She Cost Her Weight in Gold.

Mrs. Jesus Castro, an aged Mexi.
can lady, who recently died at Ameri-
can Flag, in the Santa Catalina
mountains, Arizona, was perhaps the
only woman in the world who cost
her husband her weight in gold. In
the early gold digging days in Cali
fornia she was resident of Sonora,
Mexico, in which state she was born
and grew to womanhood. When
about II years of age parental
uncle, but few years her senior, re :
turned gold laden from the newly-dIs-
covered mines and soon fell desper-
ately in loved with his neice. He
sought her hand in marriage and was
accepted, but the church refused, on
account of the near relationship of
the pair, to solemize the marriage.
Persuasion being in vain, he tried
the power of old to win the church in
his way and succeeded only by pay
ment of her weight in gold. She at
that time weighed lit pounds, and
against her in the scales the glitter
ing dust was shoveled. The husband
still had sufficient of this worlds
goods to provide good home.

RECIPROCITY.

The doctrine of reciprocity is not
only applicable to Nations, States
and towns, but reaches to, and in
cludes, almost every form of bust
ness and social relations, and extends
even to the political arena, down to
single personal votes. If you want
a man to deal with you, you must
deal with him. That is the idea, and
many business undertaking has
come to grief by failure to under
stand, appreciate and carry into eff
feet, this doctrine of mutual rela-
tions. True, every corporation and
every business man should control
their own affairs, but if they would
be successful, they must be careful
as to how they affect the business in
terests of others. Take the case of
the B. & o. Railroad Co., at present,
locating a new enterprise at Berlin,
Nd, which must either help or de-
stroy the value and business inter
ests of other sections through which
the road passes. If helpful, so much
the greater their success; if injurious,
then every business man, citizen, me-
chanic and laborer with property
and interests at injured points, be-
comes known enemy, and their pat
ronage will go in other directions.
The same thing is true in ordinary
matters of personal business in
town, which if watched more careful
ly would bring success instead of
disaster. Every man watches his
own interest, and he is a fool who
takes the money he receives from
a patron and spends it with some
person in the same business, but who
deals elsewhere. What editor or
printer fails to look at the advertise
ments and imprint on bills, to see
where they are printed, and fails to
inquire in his own mind, as to why
he don't get some Of that patronage,
and then mentally resolves TO spend
his dimes with his own patrons. The
same thing is true Of all kinds of
business, and no man can be success
ful without careful attention to the

Why Was Il 2

WOman's cry for work is heard in
the city. Outin the suburbs the cry
is urgent for servants. Apparently
with demand and supply so strong
and means of transportation so cheap
it would seem easy to settle the
problem, but the Christian Aid and
Employment Society reports that
until November they refused all
country calls for help, simply be-
cause they were not able to get city
women to leave the city for the coun-
try. TIE Rev. A. F. Schauffer, of
the City Mission Society, has recent
ly, said: "I.myself have secured for
underpaid women places in the coun-
try where they could earn compe-
tent livelihood, and have in three or
four months had them back on hands
again, for they preferred halfstarva-
ton in the city to good, living in the
country."-Neao York Mail and Er-
press.

The Silent Woman"

In one Of the city cemeteries Is the grave
of Miss Frances Hranneln. long since forgot
ten. She was known as ''the silent woman. {"
In 1879. while living with relatives in this
city, Miss HrannelE INST, loved, and was
loved In return by young sea captain then
IN this port. Her relatives opposed the match,
and, as she believed, intercepted his letters to
her and tried to keep them apart. Violent
alterations ensued, and during one Of them,
in paroxysm of rage she vowed that she
never would again open her lips in speech.
For seven years she kept her vow, and even
on her deathbed the efforts of her friends to
induce her to break her voluntary silence
were futile.
AS her relatives gathered around her death
bed her sister, with tears In her eyes, i'm
plored her to break her vow, il only to say
good-by. The two brothers added their en-
treaties, but to all appeals she was obdurate
Her brother went outside and plucked rose
and offered it to her. She shook her head
and refused to take it. However, when the
matron offered her the same flower she took
it eagerly and seemed to enjoy the perfume.
When her brother attempted to smooth the
dying woman's pillow she strongly dissented,
but allowed nurse to do 1t and seemed
grateful. A few moments after she breathed
her last. She carried her resentment against
her relatives to the bitter end.-San Fran

joyable and impressive affair. Skill

consis ed of choruses, Rotations and
brief addresses, all of which were of

presentation of a handsome silver
pitcher to the pastor, Rev. John Ed
wards, by the congregation, as tes-
timonial Of their respect and love.
Prof. W. A. Pitzer presented the

Curious Waves in a Waterfall.

A Boston lawyer returned from a
trip in Maine, tells of curious phen-
omenon existing at the Livermore
falls, in that state. At the foot of
the dams the descending water seems
to be driven back with so much force
that half way up the column ofwater
there is an ever moving line of water
like a crease in piece of cloth. This
has an effect upon the surrounding
atmosphere that is almost incredibly
great. The phenomenon is not OBJ
servable at all times, but when the
" wave" is visible on the falling wa.
ter, objects suspended in the air at
some distance from the falls are OBJ
served to vibrate perceptibly in a
regular movement. The vibration.
while perceptible at the time when
the wave" can be seen, seems to
stop almost instantly after the
wave" disappears, and it seems al
most certain that the latter causes
the former.-Boston advertiser.

That scare seems to have been unne-

any action will be taken that will
prove seriously injurious to the
growth of towns through which the
road passes. 1t would be very un-
wise policy to take any such action.
