A Washers Adventure In the Waiting
Room of Country Station.
She sat there in the corner of the
ladies' waiting-room at Four Mile River
station, a vision of mute loveliness. Her
face was somewhat in shadow, but a
pair of great deer-llke eyes looked out
from under the rim of the pretty hat she
Wore, and her figure, whose perfect
symmetry the folds of her capped gown
could not hide, was that OF a goddess.
AS glanced at her in a kind of SPELL
bound admiration a pearly tear began
to build itself on her lower eyelid, and
gathering power from some hidden
emotion it broke loose at last and bead
ed down her cheek and splashed to the
floor.
Such accomplishing misery was more
than could stand, and walking over to
her I inquired in as gentle way as
could the cause of her unhappiness.
Completely unnerved at the sudden
influx Of sympathy, she buried her face
in her hands, and as convulsive sobs
shook her frail body until Thought her
heart would break, she gasped; my
nanny, she done SEN me t d stoah on

Cali mAsyInmetrysH
The two sides Of the human body ard
eoahterparts, but never precisely simi.
lar. The ears; eyes, the limbs are like
but different, even in bodies most per-
fectly formed. This disproportion
sometimes takes the form Of apparent
malformation, and is at once recognized
as disability and misfortune; but it is
often an unknown OWL, bringing in its
train serious ailments which are at.
tributed TO other causes. The doctors
call it ''asymmetry," which is, id fact;
a want Of symmetry. Dir. Thomas G.
Morton, bf this city, has made within
the last few years SOME important i'm
vestigations Of bodily disproportion,
more especially directed to the length
Of the legs Of men and women. 1t ap-
pears to be a quite common occurrence
that there is a difference in the length
Of ones legs, sometimes amounting to
as much as l 1-2 or 2 inches. People
go about all their lives on this uneven
footing without knowing 1t. This want
Of proportion is the frequent cause Of
disease OF the spine, curvature result.
ing from the constant twist and shock
OF uneven loeomotion. AS d curious
corollary ofthe evil effects of locomo-
tion In a human machine tout of line"
as shown by DIR. Morton recently at the
Orthopedic Hospital, Mr.. w. Z. Lock-
wood explained the mischiefs resulting
from the use Of "short-legged locomo-
tives'' on railways. In locomo-
tives of ordinary construction the
driving power that pulls the
train along in its application
is not a continuous but On intermittent
force. AS q consequence locomotive
does not 60 forward steadily, but by
jumps. The effort to correct this de.
feet by the centrifugal energy of coun-
terweights on the driving-wheels of
engines is partial failure. In it's up
ward motion the couuterweight lifts
the wheel from the track and lessons
its bite upon the rail, and in its down
ward motion it pounds the rail with
continuous blows, the destructive effect
of which is apparent on every track
in the country. The effect of the jerlsy
motion of the engine Is not limited to
destruction Of the rails on which it runs,
but wears out the life of the engineer
and wearies the passenger Engineers
are peculiarly subject to forms of dis.
ease brought on by continuous shock.
When the number Of locomotives are
considered, the number of mon who run
shem, and their important relation to
the business Of the country, the ques-
ton of locomotive asymmetry becomes
an interesting one. The locomotive
and the track upon which it runs are
really parts of one machine, and the
curvature of the rails resulting from
the pounding Of the engine may we'll be
compared to the curvature of the spine
in a short-legged man. DIR. Morton
remedies the short leg by adding the
necessary length to the heel of the shoe.

Some interesting Facts From the HistOr1
u Roderich O'eonhofs

6blno fhtefesti6F Facts From the History
of Roderich O'oonhOfs
H6dericlk OCofiior was crowned with
great pomp in Dublin in the year 1f16,
when his stormy reiga began. Ali his
life lis was engaged in hostilities with
piratical Danes; ana even more trouble
some subjects. To insure teabe he en-
tered into compact with the Danish
hordes who settled on the coast, never
penetrating into the interior. The
tribute was stipend 10 cattle Of 10000
cows, levied on his dominion. But that
was only the beginning Of Roderick's
troubles: Soon an event followed, iti-
Significant iii itself but pregnant with
impending coils5qvsnces. He deposed
one Of the petty princes Of Lsinster.
Whose Ertelty and mismanagement had
caused much eot4plaint The folly Of
this subject eliminated iii thE 6ffense
Of running off with his neighbours
wife. History gives undue prominence
to this crime, which was only the light
est charge laid at the door of Dermot
McMernagh.
Exaspcrated at his deposition, Der
mont appealed to Henry H. who sent
over the Anglo-N0rrnans 10 assist in res
covering his possessions. In return
for the services rendered, the Earl OF
Pembroke, by a iiiarrisge with the
daughter of Dermot, obtained p0ssss=
sion Of the Leinster principality, and
thus laid the foundation Of the Anglo
Norman rule in ireland. The distract
ed condition of O'Conner's kingdom
prevented him raising sufficient troops
to expel the Norman invaders, Sub
mitting to the inevitable, he came to
terms with his enemies. He did not
even insist on the submission of Der
mot, but appealed to his honor not to
invited further auxiliaries into the
country. Dermot promised fidelityi
but broke Ills word at the first oppor-
tunity. Roderick, id despair, appealed
to his old enemies, the Danes, 10 assist
him, The die, however, was cast; the
unwritten law OF the survival of the
fittest prevailed.
In vain did ROderick strive against
the Inevitable. The first united efforts
of the allied armies proved disastrous
failure, but the proud spirit Of the King
was not broken. Listening to tho
willy plans Of Henry, the Irish King
concluded a treaty with the English
monarch. So far from fulfilling the
provisions OF this contract, solemnly
agreed upon in Dublin, Henry soon
after actually made a present Of the
whole Of Connaught to William Fitzad-
lem de Burgo and his heirs. This war
like Baron set about plunderinE the
country, and induced O'Connor's SONS
to join him in his hiarauding expedi-
tions Worn out and broken-hearted,
Roderick abdicated in 1193 and retired
to the Abbey of Cong, where he spent
the last fifteen years Of his life, "the
world forgetting, by the world forgot.
There, amidst the wild rocks, hollow
caverns and dark flowing streams, the
aged King found fit place to sigh
away life which could no longer
benefit his country. y.-IriSh Times.

