The Astonishing ESsrrienet OF some
flawrry Nil ~.

Storey county is determined not to
be behind ia the sensational line. The
Enterprise says that down in Flowery
District last Thursday SONS miners,
who were prospecting about two miles
north OF tss Lady Bryaa mine, had
quite an astonishing experience. They
were drilling hole into a quartz vein
on the side OF mountain. preparatory
to putting ia blaSt. One OF the men
was holding aud tusning the drill while
the other was striking Suddenly a
blow OF the hammer sent tie drill out
OF sight. Instantly stream OF water
spouted up TO the hight Of forty or fiits
feet. TIE water came out the full size
OF the drill hole. aud was spouted for
over an hour. when il failed and ceased
to flow. The men finally put IN blast.
and, blowing or the top Of the quartz
vein, discovered same four feet below
the surface a large crcvlce or cavity,
which extended up the hill as far az
they were able to probe il.

The TOYS of Our Boyhood,

The boys of to-day would have q very
poor opinion of the toys that amused
us when we were young. We can
hardly find any of the old-timc toys for
sale in this luxurious age. Our children
would doubtless turn up their noses at
the primitive toys that amused their
fathers-the Noahs ark with its painted
windows and red roof that lifted up
with hinge, old Noah with blue coat
and tendency to tumble down and
damage his wooden features, and his
wife with green legs and figure built
on churn pattern-we used to knock
them in endwise through the roof, and
drop them down into the cellar with the
elephant, the COW, and the kangaroo,
and fasten them all up securely by lock-
ing the roof with piece of wire. And
then there was the wooden sheep with
wool glued on his back, and the paste
board cat, and the spotted china dog,
and the tin COW with wooden tail, and
the horse that was mounted on wheels;
how constantly they became ungued
and how rapidly they tottered into old
age and decrepitude; but we enjoyed
the possession of these monstrosities,
uuu IuOuSHb tucin uilc pcIleCIIoH VI nu-
man ingenuity. We treasured these
caricatures of the animal kingdom, and
we honestly believe that we got great
deal more enjoyment out of them than
the children of to-day get out of the
modern scientific toys that work by
steam and electricity, and that are con-
structed with some consideration for
natural appearances.
The little flat books that had pictures
in red, and yellow, and green, of A was
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, and b was
something or other that did some-
thing else equally absurd. What treas
ures this lipen-paged literature seemed
to our unsophisticated minds, and it ex-
asperates us now to sec the calm indif-
ference with which our children treat
the finest specimens of the Autograph
er's and wood engraver's art that APP
pear in the many publications now pre-
pared specially for young folks. This
is an age of progress and luxury, but
we question whether boy can get
more fun out of the self-cocking toy pis-
tol that carries real ball and cartridge,
and will burst and blow all his fingers
off. than his predecessors got out of the
primitive pop-gun that discharged moth
ing more dangerous than paper wad.

Hints TO Skaters.

In skating on ice, avoid skates that
are strapped on the feet. rs they pre-
vent the circulation, and the foot be-
comes cold before the skater is aware
of it, because the tight strapping be-
numbs the foot and deprives it of feel
ing. Serious injury may be done the
feet in this way. The safest kind are
those which receive the fore part of the
foot in kind of toe, and stout leath-
er around the heel, bucklng in front of
the ankle only, thus keeping the heel in
place without spikes or screws, and
aiding greatly in supporting the ankle.
1t is not the object so much to skate fast
as to skate gracefully; and this is soon
er and more easily learned by skating
with deliberations; while it prevents ov-
erheating, and diminishes the chances
of taking cold by cooling off too soon
afterward If the wind is blowing, q
veil should be worn over the face, at
least of ladies and children; otherwise,
fatal inflammation of the lungs, ''pneu-
monia," may take place. Do not sit
down to rest for II single half minute,
nor stand still if there is any wind; or
stop n moment after the skates are taken
off; but walk about so rs to restore the
circulation about the feet and toes and
to prevent being chilled. 1t is safer to
walk home than to ride; the latter is al
most certain to cause cold. Never
carry anything in the mouth while
skating, nor any hard substances in the
hand; nor throw anything upon the ice;
none but careless, reckless ignorance
would thus endanger a fellow skater
Always keep your eyes about you, that
you may avoid collisions. Arrange to
have an extra garment, thick and heavy
to throw over your shoulders the mo-
ment you cease skating, and then walk
home. or at least half mile, with your
mouth closed, so that your lungs may
not be quickly chilled by the cold air
dashing in upon them through the open
mouth; but if it passes in through the
nose and head it is warmed before it
gets to the lungs. 1t would be safe
rule for no child or lady to be on skates
more than an hour at a time. Chicago

