SIFTIN G OCEAN SAND.
THE OLD MAN WHO- DIGS THE
BEACH FOR GOLD.
Luck of 2. Treasure Seeker at Atlantic
City—Putting the Seashore Sand Through
a Sieve, Shovelful by Shovelfnl—The
Articles Found.
“What in the‘name of common sense are
you doing?" ,
The long gray haired and long white
bearded old man thus addressed straightened
up as much as a back bent with the weight
of three _score:years and ten would permit.
He rapped the large coarse sieve in his lean
and [sun burned hand against ~one of the
hundreds of piles that support the bath
houses and other structures on the fine,
smooth beach. Out fell pieces of clam shells
and oyster shells, a rusty nail, and a large
handful of coarse graveL-which the old man
a moment‘before hadlbeen turning over care-
fully with‘his-fingers and looking at intently
through his; silver bowed spectacles. He

the other,~threw.dow'n‘.the sieve on the pile
of sifted sand, took the shovel leaningagainst
thepile, and preparede thrust it into the
hole half full of water that 'he had dug on
the seaward side of- the pile. Then, and not
till then, did he‘deign'to reply.
“Siftin’ sand,” came‘from the lips, and the
tobacco juice that-trickled gently downon
his old shiny waistcoat the wind blow-
ing upon hisrag‘gedcoat exposed to view.
“So I see; but whatare you sifting for?”
“Little uv ev’rything,” was the laconic and
unenlightening.reply.
“Do you find much?”
“Wall, no; not -so very much. These ere
piles has been dug to death. Thar ain’ta
manin Atlantic Citywvith anhour hangin’
on his hands but what comes down here and
digs round them ere-Epiles._. It’s a mighty
lucky feller that finds , much of anything
nowadays. I’ve been diggin’ here about all
the forenoon, and I ha’n’t found,a durn
thing that’s wuth keeping"ceptin’ this ere—I
don’t know what ’tis. I' never seed one
afore. It looks like some kind- uv a coin.
P’rhaps you can tell.”
He drew forth with solemn deliberation a
calfskin pocketbook, black with dirt and use,
and pulled out a piece of brown paper we
fully folded up. He unwrapped it and held
out in his trembling hand a small, round
copper colored coin about the size of a silver
three cent piece, only a little thicker. I took
it in my fingers and read on one side: “2
pfennigs.”
“Oh, that’s a small German coin. It isn’t
worth much, but it’s quite interesting.”
I handed it toone of a group of several
ladies that had been attracted tons. The
coin passed through the dainty gloved fingers
of each of the ladies. Their enthusiastic ex-
clamations and endless questions delighted
the old man. It made his eyes glitter, the
saliva to run faster and his tongue more
agile.
“Is this what you find by digging here 1”
"Not all I find. I told you thatlwe find
everything, and so we do—coins, china
dolls, nails, spectacles, eyeglasses, gold and
silver chains, gold rings and brass rings
and”——- ,
At thiapoint the old man, who had taken
his shovel in hand again and had set it deep
in the hole, was stopped in his sentence by
the great exertion required to lift up the
shovel, held down by the suction of the
water audits burden of sand. He did not
resume his sentence. He turned his whole
attention and strength to the work before
him. He finally got the shovel out of the
water and emptied its contents into the sieve.
Repetitions of the operation soon filled the
sieve, which he lifted up andbegan to shake
with what strength a long life of hard work
and disappointment had left him. The fine
sand fell out and left refuse such as I had be-
fore noticed. Placing one side of the sieve
on the little pile of sand, he ran his fingers
through it carefully, picking up between his
thumb and forefinger any particle that prom-
ised to be something of value and bringing it
closer to his eyes, to make sure that he was
not throwing away anything that he should
keep. Just as he was aboutto give up the
search and empty the sieve, his fingers
snatched quickly at a glittering piece of gold
that lay half buried among the baser mate.
rials.
“And watch charms," exclaimed the old
man with glee, holding up a round piece of
jewelry, in the center of which was a small
compass. '
“Well, that isn’t so bad,” he added, stoop-
ing over to wash the send off in the water.
“That ought to be worth $3, and it isn’t every
old codger like me as can make 83in two
hours. If this were new it would bring$5
or $6, but seein’ it’s been worn and lost, I
don’t expect to get as much for it as I would
if it had come out of the jewelry store bran’
new.” _ _‘
“You’re not having such bad luck," after
all.”
“No, not today. But I tell you, young
man, since this business was taken up by
everybody that could handle a shovel, it
ain’t what it used to be,” he said, with a sigh.
“When I first cum here and begun digging,
I had great luck. I didn’t hav’ ter do much
of anything else to get a livin’. I’ve found
a good many pieces of moncy, silver and
gold,” he continued, taking off his old slouch
hat: which let the wind blow his white locks
over his wrinkled forehead. He turned up
the leather band and drew out apiece of
greasy brown paper. He unfolded it as
though it were of priceless value, and laying
it out in the palm _of his hand placed the
watch charm in it, and folding it as neatly
as his palsied fingers would, permit, he drew
forth his calfskin pocketbook and put his
latest find in with the two pfcnning piece.
The departure of the good old times seemed
to have made the old digger doubly careful of
his treasures, and he guarded them against
.loss with :1. vigilance that increased with
their insignificance.
“I’ve found more gold. and silver dollars
than any other coin; some of them have
been pocket pieces, I suppose. But I’ve
found a good many old eagles and half
eagles. Once I found aleather strap filled
with Spanish gold coins. I think it must
have belonged to some Spanish sailor, or
somebody else who had been shipwrecked.
You know we have shipwrecks oil! the coast
here sometimes. The sand bars hereabouts
are dangerous in bad weather, and you can’t

