THE weather now leads US to re-
verse an old stereotyped phrase and
remark that Spring has come before
her time and has been lingering for
several days in the lap of hoary old
winter, and still lingereth. The
weather is more like April than JAN
uary. Warm rains, dripping caves
and genuine thaw is the luxury in
the way of weather Boise county has
been enjoying, and coming on the
heels of the visit, a couple of weeks
ago, of the spirit of the weather that
reigneth in the Arctic regions-and
that came wearing all the habiliments
of that section ruled by the Ice King
is all the more appreciated.

Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Magee return
their grateful thanks to the good
people of this place for their deeds of
kindness and sympathy extended to
them in that saddest of all events, a
call from the Angel of Death for a
loved one. When the sable wings OF
that dread messenger were spread,
darkening the household, kind and
sympathetic friends did all that could
be done to tighten the weight of grief
Mr.. and Mrs. Magee say, in addition,
that "Idaho City has the best people
in the world,n and this is as much as
could be said, in praise of their kind
ness and sympathy extended, in a
whole volume.

that he had now carried the joke to
the limits, and they wanted "no more
monkey business. Charley informed
them there was no joke nor monkey
business about it on his part, and they
made him cross his heart, say honest
lnjun, and forced him to take several
other solemn oaths. He made the
same declaration he had frequently
made before-that some wicked joker
had stolen it over in Idaho, and that
he was in as bad fix as they were.
They began to take stock in his YER
acity, and exclaimed in chorus, in
strain burdened with wild-eyed as
constituent: dis blazes! is that
soil" and with sorry solemnity that
was oppressive with its weightiness,
and enough to bring tears to the cold,
hard, dry eye of a strap pick. Charley
replied that 1t was true, alas! too
true!! The boys had about conclud-
ed that they would have to make a
desperate effort to trip the light fam

stiff stogies, and try to put on style

The Centervillians noticed that their
physiogs were clothed in the melan-
choly mists of gloom, inquired as to
the cause, and being informed,
straightway set about to rig them out,
and the boys were then made happy.

THE Range and Valley learns that
an English company has secured the
famous Wide West group of mines
on Red Warrior Hill, near Rocky
Bar. These mines, during the past
twenty years, have produced at least
100000 in gold. They now have
in sight, by conservative calculation,
100000 tons of ore that will average
$50 per ton. 1t has been demon
strated by the Alturas Gold Limited
that ore can be mined and milled for
less than Sc per ton. This would
leave at least s24 per ton clear, or
$4,SOO,ooO for the 100000 TONS clear
of all working expenses.

Then again do hearts really break2-
always in the metaphysical meaning. Is
the shock ever so violent and permanent
that life loses forever after a considerable
portion of the comfort and happiness 1t
formerly had? Does not the deceived
friend. when the frenzy of the first twenty
four hours is over. soon recover from his
disillusion and not only conduct his
business as though nothing important
had happened, but eat with undiminished
appetite, and sleep dreamlessly and well?
Does Werther. even if he abstains from
suicide, always live on with q heart which
simply performs its muscular duty, in a
manner more or less impaired, to be sure,
but which never more beats to passion,
because passion can never more be felt2
Are there not Camilles who forget their
Armands as the conquer their consump
ton and settle down into unremorseful
and dem~i-respectable middle age2
Do unreasonable disappointments al.
ways make existence u desert? Is there
not such a thing as forgetfulnoss of acute
miseries instead of memorizing them into
chronic griefs? Does not the expectant
treatment often cure the most bruised
and bleeding soul-expectancy that still
looks for happiness both in this world and
the world to conner Is there no truo
philosophy in that vulgar-maxim which
reminds us there are as good fish in tho
sea as ever were taken out2 Can it be
possible that any two souls, in spite Of
vast divergences, are so made for each
other that when sundered by imperative
fate neither again can over find a TWIN

