A MINE THAT SHUTS ITS MOUTH.

One OF the Most Remarkable Natural
Wonders OF Montana
Reference to the natural wonders Of
Montana, particularly the chicken broth
and bichloride springs, brings to light
others OF equal magnitude. Colonel
John Doyle's wonderful vinegar mine
in Beaverhead county passes the domain
Of doubt into the sunlight OF truth. It
Is backed by crisp affidavits. and affi-
davits cost one dollar each in Montana.
The colonel and his partners did not
confine themselves to vinegar. They
discovered q mountain OF pure alum in
the Beaverhead range.
The discovery was considered ten
strike and better than gold mine.
They kept the find secret for several
weeks, during which shaft was sunk
TO the depth Of 200 feet. The cut was
made all the way through q solid vein
OF alum, and 1t was estimated that the
whole mountain was composed of it. A
large pile of stuff was heaped near the
mine ready for shipment, and the miners
had a scheme to food the market with
their product and rake In 81 zoo, 900 at
one fell swoop. Monday the colonel's
partner went to town to lay In supply
of grub and the former remained behind
to guard the treasure.
During the morning heavy rain be-
gan to fall and continued all day, and In
the afternoon the colonel had occasion
to go down into the mine, making the
descent by sliding down the rope, and
when once down at the bottom was so
taken up with contemplation Of his
novel and wonderful mine that he did
not heed the feeting hours until he hap.
pened to cast his eyes upward and saw
that daylight had faded from the mouth
of the shaft. He started to climb up
ward, but had not proceeded more than
half way when, to his horror, he discov.
cred that the heavy fall Of rain had SO
thoroughly saturated the alum sides OF
the shaft that, as natural result, they
had drawn together until the hole was
scarcely large enough for man tocrawl
through.
The imprisoned man recognized his
awful position, and without losing much
time struggled toward the top OF the
shaft. Every foot he advanced the
shaft became smaller, and for the last
ten feet he was compelled to dig his
way with pocketknife, and when he
finally reached the surface he was COM
pletely exhausted, his clothes were torn
and his body badly bruised. The rain,
which was still falling soon revived the
colonel, and he started toward the camp
to meet his partner, to whom he related
his marvellous experience.
Together they started to their mine,
or at least tried to, for although they
searched for two days they were unable
to find any sight OF their late posses
sions. The rain had undoubtedly thor
oughly and tightly closed up the dis
coyery shaft and melted away every
sign of the alum piled on the outside, so
that to this time 1t has been impossible
to find any trace of the mine. Omaha

"The largest mosquitoes In the world
are to be found In Yucatan," said Rich
ard Beverly. Until few years ago
there was not a mosquito in all Mexico.
They were introduced by vessels from
the United States, and have In the land
of their adoption attained proportions
unknown In other countries. The low
lands of Yucatan swarm with monster
mosquitoes whose bite Is almost as pain
full as the sting Of bee. The historical
Jersey mosquito sinks into insignif-
canoe beside these Titans Of their kind,
which are frequently as large rs house
flies. In neighborhoods where marshes
abound II Is impossible to keep stock Of
any kind, and during the rainy season
people wear coarse netting stretched
over face and neck to keep these insects
from devouring them. st. Louis Globe
Democrat.

A witty Rsply Of Pops,s.

AS narrated by Edward Walford in
his Greater London, /" Frederick, prince
of Wales, sometimes visited Alexander
Pope at his villa. On one occasion when
the prince was on a visit, Pope, after ex-
pressing the most dutiful professions Of
attachment, gave his royal highness an
opportunity Of observing very shrewdly
that his (the poet's) love for princes was
inconsistent with his dislike for kings,
since princes may In time become kings.
Said his royal highness;
"Mr. Pope, ! hear You don't like
princes"
''Sir, beg your pardon"
"Well, then, you don't like kings"
"Sir, must own that like the lion
best before his claws are grown"
No reply could well have been happier.

A Jealous Elephant.

An amusing instance of elephantine
pride is told by Baker. The elephant
which usually led the state procession of
q rajah being sick, the magnificent trap
pings were placed on one which had up
to this time occupied only subordinate
place. The animal, delighted with its
finery, showed its glee by so many little
squeaks and kicks of pleasure that gen.
eral attention was attracted TO it.
Not long after another state process
sion was formed, and the previous
wearer Of the gold cloths, being re-
stored to health, took his accustomed
place and trappings, when the now de-
graded beast, imagining perhaps that
he was being defrauded Of his promo
ton, was with great difficulty restrained
from attacking the leader of the parade.

"There goes my corset

And it generally happens
at an inconvenient time. Do
you know why it breaks Z
The eyelet cuts it.
Eyelets are going to cut

corsets are eyeleted with
loops of corset lace, which
neither cut nor show through
a thin dress.

Mr.. Dancy puts down the ''draggie
tailed" habits OF speech ON the stage to
the fact that the stage Is to great ex-
tent the refuge OF young people who
take to It because they imagine the life
TO DO free and easy, and who adopt 1t
with no greater qualification than an
attractive appearance and confident
manner. They also regard It as espe-
cially favorable to their purposes, in
that as they imagine 1t requires no pre-
hminary training London Telegraph.

Soft BEDS for Invalids.

Air beds are the modern sine qua non
of the invalid. Nothing can be more
restful and comfortable to the sick frame
than the relief from the bed fatigue
which this invention affords. They are
tick covered and readily inflated. The
slightest motion alters the position Of
the occupant, and there is no such thing
- lumpy surface possible beneath him.
