The Haunted Hole.

One night about fifty years ago a brutal
murder was committed at a lonely place
on the high road between Warwick and
Stratford-upon-Avon, writes a London
correspondent. Ths next morning the
murdered man was found lying by the
roadside, his head much mangled, resting
In a small hole In tho bank. The assas-
sins, two in number, were shortly after
ward discovered, and they were hanged
at Warwick for their crime. From that
day to this the hole wherein the dead
mans head reposed remains unchanged.
No matter how often it may be filed up,
whether by the wash of heavy rains or
by stones and leaves that boys may hap
pen to cast into 1t as they pass, it is soon
found to be again empty. No one takes
care Of it. No n knows whether or by
whom 1t is guarded. Fill it at nightfall
and you will find it empty in the morn
ing. That Is the local belief and affirma-
ton. The place is haunted.
This spot is about two miles out of
Stratford, and not distant from the gates
of Charlotte park. / looked at this hole
n bright day In June, and saw that it
was empty. Nature, it Is thought by the
poets, abhors completely with the con-
cealment of crime, and brands with her
curse the places that are linked with the
shedding Of blood. You will recall that
strong line in Tom Hoods poem of ecu
gene Aram": ''For q mighty wind had
swept the place, and still the corse was
bare. "-Cincinnati Enquirer.

This was q festival peculiar to an an
cient English town and occurred in
June, on the first Monday after Whitsun
week. a fat lamb was provided and ut
a given signal, with scores OF lockers on
to cheer, no doubt, the maidens of the
town, having had their thumbs tied be-
hind them. started in full chase after the
harmless creature. Well frightened little
woolly coat must have been at such un-
usual merriment and with such a bevy
of swift footed hunters after him. The
damsel that with her mouth did catch
and nold the lamb was declared Lady
Ct tie Lamb" After 1t was dressed Il
was borne aloft on a long pole To the
public green and close behind followed
the fair prize winner, attended by her
companions in the race, while a land of
music kept step beside them. The next
day came the grand feast, presided over
by the Lady of the Banquet" who
with great dccorum and rare show of
courtesy and with friendliest words
pressed upon her guests the goodIy
pleasures Of the table.-Harper's Bazaar.

4 County of Now nrexico.

There is not a county in New Mexico
but has many natural advantages and
wonderful resources, but Dona Ana
county. in the south central portion of
the territory, probably takes the lead.
bona Ana county Is n asst tableland
1000 feet above sea level, 100 miles from
east to west and 100 miles from north to
south. Great mountain ranges spring
up from the vas plain to n height of
from 1000 to 5000 feet above their level,
and from twenty to fifty miles in length,
but are seldom more than ten or twelve
miles in width. These mountains trend
nearly north and south, and are all rich
in mineral, some of them containing
mines that have been worked for many
years by the old Spaniards and Mexicans,
and are still producing. Large quanti-
ties of gold, silver, copper and galena
and other minerals are found.
The plains between these mountain
ranges are treeless, but covered with
rich, nutritious grama grass, which is
equal to the best cultivated ~provender, it
is asserted, for rough feed. This vast
tract of tableland Is traversed from north
to south by the Rio Grande del Norte,
which has washed out u valley five or
six miles In width. For ages the pro-
longed freshets-tho melting snows of
spring and tho ummer rains-have
brought with them tho surplus decom-
posed vegetable matter and rich in min
eral salts which impregnate the turbulent
waters as they wash the mountain sides,
the vast plains, and rush down the ar
royas. These s~edimentary deposits are
in this way precipitated, and have COW
cred the entire valley to a great depth
with the richest of alluvial soils. The
waters of the Rio Grande, like those of
the Nile of EpyDt, are exceedingly rich
in this se~dimentary material held in
solution, and when spread over the lands
in the process of irrigation, renew the
soils and renders the use of other fer
tilizers unnecessary.-Cor. Kansas City

How Barber Shops Arc managed.


The proprietor of q barber shop pays
the rent, puts in the furniture and fix
lures, combs, brushes, pomades and
other utensils. The man at the chair
furnishes his own razors and topics for
conversation. Owing to the custom of
assigning the employees Oldest in the SER
vice and presumably the best MN to the
front chairs a graded wage is paid. The
chairs nearest the door and consequently
the most accessible are the most lucra-
tive. The transient customer usually
takes the first chair within reach. The
new barber Is given the chair at the foot
of the line. He may be the most COM
petent artist in the place, but he has to
begin at the bottom and work his way
forward as the BARRIERS in front of him
quit their employment. This arrange
ment has of the virtues Of civil SER
vice regulations. The foreman Is the
oldest employee and works In the chair
next that of the proprietor, who has the
first.
In Chicago more than half the BARRIERS
are profit sharers. The plan in opera
ton In each large down town shop de-
ponds on its location. Where a large
amount Of the custom Is transient the
commission plan Is the favorite. A shop
having a steady trade as q rule pays the
regular wage and q percentage. Out of
town shops pay a weekly stipend. The
average wages for BARRIERS is $13 a week.
An extra good man may get SD, but as
ma1y get $40 or less.-Chicago News.

