At the bottom Of the shaft an enormous
pump will be constructed, and at the side OF
the shaft pump room, A corridor in the
form of an elliptic around the shaft 700 feet
in length will be constructed, the floor to be
of marble taken from the well-known quar-
ries of the country, lined with plate glass
and artistically decorated. On the inner
face of the corridor will be placed mu-
scum, containing specimens Of ore from
every mine In the Union. Columns of Colo
RADIO marble and Vermont granite. with
sandstone and quartzites, will be inter-
spersed. Outside of this elliptical corridor
will be the line OF drifts reached BY adits.
From the outer circle of drifts different ex-
cavations will be made, so as to iorm exact
representations Of the famous mines. The
carbonate silver ore of Leadville will be in
one place, the ore of Aspen in another, and
so on. Pennsylvania's coal mines, Wis
consin's iron ores and Montana's copper ores
will be included, and, in fact, all the prom
inent mines of the United States will be
represented. 1t is also proposed to have
the various appliances 10 use in this country
seen in actual operation. Electric drills
and steam drills can be seen in operation
and compared, and the force Of the different
powders tested.

Smokes Good Cigars When Losing and Poor

Philadelphia Inquirer.]
There is we'll known sport, whose face
is standing portrait in the gallery of Chest
nut street habitues, whose is peculiarly
heralded among his brethren of chance by the
brands of cigars he smokes. If he wins
heavily on the track all his friends know it
by the terrific smell of the vile tobacco in
his smokers. Ii he is loser they are aware
of it by the delicate perfume Of the curling
smoke from the wreaths of fragrant
Havana. What induces the follower OF the
goddess chance to thus contrarily denote
his financial condition never could be
learned until week ago, when the quality
of his cigar was so execrable as to call forth
protest from his comrades, and then he
said:
"It's my only superstition, boys. If win
and should smoke good cigar luck d 60
back on me so hard the next day I'd be in
the poor house in week. But if am a
loser-never very heavy, understand, and
light two or three Conchas. dye see? I'll
call the turn on bad luck. When I'm play
ing in great form then's when draw on
cigars made from cabbages. It's my eI-
perience that bad cigars and good luck are
friends and Havanas travel in the wake of
the losing sport."

yery chilly for the LordIing.

A servant is rapidly escaping through the
gloom of the back hall. The house is very
still. One may hear the old-fashoned
clock at the head of the stairs ticking away
the seconds. One may also hear-no matter
what one may hear. One must be very
sharp of ear to distinguish the soft sound.
The door opens and the pale light of the
street streams into the hall. Down at the
curb stand two saddle horses in the hands of
grooms. The young people look at one
another and speak. Passers-by might be-
lieve they spoke of the weather.
"Then that gin cocktail lord does not
stand ghost of a show" says Jack.
"Not unless you commit suicide, or run
away, or do some other dreadful thing"
replies the girl, starting down the steps,"
you're an angel" whispers Jack, rum
ming close at her side.
"Oh, no, I'm not" says Dorothy over her
shoulder. "I'm society girl. There's q
tremendous difference. %
AS the two ride up the avenue toward the
park the people on the sidewalks turn to
look at the exquisitely slender figure of the
girl, who sits her horse with the confidence
and unconscious grace of an Amazon. She
is by all means the most beautiful thing in
sight, though cathedrals and palaces rear
themselves proudly on every side.
"I must be back by IL, sshe calls to her
companion. st am at work on head that
I'm going to give to you. The sculpture
teacher is coming at noontime. Call for me
at 3. and I'll let you take me to the oratorio
at the Opera house."
As the smooth and soft bride path Of the
park is reached, and Dorothy starts her long
limbed hunter into sharp canter, the on
locker is not 80 sure that the difference is SO
very wide between the best type OF society
girl and the alleged angel.

