Tenth District Items.-farmers In this Sec
ton have nearly finished wheat harvest. The
wheat and rye crops are very hnc-plenty cfstraw
and the heads well filled.
Oats will be failure. the drought having effected
the early sowing and the rust has greatly damaged
the late sown. Some 6elds book as though they
were ready for the reaper, but an examination
shows that the oats have not headed out and Of
course they can't now, ~ the straw is dead.
Those farmers who have commenced cutting
grass say il !, much better than they expected,
the late rains having improved Il wonderfully.
Wheat harvest having been at least two weeks
earlier than usual has greatly interierred with
some farmers in working their corn. and the result
10 that that work has been much neglected.

Forms of Lightning.

A fash of lightning is a very large
spark of electricity-iUst the same thing
that one sees given by an electric ma
chine in q lecture on Natural Philos-
ophy, the only difference being that the
best machine will not give a spark
more than a yard long, while some
flashes Of lightning have been estimated
to be several miles in length. Accord
ing to their appearance, various names
haVe.been given to these sparks in the
sky, though in reality all the several
kinds are one and the same thing. On
warm summer evening one often sees
the clouds ON the horizon lit up with
brilliant glows OF lightning, unaccom-
panied by any sound of thunder. To
this appearance the uam5 Of cheat
lightning" has been given, and the
warm weather is often assigned as It's
cause. in point OF fact the heat light
ming is only thatOf thunder shower
so far off that, while the observer can
see the fash, no sound of thunder
reaches him, and the intervening clouds
veil and reflect the fl sh until it becomes
q glow instead of the sharp streak
usually seen. Where the flash, starting
from one point, branches out and
divides into several parts, it has res
ceiyed the name of forked lightning"
This is usually seen when the discharge
is near the observer. Single flashes
bearing zigzag or crinkled aspect are
denominated chain lightning g"-prob-
ably from their resemblance to a chain
thrown loosely on the ground. Again,
when several discharges occur from
about the same place at the same time,
and are screened by rain or clouds SO as
to light up the heavens with a broad,
bright glow, the title of sheet light
ming" is applied. These four comprise
all the common FORMS There is, how
eyer, one rare manifestation, called
% ball lightning" In this phenomenon
a small globe or ball of apparent fire
rolls slowly along the ground, and after
g time suddenly explOdes, scattering
destruction around. There are few in
stances of this on record, and 40 very
satisfactory explanation has ever ac-
counted for this curious appearance.

Weu Done.



Young hOusekeepers have to acquire
a knowledge of domestic duties by care
full gradation. A Nels1n~street bride
having occasion to boil eggs for break
fast, got the desired time for cooking
and put them in. Her husband liked
his eggs soft, and three minutes was the
time allowed to make them palatable.
She stationed herself il front of the
clock, because she did not dare to de-
pend on her memory, and looked at its
fate with awful intensity.
Her husband found her when he
came into the kitchen, and finding out
what she was doing, asked her how long
the eggs had been in.
One minute" she answered.
He went to the sink and turned over
the pans, and spread out his legs in
front Of the glass, and felt Of his nose,
and moved to the window and stared
out at the scenery. Finally be said:
Aint they about done, Maria? ?"
Not yet, she said.
" 1t seems to me those eggs have been
cooking fifteen minutes" he exclaimed.
Well they amt been cooking but q
minute and half by this clock, J"
she positively asserted.
Then all I've got to say" exclaimed
the 6dgety man, after pause, q is that
it is the longest minute and half that
l ever saw"
There was q pause.
Well, Maria" he broke out, let's
have the eggs, and I'll run the risk. I
know ii is half an hour since 1 came III
here
Do you suppose Pm blind and can't
see u clock! It is only two minutes
these eggs were put in the water. Here's
the hand" said she, pointing to the
hour hand, "and it has only gone over
those two dots, and each one of them is
a minute Amt itP'
Yes, each one OF them is minute
when the minute hand indicates them"
he coincided with smothered sarcasm !;
"and when the hour hand does it, each
one of them is twelve minutes; or in
other words, those eggs have been cook
ing just twenty-fOUr minutes, and as we
have no cold chisel I shall be obliged to
omit eggs on this occasion"
And with this he pumped moodily
into a chair, and she burst into tears.

