How q Mine Was discovered.

The discovery Of the Amulet mine, on
Lynx creek. reads more like fiction thar
reality. As it has never been in print
we will give it: In July, 1856. +. e
Doggett. with pick and shovel on hi
shoulders, vas climbing tho Lynx Creek
mountains on his way to examine
quartz mine. Becoming weary in the
ascent he stopped beneath the friendly
boughs Of q juniper tree to rest. After
recuperating for some time he took ur
his pick, and in throwing it on his shouf
der it slipped from his hands, and. in
falling behind him, its sharp point
struck him in the leg. causing great pain.
Picking it up with u vehement i'm
precation from the pain it caused
him, he stuck it in the ground. saying It
could remain there, and started to walk
away. He had gone but q short distance
when he relentel. and. returning, pulled
it from the ground, bringing with it
some bright and shining metal. In his
anger he had unknowingly struck it into
q blind ledge. which he located as the
Amulet mine, ard from which there has
been over $4,000 worth Of high grade
n shipped. From q careful examine
ton made Of the second class ore, which
has been allowed to remain on the

fully 1000 tons. Samples were procured

Turkish Baxars.

The bazars of ConstantiIople, or the
Tcharshu, as they are called by the M.
tives, are situated on one of the famous
hills of that oriental metropolis, facing
the Bosphorus. They are unlike any
other places Of traffic, being altogether
sui gcneris both in construction and de-
sign. To give the reader an idea Of their
singular nature they may be compared
to the public markets of this country,
though they differ in extent and internal
arrangement. Imagine an entire city
ward with it's numerous blocks embraced
in one edilice or inclosure, with its
streets, lanes and alleys arched over and
devoted to commerce. These bazars
are built of stone and are one story high.
Each street is allotted to some particular
branch or class of merchandise; thus,
there is spice bazaar, called M~issir-tchar-
shu, where all kinds of drugs, spices
and dye stuffs arc sold, including the
famous henna, end the celebrating
hashish is procured.
There are the perfumery bazars, where
the most fragrant perfumes, tho ottar of
roses, Khurtz tenroofs and other odor-
ferrous pastiles and essences fill the at
mosphcre with their delicious fragrance;
the silk bazar, the dry goods bazaar, of
which there are two, the kalpa Kdjebar-
bashi and the Uzoon-tcharshu, or the
Broadway and the BOwery of CONSTANT
nople. Besides these is the Yaghlukdji-
lar, where the most varied and exquisite
embroideries are displayed. The KAT
faHar, or shoe bazar, is an institution
peculiarly oriental. There ono see the
meeting of the west and the east in the
motley collection of wares, the clumsy
Oriental chaussers, with the patent
leather boots: the tehedik-Pabbootcha or
the walking shoes of the Turkish ladies
of the Ancien regime, alongside of the
tiny CATERS Of varied colors, for the
modernized hannums (ladiesl. The jew
elry bazar is also a prominent feature Of
the tcharshu, for it is much frequented
by all classes.-COr. st. Louis Republic.

Christmas ut Plymoufh-lG:1.

In writing the history of Plymouth
colony, Governor Bradford closes the
record for 1921 with this paragraph:
"And here I shall end this year; only
I shall remember one passage more,
rather OF mirth than Of weight. On the
day called Christmas day the governor
called them out to worke (as was used,
but the most of this new company ex-
c.lsed themselves, and said it went
against their consciences to work ON that
day;
made it matter Of conscience, he would
spare them till they were better informed.
So he led away the rest and left them;
but when they came home at Eoonc from
their worke he found them in the streets
1t play Openiy-soIne pitching the barr,
and some at stoo.e bSu ard such like
sports. So he wente to them, and tooke
away their implements, ard told them
that it was against his conscience that
they should play and others worke.
IF they made the keeping Of it matter
OF devotioa, Jet them Eaepe their houses,
but there ehorld be no gaming or re-
yelling in Ike streets"
The thing particularly to be noticed in
this brief mention of that early Christmas
in lIcw England is that the governor
speaks Of it IS tho day called Christmas
Day" Ey this he intimates that it is not
such in reality, ard that there is no good

JAPANESE

Carpenter Who Work In Crude Ways. but

The japanese artisan has four hands

toes wrap themselves around the
articles with which he works like an

bucket between his feet while he sat

with q hammer and wedge. His legs
were bare and his cue was tied in the

workman, and in every case they seem
TO do their work in the hardest Of waya.
The methods OF labor in Japan arc the
direct Opposite Of those in America. The
carpenters, for instance, pull their planes
the other way, and when thew use the
drawing knife they push it from them
instead Of pulling It towards them. They
do most Of their work sitting and they
do all the work on the pull stroke in
stead Of the push stroke, and they stand

q bench or sawhOrse as We do. They do
their marking, not with chalk, but with
a reel and an linked string when they
wish to-saw In o straight line, and the
whole Of the work Of turning the rough
logs into the finest Of cabinet work is
done BY hand.
There are no planning mills In japan,
and the sawmills can be counted on the
fingers Of one hand. The usual method
Of saving logs into boards Is to stand the
log at an angle against the support and
saw it by hand. The saw used Is not the
powerful cross cut saw of America, but
q wide short japanese instrument. which
has q handle about two feet long, and
which looks like q butchers cleaver fled
into q saw.
The human sawmill stands on top of
the log or under it, and pulls away for
ten hours q day for about thirty cents.
Skilled carpenters in cities get about
forty American cents a day, and the best
men in the business do not get ovsr forty
five. Still, you will lind no better work
men in the world than here. Their work
is done with the use Of very few nails,
and they have to be cabinetmakers as
well as carpenters. Every japanese house
has walls which must move in grooves
in and out every day. and the ordinary
home is as finely put together asa bureau.
The joining of everything Is by dovetail-
ing. and the japanese could teach our

College Girls Who FAN in Love with and

There never yet was a woman so gifted,

A great part of what is called q mans
success in life depends upon his finding
out in good season what his natural bent
is, and then following it. James

this respect. Although his father was

aptitude for drawing and painting, yet
he was sure that he was cut Out" for q
a machinist, and q machinist he became.
Having learned his trade, he went to
Manchester to start in business for him.
self, and there, among other good people,
he met the Brothers Grant, the famous
Cheeryble Brothers of Dickens.
He was first introduced to Daniel, who
invited him to his house, and presented
him to his 'noble brother William" as
Daniel always called him. At the
dinner table young Nasmyth sat next to
William. and was asked many questions.

Nasmyth was, of course, as much
pleased as surprised, and, Is he says,
could only whisper his thanks in return.
To these Mr.. Grant responded with a
squeeze of the hand and a peculiarly
knowing wink.
This wink made q most vivid impress
sion upon the younger man. 1t seemed
full Of all manner of kindness As he
describes it, "Mr. Grant seemed to turn
his eye round, and brought his eyebrows
down upon it in a sudden and extraor-
uilary nlinner."
The ''noble brother" proved every whit
as kind as young Nasmyth could have
expected or asked for; but it ~transpired,
. year or two afterward, that the wink
had no immediate connection with his
generosity. In fact, the eye that gave it
was made of glass! 1t 10 and then got
