While some men were at work neal
the Crystal Lime company's kilns, three
miles south of Salida, Colo, digging q
well, they ran into something unusual.
When down about sixty feet it became
quite warm, and they dug a little more
when an opening appeared.
Upon investigation it proved to be n
cave, with apartments similar to the
rooms in a house. Tho first cave is about
twenty feet long and ten feet wide and
the ceiling about ten feet high.
The men had been in the cave only a
few moments when they became I'M
comfortably warm, the sweat rolling off
them in drops.
The place where the well is being dug
is the same gulch down which the veins
TO the Wellsville hot springs run, and
the intense heat in the cave is accounted
for on the ground that it is in close
proximity to the veins of these springs.
The walls and ceiling are said to be
smooth, as if some one had made them.

Faith Still Untouched.

The never ending controversy about
the relation of consciousness or mind to
matter is still kept up; but there seems
to be no solution of the problem and no
apparent prospect of any solution. The
semi-materialistic view was well nigh
exhausted by Professor Tyndall in his
famous Belfast address" delivered some
fifteen years ago. 1t evoked a storm of
unnecessary wrath from theologians,
but, considering how inconclusive it was
when the real issue vas approached, that
of an intelligence other than what we call
nature, it is a wonder that scientific men
do not confess that they know at least as
little as the theologians about final causes.
Tyndall has said nearly all that can be
said pointing toward the idea of Luz
c~retius, Mature is seen to do all things
spontaneously Of herself, without the
meddling of the gods:" but at last, and
with a real pathos, he declares: Con
sidered fundamentally, then, it is by the
operation of an insoluble mystery that
life on earth is evolved, species differen-
tiated and mind unfolded from their pre-
potent elements in the Unreasonable
past"
He is following Herbert Spencer, but
he does not contradict him, and it is a
confession that science has not found
out the origin of life nor made any dis
covery as to the essential constitution of
the human mind. The faith in God is
left unscathed by all these scientific re-
searches.-Pittsburg Chronicle.

An Eye to business.

II nave just been up in Vermont"
said a treasury clerk recently. "The ma
tives have lost none of their ~cuteness.

lectmen runs a hardware store, and two
weeks ago his dog was bitten by a neigh
boris dog. 1t was a small enough mat.
ter, but see what happened. First he
had the neighbor's dog killed; then he
raised the cry that the dog had been
mad and had bitten other dogs. The Sc
lectmen met and ordered that every
dog should be muzzled for forty days,
and the thrifty hardware man has sold
nearly 500 muzzles at 81 apiece. Staid
old family dogs travel around town
with leather thongs around their jaws,
which never closed on anything more
human than a beef bone. 1 saw one big
mastif that had worked his muzzle off
and was carrying it around in his
nouth."-Washington Post.

Don't contradict your wife.
Don't tell a man he is a stranger to the
truth because he happens to be smaller
than yourself. Errors of this kind have
been known to be disastrous.
Never go to bed with cold or damp
feet. Leave them beside the kitchen
fire, where they will be handy t put on
in the morning.
1t is bad to lean your back against N
thing cold, particularly when it is an icy
pavement, upon which your vertebral
arrangement has caromed with a jolt
that shakes the buttons off your coat.
Always eat your breakfast before be-
ginning a journey. If yon haven't n
breakfast don't journey.
After violent exercise, like putting up
the stove or mailing down carpets. never
ride around town in an open carriage.
1t is better to walk. 1t is also cheaper.
When hoarse speak as little as possible.
If you are not hoarse it won't do you any
harm to keep your mouth shut, too.
Don't light the fire with kerosene. Let
the hired girl do it. She hasn't any wife
and children. You have.
Don't roam our the house in your
bare feet at the lead of night trying to
pick up stray tacks. Men have been
known to dislocate their jaw through this
bad practice.
When you see a man put the lighted
end of a cigar in his mouth, don't ask
him if it is hot enough. Serious injury
has often resulted from this habit

California is beginning to outstrip
Spain in the production of raisins. Con.
sui Marston, OF Malaga, indeed, makes
h significant statement that the Span
ish vinedressers who have suffered of
late years from the %phylloxera have re-
placed vines that have been destroyed
by American stock. In 1882 the crop
of raisins produced in Malaga reached
1,9OO,00 0 boxes, of which there were
shipped to the United States nearly
1000, 900 boxes. Since that time ship
ments to the United States have been
gradually but steadily decreasing. In
1888, when the total production amount
ed to about 100000 boxes, only 112, 900
were exported to this country. Mr..
Marston adds that many Spaniards pre-
dict that the vintage Of 1899 will reduce
still further the purchases made for ex-
portation TO the United States, and that
in a few years Malaga raisins will be re-
placed even for consumption in Spain by
those produced in California.-Brad-
streets.

How She Won the Boots.

