HOW to Keep Cider Sweet.

The best and only method Of preventing
fermentation in early-nads cider is by heaG~
ing to one hundred andseyenty- five degrees
Fahrenheit and placing in an air-tight pack
age and sealing up While hot. following the
usual method of canning fruit. Cider put
up by this process have kept through tho
second summer AS sweet as when /, ran
from the press. Tie objection to this
method is that it changes to some extent
the favor of the cider. and when opened
for use it fern,ents just as does canned
fruit. "A method of preserving late-mado
cider is to add some antiseptic advertised
in the cider journals, which has as it's acsi,

How She Discouraged q Nice But Very
Tinlid Young Man.
Stories concerning Amelie Riyes personal
sccentricities are not wanting, writes
Brooklyn EuQle correspondent. Here is one
current in the clubs: A certain young man
cot unknown to fame in social circles, and
with the record OF many and brilliant con-
quests behind him, not q great while since
before the lady's recent marriage-was
asked to spend few days in the Virginia
home of the author of s'The Quick or the
Dead"
He made no boasts, but there WAS the
sight of battle in his eyes as he set out for
The meeting with this noted slaughterer OF
sex. He YVES determined to vindicate the
superiority Of man over woman. He a.
rived in the morning, but the authoEess was
Invisible until dinner time, when she sud
denly appeared on the scene gorgeously
Rttired, languid and condescending. The
yound man had some experience with that
attitude in women, and new how to meet
It. All during the meal h felt that the lady
was measuring him mental. and evidently
deciding On some coup. After dinner 1T
fell. A. drive was proposed, and though the
weather was somewhat threatening there
was still the long spring twilight, and the

a tandem was brought, consisting Of two
wild Virginia ponies that inspired neither
confidence nor pleasure in the New Yorker.
Miss Rives simply added hat and gloves to
her toilet, and took the reins. The ponies
began their career by 81 sudden bolt down
che drive, and varied the way with playful
attempts to climb the fences on either side
the road, while the cart followed their gy-
cations in such fashion that nothing but to
hold madly to the seat was possible After
some ten miles of this the storm suddenly
broke with fury, and 1t became as black az
midnight. The ponies were induced to
surn about and the drive home was begun
through furious rain, and lit only With
lightning flashes.
Miss Rives declared that it was impossible
TO drive ali that distance back, and that
there was short cut through the fields
which might be taken by pulling down
fences and driving over plo,ved ground.
Then began the most remarkable tandem
drive on record. The little darkey groom
demolished the fences in their path, and the
wild, milling cattle dragged them
through furrowed fields and over bitches,
while the elements roared and poured.
They did arrive at last, and strange to say,
whole; but that young man was cowed,
and had an urgent telegram from New
York next day summoning him home,
while the young Southerner watched him
depart with the gloom Of suppressed de-
light in her eyes.

SAN cLEMENTl ISLAND.
Inhabited by Ono Man, Twenty Thousen6
sheep and Two Dogs.


Frank Morrison has kindly furnished
reporter with some very interesting 1acse
concerning certain discoveries on the Island
of San Clement, which lies of the coast
from Lag,lna some twenty or thirty miles,
says the Riverside (Cal.) Tribune. A party
of gentlemen, among whom WAS Arthur
Cheatham, OF Santa Ana, visited the island
by yacht FROM San Diego. Upon arriving
near their destination, said Mr.. Cheatham,
the first thing that attracted especial at
tention was couple Of dogs swimming out
from shore to meet them, exhibiting at the
same time unbounded pleasure at seeing
the faces of men once more. The dogs, 1t
was afterward learned, belonged to the old
man of the island, who has lived there con-
t;nuously and alone for twenty-six years,
his sole companions being two dogs, cat
and about twenty thousand sheep which it
is his duty to look after. The sheep are
owned by San Francisco company. He told
his visitors that the dogs always exhibit
these signs OF delight upon the approach Of
callers, and also that they invariably try
to sn1uggle themselves on board when the
visitors craft leaves. They don't like the
solitude as we'll as their llaster Or else they
banker after change of diet.
Besides the domestic sheep there are also
good many wild sheep and foxes to be
found on tae island, while around tbs
shores great numbers OF fish, seals, etc,
disport themselves. The size and beauty
OF the shells found on the shores are most
extraordinary. All coiors and sizes OF
abalone and other varieties lie in heaps
Some of the specimens brought home by
Mr.. Cheathara are most beautiful
Another gentleman of the party secured
a couple OF very handsome leopard sea,'
skins.
OF all the..many strange discoveries made
by the party On the island, which seemed to
be land OF wonders, none was SO startling
as thei: coming suddenly upon IL level sort
of plain, which was strewn with the skele~
tons Of about i've hundred human beings.
They lie scattered about in q promiscuous
manner which suggests that the whole lot
must have been suddenly at once killed.
They were apparently Indians, and the
place where their remains now lie is
yeritable ssvailey Of bones"
The island Itself is about tWenty-eight
miles long, and has width OF several
miles. There are no trees Of any sort to be
found, and the sheep snbsist largely upon
sort Of sage grass or Dush. There Is no
spring water on the island, that very neces-
sary item being supplied from large
natural basin In which sufficient rain is
caught to supply the needful in that line.
Mr. Cheat1,am was very enthusiastic
over what he saw, and declared that moth
ing would please hirn moro than to spend
several months exploring this terra incog-

