A Queer Distinction I'm Ca,,forn la.

There were some queer distinctions
in those days. One Sunday, going to
the butchers booth, l found a GUS
toner ahead OF me, who inquired II he
could not have a piece of a liver whi ch
was hanging on tree in plain sight.
" Don't know il you can or not"
said the butcher.
"I'd like TO know why? I've been
trading with you all along, and never
asked for liver before, but l want
some variety now"
Stand around and let me look at
you. No, you can't have any liver"
Well, why?"
There amt enough to 90 round. l
have to have some rule about givin' it
out, and have decided that no miner
can have a scrap of liver from me un-
less he wears a canvas patch on the
seat Of his pants"
The canvas patch was a badge OF
precedence as well recoznized in our
camp on the Trinity as the star Of the
Order OF the Garter is in Great Britain.

BRUTAL TREATMENT OF A
MINE OWNER.

SACRAMENTO, June 10.-Mrs. Vic
toria Walcott, a lady residing in Oak
land, has returned here from visit to
Gold Rr1, where she went to investi-
gate some hydraulic mining property
left her by her late husband. She
tellsa story of indignities to which she
was subject while there. She went
down in mine adjoining her own TO
look at the situation, and she says she
hardly made her appearance when
she was rudely ordered TO leave the
premises. The lady was about TO go
when, as she claims, George Betlen
and Geore Mullon and four other men
made a rush for her and dragged her
for distance OF nearly half a mile,
finally dropping her unconscious near
the railway track. How long she re-
mained there she has no means OF
knowing. On the way her assailants
threatened her il she reported her ex-
periences she would be hung. Mrs.
Walcott says that when she applied at
the hotel for rooms and meals she was
promptly refused either. Then she
called on some old friends, but they
declined to supply her with food or
shelter, saying they had been warned
not to do SO. Mrs. Walcott says that
she was.compelled to pass two nights in
the woods, and that when she applied
to the District Attorney of Placer
county for the arrest of the ruiiians
she was told that il she had sympathy
with farmers she could not get justice.
The Attorney advised the lady not to
have the men arrested, and she there
upon desisted. Mrs. Walcott says that
she is in sympathy with neither min
ers or farmers all she went to Gold
Run for was took after her interests.

Uahappy English weather.

Several persons who have recently
had occasion to sit up very late report
their discovery that it is now broad
daylight at in the morning. This is
the only indication which has been
vouchsafed to Englishmen that their
happy sea-girt isle is not still in the
midwinter season. Positively no such
season has been seen here before.
Everybody is wearing the thickest
Winter flannels and heavy overcoats,
as at Christmas-tide. The strange
malady, which is called the influenza,
continues to make the death-rate the
largest known in modern statistics,
and shows very few signs of abate-

A Chinese GIrI,s Life.

The Chinese girls education begins
at six years of age. Then she must
submit to the bandaging Of her feet,
which cruel custom eripples the poor
child and causes her untold suffering.
But as small feet are considered a
mark Of great beauty this barbarous
custom which has obtained in China
for ages, is still practiced. The band
ages are changed as often as they be-
come soiled, but the practice contin-
ues until the girl reaches the age OF
nineteen. Sometimes, when about
ten, the bones Of the toe are broken
to prevent further growth.
At nineteen the girl is married.
But courtship, as it is known among
the Americans, is not understood or
tolerated by the Chinese. Mutual af-
fection is not the foundation of the
marriage, but the children are be-
trothed in infancy by their parents,
and when grown are obliged to fulfill
the Observation-Disclosures Times.

the Widow Bedott quoted her late

proved by noting the percentage of
thin, scrawny, pale and otherswise
defective people in any crowd but OF
late the doctors have presented ap-
palling proofs that city-bred people
are unusually "poor critters" Their
greatest defect is in the eyes. One
third of all the city people are more or
less near-sighted. The tall buildings
limit their range OF vision, the invisi-
BILE dust. even more than the visible.
Injuries the eye, and the wearied organ
is not restored by gazing over the
green fields and far away. The mar
row walls Of the home or playground
or schoolroom shut the children in
during their growing years, and the eye,
habituated to so short a range, loses
half its capacity. The truth OF this is
proved, and more's the pity.