She vas as gentle of eye as a soft
gazelle, that is she was, for this didn't
happen this week. 1t was in a shoe
store in Lewiston, and the gentle
maiden was an acquaintance of the
proprietor and always bought her No.
2s there when she incased her dainty
feet in anything brand new.
Here's something that would fit
you," said the ~jocular proprietor, pass
ing out a pair of wool boots fitted with
a pair of lumberman's rubbers. ''rll
make you a present of them if you
will wear them down to the postofhce
and back"
Wait a minute" said she, and in a
minute she was arrayed in wooden
boots and lumberman's rubbers.
Watch me to the postofice," and she
wns gone.
Her feet beneath her petticoat like
little mice stole in and out as if they
feared the light" wrote the poet two
hundred years ago, but he didn't refer
to the Lewiston young lady who did
this feat on foot, or he never would
have said it. Size was back in less
than ten minutes, red checked and
laughing.
There, said she, as she passed up
the boots, Hdo them up. I'll send them
to my father down in Penobscot
county. / never lose a chance t o help

was as good as his word, and dad"

Mr.. jerome Prince, of Milford, has
lately been granted n patent on a new
telephone of his own invention. His in
vention consists in the transmission of
found by the vibration of glass. The
new telephone consists of a diaphragm
or transmitter Of simple glass, resting on
a numbe of glass rods, and these COM
m~unicating with an ordinary wire. The
line in operation at Milford extends
from n grocery on Main street to the res
idence of one of the proprietors, a dis
lance perhaps of some thirty rods, pass
ing some five or six sharp angles before
reaching its destination. Over this wire
the ticking of a watch can be distinctly
heard. and a whispered conversation
carried on with no difficulty whatever.
The distance that sound can be trans
mitted with the new telephone varies
according to the thickness of the glass
transmitter. The one in consideration
allows n whispered conversation three
miles, and by using "a thicker glass n
much longer distance. 1t makes no diff
ference how many angles the wire takes
in reaching its destination, the sound is
transmitted just as readily. Another
popularity of the invention is the in
creased intensity of the sound hat is
transmitted. Each vibration seems to
gather strength and force from the vi
brations behind it, and when the sound
reaches the ear of the auditor it is Won
derfully clear and distinct. The trans
mission of these sounds without the aid
of electricity would seem TO be depend
ent upon principles not hitherto well

OF Course She Knew.

The other evening at the Columbia
theatre, Fanny Davenport's husband and
leading man, Melbourne Mcdowell, who
plays the part of Scarpia, the villain, in
la Tosca," resolved to have a little
quiet fun all by himself. So, after he
had been killed" he dressed himself
up in the uniform of a big super" who
plays me of the soldiers in the last act,
and, adjoining his face with n huge mus
tache, he prepared to march on with the
rest of the supers. So ~effectually did
the mustache disguise him that the stage
manager rushed up and asked the big
man what he meant by not appearing
with a smooth face, like the rest. Hush,
don't you know me?' whispered the
actor. I'm Mcdowell"
The stage manager fell back in astonish-
ment n the leading man fell into the
ranks with the rest and marched on the
stage. At the cue when a soldier comes
on with a lantern to examine the face OF
the dead man Mcdowell snatched the
lantern and walked On himself. He hor-
riied the dead man" by guying him
numerically, and if the actor had not
been supposed to be dead he would have
jumped up and thumped the supposed
super" When the curtain fell at the
close of the act Mcdowell grabbed Miss
Davenport in his arms and Rugged her.
h cried out and the stage hands would
have thrown Mcdowell into the alley had
he not torn off the false mustache and
made himself known. And Miss Daven-
port still insists that she knew who he
all the time.-Chicago Herald.

Marrying a Couple.

The late Benjamin F. Wade, of Ohio,
was, at the beginning of his career at
the bar, noted for his ba~shfulness; but
another trait, his determination, enabled
him to get through his work in a way
which, though not conventional, landed
him at his destination.
Once, while a youth, he started with a
bag of corn on his shoulders to a mill
twenty miles away. 1t was in Novem-
Der, and coming to a full banked river,
he discovered that the canoe was on the
other side. Throwing off his clothes, he
plunged in, gained the canoe, took it
back where the bag Of corn was, which
he ferried across, and then went on his
way.
Another illustration of his way of do
ing things occurred while he was a jus
tice OF the peace. One day a young
couple called at his office to be married.
The presence of four or five ~irreverent
young men prompted the bashful Justice
to suggest privately to the pair that they
had better meet him at the little hotel.
They went, and 80 did the justice, by
a roundabout way, only to discover that
the boys were also there. Seeing that
he must perform the in their
presence, he, though he had forgotten
the usual formula, proceeded to business
in the most direct way.
you wish to be married." he asked
the pair.
yes"
Stand up and take hands. YOU" adj
dressing the not prepossessing groom,
wish to marry this young woman
yes"
"Of course you dor" exclaimed the
justice, glancing at the pretty bride, and
asking her, "Do you take this young
man for your husband?"
Yes"
well, you are getting the worst of it,
but l say you are husband and wife.
There, boys, you see 1 did itI' he con-
cluded, CHANGING at the spectators.
The couple had to have it explained to
them that they were, in the eyes of the
law, welded. W~hereupon the husband
offered the justice a fee-the statute
made it S1.50-which, by a lofty motion
of his hand. he waved off, saying,
Nothing for a job like thatl"-Youth's
Companion.

Exaggeiation is a sign that we feel
strongly and express ourselves coarse
ly. A great master of words, say the
author of Thoughts About Art" ex-
presses himself strongly rather by the
exact and adhesive fitness of his words
to the occasion than by their violence.
The essayist's explanation of what
he means by adhesive fitness should
be inwardly digested by every young
writer who sincerely wishes to sue
coed j.: his profession. He says:
in good ~joiuer's work the strength
consists very much in exquisitely true
fitting. If a piece of wood is perfect
ly fitted to its place, it is easy to make
it q lex there without using violence,
and SO if n word is well fitted it will
stick also and forever" Youths

number of appointments Of postmasters
