An Incident OIL Lie in New Mexico.


This little story is told by H. II. Car
penter, a mine oN ner, of Silver City, n.
NJ, by way of showing the folly of en-
ploying Apaches as scouts: GA friend
of mine, by the name of Elliott was out
only last season coming through the
mountains, and there Apaches began to
crack at him. He was alone. He turned
on them with his Winchester and they
slipped down behind the rocks, not
showing their heads but would every
now and then simply put up hand and
fire their gun in the direction of Elliott.
He stood there for time trying to hit
one of their hands, but did not succeed.
After a time he said: well, three
against one is too many, [ guess and
walked off, carefully facing about from
time to time, so that they did not dare
to pursue him. Two weeks after that
he was at military post and passed
near group of Apache scouts then in
the employ of the government. One of
them called out as he passed: Three
against one is too many AT this Eli
oft pulled great navy revolver with
one hand and tifty-dollar bill with the
other. He walked down into the group
and said: I will give fifty dollars to
the man who will tell me who made
that remark He would, without hest
tation, have killed him, but the twelve
scouts sat like so many wooden men
and stared ahead of him. not paying
any attention to his remark.

Why Cowboys Hate Mormons.

The Climate of Montana is not par
ticularly healthy for Mormon's, princi-
pally because the soil contains so many
Wide-aWake bachelor cowboys who are
badly in need of wives themselves. The
royal cow-punchers of Montana hate
Mormon male as they do snake. Being
unable to get a single helpmeet them
selves, although able to support dozen
where Mormon cannot support one,
it rifles them to have some lOng-haired,
raScally elder come along with four,
five, and possibly six wives, and settle
down with the utmost gall and cheek
on a Government claim. There are
about twenty-five thousand more
bachelors in Montana than there are
women altogether. Nearly all of these
twenty-five thousand have splendid
ranches, and need only a wife to COM
plete their happiness. The little town
of Nal en contains not single unmar-
ried lady. The small village only ten
miles west of Maiden is simply COM
munity of bachelors. These thousands
of young men, middle aged men, and
old men have comfortable bank &C
counts, and would marry on the slight
est provocation, so to speak. Each one
is calculated to make some woman
happy, and would give the damsel who
cared to risk her future with him all
the ready cash she could possibly spend
in the world. No wonder our bachelors
hate the Mormon males who have more
than their share of female blessings.

Decline of Paper Collars.

twenty-five years ago, when the paper
collar made it's appearance, it was
something of marvel, for who had
ever heard of paper being substituted
for textile fabrics? 1t was a great
hit, however, the conditions under
which it appeared being exactly suited
to it. The progress of the war mad
carried prices OF textiles very high, and
linen collars were almost a luxury. The
new article was Of course much cheaper,
even less than the price of washing and
ironing the linen one. But it was not
the cheapness of the former that recon-
m ended it. The gloss with which it
was finished was step in advance of
any laundrying that had been done at
that time. 1t may be tllac many people
hesitated before wearing paper collar,
shrinking from anything in the nature
of sham. 1t took some time for this
prejudice to be overcome, for the aver
age American hates cheap substitutes.
II was not difficult to distinguish at q
glance the imitation from the real thing,
for the latter was usually without much
gloss, if it was not also limp and broken
in wrinkles Yet in time the new col
lar came to be regarded not so much a
sham as o real article of another
character. Taking into account these
facts it would seem strange that it
should almost disappear from view, for
even though the linen collar has come
to be comparatively cheap article. it
would seem that paper ought to be