Yne Largest Elk AntIers Yet seen IL
Montana.
Helena (Montana) Iudcpendent.l

Helena CIoutana) Iudependentl
At the store of Jacob Switzer, last
evening, we were shown the most won
derful specimen of an elk's head and
horns that we ever saw or read Of. The
head measures 30 inches from the crown
to the tip of the nose. From either
side OF the crown the mann branches of
the horns, beginning with a circumfer-
ence of IL inches, rise in massive
strength and marvellous beauty, branch
ing out in the most perfect serpentine
curves, and make q magnificent display
of twenty antlers. From the tip of the
nose to the tip of either branch, follow
ing the curve of the horn, the distance
is rs inches, while measuring from the
center of the crown to the tip of either
brance in a straight line the distance is
40 inches. A space Of 40 inches inter
Venes between the extreme tips of the
branches. The greatest distance from
outside to outside between the main
branches is AZ inches. What is known
as the royal antlers on the right branch
has q singular formation, the result
doubtless of a bruise received in some
furious battle. The most singular, how
ever, is one which appears Just above
the fourth, or sur-rOyal, antIer of the
right branch. where the horn hattens
and assumes very much the shape of a
moose horn, and from the edge of this
palmated portion three additional ant
lers have grown. The feature very
much resembles a cut which we have
seen of the antlers of fossil elk, and
leads TO the belief that this may have
been one of the last survivors of q
species fast becoming extinct. When
alive this animal must have made a
splendid appearance in his native wilds.
Surely none but trained hunter could
have deliberately drawn bead upon
this monarch. We understand that the
noble animal was killed during the
Christmas holidays by Mr.. e. J. Thomas,
proprietor of the keystone House, on
Dearborn, and the head and horns were
by him presented to his friend, Mr..
Switzer, who viii at once have them
dressed and ornamented in way be-
coming such rare specimens.

The Prince of Wales as a Good Fell

[London Letter.I
! was present last night at a cosy club
| gathering of actors and journalists,
when by chance the conversation turned
| on the royal family. Speaking of h. L.
H., the Prince of Wales, one of my
friends, a comedian of some endurance,
said: Some years since the Prince OF
Wales was crossing the stage Of Drury
Lane Theater, smoking a cigar. lie was
accompanied by Mr.. F ChattertOn, who
was at that time manager of the Lane.
A Jealous fireman, praiseWOrthily Oblivl-
Gus of the rank of Mr.. ChattertOn's dis
tinguished guest, stepped up to his
manager, and in low, but respectable
tones called that gentleman's attention
to the fact of the princes smoking. On
retiring, his royal highness, asked MIR.
ChattertOn the cause of his having been
accosted, whereupon the manager re-
peated the fireman's words. In moment
the cigar was put out and the fireman
summoned. After Complimenting him
on his zealand no one can say grace
full thing more gracefully than the
prince-he inquired his name and pre-
sented the fireman with a sovereign.
Some years after that the prince was on
the stage of Court Theater in company
with MIR. Hare, the manager. 10 every
bOdy's surprise he, sitter looking earnest
ly at the fireman who was present, said,
your name is Nicholas, is it nOtY How
long is it since you left Drury LaneT
The interview, as genial and pleasant as
before, ended as before, with the prince
again tipping the fireman with sOyer-
eign." Now this little anecdote-Which,
unlike many of the charming stories
that are purveyed by London cOrrespOn
dents for the American market, is per-
fectly true exhibits a well-known trait
in the Prince of Wales character in
fOrcible light. He never fOrgets. 1t is
a characteristic that is peculiar to the
younger members of the royal family,
but those who best know them declare
that the unfeigned simplicity of the
Prince of Wales is charming. My friend,
George Henty, who was special CORE
spondent of the Standard during the
princes tour in India, tells several aneo
dOtes which prove this. Chatting with
him at Madras, the prince said, 81 had
q letter from my wife this morning.
She tells me she reads all the papers.
She likes the accounts in the Standard
and Daily NeaN8 the best" my wife"
not " the princess" Now it is singular
that not one of the Prince of Wales
brothers, with the exception, perhaps,
Of Prince Leopold, possesses this art of
charming everybody. As for the Duke
of Edinburgh-well, I recollect once
asking a distinguished special CORE
spondent if he had ever come into per-
sOnal contact with Prince Alfred,
wheretO he replied, Yes, and em not
very anxious to repeat the experience"
"WhyP I inquired. "Why, to begin
with, he is rather bore as a converse
tionalist, and he is forever wanting you
to puff the fellows he takes an interest
in. Fiddlers, and Russian painters,
and so forth"

