Several small battles were fought here,

molested and devastated as southwest

knowing these facts, it was very natu-
raj for the people { % believe that they
had found the grave of one Of Clark's
OF Grants soldiers, or that Of some
wandering guerrilla. As the workman
proceeded with his labor he threw up a
steel breastplate and helmet. These
were almost eaten up with rust, and
through the holes of the helmet could
be seen the gray bones of a fast decay
ing skull. In order TO gain some in
formation concerning this strange dis
covery the handle and scabbard of the
sword were cleaned.
The sword itself was rusted to the
Aabbard and could not be drawn. The
shield on the handle and tie scabbard
were made Of a strange composition
that rust had but little effect upon, and
they seemed but slightly injured by
time. The handle of the sword is of
pure gold, at the top of which is a large
diamond clustered around with rubies-

which consists of a spring oozing out Of
a hillside, and close by the spring a
child. Underneath this is the inscrip

Youth" The engraving is remarkably
well done.
These few bones and implements of
war are no doubt all that remains of
the great De Soto, who, believing that
somewhere in the New World was a
spring which bestowed on any one who
bathed in its crystal waters perpetual
youth. gave up wealth and luxury to
undergo the hardships of a wild and
unknown country, and at last died in
discouragement and defeat. History

Iron E1iraeted from Sea sand.

1t may not be generally known that
sea sand contains from ) to : per cent.
of iron. Under ordinary conditions it
would not pay, perhaps, to try 70 ex-
tract it, but a company now steps into
the breach with electro machinery, so
70 speak, and claims that the iron can
be extracted al a profit. The separator
consists Of a cylinder. whose surface is
composed Of electro magnets, revolving
on the inside Of an endless n W belt.
The sand is fed 10 the belt. Aspray Of
water separates the particles, the iron
being retained by the action of the
powerful electro magnets and carried

other end.-New York Telegram.

Wages in the Georgia mills seem low
when judged by northern standards,
vet when the cost Of living and the
surroundings and the efficiency of the
operatives are taken into account, pay
is relatively as high as where a more
complex civilization has created artifi-
cial wants. The interdependence in
the south between corporation and em-
ployes is rare in New England factory
villages. The names, residence, cir
cumstances, needs, failings or virtues
are here well known 10 the officials;
in time of trouble or suspension of
work money is freely advanced, and by
an unwritten code of human feeling
long illness or other disability often
brings the regular weekly pay.
Not only are relations friendly
and intimate than at the north, but there
is conspicuous freedom from the spirit of
drive and despotism. Even New Eng
land superintendent and Overseers in
these southern mills soon glide into the
prevailing laissez-faire or else leave in
despair, though admitting that the
cracker might be trained TO the high
est efficiency.-Century

Convolutions of the Brain.

The convolutions of the brain, not it's size, are the measure of intellectual power, said Prof. Otis T. Mason, of New York the other day. Taking up pencil and sheet of paper he added: Here IS rough out line of the Island of Manhattan as the white men found it originally. You could not moor so many vessels along it's few miles of shore-line. Now, this is the out line of the island as it Is at present, all fringed with long wharves projecting out ward into the rivers, at which an unlim- ited number of ships can find room for their accommodation.
 In the original outline you see @ figure that may represent the brain that does little thinking. But observe, when run my pencil point in and out, in and out be- tween the wharves which mans ingenuity has devised and built, how am tracing the convolutions of his wonderful cerebral hemispheres. What commerce is to New York the blood is to the brain, and the more complicated the convulsions the greater surface for the vessels through which the blood travels and the more elaborate the intellectual resources.

An Indian,s Haunted Grave.

On the shore of Oneida Lake is an h. dians grave where, at times, light makes Its appearance. It is described as ball of fire about the size of a large orange, and sways to and fro in the air about twenty feet from the ground, confining it's irregu- lar movements within a space about 100 feet square. People have attempted to go near enough to solve the mystery, but 1t would suddenly disappear before they could reach it.
 A very peculiar story is told by the neighbors near the spot. They claim that many years ago the locality was part of an Indian reservation. A man of the name of Belknap frequently dreamed that there was crock in the Indian cemetery con- taining immense treasures, and that if he was there at the hour when graveyards yawned he could secure it. These dreams were repeated so often they had strong effect, and he went there with pick and shovel, according to instructions, but he failed to turn round three times when he found the crock, as the dream directed. He stopped to pick it up, but was stunned by a flash of lightning, and the crock disap- peared. Since that time the spot has been haunted by the mysterious Hght.-Oneida Mail

How a Town Was Named.

"The town of Auburndale, Wis, received It's name in a peculiar manner" said 8 Milwaukee drummer. Years ago when that section was comparatively undevel- oped and land was cheap a man named King located there and built mill. The place had good shipping facilities and the mill soon became the nucleus of quite a thriving. bustling little town. Then arose the question of a name for the embryo city and by common consent the right of naming 1t was conceded to the first set- tier, MT. King. The citizens wanted to call the place Kings Mills, but the old gentleman objected. He said he didn't want his name tackled onto any one-horse or two-horse village. Now the old man was the happy father of seven bouncing daughters and the villagers suggested that the name of one of them should be given to the new town. This idea pleased the father as much as it pleased the seven daughters, but which one of the seven fair ones should be honored above her six sis- ters? The town could not be handicapped with all the seven names. Finally happy thought struck the old man. Every one of his seven daughters was red-headed. He decided to honor them all by christen- ing the town Auburndale and Auburndale 1t remains to this day"

IF Allan Foote will carry out his plan of organizing a society composed ex- clusively of union veterans who served i'll the civil war, whose purpose it shall be to secure a reform of existing abuses in the pensien laws and their admins tration, he will deserve we'll of the re- public. Mir Foote is reported as believ- ing that one-third of those who receive the benefits of the pension law are en- titled to them, and that another third, while technically entitled to them, do not need them, and are consequently an unnecessary burden imposed upon the productive labor of the country. MT Foote has undertaken a gigantic task, and probably thankless one, but it is one which must soon be begun if any shred of respect for the veterans of the civil war is to be preserved, Every dol lar paid in pensions above S50, 0,000,OCC per annum is a cheat and an imposition upon the taxpayers, and it is also a dis, credit to the soldiers who battled foI principle and not for pelf. No more patriotic service can be rendered just now than that which would be rendered by Mir Foote and the society he proposes to organize, if it addressed itself aggres ively and effectively to the work pro DOSed

Never Speaks to His Wife.

