Mrs. JESSE CASTRO, an aged Mexican
lady, who recently died at American
Flag, in the Santa Catalina Mountains,
Arizona, was, perhaps, the only woman
in the world who ever cost her husband
her weight in gold. In the early gold
digging days Of California she was a
resident Of Sonora, Mexico, in which
State she was born and grew to woman
hood. When about seventeen years Of
age paternal uncle, but a few years
her senior, returned gold-laden from the
newly discovered mines, and soon fell
desperately in love with his niece. He
sought her hand in marriage and was
accepted, but the church refused, on
account Of the near relationship of the
pair, to solemnize the marriage. Per-
suasion being in vain, he tried the
power of gold to win the Church his
way, and succeeded only by payment Of
her weight in gold. She at that time
weighed III pounds, and against her in
the scales the glittering dust was
shoveled. The husband still had
enough of this worlds goods to provide
good home.

A REPORTER witnessed an extraordi-
nary scene in the vicinity of Biddleville,
N. @. In front OF small cabin pull
pit had been erected. In this stood a
negro preaching at the top ofhis voice.
There was no one except the reporter
and the preacher near, and the former
stood and listened, but was not noticed
by the speaker. On inquiry it was
found that the preacher was Robert
Bell. Two years ago he was fred from
the pastorste Of the Presbyterian
Church at Biddleville because he would
go into his church barefooted. He was
warned against this offense. and heed
ing it not, one Sunday, as he attempted
to ascend his pulpit shoeless, half a
dozen good, pious deacons seized him
and fred him from the church. On
that day Bell declared that he would
preach three times every day in his own
yard, and he does it, although no one
goes TO hear him.

How to Care Yor Canaries.

A good many people don't know how
to take care Of canary birds, and
therefore give them the following ad-
vice, which got from bird fancier:
Never give your bird sugar or figs or
raisins, or anything sweet, expect q
small piece Of sweet apple peeled twice
week. Put the apple in the cage in
the morning and take it out at night. It
should have all the rape and canary
seed it wants and gravel should be kept
at the bottom of the cage. Avoid feed
ing the bird on celery. Twice q week
feed 1t on one-third Of q boiled egg,
using both the white and yellow OF the
egg. Crate up the egg; that is better
than putting it in whole. Give it the
egg the day before it gets the apple,
and rs large piece of the former as of
the latter. Let it have bath every day,
using water with the chill taken Of.

SOME time ago Joseph J. Speck, of
Kansas City, learned of the existence of
a certain alleged miraculous stone
found in Southern India, which would
heal wounds Of all kinds, particularly
snake and dog bites, and any sore
from which hydrophobia or lockjaw
might result. To learn more of the
wonderful curative powers of the stone,
Mr.. Speck addressed letter to ma
tive of Bombay. The Hindoo replied
that the stone is supposed to be found
in serpant's head, and is rarer and
more valuable than the most costly
gem. The Hindoos and the wild, saw
age natives place great faith in its
power, and guard it as sacredly and
carefully as they do their idols and
gods of metal. The owner of this par
ticular stone advertised it and offered
itfor sale in an American newspaper,
and it,was this advertisement that Mr..
Speck saw. The owner of the stone
wants $50, 700 for it.
