T PAVED WITH. GOLD.
,Thr' Money In the Street Scrnpingi
of an African Town.
Travelers declare, says tlnrper'H
"Weekly, that at Axltn, ou tlie Gold
Coast of Africa, gold may actually bo
picked up In the streets. When one
visitor, an Englishman, took the state
ment as a mere Uguru of speech his
host Immediately b;ide a woman serv- i
ant go out Into the main street, gather j
a bucketful of road scrapings and
work it for gold dust. '
In ten minutes the servant returned ,
with two galvanized iron buckets, one
filled with road scrapings and the oth
er with water. She also brought three
or four wooden platters, varying In
size from a large plate to a saucer. I
Removing several handfuls of the
road scrapings and plnclng thi-in In the
large platter, the woman picked out
and threw aside the large stones, peb
bles nnd bits of stick and then mois
tened thi- remainder with water from
the othei bucket. This enabled her to
remove smaller refuse.
Tho renlduum she put Into the next
smaller platter, and she repeated the
process until there was a quantity of
sand nnd gravel rtudy for treatment.
This she sprinkled freely with water
and by a deft circular movement of
tho platter brought the small gravel to
the outside, where It could be thrust
over tho edge. When she had repeated
this operation three or four times she
treated the material, which now looked
moro like mud than anything else, In
a still smaller platter.
At last. In the smallest platter of all,
she had tho bucketful of sweepings re
duccd to" a handful or two of black
sand. This she carefully washed and
sifted. At last with a dexterous twist
sho brought the sand into a crescent,
tho outer edge or which showed a thin
rim of yellow. It was unnil -tnknlily
gold dust. The whole operation had
taken half an hour, and It had pro
duced about n shilling's worth of gold
PIGS AND FIGURES.
Porkers From the Standpoint of All
Around Mathematics.
Tho educated pig of the old time
sideshow, which gravely read figures
on a blackboard, was only a type of a
class. Ills modern prototype Is quite
his equal in devotion to the exact sci
ence Hy both instinct and fate he Is
a mathematical animal. Subjectively
and objectively he Is great on llgures.
Thoy are dealt out to him, and ho
deals in them himself. He desires his
square meals to be regulated dally by
tho rulo of three. In addition, lie deals
with his owner's Iiulcbtedm Ho Is
able to reduce a mortgage to auctions
Witt mazlug rapidity. In measuring
the available contents of a pail of slop
ho Is a lightning calculator.
As n multiplier tho pig has no equal,
counting on six to the litter nnd two
Utters In tho year. At this rate, bar
ring accidents, the sow's progeny will
amount to more than 1,000 In Tour
years. A week old pig is up in geom
etry, finding tho way home nlong the.
hypotenuse short cut. An old sow's
quickness in boxing the compass in a
potato patch Is ainnzlng. And when
It comes to a troughful of sklinmilk
she is the least common divisor; she
wants It all herself.
Objectively tho porker Unds himself
stacked about with n bewildering nr
ray of Ugures his gains every day on
pasture, ids gains every day on grain,
his gains to the pound of grain, his
gains on pasture plus a daily ration
his gains on vegetables and roots
theso and a hundred other tabulations
surround him. Profit or loss, so fnr as
tho pig Is concerned, Is almost purely
a matter of feeds and feeding, nnd
theso nro in their turn matters Of al
most pure mathematical measure
ments; henco have resulted tho long
listed calculations available to tho
farmer. W. J. Haraha In Breeder's

Boiling the Kettle.
Mrs. Campbell had engaged a new
maid. "Martha," said tho mistress ou
the first morning, "be careful alwnys
to boll tho teakettle before making tho
tea."
Martha signified her willingness
and, after an absence in the kitchen,
returned to her mistress and said:

enough to boll the taykettle In, 'less

Kurly Id the morning I went to thft
club, wheie I found tunny of the
guests, who were taking part in the
ceremony for the first time. We were
pr'ovjilcl with a complete new suit ol
lliudu garments, and our dressing
was superintended by the mahnruju's
servants We had camels, elephants
and vi torins jiro;lded for us. I was
on an elephant. In a kind of box. nnd
we drove In procession to the palace
of the native city.
"We were received with great no
claim by the natives, and 1 was led to
believe that It was to be decidedly i.
dlgnlllc I occasion, but I was woefully
mists ! 'it The fun had not begun.
Cert nil i formalities had to be goiw
throttg;i, before the signal was given.
"We took our seats In the courtyard
of the palace at n lontr table that was
loaded with large gilt dishes filled with
dlf.ere it colored ballsjts large as or
anges itid filled with hull powder At
a slgnr:! the brother of the nmharujo

the bii'fs and threw It gently ucrosi.

breast
"The ball broke and scattered tho
powdei over his costume. Then there
was a general scramble, nnd In less
time than It takes to write hundreds
of balls were Hying about, their many,
colored contents scattered broadcast
on the crowd. Next baskets -of loose
powder were thrown upon us In hand
fills. I "It was no use to expostulate: the
limine t you opened your mouth some
body r.lled It with powder. The battle
grew I. ist anil furious, when suddenly
an eii'irtnoiis stream of water from a

colored powders became wet and. mln

"Afi-r this sort of thing had gone on
for -an if an hour it ceased by mutual

we were inot unceremoniously pitch

Maddening Calmness.
A New Yorker who had planned a
week end trip with his wlfo fumed
and fretted without avail on the morn
ing set for their departure because she
made such slow progress in getting
ready for the Journey. At last he fairly
dragged her from the house and Into
a Waiting taxieab, although she kept
protenlng that there was no occasion
for hurry, ns they bad plenty of" time.
Arrived at the station, the couple dash
ed for their train and were Just In
time to see it pulling out "There."

you that. we'd never catch that train
