E. d. NELSON and Frederick Founton of the
same Death Valley expedition, have just re-
turned to San Francisco from a two months
trip TO the Grapevine mountains. They
ported having seen a strange trail through the
Saline valley OF a man on horseback. They
say saw the same trail In the Mesquite valley
From the strange wanderings of the horseman
1t was evident that he was either insane from
thirst or trying to elude the naturaliste. The
trail would suddenly emerge from a growth of
brush on an Indian trail, traverse il a few
hundred yards and then leave IL again. The
lone wanderer came on the trail from ons
spring to another, on which he travelled within
few hundred feet of one Of the springs. A
small hole was found in one place where he had
endeavored to get water by digging with
pointed stick.
AN OLD BOY tells these two anecdotes about
Prof Sophocles or ''6ophy." as he was called.
IN the Boston Transcript: "'Sophy had his
favorites whom he would never allow to fail in
recitation cdead' as our college slang of those
days had it, The question up was the dark
color OF the water or a certain river. Why was
. the water darkg says Sophocles. One man
ventured because it was so Deep That is not
right; the next Because of the color of the

THERE has been some talk lately of the first
pie-mAker in California Many an old Cali
| fornia miner who worked in FL Dorado county
in the early f1fties remembers Mrs. Wakefield's
dried apple pies. She came across the plains
and started in almost as soon as she reached
HanRtown, as it was then called, at the bust
ness of pie making. Dried apples were seat
around Cape Horn from New York In clipper
| ships. These she bought in bags and converted
| into pies, baking them IN wide, deep tins. She
was never able to supply the demand, although
| she charged 81 apiece for them. She opened
restaurant, and her favoFite plan was to sell a
| quarter of one of these pies and cup of coffee
| for 81. The early miners were queer cattle.
just as soon as q raw Missourian or a down.
east yankee, who had been raised on corn and
| bacon, began to make money fast there was
nothing good enough for him to eat. He would
buy sardines at So a tin or canned peaches and
other fruit at from So to 50 per can. So Mrs
Wakefield's pies became noted, and when any
miner came down to Hangtown with his gold
dust ne was never satisfied until he had eaten
his fill of her apple pies and carried one or two
| home with him. She cleared several thous-
and dollars in q few month.
EVERY YEAR the success of women in college
life becomes more and more apparent The
latest candidate for favor is Miss Mary Kath-
| crime Montgomery, upon whom the vice chan
| cellor Of London University recently conferred
/ the B. A. degree. She is the daughter of the
| Rev. John K. Montgomery. unitarian minister
! at Chester. She was born at Chester in 1868,
| and was educated at the Liverpool high school
| under Miss Huckwell from 1882 to 1887. when
she passed the London matricuIation exaunina-
| ton. at the first entrance examination of the
| Royal Holloway College of Women she was
| sixteenth on the list of scholarship candi-
dates, and gained the scholarship of $50 year
| for three years offered by Henry Tate, Esq.
| She thus entered the college one of it's first
students and there pursued her studies for a
| London degree with great success. ct the in
| termediate arts examination of the University
| of London, July, 1889, she obtained honors in
French, being second in division 3. In October,
| 1890. when she passed the examination for the
| B. A. degree, she gained first class honors in
French and the university prize, the two candi-
dates who were above her in marks being dis
| qualified by age. Her success is the more note
| worthy as all her knowledge of French has been
| acquired in England under the teaching during
the last three years of Miss Pechinet, herself a
| distinguished London graduate and lecturer In
French in the Royal Holloway College,
