The melting snow caused quite a
large body of water in that part of
Second street between the Methodist
church and the residence of Mr.. Bout
we'll. the cause of this being that in
constl ucting the sidewalk last spring
il was necessary to grade up the sur
face, thus cutting of the usual flow
upO'n the garden of Mr.. Perley
Knowles. This fact shows the necessity
of properly grading second street, at
least from Maple street to the line of
Greenwood addition, it having been
for many years mud hole in spring
a nd unsightly throughout the year.
"Ihe owners of lots along the line of
the street would welcome such an i'm.
provement and it would add materially
TO the looks of the city and the value
of property on that otherwise at
,tractive street.

Chinese Love CT Animals.

The Chinese never punish an animal;
hence mule that in the hands of a
foreigner would not only be useless,
but dangerous to everyone about it, be-
comes in the possession of Chinaman
as quiet as lamb and as tractable as a
dog. We never beheld runaway, a
jibbing or vicious mule or pony in a
Chinaman's employment; but found the
same rafting, cheerful pace main
tanned over heavy or light roads, by
means of ''tur-r" or ''cluck-k," the
beat turning to the right or left and
stopping with but q hint from the reins.
This treatment is extended to all the
animals they press into their service.
Often have admired the tact exhibited
in getting u large drove of sheep
through narrow, crowded streets and
alleys, by merely having little boy to
lead one of the quietest of the flock in
front, the others steadily followed with
out the aid of cruel goad. Cattle,
pigs and birds are equally cared for.

HAVE WE DIAMOND MINEs2
A Scientist Thinks That They May Be
Fonnd in Arizona.

A Scientist Thinks That They May Be
Found in Arizona.
Prof. G. E. Foote, in paper read be-
fore meeting of scientific societies in
Washington, spoke of geological for
nation that gave rise to some very in
teresting suggestions. His thesis was
based upon the claim that in collec-
ton of very remarkable specimens Of
meteoric iron found on the side of Crater
mountain, Arizona, he had discovered
diamonds.
Crater mountain rises abruptly 432
feet above the surrounding plain. The
walls of the so-called crater, which are
very steep, are formed of sandstone and
limestone, and are lifted at an angle of
forty degrees. But as no lava or other
volcanic products are found, the hollow
cannot be considered true crater. AS
this depression is of similar character
to that from which the diamonds at
Kimberly, South America, are dug,
why should not diamonds abound in
Arizona, New Mexico and Mexico,
which are the richest regions for me-
teoric iron in the world? asks the Jew
elers' Circular.
Prof. Foote's theories are among the
soundest advanced in the sea of specu-
lation on the production of diamonds of
the past decade. But as the conclusions
of science are often too premature and
too positive, the letter of the learned
gentleman's proposition must not be
accepted without the proof derived from
thorough investigation.

Queer Maryland surnames.

The eastern shore of Maryland has
been so little disturbed by immigration
that the region numbers comparatively
few surnames, so that at various times
it has been necessary to resort to odd
but very ancient devices to distinguish
between men bearing the same name.
The commonest device is the patronym-
ic by which of two men bearing ex-
actly the same Christian and family
name one is distinguished from the
other by the addition ''of William" "of
Thomas or ''of john" as the case may
be, the meaning of the phrase being
"son of William, Thomas or John. u
Another device once commonly en-
ployed was to couple with the name an
adjective to indicate some physical pc,
culiarity, as "long" to indicate a tall
man, "black' to indicate dark man OF
'red" to indicate a ruddy man. Occa-
sionally the distinguishing word is I'm,
complimentary. Devil" is not an un.
usual prefix to the Christian or surname
of a man having reputation for vice
or recklessness. A man bearing one OF
the best known names in Maryland car
ries to the grave this prefix.

How a Typewriter Broke 1t Over the

How a Typewriter Broke 1t Over the
Head of an Inconstant Lawyer.
There is dearth of typewriters in
Vancouver. An order for dozen ar
rived here recently and was promptly
filed. A burly lawyer, famous for his
admiration of the fair Sex, was shocked
one day by the reception of a note from
a blonde angel who worked the types
in his office, stating that circumstances
over which she had no control compelled
her to resign her posi- ton. Vancouver
wanted her and she had to go. There
upon the attorney decided that ere they
parted little wine dinner wou Id not
break him, says the San Francisco
Newsletter. So he babe her to the
feast, forgetting that he had made
similar engagement at the same hour
and place with the typewriter of a
learned brother of the law.
The latter beauty was ola Jealous dis
position, and when she recognized the
voice of her false friend in the adjoin-
ing room at the restaurant, promptly
decided upon the best thing to be done.
1t consisted simply of smashing a bot
tie of tomato catsup on the lawyers ex-
pansive head so good and hard flat the
stuff ran all over his face, and he, see
ing the ruby mess, yelled for a doctor,
and declared that his skull was frac-
tured and his brains were oozing out.
The other lady put out for Vancouver,
and the original charmer ate the din
ncr which was prepared for her rival.

