LIFE IN THE MINES.
Fascination About It Not Easily Shaken
 or


 There is fascination about mining life which, once having possessed a man, cannot easily be shaken off. A miner who has made good stake by selling his locations at first proposes to himself to travel, than to settle down in his own original home; but after a little while he discovers that he himself has changed, that old ties have been broken, and that he is disappointed in his for mer associations. Things at home seem to have inexplicably dwindled. An d. most irresistible impulse, transferred nostalgia, a longing for the clear, bracing mountain air and the liberal ways of the mines then seizes him, says a writer in the Engineering Magazine. 1t is difficult to content ones self with the monotonous life Of the st2ider com munities after having tasted more ex- hilarating one.
 The attraction of the mines is not all in the hope of gain, though that of course has much to do with it. The friendships formed, the freedom of thought and custom, the spirit of cam araderie, and the entire absence of com mercial competition have their in1iu- ence as well. So numbers of men, hay ing acquired a competence in mining, make their headquarters still in the mining country as a matter of prefer ence, not necessity. Such men are much in the habit of taking short trips away, and are to be met with all through the highways and byways of travel. To be able to lead this pleasant, independent life is the dream of the less fortunate ones. Miners are very apt to disparage their calling while they are actively enrGged n 1t; they may term it "a dogs life but let them once be freed, mark how they hanle1 after iti

oueer Maryland surname,.

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 patronyCl- ic by which of two men bearing cX- 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 ease may be, the meaning of the phrase being ''son of William, Thomas or John" " Another device once commonly em- ployed was to couple with the name an adjective to indicate some physical pc culiarity, as ''long" to indicate tall man, black to indicate dark man or ''red" to indicate a ruddy man. Occa- sionally the distinguishing word is un- complimentary. Devil is not an un- usual prefix to the Christian or sura2rlc of a man having a reputation for vice or recklessness. A man bearing one ot the best known names in Maryland car vies to the grave this prefix.

DiN!NG-CAR DOGS.
They Have the Choicest Crumbs That
 Fall from the Tourists Table.

Fall from the Tourists Table.
 Fort William, on the north shore of Lake Superior, seems venerable enough with its two or three buildings, a cen tury old, of the Hudson Bay Company and the Catholic fathers, for nearly every other hamlet betwe en Ottawa and Winnipeg was called into being by the Canadian Pacific railroad and is therefore in it's infancy.
 Between Fort William and Winnipeg the railroad traverses a very wild re- zion, dotted and streal1ed by lakes and rapid rivers and covered with small timber greatly charred by fire. There is scarcely a wilder stretch of road along this transcontinental highway. At Savanne, well on the way to Winni- peg, a spectacle is witnessed twice a day that amuses the travellers on the Atlantic and the Pacific express trains, says the New York Sun. As the trains halt for few minutes at the station number of half-breed Indian women are always seen on the platform, and, as they are about the first specimens of the sort that are met on the journey west, the travellers gaze at them with considerable interest. Their attention, however, is suddenly diverted to the other side of the track, where twenty or thirty dogs of various breeds are seen-some of them fine specimens of the Hudson bay dog, and others of mon- grel descent and disreputable appear ance. All are gathered around a pile
 f.-.- ,s.o1,1 1,or out by the dining-car cooks.
 All stray scraps of meat are kept by the cooks until they reach Savanne, where twice day, upon the arrival of the west and east bound trains, the dogs have a fine feast. The owners of the animals never pretend to supply them with food, and the dogs depend entirely upon the treat they get from the dining cars. There is always sure to be enough for them, though their appetites are very keen, and the scram- ble for the choice morsels is heartily enjoyed by the lookers-on.
 The dogs are owned by the half breeds and are very useful in winter as sledge teams. The half-breeds hunt, and they have Hudson bay sledges, to which they hitch their dog teams and bring home the products of the chase. Savanne is probably the most southerly point where dog sledges are in use. The trains stop only few minutes, and when they pull out the crowd of dogs may still be seen pushing and snarling around the garbage heap, and they may be trusted to keep close to it until they have devoured everything eatable.

