptor could. The wager was accepted, and upou the appointed day a palming was produc ed which fulfilled all the condition It represented a warrior, bis buck to the spectator, bending over a sheet of wa ter, in the limpid surface of which were reflected his entire face and form. To the right a suit of polished armor bung and threw back a full length profile Image, while a mirror performed a like office for the left side.

Wilson MEXICO'S LOST MINES ANCIENT BEDS OF TREASURE THAT CANNOT NOW BE LOCATED. The Romance Which llovera Arnnnd the Famona Hidden Mine of Talopa. Siipi'Miltlon and Cunnlnar of the Nntlve Indiana. Of the many mines which were work ed by the Spaniards and which gave them such fabulous returns for their labor scarcely one can be located to day. Many romantic stories as to their whereabouts have been followed up, only to be met with defeat. One of the richest of llmse mines was probably Tanisca, about which Hum boldt has written. It was worked long before the Spaniards arrived In Mex ico, and the gold and silver were made Into ornaments by the aborigines. A family In Cuaymas has a necklace of Hying Msh purchased from n I'lma chief, who said that the metal was dug from Tarasca. Later the iiilno was ac quired by the crown of Spain mid was worked, with the exception of n period during the Apache war, till the French Intervention, when the shafts were said to have beeti concealed by the admin istrator, Don Juan Moreno, who was forced to seek safety in flight. After the restoration of peace the location of Tarawa was looked for In vain, though the mine uow known as L'barbo Is sup posed to be the same. When rediscov ered years ago L'barbo was found to have been extensively worked and the shafts concealed under earth and brush. Rich pillars of ore. were found In'tbe drifts, and the mine corresponds In many respcts with the descriptions of Tarasca found In the archives of tbe American consulate at (iuaymas. The fame of Tarasca Is eclipsed by the romance which hovers around the lost mine of Talojia. A Mexican of great wealth who was much Interested In the subject made a trip to Madrid to search for data on the subject. He found absolutely nothing to prove that such a mine had ever been worked by the crown of Spain, and there Is noth ing In Mexican archives to establish the facts, (jnite as trustworthy as the written documents are the traditions among the I'lma Indians. They main tain that Talopa exists and a few claim to know Its whereabouts. Small quantities of very rich ore are occa sionally sold at the mountain mining camps, but all attempts to follow the Indians to the spot where It Is, found or to bribe them to reveal It have been unavailing. Their wants are few, and they believe that should they reveal the secret they would drop dead. About six years ago an old 1'inia chief fell 111 In one of the valley pueblos and was cured by a Mexican lady so well known and universally respected that her statement Is taken without ques tion. The old Indian returned to his tribe and from time to time sent his benefactress rich bits of ore which assayed thousands of dollars to the ton. All her efforts to get him to lead her to the mine were fruitless, for the great spirit would strike him dead for the offeiiKe. The following summer the senora went to the mountains and liv ed among the Indlaus for three months, doctoring the sick and giving presents of ribbons and gay calico to the wom en. She became convinced that the spot whence the rich ore came was Talopa. Finally the old chief admitted that the mine was worked when be was a boy and gave permission to two women of the tribe to lead the senora within a few yards of the mine so that Bhe might discover it for herself and save him from tbe peuulty of sudden death for revealing It. The three wom en traveled mostly at night, pasr'ng through deep canyons and over lofty mountains. The fourth night some hours after dark the Indian women led her Into a deep canyon and paused before a large rock. In the dim moonlight an old ar rant ra was seen and across the canyon a large ore dump. The woman gath ered bits of ore from the dump, but was hurried away by the squaws, who mid they would be killed If they de layed beyond the time mentioned by their chief. They traveled till tbe moon went down, rested a few hours and went on before daylight, complete ly ballllng the Mexican woman as to the route they bad taken. They ar rived at the pueblo at nightfall, hav ing taken four days to reach the mine and but one to return, the obvious con clusion being that she had been led In a circle. Despairing of gaining more, (ho woman returned to her home, but she hopes at some future time to con tinue the search. Two other mines which are supposed to have been the property of the crown during the Spanish occupation and of which there are many romantic tales ire the Relua Mercedes and the Casa ISIiineu. Both have been probably re discovered and worked under other names. The Itelua Mercedes Is sup posed to be one of the rich Conchena group and the Casa Blanca the Casltas mine. Near the lntter Is an ancient mine, now worked by a Mexican com pany, which has open cuts on the sur face for more than a mile and several miles of underground workings. Near this mine, where once a large church stood, which has long since fallen into ruins, two copper bells have been found. They bear the name of Guada lupe de Talopa, thus leading many to the belief that the Tajos mine is the long lost Talopa. New York Herald. Never Original.

