CURB AND CORRIDOR,
A Western Miners Crazy Daring-No Eyes
Beautiful to the Oculist-Brides and
Bridegrooms From Abroad-The Gossip

A Western Miners Crazy Daring-No Eyes
Beautiful to the Oculist-Brides and
Bridegrooms From Abroad-The Gossip
of Day in Town.
"THE carelessness of miners was very for
chilly illustrated for me few years ago."
said J. A. Duncan, of st. Paul. to me yester-
day in the Duquesne Hotel. 81 was looking
after some mining interests of q Chicago
friend in Boulder county, Colorado, at the
time speak Of and had occasion to stay
one night in a small mining village. We
found quarters for the night in the village
store, or rather the storekeeper's rooms at
the back of it. He was a man, by the way,
worth anywhere from $4,000 to 500 900 but
quite content to sleep in rough, frame
shanty in that out of the way place-0
miles from Denver. We turned in pretty
early, for we were tired, and it was pierre
ingly cold night-the thermometer 15o or
more below zero. i and my companion had
q bed assigned to me in the sleeping room
common to us all, and 1 found it hard to
court sleep with a mattress beneath me that
boasted one spring only, and cantanker-
GUS one at that. My tossing and tumbling
attracted the attention of our host and he
asked me If anything allied me, and when
replied as courteously as knew how in the
sharing the bed with another made me rest
less, he very kindly offered to exchange
berths with me and give me his bunk.
To get away from that abominable
spring / accepted the Offer The bunk
was of extra hard boards l found, over
which nothing more than folded blanket
had been laid, and was having repetition
of my experience in the bed when tre-
mendous crash, followed by the shivering of
the glass in the windows, and consequently
q rush of icy cold air, brought us all on the
floor in hurry. Nobody knew what had
happened, there was no use going out to in
shut out the air was our first endeavor We
tains, but enough air got in to make the
neighborhood of the kitchen fire the most
desirable place in the house, and there we
sat for the remainder of the night.
"Next day we learned that a mine supertn-
tendent had been married the night before,
and as the woman was his third wife and
had been married more or less herself be-
fore, the boys had thought it only right to
give them q 'Shivaree,' during which some
daredevil of q miner had exploded a couple
of sticks of giant powder. When we learned
this and that seven or eight hundred pounds
of blasting powder were stored in the town,
and right handy to where we had passed the
night, we were thankful we lived. The con-
cussion might have exploded the powder,
and if it had the whole place would have
been wiped off the map. Even the residents.
accustomed to miners vagaries, were little
put out at this foolhardy feat, and offered
reward of 5000 for the miner who had ex-
ploded the powder"

Pity the Poor Oculist!

AN 1mpreSSlonable youth was rhapS0d1Z-
ing over the beautiful eyes of a woman he
had seen in the presence of one of the most
eminent oculists in the CITY, and concluded
with the expression of his opinion that moth
ing in the world could compare with a
woman's eyes, The surgeon smiled and re-
marked. II envy you your enthusiasm. l
once thought as you do, that pretty pair of
eyes was about as pleasant a sight as q man
could see. That was before 1 made specf-
atty of the surgery of the eyes. 1 am sorry
to say never look at anybody's eyes with
out consciously OF unconsciously searching
for traces of disease. don't mean the eyes
of my patients merely. OF course, they come
before me for examination, and It is q mat
ter of pride as well as business with me then
to spy out the defects and do what can to
remove them But the embarrassing thing
is'that Tcannot stop there, but wherever l
go and whenever look into the orbs of
fellow-being, be they the lack-luster organs
of an old man or the flashing eyes of young
beauty, search for imperfections, and gen.
orally find them. The iris of sweet II may
rival heavens blue dome for color, and be-
meath long lashes fit for Cupid's nets-but
pshawi what comfort is it to ME when l can
discern a tendency there to trichidsiss
"'What wonderfully large eyes, Miss
has, a lady remarked to me the other day,
and when 1 saw the 'ox-eyed Juno shortly
afterward, the first thing that struck me
was that the unusual dilation of the pupil
betokened the approach of dnlnlrosis, dam
gerous, nervous disease of the eye. Occa-
sionally l encounter eyes that have no flaw,
no secret sign of trouble to come, but when
do, it is the phenomenal sanity of the organ
rather than its beauty that ifnpresses me.
For the most part it is procession of more
or less diseased eyes that pass before me in
and without the consulting room; here in
f1ammation clearly indicates OpthdLnnid tdrSi;
here the upper eyelid shows disposition to
droop, a forerunner of ptosiS; there the lach-
ryma1 ducts are evidently obstructed, caus-
ing undue waterineSS of the eve, and so on
with countless varieties of symptoms, which
have made my life study. How can enjoy
the brightness of blue eyes, or the warmth
of brown? What encouragement is there for
brow, when my own eyes tell me that some
day 1 shall have to treat her for ntyopid?
You see some of the drawbacks of being an
oculist."

are also made upward into the law. The

recently drawn or whether it has been healed

FARMER CLENTIN's FIND.
A Skeleton and Watch of Probably Historic
Value Unearthed.
New York World. ]


New York World.l
An interesting discovery recently made
seems to indicate that Washington was first
visited by white people many years earlier
than it has been supposed. r. NJ. Clentin, a
farmer of Matwaba, Wash, unearthed the
skeleton of a man about six feet in height
who was undoubtedly some adventurous ex-
plorer, the formation of the skull and feet
showing clearly that it is not that of an
Indian.
Under the skeleton was watch of antique
pattern. 1t has only one hand on the face
and in the back is sun-dial. Attached to
the ring, which is opposite the figure 8, is the
small figure of a child carved in stone. On
the outside of the back of the case are the
words "Exeunt omnes'' and O word COM
mencing with "mas," the rest of the word
being obliterated. On the inside of the case,
opposite the sun-dial, is the name "Logardez
Mensin" and the figures 1871.
The watch will probably be forwarded to
some Eastern museum.

AN IMPORTANT INVENTION.
Four Miners Contrive New Safety Lamp
Superior to the Davy.

UN1oNTowN, PA, June 12.-Four experinced
miners, of Morrell, have invented and ap-
piled for patent for new safety mining
lamp that is said to be even better than
any now in use. There are two principal
claims made for it over the old Davy ls1np.
One is that it cannot be opened for the pur
pose of allowing miners to take light for
their pipes, as this is conceded to be one of
the many causes of mine explosions,
usually called cause unknown"
Another superior quality of the lamp is
that it will discover gas u! inches thick on
the mine roof, Will other lamps will only
show gas when it is much thicker.