The superintendent OF tho animal de-
partment out in Woodward's garden tells
a pathetic and pretty story about a lion
they had out there says The San Fran
cisco Chronicle. At first he was so dan
gerous that they did not are to venture
too close to him, but by persistent gen.
tleness and kindness the superintendent
gradually made the beast 30 fond of him
that 1t liked to have him go Into the
cage, and If he'd lie down beside 1t the
lion would raise its head, 30 as to give
him a soft place to lie. One day a drunken
sailor came into the gardens and began
teasing the lion. The superintendent
came up and told the sailor not to tease
the beast. The sailor replied with an
oath, and struck at him twice. The lion
became perfectly franctic with rage, and
roared, and benz the bars of his cage so
much that the sailor got frightened. If
the lion had got put of his cage there
would not nave been enough left of the
sailor for a funeral. At length the lion
got some kind of a tumor and was in
great pain. One or two slight operations
had to be performed, and nobody could
get near the beast except this one man.
The lion let him cut, and looked at him
gratefully all the time, licking his hand
when it was over. The tumor grew 70

bling that the superintendent undertook
1t, for the lion was in terrible pain. The
doctors could not &C near, but they drew
a diagram of the body of the lion, held
1t up before him as he went on, and
made the marks IN 1t where he was to
cut. He followed their directions, and
all the while the lion lay as still as If he
were undisturbed. The last operation
did no good. The beast was in such fear
full pain that they had to kill him. The
superintendent took his revolver and
after petting the animal fired one shot
through his head, putting the muzzle
close to it. The lion gave him a pathetic
look, in which there seemed to be a mix
ture of surprise and reproach, but no
anger. 1t took three shots to kill him,
and all the time the beast never took his
eyes off the man who was killing him.
The superintendent says he was never SO
curiously and deeply affected in his life,
and he could not help'crying; even now
he feels the tears come when he recalls
it, and he cannot forget the lions pitiful
look as his head fell back for the last
time.

rhs soap Mine. of Ns,.d..

In NevadH arc several deposits of min
eTal aoap. One of these has beer worked
for three or -four years. The soap is
sometimes made up into cakes Is it
comes from tho mine, but usually it is
toned down by admixture with various
other soaps. In Dakota and Wyoming
are also deposits OF natural soap. In re-
gions where soda, borax and mineral oils
abound it is only necessary to bring these
ingredients together and a soap mine is
the result. Hot springs assist materially
in uniting and concentrating the mate
rials provided by nature. The soap
found about hot springs is. therefore,
generally harder and more perfect than
that produced in the dry way in and
about the basins of extinct lakes.
The waters OF Owens and Mono lakes
are SO thoroughly saturated with borax
and soda in solution that the addition of
any oleaginous matter produces soap.
The waters of Mono lake produce myriads
Of grubs (which after n time become flies
which arc washed ashore, and in some
places form beaches a foot or two in
depth. The oily matter contained in the
grubs or flies, uniting with the alkali in
the water of the lake. forms n deposit Of
soap an inch or WI in thickness each
year. Thus, in the course of ages, n de

These particular grubs are the only living
things found in the waters Of Mono and
Owens lakes.
At certain seasons an in~sectivorous
duck, called the spoonbill, f~requents
these lakes, and, feeding upon the
aquatic flies and grubs, becomes so fat it
can hardly fly. Hunters kill these spoon
bill ducks fer thoir oil, as the grub on
which they feed imparts to them a fshy
taste so strong that they cannot be eaten
except by Indians. who eat both worms
and ducks. Ducks killed by hunters and

How EmbalmIng Is Done.

The process of embalming is as follows,
and Is called the Brunei process: The
circulatory system is cleansed by wash
ing with cold water till it issues quite
clear from the body. This may occupy
from two to five hours. Alcohol is IN
jected so as to abstract rs much water
as possible. This occupies about a quar-
ter of an hour. Ether is then injected to
abstract the. fatty matter. This occupies
from two TO ten hours. A strong solu-
ton Of tannin is then injected. This oc-
cupies for inhibition from two to ten
hours. The body is then dried in a cur
rent Of warm air passed over heated
chloride of calcium. This may occupy
two TO five hours. The body is then per-
fectly preserved, and resists decay. The
Italians exhibit specimens which are as
hard as stone, retain the shape perfectly
and are equal to the best wax models. 1t
will be observed in this process that
those substances most prone to decay are
removed, and the remaining portions
are converted by the tannin Into a sub
stance resembling leather.-The Casket.

In the Soudan the respect for the Bird
of the Shade is unbounded; he is endear-
ingly known to the Arabs as their
"Uncle," and they are more ~exorbitant
in exacting blood money for his chance
slaughter by the hand of the stranger
than If it were really the relative in ques-
ton. Shoot their dove, their ostrich,
their varied scavengers of the vulture
kind, their once sacred ibis even, and
they grin and bear 1t; but once aim a

lean but muscular brown arms will be
raised, and the ~bereaved, white teethed
relatives vii! gesticulate and shout round
you, while they explain how black hued
was your accidental crime. Apart from
this, the raven, with his ietty plumage,
will always be n point of interest in the
Soudan, from the strong contrast he pre-
sents to the ordinary desert colored"
birds which preserve n neutral tint of
gray or fawn, which renders them al
most invisible.-Al the Year Round.

A Sunday school teacher in a back
woods settlement had a new class of
young scholars, the parents of which had
neglected to give them n instructions
whatever in their catechism. Coming to
the first boy in the class she asked him
who made him. He did not know. She
told him God, and urged him to remem-
Der it. OF the next boy she asked who
was the oldest man. He did not know,
and the teacher told him Methuselah. So
she went on down the class, asking each
a question and giving them the answer.
While she was thus engaged the first boy
went to the bucket after some water.
The teacher returned to the head of the
class, and not knowing that one was alb
sent, she asked the first who made him.
Without hesitation the boy quickly re-
piled, "Methuselahl' "No," exclaimed
the teacher in establishment, "God made
your mo, he didn't" persisted the ur-
chin with confidence; ''the boy God
made is after water" Tho teacher gave
up the class.-Chicago Journal
