Shorty Smiths Yarn.

Shorty" Smith, the boss pa cker of the Bradshaw mountains, while driving his pack train up the Del Pasco hill had a very excitin 2 ex. perience. Part of the mules were loaded with Frue concentrator. One of the mules, the largest in the train, was loaded with the long side stills of the concentrator, one on each side, and when the train had got half way up the hill and on the steep est part of the trail, the mule with the timbers gave n lurch sideway s and landed about 100 feet down the hill, and lodged suspended in the air between two oak trees about fif- teen feet from the ground.
 How to get the mule down was the next question. But, like all great packers, shorty" was equal to the em ergency. He soon took in the esit- uation, rushed up to one of the mules that had some powder, caps and fuse in it's pack, which he soon fixed so as to explode the powder, and placed it in the hollow end of one o1 the trees. He touched q match to the fuse and yelled, "Get out of the roadl" and when the shot went of and the smoke had cleared away shorty" looked around and saw Old Tom (the mulel with his load all on walking up the hill to the rest of the train not q scratch or him Arizona Miner.

Lake winnipeg Wolves.

In the winter of 1890 deer were unusu-
ally scarce in the forests east of Lake
Winnipeg A wet, cold summer had de-
stroyed an uncommonly large proportion
of fawns. Consequently, wolves were
without their accustomed food supply.
Their distress made them forget their
fear of human beings.
One morning in January news reached
Winnipeg City that band numbering
100 wolves had slain many Indian hunt
ers along the east shore. This turned
out to be true.
Several Of the men were caught on
foot. One climbed a tree and shot
twenty wolves. Another clubbed dozen
to death before they pulled him down.
One hunter mounted a platform erected
on poles for the purpose of keeping skins
above the reach of wild beasts and yer-
min. He had hardly begun firing when
the wolves pressed and leaped about the
posts in such numbers that they threw
down the platform and tore the man to
pieces.
The same band had visited other
camps. How many Indians in all were
devoured could not be exactly ascer-
tanned, as more than one hunting party
was said to have been completely wiped
out.-Youth's Companion.

HOW the r,ramid. were nailt.

A moneyed man, who was looking at
the process of laying an artificial stone
pavement in front of one of his many
properties, startled the friends who were
standing about him by remarking, 81
believe that the Egyptian pyramids were
built in just that way" Pressed for an
explanation, he said that while he had
never been in Egypt he had read the
works of all Egyptologists, including
Brugsch and Piazzi Smyth, and had
never found in any Of them a theory
which would satisfactorily account for
the manner in which the pyramids were
constructed.
Now" he said, "you must remember
that the pyramids are built of stone
which bears no resemblance to anything
found within 500 miles OF their location.
It is incredible that the Egyptians of
four or five thousand years ago should
have possessed the mechanical ingenuity
to move these enormous blocks of stone
from the granite quarries of Abyssinia
or Syria to the pyramids. Isit not much
more natural to suppose that the ancient
Egyptians possessed the secret of max
ing artificial stone, and that the pyra-
mids were constructed by layer upon
layer of Nile river mud, hardened by
just such processes as we employ to
make artificial stone?
sit is a much more plausible explana-
ton of their construction than the la
borious and unintelligent suppositions
that the stones were carried across the
desert TO form the foundation and base
OF the pyramids. firmly believe that
the Egyptians of the ante-Christian era
understood the manufacture of artificial
stone, and that they built the pyramids

WHY Girls Are Tall.

Why are there so many tall girls now
adays, and why's the tendency Of the new
generation toward unusual height and
gracious slimness? Women are tall and
becoming tall simply because it is the
fashion, and that statement never needs
nor is capable of any explanation, Awhile
ago it was the fashion to be petite and
arch; it is now the fashion to be tall and
gracious, and nothing more can be said
about it, OF course the reader, who is
usually inclined to find the facetious side
of any grave topic, has already thought
of the application. Of the self denying
hymn, that man wants little here below,
and wants that little long; but this may
be only passing sigh of the period

IMPRESSION DE MATlN.

The Thames nocturne of blue and gold,
Changed to q harmony in gray;
A barge with ocher colored hay
Dropped from the wharf, and chill and
cold
The yellow fog came creeping down
The bridges, till the houses walls
Were changed to shadows, and st. Paul's
Loomed like q bubble o'er the town.
Then suddenly across the clang
OF waking life, the streets were stirred
With country wagons, and a bird
Flew to the glistening roofs and sang.
But one pale woman, all alone.
The daylight kissing her wan hair,
Loitered beneath the gaslamp's flare,
With lips of fame and heart of stone.

A MastOdon's Tusk.

@. Monier has returned from Hills
boro, where he has been engaged for sew
eral months in opening up several mar
BILE quarries. He and his Santa Fe asso.
ciates have contracts with Philadelphia,
New York and Baltimore parties to take
stated quantity of their marble, a very
superior article, each month. Improved
machinery will be erected at once on
these quarries. While at work there Mr..
Monier discovered a cave at much inter-
est. 1t is entered through an incline of
$50 feet in depth and at the bottom OF
this is an aperture thirty feet in diameter
and seventy feet deep, which opens into
other subterranean passages.
While exploring these lower levels of
the second cavern, Mr.. Monier discover
ed an ivory tusk of mastodon or some
enormous animal that had lived there in
the very earliest ages of the world. The
tusk was partly covered with earth, and
this part is intact and sound, but some
three feet of the ivory crumbled as so
much dust when exposed to the atmos-
phere. The specimen Of this kind which
Mr.. Monier brought home with him is
about two feet in length and has excited
much public curiosity. 1t will be sent to
the Worlds fair.

