Good Grammar in Arizona

A flash Young man from an eastern college
lately stopped at the principal hotel in Tomb
stone, Arizona, and a socially inclined person
in blue shirt and wide trimmed hat who hap
pened to be in the office, good naturedly gave
him a vast amount OF interesting information
about Arizona in general aud Tombstone in
particular. "Do you see them hills ?" asked
the Tombstoner, pointing out the window.
"Well, them hills is chock full Of pay dirt" "
The Eastern young man looked shocked. My
dear sir" he said sadly, but kindly, you
should say those hills-not them hills" The
Tombstoner looked the young man from the
East critically over, as If estimating the size
of coffin he would wear then, drawing out
an ivory-stooked seven-shooter of elaborate
style and finish, he said in soft, mild, mu-
steal voice, like wildwood brook coursing
o'er its pebbled bed "My gentle unsalted
tenderfoot from the land of the rising sun,
this is pint you and me dsagrees on and
we may as well settle it right now. haven't
seen a grammar very lately, but l say them
hills" is correct and I'll stand by that opinion
as long as I've got shot left. I'll give you
lust three minutes to think calmly on the sub
iect, for you probably spoke in haste, and
then I'll hear your decision" The young man
from the East looked down the delicately-
chased barrel OF the revolver into the placid
depths of the Tombstoner's eye, and began to
| feel that many points IN grammar are uhcer
tain and liable to grow more so; he thought
of the eoroner's inquest and of the verdict :;

long pine box going East with 500 express
charges on it and before half the three min
utes were up, he said that 'since he had calm

| hills to be correct. He had spoken on the
spur of the moment, he added, land begged
a thousand pardons for his presumptuous et-
fort to substitute bad grammar for good,
The Tombstoner forgave him freely, and,
grasping his hand, said II knowed you'd

top joint Of the thumb be examined it can be
seen that in the centre-Rs, indeed in the fin
gers also-is kind of spiral formed Of fine
grooves in the skin. The spiral is, however,
rarely if ever quite perfect. There are irreg-
ularities or places where lines run into each
other here and there. Examining both
thumbs, it will be seen that they do not ex-

the thumb This is easily done by pressin &
it on 81 b covered with film of printers

paper, or little aniline dye, Indian ink-al-

The Chinese take advantage of this to iden.
tify their important criminals at least in
some parts of the empire. We photograph
their faces they take impressions from their
thumbs. These are stored away, aud if the
delinquent should ever again fall into the
hands of the police, another impression at
once affords the means of comparison. The
Chinese say that, considering the alteration
made in the countenance by hair and beard,

Is THE OBELIsK MASS OF CONCRETE "A
correspondent of The Scientific American, a
lifelong manufacturer of lines and eoneretes,
states as the result of recent examination OF
the obelisk in Central Park, New York, his
belief that it is a mass of concrete and not
granite monolith. "What looked at dis
lance" he says, ''to be gray, reddish, uni
form tint, was, on close inspection, granite
broken into pieces from the size of walnut
down to corn or wheat size, and these brok-
en- stones we're intimately mixed with some
bituminous matter, black and seamy, some
thing of the nature of asphaltum. Ihe
black substance and broken stones were thor

Chinese Popular Scientific superstI.
tiOna.

A late number of Nature gives an account
of some of the popular delusions current IN
China regarding the habits and transforma.
tions of animals.
One of these is that the quails are in au-
tumn converted into moles, and in spring
again acquire their beaks and feathers. This
belief arises from the fitting of the quails
among the mole-hills in spring and summer
In the autumn they migrate, but as the plow-
man discovers moles as he proceeds with his
work he believes them to be the same as the
birds he saw in summer.
Kin signifies pigeon, and Stodn9 KIN a
crested hawk. The latter name was origin
ally given because the hawks, in the breed
ing season, have the habit of erecting the
feathers on the head, giving the appearance
of a crest The identity of the last syllable
with the word meaning a pigeon has gives
rise, by q curious confusion of ideas, to the
belief that hawks become pigeons in spring,
and at midsummer regain their hawk form.
The legend that in the late autumn certain
small birds go into the sea and become crus-
tacea arises from a confusion between words.
The word i0eL means both become and
'for" The original statement was that GER
tain small birds, probably sandpipers, go to
the sea for crustacea. The same sort OF mis-
take, carried still further, causes Cinnamon
to believe that in winter pheasants go into
! the lakes and become clans. Here the JOl
/ is translated into become, while the wordi
understood as "clams" means also swee
| flags and ter-rushes-artioles for which
hungry pheAsants might probably seek the
| borders of lakes.
One of the classics asserts that "if within
ten days from the beginning of winter pheas
ants do not go to the great waters, lasciviou
women will multiply in the country"
Offers are seid to offer up fishes to tn
gods, and poleoats to present animals in tn
same way, as propitiatory sacrifices. Thi
belief, doubtless arises from the habit thes
creatures have of leaving their victims ap
parently untouched when they have kille
more than they can devour.
Other beliefs transform eels into serpentf
mice into bats and sharks into tigers, or vic
versa. Comets are said 10 be destructive

MINING WITH LIME. The new method of
mining coal by breaking down with compress
ed lime, which was first spoken of last sum-
mer, has now passed beyond the experimen.
tai STAGE and its utility has been demonstra-
ted beyond question. The operation consists
in drilling shot-holes in the roof Of the coal,
into which cartridges of specially prepared
limestone are introduced. BY forcing water
on to the limestone steam is generated, and
this with the expansive force Of the lime,
completes the work of disintegration. The
advantages of this method of coal-mining are
that the risks and dangers which inevitably
accompany the use Of gunpowder or dynamite
are abolished and that the coal is obtained in
large masses, thus saving the waste incurred
by blasting with explosives. Coal, when brok-
en- fine, is deteriorated in usefulness and price
by upward of 80 per cent, but much of this
waste is saved under the new system, @ a
greater proportion of the product is large"
coal. Where the miners are paid according
TO the large coal they mine the new inven-
tion will increase their income without alter
ing the rate of wages.
