John L. Parish, well known min

Colorado, says that never in all his
experience in the mountains has he
witnessed anything like the snow
storms of the six weeks previous to
April 1. For 18 days. he says, he
was snowbound in the Red mountains
near Rico, Cal, and during that Pc
riod was literally cut off from the
world, The snow storm, which rag
ed for weeks, started in about Feb
ruary 10. and since that time the
trails to the mines have been covered
up and fully 30 lives lost by the dis
astrous snow slides that were of al
most daily occurrence. The great
producing mines are completely shut
off and thousands of tons of ore
are awaiting the re-opening of the
trails.

The clause in the Mckinley bill af-
fecting the tariff on sugar went into
effect April L. All over the country
thousands of barrels of sugar had
been in bond in ware houses waiting
the beginning of the operations of
the law. The price has gone down
two and one-half cents on a pound,
everywhere, and in some cases three
cents. No action of any political
party ever directly affected so many
people as this one clause. 1t will be
felt in the homes of the poor as well
as the rich and every person in all
this broad land will have burden
raised from their shoulders.

The Italian Ministry Mad.

The Italiann government is exclt-
ed over the New Orleans massacre
and Baron Fava, Minister from that
country is recalled with some prob
ability of further trouble.
AS to whether the diplomatic rela-
tions of the two countries are by this
act to be practically severed is the
interesting question of the hour.
Notwithstanding the apparent pa
triotic stand of the Italian Govern
ment in view of the unjustifiable Kill
ling of the Italian subjects by the
New Orleans mob, the impression
commonly holds that the present ac-
ton Is for effect.
1t is generally supposed that the
italian Government would await the
conclusion of the Grand Jury inves-
tigation, now in progress, before TAX
ing any official and determinate ac-
ton in the matter.
1t is quite evident that the pres
ent Italian administration is exceed
ingly weak, and that it is endeavor-
ing to make up in theatrical effects
for it's lamentable display of essen
tial weakness.
There is, therefore, beyond all
reasonable doubt a large degree of
high jingoism in this apparently he
roic and desperate move of Marquis
di Rudini in recalling Baron Fava.
The italian Minister himself, it is
said, takes this view of the case, and
expresses very forcibly his disappro-
baton of the present theatrical and
''Jingo" policy of his home govern
ment.
1t may be confidently stated that
no immediate action will be taken by
this country in view of the official re-
call of Baron Fava. Neither coun-
try has anything to gain by war, and
the mere Ministerial pretense of pa
triotlc concern on the part of Mar
quis di Rudini for Italian honor,
dramatically displayed in the last
move of the Italian Prime Minister,
will fail of any serious effect upon
the relations of the two governments.

Aside from party considerations
the election of FELTON,, republican,
United States senator from Califor-

he will succeed a free silverite and
counterbalance Senator Stanford in
the same direction. Senator elect
FELTON, is sound in his financial views
which fact was used against him in
his election with all possible force,
but without success. The presump-
tion is that the free silver craze is
convalescent.

The Oldest Kissing Story.

The oldest kissing story is proba-
bly, that of the Hindoo herdsman who
was walking along the road with an
kettle on his back, live goose in
one hand and in the other a cane and
rope by which he was leading "a
goat. Presently a woman joined
him, and they walked along together
until they reached dark ravine,
when she shrank back, declaring she
was afraid he might kiss her by
force there in the dark. The man
explained that by reason of his bur-
dons he could not possibly do so.
yes" said the woman, "but what
is to hinder you from sticking the
cane in the ground and tying the
goat to it, and then laying the
goose on the ground and COW
ering 1t with the kettle: And then,
how could l help myself if you wick
edly persisted in kissing me!"
"Many thanks" said the man.
II never should have thought of
all that. You are an ingenious wo-
man. May your ingenuity always
succeed" "
SO they went on until they reached
the darkest part of the ravine. Then
he stuck the cane in the ground and
tied the goat to it, and put the goose
under the kettle by the cane, aud
then wickcdly kissed the woman in
spite of her great resistance,

When one sees a woman going

sunless, dark day, with lace
hounched parasol held up as serenely
as If she was not an object OF smiles,

er to make out her bill for $50 more
than it actually is, and when she
keeps two bonnets till they are both
paid for and then gets the store to
take one back and give her the mon
ey, one wonders.
When woman sits at an evening
entertainment in room where the
temperature IS at least 75 : with a
sealskin cloak on, which she does not
even unbotton, though the rest are
uncomfortable with jackets removed
one wonders.
When an intelligent woman grasps
the one who has just edited the club
with lengthy paper and tells her it
was fine, so enjoyable and instruc-
tive, after she has just been telling a
friend that it was fiat and awfully
stupid, one wonders.

RIGHT SORT OF MEN.