pointing to the 'Absecom light not far away.

ish vessel, but I suppose there must have

good deal of money, andI ort to have bought
five of them ere lots here. I could have

day they’d be worth $4,000. But I didn’t
buy them, and I ha’n’t got the money now.
It's all gone, and me and my old woman
ha‘n’t got but mighty little to keep us outen

W’omcn as Home Decorators.
The amateur’s work in decoration has
chiefly found its way to store windows where
it seems to plead for purchasers, while it
shunned criticism. China painting, figures
on silk and satin, and useless articles of
finery, for along time were the limit of the
resources of women who could paint and
desired to turn their skill to value. It was a
poor field because overcrowded. A new out-
let has been opener; to them; namely, home
decoration, and I hope it may prove sufficient-
ly wide in range to drive the crude, immature
paintings and decorations placed in the art
stores and shops in the chance hope of sale.
A: Many who have elegant homes have found
the advantage of some decoration which will
last longer than the paper hangers’ art, and
are having their houses brightened with
pretty or quaint work. Panels, walls and
ceilings are being painted, and the neat work
for which women are noted is chiefly desired.
I know of several houses in which the marble
stationery washstands are decorated with
flowers and plants, so that when filled with
water the flowers seem to be real. Others of
the new houses have the; panels of the doors
covered with pretty designs, and I know a
young lady who has received an order to
decorate a screen. The demand for such
work is growing, and I think it will increase.

Use of Stimulants Between Meals.
Although all persons who indulge in alco-
hol stimulants well within the margin of
actual drunkenness speak of themselves as
“moderate drinkers,” there are two special
classes of them which bear no resemblanceto
each other, except in the one solitary circum-
stance that they never at any time take suf-
ficient to intoxicate themselves. The one
class is that which only partakes of stimu--
lants while‘ating; the other indulges in
them between meal times. To the latter
habit is applied in this country the title of
“nipping,” while in the cast it is sppken of
as “pegging.” And this is the most perni-
cious of all fol-ms of drinking, from the
fact that stimulants taken without at the
same time partaking of sood, though only
imbibcd in small quantities at a time, have
most deleterious effects on the internal or-
gans. A man who habitually indulges in a.
single glass‘of sherry in the forenoon, a
brandy and soda in the afternoon, anda glass
of whisky and water inthe course of 'the
evening, does 'far more injuryto his consti-
tution than one who partakes Of a larger
quanty of alcoholic stimulants at meal times.

