Montana Sapphires.

The only locality in Montana which
has been at all prolific of sapphires is the
six or seven miles of placer ground be-
tween Ruby and Eldorado bars on the
Missouri river, sixteen miles east of He
lena. Here sapphires are found in gla-
cial auriferous gravels while sluicing for
gold, and until now have been consid-
cred only by product. Up to the pres
ent time they have never been systemat-
ically mined. In 1889 one company took
the option on 1000 acres of the river
banks, and several smaller companies
have since been formed with view of
mining for these gems alone or in con-
nection with gold.
The colors of the gems obtained, al
though beautiful and interesting, are not
the standard blue or red shades generally
demanded by the public. The stones
embrace great variety of the lighter
shades of red, yellow, blue and green.
The latter color is found quite pro-
nounced, being rather blue green than
an emerald green. Nearly all the stones,
when finely cut, have an apparent metal
lie luster which is strikingly peculiar to
those from this locality. Neither req
rubies nor true blue sapphires have yet
been found.-Omaha Bee.

Curiosities i'm Eggs.

We met our old friend, Mr.. Jesse
Eaton. on the street the other day, and
he told us of wonderful egg his daugh-
ter came across a short time ago. On
breaking it she discovered another per-
fectly formed egg with shell inside of
it. 1t was about the size of partridge
egg. Another gentleman standing by
told of curiosity in the shape of a
double chicken that had been batched
on his place. The backs of the twins
were united, and while one would be
standing on his feet the feet of the other
would be pointing upward. When
growing tired of this position it or they
would flop over and stand on the other
feet, the positions being reversed. He
said the chickens lived several days

PARIS BATHCARTS
Queer Way i'm Which the Average French
man Makes His Additions.

Queer Way in which the Average French
man Makes His Additions.
An American familiar with the fact
that every house or apartment, renting
as low as $500 per year in the United
States, has its own bathtub, with hot
and cold water supply and waste to re-
move the contents of the tub, is amused,
if not amazed, when on visit to Paris
he gets an idea of the custom still pre-
vailing in that metropolis of luxury and
elegant buildings.
The large hotels, some very costly pri-
vate mansions and apartments, and the
public lighthouses have their bathrooms,
as is the custom in the United States,
though the French bathroom is really
much larger, and is elegantly furnished
with rugs, lounges, dressing tables, etc.,
the idea being that if one takes bath
one must lie down and take nap afterit.
People living in apartments costing as
high as 81 900 year, and in the new
quarter of Paris in the neighborhood Of
the Champs Elysees, when they wish to
battle, other than take sponge bath i'll
small portable tub. either go to the
public bathing establishments or send
to them to have bath brought to their
apartments. Sunday morning one sees
strange looking two wheeled cart like
very high dog cart, on which there is
framework built over the wheels.
This framework can hold three bath
tubs. They are made entirely of copper
and are about feet long, 20 inches deep
at the end and IS inches on the side.
The driver of this vehicle is perched
up high on a small seat in front, is bare
headed and wears a blouse. On each
side of him an iron ring encircles a cop
per colored vessel, holding about three
gallons of hot water, which rests on a
little shelf. He also carries a supply of
dry towels and sheets. The bathing es-
Establishments have these carts, and when
a patron sends word that he wants a hot
bath at certain hour the bath is put on
the cart, the kettle filled with hot water
and the cart with its strange load il
rapidly driven to the building in which
the apartment is.
The driver carries the bathtub, as an
Adirondack guide carries a canoe, on
his head and shoulders, from the first tc
the fifth floor, as the case may be, and
after spreading sheet to protect the
carpet, he spreads also a clean sheet m.
side of the tub, so that the bather does
not touch the metal. Then he carries
up the kettle of hot water which he has
brought from the main establishment.
The necessary cold water he gets on the
premises, either on the same floor with
the apartment, or in the courtyard.
When the bather has had his bath, the
attendant removes the soiled water by
dipping it out, wipes out the tub and
carries it with his kettles and soiled
towels down stairs TO his cart. The
charge for all this is about sixty cents
with the usual additional tip to the man

EvADING THE EVIL ONE.

By the time the procession had reached
the Thirty-fourth street ferry the Evil
One must have been blocks behind, but
the hearse just missed the ferry and he
caught up. AS soon as the hearse drove
onto the boat the Chinaman scattered the
slips with a lavish hand. A number of
small boys, however, usurped the func-
tons of the Evil One, and scrambled to
pick up the papers, thus throwing the
Chinaman into despair.
The man perched on the hearse, how
ever, was equal to the emergency. just
as the hearse drove off the boat he threw
all the slips he had left, prodigious
number, upon the deck, and before the
Evil One could pick them all up he was
carried back to New York, while the
procession pursued its way to Cypress
Hill in peace.
On arriving at the cemetery the cofSn
was placed beside the open grave in the
Chinamen's lot, where twenty or more
Mongolians already lie, and again We're

leaving behind trail of appetizing
smells. After the funerals the tramps

of the dead Chinaman, deprived Of his
rice and roast pig. Consequently, to pre-

WASHINGTON. April l3.-The session

ance were presented; one, a do

the other mingling domestic and
foreign affairs, being the naval ap-
preparation bill. The first question
was brought forward by Mr.. Cooper, of
Indiana, who. rising to a personal ex-
PLANTATION. not only defended himself
from the charges of having used his
position to influence the pension Office.
but made an attack upon the commits

frequently, but finally succeeded in fin

VICTIM OF SECRET POISON.


Pittsburgh Late Police Superintendent
was Foully Murdered.
PITTsBURG, Pa, April l3.-Gamble
Weir, superintendent of police of this
city, who died suddenly three months
ago, was poisoned, SO his friends de-
clare, and with the best of reasons, too.
At the time of his death Weir's
friends had suspicious of foul play, but
they kept the matter secret in the
hope that some clue might be discov-
cred that would lead to the discovery
of the murderer.
After Weir's burial several friends
quietly went to Greenwood cemetery,
exhumed the body and removed
the stomach and spleen, after which
the corpse was returned to the
grave. The intestines were submitted
to an analytical chemist for examina-
ton. His work is not finished, but it
has been found that enough poison
had been taken to kill several men.
The stomach had been literally eaten
up with a violent poison of one kind
and there are evidences that another
kind had been used.
One poison was corrosive sublimate
and the other is thought to be arsenic.
The chemist was not even informed
whose stomach it was that had been
submitted TO him, and every effort was
made to keep the circumstances secret
until some day the author of the crime
might be discovered. 1t looks now as

RED RIVER ON A TEAR.
st. Vincent and Emerson, North Dakota,
Flooded With Water.

st. Vincent and Emerson. North Dakota,
Flooded With Water.
ST. PAUL. Mimi, April l2.-The late
and heavy rains have been having dis
astrOus effects in some parts of North
Dakota A week ago jamestown was
fearful of damage from the river, but
managed to escape. The Red river
valley has not been so fortunate, &C
cording to the report from St.
Vincent. The Red river is over
theAbanks and has begun flooding the
towns of St. Vincent and Emerald.
The river was forty feet above low
water mark and still rising this after
noon. As the ice in the river has not
yet gone out, a greater height is
feared. A rise of only a foot more
will cover the town of Emerson. The
indications are that the disastrous
food of 1880 will be repeated.
