THE LEGEND OF NEW RIVER.
How Water Came In the Desert After q
Child's Prayer.

Chiid's Prayer.
In the early fifties party OF emil.

of California by the southern route, via
ella River. crossed the Colorado by
the ferry left by Graham in 1913 and
'struck out on the desert for the land
of promise" says "a Pioneer of lS49 in
the Hartford Courant. The trail was
well defined by abandoned wagons and
the bones of horses, mules and human
beings. Struggling through the yield
ing sand. the thermometer at 120 de-
grees, wheels falling apart animals
dying from heat and thirst they on tho
second night out halted some ten miles
from Cookies Well" with the water
in their kegs exhausted. Tradition
states that "a little tcn-year- girl was
heard praying in one of the wagons.

like faith she said; 80 good Heaven
ly Father, / know that have been a
very naughty, naughty girl. but, OH!
dear, | am so very thirsty, and mamma.
papa and the baby all want to drink so
much. DO, good God, give us water,
and ! will never, never be naughty
again.
The gaunt, half-starvcd, desperate
men gathered around the wagons, dis

make to save their lives and their dear
ones. with no thought of gold now,
and listened to the humble petition.
One voiced the rest and said May

little child, in cheerful accent, sounded
clear in silent night. 80 mother,
mother, get me water; oh. can hear
it running; OH do get some for baby
and me- They thought her delirious
from her sufferings. when suddenly a
babel of sounds broke forth from the
oxen and mules, all frantic and en-
deavoring TO break loose from the
wagon poles. A rustling noise called
their attention TO slight depression
near the wagons. and on investigating
the cause they found water gushing up
out Of the sand. sweet clear, but
warm. Their sufferings were over
and they reached the mines better and
wiser for this interposition, as they
firmly believed, of divine Providence.
This spring continued to flow, run
ming due North for twenty miles; then
was lost in the sand. In places it was
two miles wide and from four to
twenty feet deep. When immigration
in 1851 moved by the isthmus and the
Northern route the miraculous water
disappeared, "a its mission was accom-
plished and its divine work done. But

was caused by a sand bar below Yuma,

Ills Meals Trouble Him.

a Rhode Island man is having a
serious time keeping track OF his
meals. He maintains that his first
meal was his breakfast, and that his
subsequent dinners. suppe:-. and
breakfasts should follow in order.
Thus, when he has missed a dinner
and supper on one day, the first meal
of the following day was his dinner
and the MONDAY meal his supper.
His reckoning seems little odd to his
neighbors. but he is sure he is right.

SPOON COLLECTIONS.
Their Origin Traced TO "a Custom OF Eu-
ropcin Travellers.

The custom of collecting spoons
doubtless had its origin in the visits
paid Ey our well-to-do people to Eu-
rope since it has from time immemo-
rial been the custom Ito bring back
something in the way OF souvenirs Of
the trip. Representative articles from
the several countries visited were easy
to obtain. and il was but step TO the
fashion OF getting like articles from
different lands by way of contrast-as,
for instance. head dresses foot wear,
gloves and the like. Presently it was
found that the various countries in
dulgcj different patterns OF spoons

in Il representation OF a full-blown

place OF honor. the stem of the handle

WHEN athletic clubs in colleges be-
come so many schools for training pro-
fessional rowers and baseball players
the true aim OF the gymnasium is
missed. and tho physical branch OF
education degencrates into grave
abuse. A good fielder in base ball too
frequently developes the capacity OF
his heels at the expense of his head. 1t
frequently happens under this system
that the foremost in athletic sports do
not take many college honors for their

OF college athletes, in which the sport
ing element enters so largely, does not
essentially differ from contests in the

OWING to several causes we have
few native American artisans. The
first cause is the organic defect OF
American primary grade schooling.
In all European countries manual
training is a regular part Of the pri-
mary grade course. Children begin
to draw and make things as soon as
they begin to read and write. Their
senses are developed with their minds.
They learn how to use the eye and the
hand for invention and construction.
They acquire the habit OF close obser-
walton OF form and color. They ac-
quire the habit of patient experiment
with things in order to make some
thing useful with them; and at the
same time, as they are drilled i'm color
ms we'll as in form, they jnstinctively
|impart touches of beauty to what they
patiently and thoroughly make.

ANCIENT PAPER MILLS.
Where Paper IL Made By the Methods
Employed 500 Years Ago.

At Amalf, "a little village south OF
Naples near II mountain stream there
are seven ancient paper mills. In
one. rags were being beaten by ham
mers whose handles were connected
with the water wheel. just as il was
done 800 years ago. The rags, when
hammered into stuff, were made into
good wrapping paper by the help OF
n stuff-vat. The paper maker said he
made 100 kilogrammes of paper daily,
and the miller and six girls were all
the hands employed. In the other six
factories writing paper was made in
similar manner, only one being sup
piled with pulp machine. AZ Tlvoli.
a short distance from Rome. there
were three paper mills Of great age
and wire, tack and cotton mills, built
on the rocky, PERCEPTIONS banks Of the
Anio tributary OF the Tiber which
affords an ample and continuous water
power. Tie fall is 2l0 metres (about
700 feet). but was only utilized at the
lower part on account OF the rocky
steepness Of the banks, until united
Italy brought about revival of bust
ness energy. Now by means of tun-
mel built by a Roman stock company,
the upper part of this excellent water
power is reached. 1t Is hoped to light
Rome by electricity generated here by
the water power and dynamo ma
chimes, and conducted to the city
by cable. A new mill at this
point is equipped with the newest
German machinery. and manufactures
thin straw paper at small cost. The
machinery of the old mills is simple.
One, which manufactures paper from
wood pulp. has a grindstone, built
after Noclter's method. three presses
and sorting arrangement In anoth-
er. straw is bleached in stone cisterns
with lime, taking three days in sum
mer and four days in winter. The
bleached straw is ground in an old
(hollandcr) AMI changed to pulp on u
cylinder machine, the drying being
left 10 the sun and air. Considerable
crops OF wheat and oats are raised in
the mountainous regions and on the
Roman Campagna, which enables the
at cheap prices. a third mill makes
wrapping paper of rags and old paper.
There is no steam power in these
factories, "a the coal which must be
brought from England is too eX-
pensive. and Tivoli has as yet no rail
road. The three drying cylinders of
the long sieve machine in the third
mill are heated by an oven directly be-
meath them. and the heat is conducted
through lead pipes on either side OF
the cylinder, the pipes entering the
chimney huc. The resin and dyes are
dissolved and cooked in stone watts in
the open air. protected only by .
slight roof. Tn mill employs about
100 workmen, and makes from 300 TO
500 kilogrammcs of paper daily. and
also produces some blotting paper. \
mans wages are from seven to four
teen shillings a week and woman'5
five shillings. -Papier Zeitung.

The great seal is affixed TO nothing
but treaties, proclamations. commits

old seal, which had been in use since
the foundation of the government was
worn out and replaced by a new one in
the early part of 1886. It is curious fact
that the old one which was used 80 long,
was imperfect and never did answer to
the description set down in the statutes
Although using the seal is supposed to
be "a solemn affair. and the penalty for
its improper use is so tremendous it is
lett in charge OF a clerk. just like any
other piece OF furniture. and it is
doubtful II the secretary sees it twice n
year. During the early days of the
government it was guarded with much
vigilance, as its appearance upon any
document was known to give that doc
ument the force OF law. but now the
people look TO the newspapers and
