NINE DAYS INA WBLL.-J,hn Winters,
driver Of the stage line between Eaglewcod,
Kao., and Bsaver City, No Mans Land. re-
porta the rescue OF q cowboy named Hard
ing, who for nine days had been 3 psieoner
In the bottom Of an old we'll, which waa for
tuuately dry. Harding, 1t eeems. had beeu
sent in search of stray cattle, end was cam
tering along when his pony stopped sudden.
IL on the edge OF the hidden we'll and threw
his rider. Before he could recover himself
Harding was overheard and fell distance
Of 80 feet, landing on lot OF brush and mud
which had accumulated at the bottom of the
mole. There was no wsy OF escaping, and
starvation seemed only question OF time.
For fye days harding had nothing 10 eat,
but on the sixth day wolves found him ont
and, watching his opportunity, he caught
one stretched sufficiently far over the edge
OF the wall aud brought 1t down with bull
let through it's head. On this meat Hard
ing subsisted for the succeeding three days,
when his cries attracted the attention of q
s sge driver who passed that way three
times a month. The rescued man, while be
has lucid moments, will probably spend the
balance of his life In an insane asylum.

The Tunnel at Niagara.

To tus through 1000 feet of solid rock
which has hsld back the torrents tf tbs Nj.
egara river, Is the task that the Cataract
Construction Company has undertaken.
Last week total advance of 262 feet was
made, bringing the total excavation up to
.733 feet ia IS months. Ttis Eeeves only
967 foet to complete the work es originally
in ended, but In ell probability 900 feet
oore will be exosvoted, bringing the totsl
leDkth OF The tuprel up to an even Z eco
feet.
This not the first attempt to utl!zo the
power of Niagara falls. The early French
rettlers built mil beside the rapids. juet
sbove the Eslls In colonial times the Brit
ah pm. up q saw mill there tnd used il 70
cut !imbers for their Notifications. Later
the S>edman end Porter mills were built,
and still later two raceWssB were built, SUP
plying power to numerous factories.
Abous forty years ago the Hydraulic Ca.
nal Company cut channel through the
rock about three-quarte.s OF mile long
from the river bank above the fsIls to a
point on the deep gorge below. Standing
on the Suspension bridge. just below tie
falls, the visitor sees on the American side
a eoore or more OF miniature catareo'e, the
water In some cases dsshirg over tbs brink
of the cliff ard Ia others pouring With ter
rife force from holes cut In the rock. They
ere fed by the hydraulic canal, and before
the water dssbes over the preoip!ce 1t does
its work In the mills that lire the bank.
The hydraulic canal wss white elephant.
Il was expensive work, aad IL vas finally
sold to safety mortgage some three years
ago. 1t is 100 feet vide nearly mile long,
snd its estimated force Ia ITO 600 horse
power.
All that, however, ls only drop in the
bucket to what toe immense water power
hurled over the cataract daily 1. capable of,
and capitalists have studied ways and means
to avail themselves of Its possibilities. FL
nslly, the present gigantic work was con-
crived. II was determined to run tunnel
from the surface Of the water below the
Fals to point on the river bank above.
The tunnel is really only waste weir fer
the wste which will be drawn from the river
through short surface canals, wteel pits,
and cross tunnels, and af:er performing it's
service for man will pour out through the
tunnel into the river again, having msrely
been diverted from itB course temporarily.
The tunnel has three sections. Shaft was
sunk directly opposite the New York Gen.

tie men began forcing their way eastwsrd
and westWsrd through solid rock With drills.

ebout half mile to the eastward, and there
the tunDelling was pushed both Waye. 81
multaneously great rent was made 10 the
face Of the cliffs In deep gorge just below
the new suspension bridge. Ga an average
400 pounds OF dynamite arc used every
Day, OF car load every slxteen days.

Gladiatorial games were prohibited
by an edict OF the Emperor Constantine
in y. D. 325, but from some cause,
probably the loudly expressed disap-
probation of the people, the edict was
allowed to fall into disuse, and its pen
alties were never visited on its violators.
During the reign of Honorius the defeat
of the Cloths in Italy was celebrated by
games, but in the midst of the fights in
the aInphitheater of Vespasian a monk
named Telemachus found his way into
the arena and parted the combatants
with largGprocessional cross.
The pophface swarned over the bar
ricades and tore the monk to pieces,
but the moral effect of the heroic act
was permanent, and in \. D. 404 an
imperial edict abolished gladiatorial
sports in the Coliseum, and shortly
after throughout the Roman empire.
The fight stopped by Telemachus was
the last in the Coliseum, and that struct-
ure is now consecrated to the honor of
Telemachus and the Christian martyrs
who persisted in the prosecutions by
Nero and other emperors.-St Louis

Marriage Made EASY

! A number of ladies and gentlemen
were assembled at dinner to celebrate
friends wedding. After the banquet,
a young barrister got up to propose a
matrimonial scheme, which was at
once adopted. A president was elected
who was pledged to eternal secrecy by
solen oath. All unmarried persons
of either sex wrote each on a piece of
paper his own name and that of the
person whom he desired to marry.
Tie papers were handed to the presi-
dent, a man of mature age, married
and grave rs became his Office. 1t was
his duty to acquaint the two parties
who had mutually selected each other.
Result: eleven couples thus had the
opportunity of confessing their feelings
TO one another for the first time, and a
month later eight weddings came off.
The Others followed in a short time.
Eccentric, but the end justifes the
means.-Le Monde Picturesque.

TWO WAYS TO LIVE ON EARTH.

There are two ways to live on earth;
Two ways to judge, to act, to view;
For ali things here have double birth
A right, a wrong; false, a true.
Give me the home where kindness seeks
To make that sweet which seemeth small;
Where every lip in fondness speaks,
And eTery mind hath care for all;
Whose inmates live in glad exchange
OF pleasures, free from vain expense;
Whose lives beyond their means ne'er range
Nor wise denials give offense:
Who in a neighbours fortune find
No wish, no impulse to complain;
Who feel not-never felt-the mind
To envy yet anOther's gain!
Who dream not of the moclling tic;
Ambitions fOiled endeavor meets
The bitter pangs of wounded pride,
Nor fallen power that shuns the streets.
Though Fate deny its glitt'ring store,
Loves wealth is still the wealth to choose:
for all that gold can purchase more
Are Gauds-it is no loss 20 luseI
Some beings, wheresoe'er they go,
Find naught to please or to exaIt;
Their constant study but to show
Perpetual modes of finding fault.
While others, in the ceaseless round
Of daily wants and daily care,
Can yet Gull flowers from common ern.;ad,
And twice enjoy the joy they share.
Oh, happy they who happy make!
Who, blessing, still themselves are blestl
Who something spare for others sake,
And strive, in all things, for the best!
