AN EX-MILLIONAIRE.

Found by a Friend Carrying a Hod, but Very Happy.

'When Dave Kirk, the well-known inde pendent oil-producer and general foe of monopolies, was at the Monongahela House Pittsburg he told a story which illustrates well the truth of the saying that money doesn't necessarily bring happiness to tbe man who possesses a big lump of it. A few years ago Duncan S. Karns, or ■Dune Karns, to give him the name by which •he was known all over the oil regions, was perhaps the richest man in Butler country. Early in the seventies he was a cardriver in AJleghany City, and yet by 1876 he possessed tracts of the best oil land in Butler country and had a city and a railroad named after him. Domestic in felicity hastened his ruin,and finally he dis appeared from Butler country altogether, and was no more heard of in Pennsyl vania.

While Mr Kirk was traveling in Colorado he happened to read in the little paper of the country town in which he was staying that.a new saloon was to be opened in the neighbouring town of Florence. Mr Kirk is not as a rule much interested in saloon openings, but the announcement of this one riveted his attention because the name of the saloon-keeper was that of his old friend Dune Karns. The initials were the same, and as he had nothing better to do that day, he resolved to drive over to Florence and. see who this D. S. Karns might be. He reached Florence an hour or two after making this resolution and inquired for the saloon. He was directed to a new building of' very modest proportions. It was not completed, and a man at the very moment Mr Kirk got up to it was carrying a hodful of bricks up a ladder. Mr Kirk stood and watched the bricks sandwiched with mortar into a chimney stack, and, when the mason came down for some more material, Mr Kirk called to him. The face which was turned to him was unmistakably that of the Butler country ex-millionaire. Dune Karns also recognized Mr Kirk instantaneously, and they shook hands heartily. Then they sat down on the edge of the mortar bed and talked of old times. Mr Kirk produced some cigars and then Mr Karns aplogized because he couldn't set up anything better than lemonade. But they smoked and pipped lemonade and talked till nearly sun down. Mr Karns had married again, and said he was as happy as a king. He looked right well, better by far, so Mr Kirk thought, than he did when he could sign a cheque good lor a million. In fact, he him self admitted that humble circumstances agreed with him pjerfectly, and left no room for regrets for the wealth he had lost.

A Russian Adventuress.

A Russian adventuress, known by the nick name of "The Golden Hand," has been condemned by a tribunal of Moscow to transportation for life. This extraordinary woman has been married no less than six teen times and is described as being re markably handsome. Her husbands be i longed to all nationalities and creeds. She ran away from two in France and three in Germany, carrying off as much of their property as she could lay her hands on. She was in Vienna in 1878, under an as sumed name. She robbed her different husbands altogether of more than 300,000 roubles. When travelling she invariably made dupes of them or disappeared with their money, jewels and even wifch their watches. She is not unfamiliar with her future abode, Siberia, as she was con demned to transportation once before by a Moscois> tribunal. She had not been there long before tho chief overseer of the place where she was confined married her and took her to Constantinople. She left him in tho course of time and returned to Russia, where she was only identified by the police after two years' residence. She speaks fluently Russian, German, French, < English and Roumanian. The lawyer in trusted with her defence had ah opportunity of experiencing her skill as a pick-pocket. When he went to see her in the prison after fche trial she assured him of her gratitude and asked him to accept as a souvenir a gold watch and chain which she placed on the table before him. He at once recognised ifc as his own. She had picked his pocket and presented him with his own watch.

EXTRACTS OF COAL.

Thousands of Fr. ducts of Which Little Is Known.