THE DEADIEY DRUGS .
WHICH ARE COMING INTO USE IN
PLACE OF ALCOHOL.
What New York City Druggists Say on
the Subject-The Mania for Treating
Ono’s Own Ailments—Narcotics, Stimu-
lants and Soporiflcs.
An up town druggist who was spokenfo
about the subject said: “I sell a good deal
of ,b'ch chloroform and ether without pre-
scriptions, but I don’t consider that, so long
asmy drugs are not intended for suicidal
employment or murder, I have any right to
ask what is going to be done with them. I
knovv'what the law is, but deem that a drug-
glst must exercise some discretion in con-
forming to it. Why, a majority of the
things on my shelves, things not commonly
classed as poisons, either, a person couldfikill
himself with if he were fool enough to take
too much of them. And here’s a. ‘respect that
gives us pause’ when we think of strictly
applying the law. A great many persons are
told by their physicians to take this or that
medicine, do so, find themselves bettered or
cured; subsequently have a. recurrence of the
old symptoms, and, remembering what did
them good before, come around and demand
it. Very possibly the druggist knows them,
understands why they want the drug, or has
sense enough to understand that they are tell-
ing the truth when they make a frank state-
ment of the situation. What is the apoth-
ecary to do? Even if the man wants a deadly
poison, he knows how to take it, wants it for
a good reason, and is bound to get it some-
where. Would my refusing him make him
go off and get a prescription? Not much,
unless mine was the only drug store in town.
Another thing: “I don’t believe there are any
people in the world who have such a mania
for treating their own ailments and exchang-
ing recipes as Americans have. Every street
is full of men who have attended medical
lectures with the idea of being doctors. and
who have abandoned that purpose, but still
think they know enough of medicine to treat
their own maladies and advise their friends.
And, of course, with the American disposi-
tion to play every hand for all it is worth,
they have little confidence in anything but
the most powerful drugs. ' So from these
various directions comes a more or less legit-
imate and certainly honest demand for my
‘cold pizen,’ and I just use my own best
judgment, in each individual case, about sup-
plying it.
“I have a. good deal of call for hydrate of
chloral, but hardly so much as a few years
ago, when it was a’fashion. Bromide of pot-
assium is also in good, steady, and, I fancy,
increasing demand among ladies with weak
nerves and gentlemen of super convivial
habits. The use of morphine is, I should say,
increasing, while that of laudanum and the
crude opium is falling off. When I say ‘use'
I mean improper use of course, and when I
speak of a diminished demand for the crude
opium I except the kind used for smoking,
which is altogether different from the medi-
cinal sort. That does not pass through my
hands at all: and about the call for it I know
nothing. Morphine is generally used hypo-
dermically. It is now practicable to get a
complete outfit for that vice as cheaply as
seventy-five cents, and that, together with
certain supposed'advantages in that method
of administration, has popularized the habit.
Tens of thousands of persons of whom you
would never suspect it are addicted to the
vice. ‘Cocaine'l’ No. There are few or, I
may say, no demands for it, except from
doctm . some of whom, I regret to say, have
got into the habit of demanding it altogether
too frequently. Drugs accredited with n,
power of stimulation of the stomach, heart
or nervous system—especially the latter—are
more and more commonly used. You would
be astonished could you know how many per-
sons have contracted a habit of using capsi-
cum, ginger, calisaya, strychnia, quinine,
digitalis, phosphorus, and the thousand and
one nostrums compounded for stimulative
purposes. I verily believe that at least one
person in every hundred in the community
has such a confirmed habit. ‘Caunabis'lndi-
cusi’ N . There is but little call for it, even
in prescriptions, for the reason, I think, that
invaluable as it is when fresh. of full strength,
and reliable, its active principle is so volatile
that you never are sure of what its effects
will be. Could it be depended upon it would
be one of the least injurious and most agree
able of the intoxicants.”
Another druggist said: “I used to sell a
great deal of narcotic, soporific and stimu-
lant drugs while clerking in a big Broadway
store, but in this new place of my own not
much, as yet. No, I don’t suppose it is be-
cause people have stopped taking them, not
by any means, but simply for the reason that
I have not yet been here long enough for
them to get to know me and feel that they
can approach me with confidence. Persons
who are habitual users of drugs generally
get to be quite secretive about their vice, you
know. I do, however, sell a vast deal of a
very excellent bitter calisaya cordial that I
put up myself; and another preparation, a
tonic, containing phosphorus, strychnia and
some other valuable ingredients. Both are
sold at my soda fountain, and two out of
every three persons at least of those who call
for soda will have one or the other, or some
times both of those preparations. I even
have customers who stop every morning and
get vials of them to take down town to their
01111395 I" or use during the day, and who stop
at night and leave the empty vials to be re-
filled for the next day. At night, at home,
they have big bottles to draw from if they
want to keep up their stimulation.”
The mention of the opium smokers by the
preceding druggist suggested the inquiry of
an exceptionally clever literary man, who
was casually met one day at Yuet Sing’s
store, “whether the breaking up of the
‘joints’ had diminished opium smoking in
New York?” “Not at all,” he replied; “there
is mere of it now than there ever was before.
It is simply carried on with more secrecy,
that is all. The pale faced barbarian has not
the ghost of a show to run J 01111 Chinamau in
his way. The Mongol is too cunning. If he
wants to smoke opium he will smoke opium,
and the only way to make him stop it is to
kill him. But it is by no means Chinamen
alone who ‘hit the pipe.’ There are more
Melican men and women in New York ad-
dicted to the habit than there are Chinamen
who practice it, and. they are by no means
‘the oifscourings of society’-—to quote the
pet phrase of the people who want everybody
else to live ,in their way. Very respectable
men, yes, and women, too, smoke opium.
And the ‘joints’ are not closed. Those known
to the police are, it is true, but I, who am
recognized as one [who occasionally ‘hits the
pipe’ and can be trusted, could show you a
dozen places where you might smoke the wad
of Oriental delight in any degree of style you
pleased.”
A German druggist, who developed in con-
versatiou a conscientiousness almost as big
as his ears or his feet, would not even talk
about the use of drugs otherwise than‘ by pre-
scription, lest he might be violating the law.
He knew nothing about such things, he said,
and was scandalized and horrified beyond
measure when the writer asked him for some
“1.20 grain strychnia pellets.” All he could
stammer in rep] was; “Go owit! Go
ovsii‘J.”—-Ncw Yor ' Sun.
“Riding the Yelldw Pony."
In the Founders’ day procession in New
Haven one of the “Lancasterian school boys”
led a. yellow pony. Few knew the signifi-
cance of the pony until it was explained that
Mr. Lovell, the old schoolmaster, used to dis-
cipline his pupils by laying them cut, face
downward, on the yellow school desks and
applying a rawhide where it would do the
most good. This he called “riding the yellow
pony.” It is said that the man who led the
pony In the procession deserved the honor,
for he once, when a boy, rode the yellow
pony twenty-four times in one day—Now

