Ancient Miners, Tools.

The miners in the Silver Belt mine in
Arizona recently made a remarkable dis
covery, showing that the mine was
worked ages ago. The tenfoot bonanza re-
Gently uncovered, continuing to widen
at every stroke of the pick, left an over
hanging wall on one side that appeared
more like loam than the ordinary wall or
vein matter Of quartz ledge, and sosoft
that it caved in such way as to obstruct
the work. They then went up above
the cave and decided to run down on the
ledge in new place, so as to get under
the cave, in order to have solid ground
to work on, and in cleaning away a
place to start in they found living on
the ore, on top of the ledge, in the soft
loan three feet from the surface, five
stone hammers such as are found in the
ancient ruins and abandoned mines of
the Aztecs all over the country, show
ing clearly that the Silver Belt has
been worked in prehistoric times. This
is the first and only indication that has
been found that the Belt was ever
disturbed before the present owners I'M
covered it. One of the hammers, which
a miner had broken in order to see tho
quality of the stone of which it was
made, is Of a dark, tough, slaty-looking
rock, such as the ancients used iii MAX
ing all their hammers and axes.

Days Without Nights.

There is nothing that strikes a
stranger more forcibly, if he visits
Sweden In June, than the absence of
night At Stockholm, for example, the
sun goes down little before 10 o'clock,
p. NJ; but he passes around the earth and
is only just below the north pole short
time; there is a great brightness all
night, and such that You can see to read
at midnight
There is a mountain at the head of the
Gulf Of Bothnia, where, on the twenty
first Of June, the sun does not 90 down
at all. Travellers go there to see it. A
steamboat goes up from Stockholm for
the purpose Of carrying those who are
curious to witness the phenomenon. It
only occurs one night. The sun goes
down to the horizon, you can see the
whole face of it, and in five minutes it
begins to rise.
At the North Cape, latitude seventy
five degrees, the sun does not go down
for several weeks. In June it would be
about twenty-five degrees above the
horizon at midnight The changes in
those high latitudes, from summer to
winter, are so great that we can have no
conception of them. In the winter the
sun disappears in the south and is not
seen for six weeks. Then it Just shows its
face. Afterward it remains ten, fifteen
or twenty minutes, and then descends
and finally it makes almost circle
around the heavens.
Animal life accommodates itself to
these long days. Birds and animals take
their accustomed rest at the usual hours.
They go to rest whether the sun goes
down or not. The hens take to the trees
about o'clock P. n, and sit there
until the sun is well up in the morning,
and the people get into the habit of late
rising too. Longfellow tells us Of his
visit to a village where, although the
sun was shining, not soul was to be
seen in the streets.

What Shall We Do with Our Daughters /.

Don't teach them self-relianee. It is

one else.
Don't teach them how to make bread
Their beaux might think they were not
well bred
Don't allow them to learn how to make
shirts. 1t is better they should not
know Then, when they are married,
their husbands can work twenty hours
a day to get money with which to buy
ready-made ones, while they knit red
dogs.
Above all things, do not fail to learn
them how to wear false hair, and If your
daughter objects to bang her hair, bang
her over the head.
Do not allow them to learn how 10
make their own dresses. It is fashion
able to have dressmaker.
Teach them that dollar is only 100
cents and does not amount to much.
Do not let them learn how to cook.
Should they understand the cuisine art
and know what is needed in family,
the servant could not supply all her re-
latives with edibles.
Teach them to darn their neighborss
but not stockings
Don't allow them to learn how to sew
on buttons. They might get needles iii
their fingers.
Teach them to regard the money and
not the morals Of their suitors.
Teach them none OF the mysteries of
the kitchen, the dining-room and the
parlor
Teach them that the more one lives
beyond his income the more lie viii
save.
Urge them to go with Incorporate
young men. 1t is convenient to have a
drunken husband, as the wife is enabled
to take pin money from his pocket while
he is taking a drunken snooze.
Finally, teach them that God made
them in his image, which iecessitates
tight lacing. Ven York Graphic.
