Legend of Monkeys and Stones.

Prince Carl, of Sweden and Nor
way, when starting out from
Hyderabad, India, on tiger hunt, in
1888, was struck by the scenery
around the city, where the undula-
ting ground is strewed with huge
blocks of stone, as if they had been
tossed hither and thither by nature in
some capricious mood. Some of the
blocks are piled upon each other in
such manner as to cause q lively
Imagination to fancy them giants and
trolls barring the way. According to
Indian folk lore, these blocks were
brought hither, some four thousand
years ago, in this manner: The
monkeys, which in the earliest of
times in great numbers inhabited the
lands beyond the Himalayas, seized
on the remarkable idea of building a
bridge between the mainland and
Ceylon, and headed by their leaders,

families. Now that is pretty severe
thing to say. But one time I went
to visit farmers wife in Ohio, or
rather he was what they call in that
state stock man, because he raised
different kinds of stock, and in the
afternoon he came and invited me to
go and see his fine two-year-old colt;
SO his wife and | went out to the gate
and he led the colt up, and sure
enough it was beauty. And as I
admired it he went on to tell that the
sire was thoroughbred Norman, inn
ported by Howser and Harpster, and
the mother had good blood and that
he had taken such pains to give her
the best feed and care, and that she
was not allowed to do bit of work
for six months before the colt came,
and the colt was perfectly healthy
and he was sure Of a good many pre-
miums on him, etc.
But as he led the colt away, his
wife said, that colt is just two days
older than his baby, looking tenderly
at a little spiritual looking girl she
held in her arms. Then continued
she: My husband tells what good
care he gave the mother of that colt,
and SO he did; in fact, the boys and
all hands were taking care of her.
But did my own work, house,
cleaning, cooked for hands during
strengthening and complaining, and
then | had to bake every day except
Sabbath and wash day. Said she,
you know have four boys older than
this little girl. They did the milking
and helped me what they could. l
did the rest. Why, l asked in sur
prise, didn't you have help? Only
the boys, she said. asked and
urged my husband to get help, but
he kept saying, when | get time, and
when such a thing is done, and all
the time the colts mother was the
constant care; until | became des-
perate and just worked away, hoping
l might die; but l have this little
delicate girl and she has never seen a
well day as result of it all. Why!
l exclaimed, you certainly didn't
think he cared more for the colt and
its mother than he did for his wife
and child? Oh, no, not just that,
she answered, in the same smooth,
even voice, but you see, the money is
in them, and among stock men and
business men there is kind of RI
valry that seems to make them lose
sight of everything in the wild ambi-
ton to excel and to see their names
in print.
Now, look about you, good people,
and see if this is an isolated case.
Now, my friends, l have in a very
hasty (and to myself) unsatisfactory
manner given you this paper with but
one purpose. That is, that it might
be the means of directing the atten-
ton of good, well-meaning people to
some of those things which seem to
be overlooked, and at the same time
cause so much unhappiness and sor-
row in our homes and in our lives.
And my faith is, the further on, as
each generation outgrows the mis-
takes of the past, and aims to leave a
better domestic as well as q HIGHER

The American Boomer.

In letter to 7. c. Power, John Res-
serer sends the following clippings from
Buenos Ayres paper, showing how the
American works the real estate racket
down in that country:
A truly novel event will take place to-
night in the form of Il combined auction
and concert at the National Theater.
The instrumental part of the entertain
ment will be provided by Sr. Furlotti
and his orchestra. Messrs. Tieaelro &
Co. will sing the solos, and the audience
will be expected, by liberal hiddinss. to
become satisfactory chorus.
The sale is of land at Mira. Mar, near
Mar del Plata, and plans of the property
are shown on silk pocket handcrchiefs
which are being distributed gratis,
One of the pieces which will be played
BY the orchestra is the "Rivacavla
Saloon" Muzurka, composed by Sr, Fur
lotti. We cannot, until some fair friend
has played it to us, give any opinion of
the musical merits of this composition,

Stewards Mining Bill.

That the idea advanced heretofore IN
The Age, that Congress passed mining
laws in accordance with the ,lesire of
the general holy of miners, is correc.,
was shown on April 9th, when the Sem
ate passed, without a word of explana.
tion, the bill introduced by Senator
Stewart, of Nevada. to amend the NM
ing laws of the United States, relying
entirely on Mr.. Stewards knowledge of
the subjects involved in the bill. As
this bill is one of the most important
pieces of legislation that the present
Congress has touched, the following tel
egraphic summary OF the bill is given ut
length, and every one interested in min
ing will at once see its Importance, and
will recognize the benefit of the propos-
ed changes in the law, though it certainly
does not fully cover the abuses recently
shown up in The Age.
The bill corrects large number OF
minor defects in the laws and makes
some material changes. Among the
changes are the following: The amount
of work necessary to hold placer claim
is reduced from 500 per annum to $50,
and limits the amount of ground that
may be included in patent to Ito acres.