Hector, the White House Pet,

Hector, the black French poodle of
the White House, has a faithful at
tendant in Sinclair, the Presidents
valet, whose duty since the arrival of
the new importation has been to see
that Hector is properly exercised. Con-
trary to the general impression, Hector
is not a tiny, lOng-haired lap-dog, but
substantial. vigorous canine, weighing
about twenty five pounds, standing
eighteen or twenty inches high, and
black as the ace of spades, not a white
spot being discerniblc anywhere on his
body. His hair is about three inches
long if combed out on his head and
neck, which have been "lionized," that
is, the hair allowed to remain full
length, while Oh the rest Of the body it
has been clipped, the short, crisp curls
being suggestive of aStrachan fur. AS
soon as Mrs. Cleveland finishes break
fast Sinclair is summoned to take Hec-
torout fora run, and although he cannot
understand English, when the door is
opened there is a metoric display as the
black body launches out on the lawn at
the south of the White House, closely
followed by the light complexioned
Dago looking companion. Wherever
Sinclair goes the dog is apt to follow,
and in fact, Hector seems fonder of his
attendant than of his mistress.

The Wonders O. the Sea.

The sea occupies three-fifths of the
surface of the earth. AT the depth of
three thousand five hundred feet waves
are not felt. The temperature is the
same, varying only trifle from the ice
of the pole to the burning sun of the
equator. A mile down the water has a
pressure of over ton to the square
inch. If box six feet deep was filled
with sea water and allowed to evapor-
ate under the sun. there would be two
inches of salt left on the bottom. Taking
the average depth of the ocean to be
three miles, there would be a layer of
pure salt two hundred and thirty feet
thick on the bed of the Atlantic. The
water is colder at the bottom than on
the surface. In many of the bays On
the coast of Norway the water often
freezes at the bottom before it does
above.
Waves are very deceptive. To look
at them in a storm one would think
the water travelled. The water stays in
the same place, but the motion goes on.
Sometimes in storms these waves are
forty feet high and travel fifty miles an
hour, more than twice as fast as the
the swiftest steamer. The distance
from valley to valley is generally fifteen
times the height, hence wave five feet
high will extend over seventy-tive feet
of yuotar Tho foroo of tho cao docI,irc,
on Bell Rock is said to be seventeen
tons for each. square yard. EvapOra-
lions is wonderful power in drawing
the water from the sea. Every year a
layer of the entire sea, fourteen feet
thick, is taken up into the clouds. The
winds bear their burden to the land,
and the water comes down in rain upon
the fields, to flow back at last through
rivers. The depth of the sea presents
an interesting problem. If the Attain
tic were lowered six thousand five
hundred and sixty-four feet, the dis
lance from shore to shore would be
only half as great, OF only fifteen hun
dred miles. If lowered a little more
than three miles, there would be road
of dry land from Newfoundland to
Ireland This is the plain on which
the great Atlantic cables were laid.
The Mediterranean is comparatively
shallow. A drying up of.siX hundred
and sixty feet would leave three differ
ent seas, and Africa would be joined
with Italy. The British Channel is
more like a pond, which accounts for
its choppy WAIVER.
1t has been found difficult to get
correct soundings of the Atlantic. A
midshipman of the navy overcame the
difficulty, and shot weighing thirty
pounds carries down the line. A hole
is bored through the sinker, through
which rod of iron is passed, moving
easily back and forth. In the end of
the bar cup is dug out and the inside
coated with lard. The bar is made
fast to the line and sling holds the
shot on. When the bar which extends
below the ball touches the earth, the
sling unhooks and the shot slides off.
The lard in the end of the bar holds
some Oh the sand, or whatever may be
on the bottom, and drop shuts over
the cup to keep the water from wash
ing the sand out. When the ground
is reached shock is felt as if an cleo
trio current had passed through the
line.

THE MIDLAND JOURNAL,

She is nowln the prime of her strength
and development, and is handled by the
famous driver, John Murphy. Mr.
Bonner, as is well known, will not al
low his horses to compete in races, but
it is probable that the great mare will
be started this year to beat her own
record. Mr.. Bonner has devoted much
attention to her feet, and has so far sue
C eded that she recently trotted a mile
in 2:l94 without weights.

been so. The industry of manufacture

peared from the city Of Troy, where it
had it's BIRTH and is confined to New
York and Boston, where less than a
million dollars worth are produced
annually.