Friction Increased Electrically.
Methods and apparatus have been doVised
to increase the tractive power of locomotives
and other self propelled rail vehicles by in-
creasing, electrically, the frictional adhesion
between the driving wheels and the rails. It
is claimed that the tractive power can thus
be nearly doubled without ' increasing the
weight of the locomotive, and that sleet and
snow difficulties will be overcome. ‘It is also
claimed that the friction thus obtained is
cheaper than sanding, without its consequent
wean—Chicago News. I
The World’s Quinine.
The yearly production of quinine is esti-
mated to beabout 4,500,000 ounces. This is
chiefly furnished by eighteen factories—one
in Holland, two in England, two in Italy,
three in France, four in the United States
and six in Germany. Quinine is also supplied
by the government plantations in India, and
experiments in producing it in the vicinity of
Tiflis, in the Caucasus, have been so success-
ful that the Russian government 'is arrang-
ing for the cultivation of cinchona on an im-
mense scale.—Arkansaw Traveler.

.‘ INCREASE YOUR PENSION.
Many pensioners borne on the rolls me entitled
loamuch higher rate of pension than they now
receive. Iuagreat majority of cases in which
pension was granted for disease, the pensioner is
entitled to an increase of rate, and in most cases
where it was granted for wounds or injuries the
disability increases each year. As time passes the
disability of all classes naturally increases. Many
were at first rated too low, and it often occurs
that pensioners are unjustly or erroneously re-
duced by examining surgeons. A pensioner is
entitled to increase on a disability not set forth in
his original declaration. The pension laws are
more liberal than formerly, and better rating can
be had for many disabilities. I make a specialty

