Heavers ard Beaver Trapping.

James Sherman of Clifton, who is trap
ping beaver at Knappa, was telling recent
ly some queer things about beaver aud
beaver trapping. The animal, he says, has
the most acute sense OF smell of any animal
that exists. In setting the traps you must
wait till low water, in order to have the
tide Wien it GENES in obliterate all traces
of your presence. When beaver is caught
in trap the other beavers at once enable
him to make good his escape by Selling him
by the tail aud hauling him way until they
release him, often leaving the limb in the
trap as an evidence of the struggle that en-
sued. He caught beaver last winter on
Puget Island, and says that it had only two
toes on hind foot, the other three
legs being amputated as close to
the body as if the limbs had
never existed. Mr.. Sherman says there is
one faculty the beaver possesses that would
be profitable and Interesting study for
scientific men, and that is the power Of
maxi z objects adhere to the bottom of a
stream without any apparent means of
securing them. The beaver lives mostly on
wood, which it cuts and deposits on the
lotion, where it remains. contrary to the
natural laws, which would in ordinary
cases cause the wood to rise to the surface
How this is accomplished it is difficult to
decide, but it is nevertheless fact, as Mr..
Sherman assures us that he tried it time
and again. Beaver trapping pays well
where any considerable number can be
caught, the average pric5 of the furs being
from 50 80 to S. per pcu ID.

A TRAITORS ENDING.
The Sufferings of Benedict Arnold
During His Last Days.

The Sufferings of Benedict Arnol d
During His Last Days.
John Fiske tells the old story of Benedict
Arnold's treason in an article of fascinating
interest written for the Atlantic. What
may be new to many readers is Mr.. Fiske's
statement that all the family tradition goes
to show that the last years of Benedict
Arnold in London were years of bitter
remorse and self-reproach. The great name
which he had so CALAMITY won and so
wretchedly lost left MIN no repose by night
or day. The iron frame, which had with
stood the faGigues of so many trying battle
fields, and still more trying marcaes
through the wilderness, broke down at last
under the slow torture of lost friendships
and merited disgrace.
In the last sad days in London, in June,
1890, the family tradition says that Arnold's
mind kept reverting to his old friendsh p
with Washington. He had always carefully
preserved the American uniform which he
wore on the day when he made his escape
to the Vulture% and now as, broken in spirit
and weary Of life, he felt the last moments
coming, he called for this uniform and put
it on, and decorated himself with the epau-
le ties and swordknot which Washington
had given him after the victory Of Sara
toga. Let me dIe,n said he, sin this old
uniform in which fought my battles. May
God forgive me for ever putting on any
other"

From the Ne,o York Tribune.

When Henry NJ. Stanley lectured in
Scranton on Wednesday evening of last
week an informal reception was held and
many people awaited themselves of the op-
portunity of shaking the explorers hand.
Among the number was Mr. E. E. Hendrick,
a wealthy manufacturer of Carbonate,
who stopped and said: "Mr Stanley, one of
the things in your book, In Darkest Africa,
that interested me most was your vivid ac-
count of the sufferings OF your party in
Starvation Camp but one thing l never
could understand When your men were
dying for want of food, why didn't
they fish, since they were so near the
riverg" Mr.. Stanley's face was study.

hesitated in evident surprise and consternc-

hero of the dark continent, who has COM

often Just what to do at critical times, con-
fesses that with food within his reach he
did not see iU when starving. Mr.. Hem
drick moved on with the parting inJunc-
ton: "Mr. Stanley, the next time you
form an exploring party take yankee

NEW USE OF THE DOLLAR.

