Where Eels Are Caught.

Very early in the spring men go out
with spears in the swampy meadows that
border the little creeks and tread about
with bare feet until they come upon q
place where the mud is soft. In such a
spot there is likely to be a spring of fresh
water, and the spears thrustdowp through
the ooze bring up at every stroke between
their prongs writhing eels. 1t il nothing
unusual to get three or four bucketfuls
put of one hole. Most of the eols mar
keted, however-and vast quantities Of
them are brought here-are taken by the
familiar process known as ''bobbing."
In other1 words, they are fished for at
night with punches of worms done up in
loops at the end of a string. Many are
caught In traps known as Zee pots" "
from which the poor victim is unable to
make his escape, having once strayed in
after the food set as a bait. Eel skins
are worth So q hundred for fails. They
are salso used as bluefish bait, and by
rheumatic patients to tie around the limb
affected.-Boston Cor. New Orleans Plea

1t was not alone the Paraguayan men
and boys who had to bear arms in that
struggle. Food for powder" Of that
kind was oon exhausted. Then came
the women's turn to fight, and, indeed,
from an early period of the war, mothers,
wives and s~weethearts had donned the
soldiers uniform and fought brayely in
the ranks with those they loved.
After a certain battle, when the bury
ing parties were busily pursuing their
grim work, they came upon the bodies
of W loving companions in arms,
clasped in a last embrace.
The head Of one rested on the others
breast, while an arm was closely drawn
round him, the disengaged hand being
raised to stanch the life blood flowing
from a cruel cash. They looked like two
r comrades whose friendship death
itself had not been able to sever.
That, however, was not all their his
tory. A wounded mother, In a soldiers
guise, had dragged herself to the spot
where her son lay bleeding, and there,
regardless of her own fatal injuries, had
placed his head Upon her breast, and
tried to soothe his last living moments,
as she had done his first on earth.-Win-
throp's "Reminiscences"

Indians and Spanish Friars,

The aborigines never showed any zeal
GUS faith in Christianity. Unlike the
negroes in the southern states, they took
no delight in singing hymns among them
selves; unlike the Polynesian Christians,
they never went out to convert the neigh
boring heather. When they escaped
from the missions, as they frequently did,
they always left their new religion behind
them. In the course of three-quarters OF
a century thousands of such fugitives fled
to the San Joaquin and Sacramento val
leys, and to the Sierra Nevada, and
mingled with the wild tribes, without
leaving the least trace there of permanent
Christian influence.
The friars did not teach the abort
gines to be great mechanics. Among its
Spanish settlers, the territory did not
possess one blacksmith, carpenter, wheel
wright, shipwright, or turner competent
to take a respectable position among his
fellow craftsmen at the time in London,
Paris or New York. No good pillow,
good wagon, good boat or good rifle was
ever made in a mission workshop. The
Indians did not have an opportunity to
learn thoroughly any mechanical trade,
or any of the finer branches of horti-
culture. There vas nc sdllful nursery
man among them.-John s. Hittel in
Overland Monthly.

Some ludicrous stories are told about
adventures with the mosquitoes. l
have been solemnly assured hat very
often when they have attacked a boat
and driven its captain and crew below
they have broken the windows of the
cabin by plunging in 5warms against
them and nave attempted to burst in the
doors. Although this may be something
of an exaggeration, 1t Is nevertheless
true that frequently horses and cattle,
after the most frightful su~fferings, have
from mosquito bites on board the
vessels. Not long g a herd of val
liable cattle were being taken from the
United States to a ranch upon the Mag
dalena river and became 30 desperate
under the attacks of the mosquitoes that
they broke from their stalls, jumped into
the water and all were drowned. Pas
sengers intending to make the voyage
usually provide themselves with protec-
ton in hes shape of mosquito bars, mead
nets and thick gloves, and when on deck
are compelled to tie their sleeves around
their wrists and their pantaloons around
their ankles.-American Magazine.

