A short time since the owner of that store said that he sold goods 50 per cent cheaper than_any one in Nevada City, and our informant said it was a fact, but yet he could not sell goods enough to pay his rent. The merchant was informed that if he offered genuine $20 gold pieces for a silver dollar he could not dispose of them. ‘‘Why,’’ said the merchant, **because no one in the world would know anything about it except yourself. Advertise in the local papers and you will find out that your goods will go off like hotcakes, and you will make money out ‘of the operation,” ‘‘I can’t afford it,” said the merchant.

A fine ledge has been struck in the bot~ tem of the North Star mine, 2400 feet in depth from the surface, which averages 18 inches in size. It looks extra good. = + e@e > Progressive.

Gre: t Religious Exhibition The only purely religious Exhibition io the World’s Fair City is the new and beautiful Cyclorama of Jerusalum upon the occasion of the Crucifixion of the Saviour, on the corner of Wabash Ave. and Hubbard Court. Thisis not the same scene that was on exhibition there a few. years ago, but a new and very elaborate one, embody -— ing many novel features and effects, Indeed it is claimed to be next to the great panorama of the Chicago Fire, the most expensive work of the kind iy the world. In connection with this superb scene, and without extra charge, is showm the celebrated painting, ‘‘Christ Trumphal Entry Into Jerusalem;” valued at $50,000.

In my office I use incandescent ‘lights, and on, my desk I have an upright bulb, with a standard. The shade was broken on it, and I placed it on top of the deskin a corner between the wall and a cabinet of pigednholes. The other morning’on entering the office I -hung my‘ derby hat on this bulb, Later on I went into an adjoining room, which was dark, and needing some, light pushed the button in the wall that set the electric lamps aflame. The lights gave the place such a cheerful aspect, it being a stormy day outside, that I did not turn them off. At noon, when I was going out to lunch, I reached for my hat, and it was baked: “The incandescent lamp, which had been aglow all the while, had made it very hot, and the leather band was so drawn and contracted that 1 cotldn’t get my hat on my head. It simply sat on the top of my cranium like those tiny hats that variety comedians sometimes wear. [hed it on as best I could and went out. The wind caught and carried it long enough to give it a thorough cooling. It was long before the band re~ laxed and the hat was all right again, so far as fitting my head was concerned. If that wasn’t a first class case of heat contracting and cold expanding, I'd like to know what contraction and expansion Dull Boys and Mechanical Ability. Great has. always been the comfort that the patents of boys dull at their books have had in thinking that they would. probably be particularly bright in some other direction. If there was any doubt about it, the fact could always be proved by stories of artists, writers and musicians, who have been thought dullards at-school. But. mechanical genius and dullness at books do not, it is said, go hand in hand. The direetor of a large western school.of manual training says of such cases: ‘‘As a rule, such a boy fails to show marked ability of any sort. A machinery, who cannot be kept away from engines, the rattle of cogs and the snapping of belts, never gets beyond a sort of morbid, simple curiosity to ‘see the wheels go round.’ He develops no curiosity nor. the ability to do good, accuraté work. His book work isof avery similar chacacinn.! 8% ew Fork . Post. ve “Planet Shadows. There-is no doubt that some of~ the most brilliant planets, such as Venus and shadows, as may be seen any fine even ing in the tropics. ‘ Not long ago M. L. Guiot observed that Jupiter threw a distinct shadow of his watch upon a wall, and that he was able to read a newspar by the light. M. Moye.also finds that fars is able to-cast a shadow, but a much fainter one than Jupiter. He was also able to count the number of words in a newspaper placed in the light of the planet entering by a window, but he could not read them.—Fxchange. i Two I,ecent Inventions, The varied trend of men’s minds is well illustrated by the recent invention ‘of two policeman’s billies, one of which contains knife blades that shoot out from strument, while the other is fitted witha rubber cap to prevent the infliction off unnecessary pain. President Angell of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals prefers the latter.—Boston Transcript.

Nude Art at the World’s Falr: A good deal of very excellent satire bas appeared:in the press concerning the unwillingness of the Chicago fair managers to exhibit drawings from the nude model submitted by the pupils of a school of art in Philadelphia. Other things being.equal, we should hardly expeet Chicago to be sitting in judgment on the morals of Philadelphia. Philadelphia in this case has found many chanipions in the press_of the east, and Chicago has been very skillfully and very pungently rebuked and instructed as to ‘what may be decently done in art schools. Yet sotnething is to be said for Chicago, and it will do neither Philadelphia nor New York any harm to hear and heed it. No one who knows what the drawing of the human figure requires will now dispute that study from the nude is the only way in which adequate knowledge and skill, both in observation and execution, can be aequired. But does it follow beeause such studies are necessary that they are proper objects to exhibit to a miscellaneous crowd of visitors? “For our part we have our doubts and very serious doubts. In the studio and the classroom peculiar conditions exist, the most potent of which is the intense occupation of the minds of the students in their work, and another the general recognition of conventions, which, to say the least, are not those of the ticket holders to the Columbian exposition. Drawings that it is not only well but indispensable to make, and which may be interesting and instructive on the easels of students or the walls of a classroom, cease to be instructive to the eyes of the chance visitor, and, to put it with as much reserve as possible, become interesting from quite other causes.—Harper’s.

Falcons Ii Japan. In the olden. times in Japai all the dai‘mnios (similar tothe old English lord) had great sport with falcons, as they went out to the field to catch other birds with faleonss The falcons were ta:med well and used to catch large birds, mostly cranes, When people now go out hunting with falogns, the men in charge hold the falcons upon their fingers. As soon as Ghe sees any bird he lets the faleon rush at the bird; as soon as the falcon reaches the bird he bites at the throat and throws the down to the ground. Meanwhile the hojder runs to the . where they are afid catches both of t Falcons are not large birds, but as they belong to the eagle family they are strong and brave and never afraid togo at any bird to kill it, but the men in charge of falcons of course take great care in feeding and taming them.—Chicago News-Record. The Blue of Sapphires. Star sapphires are generally of a grayish blue tint, and the star is exhibited in its greatest perfection when looked at by the light of the sun or a candle. The sapphire is found of all tints and shades of blue, but the color which approxifates to the shade formerly called “bleu du roi” is the most ‘valuable. A really fine sapphire should appear blue by artificial lightas well as by day. This stone is found in crystals generally of much “jlarger size than the ruby. The-name “sapphire” is perhaps the only one which runs through all ae with very slight alteration—the Hebrew name sapphir, the Chalda sapirinon, the Greek zaffiros, the Latin sapphirus, we, —Cinginnati Enquirer.

There are no better cockfighters in the world than the Mexicans, and as public opinion sanctions the sport the enjoymen of everybody is altogether fran‘. Théacme of the sport is reached when the apparently vanquished bird, after having been completely buried in the dust of the arena to stanch his blood, suddenly Tises as if from the grave, and with. one blow from the spur slays his astonished rival-in the act of crowing over his supposed victory.—San Frenctsod Chronicle.
