An Industrious Tramp.

The other day a tramp walked In
to a Carson yard and asked for a
days work trimming trees, assuring
the man of the house that an old
pair of pants or square meal would
be considered sufficient equivalent
for the Job. The man who owned
the premises was philanthropic
fellow and fshed up an old pair Of
pants in few moments, Mt the same
time setting the stranger to work
mauling the wood-pile While thus
engaged the children got around him
and were dazzled with the pictures of
some angels in red and blue and a lot
of street-anchors and mermaids tat
tooed on his arms. They soon learned
the stormy history of his life. He had
been a sailor in the Caribbean, Caspian,
and Polar Seas, and after giving a
graphic account of his tiger-hunts in
India, his wrestles with gorillas in
Africa, and his great catch-as-catch-can
match, Queensberry rules, with boa
constructor in south America, it is but
to add that he commanded the entire
respect ana ATTENTION OF lne auulcnCe'
When the wood-pile had been sufficient
ly splintered he announced that the
hospitality he had received called for
more work, and there seeming to be
nothing special in sight he expressed
himself uneasy unless he was shown
something more. One of the children
asked him if he would put some
pictures on her as he had on his arms.
He said he could, and in twinkling
produced the necessary paraphernalia.
The children were simply delighted
and almost had a riot disputing over
the first choice. By 4 o'clock in the
evening he had two young boys, aged
and Z, and baby all covered over
with pictures of South-American
scenery, hearts, sheet-anchors, and
Italian sunsets, besides making engage
ments with twelve of the neighbors
children and enough prospective jobs
TO last him week. When last seen
he was leaving the premises in front OF
a shotgun and bulldog. Carson (Nev.)

French And English Cooking.

The theories of the French and En-
clisb cooks vary very widely, The form
er contend that all solid meats should be
subjected to a long, though gradual,
action of heat. so that all the fibrous
norts NAV be thoroughly cooked, and
thus leave but little work, according
10 their views, for the digestive organs
10 perform. The English cook, on the
other hand, allows but little time in
his roasting and broiling processes,
or even in boiling, asd declares
that in any other plan the genuine
flavor of the meat is destroyed or lost,
Another notable diilerance lies in
their appreciation of hayors. The
French cook can make an almost end
less variety of these from the same
meat, in neither of which will the
original one, belonging TO the meat
itself, be recognized. The English
cook takes a directly opposite view.
With him no flavor can be invented
which can approach that of the meat.
The flavor Of this must not be meddled
with. Whether beef, or mutton, or
lamb, or game is to be the dish, that
process is the best which can keep the
flavor of each distinct and distinguish
able over and above any sauce or condi-
ment that may accompany it. Indeed,
no sauce that q French cook could con
coct could possible equal, according tC
the notion of the Englishman, the juic'
oozing from q nicely roasted Joint o
rib when sliced by the carver. Their
is another difference and one in whicI
we think the Frenchman has the bes
side of the argument, and this is i
point OF economy. The French cook
in all his processes, wastes nothing
Everything is of use to him; and muc
that would be thrown away by tn
English cook as of no value, the Frenc

methods, however, have their adyal
tages, and we think judicious con
bination of the two forms the be

The Legend of the Golden Fleece.

Mrs. General Lew Wallace, in pa
per entitled Sailing Up the Bosphor-
u.s." contributed to the Mdependent
gives the following as the explanation
the disenchanters offer for the myth Of
the Golden Fleece:
From the side of the frosty Caucasus
there runs river with gold-bearinS
sand, once very Pactolus for wealth
to its owners. 1t lies on the southern
coast of the desolate rainy sea, which
was the terror and despair of primitive
navigators. The country of old was
subject to depredations of covetous
princes and barbarian hordes, and the
famous water-course, glowing with
grains of gold, was guarded well for
its estimable treasure. So rich mine,
not in narrow assures, but sparkling
flood, naturally became the resort Of
spectators by land and sea. Its value
was noised abroad through the length
of the Mediterranean countries, and its
possession was the subject of many a
bloody struggle. Anciently, and even in
historic times, the unskilled miners of
Colchis, shepherds through many gen.
erations. used ITO lay a sheepskin in the
bed of the shallow stream, which we
would hardly call river. The wool
caught and held the shining sand in its
thick mat; it was then hung upon
tree, and, when dried, the particles Of
precious dust were shaken out; and 10
YOU have the whole fable of the Golden
Fleece.

Life in the Idaho Mines.

AT the summit there is a halfway
house where, in a cabin half hidden in
the snow, one may for 50 get chance
to stand around smoky fire all night
and eat supper and breakfast of bacon,
bread and coffee. A saw-mill, which
started two months ago, is lying in
pieces along the trail, its owner in q
hopeless condition of mind and a help
less condition of saw-mill. The Belk-
nap people boast that they will have q
road and that they are to have the con-
tract for carrying the mail; but it is my
opinion that they cannot make the
road within six months, and that they
know nothing as to what will be done
about the mail. Now, letters arrive
by two special messengers and cost 80
cents apiece. One of these messengers
brings letters from the postoflice at
Fort CGur d 'Alene and the other brings
for Wells, Fargo e. Co. The first
United States service will be an extern
sion from Cnur dAlene, and this will
not begin for two or three weeks. Con-
vincing evidence of the condition of
these trails may be found in the fact
that to-day there is placard in front
of one Of the stores which reads: "Fifty
men wanted to bring freight from the
summit" went in and asked if any
men had been found.
"No, SIR" said the store keeper, rs

Worse Than Dynamite,

"These dynamite explosions over in
England" said the sleeping-car con-
ductor, remind me of an old woman
and Jug of yeast. She got on at a
small station out beyond Stcubenyille,
carrying a gallon jug in her hand,
which she told me contained a fine
quality of homemade yeast. 1t was
well corked and tied, and the old lady
carried it to her berth with her, taking
as much care of it as if it had been a
baby. An hour or so later, when
everybody was asleep, there was the
most tremendous explosion ever heard
in sleeping-car, aud all tho neighbors
of the woman had q shower-bath of
the frothy stuff from the shattered jug.
1t was dark, and they thought they
were covered with their own blood.
Such screaming you never heard, and
the old woman herself was the most
frightened Of the lot. The shaking of
the car had made the yeast livelier than
dynamite, and the extra heavy lurch
had set it of. The bed-clothes Of four
sections had 10 be changed"

Telegraphing with the Teeth and
Eyclids.

j. i, Norris, of Springfield, o., the
detective, does trick that probably no
other man in the country can initiate.
lie takes silver coin, usually dollar,
and places it on his tongue between his
teeth. With his tongue he strikes it
against his teeth with the sound of q
telegraphing instrument, the opening
and closing of the circuit being exactly
initiated. Norris used to be an opera
tor, and by means of the coin can tele-
graph words 50 distinctly that any tel.
ographer can easily read the message.
In this manner he telegraphed fifty
words minute. A Republican report.
or wrote out message on Western
Union blank, and handed it to the de.
tective. The two operators in charge
at the Southern took down the words
as fast as Norris produced them with
the coin. The message was rapidly
sounded and written down and all three
copies conceded exactly. Mr.. Norris
can stand up before telephone, and in
this novel manner telegraph a message
which any telegrapher can read with
great facility. But the most wonderful
thing is to see him telegraph with his
eyelids. The dots and dashes- of the
Geographic alphabet he indicates by a
more or less rapid opening and shut
ting of the eyelids. In this manner he
can converse with an expert without
uttering sound.-St. Louis RepubIt-