We are promised n cat show in Paris.
This will not, perhaps, be SO interesting
as a baby show, but it will be a novelty

everybody knows, they nave a highly dis

tails and amiable faces have mado them
celebrated as French cats" although in
reality they claim oriental descent. Al
all times in favor here. they we're chiefly
appreciated during the siege. although
the quantity of meat in proportion to fur
was-often disappointing. A good cat Of
steady habits-the profligate animals are
always lean-was worth twenty francs OF
more a few days before the capitalization.
If some old aides had not chung 10 their
cats with great determination and checked
their rowing impulses. they would doubt

Intelligence in cats grows in inverse
ratio to fur. The long furred animals arc

Among tho Huts of ireland.

In three days time / had visited nearly
200 huts and cabins in the wilds of Ini-

talisman opening every door and heart.

forgiven where hearts hunger is counted
nc crime for the mild and comforting lies
that l told them.
&But one of the whole simple host, q
poor old woman living alone with a goat
and q pig in a hut, turned upon me. Had

Michael was was her America entirely.

A peep into one of the big up town
restaurants. patronized largely by women
out shopping, discloses the fact that
women ut luncheon are either excessively
economical, or rather extravagant. She
comes in flying, breathless, scans the bill
of fare for the quickest thing to consume
and the cheapest, orders a bouillon. or a
sandwich, a cup of tea, or perhaps just
water; gobbles 1t, and is of on the trail
of a bargain again in a jiffy.
Or else she comes in slowly and calmly,
with an evident intention Of spending a
pleasant hour, reads the bill of fare
through without haste, calls the waiter
10 inquire If this or that dish is fresh,
though she does not intend to order 1t;
finally calls for a salad. an ice cream, an
oyster patty, an eclaire, a cheese cake, and
whipped froth aud baked wind, dips q
little into each, while chatting with her
h.iend about the weather, the bargains,
the fashions, the theatre, her symptoms,
her dentist, her servants, her dressmaker
and her children; keeps h waiter hover
ing about in hopes of Tip, while she puts
on a tight pair of gloves and buttons them
up with a hairpin; is sure she has been
overcharged, and requires considerable
explanation to convince her to the con
trary, trips up to the desk to pay and
omits to count her change, and finally
letters out beaming with satisfaction, to
return a moment later in dire consterna-
ton, having left her parcels behind, and
insists on opening them all then and
there, to see If they have not been opened
and robbed.-New York Tribune.

The scientist Leuwenhock says: 81
have often compared the size of the thread
spun by full grown spiders with q hair of
my beard. For this purpose | placed tho
thickest part of the hair before the mi
croscope, and from the most accurate
judgment | could form, more than q
hundred of such threads placed side by
side could not equal the diameter of one
such hair. If, then, we suppose such n
hair to be of n round form, it follows that
10000 of the threads spun by the full
grown spider, when taken together, will
not be equal in substance to the size of q
single hair. Boston Budget.

The internal organization of a Japanese
newspaper office is a sad spectacle of daily
struggle with difficulties unknown else
where and really unnecessary here. The
Japanese written and printed character
consists of the Chinese ideographs, those
complicated square figures made up of an
apparent tumble of zigzags and crosses
and ticks and ~triangles and tails, and of
the original Japanese syllabary called
hama. Of tho former there are 90, 900 in
all, of which perhaps IA, 900 constitute
the scholars vocabulary, and nc fewer
than 4 200 are in common daily use; while
the forty-seven simple characters of kama
are known to everybody. Therefore the
Japanese compositor has to be prepared
to place in his stick any one of over 1000
different types-truly an appalling task.
From the nature of the problem several
consequences naturally follow. First, he
must be a good deal of a scholar himself.
to recognize all these instantly and &C
curately; secondly, his eyesight suffers
fearfully, and he generally wears a huge
pair of magnifying goggles; and third, as
it is physically impossible for any one
man TO reach 1000 types, a totally diff
ferent method of case arrangement has
to be devised.-Henry Norman in Phila-
delphia Times.
