AS THEY AvERAGE.-The average
boy believes that he may be happy when
he is man, and can do as he likes; the
average man finds that he cannot do as
he likes, and sighs to think he was not
aware of the fact when he was boy.
The average maiden imagines that
most husbands are Indifferent to their
wives, and that wife may keep man
lover until he is old enough to die; the
average wtfe finds it about all she can do
to bear and train her children, cook, wash,
sew, keep her house in "halfdecent or
der" and twice year visit her mother
who lives six miles away.
The average teacher imagines that
never yet was one so tried as he, nor had
q harder lot, and endured it better.
The average parent of the average
scholar things that in some things the
present teacher might be improved on.
The average spinster believes that no
body but herself knows just now to bring
up children; while the aged grandmoth-
er realizes that most people have to bring
up at least Two before they can know
how to bring up one properly.
The average man or woman who has
never had the care of children Won
ders chow people can have their houses
so cluttered up and budgets in every
chair" and they imagine that a persons
bump of order M be small indeed who
cannot successfully manage by moral
suasion any five ordinary boys and girls.
Those who love and have the care of
children know that they are not like
grown people, but must have both play
things and pets, and physical as we'll as
mental exercise, even though there may
be budget in every chair, and muddy
footprints on the floor. So it comes to
pass that on an average each is happy in
his own conceit, and would not change
himself, his views, and his lot in life
with any man.

Outwitting q Lion.

A Bushman, while long way from his
home. was met by a lion. The lion assl,r-
cd that he had his victim completely in his
power, began to spot and daily with him
with feline jocosity wlicl, the poor little
Bushman failed to appreciate. The lion
would appear at point in the road and
leap back into the jungle. to reappear lit
tic further on. But the Bushman did not
lose his presence Of mind and presently
hit upon a device by which he might out
wit his toe. This plan was suggested by
tie Hons own conduct. Aware that the
brute was ahead Of him, he lodged to the
right, and feeling pretty sure OF the lions
whereabouts resorted to the the course of
quietly watching his movements. When
the lion discovered that the man had dissa-
peared from the path he was good deal
perplexed. He roared with modification
when he espird the Bushman pceping at
him over the grass. The Bushman at once
changed his position, while the lion stood
irresolute in his path. following with his
eye the shifting black man. In another
moment the little man rustled the weeds.
vanished, and showed again at another
point. The great brJe was first confused
and then alarmed. 1t evidently began to
dawn upon him that he had mistaken the
position OF matters, and that lie was the
hunted party The Bushman, who clearly
recognized what was passing in his enemy's
mind. did not pause to let the lion recover
his startled wits. He began to steal gradu-
ally towards the foe. who now in a COM
plete state Of fear and doubt. fairly turned
tail and decamped. leaving the plucky lit
tie Bushman master Of the situation.-

CrenlatinE Dead AMima ais.

A stranger, whose horse succumbed tc
the heat near town, not wishing TO incul
the trouble or expense of having the dead
animal hauled ont and buried, purchased a
gallon OF coal oil, and after pouring it over
the uefilnct animal, applied match. In
one hour the cremation was complete
nothing but the hoofs remaining. The
animals tat, in addition to the oil, proved
sufficient fuel to consume the carcass. We
are inclined to think this simple way of
crem;ting dead animals will prove great
sanitary blessing during the warm months.

Mr.. EDITOR.-Allow ME TO say few

Light, Who move lcre frotn T0"}iC ter
this season. Mrs. l. "ht said TO some Of
the neighbors that before moving here
she had an attack of the diphtheria, and
cured herself by the use Of kerosene oil as
agargle, swallowing some: but the rene
dy was so simple that our citizens didn't
think anything OF it until five of Joseph
.Jelley's children were. taken down with
diphtheria. Their Threats became swollen
and csnkered terribly. Mrs. Jelly sent
after her neighbor, Mrs. Miliette. who had
lost a son by the disease, to ascertain
whether it was really diphtheria or not.
Mrs. Miliettc pronounced it diphtheria in
very dangerous form. Mrs. Jelly said
she would use Mrs. Lights remedy
Kerosene eil-w!!ich she gave her children
Ms gargle. also bad them swallow some.
The children recovered rapidly, and in a
few days were ont on the street.
Another neighbor by the name ofLouisa.

children taken with diphtheria, and cured
them with kerosene.
William Emery had four children taken

covered.
Robert Gillette was taken down, and
cured himself with kerosene.
John Reynolds. of lngraham. had a
daughter. and niece cured by kerosene oil
after they were given up for Death by the

What is most astonishing is that not

Luck and Labor.

Many people complain of their bad luck
when they ought to blame their own want
of wisdom and action. Golden, distin-
guished writer in England, thus wrote
about luck and labor:
Luck is always waiting for something
to turn up.
Labor, with keen eyes and strong will,
turns up something.
Luck lies in bed, and wishes the post
man would bring him news of a legacy.
Labor turns out at six O'Clock, and with
busy pen. or ringing hammer, lays the
foundation of competency.
Luck whines.
Labor whistles.
Luck relies on chance.
Labor on character.
Luck slips down to indulgence.
Labor strides upward to independence.

The Colorado Bonanza.

EDITOR HERALD: Thinking that
perhaps some of your readers might
be interested in brief description
of this wonderful country, / send
you short letter. The ore yield
from the different mining camps
around Leadville for January last
was $625 coo 1t has been steadily
increasing, until 4 yield for this
month will be o. $5,000,000, and
before the end of lis year the yield
will be not less IL N $l2, 900, 900 per
! month. The ore carries from 10 to l.
500 ounces ofsilverper ton. Not only
in the immediate vicinity of Lead
vile are these rich ores found, but
in every direction within radius
of twenty miles there are hundreds
of mining camps where rich ore is
extracted in paying quantities by
the pick and shovel. Within nine
months nearly 10000 mining
claims have been located in the
vicinity of Leadville. The richest
mines are located on Carbonate
Hill, Iron Hill and Fryer Hill. AT
Carbonate Hill Judge Pendery of
Kansas has just struck remark
aply rich vein on ground where all
the experts said there was not even
a "show." Every day some enter
prising man is repaid for perhaps
months of hard work and prIvation
by "striking it rich." Eastern
capital is flowing in here by mil
lions to develop the mines. Hun
dreds of the leading capitalists of
| New York are interested in mines
and in mining machinery. AT Sill
yer Cliff in Custer county, fifty
miles west of Pueblo, mines have
been opened that exceed in rich
ness even those at Leadville. The
groupings are SO rich that you can
kick out good paying ore with your
boot heel. Provisions of all kinds
sell at about one-fourth the prices
obtained in Leadvills. The ore is
very easily worked, and increases
in richness as the mine increases in
depth. Hundreds of men have
made fortunes Mt all these mining
camps, and hundreds have lost
their last dollar in unsuccessful
prospecting. Many who have
made fortunes have gambled them
away. Gambling is the miners
curse, and more money is daily lost
and won at Leadville than in any
of the gambling centres of Europe.
Draw poker Is the favorite game,
and even Schenck might get q
point or two from some of the
Leadville fraternity. One instance
is reported of man having won
over $4,000 at sitting. Ever
since every other lucky miner who
arrives in town thinks he can win
as much if not more.
Anyone coming to the Colorado
mines must expect rough fare and
hard work, unless his pockets are
we'll filed. But to the industrious,
careful miner these mines offer in
ducements to be found no where
else. More anon,
