Grandma Gruff said a cariocs
thing
'Bays may whistle, but girls m uj:
sing.''
That's the very thing I heard her
say
To Kite, no longer than yesterday.
"Buys my whistle.' Of course they
may,
It they packer their lips the proper
way,
But for the Ufa of me, I can't see
Why Kate can't whistle as well as
me.
'Boys may whistle, bat girls mast
sing;"
Now I cll that a curious thing,
li uojscau w-bintle, wb cn't girls
toof
l't8 ibe easiest thing iu the world
to do.
"First you do that, then you do
tbH
Juat like ou wt-re xiug up for a
kirt.''
It's a very p or girl, that's all I say,
Who Cditi't moke out to do that way.
"Boys may wbisi.e, bat girl may
not j"
A whistle's song with the noise
kuooked out
Strayed off somewhere down in the
throat,
Eveiytbiug lost but the cbangefil
note.
So if boys cau whistle aud do it
well,
Why cannot girl, will somebody
tell?
Why can't they do what a boy can
I do!
That is the thing I should like to
! know.
i
I I went to father and asked him why
G,l,a oaldo't whistle as well as I
Aud he said : ''The reason that
girls must sing
Is because a gill's a singular thing.''
And grandma laughed till I knew
she'd ache
Wbeu I said I thought it all a mis
take. "Never miud, little man," I heard
her say ;
"They will make jou whistle enough
some day."

