ITEMS OF INTEREST.

| A MAIL BAG lost in Lake Pipin, Minnesota.
| four years ago, has been recovered at MAIDEN
Rock. Several letters and money orders were

| There is no likelihood that the work will be
finished this year and it will be close on to

third of the design is done.
CONTINUED dry weather near Danville, ILL.,,
led Samuel White to dig well. He bored
| twelve feet, and struck water that flowed 30
freely that the dry bed of a creek near by has
been converted into a fine stream. Farmers
come from long distances to see what see ms to
them very much like a miracle-a stream of
cold water flowing through lands that are
parched and brown with bhe drought.
THE Grant cottage is next door to the Sea-
cliff villa of George W. Childs. A light iron
fence now separates the two properties whose
we'll kept lawns used to be marked by no
boundary line. But since Mrs. Grant has
talked of selling the historic cottage Mr..
Childs has put up the fence. The intimacy
continues lust the same between the two
families, however, and friendly visits are fire.
quently exchanged.
A SPECIAL FEATURE of the concert in Gen.
trail Park, New York, the other day by Cap
pas Seventh Regiment band was the fantasle
of the Italian composer, Bucaiossi, which rep
| reSented hunting scene. The music opened
with the meet early in the morning. Starting
quietly of the dogs soon strike the scent, and
lively crescendo, the effect OF which was
wonderfully increased by the aid of crackers
and pistols, leads up to the fun cry.
ONE DAY three years ago, when A. P. Lam
bert, of New Haven. Conn, returned from

ing. Last Wednesday sixteen of the children
OF Miss Alice Fosters baby farm. in West

SUPERINTENDENT KIMBALL, of the Life Saw
| ing Bureau, has received a letter from Ad-
| miral Ward, of the British navy. and for many
years connected with the Royal National Life
! Boat Institution of Great Britain, in which he
| SAYS that the American service shows by far
| the NEST complete record of life-saving work.

| gun invented by Capt. lyle and used in the
service at this country for throwing lines over
wrecked vessels.
TIE Ute sign language is very curious and
peculiarly interesting, and it is wonderful how
much information they can convey, and how
plain they make 1t all appear by their panto-
mimic Illustrations An Indian seems to en-
| JOY hfe best when he is silent. On a winters
| day the Ute and his squaw can be seen bask-
| ing in the warm sunshine on the south hillside
! in front of tie wigwam. There they reclne
! upon blanket from morning till noon. and
noon till night, and never speak word to
each other: yet SUPPOSE they enjoy each
4 others presence.
TIE papers are again telling about the swell
member Of half dozen swell clubs in New
York who is paid about $4,000 year and ex-
| penses by a certain great champagne house.
| In return for this the SVEN member agrees on
| all occasions in the clubs aud elsewhere to
| drink the wine made by this house and to run
down all other wines. In the same way we
| hear of the young man of fashion who is paid
| handsome salary for Wearing all the new
scarfs made by a certain firm; and in those
| days OF outre scarfs he doubtless earns his
| salary.
IN the spring of 1888 the land department of
the Central Pacific railroad decided to make
faithful experiment of wheat growing on
| the sagebrush land of Nevada without irriga-
ton. At first the experiment was partial
! failure, but this year 1t has proven most
| gratifying success, the land yielding fifteen
| bushels to the acre and the quality of wheat
| being good. The result OF this experiment
| would seem to indicate that the sagebrush
| land Of Nevada is worth something after all.
| in which case the State may become some
! thing more than pocket borough.
PRINCE BISMARCK had a good time at Gas
tein, whence he has just iourneyed to Berlin.
| The other dav some persons who were firing
at a target were honored with the Chancel-
| lor's company. He was clad In black and wore
} a fro
| with those around him, for they had on Tyro-
| lese low-crowned hAts with feathers. His big
bloodhound was with him. He fired twice
| with pistol at the long range target, AGO
/ yards away, and hit it once. Then he saw
| new repeating rife put to use. He smiled at
the effect and said: at is getting worse for
| the cavalry every year. STILL be added, sit
takes coed deal of lead to kill man."
| A COMPARISON of the ages Of the several
German speaking universities is of interest
just now in connection with the Heidelberg
commemorstion. The oldest is Prague,

THIS whole country, now occupied by the
Utes, and the deep canons and rough mesas to
the south, says n correspondent, we're once
thickly populated by tho Pueblos and the
cliff jewellers. We find their old ruins wher-
ever we go. and some places were as thicklv
| populated, or more so. than the Eastern States
! are to-day. This country has, however un-
dergone great change since the day of these
strange people. We find their houses and
| bitches, evidently used for irrigating pur-
| poses, far up on the mesas. 500 and 600 feet
| above the nearest water accessible to-day
| Many centuries must have come and gone
| since these foundations were laid. and vet in
| the Cliff dwellings we find cedar timber sound
and bright. and have found paintings on the
| smooth rocks under the overhxngin9 cliffs
! that the Utes say they have no KIN 0wedee OF.
| except that they have been there ever since
their tribe has occupied the country. The
! paintings are of style that no Ute nor Mexl-
| can would be apt to indulge In. The colors
| are still bright and unfaded,
THE swoRDFIsH does attack his human pur-
suers. The recent death OF Capt. Frank
Langsford from awound inflicted by sword
