A PLEASANT BATTLE.
Laramie and Cheyenne Men Have
a Shooting Match.
The Visitors Did Exceedingly Well
But We're vanquished.
An Interesting and Very Success
full Sporting Event.

The Larami-eC Cheyenne team shoot
came of very satisfactorily yesterday. The
contestants almost fell in love with each
other at first sight. Shooting COM
menced at II a. m. and lasted until $40
p. M. and $40 live birds were thrown
from the trap. During the entire match
there wasn't the Indication of a disagree
ment. The very best of feeling prevailed
throughout, and the Laramie gentlemen
seemed more pleased with the victory of
the Cheyenne team than the latter them.
selves.
In the forenoon there was snow on the
ground and in the afternoon a raw
breeze came up, 30 the day was rather
bad for shooting. Most of the birds were
strong drivers, the wind assisting them
away from the shooter. No less than
twenty pigeons fell dead a pard or two
outside bounds, and as many more car
ried lead back to town. The result shows
that Cheyenne had perhaps the best in
dividual shooters. but that the opposing
team is more steady. more evenly
matched. Laramie Gun Club" was

sports and will always be welcomed to

A Wonderful PetrifactiOn.

Joseph Sweshenger, who resides near STAN
ford, writes to The River Press particulars
of wonderful discovery he recently made in
an unfrequented mountain near his residence.
The discovery consists of "A petrified man, with
all his limbs in perfect state of preservation.
The body stands by a massive bowlder, OF
which it seems to have become a part, and
cannot be removed without considerable labor
and expense. A tiny stream of water, flow
ing from spring above, falls directly upon
the head of the body, and, after passing over
it, loses itself in the surrounding rock.
The body measures feet and 9 inches
rom the crown of the head to the soles of the
.eet, and is well proportional. the chest and
limbs being of ponderous width and size.
The features are of a severe Roman type,
,urmounted by broad, high forehead and
luxurious growth of hair, which is as firm as
rock itself. A beard reaching to the waist
completes picture which inspires a feeling
of awe and reverence in the beholder. Ger
tain hieroglyphics are cut upon the rock. a
true copy Of which Mr.. Sweshenger promises
to send us. Thus far he has kept the discov-
cry secret, but will in due time divulge its
locality 1t will doubtless attract the sa-
wants Of the day, and large sum Of money
may be realized from it. It is, indeed, a
wonderful discovery, indicating as it does
that the first inhabitants Of this country
were giants-Tacoma News

Tho PecDie of Paraguay.

Asuncion women, though always barefoot,
the clothes were clean, hair nicely combed,
and the little hut, as rule, scrupulously neat
and only containing one room, with shed
attached. The furniture consisted of a bed
stead, hammock, home made chairs and al
ways wooden vessel in which the corn is
pounded Each day the women thus manu-
facture their -four for the days use.
My curiosity to see something of the home
life of the poorer class was gratified by stop
ping to rest at one of the huts There was
the cotton growing in the yard, and l saw
our hostess in her picturesque costume gather
it with her own hands and spin thread with
no machinery whatever, only skillfully twist
ing it in her fingers.
NV bedroom consisted of a hammock tied
to two posts in the yard; and my dressing
room was a cleared space behind the rancho,
with nice carpet of green The skill of these
lowly women is simply wonderful. At an
other place we stopped we saw the women
making the beautiful panduti lace, SO famous
Id this country.
These poor people are very hospitable,
seeming to take such genuine pleasure in
making strangers welcome and studying their
comfort. At one time finding myself far
ahead of the party, L. with the servant,
stopped at little hut TO rest our horses and
get drink, writes correspondent Though
the old woman of the place talked quarim

harnmocks, and 1t did rot take me long to
discover how much cooler and more comfort
able harnmocks were than ordinary beds

Taking England all over. it may be es-
timated that the average supply Of water
per head afforded by the various water.
works is between thirty and thirty-three
gallons. Probably about one-ffth of
that quantity is used for trade purposes,
leaving from twenty-four to twenty-six
gallons per head daily for domestic use.
This seems large amount, and there is
no doubt that at least half of il is ALSO
luteiy wasted. Considering that the
price of water comes to something like
e2o per million gallons, it will be seen
that saving of $500 gallons or so per
head every year would represent con-
siderable amount of money. The total
sum thrown away OF account of this
waste must amount TO nearly million
and quarter sterling annually