A carpenters right shoulder is almost in.
variably higher than his left, in consequence
of having to use his right arm all the time
in planning and hammering. With every
shaving his shoulder rises with jerk, and
it finally becomes natural to him to hold
himself in that way.
The right arm of a blacksmith, for the
same reason, is almost hypertrophied, while
the left arm, from disuse, becomes afro
phied.
A shoemaker is almost always round
shouldered from continually bending over
the last between his knees as he sews and
hammers.
The head of bricklayers' laborer is held
aloft with naughty, selfrelIant air, from
his habit of carrying hod on his shoulder
and looking above him as he climbs up the
scaffolding.
All good orators have most abnormally
wide mouths. This is the direct conse-
quence of their habit of using sonorous
words and speaking with deliberation and
correct pronunciation. If one practices
this before the glass one can see that tine
muscles in the cheeks are stretched more
than ordinarily, and the mouth is extended
great deal more than in everyday conver-
sation. Then, too. nature has something to
do with it. A large mouth. like prominent
nose, is a sign of power. But all men with

BEST FOOD FOR WINTER.
Pork and Beans Suit the Lumbermen of the
North the Best.


Boston Herald.l
In the logging camps, where the fercest
cold is encountered, and the hardest kind of
work done, the popular food is pork and
beans. Loggers never seem to tire of it, for
it is eaten by them almost every day. One
reason which they give for their preference
for it is that it "stays by them" longer than
any other kind of food. Evidently, there
fore, on account of the palatability and
"heartiness" these men choose this simple
dish.
And yet it has more to recommend 1t than
this. 1t is very nearly an ideal food for
those much exposed to cold, being one of
the richest in heat-producing elements.
Compared with lean meat, pork and beans
contain about seven times as much carbon
or iuei. Roast beef is rich in warmth-giy-
ing elements. and yet pork and beans are
richer by at least one-third. Veal also
stands high upon this list.
Mans natural appetite must Inevitably
prompt him to ert only Whist is hest for him
and reject that which is hurtful, even al
though he is unconscious of the reasons for
his preferences, as is illustrated in the case
of loggers. Unfortunately, however, the
appetite is seldom natural; its perversion
generally commences in early life.
Among the foods which furnish the most
warmth, and are. therefore, the best for
winter, are eggs, butter, lard, rich SOUPS,
beans, roast ueef, pork, veal, poultry,
wheat, rye, potatoes and milk. Toward
foods of this sort all should lean in winter.
OF course it would be impossible to construct
a diet table for this season which would be
suitable for all, for some require foods
which are not only good fuel, but which are
highly strengthening. AS, for instance,
beans, roast beef, pork, veal, etc., are rich
in both heat and strengthening elements,
and may we'll be often INDUCED by those
who work hard with their hands. Whereas
those of intellectual pursuits would need far
less Of them. aud their diet might properly
strength.

A BIG HOLE IN THE GROUND.

Wonderful Mine Proposed as o Feature of
the Worlds Fair.
Denver Republican,
There is a well-developed movement on
foot here to make what will he the most
original and unique attraction at the
Worlds Fair-the great mine-a successful
undertaking from monetary and advertis-
ing point OF view. A company has been
formed, to be known as the American Under
ground Mining Exhibit Company, with
81, ,OO0 900 capital. 1t is proposed to raise half
the sum in this State, as large part of the
monster mine will be given to working
plans of its different mines. The accom- pa
nying cut will give clear idea Of what is in
tended to be done. A shaft 90 feet by IL in
the clear is to be sunk depth of at least
500 feet. The shat will be mounted with
an iron structure IN which the various hoist.
ing appliances will be placed. Eutry rooms
to elevators and cages will also be con-
structed. The shaft will be divided into
eight compartments, six for the elevators,
one for the air and water COL
umns, and one for "cranks" who
may desire to descend by a ladder.

MONEY IN THE CAVE.
Party Organized to Explore a Cavern
With Strange History.