1T Is Transformed Into Articles of Use
and Ornament.
Manufacturing jewellers have lately
put the silver dollar to use in two novel
designs, says the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat. One is as the bowl Of souvenir
spoon. The circular shape is retained,
and the coin is placed under a heavy
die that pushes the center down until
the whole affair is shaped into shall
low bowl that will hold nearly tea
spoonful. It is then fastened to a
straight silver handle, at the top of
which is an inch-high statuette of Glib
erty Enlightening the World" This is
called the ''New York; spoon, the fit
ness Of it lying, suppose, in the theory
that New York is always chasing the
mighty dollar. don't think the spoon
was designed in New York, however.
The other novel use of the silver dollar
is as a picture-holder. Here is dollar
that is like any other dollar, only that
it is much lighter. By pressing the
thumb nail upon the letter ''E'' in the
word Omitted - the whole face of the
coin inside the milling is made to fly
open, and hollow interior is revealed
wherein small photograph, lock Of
hair or any thing of that sort can be con-
cealed. So fine is the workmanship and
SO skillfully is the spring concealed that
no one, even If he knew that the coin
was hollow, could open it unless told
how. Pressing on the letter will not
open the coin; the letter must be set q
hairs breadth to one side.

AN AFGHAN TRICK.
The Sardar Has Some Fun with Englts
MarkSmeD,

The Sardar Has Some Fun with English
Marksmen.
When Maj. Lumsden was in Afghan
istan, says the Christian Union, the
sardar or kandabar expressed a desire
one day to see the rifle practice of the
English. In the course of the shooting
he saw some sparrows' heads shot off,
and, while expressing great astonish-
ment at the feat, remarked that it was
much more difficult to shoot at a hens
egg and smash it than to knock off any
number of sparrows' heads. The major
and his friends laughed at this nice diff
ference, but the sardar was determined
that his assertion should at once be put
to the test, and accordingly ordered one
of his attendants to fetch an egg and
suspend it against the opposite wall of
the court. This being done, firing was
commenced by the English, and, to
their amazement, after some dozen
shots the egg was unframed. The sar-
dar and his attendants maintained their
gravity, and every moment volunteered
some excuse for the miss, as each bullet
failed to smash the egg. Presently, by
accident, a ball happened to sever the
thread by which it was suspended and
down fell the egg upon the pavement
below, but to the establishment of Maj.
Lumsden and his friends did not smash.
The trick was now apparent, and they
Joined the sardar and his friends in a
hearty laugh at the deception. The
heir apparent had prepared the egg by
having it's contents blown out through
hole at the end. The empty egg shell,
as light as feather, was pushed aside
by the wind of the bullet and could not
be struck.

OF AZTEC MINES.

Interesting Archaeological Discovery Re.
Gently Made n Now Mexico.
"A group Of old Spanish or Aztec mines
as recently been discovered at Las
lacitas, Of this county, about twenty
lies from this city, says an Albuquer-
lie New Mexico) correspondent Of the
. Louis Republic. So many years have
apsed since these mines were worked
at all trace of their history has been
st and the present inha bitants Of the
ountry know absolutely nothing about
uem.
Prospectors recently got on the trail
what they thought was something
God, and by pushing their investiga-
on came upon unmistakable evidences
what were undoubtedly once rich
'orhngs.
A very extensive system of under
round work has now been brought to
.ght. The mineral discovered, while
lot Of the highest grade, is rich enough
to pay handsomely, and runs generally
from $50 to $50 to the ton. The remains
have been found in several places of
what were once furnaces for smelling
the ores. There are also large quanti-
ties of Stag, and in several instances
have been found what were clearly re-
mains of implements used by the work
men.
But what will still be more interest
ing to the general reader is that these
explorations have developed unmistak-
able evidences of the fact that the work
on these mines, which was performed
nobody knows how many centuries
ago, was brought to a summary conclu-
sion by an earthquake or general up
heaval of some sort, for not only are the
mine workings, smelters, furnaces, ETC.,
buried under some fifteen feet of earth,
but there has also been found on the
same level the ruins of what was once
an aqueduct for bringing water to the
camp from source about ten miles dis
tant
The camp of Las Placitas, referred
to, is on the eastern slope Of the Sandia
mountains about twenty miles from AL
buquerque and promises to become one
of the most interesting fields of archeo-
logical research yet discovered in this