THE PEARL-DIvER's FOE.
A Giant Bivalve with YawninG Shells

A Giant Bivalve with YawninG Shells
 Lies in Wait for Him.
 "Wealthy ladies who assemble at evening parties and soirecs in magnih- cent costumes covered with fine pearls know little or absolutely nothing, per haps, about the many dangers en- countered in gathering those pearls from the sea-" remarked J. G. Danvers, of London, to a Chicago Herald man late ly. ''I was on trip along the coast of Zanzibar, Africa, a year ago, when learned that sea-pearl fishing is not a trade for men of weak hearts to follow. The pearls are gathered at the bottom of the sea by divers. The reason man with a weak heart is not fit for the work is because the stopped breath and the pressure of ninety feet of sea water, with it's weight of siXty-two pounds to the cubic foot, will bring on palpitation of the heart and burst the weaker yes sells, causing distressing and often dan gerous hemorrhages. But the divers are all stalwart savages, in such rug ged health that the physical danger never occurs to them. Two dangers
 
 the oyster grows there also thrives the giant tridachna, a monstrous bivalve, whose shell is from four to six feet in length, firmly anchored to the bottom. It lies with it's scalloped shells yawning foot or more apart. Immediately anything touches it the shells snap to- gether, and once these large shells are closed not a dozen men out of water could get them apart far less the sin gle diver, fifteen fathoms deep, who may have dropped into the capacious mouth or have carelessly put his hand within it's shell while groaping in the gloom.
 eff such fate befall diver there is only one thing for him to do, and that is to amputate himself from the enor- nous mollusk and rise to the surface, fainting, bloody and mangled. Those savages will fight anything from a lion to python on land, but they haven't the courage to run against bivalve under ninety feet of water and stand the chance of those yawning shells closing in on an arm or a leg and crush ing the bone to splinters. If the mon strous mollusk should close down and catch the divers head of course he would never know what killed him. His head would be mashed to a pulp and it would go off as quickly as if severed by guillotine. l saw only one native who had been caught by one of these mollusks. It had closed down on his left hand, and the only thing he could do as the monster held him in it's grip was to cut off the left arm at the nlhOW joint"

CHILEAN THEATERS.
Sunday Night tho Attendance Is tho

Sunday Night tho Attendance Is tho
 Largest.
 At the theater, where light opera is usually on the boards and good music is the rule, the gentlemen sally en masse into the vestibulc between the acts to indulge in tho universal cigarito. When the curtain is about to rise, bell is rung to recall them, and then for a few moments the house is so filled with smoke that one can hardly see across 1t, writes a Chilian correspondent.
 At the close of a performance, all the gentlemen who have no ladies in charge hurry into the vestibulc and take up their positions in rows, leaving a nar- row lane through which the ladies must pass, and stare at them with great earnestness, commenting freely and audibly upon their beauty and taste in dress. So far from thinking shis an impertincnce, the ladies con sider it complimentary, and afterward repeat to one another the remarks they have heard.
 Sundays and Thursdays are the fash onable nights, Sundays being the fav- orite, when the best pieces arc rem lered.
 Theater going, though so universally mdulged in, is an expensive amuse- ment in this part of the world. In Val paraiso the price for an indifferently To- cated box is ten dollars, with an addi- tional entrada, or entrance fee of one dollar and twenty-five cents for each person who occupies it. In Santiago the prices of the great Teatro Municipal are much higher, so that los ricos, who design to go often with their families, find it cheaper to buy a box by the year, for some hundreds of dollars. The boxes are sold at auction, to the highest bidders, on a certain date at the beginning of the season.

HUNGRY DOGS IN ALASKA.
Pathetic Scene in the Camp Of Band of
 Arctic Explorers.

