Tie ,:.Ee a Girl p:scax.rsa.

Among tho mines here is the Sunset, which
was discovered two years ago by Miss Nina
Ingraham, stepdaughter of Mr.. Meylette
Wandering out from camp ono day, she re-
turned with few specimens which she had
picked up. Her mother deemed them worth
investigation, and the same afternoon Miss
Ingraham went with her father in quest of
the place where she had found tho ores
Clambering up the side of cliff with the
grace of mountain gazellc, she stopped
down and marked the spot just as the sun
was sinking behind the distant ridge of the
Elk range. a discovery stake had been
prepared, and was Immediately set up on the
spot. About fifteen months ago this claim
was leased and bonded to the Gillespie
Brothers, who at once organized tho Sunset
Mining comaany and began working it.-As-

a plague nf Tigers I'm .Iayu.

According to tho administ alton report Of
Java recently laid before the Dutch cham
bers portions Of that island arc being dcpopu-
lated through tigers. In 1882 tho population
of n village in tho southwest of the Bantam
province was removed and transferred to un
island off tho coast in consequence Of the
trouble caused to the people by tigers.
These animals have now become an intolcra-
bic pest in parts of tho same province Tho
total population is about Goo, 900, and in 1877
sixty-one were killed by tigers, and in conse-
qurnco Of tho dread existing among the peo-
pie it has been proposed to deport tho inhab-
itants of the villages most threatened to other
parts Of the country whero tigers are not SO
common, and where they can pursue their
agricultural occupations with greater do
gree of security. At present they fear to 90
anywhere near the borders Of tho forest.
The people at present seem disinclincd, or
they lack the means and courage, to attack
and destroy their enemy, although considcra-
bic rewards are offered by the government
for the destruction of beasts of prey. In 1883
the reward for killing royal tiger was
raised to 200 florins. 1t appears also that tho
immunity of the tiger is in part due to super
stition, for it is considered wrong to kill ono
unless he attacks first or otherwise does in

this particular district, and, since a rising a
few years ago, have been taken away by the

Varieties of Olives.

The designation Of queen has no reference
to size, only tho variety, they being round
the others oval-in shape. The olives put up
for table use by the Bordeaux bottlers are Of
several different varieties. The large Spanish
olives, known to us as queen olives, are
known to the trade as padroncs Sevilas.
These, by the way, are quite a distinct va
riety from the other varieties grownin Spain,
known as manZanillas, which are used for
making oil, and the gorlallcs, having much
more meat but less OIL Tho smaller olives
put up i'll Bordeaux are principally of French
growth and are known us amelleally, vcrdal-
les and lucques tho latter called here crcs-
cent olives on account of their shape, and are
much preferred to any other for table use
The vcrdalles have strong, full favor, and
arc much used for sauces, to be served with
meats, while the amelieaux have n little more
oil and less flavor. There is also fourth va
riety, known as picholics similar to the amel-
leaux in character, but larger and longer.
Olive farcies are amcllcaux olives stuffed
with anchovies and capers. Asa rule the
American trade prefers the queen olives on
account of their size and fine appearance. the
smaller size being as large as the largest of
other varieties; but in Europe the smaller
olives are quite generally preferred on rc
count of their flavor and the finer quality Of
the meat.-American Analyst.

Leather Bracelets,

There is no limit to the artistic beauty of
modern shoes and slippers for indoor wear
Precious stones are largely used for the deco
ration of fancy footwear by eastern fashion

bracelets is not surprising. Soft ooze leather
and also the finer qualities of kid are used for
the purpose, and very pretty they are. Those

any length to serve a friend. and he had also
the strongest affections shall never forget
tho incidents concerning tho loss of his
daughter Theodosia, then wife of Governor

and sho set out, as is known, from George

of Col Burr, went on by land to accompany
her The fact Of tho departure of tho vessel
with his daughter and Mr. Green OH board

LAST LOVE.
r!le first flower Of the spring is not 50 fair

The first flower of the spring is not SO fair
.: bright as one the ripe midsummer brings
The first faint note the forest warbler sings
Is not so rich with feeling. or SO rare,
As when, full master Of his art, the air
browns in the liquid sea Of song he filings
Like silver spray from beak and breast and
wings
The artists earliest effort, wrought with care.
The bard's first ballad, written in his tears
Set by his later toll seems poor and tame.
And into nothing dwindles at the test
So with the passions of maturer years;
Let those who will demand the first fond flame.
Give me the hearts last love-for that is best
