healthful one. The thoroughly furnished class
rooms well appointed dormitories, mushrooms
studios exercise grounds, ETC., together with
the advanced course OF learning and varied ac-
complishments, in which young ladies are so
DESTROYS to excel, have attracted students from
far and near. From nearly every county pupils
have been received, among whom are young
ladies from Siskiyou, Tuolumne, Los Angeles,
San Jose and even Nevada. Several of the
former pupils are engaged in teaching both in

DISCOVERY OF A WONDERFUL CAVE.
Arrowheads and an Iron Knife Found in
One of It's Passapes

Il
[Pittsburg Dispatch to Washington Start
A wonderful cavern was recently discov-
cred on the Stewart farm, about two miles
from Parnassus, Armstrong county. Ex-
plorations just made have revealed subter-
ranean passages of remarkable character.
The entrance is perpendicular opening,
about twenty feet in depth.
At the bottom the place had the appear
ance of an inverted cone, with about one
third of the apex and part of the side cut
of, and measuring about twenty-four feet
at the base. The walls are Of dark gray
color, rather smooth. From here a corri-
dor, some four feet wide and three feet
high, leads for several yards to a room
where the light reveals a scene of grand
eur.
Stalagmites and stalactites are in pro-
fusion, and in shapes and forms to almost
equal those of the Mammoth Cave. The
chamber is about 65 feet long by 80 feet
wide, and the furthest end terminates in a
deep pool of water. This pond is perhaps
II feet wide. The water is pure as crys-
tai. No living thing was seen by the ex-
plorers except peculiarly striped crusta-
cean animal about an inch in length, re-
sembling crab, but of dull yellowish
color. The temperature registered about
SO degrees.
In one corner of the first cavern were
found few specimens of arrowheads and
an iron knife, but nothing else to denote
that human being had ever entered be-
fore. Further than the pool exploration
was not made. A complete investigation
will be undertaken by persons who have
secured the land

THE OLD WELL SWEEP.
Simple, Picturesque and Effectual, a
Has Been in Use for Centuries.

Simple, Picturesque and Effectual, and
Has Been in Use for Centuries.
I was driving with friend the other
day through somewhat dreary stretch OF
country, where there seemed to be very
little to attract notice or deserve remark,
writes Oliver Wendell Holmes. Still the
old spirit infused by eyes and No Eyes
was upon me, and looked for something
to fasten my thought upon and treat as an
artist treats study for picture. The
first object was an old-fashioned well sweep.
1t did not take much imaginative sensibil-
ity to be stirred by the sight of this most
useful, most ancient, most picturesque of
domestic conveniences. / know something
of the ladoof of Egypt--the same ar
rangement by which the sacred waters Of
the Nile have been lifted from the days of
the Pharoahs to those of the khedives
That long forefnger pointing to heaven
was a symbol which spoke to the Puritan
exile as it spoke of old to the enslaved Is
raelite Was there ever any such water
as that which we used to draw from the
deep, cold well in "the old oaken bucket ?"
What memories gather about the we'll in
all ages What love matches have been
made at its margin from the times of ia
cob and Rachel downward What fairy
legends hover over it, what fearful mys-
teries it has hidden The beautiful well
sweep 1t is too rarely that we see it, and
as it dies out and gives place to the
convenient pump, with the last
patent on its cast-iron uninterestingness,
does it not seem as if the farmyard aspect
had lost half its attraction? So long as
the dairy farm exists doubtless there must
be every facility for getting water in
abundance; but the loss of the well sweep
cannot be made up to us..even if our milk
were diluted to twice its present attenua-
lion

Him Much Better.

Joseph Smith has brought cargo of
alligators from Mexico to New York. Mr..
Smith was asked by 2 Pittsburg Dispatch
reporter why he went to Mexico to hunt
aliigators, and replied: "Alligators are
plaving out in Florida, In fact, they are
becoming scarcer in all parts of the United
States in consequence of their skins being
so much in demand that many persons
have engaged in alligator hunting as a
means OF making money. The alligators
have never been hunted by the Mexicans,
but | soon had them at it. At first shot
them, but Mexican conceived the idea
of happening them, and carried it out 50
successfully that we followed that method
afterward. | was down there eighteen
months, and during that time | secured
hides to the amount of $4,000"
at is quite exciting to take a sports
mans lamp, fasten it on your head on
dark night and quietly sneak along the
river bank, and, finding one of these mon
sters lying at the waters edge, harpoon
him. 1t takes steady hand and quick
eye to strike them right and strong arm
to hold him after he is harpooned.p
