Music That Touched tho Heart.

Music That Touched tho Heart.
An incident Of a peculiarly touching
character occurred In one of the elevated
railroad trains that brought tears to the
eyes of the passengers The train had
just left One Hundred and Twenty-fifth
street when the passengers saw entering
the car little boy about years old, be-
ing half pushed and half carried by an
older boy, evidently his brother At the
first glance it was seen that the little fell
low was blind and his eyelids had almost
grown together. He had pale wan
face, but was smiling. A quick look of
sympathy passed over the faces of the
passengers, and an old gray haired gentle
man got up and gave his seat to the two.
The "big brother" who was about II
years old, tenderly lifted up the little
blind boy and placed him on his knee.
"How's that?" he asked
Mice" said the little chap. where's
my monica"
This puzzled some of the passengers,
and several turned to see what the child
meant. But the "big brother" knew,
and Immediately drew out a small mouth
harmonicon and placed it in the little
fellows hands, Both boys were well
dressed The little fellow took the in
strument into his thin hands, ran it
across his lips and began to play softly
Nearer, My God, to Thee" Tears
came into the eyes Of the old gentleman
who had given up hfs seat, and as the
little fellow played on, running into
'Rock Of Ages" and "Abide with Me-"
there were many moist eyes in the car
The little player seemed to have re-
markably true ear and occasionally,
when the instrument would rasp, he
would turn sadly to his "big brother"
and say, Don't whistle"
The train rushed along, the passen-
gers listened and the little fellow
played on tirelessly, never missing
note from annie Laurie" or Home,
Sweet Home" Finally the ''big brother
leaned down and told the little one to
get ready to leave, as the train was ap-
preaching their station. Then, as if he
knew he had won a whole carload of
friends, the blind boy quickly changed
"The Suwanee River" into "Auld Lang
Syne," and with one accord the passen-
gers burst into round Of applause,
while the 'Fbig brother" carried the lit
tie one out of the cart-New York Times.

An English barrister has patented
novel form of steamship, in which
four hollow steel rollers are made to
support on their journals above the
water strong steel framework.
This framework bears tho machinery
and all that is necessary to fit tho
ship as a carrierof passengers, pleasure
yacht, marine residence, sanitarium,
or hotel. Each roller is provided
with paddles, and is rotated by a
steam-eneine at each end. The
ships floor being supported solidly
on the journals of the floating rollers,
pitching and rolling can be reduced
and mado even imperceptibls by in
creasing the size Of the rollers and
their distance apart. The rollers
may be made of almost any size, and
when very large should give greater
speed, as we'll as steadiness, than can
now be attained.

STATESMAN: The surveyors OF the
North and South road, as it is at pres
ent called, are now camped near
Emmett and are having considerable
difficulty in finding proper grade
from the low foothills upon which
they have been running line since
they left Caldwell on which to drop
down into the valley of the Payetts.
After once getting there they will
probably encounter no difficulty for a
long distance. The road alluded to
is intended, among other conyonien-
ees, to convey timber to the Owyheo
country, where it is claimed the sup
ply for mining purposes is not of a
very flattering nature for the future.

Of the word 'Idaho," which is des
tined to go echoing down the corri-
doris of ages as the name of the fair
est and brightest star in the galaxy of
States, there has already been enough
written to last until the Senators elect
from the mountain gem make their
maiden speeches in the Senate Cham
her at Washington.
The rivers have taken their names
from Indian words and from the
names Of their first white explorers,
and have bestowed them upon the
valleys through which they flow,
which in turn have given these names
to the towns and settlements.
The many beautiful and interest
ing historical associations connected
with the Snake river make the name
of the stream almost classical, not
withstanding its uneouth sound. The
stream CHANGED to be so called from
the name of tribe of Indians, the
| Shoshones, who were thus called on
account of their peculiar style of
Workmanship in which they excelled
all the other red denizens of the
plains in riding rapidly on serpen-
tiAe course. ''Les Serpents" was
what the Canadian ooyageurs called
them, and LA riviere aux serpents''
was the title by which these Canadi-
an mountaineers designated the
stream which flows through the
country,
"Boise" is a French word, meaning
wooded" and this name was also
bestowed upon river and valley by
these same adventurous first visitors.
Payette, Weiser, Bruneau and sever
al others were names of local. chief
traders in the employ of the Hudson
Ihl coiipduy.
In Northern Idaho, the Clearwater
river took its name from the Indian
word kooskooskia, meaning waters OF
crystal clearness. Lewiston was so
named from Captain Lewis of the
Lewis and Clark expedition.
The Occur d'Alenes were not "awl
hearted" Indians, nor Indians with
pointed hearts, as some have transla-
ted the name. The word was at the
start one of those barbarisms OF
speech into which uncultivated peo-
pie sometimes twist the words of their
native language for the purpose OF
giving expression to new idea.
| The Canadian trappers and hunters
found tribe of Indians inhabiting
the country bordering on the beauti-
full sheet of water since known as
Occur d'Alene lake. These Indians
were strong of limb and feet of foot
-tlreless runners up hill and down
hill, and their first white visitors gave
them tho name of Cmur d'haleine,
meaning that they were strong
breathed or long winded, literally,
"hearts of breath" In the course OF
time, the h, which is inasplrate in
French, was dropped, and also the
in the word, and thus we have to- day
the word "Alene," which, by this ac-
cident, is identical with the French
word, which means "awl," shoema-
ker's tool. So there is nothing "awl
hearted" or "pontsd hearted" about
these long windod Ceur d'Alenes.