In the northwestern part of the city live B couple who for twenty-five years never addressed a word to each other. In 1869 the husband was man of means, owning considerable property. but through pecu- liarities more than generosity he became 8 sort of "Coal Oil Johnny" Houses and ground were given away without an in- stant's consideration The wife expostu- lated, but in vain. Finally nothing was left except the little cottage which was then and is now their place of abode. For tunately this stood in the wifes name, and though he used every effort to secure pos session of it, pleading with her and using violence and tenderness by turns, she re- mained firm and would not let him have dous oath that he would never speak to her as long as he lived, and up to the pres ent time he has kept his word. From pros perity they have sunk to abject poverty. He makes what he can out of 8 news stand which he keeps. The old couple have two children, both daughters. One has been married for some years to man of wealth, while the other lives at home with her parents and seems to take the respon- sibility of both on herself. It is painful sight to see the old man every evening at six o'clock distributing his papers to the very houses which twenty-two years ago were his own, and by the gift of which he has made neat little fortunes for many whose heirs are in total ignorance of his existence. Year after year he tolls on, daily becoming feebler, forgetting the world and by the world forgot" t."-Phila- delphia Record.

She Sends a Detective from England to
 Find Her Wayward Daughter.
 BOSTON, July 10. A young man ac- companied by detective from Scotland Yard called at Police Headquarters and asked for assistance in searching for Maud Eastbrook, an English girl, who ran away from her home in Leeds and had been heard from in this city. The young man is the girls oldest brother
 Miss Eastbrook is 21 years of age and was the daughter of Thos. F. Ea>tbrook, a wealthy manufacturer of cutlery at Leeds, now dead While studying music in Vienna she formed a liason with Arthur Van Wart, married attache of the Eng g- fish legation. The pair left Bordeaux for America in 1890, but on the voyage in fiji of remorse, Van Wart committed suicide by jumping overheard.
 On arriving in this country the young woman attempted to earn a liv ing by teaching music. in a small New Jersey town. She there fell in with a commercial traveller, 8 married man of Portland, Me-, who de serted her in Boston, leaving her penni- less.
 It is stated that she entered upon 2 dissolute life. She wrote to her father for aid, but he disowned her; her mother however, sent her money and is now endeavoring to reclaim the daughter whose whereabouts at present are un- unknown

Heap Good Indian.

"I have vivid remembrance of the old Ute chief, Colorow, whose connection with the Meeker massacre somehow failed to bring his neck inside the halter" said Pittsburg woman, who has comfortable habit of spending month or two in Colo rado every summer, to Dispatch report CT. A party of us had gone up in the Pines, not far from Glenwood Springs, the two men to hunt and fish and three of us women to cook the game and enjoy the glorious climate and scenery. The second morning out I was left alone in the tent preparing breakfast, the others having gone down the creek piece to get some trout if possible Suddenly a shadow fell across the entrance of the tent, and, look | Ing up, saw dirty and diSheveled h. dian looking at me. My blood did not run cold, but I confess let a pot of coffee fall. The Indian did not advance, but said, | "HowP" knew enough to answer "How?' Still standing on the threshold, the h. dian said that he was heap good Indian,' and wanted some sugar. con- sidered it best to give him some. Then he repeated he was heap good Indian and wanted some tobacco. 1didn't know where the tobacco was, and said so. This dis pleased my disagreeable visitor, and in broken English he plainly insinuated that told an untruth-in fact, he wound up by saying flatly: You lie.' As he said this and I was getting very nervous by this time-a welcome voice rang out with: You d-d old scroundrel, what are you up to?. and our guide, veteran mountaineer and crack shot, came between me and MT. Colorow, for it was the old chief himself. Colorow shuffled off backward, spreading his hands and muttering: Heap good Indian-heap good shot! as he retired. Our guide did not mince matters with Colorow, whom he told to git and git mighty sudden or he'd put a bullet where 1t would interfere with his rascally heart. When Colorow had disappeared think tainted. but I guess I was lucky to escape as easily as I did, for Colorow has fine reputation as a murderer at retail or wholesale" e."-Pittsburg Dispatch.

What Chile Has to Sell.

Mining is reckoned as Chlles most i'm portant industry, and agriculture next. Among the articles of export, wheat and flour figure prominently; also barley, po- tatoes, corn, wool, hides, dried and saited beef, honey, beeswax, beans, hay, butter and cheese. Most of these, however, go no farther than Bolivia and Peru, the coun- tries immediately to the northward. Chilean wines are also highly esteemed. and have not only a very large consump- tion at home, but millions of gallons are annually exported.
 In South America, as in Europe, every body drinks wine, and water on the dinner table would be considered such a mark of barbarian that even Terra del Fuegoan would not indulge in 1t if he became sufi- ciently civilized to own table. Yet there is little drunkenness here, and what there is is mostly among foreigners who have learned whisky-guzzling at home, and los pobres who are obliged to confine them- selves to chicha. The latter beverage in Chile is not all like the corn-chicha of the northern countries, this being a sort of raw cider distilled from the grape.
