Girls RUN roR BEATTY.

l'unning is as natural to healthy girl
as breathing, but it is carefully trained
out OF her at as carly an age rs possible,
and who ever saw grown woman who
possessed that supreme grace of motion!
To see woman run is to look ut Il goose
waddling. Did you ever look mt friczc
OF Greek girls running in any classic col
lection: Did it not impress you with its
beauty, health and sweetness, its JOY in
living! Could You look ut the round,
supple limbs, instinct with grace and free
dom, the short tunics, the lightncss and
poisc of the figures without feeling that
thcse'argc eyed sound lungcd creatures
were what woman wns meant to be!
Many disorders of the complexion come
from functional difficulties, and to be
able to run is to possess strong limbs
which bear lifc's burden casily-Nrs

Apropos of Matthew Arnold, it seems
that his son Mat had very decided opin-
ions. One night the boy heard some one
say that the moon was made of green
cheese. Very quickly he said: az don't
believe the moon is made of green
cheese" "Don't you?" said his father,
why not?" "Oh," said the young
gentleman, II don't know why, but 1
don't" "Well for my part, " said his
father, II have no respect for people who
give opinions for which they can give
no reasons. Young Mat was very much
mortified and went off by himself to hide
his feelings. The next morning rs bright
rs possible, he greeted his father with
this; 81 know now why the moon is
not made of green cheese. I found it
ont i'll Genesis" "Ah," said Matthew
Arnold, "you have the advantage of me.
Ibid not know the subject was mentioned
in Genesis" sob, yes, papa" said the
boy, "there is an account of the Gre
alton, and the moon was made before
there were any cows!" So Matthew the
younger triumphcd over Matthew the
older PHILADELPHIA Times.

A NOVEL TRIMMING,

There have been many odd and cffec-
1--WE ways of ornamcnting dresses this
season, but New York bride seems to
have taken the lead in suggesting Il unique
style OF trimming the gowns of the fair
maids who attended her ut the ceremony.
The material of the dresses was soft white
goods. All about the skirt in dccper
border was Grecian pattern done with
common pins. The effect was quite pretty
and the trimming could not possibly have
been more economical. but if there was a
dance to follow the ceremony it is quite
reasonable to suppose that these young
women must of necessity have declined
to participate, not wishing to inflict tor
turc on their innocent partners by punct-
uring them with the pins, and destroy
ing all the poetry of the waltz. -H'rJortl

MOTHERS CORNER.

Backward and forward the rocker goes,
Waiting the baby to sweet repose:
Close to the cradle the ,mot,er crooSs -
Lullaby, rock-n-by nursery tunes;
Dreamly singing she patiently tries
Sleep to bring to tho baby's eyes.
Minute by minute the evening fits,
Still in the chair she drowsily sits IS z ~
Soothing and rubbing the aching gums;
Longing for slumbsr that never comes;
Rocsing the baby that fresful lies
Filling the room with its nervous cries. 70
Weary with watching the mother sings,
Wooins the god with the leaden wings;
Softer and softer tn. ,litty grows,
Now tho little ones eyelids close:
Sinking at last into dreumland deep,
Mother and baby arc fast asleep,

Renewal of Efforts to Work the Rich
Collaborating Ores.
All old Californians are familiar with the
remarkable history OF the rise and fall of
the Meadow valley mining district in Ne
va6a county many years ago-how G
mountain city sprurg up like magic dur
ing one summer and was abandoned in the
following winter. In a few months the
place became busting, busy little city,
with many metropolitan features, inciud-
ing Stock and Exchange Board and
other accessories.
But few months efforts to work the
rich but rebellious ores proved futile, and
the people abandoned the place as rapidly
as they had fiocked into It. Brick stores
were closed MP, and in some instances fine
dwellings filed with rich furniture were
left to the mercy OF the bowling winds and
fierce fury OF the winters storms.
But one solitary inhabitant remained in
the plsce-"Old man" Hartley-and be
has steid by it through all these years ex-
perimenting with various appliances for
working ores, hoping some day to fad the
solution OF the problem and thus become
immensely wealthy Companies and syn
dictates have been formed for the same pur-
pose, and even the celebrated electrician,
Edison, has been reported IS having
scheme for reducing these ores by cleo
tricity.
At all events, the buried riches OF Meadow
Lake have never been lost sight Of and
correspondent of the Mining and Scientific
Press now claims that q, last there is every
assurance thet the rich sulphuretic ores Of
that district can be successfully treated, and
plant is now being created TO accomplish
the result. All attempts to handle the ores
py COLONIZATION having failed, careful ex.
periments for the concentration of the rich
but rebellious atoms have been made, and
by thus reducing the great bulk OF the ore,
it can be handled at profit.
Il is also stated that the Hercules Mining
Company viii iRauguraie extensive opera
tons at Meadow Lake next spring on a big
ledge. Free milling will not be attempted,
but an effort will be made to get the gold in
the sulphurets, By concentration, etc 1t is
claimed that the new process will surely be
successful. in which event there will be
another rush TO that Nevada county dis.

syndicate will also commence operations

"Sh-h-h!" The Chinaman glanced
around furtively, as if afraid that some
one would overhear what he had TO tell.
Then, evidently satisfied that everything
was ell right, he proceeded to relate his
tale OF woe.
He wanted horse arrested
The Chinaman explained that he is the
proprietor OF laundry located on o street,
between Eleventh and Twelfth. One dav
last week boy led an old, blind and tot
tering nag up 10 his door and asked if he
could keep the animal in All Sings stable.
The launcrymsn was willing to care Tor the
horse over night-bat not for nothing.
Four bits was agreed upon finally as the
remuneration for Sings trouble, and the
dilapidated cob was safely housed-the
money being psid in advance.
The youth did no: return for his pet the
next morning On time, and Sing resolved

and 10 his establishment found his equine
ledger dead ss door.nail.
Still the boy did not come back. and the
next day it cost the laundryman So 10 have
tho dead horse removed to the bone ward.
Sing believed, and still believes, that he
was the victim OF deep and well laid con-
fidence game. Consequently, when he
visited his stable yesterday morning, and
found that during tie previous night some.

how had placed another rheumatic and

to be caught twice OF the same joke-he
was not going 10 pay out another So to the
bone-yerd people, if he knew it.
And that was why Sing hurried down to
the police station to get the horse arrested.
We'll, what charge shall we put against
the animal after he is arrested?' asked the
jailer.
"Oh, me no care-charge em dunk,
vaglancy, anything, me no care. Takee boss
way, that's all"
But Mr.. White was in a quandary. He
was not well up on the law Of horse crimes,
he explained. Poor Sing nearly had
hemorrhsge when the officer told him to
call around to-day, and he left the place
vowing that he would turn the asthmatic
nag out into the street, if it was not dead
before he got home.
