4 Wonderful Cavern.

Sam Tyack, the enterprising lessee
Of the Syndicate broke into a natural
cave in the mine few days ago, about
200 feet from the surface, and dis
| covered many things of interest to the
student of archaeology. The miners
were putting in a hole, when the drill
suddenly disappeared. much to their
astonlshment. A couple of holes of
less depth were then drilled and fired,
which made an aperture though which
the men entered chamber about forty
feet square and quite as high, the
sides and roof of which were chalce-
dony bulged out in all sorts of grotes-
| que shapes. Sammy entered first, and, "
swinging his candle around caught
sight of score of objects that startled
him. Come in boysr' he exclaimed.
Here's a bloody anatomical museum
| They crawled in and participated in
Sans astOnishment, for which there
was ample cause, as the interior of the
cave flashed with the iridescence of a
million of colOred gems. 1t seemed
so Sam says-as if all the glittering
stars in the armament had come down
to hold high carnival and flash them
selves through lenses of varierated
hues. Exploring farther they found
more cause for wonder. Petrifactions of
animals, birds and reptiles abounded.
| There were great owls and monstrous
bats, and several snakes as hideous as
if endowed with life, as they were
many ages ago, before Bodle Bluff was
created, and when the present site of
MOno's metropolis was closely dotted
with vents of thermal springs, from the
accretions of which millions of dollars
in bullion have been given to the COM
mercial world. Mr.. Tyack has re-
moved several of these petrifcations in
perfect FORM intending to forward
them to Professor Irelan. Chief of the
State Mining Bureau, who will highly
appreciate them. The few who have
been permitted to view this interesting
chamber of antiquities were almost be-
numbed with astonishment. Hank
Blanchard remarked that it recalled the
time when God was moulding the earth
TO its present spherical form, cycles of
ages before Cain belted the stuffing
out of Abel with Il baseball club. As
| this is Hanks second time on earth he
| has a right to refer to such things

What Is a Gentleman?


What is gentleman. Is it thing
Decked with a scarfpin, a chain and a ring,
Dressed in a suit of immaculate style,
Sporting an eye-glaSS, a lisp and Il smile;
IalkIng of races and concerts and balls
Evening assemblies and afternoon calls
Summing himself at lat home" and baZars,
NhiStling maZurkas and smoking cigars?
What is a gentleman? Say. is it one
BoaSting of conquests and deeds he has
done?
One who unblushingIy glories to speak
Things which should call up flush to his
cheek?
One who, while railing at actions unjust.
Robs some young heart of its pureness and
Scorns to steal money, or jewels. or wealth.
Thinks II no wrong to take honor by stealth?
What gentleman? Is it not one
Knowing instinctiVely what he SbOuld Shun
Spreading no scandal and deep'ning-nO stain?
one who knows how to put each at his ease,
surviving successfully always to please
One who can tell by Il glance at YOur cheek
When to be silent and when he should speak?
" What is a gentleman? Is ii not one
Honestly eating the bread he has won,
walking in uprightness, fearing his God,
Leaving no stain on the path he has trod;
caring not whether his coat may lie old;
Prizing sincerity far above gold?
Becktng not whether his hand may be hard
Stretching it boldly to grasp its reward?
What is a gentleman? Saw. is it birth
Makes man noble or adds to his worth?
Is ttlere family tree to be had
Shady enough to conceal what is bad?
seek out the man who has God for his guide,

ADVICE TO DYSPEPTlCS.
Common Sense and Their Own Stomach
Are to be Strictly Obeyed.

Eli dyspeptics should avoid anything
which they (not others) cannot digest
says the n. Y. Ledger. There are so
many causes for and forms ofdyspepsia
that it is impossible to prescribe one
and the same diet for all. Nothing is
more disa@reeable or useless than to be
| cautioned against eating this or that.
because your neighbor so and So"
cannot eat such things. If we would
all study the nature and digestion
| flood, and rememherth that air and eNer-
| else are as essential as food in prOmot
! ing good health, we could easily decide
upon the diet best suited to our indi-
| vidual needs. The diabetic should alb
stain from sugar and, ANYTHING which
is converted into sugar in digestion,
| such as all starch foods, sweet Omelets,
| custards, jellies, sweet sauces, starchY
nuts, wine and liquors.
The corpulent should abstain from
! fat as well as sugar and starch. 4
diet of whole wheat, milk, vegetables,
fruits and lean meat will produce only
| normal amount of fatneSS, while an
| excess of acids. sweets, spices and
shortening keeps the system in an un-
! healthful condition. Those who can
digest fine flour, pastry, sugar and fats
become loaded with fat, but are neither
strong nor vigorous.
Thin people with weak digestion
should also avoid such food, for thin
people are often kept thin by the same
food which makes others fat. If they
cannot digest the starch, butter and
fine flour the system is kept in fever
ish, dyspeptic state; they become
nervous or go into consumption for Nc
other reason than that the life is burned
out by diet which only feeds the iir'
and does not renew the tissues.
Men dig their graves with their teeth
not only by drinking whisky and using
tobacco, but by eating food loaded down
with inhammatory materials.

The whine of these Northern con-
gressmen about the proposed violation
of the principle of home rule" is all
hypocrisy. United States rule in fed
eral affairs is home rule in the truest
and best sense OF the term. There is
not and cannot be any such thing as
home rule in the sense in which they
use the words. The unit of organized
government in this country is the
township; and yet, under the strictest
theory, the : state = Itself and and not tlis
townships, the counties, or the legisla-
tive districts. controls all state cleo
tions. Acting on the same principle
the United States Government ought
to control United States elections, and
the constitution intended that ii
should. - Cleveland Leader.

AS usual the New York Sun is max
ing the Democratic opposition to the
federal election bill ridiculous. 1t
prophcsies that II is only an introduc-
ton to the famous "nan on horse
back" the Caesar and Emperor, that
is destined to bring the days of the re-
public to close. 1t says that "the
local elections of the peoples repre-
sentatives in congress will be held
with federal spies posted at our house
doors, with federal bayoners IN sign'
In the background, and the beat Of
federal drums within easy hearing"
This ironical bnrlesque of the Demo
cratic constitutional fear of tho new
law is intended as a sneer at the party
the Sun pretends to train with, but
always helps defeat. -Det. Journal.

Five Thousand Lepers.

The Paris Dix-Neuvieme Steele pub
fishes information received by private
letters from New Caledonia, which is
calculated to cause some anxiety. It
appears that leprosy is spreading in
New Caledonia in most alarming man
ner. Of 10000 Kanakas no fewer than
5000 are described as suffering from the
terrible disease. ill quite recently the
public authorities had taken no meas
ures to prevent it from spreading. but
now two subordinate colonies have
been created-one on Goat Island, in
Dumbea Bay, and the other in Canale,
at spot known as Pic des Morris. Ev-
cry inhabitant recognized as leper by
the medical commission is to be con-
fined in one of these colonies. The
correspondent of the Dix-Newviene
Steele declares that this measure has
been delayed too long to prove Of any
great use, and that it is not applied
properly. Three Europeans have al
ready been attacked by this incurable
disease