Much discussion has been arroused within a recent period relative to the numerous uses that the chemical extracts of coal can be put to. In answer to numerous ques tions, Professor F. L. Slocum, a prominent chemist of Pittsburg, states that innumer able, important and valuable extracts are chemically produced from coal, and find an excellent and ready market in all parts of the country. The uses to which they are applied are many and prominent. In reply to the question, "Is vanilla ex tract a product of coal tar ?" Professor Slocum said : " Why, of course it is, and a better article is furnished from coal tar than from the bean itself. Vanilla is made from tolulu, one of the products of coal tar. It is used for flavouring ice cream and con fectionery, and is a chemically pure pro duct, which vegetable vanilla is not." " There are a great many products from coal that the majority of people know nothing of," continued Professor Slocum. '• There number will reach into the thou sands, and research in this particular branch of ignorance chemistry is bringincr new and rich rewards to scientists every year. One of the hydro-carbons distinctly produced from coal tar is benzole. This is the base of magenta, red and blue colouring matters, and of the oil of bitter almonds. This oil formerly came entirely from the vegetable product, from which it takes its name, but now it is to a large extent made from benzole, and a chemically pure product is secured. The vegetable oil of bitter almonds contains a certain amount of prussic acid, which is a poisonous sub stance.

"Toluene or tolulo is another product from coal tar, which is the base of a great many chemicals. Benzoic acid, which used to be made almost entirely from Slants, is now readily made from toluene, arbolic acid is another product of tolulo ; the latter is a colourless fluid, with a smell very much like crude petroleum, while carbolic acid and salicylic acid, two of its products, are far from being sweet-smell ing- compounds. Yet this same tolulo is the basis of a number of very fragrant products. Wintergreen oil, much purer than from the plant, and generally pre ferred by confectioners and others who use it, is one. Oil of cinnamon, cinnamic acid and oil of cloves are among the mid dle product, which are in great and in creasing demand." As yet the products of coal tar have not been made use of for medicines to any great extent, except as disinfec.ants, but from experiments now in progress, it is hoped to produce pure quinine from chiuolene, one of the coal-tar products, and scientists claim that it is only a question of time when all the alkaloids known, and probably others not now known will be made from coal tar.

It would require a large-sized volume to even begin to enumerate tho commercial products alono of coal tar. Nearly every known colour, except cochineal red and indigo blue, are made, and the latter was produced after nine years of experiment by tho eminent German scientist, Heir Gustavo Byer of Munich, but the manufacture was so expensive that it has never been clone except for scientific purposes. Tho logwood and madder dyes of our grandmothers' days are rarely found in the market now, owing to the cheapness with which the new coal dyes are manufactured. Red ink, which formerly was made almost exclusively from carmine, is now made from eo.ine, one of the numerous coal tar family.

A plucky and praiseworthy act was per formed by Mr Frank Arbon, fourth officer of the s.s. Tarawera, as the vessel lay at the Queen's Wharf, Melbourne. One of the seamen, a man named Nicholson, had fallen overboard while engaged in paint ing the-side of the voßSelfand though three lifebuoys were thrown to him, none of them reached him. At this junc ture Mr Arbon jumped into tho river, and swam to the spot where Nicholson was struggling. Seeing, however (says the Melbourne "Herald,") that he could not reach the place in time to effect a rescue, he seized one of tho lifebuoys, and rising in the water, throw it clean over the upraised hands and arms of the just disappearing sailor. The feat was most cleverly done, and reflected tho greatest credit on Mr Arbon's coolness and activity as an experienced swimmer. The effect of this smart manoeuvre was to keep Nicholson afloat until the arrival of the ferry boat, when he was pickod out of the w»ter in an exhausted condition. The spectators were loud in their praises of Mr Arbon's action. The swollen and turbulent state of the Yarra at tbe time rendered the task of sav ing life a particularly risky and dangerous one.

Some people (says the Wellington " Post") have very singular ideas as to what constitutes retrenchment. Mr Robert Thompson, by his recent discovery of a marc's nest and vain attempt to bring another member into odium, managed to waste two sitting days, involving a cost of probably £300 of public money. For this extraordinary effort in the cause of economy and retrenchment; Mr Robert Thompson has been thanked by the committee of the Aucklrad Financial Reform Association. Truly this association with a high-sounding name is easily satisfied. Butter-balls. —"The proof of a medicine is in the result, though it may also havo admir able qualities in the taking, and ye feci bounrl to testify to the wonderful effects of Jensen's Cod Liver Oil. a bottle of which a friend pur chasedfor his ailing children. Much to his as tonishment, the children took to the cod liver oil as a cat takes to milk, and from a puny con sumptive appearance they are rapidly develop ing tho characteristics and consistency of butter-balls." — " The Temperance World."
