Lost in the Mountains.

Few mountain men give much atten-
ton to rocks, yet they are as good as
guide-posts when understood. The GEN.
tral axis and crest of the Sierra range
are formed of granite rocks. These
rocks, and the states and other rocks
lying in regular order below, will always
tell man who understands them Just
how far down the slope of the range he
has gone. They will also tell him-by
the moss and lichens growing on them
the points of the compass. An observ-
ant man may always tell whether he is
on the north or the south side of the hill
by the trees. There are trees growing
on the south side of hills that are seldom
seen ON the north side. A difference in
the growth of moss, and in the thickness
of the bark on the north and south sides
of trees, will also be noted.
When man is lost in the mountains,
he must not wander uphill and down.
hill at random. As soon as he becomes
aware that he has lost his reckoning, he
must constantly travel down hill. If he
start from slope, this will lead him to
a ravine, the ravins to a canon, and the
canon to a creek or river. By travelling
down the river, he will soon come out
below the snow-line on the one side or
the other Of the range. He need never
be out long enough TO starve to DEATH

Moisture in bread.

In the opinion of Messrs. Wanklyn
and Cooper, English food analysts, the
proportion Of moisture contained in
bread offered for sale should be a mat
ter Of government regulation. When
well made, bread should contain about
"a per cent. of water, but in practice the
proportion very often reaches and even
exceeds 40 per cent, the bakers thus
make sixty pounds Of bread solids do
duty for sixty-six pounds. 1t is re-
marked that bread which is too moist ia
prone to grow mouldy, and some years
ago serious outbreak of disease in the
French army was traced to the poison
Gus character Of quantity Of over moist
bread. This suggests the question
whether there are not many deaths
which might be traced to similar poison
ing, and leads to the recommendation
Of suitable legislative restrictions when
practicable.-Arkansaw Traveller.

A STORY OF THE FIRE,

remember the night of the great fire
very we'll Somewhere between 10 and
II o'clock l WAS walking rapidly on the
sidewalk across the street there in front
of the old Jail, which you may recollect
was in the basement of the wing built a
short time before. My attention was
attracted by a terrific uproar in the
Jail. The old dome on the middle of
the building was blazing, and the glare
of the fire all around Lit up the gloomy
precincts of the prison where between
100 and 200 hard characters were Sc
curely locked up, and the strangest
thing was that the turkeys had gone
out to see the fire and apparently were
not coming back in hurry.
The fellows inside the Jail were fran
tic with fear. They swore strange oaths
and pleaded for deliverance. Probably
most of them richly deserved cremation,
but could not stand the piteous appeals
of some Of them, as they hung to the
bars of the windows and begged for life.
No answer came to my pounding on the
door. About dozen persons had gath
cred, among them one of the old super
visors. The inmates yelled louder and
swore worse than ever. Something had
to be done. A long log-perhaps thirty
feet long-lay in the gutter. called to
the crowd, and in less than no time we
were carrying the log down the steps
leading to the entrance.

honesty and his excellent notions Of
economy, tried to stop us, and asked
what we were going to do. ITO batter

save a few locks when city was burn
ing and over 100 lives were in peril. Not
needing him we broke the locks and the
doors, and the thieves and robbers

just around the corner from Clark. They
ransacked and rifled it. The ruling in

And yet, by widely different paths, at last
To meet upon the same unsmiling plain,
