The Deer Lodge shaft, owned by three
Leadvllle men, had been sunk 1870 feet,
and on Friday afternoon the men were
working in porphyry and iron, and the in
dications were good. A party of capital
lists visited the shaft about noon and con-
sidered proposition by the owners to buy
a half interest for $4,000. They were to
deposit the money in the Leadville Bank
before five o'clock that afternoon or lose
the bargain A few minutes after Eve
o'clock one of the owners of the miue
calmly entered the bank and asked if the
money had been deposited. He received
an answer in the negative, whereupon he
threw his hat mp in the air and executed
breakdown before the astonished gaze of
the bank people. Being asked the reason
for his strange antics, hepaused IN his con-
tortions and said
Waal, gentlemen, kind think them

men down in the shaft struck mineral

A Belgian professor has published
work entitled " Periodicite des Grand Del

warns US that we may be on the lookout
for another deluge of the world. At GER
tain regularly occurring intervals, he main
tains, the waters of one hemisphere are
suddenly precipitated across the equator
and flood the other. The last of these del
uges, which always flow hom north to
south, was that of Noah's time, which was
from the north. Hence, the explanation of
the pleponderance OF water in the Southern
Hemisphere, and of the general southern
trend of North and South America, Africa,
and many minor peninsulas. The next Of
these will flow from the south to the north.
The canse, he argues, is the alternate in
crease and decrease of the ice-caps at the
poles, and consequent change of the earth's
equilibrium. Since 1913 the south pole
has been constantly enlarging, while the
north pole has been proportionately dlmin-

glacial being about 5000 miles and that Of
the northern 1900 miles. When these two
glaciers shall have arrived at their maxi

the earth tilt over and be submerged BY
another great extension, the afteenth Of
the kind that has occurred. In view OF

WRITE THEM A LETTER TONIGHT.

Don't go to the theatre, concert or ball,
But stay in your room tonight;
Deny yourself to the friends that call
And good long letter write
Write to the sad old folks Mt home
Who sit when the day is done,
With folded hands and downcast eyes
And think of the absent one.
Don't sclfishly scribble excuse my haste,
I've scarcely the time to write,''
Lest their brooding thoughts go wandering back
To many by-gone night
When they lost their needed sleep and rest,
And every breath was prayer
That God would leave their delicate babe
To their tender love and care.
Don't let them feel that you've no more need
OF their love or counsel wlse
For the heart grows strongly sensitive
When age has dimmed the eyes.
1t might be well to let them believe
You never forget them, quite;
That you deem 1t a pleasure, when far away,
Long letters home to write.
Don't think thst the young and giddv friends,
Who make your pastime gay,
Have half the anxious thought for you
That the old folks have to-day.
The duty of writing do not put off.
Let sleep or pleasure wait,
Lest the letter for which they looked and longed
Be day or an hour too late.
For the sad old folks at hsme,
With locks fast turning white,
Are longing to hear from the absent one
Write them letter tonight.

deer, reused from his drunken sleep by this
treatment, became SO Troublesome that the
peasant, who was of an inventive turD,
took off his blouse, passed it over the
deer's head, and impovised by means of IL
q sort of strait jacket, which paralysed the
beasts movements. He had just finished
these intelligent proceedings when he per-

Be Content: Work !!

In recent address, President Spofford,
OF the Iowa State Agricultural Society, gave
these counsels: Having chosen vocation,
whether on the farm, or Office, or workshop,
stick to'it. No matter what mans posi-
| tion is, he will row and then become dis
satisfied. The farmer will envy the
preacher, the physician will envy the black
smith, the merchant will envy the teacher,
and the carpenter will envy the lawyer.
A word to you all, my friends Be content;
not that you should sit down solidly and
never aspire to higher position or a nobler
plane of life. There is discomfort that is
divine, and you should heed it's warnings:
but you should strive to excel in that posi-
tion which you haYe chosen. Let the far
ner become better farmer, by reading,
by observation, by association with farmers
that know more than he does. Let the
physician become better doctor by having
big library on his shelves, and bigger
one in his brain. Let tho carpenter be a
better mechanic, aud sho ing his Jack
plane, at the same time consider the grand
principles on which his art is founded and
from the carpenter let him become the
designer, the architect, and let him build
his own monument in structure that will
endure long after all less nobler things have
perished. One other thought: l am GER
tain that none can succeed who are not
willing to work. Every man must work.
Some people have stolen living, and found
a penitentiary or dishonored name.
The hour, the darkest hour, the most ter
rible hour that ever came into the life of a
young man or woman, is that particular |
hour when he or she thought to have dol
lar without fairly and squarely earning it
by work of hand and brain, and earning it |
honestly. The devices of men to get
money by wonderful schemes, are as numer-
GUS as the blades of grass avoid every one
of them! Work, solid, intelligent work,
will always win. 1t will bring gold to
your treasury it will add to your flocks,
and fields, and merchandise and trade.
Nhat9 Work will do more than bring
gold 1t will bring happiness, peace, joy,
blessedness !! 1t will give you good diges
ton, sound sleep, magnificent appetite,
honor, power, glory and children's children
to rise up and call you blessed. But idle.
ness will clothe you with rags, and these
rags will be full Of every sort of filth ana
vermin that will exclude you from that
heaven which You can enjoy now and here
by steady. intelligent, persistent work.

