AS a Nan Sees 1t.

The letter Auttered into the sanctum
yesterday. 1t was from man to wom-
an, and he was trying to give her, in his
enthusiastic masculine way, his idea of
the girls of Narragansett Pier and the
costumes they wear. Here is what he
says. Comment is unnecessary:
81 want to tell you that the women
here are the most glorious creatures on
the face of the earth. They go swinging
about in the independent, healthy man
ner you never see except at the seashore
or among the mountains. Say, why are
they always sick in town and ready for
twenty mile tramps when they get out
here?
"Of course you want to know what
they're wearing. They all have dresses
made of flannel or something, with white
shoes, white caps, lots of ribbons and
furbelows flying, and white parascls
with loads of white lace punched all over
the tops. The skirts are cut bias lis that
right?), and there's something round the
bottom that | think you women call a
panel-or perhaps it's hounce. Why
can't women dress like that all the time!
Why don't you speak to 'em about it,

A Curious Ohio Family.

Living near Waynesville is family
named Yeazel, who lately moved there
from Clinton county. Recently the
head of the family entered hardware
store at the first named place and called
for seven hoes. The clerk was astonished,
whereupon the farmer explained that he
had brought but four hoes with him
from Clinton county, and wanted seven
more to keep his sons and himself busy.
He is possessed of eleven children, the
mother and only daughter having six
fingers on each hand, two of the boys
six toes on each foot, and one having
seven toes on one foot. The family cul-
tivates tobacco and is regarded with
much curiosity by the neighbors on ac-
count ofthe extra supply Of fingers and
toes.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

Plowed UP Seventeen Thousand Dollars

PIowed Up Seventeen Thousand Dollars.
A few days ago young farmer named
Edwards, while plowing near Souther-
land Springs, struck an iron pot whose
top projected a half inch above the sur
face. 1t was apparently filed with earth,
but its great weight led to an investiga-
ton. Under an inch of dirt were many
doubloons Of gold, The leather in which
they were wrapped was rotten, but save
for greenish mold the coins were unin-
jured. They were all doubloons. Ed
wards loaded his treasure in wagon,
drove to San Antonio and deposited it in
bank, saying nothing of the find until
his return. The amount is $4,000.
There has long been tradition in
Switzerland Springs neighborhood that
Santa Anna buried treasure there on his
retreat after his defeat at the battle of
San Jacinto in the war of independence,
and various searchers have hunted for
it. The pot was originally sunk Deep
but the rains Of mora than half century
had denuded it of its covering.-Cor.

six yoara IN a Cellar.

A horrible affair has just been discov-
cred at Itegehem, in Belgium. A fam
lily named Vanden Eynde, consisting of
two brothers and a sister, live there on
their own estate. Six years ago there
was another brother, called Louis, who
went away from the village to serve his
time in the army, but although he was
very soon discharged as unfit for mill
tary service, the family always replied
to questions about him, saying that he
was still a soldier.
Lately, however, mysterious reporst
were spread, and recently the family
were surprised by the appearance of the
burgomaster, accompanied by several
other officials and doctor In spite of
protests, they searched the premises,
and when they opened one Of the cellars
horrible sight met their eyes. Cover
ing in corner, on filthy heap of straw,
was the lost brother, who looked more
like wild animal than man.
A continual idiotic laugh was the only
sign of life he gave, for he was not capa-
Bile of making any movement of his own
accord. Even his head staid in what
ever position it was turned by the doc
tor who examined him. His unnatural
family confessed that when he returned
from his regiment he was slightly mad,
and to save the expense of putting him
into lunatic asylum they had tied him
up in the cellar, where he had remained
for six years. The brothers and sister
were arrested, and the imbecile was re-
moved to an Acknowledgment Mes

Games Forbidden on Sunday only.

There is q suspicion, doubtless I'M
founded, that those whose word is law
at the Desplaines camp meeting are NOV
ing backward in their course with re-
gard to the rules denying nearly all secu-
lar amusements to young people. The
directors explain that they have no OBJ
lection to croquet, tennis and sitting in
hammocks on any day except Sunday,
and the rules prohibiting these pleasures
apply to that day only To many Meth
odists it will appear ominous that any
rules were necessary forbidding youth
full Methodists to play games on the Sab
bath.-Miwaukee Sentinel.

CURIOUS TWEL We MILE RAILROA D.

In railroad circles there is consider
able interest manifested in the re-
ported sale of the famous Rainbow"
route of Otto Mears. The report
serves to draw attention to what is
undoubtedly one of the most unique
lines of railroad in the world, SAYS
the Leadville Herald-Democrat. The
road is not more than - miles in
length, extending from Silverton to
IrontOn, but as a, marvellous result
Of engineering skill, deserves to rank
as one OF the wonders of the world
No one was quite so near heaven on
a railroad as when travelling in one
of Mears' baby" passenger cars.
The trip from Silverton to Ironton
leaves a vivid impression on the mind
of the tourist. 1t skirts the edge of
the unfathomable abysses, winds
over mountain peaks, through re-
giOns of eternal snow, leaps cata-
racts, spans gorges, iand finally bumps
right into the solid wall of the granite
mountain. How this obstruction is
overcome is not at first apparent,
but by the aid of complicated set
of turntables, engines and cars are
turned around and sail merrilv down
hill to their destination.