Experiments are still being made under
the direction of the Russian government,
with the view of finding a process, at
once practicable as well as desirable on
the score of economy and cleanliness, of
solidifying the petroleum used as fuel.
According to the report made by DIR.
Kaufman, who has had the principal
charge of these experiments, a successful
method of accomplishing the desired re-
suits consists simply in heating the oil
and afterward adding from / to .
per cent. Of soap. The latter dissolves
in the oil, and the liquid on cooling forms
a mass having the appearance of cement
and the hardness of compact tallow. The
product is hard to light, burns slowly and
without smoke, but develops much heat,
and leaves about . per cent. Of q hard,
black residuum.-New York Sun.

THE DAY WE CELEBRATE.

Twenty one years ago to day a party of
army officers and representatives of the
Union Pacific railway, which was then
being built across the continent, assem-
bled together on the site now occupied by
Cheyenne for the joint purpose of naming
the city and celebrating the natal day of
our country. This was months before the
railroad had reached this point and a year
before the territory OF Wyoming had been
organized.
The present TOWNSHIP was her a bleak
prairie, with the grass knee deep and not
a tree anywhere to be seen. In a few
weeks the town, with its population Of
over 1000, had well earned the name of
the Magic CITY. Cheyenne was the win
ter terminus of the Union Pacific, and
many people now living. here remember it
as u giltedged community such as we read
about 10 the pages of wild Western li;cra-
ture.
The onward movement of the railroad
gave the town its first temporary set back.
At that time its struggle for permanency
began. 1t soon became a supply point
for military and Indian supplies and an
Quitting center. A period of ups and
downs followed until the Black Hills ex-
citement in 1876. Things at that period
were pretty fiat but as the supplies for the
Hills country were drawn principally
from here business started ahead again
with a rush. No railroad was however
built from this point and the Northern
Pacific ultimately captured the Hills trade
from Pierre, Oak.
Meanwhile the cattle business had begun
to attract widespread attention and money
flowed into Cheyenne as it now flows into
the treasury vaults at Washington from
the wal tariff taxation. Days of marvel
Gus prosperity followed. Cheyenne was
the enter Of the industry and here many
of those most largely engaged in the bust
ness made their homes. The town was
beautifed and adorned on every side until
it soon became beyond comparison the
most handsomely built city in the West.
But the bubble days OF the cattle bust
ness have vanished. Prices dropped out
of sight and climatic influences affected
the business disastrously. A radical
change of methods became necessary and
for the past two years this change has
been rapidly going on. The cattle bust
ness is now conducted on conservative
business principles and everything seems
conspiring TO bring about renewed pros
perity. A bright day has again dawned
for the city and territory and the coming
year will show wonderful development in
both.

Haunt. of tho white Goats.

White goats have been known to hunt
ers ever since Lewis and Clarke crossed
the continent, but they have always
ranked as the very rarest and most diff
cult to get of all American game. This
reputation they oweto the nature of their
haunts, rather than to their own wariness,
for they have been so little disturbed that
they are less shy than either deer or
sheep. They are found here and there
on the highest, most inaccessible mou
tain peaks down even to Arizona and
New Mexico; but being fitted for cold
climates, they are extremely scarce very
where south of Montana and northern
Idaho, and the great majority even of
the most experienced hunters nave hardly
30 much as heard of their existence. In
Washington territory, northern Idaho
and northwestern Montana they are not
uncommon, and are plentiful in parts of
the mountain ranges of British America
and Alaska Their preference for the
highest peaks is due mainly to their dis
like of warmth, and in the north-even
south of the Canadian line-they are
found much lower down the mountains
than is the case farther south.
They are very conspicuous animals,
with their snow white coats and polished
black horns, but their pursuitnecessitates
30 much toll and hardship that not onein
ten of the professional hunters has ever
killed one; and 1 know of but n or two
eastern sportsmen who can boast agoat's
head as a trophy. But this will soon
cease to be the case, for the Canadian
Pacific railway has opened the haunts of
where the goats are most plentiful, and
any moderately adventurous and hardy
riheman a be sure Of getting n by
taking a little time, and that, too,
whether he is a skilled hunter or not,
since at present the game is not difficult
TO approach. The white goat will be
common long after the elk has vanished,
and it has already outlasted the buffalo.

evolution of tho Colored Race.