NOTWITHSTANDING.

Brief are the days and few
When the sky is utter blue
And the wind goes over the grass
Like the laugh OF Maying lass.
But our God is good TO all,
And some perfect days befall,
Notwithstanding.
Love is strange, sweet thing
Like plume from an angels wing,
Too white and good and fair
TO be long In this soiling air:
But who has not known the bliss
Sometime and somewhere, Of klaa,
Notwithstanding
We do what We can, and trust,
but our doing turns to dust;
8 And the night flows over the daY
And washes Its deeds away.
But whatso we truly try,
The world will not let 1t die,
Notwithstanding.
Then courage my brothers brave,
And the precious remnant savel
Our hopes arelike lamps OF flre,
Set high, to lead us higher.
NO man has yet lived his dream,
But We climb by things that seem,
Notwithstanding.

Pointers From an Undertaken.


By dying now a man can save money.
Never in the history of our distin-
guished profession has it been possible
to secure a respectable interment for so
small an amount of money as at pres
ent. The inventions and improvements
which always cheaper commodities
have, in our business, kept apace with
the times. A decade ago there was not
much difference in prices and methods.
Now, there is every difference. Ten
years ago any funeral would average
$3.50; now there is no average. A man
can spend profitably $1,000 in getting
properly planted; or he can have the
thing done in pretty good shape for a
weeks salary, and he'll feel just as sat
isfied as though hewere investing for
tune in it. Some people are very ap-
prehensive concerning their funeral,
and others don't think about it at all.
II man wants to have the thing done
properly, and go without hitch, 500
will make pleasant display in his
neighborhood. There has been a cut
in rates among undertakers Of late, and
prices are at bottom rock. After little
the trouble will be adjusted and the old
scale restored. But our inducements
ut present should not be overlooked.
Now is the time to die -Sk LOilia

Some Particulars Of Its Present Condition
and Prospects.
One OF the best properties in the South
west is the Golden Era neal Argenta, the
superintendent of which, Michael Laine
being met in town yesterday, gave a few
particulars OF it's present condition and
prospects. The mine is one of the many
in this Territory under development by
st. Louis parties, some Granite Mountain
men being interested in it. The shaft is on
an incline, commencing on the vein, but
leaving it a short distance below the sur.
face whore the vein detected and became
nearly vertical. They have sunk to tine
300 level and have begun to crosscut to
the vein, being about eight feet in, and ex.
pect to 60 sixteen or twenty feet more to
reach it. Only twelve men are at work
there at present.
About the 200 q level was run that On
countered the vein where it ran IL ounces
in gold and 90 to 25 in silver, with 80 per
cent. lead. The rock is a hard quartzite,
and they are troubled with water to some
extent, but have ample pumping facilities.
There are $500 tons OF low grade ore on
the dump, which runs from % to 80 ounces
in gold. Last year they stopped out
On the second level and realized about
$4,000. A winse wal sunk on the third
level that goes 2 ounces in gold besides
silver and lead. The ore in this mine that
goes high in gold shows q good percentage
OF lead. The vein is a true fssure one. II
the Developments on the lowest cross-cut
now being run are favorable, the company
will erect q mill. Hitherto they have been
shipping ore to Omaha and Denver for re-
duction.

Remarkable Fungi in a Virginia City Mine

Remarkable Fungi in q Virginia City Mine
When the old drifts OF the Ophir mine al
Virginia City, Nevada, were opentd the
other day it was found that a tremendous
growth OF fungi had in some places nearly
closed the passages. It grew from top to
bottom, and the sides were dotted with it;
but the fungi growing from the bottom
were different from the other. The foot
wall fungi had, in several instances raised
stones weighing from fifty to one hundred
and fifty pounds, and some were held in the
air at q height OF over three feet. Some of
the fungi resembled human hair. they were
fine; some were five or six feet long and
as large as a broom handle; another kind
terminated in q sort OF bulbons blossom;
others hung from the root and looked like
serpents. The heaviest growth was 10 the
darkest parts.