Arctic Explorers.
 The night of February 13 we camped on the Chulitna, between Lakes Jones and Robinson, writes A. E. Schanz, of the Frank Leslie exploring expedition in Alaska. It was the first evening that our dogs were given no food at all. The poor beasts could not understand what it meant. They knew they had worked all day with as much vigor as they could command, and had earned their piece of fish. Why was it not forth coming2 When we halted to make camp I sat on my sled wrapped in gloomy thoughts. My poor skeletons, who had savage affection for their master, came up one by one and squatted in a circle about me, looking reproach- fully into my face.
 ''Where is that meal you owe us?" they would have said had they been gifted with speech. For me it was a horrible torture, and I had to hide my self from the accusation of their elo- quent eyes After awhile they lost their sorrowful manner. and the gnaw- ing of their vitals drove them to slink furtively about, searching for anything to still their bangs of hunger. l had whip made of tarred rope laid up in sen- net, and this dainty morsel was gorged down by one of the starving brutes. Another saw one of the boys take a package of tobacco from a sled and snatched the bundle. In an instant there was a fight of a dozen dogs, and the tobacco was gulped down before the animals discovered what it was. Some of the dogs ate the cod-line lacing on MT. Clarl1's sled, the line being covered thickly with red lead.
 During the night, however, there was little rest in camp, for the teams snarled about like pack of coyotes. At about midnight one of the brutes managed to get hold of pair of fishslzin boots in the mcn's quarters, and pandemonium reigned while the whole pack was fight ing for the delicacy.

VOTED FOR HIS SON.
But It Was the Only Time This Lifelong
 Democrat ForsooK Ills Party.


 Ex-Gov. Bigelow, of Connecticut, possessed deep sense of hunor. Moth ing gave him more delight among his friends than to recall the sturdy democracy of his father and the em- barrassment the old gentleman expert enced when he found himself con fronted with the problem of voting for his son as the candidate of the rcpub- lican party, and thereby withdrawing his support from the party of Jefferson and Jackson, says the New Haven Reg ister. It had been the pride and boast of Mir. Bigelow senior that he had never strayed from the democratic fold. From the momeEtous time when he cast his maiden vote he had kept within the democratic ranks, accepting with old fashioned faith and devotion it's. peri odical utterances. and renewing at each national gathering his pride Tn the soundness of democratic principles.
 When in 1880 he learned Of the prob able nomination of his son for governor as a republican he naturally found himself divided between his love for lllS DUH Gl1Ltl lko 1CfC LII Del y IAS ANS- soned that his son would make good governor, and TO harm would come to 5he state from his election, but he also recognized that while voting fer him he at the same time was indCrsing the views of the republican party, and this troubled him. He thought it over time and again, but found it not so easy to decide. h the meantime his worst fears were realized, and Hobart was nominated. The moment for de- cision had arrived, where a choice of ways was necessary. He spoke to his wife about his feelings and she advised him to drive over to Fair Haven and take the advice Of a lifelong friend who lived there. This he did tiras;ling g the old field of douEt over and over in his mind as he left North Haven behind him. Having arrived at his friends store, he made full and free ccnfcs- sion of his feelings. Then and there ho was advised that voting for ones own son in an off-ycar state contest could not compromise his standing in his party, and every one wouLl excuse him for doing it. This settled, he drove back to his home and watched the struggle with light heart.

The First Flag.

The first American flag that was saluted by any foreign nation is owned by Mrs. H. R. P. Stafford, of Cottage City, Mass. The flag has thirteen stripes and twelve stars. The patriotic ladies of Philadelphia presented it to John r Paul Jones, whose name has be- come famous for the successful victor ies he gained for America. It foated from the mast of the Bon Homme Rich ard in it's engagement with the English vessel Serapis, and was shot away and fell into the water. James Bayard Stafford, father of Mrs. Stafford's hus- band, lieutenant, jumped into the water and saved it from an untimely fate. He was wounded by a British sword and disabled for life. After the war was over the flag was presented to him for meritorious service. Three thousand dollars has been offered for these old ''Stars and Stripes" It was exhibited at the centennial by Lieut.. Stafford's daughter. At the inaugura- ton of President Harrison it was car ried in the procession.