Gold lo Ocean Water.
The waters of the ocean contain
gold. In 1851, Malaguti and Du
rocber deteimined the occurrence of; by chemical investigations into the
silver, tut did not extend their in- eompoa'tion cf rock?. Certain sed
qoiries into the question of the' imentry formations contain notable
presence of gold In sea water. This, quantities of it. It has been found
fact was first accurately determined 1 in some aluminous shales in Sweden
by Snstadt in 1872 Hisexperi-
i meois were not quantitative, bat be
; stated, iu pareHb s s, ttat the a
i mount wng "certainly less than one
grain iu a ton." Mere recently,
however, Muuster found an average
of live mi ligrames per ton. Iu en-
j deavorillg to ailiVe at an approxi
I
mate eftimare, it mnsc oe rem cm
b red ttiat local conditions, sncb as
the temperature of the water, will
affect the amnnnt in solution. Son
tadi' re$eaiche8 were made witb
water obtaintd near Ramsey, in tbe
Isle of Man, while Munster got bis
from tbe Kristiania Fjord. In eacb
case tbe t?a water was tbat ot a
northern latitude. In warmer re
gion it is probable tbat precipita
tioo, due to tbe preoeoce of putres
cent organic matter, may diminish
the amount of gold held in eolation.
Let oe, however, take live milli
grammes (eqaivaleut to one-thir
teenth of a grain) as an approxima
tion This, tboagh in itseif a min
ute quantity, will be fonnd to rep
resent an enormous total amount of
gold in tbe watera of tbe ocean.
From tbe result obtained from tbe
oarelui sounding carnea out by
tbe Challenger aud similar scienti
fic espenditiouH, it bat been com
puted tbat tbe oceau baa an average
depth ot 2,5C9 latbome, and tbat it
contains lour buudied million cnbic
o ilea ot water. This is equivalent
Cj about 1,837,030,272,000 million
too., which upon the basis of five
milligramme per ton woold repre
sabt 10,250 million tons of gold. By
way of contrast, it m&y be a$ded
tbat, according to Soetbeer. Leech
and others, tbe gold production of
, the world, from tbe beginning; of
1493 to the end ot 1893 a peried of
exactly four centuries baaaunuut
ed to only 5,020 tons. The present
output is equal to about 200 toos
per annum,
The gold . in sea water is kept in
solution as an iodine. The amount
of free iodine present in the ocean
is very miuute, bnt a large propor
tion ot that element occurs combin
ed as an iodate of calcium. From
the results of a series of six experi
ments, SonsUdt found that a cubic
mile of sea water coutains about
17,000 tons of isdate of calcium, or
11.072 tons of iodine. This repre
nents the occurrence - in the eutire
ocean of no less tbau 4,428,000 rail
lion tous of iodine-.
The iodine which ma'tnains the
gold in solution i obtained troru the
Iodate of calcium. Gold is soluble
iu extremely dilute, notations of io
dioe, which, under ordinary condi
tions, are iu turn readily reduced
by organic matter. That the gold
in the sea is not precipitated ia due
to the presence of the iodate ot cal
cium, in which it is not soluble, but
which, being readily decomposed by
2utresacle orgauic matter, liberates
the iodine required to keep the gold
in solution.
There is reason to believt that the
eea waters of to day contain much
less iodine than those of former
geological periods. That there is
so little free iodine iu the ocean is
due to causes parallel to those
which biiug about the noteworthy
abaeuce of carbonate of lime. Ma
line animals abstract the latter
while marine plants absorb the for
mer. How great is the work done
in this way is evidenced by the di-
I tneosions of the coral reels and by
the extent of the foramiuiferous and
other marine limestones.
The abstraction ot iodiue is no
lsa striking. Seaweed?, and more
particularly those which grew at
great depth h, are the chief source of
the iodine of commeice. When,
after a storm, such seaweeds are
cast upon the shores of Griat Brit
tain, France and Sweden, they are
collected and burned, aod from
their fused ashes, termed ''help,'
tne iodine is subsequently extracted
by a simple chemical process. From
13,000 kilos, of help, about. 10 kilos
of sodium carbonate and 15 kilos of
iodine are obtained.
That iodine is not now so plenti
ful in the sea as during former geo
logical periods has been suggested
ami aleo in certain varieties of coal
aud turf. Tbe saline waters of sev
eral springs contain large amounts
of it. Evu rain water has been
known to give a recognizable iodine
reaction wbec tested, such iodiDe
having been obtaiued by the agency
of winds wbicb buve been blowing
ovtr certain areas of the sea where
it was being liberat d by th action
of organic matter upon the iodate of
calcium. Ex.
Love at One CJ 1 1 inputs
Some years ago, there nsed to be
poiuted oat, upou the streets in
Glasgow, a man whose intellect had
been unsettled by a yery strange in
cident. When a joutb, he had hap
peoed to pass a lady on a crowded
thoroughfare a lady whose ex
treme beauty, though dimmed by
tbe intervention of a vail, and seen
but for a moment, made an iodelli
ble impression upon bis miud. Thia
lovely vision shot rapidly past him,
and was in ao instant lost amid the
common-place crowd through which
it moved. He was so confounded
by the tumult of his feelings tbat be
could not pursue or even attempt to
see it again. Yet he never after
ward forgot it.
With a miud fall of distracting
thoughtsand a heart rilled alter
nately witb gushes of pleasure and
of pain, the man tlowly left the
spot where be bad remained for
some minutes as it were thunder
struck. He soon after, without be
ing aware of what be wished, or
what he was doing, found himself
agaiu at the place. He came to tbe
very spot where be had stood when
the lad v passed, mused for some
time- about it, wut away a little
distance, aud then came upaabe
had come wbeu be met tbe exqaisjte
subject ot bis reverie unconscious
ly deluding himself with the idea
tbat this might recall her to tbe
spot. She came not ; be felt disap
pointed ; he tried again : still she
did not pans. He continued to
traverse the place till evening, when
the sti-eet became deserted. By and
by, he waa left alone. He then saw
that all hi" fond effort were vain,
and he left the silent lonely street
at midnight, with a soul as desolate
as that gleomy thoroughfa .
For weeks afterward be was nev
er out of the streets. He wander
ed hither and thither, otten visiting
the place where he had first seen
the ottject of hia attracted

he bad a better chance of seeing her
there than auj where else. He Ire
quented every place of public a
musemeut to which he- could pur
chase admission, and be made tbe
tout of all the churches. All was
in vaiu. He never again placed bis
eyea upon tbat angelic countenance.
She waa ever preee&t to bia mental
optics, but she never appeared again
in a tangible form. Without her
etential presence, all tbe woild be
side was to as a blank a wilder
ness.
Madness invariably takes posses
sion ot tbe mind which broods over
much or over-long upon some eu
groHNiug idea. So did it prove witb
this singular lover. He grew innot

ever, was little more than mere ab
fraction. Tbe course of his mind
was stopped at a particular point.
After this be made no further pro
gress iu an intellectual attainment
He acquired no new ideas- Hi3
whole soul stood etui. He waa like
a clock stopped at a particular hour,
with some things, too, about btm
wbicb, like tbe motionless indices
of tbat machine, pointed out the
date of the interruption. As, tor
instance, be ever after wore a pecu
liarly long-backed and high-necked
coar, as well aa a neckcloth of a par
ticular spot being the fashion of
tbe year when he saw the lady. In

of a former day It was evident
that he clung witb a degree of fond
ness to everything wbicb bore relas