Years ago DIR Pierce found out that
the secret of all scrofula, bronchial,

ginning at least-in impure blood and
the weak tone of the system; that the
way to cure these effects was to remove
the cause, that human nature being the
same, the same results might be looked
for in nearly all cases. So confident
was he that the exceptions were uncom-

medicine to those it didn't benefit for

AsToR AND .MARoUETTE.
These Two Names Are Household Words
ON the Island of Mackinac.

These TWO Names Are housenoIo WORDS
on the Island of Mackinac.
One of the most important points of
interest Mackinac offers to the stranger
is the headquarters of the old American
Fur Company, built by John Jacob
Astor in 1909, writes Marquis LAMA in
Frank Leslie's Monthly. The house, a
long, rambling establishment with
dingy, low-ceilinged corridors and an
exterior continually fresh from the
barbarous brush of the calciminer, is
employed now as dwelling. Within
these rooms the nucleus of the Aston
millions was formed and gradually as
sumed colossal proportions; and the
name of John Jacob is as familiar a
household word on the island as that of
Father Marquette.
Jacques Marquette, a French Jesuit
priest and the renowned explorer of the
Mississippi, was undoubtedly the first
white man to visit the island, where he
started an Indian mission. The precise
location of his chapel is not known, but
there is reason to believe that it stood
in close proximity to the Huron fort or
palisaded village, built in 1872 and later
destroyed by fire. The grave of Father
Marquette was unknown until the
year 1877, when it was discovered in st.
1gnace by Rev. Father JaclSer, Catho-
lie priest.
Despite the fact that more than two
hundred years have elapsed since the
death of Marquette, the village of
Mackinac is replete with hallowed
memories of him. His name is always
spoken with a reverential admiration.
To these simple people he stands in the
light of hero, representing all that is
lofty in character and all that is brave
and exalted in discipline. He will re-
main forever to them silent example
of generous self-sacrifice and volun-
tary hardship in the interest of a noble

Oyster Dredging at an End.

BR1DGEPoRT Conn, Nov. 23.-The
oyster dredging season is probably at an
end for many months to come The
recent terrific storm is responsible for
it, and the aggregate loss will probably
amount to several hundred thousand
dollars. Generally the season ends with
some storm which disturbs the mud in
the bottom of the Sound and smothers
the oysters. This year this was delayed
until the water was thoroughly chilled
and it is feared the oysters have been
killed. If this proves to be true no
oysters can be gathered until next
springs spawn natures which will not
be before the middle of July, even under
the most favorable conditions

COLONEL A. K. MCCLURE has been
giving attention to the possibilities and
probabilities of 1899, and finds that out
of the IA votes in the electoral college
the democrats can depend surely on 2O4,
while the republicans will, with equal
certainty, have 1877. There are ten
doubtful states, with 1t3 votes, and any
reasonable assignment of those doubt
full states makes democratic success
quite probable, as the colonel now sees
it. He wisely concludes, however, that
the swift mutations of political tides in
this country make predictions year in
advance of the elections a business of
considerable hazard.

IT appears that the Indiana "dog
diet" remedy is not a novelty, but was
in use in the state forty years ago, when
Dan Pritchard, of Indianapolis, was
cured of consumption by eating the
fried fat of pug dogs. Still no one
really expected that anything under
the sun was to be discovered in the way
of diet. Perhaps when the ancients
swore 'by the dog" they had reference
to the juciness of canine steaks.

tions for his journey on the Russo-Ger-
man frontier were extraordinary. Both
sides of the railway track were occupied
by soldiers scarcely ten yards distant
from one another, and sent from great
distances. Special preparations were
taken for guarding the bridges, cut
tings, crossings and woods. Houses
and farms near the railway had to be lit
up during the night, and during the last
twenty-four hours nobody was allowed
to enter or leave them without permits
sion. Officers were continually rushing
up and down to see that proper
measures had been taken, and besides
all these there were the secret police.
If the truth were told pin could not
have fallen to the ground unseen. For
days the inhabitants remained quietly
in their huts, and many a one dared
scarcely step outside his door. The
guards stood continually on the same
spot, and were without food or drink
from six to ten hours, being relieved as
seldom as possible.
