Ths Efficacy cf Prayer. '
Among my esteemed neighbors there
Is a family known for the piety of its
members and their Implicit confidence
la the efficacy of prayer. One of the
daughters, Miss Kate B., has almost
reached the age when she could be re
ferred to ungallantly as an old maid.
She la the target for many a good na
tared quip pertaining to ber alleged
hopes and endeavors In the direction
of matrimony.
Not long ago a certain society of
young men which had Interested Itself
In a campaign for higher saloon license
sent a committee to visit the homes of
the district and obtain signatures to a
high license petition. When this com
mittee, numbering half a dozen mem-
.bere, ascended the front steps at the
B. home my friend's wife was the first
to see It through the front window.
"Laws, John I" 'she exclaimed to her
husband. "See all those young men
coming to visit us."
Mr. B. glanced out of the window,
noted the number of the Invading force
and remarked, with an air of convic
tion:
'Tlumphl Kate's been praying
again." Sao Francisco Call.
An Anecdote of Ellsworth.
There was a characteristic Incident lu
the early life of Colonel Ellsworth, the
brilliant young lawyer who wus one of
the first notable victims of the civil
war. Ills struggles to gain a foothold
in bis profession were attended by
many hardships and humiliating priva
tions. Once, finding the man be was
looking for on a matter of business in
a restaurant, be was invited to partake
of the luncheon to which bis acquaint
ance was Just sitting down. Ellsworth
was ravenously hungry, almost starv
ing, In fact, but be declined courteously,
but firmly, asking permission to talk
over the business that bad brought blni
thither while the other went on with
the meal.'
The brave young fellow In telling the
story In after years confessed that he
suffered positive agony at the sight and
smell of the tempting food.
"I could not m honor accept hospi
tality I could not reciprocate," was bis
simple explanation of bis refusal. ,"I
might starve, but I could not sponge!"

An Illegal Practice Which Has Fallen
Into Disuse.
Closely allied to the making of coun
terfeit coins aud usually combined
with that nefarious trade is what Is
known us "sweating," which requires
considerable skill to accomplish suc
cessfully. A rubber mold la used, Into
which a gold colu to be sweated Is In
troduced und held with a clip.
Copper wires having been adjusted,
the coin Is Immersed in a hath of
cyanide of potusslum and an electric
bnttery set going. The action of the
electricity upon the coin in the ncld
uniformly sweats the metal that Is to
say. causes so much of it to become
detnebed. This process is gone through
with a largo number or coins, and the
gold deposit thus obtained Is cxtrncted
from the acid.
It Is tor the purpose of detecting the
existence or such reduced coins that
bankers weigh gold coins In a balance,
and if one Is in the scale It will Imme
diately be shown by the Indicator. The
light coin Is thou taken out, and what
ever the shortage represents that
amount the customer will hare to
make up or be fined.
But, all things considered, sweating
Is but a poor business, says- II. L.
Adam In bis Interesting book, "The
Story of Crime," and evidently it Is j
thought so by the criminal fraternity,
for It hns dwindled to a mere nothing.
A sovereign weighs 123.27447 grains,
and the limit of error In the weight Is
2 of a jrraln, from which it may
readily be gathered that sweating can
not now be n very lucrative business.
