Bill NeG and the Lynx Both Sur
 prlsed.

pr1sed.
 From the Silverton Miner'l
 Last week large lynx made visit to Bill Neff's cabin on the Emerald and made lengthy stsy-in fact Mir. Lynx is there vet. The animal was attracted by some meat that was hanging outside the door of the cabin. There was no look or bolt to se- cure the opening, and while it was climbing up to reach the meat the door swung open and allowed the lynx to founder in, where he proved genuine surprise party to Bill, who was willing away the hours by reading tiger stories. It was hard to tell which was the most surprised, the lynx or the man, but the former evidently thought Bill meant business when it saw him reach for the axe, and at once made spring.
 For several minutes they fought at close quarters, and at last Bill broke away from the beast and climbed up on the sleeping bunk where he could get elbow room to swing his weapon. On came the lynx, but missed his footing. This was Bills time. As the animal made another spring for the bunk, the axe was swung aloft and the pole was brought down on the skull of the animal with the usual' dull, ,sickening thud. "The lynx dropped in a heap, and Bill came down from his perch to find that his blow had mashed the skull. The animal was stone dead. Neff's clothes were torn. in tatrers, and he says the lynx weighed 150 pounds. We are promised one of the paws, which covers a surface larger than a mans hand, and shall be pleased to show 1t to anybody who doubts the story.

The sugar beet bu.iness is to have 6 thorough trial in Nebraska. A factory is building at Grand Island, with capacity for handling $50 tons of 'beets daily. and fifty tons of sugar beet seed, enough to plant 10000 acres, is being distributed among the farmers in the vicinity. It is estimated that they can make from twenty-five to forty dollars per acre in the beet cultivation.
 Serious efforts to establish silk culture in Mexico are being made, and recently Gov ernor Marquek of Pueblo has imported from China thousands of young mulberry trees, partly at his own expense, and has set out many of them on his estate, where he has a school of practical instruction in silk culture. A similar school has been established in the State of Mexico by Governor Villada, and large quantity of silkworms have been im- ported from India.
 Some appointments by Professor Haeckel of Marseilles, show that kola is a drug of ex- traordinary power of stimulation. The colonel of regiment at Perpignan, dosed with kols, made the ascent of the Canigou Mountain, 9.137 fest, and felt quite fresh after his climb, which lasted twelve hours. He only halted once, and for twenty minutes, and ate nothing. The One Hundred ana Twenty-fourth Regiment last July marched for fifteen and half hours from Laval to Rsnnes, distance of forty-fve miles, and were fresh at the finish. They walked at the rate of three and three-quarter miles an hour. Kola produces e similar effect on horses.

Such legislation the court holds, would be an interference with interstate commerce, in violation of thu federal constitution. According to this rul

It is that impurity in the blood, which, ac
 cumulating in the glands of the neck, pro- duces unsightly Jumps or swellings; which causes painful running sores on the arms, legs, or feet; which developes ulcers in the eyes, ears, or nose, often causing blindness or deafness; which is the origin of pimples, can cerous growths, or the many other manifesto tions usuilly ascribed to "humors;" which, fastening upon the lungs, causes consumption and death. Being the most ancient, it is the most general of all diseases or affections, for very few persons are entirely free from it.

PROGRESS IN INDIA.
It Is War to the Knife Between Old and
New Beliefs.

1t Is War to the Knife Between Old and
New Beliefs.
The struggle between the ancestral
wisdom and the ideas of young India is
strong and bitter in some parts of the
peninsula. Surat, in the Bombay presi-
dency, was the spot in which the
British power first took root 2s5 years
ago. Yet old and new are warriag to
the knife in Surat-at any rate among
the Nagar-Brahmins OF the place, The
worst offense against the Brahmin rules
is for one Of the caste to come to Europe
to study medicine. Even the mere act
of crossing the kalapani (black water;
ocean) is deadly sin, to be expiated by
priestly rites, costing much money. Ru-
pees are at the bottom OF it. A young
Brahmin named Valshnay, who returned
to India with his English NJ. b. and b.
&c.. has been hauled before the assem-
bly, Of his caste fellows. He has been
boycotted at wedding party and has
been forced to part with his children
under pain Of seeing them excommuni-
Gated for life. The Irish boycott is
sometimes pretty stiff, but 1t is milk Of
human kindness itself in com parison
with the Hindoo system OF letting a fell
low-sinner severely alone" A Brah-
min of Baroda is mp" before his caste
because he disgraced it and imperiled
his own soul by attending the oriental
congress- at Stockholm.-Lo News.

