Why She Didn't Catch It.

46IAU6u1t OeulOCr8Cs
One of our prominent merchants was
informed day or two since, when he
went home to tea, that there was q
mouse in the sitting-room; it had run
in there during the afternoon and they
had shut the door to keep it in until
some one came to catch it. "Well. whv
didn't you catch it?" said the gentle
man to his wife as he started for the
sitting.room, banging the door pretty
sharply behind him. The ladies-there
were two or three callers present-wai-
ted in breathless silence and were soon
startled by yell that sent the lady Of
the house into swoon and one of the
callers to tho rescue. Opening the door.
there was the gentleman with his pants
half off, both hands grasping tie anti
podes of the small Of his back and he ex-
ecuting Modoc war dance in the mid
die of the room. The lady said. "What
is itp" The gentleman said, <.You
clear out and send my wifel" Soon a.
cold water and camphor had revived
her, the lady Of the house went in and
quiet was soon restored. Inquiry elic-
tied the fact that when the gentleman
went in and discovered the mouse he
went for it at once and the mouse went
up the leg Of his pantaloons and got in
such position that he could not be
shook out and fearing he would bite as
we'll as scratch he seized him with both
hands and then found it impossible to
get his pants off alone. When the
mouse was finally removed his wife qui.
city remarked, "You see now why I
didn't catch its" The gentleman said
he did.

gave them away to cities; and Nacias
declined an offer from Attalus of ELS,

other Medea; and NJ. Agrippa paid to

consists of coarse particles. 1t is o.

''RusTY GOLD"

The average quantity obtained from .
pan full of the soil is Insignificant,
but by means of sluicing this particu.
lar ''pay streak" may prove profitable
for short time. 1t is sure to be ex.
hausted soon, however. The finding
of such placer is but stroke of good
luck among thousand disapointments.
1t creates furore which lasts for
week, and draws hundreds of miners
from their original claims, but to find,
perhaps, in the same gulch where the
brilliant discovery is made, and but a
few feet away, naught but baf1ed hopes.
Presently they will learn that the
Black Hills is not q country for the
poor mans delving, except as an agri-
culturist. Mining will prove success
here only by a judicious use of capital.
The only instances of an
ENCOURAGING YIELD OF GOLD
have been those in which weeks of dill
igent toll have been rewarded by day
or two Of brilliant success and subse-
quent nearly barren results. The pro-
portion of unrequitted labor is 50 great
that it dissipates profit.
On Lieutenant Colonel Dodge vouch.
ing for its truth I gave the statement
in d former letter that the six miners
operating sluice on the ''Bear Hole
Claim" in Custer's gulch had in one
day got thirtY-one penny.weights of
gold. Subsequent Investigation proves
that the ''honest miners" skilfully
practiced deception upon. the COM
manding officer and caused to be weigh
ed in his presence the result of three or
four days labor as that Of one. The
evident object Of the majority of the
squatters upon this Indian reservation
is to hold as many claims as is possi-
BE until the conclusion of bargain
with the Sioux may give them titles,
when, under the spur of gold excite
ment, they may readily sell them to cap
italists. I Thoroughly believe that they
recognize the futilit1 of poor men at
tempting to mine by the crude means
which they alone possess. Those who
have had little experience do not dis
semble!their discouragement, and num-
oers of them are gradually moving out
of the Hills. The old miners who
hold claims, however, profess greater
confidence than they feel and are look
ing forward to profitable speculation
after the Indian negotiations are con-
sumated. If the government finally
opens the country to settlement in
vestment in mineral lands here should
be made with the greatest caution.

AN INSANE PHYsIo1AN.-Ellen
Case, a young woman employ
ed as domestic servant at Oak
land, CAL, was attacked by a trivial
malady, and DR.. Pentack was
called in. This DR.. Pentack had
long been known as an odd man
full of freaks in professional and
social conduct, yet he hada reputa-
tion for skill in the practice of
medicine, and enjoyed a large
practice. Really, he was a ma
MAC, and insanely in love with
the girl whom he was summoned
to treat. He had made some ad-
vanees which she had repulsed.-
The sight of her i'll put the idea
into his erazyhe that if he could
got two quarts of her blood he
could construct from it an ex-
act counterpart Of her. This
counterfeit creation, he supposed,
would be endowed with life, and
be in all respects like the original.
He announced that it would be
necessary to bleed the girl, aud
he actually let out from her arm
the two quarts that be wanted,
taking it away in a pail. The
operation was injurious to the
patient, and nearly killed her. An
other physician was sent for, and,
upon hearing what DR.. Pentack
had done, he communicated to
the police his belief Of that prac-
titioner's insanity. A visit to
Pentack's residence was made at
once. He was found boilingthe
blood in kettle, and mixing va.
rious chemicals with it.He begged
to be let alone in his experiment.
declaring that his process was cer-
tain to evolve living woman
within q few-minutes if he was
not disturbed. The officers arrest
ed him, and heis now in an asylum,
where he talks about nothing but
his process of making fac-similes
of human beings from their blood.

