Always on Time.

The Fernandina Ella Mirror is re-
sponsible for the following dog story:
County Clerk Wolff owns a little black
and-tan dog that has a habit of visiting
his master daily at 4 o'clock p. NJ.
One day during the recent rains a hard
shower set in Just about 4 O'Clock. and
the Clerk and his Deputy were specu-
lating as to whether the dog would
make his usual visit, when he was heard
rushing up stairs. He reached the Of
flee dripping wet two minutes late,
which fact he seem to feel. After the
adjournment of the County Commits
sioners recently and before the Board
left the room, the clerk was busy writ
ing up the minutes Of the meeting,
when he heard the well-known foot
steps of his visitor. Without raising
his eyes from the minute book George
remarked that it was 4 o'clock. There
being no clock in the room, and the
Clerk not having referred to his watch,
those present asked what made him
think SO, when he replied that his dog
was coming. Watches were drawn.
and, although some of them varied q
minute or two, that of the clerk pointed
precisely to 4 o'clock. Another pecu-
lisrity Of the dog, and one his master
greatly appreciates, is that he is never
at home at meal times, preferring to
eat with neighbours

LESSON SURROUNDINGS.

The prophet Samuel privately anoint-
ed Saul before parting from him, max
ing to him special predictions as to
what should occur to him on his way
home; sand all those signs cameto pass
that day" Il Sam. 10 1-l3). On his
return home, Saul, however, did not
mention 'the matter of the kingdom"
to his uncle q Sam. 10 14-16. The
people were called together by Samuel
at Mizpah, and Saul was pointed out as
the future king, though he had hidden
himself Il Sam. 10 17-24). The king
dom was then established, though APP
parently not in full form; while some
malcontents did not acknowledge Saul

About this tlme,-one month after,
according to the S~eptuagint (see Rev.

the Ammonite attacked Jabesh-G ilead,
offering to make a treaty with the in
habitants on the condition of putting
out their right eyes. They asked q
seven days respite, during which Saul,
who had reused all Israel to their re-
lief came and obtained a decisive VIC
tory over the Ammonites Il Sam. II

east, in the opposite direction from the
Philistine invasions. 1t was proposed
that the malcontents be put to death
but Saul objected q Sam. 10 ~, 49,.
Samuel then proposed an assembly al
Gilgal, to s'renew the kingdom there
Saul was formally installed as king q
Sam. II : IA, 15), and the lesson tells OF
what followed.
The place was Gilgal, where the
I~sraelites made their first encampment
after crossing the Jordan Josh. 4 10,

up, and the ark remained until removed

opALs FOR A MERE soNo.
The Mines In the State OF Quere-
taro, Mexico.

Senior Jose Gonzales Cosio, brother
of the governor, is owner of six OF the
finest opal mines for which the state OF
Oueretaro is noted. Only n of the
mines is now being worked and about
100 men are now employed digging out
the opal bearing rock.
The mines are located about twenty
five leagues from the city and the ore Is
brought to Queretaro on the backs oil
mules, and in his residence in the city
Senior Cosio personally superintends
the polishing of the stones, which is
done by about twenty skilled Mexican
lapidaries.
The profits from these mines are
large, owing to the fact that the laborer
employed in the mines is paid at the
rate of % cents per day and the polish
ers receive on an average 70 cents per
day.
The mines can only be reached by a
two days journey on horseback from
Queretaro, but a visit well repays the
time spent, writes a correspondent of
the Kansas City Times The stones
are found in a peculiar rocky formation
that very much resembles Tennessee
marble, but which at onc suggests vol
canic origin, as the stone is thickly in
terspersed with erystallizations and
strengthening volcanic glass.
The first layer of o~pal-bearing rock
is found on the surface of the ground
and is generally about five feet thick.
This is followed by u layer of earth OF
about the same thickness and is in turn
succeeded by another strata of opal
bearing rock, and so on it continues for
many feet in depth.
Many handsome stones are ruined by
the blasting process, for this cannot be
avoided. The stones are sold to thecu-
riosity dealers in the capital and to the
many tourists who stop ver in Quere-
taro for the purpose of securing them
The common and generally worthless
stones are bought by the native boys.
who offer them for sale in the Central
railroad station and the average tourist
allows himself to be nicely gouged by
these trlcksters, 80 anxious are they to
secure the stones.
A very handsome stone can be pur'
chased for So, and the prices range
from 5 cents to $50. Senior Cosio has
a magnificent collection of them at his
home, and he recently sent a lot valued
at IS, 900 to the Paris exposition.
The state of Queretaro contains many
valuable mines that are never worked.
The natives being too lazy to work
them, offer them for sale, and a mine
that shows undoubted traces of opal.
bearing rock will be offered for more
than 800. In view of the fact that
therei is always a vast difference between
what a Mexican asks and what he takes,
a probably really valuable mine may
at any time be purchased for a mere
song.
1t is true that the stones are not very
valuable, yet many very handsome ones
have been found in these mines and
have brought as high as $500 each:
The owners of any of these mines will
be glad to give any one 90 per cent o
the profits who will take the trouble tc
develop them.

WILDCATS.
1t Took Time and Patience, but H.
Had Plenty OF Both.