AMERICAN CUSTOMS.

from an English publishing house. Its
author is said to be the worst type of q

tho work Is the manner in which it is
bound. The correspondent says: For a

" bo'kay" for boquet. A very common
way of ending sentences in this country is
the word "some 5heres'' or anyhow"

never saw-indeed, they are perfectly un-

haye noted to you the various changes
time has wrought on that once unsurpassa.
BILE loveliness. But on this occasion. really
her appearance was SO pathetic that it
made the tears spring to my eyes. She
was attired in style which we ladies' nm
derstand as half mourning, and carried in
her beautifully nodded hand large bo.
quet of early spring violets, the chosen en-
blem OF the Napoleonic dynasty, and the
odorous harbinger for all of us of lovely
days to come anon. Her hair is still the.
beautiful blonde so inseparably connected
with her name, and this is something that
puzzles me, unless accept the explanation
which has been given by some observers
that she wears wig. Certainly there is
not thread of gray visible. Otherwise
she is aged indeed. She looks positively
haggard, pale as ghost, her dropping, fa-
tigued eyes encircled with the blue rings OF
care and anxiety. Her faded appearance
formed a great contrast with that of her
son, rosebud of a young fellow, in the
first bud of joyous youth, up to anything
you like, you know; and evidently just
bubbling over with pleasureable excite
meme at the thought of going out to the
seat of war with numbers of the greatest
"swelis " in the British army, One has
only to see these two relics of the imperial
shipwreck to fully understand what fear
full sacrifice it must be for Eugene to give
up her son, even for the short period of
four months, which is supposed to be the
length of his stay in Africa. She is the
French mother to the very letter, quite
different being from an English Or Ameri-
can maternal parent. She has no sang

Egypt's Great Pyramid.
Contemporary Review.

contemporary REVIEW.
The Great Pyramid was originally 4S0
feet high, aud each side of it's base meas
ured S64 feet, dimensions sllgh6ly reduced
by its use as quarry in latter times. The
successive Moslem capitals of Egypt, of
which Cairo is the latest, have been built
of the monuments of Memphis. The city
and its temples have disappeared and left
scarcely trace, yet the larger pyramids
have losr but a small proportion of their
materials, and where there are marks of
ruin it IS rather due to the efforts of ex-
plorers than to the actual removal of the
stones from the site. Seen from afar, on
what Horace we'll calls their royal site, the
yastness of the pyramids strike US as we
approach them and begin to distinguish
the courses of stone, this impression wanes,
to return with an oppressive force as We
stand beneath them. All other works of
man are dwarfed by them, but it must be
remembered that no other works of man.
occupied whole nation, as it is all but
certain the greater pyramids did, for one
or even two generations each. No public
works save the pyramids are known Of the
Memphite Kingdom. When true public
works begin, pyramids become lar less
costly, like that of the wise King who Nex-
cavated the Lake Meris. The object of
each pyramid was to entomb single num-
mied King; sometimes two sepulchral
chambers may point to a double burial in
one case an early monument, the third
pyramid, seems to have been charged by a
later sovereign ; but, in general each mcn-
ument seems to have been designed for an
entombment. The purpose of SO vast 2
labor is no longer mystery, If we may
assume that the Egyptians held the preser-
walton of the body to be essential to immor-
taiity. 1t is certain that all Egyptian
tombs were constructed under the influence
of belief in the Immortality of the soul.
The final aim of the pyramid builders was
that each head of the religion and state
should rest securely in these vast monu-
ments, whose form is a type ofimmortality,
resting on the solid rock, themselves solid
and indestructible, yet pointing heaven
ward. 1t is weakness of practical nature
to laugh with Pliny at the pyramids as
mere monuments of human vanity.

SOMEHOW Or OTHER.

Life las burden for every mans shoulder
Some may escape from its trosble and care:
Miss it in youth and twill come when we're older.
And fit us as close as the garments We wear.
Sorrow comes into our lives unlimited,
Robbing our hearts of their treasures of song;
Lovers grow cold and friendships are sighted,
Yet some somehow or other we worry along.
Everyday toll is an everyday blessing,
Though poverty's cottage and crust we may share :
Weak is the back on which burdens are pressing,
But stout is the heart that is strengthened by PRAYER
Somehow or other the pathway grows brighter
Just when we mourn there were none to befrlend;
Hope in the heart makes the burden seem lighter,
And somehow or other we get to the end.
