The Old Rail Fence.
sician.'' -

I am told by foreign tourists that
while many of our fences are reflected
In those OF other lands, the counterpart
of the zigzag fence is to be seen in no
other country. 1t is typical of Yankee"
land 1t is known rs "Snake of Vir.
ginia fence" and as relic Of lavish
era OF unlimited forestry. History doei
not chronicle the name of its inventor,
bat have long since learned to cherish
a profound respect for the memory of
this unknown individual. It is hard
for me to imagine in the person of this
primitive rail-splitter the picture OF an
untutored backwoodsman and l never
follow the course of one OF those fences
without feeling certain consciousness
that its original builder must have seen
his work through eyes artistic as well
as practical.
The careless abandon of its lines-a
repetition of form in which absolute
repetition is continually defined by the
capricious convolution of the grain, for
there are no two rails made in the same
mold-and their gray satiny sheen,
their weather beaten stains OF moss and
lichen, and the ever.changing play of
lights and shadows from the waving
weeds and vines, make the old rail
fence truly an object of real beauty in
our landscape. Often have fingered
in its angles, and hundred times have
thought of the host of pictures and
reminis cences which might fill book to
the glory of fence corner.-Hmper.

on the open prairie between the Modocs

to be the more athletic and taller, but
the Modocs, although shorter, squat

They are really skillful bas eball players,

excellent runners. The Peorias are

An Arkansas Snake Charmer.

Mr.. Black, who resides in HilIsboro,
Ark, exhibits a control and influence
over the reptile family astSnishingly
mysterious. In the woods, creeks or
wherever he finds snake, it matters
not OF what type of deadly poison and
venom it may be, he succeeds in captur-
ing it alive and suffering as little from
the clasp of its fangs as if il we're an
ordinary pin.scratch. He handles and
fondles them about his person with as
much indifference as il they were so
many harmless toys. he will Lllow the
largest rattlesnake to deliberately strike
and bury his fangs into his flesh, and
apparently suffer no inconvenience or
serious consequences from the tragic
risk. BY certain weed or growth Of
vegetation he claims to destroy the ef-
feet Of the bite. When bitten he chews
and swallows the juice of the weed,
which acts like charm.

Americas Coal Fields.

Miners in Illinois are only making 81
day.
Coal dust is manufactured into bricks
in France.
All the Canada railroads get their
supplies of coal from the United States.
The Chesterfield county Virginia,
coal mines are the oldest in America.
In the manufacture of iron last year
in this country 9.979. 500 tons of coal
were used.
Coal is being prospected for in the
vicinity OF Pittsburg, Kan, under very
favorable circumstances.
Dams and reservoirs with a storage
capacity of 100000 gallons have
been built in the anthracite regions OF
Pennsylvania.
The biggest tow ever brought down
the Mississippi was o feet of thirty
loaded coal boats and barges recently
arrived at New Orleans from Pittsburg.
The fear OF spontaneous combustion
prevents vessel owners accepting the
high prices offered for freight on btu
minous coal to Japan. AS much as $5
ton has been offered.
Nine hundred square miles of coal
territory have been developed in Bates
and Vernon counties, No., showing
veins six feet in thickness at depth OF
from forty to eighty feet from the sur
face.

A Novel Industry.

A novel but profitable industry in
mountains of North Carolina and East
Tennessee is that of collecting roots
(mostly laurel). The roots are shipped
to Philadelphia and Boston, and used
for the manufacture Of door knobs and
pipe-bowls. The roots frequently weigh
from sevsnty-five to one hundred and
fifty pounds. There is constant de-
mand. and good prices are paid toI
them BY the ton.

the north vein, to the depth of 20 feet.
At depth OF three hundred feet this
vein is now about five feet wide md
assays 90 ounces in silver and about SG

drifts have been run on the vein on the
300 foot level.
Just the other side of the point on the
four hundred foot level where the
centre vein was struck, ut Il distance Of
1872 feet from the shaft, the hanging wall
OF the largest or south vein of all has
been struck. No drifts have been run
on this last mentioned vein. On the
800 foot level the distance between the
main and centre veins is 40 feet. On
the 400 foot level the walls are we'll de-
fined, and the main and centre veins
are separated by a horse which widens
us it goes upward, these two veins COM

same results in width and value. This
vein was next struck on the 3OOfoot lev
81, ut Il distance Of 46 feet north from the
shaft, where it showed pay ore in all ,|i-
rcctions, levels being run 80 feet each way,
with II fitty-foot raise. Finally, at this
period in the development of the mine,
and as Il strong indication of its continue
ity and richness, the east drift on the
800 foot level ut II distance of As feet
shows rich body of pay ore.
THE CENTRE VEIN.
The centre vein in the Moulton mine
was first struck on the south cross cut
from the 2OO foot level. At this point il
was rich, assaying from % to 100 ounces
IN silver. Levels were driven east and
west and raise made about ~ feet. At
this point the vein was ten feet between
the walls, one-half of which was pay
ore.
On the 800 foot level the centre vein
was struck ut II distance of 100 feet south
from the shaft, and was found to aver
age much the same as on the 300 foot
level, though greater in width. Here it
was 30 feet between walls, though show
ing from ito feet of pay ore. A level
has been driven $50 feet east here to the
Alice line, showing good ore all the way.
A raise IS feet towards the POO foot level
ut this point shows u continuous shoot
of ore all the way IN.
Again OH the 400 foot level the centre
vein was struck, 1872 feet south from the
shaft, showing about two feet of very
rich ore
THE MAIN VEIN.
The south or main vein was struck
fi1st on the 300 foot level 294 feet south
from the shaft, where it was found not
to Ike very rich, though some ore streaks
have been found assaying from 30 to 40
ounces. AT this point the cross cut has
already been run through 81 feet of
ledge matter, and the south wall of the
vein has not yet been reached. No
