THE BREYFOGLE MINE.
A Story Of the Arabian Nights
Order

The story OF the Breyfogle mine
and its redisoovery, briefly told, IS as
follows: In the early tifties Il party
of which Breyfogle was Il membor,
set out from the Missouri river for
California. The party had boon out
about four mouths, and was journey
ing across Southern Nevada, when
Breyfogle became separated from his
He was something of miner, and
round Il place where he could literally
dig great nuggets of gold out Of de-
composed quartz, or cement as he
called it, with his knife. He returned
TO camp, but the travellers we're short
of water and grub and would not
consent to remain and return with
him to the scene of the discovery.
Breyfogle, afeer reaching Los Angeles,
spent the remainder OF his life trying
to lind this mine ia the desert, but he
and several parties whom he furnished
with maps failed, and many lost their
lives. Two months ago man named
Montgomery discovered. in the rugged
mountains southeast of Death Valley,
q location which answered Breyfogle's
description. When he prospected he
found ledge eighty feet wide, and
traced it 5000 feet. In decomposed
surface rock the gold is like plums in
pudding. Pieces OF quartz are from
aquarter to half bright yellow gold,
while with Il hand morter the lucky
discoverer pounded out in q short
time yeast powder can full of mug
gets Of various sizes. All along the
lodge free gold is found in quantities
that astonish the oldest prospect tors,
and which seem hardly credible. His
discovery has already induced many
adventurous spirits to strike for the
new Ell Dorado, where the placer
claims are said to be as rich MS the
quartz. The prospect is that these
old desert mines, which have lured
many men to death, will now make
others rich.-LChloride Bolt.

Here is an incident that will interest
johnnie Wannamaker's experts. A GU
riOusly addressed letter lately passed
through the post Office at Madrid, which
was deciphered and correctly delivered,
notwithstanding the difficulties. The
address was perfect rebus. At the left
hand side was the figure of a lady; it was
clear, therefore, to which sex the recipi-
ent should belong, Over the lady's head
the sun was rising, Hence, her name
was inferred to be Aurora. For her sur
name stood a hill with castle at its foot,
which gives us ''Montes Castillo. -
Next comes the town, for which the plan

brambra was legible. This indicated
Granad, but in order to leave no doubt
possible, a pomegranite was drawn be-
side the plan. To complete the address
number was indicated in one of the
streets of the city plan. The postal au-
thorities took three days to study this
curiosity, and then triumphantly deliv-
cred the letter to 'Senorita Aurora Mon
ties Castillo, Alacsyas, No. 20, Grana-
da, and so far from censuring the send

Debt, Dirt and the Devil.

To keep debt, dirt and the devil out of
my cottage has been my greatest wish
ever since | set up housekeeping. Surely
these form trinity of evils that should
be carefully guarded against. A man in
debt is slave, toiling to meet the de-
mands of another He cannot call what
he possesses his own. He had better a
great deal have less, and owe no man
anything according to the apostolic in
junction, than to have large possessions
for which he is responsible, but which in
whole or in part belongs to another A
man in debt is like person overheard
with a great weight about his neck, with
which, by great exertion, he may reach
the shore, but which, nevertheless, may
sink him at any moment. But whatever
excuse may be made for men going into
debt, surely uone can be offered for their
living in dirt. Soap and water are cheap,
and brushes and brooms are not very ex-
pensive,- Spurgeop.

Chin Foes Advice

An intelligent Chinaman in New
York, discussing suicide in America,
which he says is comparatively un,
known in China, gives us Americans
the following advice. Most of it is
good;
Change your marriage laws alone
and half of youl suicides would be
gone. Let young girls stay at home
with their mothers TO be taught the
art of housekeeping and needle work.
Let the mothers help them to select
good husbands at the proper ti.Ae,
and give the young men a chance to
earn living wages for the support of a
wife.
Let all rich fathers send their sons
to school to learn the duties OF supe~
ricr manhood and the art of life. Help
them to select a suitable wife at their
proper age. Don't let them wait I'M
til you are old enough to die to set
them up in lite. If the son is proper
ly brought up in boyhood he will
know how to conduct himself in man,
hood. Always give the deserving
poor youth the first chance, and the
rich one the second; only thus will
YOU become a nation of morllists and
philosophers.
The rest of the suicides viii be
saved by stopping all manner of la,
bor>saving machinery for the next
ten years.
Allow no divorces except in extreme
cases. No man should put away his
wife because she Is too old. In such
cases the rich husband should be al,
lowed to support younger woman
legally as a wife, but not on the same
basis as his first wife. In this man
ner only can the surplus number of
women obtain legal husbands. An
open secret is much more honorable
and creates less social misery than
hidden one.