Literary Profit.

Mr.. Osgood, the publisher, remarked
recently that he rather thought Walter
Scott as novelist would outlast Dick
ems. Scott kept nearly even with Dick
ems in sales at the present day, while
Dickens influence was yet recent, and
it was therefore fair to conclude that
when a few more years had passed
Scott, rooted in romance and history,
would continue to be the necessity of
many and the delight of some. Mr..
Osgood said that he thought Scott's
poetry in the present period found moro
sales than that of Byron, who once out
stripped Scott in contemporary popu-
larity. The novels of Mr.. Howells had
fair though not extraordinary sale of
perhaps $4,000 copies each. Hawthorne
had never sold extravagantly, and prob
ably never would become the favorte
of great masses of people, since he
worked for too fine an element and
rather wrote over the heads of the null
titude. The two distinctive successes
of fiction had been Mrs. Stowe with
"Uncle Toms Cabin" and Mr.. Tour
gee with "The FOOLS Errand." Mrs.
Stowe might have realized $4,000 in
all from her books. Mrs. Burnett had
not made much money from her tales
and novels, but was reputed to have
realized well from her play. Mr.. Gable
had a ready market for his wares, but
was not wealthy man, though he was
a religious one and devout Presby-
terian.--M y. Tribune.

Guarding Garfeld's Grave.

No one, says the Cleveland Penny
Press, is allowed to approach within 100
yards of Garfied's tomb after nightfall
until they have been identified by the
guard who still PAGES ceaselessly back
and forth every hour day and night, ex-
cept in stormy weather, when he sits at
an open window in little guard-house
that stands just across the road and two
or three rods from the vault, in front of
which light must be kept burning.
For this guard duty the government de-
tails twelve men and an officer from the
regular army. all of whom are within
call, and three beside the one on sentry
duty are constantly within the little
guard house. These, armed with the
breech-loading Springfield rifles, and
with 300 pounds of ammunition, are
impressed with the belief that it would
take a whole regiment of ghosts and
ghouls to steal from their affectionate
care Garfield's sacred remains. That
there are dastardly wretches who would
steal the bones of martyr for paltry
ransom, is proved by the attempt to Sc
cure the body while it was yet in the
city vault, and before it had been re-
moved to the Schofield private vault,
and shows the precaution wise one.
These guards will not be removed until
the body safely rests beneath the monu-
ment. The guards are almost essential
to protect the tomb from the relic fiends
rs from the gbouls. The guards assert
that were it not for their presence, and
the wire screen or fence, which COM
pletely surrounds the tomb, that the
crowds that visit it would chip of,
break up and carry away vault, casket
and all as relics. AS it is they break
twigs from adjacent trees, reach through
the wires and pluck blades of grass,
pick up pebbles or anything else they
can seize upon, placing them in their
pocket-books or wrapping them up care
fully to bear away as mementos of their
visit. No one is allowed to enter ex-
cept the officer in charge and Mrs. Gar
field and her family. She comes from
her home on Prospect street every week
or two, often bringing some beautiful
floral tribute, the boys or Mollie with
her, always sad, but calm and I'M
dcmonstrative. Every Sabbath a bout
quet of rare flowers is sent to the ceme-
terry, and the officer in charge enters
the tomb and places them on the coffin,
as it stands in full view with the side
toward the doors. During tho day the
doors stand open, but at night they are,
closed and securely locked.

