''Bosh! Hand 'em over"

The man went outside, walked around 9

to sit down and say:

that October afternoon were as grand as
any terrestrial type could afford.
Won Moltke said afterward about the
striking situation of the mortuary chapel
and its surroundings: "When people
come to visit my grave, 1 want them to
have something beautiful to look at"
The evening at the chateau was passed

and three of the Prussian Generals in
dulged in a rubber at whist. Some of
the younger members of the party for
joke got the phonograph to record all
the frequent remarks of the players with
out their knowledge. When the game
was over they were called to the phono-
graph, and very much to their astonish-
ment 1t repeated all the conversation ac-
companying the play. The phonograph,
in the role OF an eavesdropper, seemed to
impress them as a dangerous thing to
have around.
Another day was pleasantly passed at
the home of the great warrior, and then
Mr.. Wangeman and his wife paid brief
visit to Won Kulmitz, a nephew of Won
Moltke, at Breslau. From there the
phonograph was taken to Vienna, where
it made as great furor as at the German
capital and at Paris.

A Struggle with Sturgeon.

Faithful Jim is the name of an old Siwash
in the employ of Mr.. w. II. Vianen. Jim
looks after the fish-house, cleans salmon,
runs the delivery barrow, breaks ice, and
performs numerous other little duties of
an easy and pleasant nature. Faithful
Jim, as his name would indicate, is
very trustworthy and honest Indian, and
he takes really wonderful delight in
performing every one of his little duties
with an exactness and care that would
make the eyes of the strictest disciplin-
arian glitter with pride and pleasure. The
other morning number of fat and hand
some sturgeon were landed on the slip,
apparently dead, and without the power
of motion, and Mr.. Vianen ordered Jim
to carry them inside and clean them. Jim
carried the first two inside and laid them
down carefully beside the water hole,
and he was just about to deposit the
third, a fifty FOUNDER, when the fish,
coming suddenly to life, gave tremen-
dous wriggle and almost slipped through
Jim's hands into the water hole. Faithful
Jim took strong hold and was about to
drag it from the water, when the fish
gave another jump, causing the Siwash
to slip, and like flash the fish and the
man shot through the hole into the river
Then there was commotion in the
depths that betokened that a gigantic
struggle was in full swing, and the lott
erers who had seen the accident felt very
anxious for Jim's safety, for they knew
he would never let go while life remained
in his body. The terrible struggle lasted
fully minute, and Jim's long shaggy
hair came to the surface, swirlng and |
twisting and lashing the water into
foam. Mr.. Vianen seized the hair and
drew Jim's head above water, and as he
did so the Siwash gave vent to Squam-
ish war-whoop, which startled the whole
"Me Faithful Jim," he
said, and sure enough when they drag
ged him out the fish was found locked in
he strong embrace of his arms, and as
peaceful as a snail, after the long strug-
gle. Then Faithful jim seized a heavy |
club, and, after dancing species of ST.
wash war dance over the tired sturgeon,
Delabored ituntil life was extinct New

DEER IN SNOW PITS.
Imprisoned in Corrals of Their Own
Making Easily Tanned.

From gentleman recently down from
the mountains the Appeal learns of the
strange experiences of various sorts of
wild animals last winter: "Deer, when
caught in binding snow-storm, huddle
together and tramp round and round in
a circle, beating down the soft snow, so
that when very heavy fall occurs during
say twelve hours, they find them
selves in snow pen, with walls above
them, and if they commence to tramp
on top of several feet of snow during a
storm, they often find themselves in
corral of snow, with a wall surrounding
them to height of ten or twelve feet
when the storm clears off, being virtually
imprisoned in snowy prison pen, from
which escape is impossible until the
spring thaw of the season.
'There lives an old miner on Canon
Creek, in Sierra County, several miles
above Brandy City, who was taking a
stroll near his cabin last winter after one
of the heavy SHOWS, when he came across
one of these deer pens in the snow, and
there imprisoned were seventeen deer Of
various sizes. They were In circular
pen of snow, with walls fifteen feet high.
Upon the mans appearance the deer be-
came quito excited, and huddled together
and lodged from one side ef the pen to
the other. However, as hunger came
upon them they became more docile, and
the frequent visits of the miner, with
boughs and buds from adjoining trees,
which he threw into the pen as food,
caused the deer to become regular pets,
and to watch for the visits of their pro-
tector. After awhile the man placed a
ladder in the pit, and spent great deal
Of time in handling his pets. Occasion
ally he would take one out for food, as
meat became scarce, and in this way
used up several of the deer, but he has
most of the deer yet in state of domes-
tication. 1t is said he has a deer ranch
in his mountain home, much after the
fashion of cattle ranch on small
scale"
The Appeal is also informed that a
similar band of deer was found in one OF
those deadly snow pits near Washington,
Nevada County, and was likewise res
cued. The streets of Downieville were
enlivened last winter by the appearance
of deer which were driven from the
mountains down to the river towns by
starvation, and domesticated by kindness
and food. AS the snow has been disap
pearing many carcasses of deer have beer
found where they have perished in the
deadly snow corral. The heavy and
sudden SHOWS of the past winter have
caused fearful mortality among the deer
which did not escape to the lower
altitude, e,-Marysyill (Cal. \ Appeal.

Iceland's Hot Springs.

AS to the hot springs, those in Reyk-
jadal, though not the most magnificent,
are perhaps the most curious among the
numerous phenomena of this sort in Ice
land. On entering the valley you see
columns of vapor ascending from diff
ferent parts of it. There is number of
apertures in sort of platform of rock.
The water is at 212 degrees Fahrenheit,
and it rises two or three feet into the air.
A river flows through the valley in the
the midst of which a jet of boiling water
issues with violence from q rock raised
but few feet above the icy-cold water
of the river. Not far from this place is
the grotto or cave of Surt, which is so
large that no one has penetrated to its
inner end. In forming these scenes ma
ture seems to have deserted all her ordi-
nary operations and to have worked only
in combining the most terrific extremes
which her powers can command. Nor is
she vet silent. After the lapse of ages
the fire of the volcano still bursts out
among regions of eternal snow, and the
impetuous laundering of the geysers con
tinues to disturb the stillnes of the sur.
rounding solitude. - Murray's Mag
aZine.
