Aa the vesesl (lands now she I not worth more than 112,000. She was built In IWi at a coat of be tween t'S.000 and IS0.00O. It coat $36,000 to raise her from the bottom of Mission bay. and It will coat about 130.000 more to put her Into the Bha her owner demand. Tho underwriters tried to sell the vessel before raising her, but no ono here would buy her. Then bids were asked for to ascertain the cost of rlght Iiik the ahlp. Captain Hums, an expert wrecker, was sent to the roast to In- qulte Into the matter. He cabled back that he could raise the vessel, but that the expense would be considerable. Thomson, Pickle A Co., of Glnsgow, owners or the liliurmore, would take nothing but the total Insurance or the vessel In her original condition. T. P. 11.

When he came lo this city ton years ago there were several thousand men who had from $5 to $5,000 apiece In their pock ets, and .McDIves didn't have 50 cents in his pocket. Well, sir, all the money those other men had Is now In Mc DIves possession. That' w hat I call genius, sir; yes, sir, genius." Boston Transcript. BOTH INDIGNANT.

How the Gliding t'sed In Ornamental iNiroratlon la Pn-jiared. From Pearson's Weekly. The beating of the Innumerable little square pines of gild wdilch are used to over dimes and sign and so forth forma a distinct Industry In the gold trade, which ernploya a large number of hands and requires no small amount of skill. The long, low building In which the work Is carried on Is filled throughout the day with the sound of hammer. n every side little boxes containing tiny rolls of gold are to be seen, which although only measuring an Inch and a half In length, are worth each about 110. The gold Is received In bars one eighth of an Inch In thickness, an Inch In width, and and weighing 240 penny weights. This Is rolled Into a ribbon thirty yards In length. It Is then given to the workmen In atrlpa measuring seven yards, each of which I cut up Into 120 pieces. These are now ready to be beaten out by hand. They are placed (protected by fine skins) In a tool known aa the clutch, and are thoroughly pounded out on a great granite block set In the ground In such a way that there la absolutely ! no vibratory movement The process Is repeated several times, the gold as It spreads being continually subdivided i until It Is of the exact dimensions re quired. The skins In which the gold Is beaten are so delicate that they will tear as ' easily aa paper; neverthelea they will j withstand the continual hammering for j several years. The gold, which la final-1 ly beaten down to 200,00ths of an Inch, is rubbed with "brine" before being placed In the skins, In order that It shall not adhere to them. Easy as this work of beating out the gold may seem. It Is In reality an art of a very delicate description. The workman must know to a nicety exact ly how hard or gentle the blows of his hammer must be, and also the exact spot on which they should fall. Ac cordingly, a very superior class of men are employed In the business. REPORTER WAS HELD UP. Made a Proposition to the Thieves, but They Didn't Accede. "Yes," said the old reporter, as they were waiting at the Central Police Sta tion for something to turn up. "There certainly are a lot of hold-ups Just now. I w as held up myself not long ago." "You don't say," exclaimed the youngest reporter. "They didn't get much," commented another old-timer. Right you are, my boy. It was on a Saturday night, and white everybody else Is rolling In wealth on that day. the newspaper man Is poor, as he does n't get his pay until Monday." 'Tell us about It?" asked the young est reporter. , "Oh, it was like other hold-ups. True, It was a little different. If It had only been eorller I would have got a scoop, but It was after the paper had gone to press. I was on my way home after my hard day's work." "No wonder you were after It You have never found It yet." "No Jollying now. On my way from West Madison street to my house I I 'ass a couple of blocks which are very dark. I never thought much of being held up and took no precautions against It. On this Saturday night I was quite surprised to be accosted by a man who aid, In true dime-novel style: " 'Your money of your life!' "While another selxed me from be hind. I was very much astonished, but I thought this would be a good chance to get a story, so I told the hold-up men that I had no money and ex plained to them that I was a reporter. I said, however, that If they wanted to make some money I would let them tell me their adventures and I would write a story about them and agree to give them one-half of the proceeds. "And then?" They didn't do It One of them went through me, and finding nothing, they departed, neither of us any the richer than when we met." The New Yor Times says the country needs revenue and rest, but It overlooks the fact that It also needs protection and Industry before taking a rest. A few year ago there wero plenty of people who said that pugilism was dead, but you cannot find any of them now. OA8TOXUA.