Amasa Macomber got a glimpse OF a
big she wild cat in the woods on the
south side of Shiny mountain, in Spring
Brook township. He saw SIZE was go
ing to give birth to kittens before long,
and he resolved to locate her hiding
place and find her litter of young ones
if it were possible. Macomber is an old
Spring Brook woodsman, but he had
never seen a wildcat under the size of a
half grown one, and he desired to find
out how a wildcats kittens looked
when they were real small. A few days
after that Macomber went to the dark
ravine again, secreted himself in a
clump of bushes nea a little stream,
kept perfectly still and watched for the
wildcat to make her appearance.
Macomber is an inveterate smoker,
but lie put out his pipe before he got to
the woods, and for four long hours he
sat there watching for the wildcat to
show herself, not daring to light up for
fear of attracting the animals atten-
ton.
When he had about made up his mind
to fill his pipe and start for home he
had the good luck to get sight of the
object of his search. She was creeping
stealthily from the hillside toward the
rivulet, only a few yards from where
Macomber was concealed, and her
movement showed that she was bent on
catching something. Within a few
feet Of the brook the wildcat stopped,
and for five or six minutes she sat per-
fectly still. Then she made a spring,
and when she turned Macomber saw
that she had a mole and several spears
of dry grass in her mouth. As she
cantered up the hillside with her prey
Macomber took note of the direction
she went, and he also noticed that she
hadn't had her kittens yet.
A week afterward Macomber watched
for her again in the same spot. He sat
in the clump of bushes for three or four
hours without getting sight of her, but
ON the following day he saw her NOUS
ing near the brook. She caught some
thing and bounded away with it, and
Macomber saw that she went In the
same direction. By that time the wild
cat had a nest Of kittens somewhere in
the woods, and Macomber began to lay
his plans to find out how those kittens
looked He might have killed their

IF he found her kittens he was going to
tike them home with him and her, too;
but if he didn't succeed in hunting up
her nest, he was going to let the old cat
loose, and be prepared to 'slay her if she
pitched on him.
On the following day Macomber and
his oldest son, Archer, took a box trap
into the woods, baited it with a piece of
chicken and a house mouse, and set it
near the spot where the wildcat had
caught the mole. Both of them went
to the ravine the next morning to look
at the trap. Before they had got In
sight of it they heard a wildcat yowling
and screaming further up the ravine,
and they hurried Oh, feeling satisfied
that the mother wildcat had stumbled
into the trap during the night. Ma
comber said he was a little taken back
and a bit provoked when he looked
through the iron rods OIL the top OF the
trap, for, instead of finding the she cat
inside, a big buck wildcat had his back
bumped up against the rods, and was
snarling and splitting and scratching to
get out. Macomber said he knocked
the male wildcat in the head, hauled
him out, and reset the trap with the
same bait, as the buck wildcat had not
disturbed it.
Each morning Macomber and his son
went up to the %ravine, but they didn't
find the trap sprung until the fourth
day. 1t then had a screaming she wild
cat in it, and Macomber and Archer let
her scream and began to search for her
nest. They looked into every hollow
log around there, as well as into every
coZy spot that was shielded from the
weather, and slowly worked their way
up the hillside toward the spot where
Macomber had seen the wildcat disap-
pear in the bushes with the mole. For
two hours the father and son searched,
the trapped wildcat keeping up a con-
slant yelling all the time. Then they
sat down on a fallen tree to rest, and
Macomber was telling his son that he
guessed they would have TO give it up,
when the sharp ears of the boy heard a
faint noise neal the roots of the tree.
Archer went to passing around with
out saying anything to his father about
what he had heard, and underneath the
butt of the log he soon uncovered FOUL
baby wildcats, two of which he held up
for his father to look at. Their eyes
were just open, and Macomber said the
hungry little things mewed a good deal
like domestic kittens when the boy han
died them. They were spotted gray
and white, with nearly white bellies.
Archer took the four wild kittens away
in his hat, and when they reached the
trap the fierce old mother wildcat tried
her best to break out and made a terri
BILE fuss when she heard her little ones
new. Then they poked the kittens into
the trap. and the old cat quieted down.
She got them into a corner with as
much care as a tame cat, Macomber
SAID, and then curled up and tried To
hide them.
They lugged the trap home from the
centre of a pole, and Macomber made a
strong cage for his savage captives.

An Episode in Bavaria.

A lady entered one of the prominent
drug stores recently desiring a cure for
a cold. The clerk, a man of long ex-
perience, reached into one of the chests
for u popular remedy for colds and
handed it to the woman, who went on
her way rejoicing. A few minutes later
he opened the chest again, and, to his
horror, found it filled with a poison
which had been placed there temporsr-
lily owing to the lack OF labels. The
police were Immediately notified, but
failed to find the lady in question.
Criers were sent out who ran about the
CITY proclaiming the incident and tell
ing all who had purchased the popular
remedy to proceed to the station to
have it examined.
Red placards were placed upon the
bill boards. Extras were thrown
about the city, with sensational head
ings-'A Life Endangered, A Case of
Poison and the like-until the whole
town was excited and the majority Of
the inhabitants seemed hunting the
woman with the popular remedy
The station was overcrowded with
people and invalids OF all kinds, who
had come to have their medicines ex-
amined. There were moaning and
gnashing of teeth, and hysterical women
declaring, despite ruddy cheeks, that
they we're at the point of death; others
ready to take farewell of their dear
ones; in all a scene like a mild pan
demon,um, frightening the poor police
men out Of their senses. But though
the firm paid over 1000 marks In ad-
vertising, the investigation proved IN
availing. The unfortunate woman did
not appear.
