A SPLENDID HERD OF ELK.

Reader, what would you have
given to have seen, as have, a band of
two hundred and fifty bull-elk all col
lected together on beautiful piece Of
green grassy turf at an elevation Of
nine thousand feet? Here was
sight to make mans nerves tingle.
This was the largest band of bulls,
by actual count, that l have ever
seen, though my cousin and partner
once saw, in the fall Of the year, in
Guiding bulls, COWS, and calves,
fifteen hundred. This was on the
memorable occasion when the only
elk ever killed by any of my men
gave up his life, and we have all con-
Guided that this particular elk was
frightened to death, for though
three men shot at him and each was
confident he hit him, they always as
serted afterward that no bullet
mark could be found on him. From

WHAT AN EDUCA TED MAN
OUGHT TO KNOW.

According to Ruskin an educated
man ought to know these things:
First, where he is-that is to say,
what sort of world ehas got into;
how Target is; what kind of creatures
live in it, and how; what it is made
of, and what may be made Of it.
Secondly, where he is going-that is
to say, what chances or reports
there are of any other world besides
this; what seems to be the nature of
that other world. Thirdly, what he
had best do under the circumstances
that is to say. what kind of facul-
ties he possesses; what are the
present state and wants of man
kind what is his place in society;
and what are the readiest means in
his power of attaining happiness
and diffusing it. The man who
knows these things, and who has
his will so subdued in the learning
them that he is ready to do what he
knows he ought, is an educated
man; and the man who knows them
not is uneducated, though he could
talk all the tongues of Babel.

HITTING TASTE IN CLOTHING.

In molding the mode for the masses
the manufacturer, While qu1 v1ve
with the very latest wrinkles OF
fashiOndOm, must know his clientele
so we'll as to be able to strike that
happy medium between what is eX-
IRENE and what is reasonable, and
adapt it in a manner to please
the million, says the ClOthler. The
question OF comfort is the primal one.
If the innovation is not COmtOrta bic
it will not do. Inequality OF adOrn-
ment, or rather becOmingness-tor
only women and savages adOrn
themselveS-lS not considered. The
fabrics and styles are not chosen
that will be suitable to certain types
and congenial to others, but those
patternings and shapes are decided
upon that will give general satisfac
ton to the madding crowd. The
conservative tendency OF the times
In color and design has aided the
men that manufacture clothing IN
large quantities to keep the taste OF
the great public within most crafty
ing bounds; and the fact that the
axiom that nothing is permissible in
masculine attire that Is not utlll-
tartan has been followed by them, is
another cause for this era of conf
dence among American men, former
devotees OF the cheap made-to-Order
fallacy.

PEARL FISHING.

A letter from Cuchlllo Parade,
Mexico, to the jewelers. Review
says: This usually quiet little
Mexican town, which Is located on
the river Condos, In the state OF
Chihuahua, about 80 miles from the
Texas border, Is the scene OI the
greatest activity and widest excite
ment over the discovery OF extensive
deposits of pearl oysters In the
COndeOs river, at points both above
here IN the latter part OF September.
The original discovery Was made
about TWO weeks ago by J. II. Hold
son, an American tourist, who was
making an overland trip through
this section. 1t was not long until
several Mexican natives became
aware OF the rich lind, and the news
spread SO rapidly that III few days
the river banks tor miles IN each
direction from this place were
thronged with eager pearl hunters.
Improv1sed habIIatlons, such as
tents and rudely constructed nuts,
were put up all along the river, and
the scene Is d picturesque one. Inc
excitement was not long IN reaching
the interior OF the state, and hundreds
OF half-clad men, woman and children
have arrived from the distant coun-
try districts and are engaged IN
delV1ng IN the waters or the river Tor
the shells and their valuable contents.
A great many perfect and valuable
pearls have been found, Which are
disposed OF at good prices TO sPecu-
latOrs, who nave already arrived on
the scene. The news OF the discovery
has reached the city OF Chihuahua,
and d company Is Delng formed there

MISCELLANY.
AN INTERESTING FIND.

There was opened at the war de-
partment in Washington recently
large chest which contains some re-
mark able articles. 1t is the chest
which contains the garments worn
bv left Davis at the time OF his cap
ture, and forwarded to the depart
ment by the capturing officers. The
contents of this carefully guarded
strong box were, first, large, old
fashioned waterproof, OF ample OIL
mansions, such as were worn IN the
DAYS when gOssamers were not
known; secondly, Cashmere shawl,
and thirdly a pair OF rusty spurs
There is a story behind them. tor
they are mute testim onlals OF the
truth of the long doubted, much
denied story that Jefferson Davis,
the fallen president OF the conteder-
acy, was when captured, disguised
In woman's clothes. These are the
identical garments, 1t is asserted,
with which he was said to be seeking
to hide his identity long enough to
enable him to pass the Gordon OF
Union cavalry, which had surround
ed his little camp near lrwlnv1lle, Ga,
IN the gray uOulS vi AlOi iiiio- In
story of his disguise has often been
told, and as frequently denied by
those who believed that Mr.. Davis
would not resort to SO undIgnlfed a
ruse to avoid capture. During all
these contentious the existence OF
this chest and its confrmatory con-
tents have never been made public.
The officials of the war department
would gladly be rid of these gar
ments, but they are public property,
and no one is authorized to destroy
them, so they must be kept. The
waterproof is of light gray cloth,
the lower part thickly coated with
hard dry mud, gathered, 1t IS SAID,
on the roads and in the woods OF
Georgia twenty-six years ago as the
fugitive president and his party vain
ly sought safety in flight. The shawl
is OF cashmere, the body OF dark
red color with a wide black margin
running round it. The chest was
opened because a change OF custo-
dams was made and it became neces-
sarv to take an inventory.
