From Yellowstone Park

MAMMOTH Hot SPRINGS, WY.
July 23rd, 1891.
Editor EXPosIToR:
Thinking that letter from this place
would be of interest to the many read
ers of your paper, | take this opportu-
nifty of sending you few lines, which
l trust will find place in your col
umns. | commenced working for the
government June II, building road
twenty-five miles long on the Contin-
entail Divide, and am now on the At
lantic slope, but expect to be on the
Pacific slope in two weeks. The wealth
er is nice, but the nights are very cold,
there being frost every night, which Is
not surprising when it is known that
we are working at an altitude of over
5000 feet. The soil is mostly sand and
gravel but some places are very stoney.
The timber is mostly pine and balsam,
which grows very high and measures
from one foot to Is inches in circum-
ference. Game is plentiful, especially
elk and bear. but the government will
not allow game of any description to
he shot in the Park. About two hun
dred men and teams are employed in
the Park, and the work now being
done costs the government about 81 900
a day; the wages paid ranging between
$40 and SO month. Our bill of fare
consists of bacon, beans, black-strap
and potatoes, but all hands seem to be
thriving on it, as the men are all strong
and healthy. The camp in which am
consists of seventy men, and they rep
resent every state in the Union, and
Canada. We had very heavy snow
storms on June 20th and July 10th,
which may seem strange, but it must
be remembered that we are pretty high
up in the mountains. There are a
great many tourists in the Park this
summer viewing its beauties, which have
to be seen to be appreciated, as the
illustrations in circulars and magazines
give but the faintest idea of the grand
eur of the scenery in this place. will
be home i'll November and wish | was
there now to take part in the Comedy
Company's entertainment, and also to
get good meal, as we sometimes tire
of pork and potatoes. BARRIERS being
an unknown luxury" in this part of
the world, am compelled TO let my
hair and beard grow, and my friends
would hardly know me if they should
see me at present.
With best wishes for the prosperity
of the EXPosIToR and all friends in
Yale, am yours respectfully,
LEW MCDONALD.

- It is in this absence of salaries which
makes the slot machines valuable. The
average cost Of good machine is said
to be less than So. IL such machine
is put in barroonl with the agreement
that the proprietor of the barroom is to
receive half the money that comes in,
experience proves that such machine
win be used upon an average $50 times
week. I am speaking only of the one
cent machines. This gives 70 cents to
the barrooin and 20 cents to the owner
of the machine. Weighing machines
are more profitable than others because
they get out of order less easily. If a
imam canput out $50 such machines it is
evident that the average receipts will be
$751; after paying the percentages due
, 20 the proprietors OF barroons and other
places, The capital involved will be
about 50. 000sand one skilled mechanic
would be required to keep the machines
in order. Thus it may be seen that the
business is far from a bad one.-[Chi-

BONE OF the earliest sketches of the
veteran artist, Sidney Cooper, R a.,
were made with pencils. given to him
by stranger (xhom in later years he
met as a fellow member of the Royal
Academy. and sharpened by no less a
person than the head of the English
Church. The young artist was more
Interested, at the time, in the important
fact that he had fine new sketchine
materials. than In the identity of his
two friends. Years later, however, by
pleasing coincidence he and the giver
Of the pencils discovered each other.
=. Cooper passed his boyhood in Canter-
bury. He very early showed a taste
for art. and nothing delighted him
more than to sketch the cathedral. One
afternoon he was drawing the central
tower on slate, when a gentleman
who was sketching the cathedral
noticed his work, and gave him a
bundle Of pencils and some drawing
paper.
Years later, writes BIr. Cooper in
My Life. in 1886, at a social meeting
IN London, met Stanfield, Roberts,
Cattermole, one of the Landseers, Frank
stone, Patrick Nugent and some others,
and a proposition was made that each
of us should tell some anecdote of his
early life. / related the incident of the
slate. AS finished, Cattermole jumped
up and cried out:
& { why, Sidney, are you the slate?
Then know that 1 am the pencilsi
really am the very man who gave you
the pencils in the courtyard of Canter-
bury Cathedral; and are you verify the
man who was the boy then 2"
But though he now had pencils, he
had no knife, and had to ask a stranger
to sharpen them for him.
= Zone day a very serious looking man
snuntered by, with his hands clasped
behind his back. said to myself,
That is priest In those days the
boys called all the parsons priests, and
could see that he was a clergyman of
some sort
when he had got few yards away
gained courage and ran after him, cali
ing out, Sir, siri'
He turned round and said, what,