PRAYING WITH GHnDREN.-A.
minister had been talking with a
young mother on the Importance
of prayer for the children, and
asked her whether she ever pray
ed with, as we'll as for, her, little
ones. She SAID she had not, as she
feared they would be restless and
she embarrassed but nevertheless
she promised to try. As evening
came she noticed that her daugh-
ter seemed unusually peevish, and
so she thought it best to take her
little son first. Willie was a bright
lad Of only five: years, but, when
his mother whispered her wish to
pray with him, he gladly put bis
hand in hers and knelt by her side.
AS he heard his own name men,
toned before the Lord, a tender
hush seemed to fall upon his
young spirit, and he clasped his
mothers fingers more tightly as
each petition for his special need
was breathed into the ear of the
Great Father. When they rose
from their knees Willie's face was
radiant. "Mamma, mamma" he
said, 'I'm glad you told Jesus my
name; now He'll know me, when
I get to heaven"

How TO Look YoUNG.-HoW is
it that some men, thought to be so
old, still so young, whilst
others se7be so young, must still
look old? The cause lies very
frequently within themselves. NJ.
Rant once on being asked the rea-
son said: II never eat but one dish
at dinner; and never get drunk.
My walking keeps my blood in
circulation ; my simple diet pre-
vents indigestion; and n ever
touching ardent spirits, my liver
never fears being eaten up alive"
But he forgot to add one Of the
greatest causes Of all of lasting
youth, "a kind, unenvious heart. !"
Envy can dig as deeply in human

The EFFECT OF CHINEsE.-Some
man has been telling&a a female
correspondent Of the PhrenoEogi-
cal Journal how his head got out
of shape. She says: Gle spoke
Of the astonishing effect the study
Of the Chinese language had on
the shape of his forehead. Over

quarters of an inch in width

sounds, as We have in our Ian.
guage, they have thirteen, and
it is the most difficult matter
at first for an American to dis
tinguish between them Then
he gave examples Of these diff.
:ferent nasal sounds, but to my
uneducated ear they seemed
quite alike. Foreigbteen months,
he said, I'VE did little but study
the language, and during that
time my forehead changed won

A GOLD Do1LAR.-Benton used
to say: A man with gold dollar
in, his pocket has that much positive
value, representing so much labor,
SO much food, so much clothing or
other property. He may fall down
a steep place and be killed, and years
after, if his bones are found the re-
mains will be worth the gold dol
Lar that fell with him. But the man
who has a paper promise to pay has
that which depends for value on
the action of a board of directors
or government over which he has
no control, and may be worth fifty
cents, forty cents or worthless.

A BAKED BIBLE.-There is a BIZ
bic in Lucas county, Ohio, which
at one time contained some very
warm scriptural texts. Itbelonged
to a Mr.. Scheboldt, a native Of
Bohemia. 1t was formerly the
property Of his grandmother, who
was a very devout Protestant. Du.
ring one of those unfortunate Pc
riods when religious prosecutions
were common in Austria, a law
was passed at the instance Of the
Roman Catholics that every Bible
in the hands of the people should
be surrendered to the priests,
to be burned. Mrs. Scheboldt
determined to save hers, and when
the party came to search her house
she had just prepared huge
batch of dough for the oven, and,
taking her precious Bible, she
wrapped the yielding doug b
around it and quickly deposit
ed it in the oven. Here it
was thoroughly baked, but was
saved uninjured from the fiery fur
mace of the priests. 1t has pass
ed through several generations
as a memorial Of the days when
men were not allowed to worship
God in accordance with the die
tates of their own sconsciences.