Nor could be endure anything that
tended to cover up or screen trom

imes to preserve upon his lips, as
long as be could, th imaginary de
tght which tbey had drawn from

When last seen, this unfortunate

street, especially if at all good-looking,

A Famous North Carolina
Saying.
There are tew saying more
widely kuown throughout this coun
try tbau tbe following : "The Gov
ernor of North Carolina said to the
Governor of Sooth Carolina, 'It's a
long time between drinks."
We have been asked many times
to give tbe circumstances of a say
iug which originated in North Cat"
olina and has now become almost
nAtronal in it uee. .Even travelers
in foreign countries frequently bear
this famous expression where least
expected. The history oi tnis say
ug, aa given to us by a friend, i as
follows :
The story runs, tbat early in tbe
century a native orth Carolinian
who bad moved across the border
into South Carolina was forced to
fly back again to escape arrest. The
Governor of South Carolina
straightway issued a requisition on
tbe Uoveiuor ot North Carolina for
the fugitive criminal ; but tbe latter
Governor hesitated. The criminal
had aisny and influential friends
Family the South Carolina execa.,
live, with a la ge retiuue, waited on
hia official brother at Raleigh, the
capital of North Carotin. The vis
itors were received with all due
honors ; a banqaet was given them ;
wine and brandy were served
When at laMl the decanters and
gl.tMNen bad been removed tho Gov
ernor of Mouth Uaroliua rose to
state his errand. A lorg and acri
monious debate followed. Tbe
Governor of South Carolina lost Iun
temper. Rising ouoe more to his
feet, be taiijl :
"Sir, you have refused my just
demand aud offended the dignity of
my office and my State, Unless
you at ouce surrender tbe prisoner
L will return to mv capital, call out
the militia of the State aud take tbe
fugitive by fores of arms. Gov
ernor, what do you say 1"
All eea were turned ou the
Governor of North Carolina. The
latter roae blowly to his feet aud
beooned to a servaut .who stood
some dif.tauce away. His bearing
was firm and dignified, as became
bis position. He was slow about
answering, and again tbe Governor
of South Carolina demanded, "What
do you say ?" And the Governor
of North Carolluo answered :
'I say, Governor, that it's a loug
time between drinks.''
Tbe reply restored good humor.
Decanters and glasses were brought
out again, and while tbe visitors re
mained if an j one attempted to re
fer to the diplomatic object of the
visit he was cut abort by tbe re
minder that it was a long time be
tween drink?.
When the visiting Governor was
ready to return 'tome he was escort
ed to the State line by the Governor
ol North Carolina; and tbey parted
tbe best of friends, Tbe fugitive
was never surrendered. N. C,

Rose Growing and Pressing In
Saxony.
Tbe experimental rose planta
tions started two years ago in the
neighborhood of Leipzig have given
such brilliant results that tbey are
thu Belgian consul states, being ex
tended. The plants have thriven
well through the long and severe
winter of 1892-93, and their condi
tion in May left nothing to be desir
ed. It has been shown tbat it was
a false idea to suppose that these
flowers require Oriental heat to
prosper and ecqoire a delicate per.
fume ; the experiments at Leipzig
have proved that a cool temperature
and even a little damp, is tbe first
condition of a good yield, while
great heat ia the enemy of rose. A
special factory has been established
in the middle of tbe plantations by
tbe the bouae which ma1e the first
experiments, and it is to be put in
operation this summer. Provision
is made for dealing each (ay we
quote the consul 44 with 50,000 ki
logs. ot leave, producing at least,
about 40 kilogs. of oI, water, and
pomade ot roses, valued at 40,000 to

factory will have three boilers pro
vid nz 300 square meters of heated
surface, and tbe rosts will immedi-
ahlr when thev are plucked, be
transferred to the macerating Jar?,
where, thanks to this procedure,
tbey will deposite their perfume m
alt its freshness and delicacy. Oaly
the quantity ot leaves rf quired at
tffe moment will be collected, a few
miuutea sufficing to transfer the
leaves trom tbe plant to tbe ma
chines." Commerce of 26th Jaly
add : "This expedition is favorably
contrasted with tbe procedure fol
lowed ia Tnrkey and ip France-
where frequently tbe rosea plucked
in the morning are only distilled in
tbe evening- As to the oil of rose