The Amer,cau smar Boy,

The smartness and independence, not to
cay irreverence, of city children who run
much in the streets was, according to the
New York Tribune, well exemplfed by a
boy, evidently belonging to the working
class, who got on surface car on the
Fourth avenue line the other day, paid his
fare and seated himself comfortably. When
the car became crowded, pretentious-
looking gentleman, somewhat in the sere
and yellow leaf, came in, spied the boy, and
asked him to get up. NO." replied the boy,
II paid my money and Pm, going to keep my
seat" "Boy,'' said the gentleman, in Sc
we're and solemn tone, eff your father came
into this car, wouldn't you give him your

Miners with Green hair.


According to the Territorial Enterprise a
contract has been let on the Martin White
mine at Ward, New, and work is to be re-
sumed forthwith. A queer phenomenon is
connected with the working of the Martin
White ore. The ore is very base, and it is
necessary to roast the whole Of it. During
the roasting process no disagreeable or del
eterious fumes are observable, yet the hair
and the boards of all the men engaged about
the works are soon dyed bright and permar
nent green. Even the eyebrows of the
working-men are as green as grass. In
scores of Nevada mines ores of various
kinds are smelted and roasted, but at none
of them is either the hair Or boards of the
workmen changed from their natural hue.
It is said that there is less arsenic in the
ore OF the Martin White than in that Of
many other mines. Old shelters say arsenic
has no effect on the hair, and all declare that
the emerald hue impaired to the hair is due
to the presence OF some unknown and mys-
FERROUS metal or mineral. White, light and
sandy boards and hair take grass green,
whereas black or dark brown hair is dyed a
deep bottle green. The hair is not injured
by its change of color. It retains its origi-
nal softness and strength

cells of thrilling leap for life which,
though it happened years ago, has never
been surpassed since in the State. 1t was
in the sixties. Mitchel!'s bridge across Mul-
berry creek was the tal}est in Harrison
County. A swell in the creek had mis-
placed an arch, and dozen men had as-
sembled to repair the damage. The floor
ing for twelve feet had been removed. It
was twenty-five feet to the water beneath.
Suddenly the hammers ceased and The
men listened intently to the approaching
chatter of d horses hoofs.

.He's splittin' the wind, too,' said an,
other.
s'That little hlly knows how tc pick up

'tDang my buttops!"
This was said just as the rider appeared
in sight, presenting picture of robust
manhood, guiding with unerring hand the
aeetest little mare in Western Georgia,
He was clad in a fine broadclcth suit, his
feet in pair of the best calfskin boots, and
they armed and ornamented with neat,
small spurs.
On he came.
The men were lost in admiration and
stood with mouth and eyes wide open,
transhxed to the spot.
He neared the bridge
AS if by magic the crowd were awakened
to the horrible death that awaited the man

"StopI stopl" shouted the man.
"The floors upl''
"You can't cross!''
The horses hoofs struck the bridge.
"Head him off!''
"He'u be kiledp'
''Stop his .horse!"
And they all rushed to the middle Of the
bridge.
"Clear the track!'' whooped the impetuous
rider, and the way was cleared.
He reached the brink. The gallant mare

less. The rider planted himself firmly in
The saddle, gathered the reins tighter and
sank the spurs deeper into the sides Of the
mare.
She squatted, leaped wildly into the air

of the kind in the history Of Georgia.

Stop a..

One ofthe worst evils to the rising gei
Grafton Of our people has recently come
under the observation Of a TRIBUNE
representative. 1t is the practice o. thu
swell young dudes and other fellows q
that ilk to stop young misses Of their
acquaintance on the street aud engage
in long conversations. OF the nature OF
these conversations no one but them
selves are aware, but the public is aware
that such conduct is unbecoming and
indeed reprehensible. The age Of these
girls range from thirteen to eighteen,
and while there may be nothing wrong
in their talk, it is calculated to delract
from them to some extent the respect
of thinking people, No gentleman will
presume on his acquaintance to stop a
lady in the street to engage in converse
zion no matter what the degree Of inti-
macy may be. This article is intended
for the eyes of the parents as well as tor
the young people themselves, and is a
warning to fathers and mothers to see
that their daughters are protected from
the vicious habit of some young men
