There on the floor, clad only in blue
woOlen shirt, was the emaciated body of
Jim Harrington, starved to death. Evidently
he had attempted to crawl to the door, and
his strength failing had lain there till he
breathed his last Beside him, with his
great hairy hands claspiug the skeleton
fingers of his brother lay Charley with a
bullet in his head. He had his overcoat on,
and his hat, and from the appearance OF
things they concluded that having finally
found the place, and entered the door, the
sight of his starved brother so overcame him
that he drew his revolver and ended his own
unhappy life. The pistol lay few inches
from his right hand, where it had fallen as
his grasp relaxed In his saddlebags out
side were several days rati0ns showing
that he had not been long in the search, and
over the limb Of a tree we found his mittens,
where be laid them when he went in.
There are a good many people in the I'm
compahgre Mountains now. There are
miners in nearly every gulch, but the Lost
Cabin stands as it was found on that Spring
morning Every person who has been haz-
ardous enough to attempt to occupy il has
been oyertallen by disaster, and there isn't
man who knows this story that can be
persuaded to lift the latch to-day.

a fine time of it, VIXEN on turning q

Lieut.. Schmidt, however, did not
lose his presence Of mind. He pre-
tended that he had never seen his
Colonel before, and inaa changed voice
asked:
"Can you tell, me, SIT, where Lieut..
Schmidt lives? 1 ana his brother from

The Colonel gave the desired inform
alton and Lieut.. Schnidtiiaurried home,
and got into his uniform as soon as pos
sible. He thought he had, deceived his
superior officer, but next day when he
met his Colonel the latter said:

Ideal and Real 81. Bernards.

o. Before l saw one, always imagined the
st. Bernard to be as large us lion and
as strong as bull. The picture in my
youthful geography had made these i'm
presslons. when dog that I supposed
to be an overgrown setter was pointed out
as one Of the celebrated Alpine breed, my
cherished imaginative structures went clat-
tering to the ground. Many time had 1
in my early boyhood on winters night,
when it was showing hard outside, sat be-
fore cheerful fire and thought that was
the kind of weather when the sagacious St.
Bernard patrolled the mountain passes on
the lookout for storm bound travellers.
When some poor wretch half perishing in
the snow was found, his freezing blood
would be thawed by the dogs warm body
and the brandy flask so conveniently at
tached to the collar. After regaining
strength supposed the traveller would
mount the dogs back and the animal trot
off with him to the monastery. But it was
plain that this St. Bernard Che was q crack

man, could not tret; he was entirely too
straight in the stiles, It is doubtful if he
could have even walked fast enough to
keep himself from freezing to death on a
real cold night.-FOrest and Stream.

A Vanishing Bird,

The fate of the wild pigeon is under dis

appears to prevail that because these birds
are not seen in many sections where they

from this continent. 1t is prot able that
this hypothesis can be proved an uns So,
found in scattered focks in the far west
their flight and nesting grounds changing
with the fluctuations of the mast supply
on which they depend for food. Such
hocks have been reported within few
years, and since that time there has been
no event which might be accepted as an
adequate explanation of their extinction.
The fact remains that the wild pigeon has
not held its own, NOR stemmed the cur
rent Of settlement and civilization which
has swept it from the great areas where it's

SNAKES IN PIECES.
A Serpent That Joined Itself Together
After Being Cut in Two.


After Being Cut in Two.
Persons who never saw o joint snake are
naturally incredulous as to the fact of
their existence. The observation of the
writer and the killing of four or FIVE of the
critters" in his life has removed all
doub' s, SO far as he is concerned, says the
Corinth (Miss.) Herald. The only open
question remaining is: Do the disjointed
snakes unite the pieces and live again!
This is by many persons asserted, and yet
by as many disputed. The uniting is just
as reasonable US the disjointing. 1t is the
tail, which constitutes about two-thirds of
the animal, and no: the body proper that
disjoints. An old darkey whom We inter-
viewed said:
II know they gets together again, for I
killed the tail of one, left in little short
pieces; the head got away, and when I got
back to the place the head had gathered all
the pieces together and gone off" John
Patterson, very intelligent colored man,
testified more directly to the point. He
have watched them; the head and body
just back up to the pieces and bitches
them on like coupling cars" Being closely
/ cross questioned he said The snake
searched about in the grass til it found the
pieces, then turned its tail end 10 the piece
and bent its head back and hitched the
piece on; then gathered up the other pieces
tn same way"
The skin Of these reptiles is somewhat
OF the nature of scales running around in
rings. The joints are on the dovetail
order. the flesh appearing to be spongy and
bloodless, with a small bone running
through the middle. When molested the
snake throws off its tail iato several
pieces, and while the attention is directed
to the the foundering pieces, the head and
main body slips off and hides. This much
We know and we don't doubt It's ability to
put itself together AGAR" if left alone to
\ the task.

The Ugly Straw Hat.


"When will handsome straw hat
ever be made? was the question put to
Fulton street halter yesterday.
"What shape would suit you?" said
the halter.
"That is not the question:" said the
reporter. I'm not expected to furnish
designs, but to criticise them in my"
Excuse me" said the halter. @Straw
hats are made, or have been, in almost
every conceivable style and shape. If
any of these shapes had suited
the public they would continue in favor,
but what suits one person doesn't suit
another. New York is rather peculiar
in respect to straw hats. In other cities
there will generally be prevailing styles
every season, but in New York every
body seems to want different kind,
and it is purely matter of luck with
the halter whether he can strike the
public fancy"
"What will be the style this sum-
mer?"
ct is impossible to say, as I just ex-
planned, but sort of derby shaped hat
with half fiat top and nearly fiat
brim will be introduced think it will
have 60, but that is a mere guess.
The trouble is that the season is so
short there is no time to wait and see
what is going to be liked, for it takes
some four weeks after you give your
order to get your stock in.
what kind of summer hats are liked
best?"
"The Mackinaw strawiis by all odds
the best. Nobody wears Panama hat
now. They are the hottest hats you can
put on. They will hold water. What
made them favorites at one time was
that they were expensive and durable.
The Manila hat is favorite with some.
1t is light and cool and is made in any
shape. There was Manila hat with a
very broad brim wornaa few years ago
that was very pretty, but New Workers
will not wear broad lnims now. Then
the lawn tennis hat Of white felt is a
favorite for travelling and for seaside
hotel wear. 1t is better and prettier
than cap for travelling and goes just
as we'll into the pocket. The helmet
hat, which was copied from the cork
helmet of India, never had much of q
20 here. It was too clumsy and big"
"What other kinds OF straw are there
besides the Mackinaw?"
ooh, several. There are the English
splits and the English Dunstables.
Some of these are SO fine that it takes
as much as sixty yards of braid to make
hat Then there are the Milan braid
from Italy and the Canton braid from
China, but the Mackinaw is the best"