So, Hammer, you're gon' to get married,
And leave your old father alone;
You're goin' 70 jump out o. the old nest,
To help 20 bnild one o. your own.
OF CO ursc you are sure to be happy
Whenever you marry Jack Heath,
But you're tyin' knot with your tongue, dear
That you can't unite with your teeth.
Oh, yes, Jack is steady and honest
And loves you SO dearly, know,
And no doubt your boat will glide smoothly
When his sturdy arms help to row;
But though the top o. the water be CLASSY
There's rocks and there's sand-bars beneath,
And you're tyin' knot with your tongue, dear,
That you can't unite with your teeth.
You're now in q tlutter o. pleasure,
But lifos not n picnic, you'll find
And when Jack Is peevish and fretful,
Then you should be patient and kind.
So, remember, left you this warning,
Along with the rest l bequeath,
That you're tyin' knot with your tongue, dear
That you can't unite with your teeth.
Yes, Hammer you've been good daughter,
Unsclfsh and lovn' and true,
But now you're leavin the old nest
To help to build one that is new;

Read Before sIgn,ne.

Among the pithy sayings of we'll
known German philosopher and reader
occurs the following; "Sign no paper
without reading it." In these days OF
education, enlightenment and progress,
such caution would hardly seem nec-
essary to any person in the full posses
sion of his faculties; yet it is astonish-
ing how many people there are, includ-
ing good business men, who attach their
signatures to papers or documents
whose contents may have serious
bearing upon themselves or their af-
fairs, with scarcely a glance at their
contents. Carelessness in failing to ac-
quaint themselves with the contents
of any paper before signing it has
worked incalculable harm to thousands
OF fwell-intentioned people. 1t is good
thing, therefore, to bear in mind con-
tinuously the above quotat ton, particu-
larly with respect to such papers as ex-
press or imply any thing in the nature
Of contract or legal obligation

BRookLYN'S CURIOUS TREE.
A Bowlder Embodied In the Center of
Its Forks.

A Bowlder Embodied In the Center of
Its Forks.
In the large vacant lot which lies
next to the Gates avenue police court,
at Gates and Reed avenues, is curious
tree 1t is mammoth three-pronged
sycamore, or rather three perfectly
pronged sycamore trees springing from
common root, for the separation occurs
within foot from the ground, and each
of the three branches is equal in size
to an ordinary tree. The curious part,
however, of this triple tree is that a
good-sized bowlder is firmly embedded
in the fork and the bark and wood have
grown around it in such way that 1t
has really become part and parcel of the
tree. This tells the story of long and
determined struggle for supremacy be-
tween what was at first a tiny green
sprig and frowning black rock which
steadfastly refused to notice the gentle
pushing Of the infant sycamore as it
pleaded for light and air and room from
the monster which threatened to crush
1t out of existence at the very start
The sycamore bent its weak little body
and stretched its three tiny branches in
as many different directions under the
heavy rock, all cropping for openings
to the light and air beyond. After
days OF patient pushing and strug-
Cling between the soft earth. which
pitied and tried to aid the downtroddan
sycamore, on the one side and the cruel
rock above all three of these shoots
reached the open air. The earth sup
piled the roots with strengthening food
and they in turn sent new life and en-
couragement coursing through the veins
Of the struggling branches. AS the
months went by they crept slowly up
ward until they could nod encourage
ment to one another above their common
enemy, the rock. The stone grew blacker
and more dogged in its resistance than
before. Gradually the rock was forced
to relax its hold upon the earth, for it
was evident that the earth had no uso
for the rock and was doing all in its
power to aid the tree. AS years passed
by ths branches expanded and tho trunk
spraps up where once was the bod of the
oyerbearing rock. The tree was now
the stronger and the bowlder was raised
further and further from its comrades In
the field. AS the tree trunks expanded
they came closer together at the base
and 'lnally began to press against their
enemy on every side as II to preclude
the possibility Of its over being rescued
from Its unnatural position and placed
again among its fellow rocks. Tighter
and tighter they squeezed, until the
rock Was fairly imbedded in the fork,
with bark and wood overgrowing IT on
all sideA There 1t is to-day, . prisoner
for life, wholly within the power sf the
mammoth triple tree. And all because
ttignored the appeals OF an insignificant
little twig many years sgo.--Brooklyn
