Although Hi WllllnlT Gv Nw Floor For u Old Om. It ia not very often that such a seem ingly philanthropic offer ia made by one buainoxs man to another as that told of by a partner in an old bullion house to a reporter. "Not long afro," he said, "a (baler in gold and silver hoard that one floor of a building which had not been occu pied for some time was to bo rented, but that the prospective, tenant had in sisted that a now floor be laid before be take possession, as the old one had be come very much worn. The bullion dealer knew that the previous occupant had been a manufacturer of jewelry and had been in tniNitiens in the place for many years. Ho promptly visited the owner of the property and told him that be would put in a uew floor of the best wood for nothing. The owner made a few inquiries, but the dealer said very little in reply, except that he thought he would manage to scrape a good deal of gold and silver dust from off the floor. Hia offer was accepted. The wood i for the new floor and tbe labor for lay ing it cost about f -'00. "The old flooring was burned and the ashes put through a course of re duction. The result was (hut the bullion dealer obtained nearly ."00 for f ho gold ! and silver which were brought out, or a profit of about 100 per cent on the oper ation. "Every manufacturer of jewelry or worker iu the precious metals calculates that be will lose about S00 iu 'satu rating' new quarters of the usual loft fixe. The gold and pilvcrdust penetrates the pores of the wood and small parti cles are ground into the floor. After just so much is lout in this way the waste ceases and all dust that falls to the floor or adheres to the wall may be i swent nn or off and saved The awion. ings in these factories and in bullion offices are always saved and reduced."

The history of the eoolilnenl insect was for a long time very ohaenre, and at one time tho xvics employed In commerce was considered a kind of grain. It was not until near tho close of the seventeenth century that it was dis covered to bo of insect origin. Tho in vl is a native of Mexico, where it was raised by the Mexican Iiuli: long be fore tho country was discovered by Ihe Spaniard. It is now cultivated iu some of the Weed India islands and in a few of our western states, but it is In Mex ico only that it is raised in sullleieut quantities to iiuiu an article ol com merce. The insect is raised on the coch ineal tree, or Indian llg or nopal, which is a pccit of cactus. The cochineal ia first ooll.vteU about the middle of December. The insects are remgved from the tree with a knifo, tho edge of which has been blunted, or are carefully brushed off with a squir rel taiL This labor is performed by the women. 1 be Insects are usually killed by the application of heat, by baking in ovens or by the heat of the sun. When tbe cochineal arrives In the market, it is in the form of a small grain, having a convex and a concave side, but with very little resemblance to the body of an insect It is used for dyeing crimson and scarlet and for making carmine. Cochineal alone yields a purjilo color, which, when mixed with a solution of tin in nltromuriatio acid, may be changed to a most beautiful scarlet The discovery is said to have been made in this wise: A man who was making a thermome ter placed in his window an extract of cochineal made with boiling water, and in some way a vial containing nitro muriatio acid was broken over it This acid changed the purple dye into a most ...Tho Prairie Farmer...

In this pool there are among other fish three handsome weakfish, each weighing about a pound and a half. Sometimes the weakfish swim about in company, sometimes two together and one by itself. Sometimes the three move about separately, but it seems as though they knew one another. The other day two of them started around the big pool in opposite direc tions. Meeting on the other side, they halted side by side in the water for a moment, as two men might halt on meeting in the street, and after this mute greeting they started np their fins and went each its way. New York Sun. What He Wa Doing. Into an alley on Fifth street, between Jefferson and Market, a young fellow who had tho appearance of a country hayseed wandered yesterday and stood near tbe entrance, gazing np at tho show bills, reading them aloud and spelling (hem aloud as he read. He attracted the attention of thepaHHertiby, who gathered around him and commenced guying bim. Ho stood it pretty well for awhile, and suddenly faced about iu reply to a query ! as to what he was doing and said to his questioner, "I've jist bin waitin to see how long a gentleman could stand hero and mind his own business before some durned fool would aHk him what be was a-doin.

D., of St Louis says that the best food for those suffering from typhoid fever is the ba nana. In this disease, ho explains, the lining membrane of tho small intestine becomes intensely inflamed and engorg ed. Eventually it begins slonghing away in spots, leaving well defined ulcer. At these places the intestinal walls bo come dangerously thin. A solid fixxL if taken into the stomach, is likely to pro duce perforation of the intestines and dire results will follow. Therefore solid foods or foods containing a lurge amount of innutritions substances, as compared with nutritious substances, are danger ous and are to be avoided. The banana, although it may be classed as a solid food, containing as it does 95 per cent nutrition, does not possess sufficient waste to irritate these sore spots. Nearly the whole amount taken into the stom ach is absorbed and gives the patient more strength than can be obtained from other food New York Tribune. 18(H) miles of long dis tance telephone wire in Oregon ami Washington now in otxTiition by the Oregon Telephone ana Tel-; egrnph company. j Portland, Seattle, Sk ! kane, Turnnia, Salem, Walla Wnlla, Pendleton, Albany ami !Ki other towns i in tho two rtutcH on the line. i Quick, uccnrati', cheap., All tin; Hati.xfuction of a personal communication. 1 bitttancn no I'llect to a cleiir understanding.

In writing of the pardoning pow er invested in the president, Hon. Benjamin Harrison says in The Ladies' Home Journal: "The papers in these murder cases are usually voluminous a full record or an abstract of the evi dence making part. If the trial seems to have been fairly conducted and no new exculpatory evidence is produced, and the sentence does not seem to have been unduly severe, the president refuses to interfere. Ho cannot weigh the evidence as well as the judge and jury. They saw and heard tho witnesses, and he has only a writing before him. It happens sometimes that tho wifo or mother of tho condemned man conies in person to plead for mercy, and I know of no more trying ordeal than to hear their tearfnl and sobbing utterances and to feci that a public duty requires that they be de nied their pruyer.