DecIining Years of Fast Horses,

The cruel fate which ovartakes many
of the famous race-horses after they
have lost their power to win money for
their callous masters, is illustrated in
the career of Ambo, the fastest English
mile horse of his day. He was con-
signed to a coach, and at length found
in ditch, stoned to death. Mameluke
was drawing a cab after having won
seventeen races. He was inflicted with
incurable stringhalt, and sold for less
than $50. At length he was worked in
an omnibus. There he was cruelty used,
the stringhalt sadly aggravating his tor
ture. The skin was rubbed from his
shoulders, his hips and his Launches
were bruised in every part, and his stiles
were continually and painfully coming
in contact with the pole. He was seen
by the veterinary surgeon to the London
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty TO
Animals, ami bought to be slaughtered,

When a Borrower is Happy.

Your true borrower is never happy
unless he is allowed to bind himself
legally to repay the money, and will
ioyfuily sign any number of prOmissOry
notes or give you bill of sale on the
rubbish he calls his furniture. "YOu
have my o U" he urges solemnly and
conclusively. Once upon a time q
French Deputy was returned to the
Chambers on the strength of promise
to procure for his native town bridge,
a park, and grant of public money
wherewith to keep it up. But time
passed, the Assembly was dissolved, and
the Deputy had to seek reelection; but
neither bridge nor park nor grant had
been conceded. He knew not what to
saw on the subject when he had to face
the electors; but, in a moment of happy
inspiration, he spoke thus: " Messieurs
and fellow citizens, with regard to our
bridge and park, what said to you two
wears ago repeat in the most solemn
and public manner. A promise with me
il sacred thing; and what | promised
you before I promise you still" And
tbe peasants said to each other: " See,
he Is an honest man; we shall do well
to vote for him; what he says he sticks
to: he does not back out of his prom

81 am sick of love Ieciprocated,

The gilded apple which the world calls pleasure,
And which I purchased with my youth ana

A Texas Cave.
[San Antonio Express. /

A number of gentlemen made an eff
fort q fews days ago to find cave 10
Gated on the hillside about three-fourths
OF q mile above San Pedro Springs. But
little is known by our citizens regarding
this subterranean cavern, A small
opening in it continues downward and
in different directions, to a great depth.
During the year 1874, having been told
that vast amount of money had been
deposited in the cave, Fred. Bader,
Andrew Ronnet and others resolved to
enter the cave and explore it, as well as
test the truth of the report. Upwards
of one thousand feet Of rope were OBJ
tanned and Messrs. RonDet and Bader
descended as far as the rope would al
low them. Three different rooms were
found. The first room was calculated
to be about thirty feet below the surface,
and was 18x40 in size. 1t was with
great difficulty that the third room was
reached, and when the rope was all used
a stream of rushing water was struck.
Mr.. Bader states that he waded into the
stream until the water came almost to
his arm-pits. 1t was very swift, and the
dashing of the water over the rocks and
down declines created a roar that was
constant and almost deafening. An
other expedition is being gotten up to
explore this cave. 1t is only a half
hours walk from San Pedro Springs.

To Please His wife.

George Roe was a poor mechanic at
Norfolk, Va. he and young lady of
wealth and fashion fell in love with
each other. Her parents forbade her
to marry him, but she did it, and went
to live with him in a humble home, de-
claring that she could be as contented
there as though surrounded by luxury.
But she found poverty hard to bear, and
her growing discomfort was observed
with alarm by her husband. During
the holiday season, she missed the social
festivities to which she had been accus-
toned, and grew fretful. The husband
thought that a New Years present
would make her happy, and stole seal
skin sacque for her. He is in prison,
and the wife forgives and consoles him.

GEORGE, win you love me when I'm
old" she warbled, as she sat at dinner
with her young husband. ooh, tell
me, when the sun of my life is slowly
sinking in the golden West, and when
the wild winds of age are whistling
about me, when the snowy flakes Of
time are falling fast upon me, viii you
love me then as now?" "Don't know,
Marie" said the unfeeling brute, as he
backed away from a plate of liver and
bacon; cit depends altogether On what
kind of ballet girls are playing at the
opera house, and what kind of a bundle
you make when you get old.--Edenbitrg