What Americans Neglect,

A letter from Sheffield Eng. says: /
wonder why most Americans coming
over here write of the natural scenery of
England, and say so little of these CEN
tury-old, world-famed manufactures.
Speaking of scenery, 1--WE have plenty
of that at home," as the boy said when
he was offered hash to eat while paying

tory, and saw the tiny things turned out
by the thousands. Then we went into

tion of glass making, from the sitting of
the sand to the last polishing and the

10 years old sat Mt his bench before a

with stars and complicated lines and
curves, with no outline drawn and no
pattern marked.

Killing Rats by Electricity.

Ralph Corbit, an ingenious 15-year-old
boy Of Honeybrook, Chester county. has
devised II novel plan of getting rid of
the rats which invest his fathers cellar.
He has constructed out of old fruit jars
a battery of three Leydcn jars, which he
connects and places upon large iron
plate which touches the tin foil on the
outside. The bait is so arranged that
when the rat steps upon the plate and
seizes the bait he at once makes the
connection between the outside and in
side of the jars and they are discharged
through his body killing him literally as
quick as lightning. He charges rhe jars
by means of an electrical machine, also
constructed by himself. He ran a
couple of wires through the floor to the
cellar from the room above, and rs soon
as he would hear a rat squeak he would
Immediately recharge the battery. The
first time he put the machine in opera
ton he slaughtered twenty-five rats in
space of three hours, and in two days
the cellar was entirely cleared of the
pests. Vest Chester (Pa.) Local.

A Fatal Uholce,

With the drifting clouds ofsmoke and
steam that rise from the ruins OF the ILL
fated Newhal house mt Milwaukee,
there comes sadly romantic story, in
which gentleman of this city is one of
the actors. Only few months ago Mr..
Porteous, of this city went TO Canada to
marry Miss Sutton. to whom ne had
been engaged for some time. He re-
NAMED there some time. His friends
waited, with no little wonder Mt the de-
lay. to hear that the ceremony had been
performed. No word came, however,
and 10 the surprise of all. when ut last
the groom-elect did return, he brought
with him the sister Of the lady to whom
he had been engaged. and for whose
hand he had gone to the Dominion.
1t seems that when Mr.. Porteous
reached the homo of his fiancee another
had come between them. She had met
and learned To love an actor, and prom
ised to become his wife. This Mr.. Por-
teous learned when she had refused him
her hand and given him his liberty. He
then found out that his affection had
transferred itself to Miss Sutton's sister,
and forthwith wooed and won her, re-
turning home in triumph with bride.
The young lady to whom Mr. Porteons
first intrusted his heart, no longer fet-
tered with betrotbal. then gave her
heart to Mr.. John Gilbert, of the Minnie
Palmer company, and with him went
on the boards. This fact was not known
to the wife of Mr.. Porteous, however,
and for several weeks she has been ex-
nectino n visit from her sister, When
the news of the terrible calamity at Mil
waukee was flashed over the wires,
Mrs. Porteous was struck by the name
of Mrs. John Gilbert among the victims
and an investigation proved the sad
facts too true. Her only sister, tho
bride of one night, was burned in that
fearful death-trap. -Louisvilte Courier

The hair-pin of to-day is no more like
its ancestor than is the enlightened man
of science like the primeval monkey.
Hair-pins have "evoluted" out of the
eld-fashioned straight wire into various
shapes, sizes, and designs. Most of
them are enameled. They are of vary
ing length, from the gossamer forks
with corrugated limbs, used to hold in
place puffs and curls, to the long pins
required to keep on the big hats whose
broad brims present great temptations
to the wind. They are made by machin-
cry, and are so cheap that the poorest
women may enjoy the greatest variety.
What becomes of the hair-pins? They
drop on floors; they get swept up and
lost; they become bent and useless; they
disappear and are replaced, and great
factories are employed in making them.
In a recent divorce case in New York
the wife put in her complaint an allcga-
ton that she found strange hair-pin
on her husbands pillow.-New York