DESTINY.
Like a shadow that flies from the sun god, we slip
out of life and are gone.
The place where we were is vacant, for who will
remember till noon
The drop of dew like a diamond which pleased at
the glimmer of dawn?
And when the singervhas left us, who cares to
remember the tune?
In the leaves‘ deep drift in the forest what bird is
seeking the one
Beneath whose shelter she builded hcr tedious
love cradling nest?
It has lived, it was used, has perished; now lieth
—its use being done—
Forgotten of sunshine and sengster In the dust
whence it come. It is best. ‘
But wc—we shrink from the leaf‘s fate, and we
murmur: “Soon they forget;
These friends whom we loved, who loved us and
shared in our pleasures and mirth,
Our names are lost in the silence death bringeth,
and no regret
Endureth for us, low lying in green gemmed
bosom of earth.
Oh, mortal, accept the omen; we live, we are used,
and we fall
As the leaf before us has fallen; we pass from
our place and are not;
The living have grief sufficient; content thee to
fold in thy pall
Remembrance and sorrowful grieving, and be'
of the living forgot.
—Clare Beatrice St. George in Chicago Inter
Ocean.
Protection Against “Lazyjndians.”
“Cannot the government protect a man
from lazy Indians who eat up his crops?"
asked an intelligent member of a southwest
ern tribe of a white man whose acquaintance
he had made. A little questioning disclosed
the fact that this Indian had planted ground
and raised some corn. About the time the
crop was ready to gather his wife’s brother
arrived for a visit, and brought his whole
family, and showed no inclination to go away
as long as the corn lasted. His white friend
asked him why he did not turn them away,
but he said he could not. And this was a re-
sult of a state of society over which no indi-
vidual Indian has control, but which is ap-
preciated by very few white men. An In-
dian is just as much bound to share his pro-
visions with his relatives or the members of
his clan, if they desire it, as‘to flu'nish food
for his children. This man saw the injus-
tice of this, but knew no way to escape it
without the help of the government. There
are “lazy Indians” in every tribe, and the in-
dustrious ones are certain to have as many
visitors as they can accommodate, and the
overflow will camp in the front yard. How
many white farmers trying to get a start in
life, even if the land was given to them,
would succeed under such circumstances?—
Science.
Bodily Exercise for Brain Workers.
While in the majority of cases it is not only
‘ useless, but positively harmful, for the brain
worker to aspire to a. high grade of athletic-
ism, it is nevertheless true that brain laborers
should resort to a certain amount Of physical
exercise. This exercise should be taken in the
most systematic and regular fashion, and
should be of a kind to necessitate an active,
expectant attitude of the mental faculties.
The humdrum exercise of the modern gym-
nasium is not well suited to the exigencies of
the brain laborer, for it is very monotonous
and enables the individual indulging in it to
pursue many of its phases in a semi-automatic
manner. ‘
This is by no means true of such exercise as
that afforded by horseback riding, tennis,
cricket, baseball, fencing or boxing. Each
and every one of these demands the alertness
of the perceptive faculties and judgment
which render them in the highest degree
hilarating to the brain laborer. Personally,
I give preference to fencing and horseback
riding, since both of these exercises are read-
ily available and do not require the co—opera-
tion of large numbers of individuals for their
realization—Dr. J. Leonard Corning.
I’ig Bearing in China.
Pig rearing is a great industry in Hainun, '
China. Last year 85,000 were shipped from
Klungchow to Hong Kong, where an unlim‘
ited demand exists for this particular porker.
Owing to the extreme competition, however,
among the shippers, 1887 was not a very
prosperous one. A frequent fraud is prac-
ticed on them. On account of the shallow
water of the port of embarkution the pigs
are frequently sent out to the steamers at
night, and the boatmen take advantage of
their opportunity to exchange big pigs for
small on the way. They bring back a receipt
for the right number from the ship, and ap-
propriate the profit made on the weight of
the pigs—Chicago Times.
‘ Algeria’s Plague of Crickets.
They have a plague of crickets in Algeria.
Their dead bodies may be found on the
ground in some places to the depth of a foot,
and railway trains have been stopped by
them. The only way to stop the advancing
swarms of these insects is to dig a long and
deep trench and erect on the most distant
side a fence of cloth. The advancing insects
strike against the cloth, fall into the trench
and are covered with lime. Tho Algerian
authorities have already spent ‘7 00,000 francs
in destroying them and contemplate spend-
lpg a million francs moreé-New York Tri-
one.
A Clep'l: \V‘h‘o Stole Stumps.
Postage stamps are a big item of expense
in our business,” said an insurance man the
other day., “They are also a constant temp-
tation to dishonesty. thy, I know of a per-
son who had charge of the. stamp disburse
ments of a big firm here in Chicago who
made a regular practice of stealing about so
many stamps every day. These be disposed
of, and in five years had accumulated enough
to buy a house and lot. His employers found
him out at last, and he was forced to deed
them his home to escape prosecution.”—

Easy to Estimate. .
Better locomotives can be bought now for
$5,000 than those for which 3%,000 was paid
during the war. It is easy to estimate how
much was saved by those of res who man-
aged to worry along without locomotives
during the war, and deferred laying ina
stock until this year.—Norristown Herald.
Our Own Temper. ,
Whatever temper of mind we choose will
surely become chronic in time, and will be
known to those among whom we live as our
temper, our own particular temper, as dis-
tinguished from the tempers of other people.

One of the plans by which the Indians
hunted the buffalo was by stampeding a herd
and driving them over a steep precipice to