A Word to Santa Feans,

Corpus Christi, on the gulf coast Of
Texas, is supposed to be con a boom -
and certain it is that real estate is rapidly
changing hands there, people coming
from all over the west to invest in an
ticipation OF the towns steady growth.
In some respects Corpus Christi is much
like Santa Fe; it is an old town, sur
rounded by rich region of county, the
resources of which have never been ap-
preciated until now by the older inhabit-
ants. American enterprise saw these
latent elements of wealth, took hold of
them and is now advertising them be-
fore the world.
On the strength of this advertising
splendid prosperity seems to have come
to Corpus Christi; prosperity that the
old fogy inhabitants seem never to have
dreamed of until they finally, after much
persuasion, agreed tosreduce the price of
one-half their lands and sell them to out
side capitalists. These outside capita
lists came with their money, their i'm
provements and their push, brought 9TH
ers to aid them, and gave plenty of work
to the poorer and middle classes,
while at the same time the men who
sold them really were enabled to
double the value of the property they had
retained. In this respect the old timers
of Corpus Christi are very unlike those of
Santa Fe-here repeated efforts of outside
capitalists to secure property have met
with very little encouragement, and it is
strange, too, considering the many ap-
parent benefits to come out of it as a
positive certainty. Those who own the
land will neither sell nor advertise, and
they haven't the money to improve, so
that on the whole Santa Fe has to suffer
and lag behind in progressive times. Let
t be said, also, in this connection, that
he native Spanish-American citizens are
not the ones to be blamed for this state
If affairs. With the opening of spring it
8 well to consider this matter seriously.

ONE W0MAN'S WORK.

UPS Prison Evangelist-Compli-
mentary to New Mexico.

Mrs. Teats, who has been promoted to
national superintendent of prison work
on behalf of the w. G. T. u, spent
yesterday at the penitentiary and con-
Quoted religious services in the chapel.
She spoke from the pulpit which the con-
victs themselves have recently, in appre-
citation of her services, erected in the
chapel. The pulpit bears; the inscrip-
ton with Joy We Greet You" The
prison choir rendered good music during
the service, the instrumental accompani-
ment being played on the large fine organ
which has been lately presented to that
institution through the efforts of Mrs.
Teats.
This lady is also making splendid prog
ress toward filling up the penitentiary
library, and it was chiefly due to her per-
sistent work that the new law was passed
by the legislative assembly providing for
supplying the convicts with elementary
school books. She is woman of great
zeal whose heart is in her work. In the
annual report of the national w. G. T.
US prison work throughout the United
States appears paragraph very compli-
mentary to this good woman. The re-
port proclaims that the scope and breadth
ofprison evangelical work as conducted
here In the past by Mrs. Teat's, places
New Mexico far in advance Of any other
state or territory in the union.

EASTER DAYS OBSERVANCE.
Special Ceremonies at All the Churches
The Resurrection as Portrayed at
the Church Ofthe Holy Faith.

The celebration of Easter day brought
large attendance out to the churches yes
terday. At the Cathedral and the church
OF Guadalupe there were imposing cere-
monies. Special services and a grand
collection of flowers were also features of
the day at the Presbyterian and Method
list churches, the evening services at the
latter church consisting of Rotations,
songs, ETC., in which the children took a
prominent part.
The service at the church OF the Holy
Faith was of an impressive character.
The church was tastefully decorated with
choice flowers and plants, under the SUI
pervision of Mr.. Boyle. There was a
full attendance, and the music was ex-
cellent. Miss Nellie Gums solo, "Cal-
vary by Paul Rodney, was delightfully."-
rendered, and was fully appreciated by
her listeners. The lady is a graduate of
the Boston Conservatory of music; she
has a sweet, sympathetic, cultivated
voice. The choir Of this church may we'll
boast of such an acquisition.
Rev. Mr.. Glynn preached on the sub
ject of the resurrection. In the course OF
his remarks he stated that there was as
much evidence for the resurrection of
Jesus Christ as there was in proof any
other historical fact that can be men
toned. These are some of the proofs
First, the fact of his having risen is
severally mentioned by the four Evangel-
lists. st. Paul in 1st Corinthians mentions
that He was seen by 500 people all at
once after He rose; and the LIST Epistle to
the Corinthians is accepted by all sceptics
as genuine. Among the 5000 people con-
verted on the day of Pentecost it is rea-
sonable to conclude that among them
were some educated people. Can one
think that they would accept the doctrine
of the resurrection without examining
into it while they had every opportunity
for doing SO? They were on the spot,
ard the Pentecost occurred only fifty
days after the resurrection. Then some
Jewish priests were converted. These
were enlightened men, and would require
proof of the resurrection before they would
embrace Christianity.
Another, and perhaps the strongest
proof OF the resurrection, is the fact that
the apostle, at the cost of all worldly COM
fort, nay, life itself, attested to the fact
After proving the fact of the resurrec-
ton the preacher went on to show what
the resurrection meant in the Christian
religion. 1t was the foundation fact A
Christ who has not risen is not the Christ
OF Christendom. A dead Christ is not a
perfect character. "If Christ be not risen
then is our preaching vain and your faith
is also vain" Then the resurrection
brings hope to the individual. There
must be hope which rests upon something
beyond this world of sense and time.
This is assured in the resurrection of
Jesus Christ, for that is an earnest of our
own resurrection.