''1t is not every man who would
stand by woman in a moment Of
embarrassment" says bright Bos-
ton girl who finds voice through the
Yankee Blade. Il once saw youth
desert his partner in the dance be-
cause she dropped her shoe or some
thing Of that sort; and there are
many like him in this degenerate age
can't bear ridicule, you see. But
not long ago l had occasion to 60 to
town by rail. 1t was about o clock
in the morning, and the train and
station we're black with men. There
was not woman, sister woman, to
be seen when the lace of my petit
coat caught in something just as l
was leaving the car, and with loud
triumphant zig ripped off to the
extent of about two yards. There
was all this white stuff hanging, and
l had to get rid of it in some way. |
stepped to one side and began to tear
the lace across, but the lace was as
strong as the sewing had proved
weak; not a thread of it would give.
Every one of the stream of
men passing turned his head to
look at me struggle, and l could feel
my face crimson with exertion and
modification. That kind of situa-
tion has a hasheesh effect, and
though it seemed like hours, l sup
pose it was only minute till gen.
tleman, busily talking to compan-
ion, passed to me, and, hardly turn
ing his eyes my way, held out an
open pocketknife then he walked
on very slowly and apparently abb
sorbed in conversation. 1t was the
work of a second to sever the lace,
roll it up in my muff and return him
his knife. Ny gratitude was too
deep to express itself in what the
plays call ''the smooth, hollow
phrases of society,"" l am not sure
that opened my lips, but am sure |
looked things unspeakable. He took
the knife with just the slightest bow,
and, touching his hat, returned to
his conversation with his friend. 1t
was little thing, you may say, but
it was Just the kind OF little thing
that tests mans breeding exquis-
itely.''

Life After Forty.

The best half of life is in front of
the man of forty, if he be anything
of a man. The work that he will do
will be done with the hand of a mas
ter, and not of a raw apprentice.
The trained intellect does not see
"men as trees walking" but sees
everything clearly and in just meas
ure. The trained temper does not
rush at work like blind bull at a
haystack. but advances with the calm
and ordered pace of conscious power
and deliberate determination.
To no man is the world so new and
the future so fresh as TO him who has
spent the early years of his manhood
in striving to understand the deeper
problems of science and life, and who
has made some headway toward COM
pretending them. TO him the COM
monnest things are rare and wonder
ful, both in themselves and as parts
of beautiful and intelligent whole.
Such thing as staleness in life and
its duties he cannot understand.
knowledge is always opening out be-
fore him in wider cxpanses and more
commanding heights.
If he be a doctor he finds that the
fresh study of one of the organs of
the human body yields pleasure
and an enlightenment which it never
yielded before he sees the wonders
of minute structure with new powers
of comparison; he marks the rela-
tions that subsist between different
organs with fresh comprehension and
delight: he sees possibilities of de-
velopment and restoration which
never struck him in his earlier stud
les; the various parts of the body,
and the whole of the organism in re.
lation to its powers, its functions
and its environment constitute a mir
acle, the wonderfulncss OF which
knows no end.
The pleasure of growing knowl-
edge and increasing power in its pc
culiar field of work makes every year
of his life happier and more hopeful
than the last. - Exchange.

Cupid's Net.

The hammock has much to answer
for. 1t has developed from nothing
into a potent factor of midsummer
joys and sorrows.
A decade ago the hammock was
sporadic. 1t is now universal. Ger
tain tourists from this heretofore un-
hammocked land of the free journey
ing in Mexico and in Cuba noted the
meshed crescent with interest first
and with admiration afterwards, in
somuch that they brought one Of the
swaying couches with them.
The result has been remarkable.
Americans have taken the hammocks
to their very hearts, and American
ingenuity has developed machinery
capable of turning out hammocks al
most as fast az the finished article
will turn out its occupant.
A summer bereft of hammock
would be to the American lad and
lass an unromantic period.
The hammock is an institution
which could not have its origin in
so busy and practical land as
American. 1t is a laughter of the
south, of lands where languor and
idleness reign beneath an almost ve.-
tical sun. Its motion savors of leis-
ure and its mission is one of ro-
nance. AS an aid to Irritation it is
twin sister to the fan.
The hammock is fashioned much
like a spiders web. But who would
not willingly be a fly when the web
holds a charming maiden? And
what man is there with soul so dead
who is not glad that the hammock
has come to stay Plttsburg Bul
letin.

Why We Wonder.

Sometimes Bohemians indulge in
Sunday night suppers. This is not
at all to be wondered at, but when
the woman about town attempts to
make Welch rarehit and fails, after
her many most clever remarks on the
subject, one is surprised. Then
when another woman, whose books
of recipes and household talks are
an authority, comes to the rescue and
attempts to mix the ingredients SO
they will not curdle, and they both
ignominiously fail, one wonders still
more, and finally, after the seventh
attempt, all having despaired in spite
of so much brains brought to bear on
the problem of testing the real .art-
Gle that night, when no less an indi-
vidual than man steps forward and
, achieves the success of the occasion
one wonders yet more.

rang out, but the anger of Colonel
Ashley and Judge Hawthorne had
made their nerves a little unsteady,
and the bullets went wide of their
mark.

Both principals shook their heads
and again they were placed in posi-

were heard, and a moment later
Colonel Harris rode up between the
principals.
"Stop this Stop it at once, say !
1t is all a mistake. Here is your let
ter, Judge; give me mine; the boy
got our letters mixed."
Judge Hawthorne was forced to
read the letter placed in his hands
by Colonel Harris. AS he finished
reading he threw down his pistol and
going over to his opponent he said,
as he extended his hand: Colonel
Ashley, it was all mistake; l have
just received the letter intended for
me. l apologize and Nellie shall
name the day for the wedding"
And you shall have Nellie, the
bay filly, for wedding present,