"Shak "speare," said n scientist, "cnll ed sleep the ape of death. That Is a striking name for a striking thing. Sleep is a wonderland. Let us explore It. "Swlf hypnotism is a mysterious force that we can exercise on ourselves In sleep alone. We are all self hypnotists. We all, on certain nights, tell ourselves firmly .that we must not oversleep, that the. next morning at 4, at 5 or (I pre cisely we must wake up. And we do wake up. Our sleeping selves respond to the hypnotic suggestion made the night before by our waking selves. That is mysterious and striking, Isn't It? Still more mysterious and striking, though, Is the fact of our keeping truck of the time somehow In our slumber. Huw on earth do we do Mils? "It Is Impossible to do without sleep. Men have slept standing, walking, even running. They have slept In battle, un der fire, with guus roarlug on all sides. They have slept in unendurable and deadly pain. "There Is no torture equal to that which the deprivation of sleep entails. The Chinese are the cruelest folk on earth aud the most Ingenious of tor turers. Well, the Chinese place the dep rivation of sleep at the head of their torture list, "Sleep is a state of rest. The heart rests In sleep. The heart is a rhythmic muscle, uot one that never reposes, but one that works nt short shifts, like a puddler, a moment on, a moment off. Well, when we sleep the heart's shifts of rest are redoubled. It works, then, one on, two off, getting, Indeed, pretty nearly as much repose as wo do. "The brain lu sleep becomes pale and sinks below tbe level of the skull. When we are awake the brain is high aud full aud ruddy. "Not only the brain and heart, but even the tear glands, rest In sleep. That Is why when we awake we al ways rub out eyes. The rubbing is nn instinctive action that stimulates the stagnant tear glands aud causes them to moisten properly our eyes, all dried from their Inaction." Buffalo News. THE ENGLISH PARLIAMENT. Why It Ilnuaea Were Unlit Upon the River Hank. Wellington once declared that tbe most exciting moment of his life was not in any of bis great battles, but that In which he had to forbid William IV. to attend a public banquet In the city during a time of grent national excite ment. Of the millions of people who every year see the English houses of parliament, how many Imagine that their position was determined by stra tegic considerations? No one nowadays can think of the palace of Westmin ster In any other position than that which It occupies. But when the old bouses were burned dowu nud the task of rebuilding faced there wa.i a propo-' sltion to establish them on or near the lte of St. James' palace. Wellington resolutely put down bis foot on the proposal. Tbe site suggested, its advocates pointed out, would be" better as regards centrality aud convenience than any other. But to the argument of the duke there could then be no answer. "With n vast iyirt growing population, such as yours In London," he said, "you must never make It possible that you can be surrounded. You must build your houses of parliament upon the river, so that the means of Ingress and egress are' safe and that the popu lace cauuot exact their demands by sitting down around you." Sir William Frnser, in whose memoirs the story is recalled, mentioned it to Napoleon III. Just before the death of the latter. "What wisdom!" he said. "What wis dom!" Aud it set him musing upon the different turn which the history of France might have taken if in other ways as great precautions had been observed lu his own case. St. James' Gazette. Hard Luck.

LIFE IN PENANQ. 1 The Mlaerr and the Dlacomforts of the Ilalnr Season. A resident of I'ennng thus describes the rainy season there: "Our rains have set lu with all their attendant comforts aud discomforts, and they make one feel something like Robinson Crusoe when he made up the list of his bless ings and evils. The planters are all re joicing and are putting out their seed lings and cuttings and generally doing air they should do. The bullocks are beginning to fill out those ugly hollows between their ribs and about their flanks, for the grass on their limited pastures Is growing rich and rnnk, and these patient, halt slarved beasts profit by It. Our trees have all put on new coats of brilliant green, and the whole place wears a newly washed appear ance, very comforting after the dusty, dry season In which our soup tastes gritty and a piece of bread and butter seems to have had a bit of sandpaper glued on the butter side. But even our rains have their disadvantages. "When I como home, thoroughly wet and disgusted with everything, and go to bed Immediately after dinner, the roof commences to leak, and I have to get out and shift the bed. I Interview the landlord lii the morning, and ho tells me roofs can't bo repaired In the rain and that in all probability as soon as the tiles swell the roof will become water tight of Its own accord. That doesn't euro either my lmulxigo or rheumatism, and when I take my bath I discover we are on the Ader Itaiu wa ter service and have to bathe In pea soup. "I mention the fact to the municipal president over n stengah at the club, and be says, 'My dear boy, I'm on the same service and have been combing mud out of my hair for a week.' This doesn't make me feel nny cleaner. The lizards on the ceiling are waxing fat from the Insects which are driven Into the house by" the rain, mid I notlco that the soup at dinner seems to have move body In It from the same cause. This does not Improve my temper." Chicago News. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. Almost every one has need of more sense than ho has. Ever notice that when your Judg ment gets in its work it is too late?

Keceutly a German scien tist has been experimenting anil has found that It Is possible to suspend a velght of four ounces by a .single hair, provided the hair be black. Blond hair will give way at varying weights, de pendent upon the exact tint. A yellow hair will scarce support two ounces, a brown will hold up three without breaking, while a very dark brown will sustain an additional half ounce.

He Is far too lazy to be disturbed by the ap proach of human beings. So conliding is he that the natives of India call him the blind heron. I once saw one of these birds standing motionless at the water's edge within ten feet of a grunting, perspiring washerman, who was dashing some clothes to pieces against a stone In a dirty duck pond. That is the way washing Is done in In dia. Neither individual took the least notice of the other." Trunin Veritas ItlngrN.

CONSUMPTION'S WARNING Inside facts soon become evident in outside symptoms. Dr. o. G. Green. flThe aid of scientific inventions is not needed to determine whether your lungs are affected. The first symptoms can be readily noted by anyone of average in telligence. (fl'f here is no disease known that gives so many plain warnings of its approach as consumption, and no serious disease that can be so quickly reached and checked, if the medicine used is Dr. Hoschce's German Syrup, which is made to cure consumption. lt is in the early stages that German Syrup should be taken, when warnings are given in the cough that won't quit, the congestion of the bronchial tubes and the gradual weakening of the lungs, ac companied by frequent expectoration. QBut no matter now deep-seated your cough, even if dread consumption has already attacked your lungs, German Syrup will surely effect a cure as it lias done before in thousands of apparently hopeless cases of lung trouble.
