Jumping down he made for a

was safe. The other man was in the
clearinghouse, and fell to the floor,
covered with snow and debris-from
which perilous situation he crawled
out in about Is minutes, somewhat
bruised and sore, but otherwise un-
hurt. The people at Bottoms

that they had seen the last of the two

None Of 1t Is for Sale at Any Price.

The Ketchum paper having, some
days since, stated that at least one in.
terest in the Parker mine was being
negotiated for on basis of $4,000
in cash, the TIMES is requested to
state that such is not the case. Not
foot of it is for sale. About 10 DAYS
ago, Mr.. Montgomery, the owner of
the interest said to be for sale by the
ketchum paper, while speaking to a
gentleman, in the Merchants Hotel,
in this city, and denying that his in
terest (which is three-eignths, we be-

"Pshaw! $4,000! Why, $751;

coin, would not tempt me! want to
stay with this property, because l am
confident that it will make me rich!"

When night came we would gather

If it be true, as Is alleged, that the
fathers and mothers of our earlier day
had more vigorous constitutions than
the present stock of American-bornl
people, no little of the superior physique
was due to the habit of horseback rid
ing. Previous to the railroad era the
horse was an ''institutlon. Women
and men, boys and girls, rode on horse
back. Long journeys were taken in
this way. This open-air exercise of an
invigorating kind was favorable to
strength and longevity. There is no
more agreeable exercise than equestrian
ism, and none more conductive to
health, 1t is a good sign that riding
schools are being established in all the
arge cities, and they promise to i'm
prove the physique of our women,
which does not rank with that of their
British sisters. Now that spring has
fairly opened, it would be well to
rganize riding parties in this county.
The tired student and the
professional man would do well to
cultivate the saddle. A spirited horse

bloom Of Teawakened nature to greet

The Cleveland school board recently
abolished semi-annual examinations. 1t
might possibly be worth while consider
ing whether such an arrangement would
not be an Improvement generally. Semi
annual examinations are great tax on
teachers, and greater tax probably on
scholars; and as test of the latter's
abilities, it is question whether they
are really as valuable one as would be
afforded by simply averaging the
''marks" for the whole term. That
would be basis for promotion in which
there would be no cheating, and the
terrors of examination day would be a
thing of the past, Possibly there is
omething in the Cleveland idea.

Sorting Rags.

"K-k-k-chewl" and the sneeze was
repeated by the visitor and one Of the
proprietors of the rag dealers store in
Chicago. The sneeze came from one of
bevy of young women who were sort.
ing rags. at intervals sneeze would
come from others, and to the visitors
mind the scene presented three features
rags, dust, and sneezes.
To one who has never visited large
store where rags are bought and sorted,
the place is Of peculiar interest. Away
up in the top story is large room. AT
the back are huge bins, each one con-
tanning different qualities of rags and
paper. At the front are the girls al
ready spoken of. Their nationality, al
most without exception, is Polish.
Their heads are covered with wells OF
cloths to keep the dust from their hair.
Their clothes are Of the meanest de-
scripton, for the occupation admits of
no other dress. For wages the most
expert sorters receive all the way from
"a to Sc per week. As they are paid by
the number of hundred pounds Of rags
and paper which they sort, the amount
of The girls pay is dependent on the
deftness of their fingers. And to see
those fingers move is sight to remem.
Der. Two girls stand at what is called
"sorting-tablo." This is a shallow
trough with wire bottom. A bag Of
rags is laid over one end of the table.
1t may contain twenty different varie
ties of rags, several kinds Of paper, old
boots, tin, wood and all sorts of foreign
substances. Around the table are al
least fifteen barrels. The girls, after
drawing quantity of the mixture into
the table, commence to sort it. Imag

large and small, lying in the table mix