Party Organized to Explore Cavern
With Strange History.
Richm ond, Mo-, Correspondence.1
A party is being organized at Excelsior
Springs to search for the entrance to large
cave, which is located on the land off. w.
Hyder, in the northwest part of this (Ray)
county. The entrance to this cave was COW
cred up by a landslide several years ago,
and many unsuccessful efforts have been
made to discover it. This cave had re-
markable history, and many strange stories
are told about it.
1t was owned, before the war, by large
and wealthy slave owner OF the name of
Findlay, who is described as n morose and
eccentric genius, with no confdants and
few friends. Local tradition has it that
when Findlay would run short OF money he
would secretly visit this cave and spend
several days, always returning we'll supplied
with gold and silver coin. and the general
supposition was that he was operating a
small mint in opposition to the Govern
ment. No one ever saw him enter or leave
the cave, except an old and trusted
slave whom he took with him on one occa-
sion for the purpose of killing bear, which
he claimed had sDtered the cave during his
absence. They set out for the cave in the
evening. Findlay leading and his faithful
servant following. When they reached the
cave it was so dark the negro could not see
his master or bear, and, trembling with fear,
he turned and made all haste toward home.
Findlay was not seen again for several
days, and when he did appear it was to re-
late horrible tale about being attacked in
the cave by the bear, which he claimed was
still at large in the subterranean abode.
This was no doubt told in order to keep peo-
pie from visiting the cave, as Findlay him.
self continued his visits, always returning
with plenty of money. He kept up these
trips for several months. until one
bitter cold night in the winter of
1856, when the old man, not having
been seen for some weeks, search was be-
gun for him, and his body was found about
one mile from the entrance to the cave. He
had frozen to death. A year or two before
Findlay began his visits to the cave die
was stolen from the mint at Philadelphia,
and it is thought he had in some manner
secured possession of it, and, with the aid
of confederates, was issuing counterfeit
coins. .
The exploring party will spare no trouble
to locate the entrance to this cave and dis
cover what il contains. There are number
of other caves in the northwest corner of
this county,, one or two of which have been
explored for a distance of two or three
miles. They are said to be wide and airy,
and to contain formations of a remarkable
character.

One Vote Elected Morton.

1t Is 81 years since one vote decided that
Marcus Morton, and not Edward Everett,
should be Governor of Massachusetts,, says
the Boston Herald. Judge Morton had
been a candidate for Office 13 successive
years when he was chosen by this meager
majority. The State cast just trifle over
100, 900 votes at that election. Two years
later Judge Morton was elected Governor by
one majority a second time. This one ma
joritv was, however, then the Legislature,
the people having made no choice. These
occurrences were very remarkable. They
are called to mind by the one-vote majority
just given in the Tenth Aldermanic district
Of Boston.

English employees in merchant and Govern

that the gowns had been obtained through
exchange from the lady's maid of some
wealthy or noble lady. But the English
man or woman is never happier than when
obtaining something in exchange Tor some

Weighing Freight Cars.

The evident convenience to traffic depart
ments of being able to readily determine the
weight OF freight cars lading, has led to
the working out of a new idea in this con.
nection. An inventor proposes, instead of
running cars over track scale, to ascertain
the weight of their contents, to place sys-
tenn of scale levers beneath the floor of each
car. When it ia desired to weigh the con-
tents of a car the fulcrums OF the scale levers
are lifted by four hydraulic jacks. so that
the weight Of the car body is carried on the
scale levers. Thegross weight is then seen
on the scale beam placed at the center of the
car. When the scale is not in use the
weight does not come on the scale levers, SO
the knife edges do not become worn. What
ever may be the practicabilitv Of this device,
Its cost may possibly initiate against its
general adoption

THEY KILLED THE BEAR.
Two P1ucky Boys and an Old BIunderbus
Brought the Game.

Brought the Game.
Kennebec Journal
Game in this vicinity is very plenty,
writes L. C. B., from Andover. In fact, for
deer and bear it is 9 veritable sportsmen' S
paradise. Go outside the village half
mile and you can see deer tracks crossing
and re-crossing in all directions. 1 know OF
no better place in Maine for weeks sport
ing tour than this. A tramp of two or three
miles is all that is necessary to bring you
into the very heart of splendid game coun-
try. The man who cannot bag a deer or a
bear must indeed be poor hunter.
Last fall two boys, aged respectively 13
and IA, started out from the village on "a
grand bear hunt as they termed it. They
were armed with one cur dog and an old
fashioned fiint-lock pistol. The first day
they tramped ten hours without seeing any
game, and then camped out on the ground
In the woods. In the morning they
tagging zeal and courage. About noon
they heard the dog barking violently,
and retracing their steps they found that the
canine had treed an immense bear. The boy
who held the pistol took deliberate aim and
pulled the trigger. A flash in the pan was
the only result, and after several Intellectual
attempts to discharge the thing they held a
council of war.
In the mean time the bear showed dispo-
sition to come down and take hand in the
deliberations.
Tie boys hastily primed the blunderbuss,
and this time it went off, knocking the
young hunter over backward and apparently
doing no damage to the bear. Again the
boys consulted and after about half an
hours work they succeeded in reloading the
ancient frearm. AS chance would have it
the next bullet struck the bear exactly in
the heart, killing him instantly and bring
ing him to the ground. He was mag