The negro is changing in appearance
and losing some of the birthmarks pecul-
lar to the African race. The new gen.
GRAFTON is showing the effects of a higher
culture. Especially is this noticeable in
the towns where contact with the whites
shows its effect. The fiat nosed, kinky
headed negro is passing away and be-
coming an unknown race. All the col
ored children, no matter how dusky in
hue, show the change. Among the
females, long hair of that peculiar woolly
appearance, hangs in long braids or curls
down their backs. Aquiline moses and
smaller mouths with thinner lips are the
rule. For years, and in fact ever since
their freedom, the negresses have en-
deavored to do away with the short kinky
hair bestowed upon them by their ances-
tors. Much of their spare change is in
vested in various tonics and invigorators,
and the long attention and care bestowed
upon it is shown in their descendants,
The South Georgia negro is an evidence
of evolution, the survival of the fittest.-

our PLEASANT NEIGHBoR.

- w ~
There is a class of people in this world
whose chiefest Joy is to deride their neigh
bors and find flaws in the motives of the
best intentioned act. If misfortune
should come to Others they seem to take
pleasure in contemplating it. The best
example of this ungenerous failing which
we can readily call to mind is that of the
Laramie papers and the people of that
public sentiment. No occasion is let go
by when an unkiud word may be said
about this town. and plain facts are often
grossly and maliciously distorted to place
world. The latest thing in this direction
is a statement in the Boomerang TO the
effect tina: the salary Of the postmaster at
this point has been reduced 800 a year
and the salary OF the Laramie postmaster
increased correspondingly. This it al
leges is incontrovertible proof that Chey-
enne is on the down grade and Laramie is
booming with an extraordinary boom.
Now what does the official report OF the
postmaster general show as to the amount
of postal business done in this pretentious
little place across the range? 1t shows
hat for 1887 (the report for 1888 not
having yet been issued) the gross receipts
Of the Laramie office were S7,S66; the
gross receipts of the Cheyenne office were
$40, 9SS. SO. The Cheyenne people paid
81, SSl for box rent and the Laramie peo-
pie 1891. The Laramie postmaster now
gets a salary of 1000, the Cheyenne
postmaster 81, 400. The former is allowed
5000 for clerk hire, the latter 81, 300.
Unfortunately for the Cheyenne post
master his salary is based upon the gross
receipts of his office. In the past year
the free delivery system went into effect
here, and letter carriers distribute a good
deal Of the mail. About one-half Of the
post Office boxes have therefore been
given up by business men who now have
their mail matter delivered to them by
carrier, as in all cities, a luxury
TO which Laramie in the nature of
things cannot aspire for many years to
come. In addition. + 1T Russell has been
made a post office in the past year. Re-
ceipts from mail matter for probably 500
people have been thus taken away from
the Cheyenne Office, although all the mail
comes here and is distributed Just the
same.
1t is not Simply in postal matteys but in
everything else hat goes TO make up a
thriving young city that Laramie is u slow
coach and such sla9gers as she has made

Some important experiments have been
made nj the Shoeburyness school Of gun
merry 10 high angle firing. A London
correspondent writes: Probably no step
OF recent years Is likely TO lead to greater
results, for If the experiment should be
repeated with the same success, II Is un-
deniable that war ships will have to be as
fully protected on their decks as they are
now on their broadsides. The expert
ments were made with the 9-inch or
90 -centimeuer gun used as a howitzer.
An elevation of 81 degs. was given and
battering charges were used with Palliser
shells. Out of four shots three fell with
in a space of 500 feet by 80 feet, repre-
senting the deck Of a first class ironclad,
and the range attained was twelve milesl
Now, if it be really possible, three
times out of four, or for that matter
once out of four times, to throw a nine
inch shell upon the deck of a ship in
midchannel between Dover and Calais,
another proof will have been given that
in the tedious duel between gun and
armor the gun has much the best Of it.
What Is very important, too, is that the
heavy charges and the high angle did
not strain either gun or carriage in the
least, and n Of the officers present has
said that he believed the gun would
stand As degs. of elevation without in
jury, while with 40 dogs. a range OF
fifteen miles would be secured. Now, at
fifteen miles, a ship Is ''hull down" 30 ii
comes TO this, that we a throw a nine
inch shell on to the deck Of a ship before
we can see It'll Surely this is the most
marvellous thing yet attempted in gun
merry, which of later years has peer SO
fruitful in surprises. Army and Navy
