A Cloudburst.

Cab Lee, a squaw man of the Amargosa valley, tells of sleeping rear the mouth of Furnace creek canyon enc night years ago with a 'bug hunter, as the desert tramp ing scientists are called in camp. It vas so hot that the bug hunter could not sleep. About midnight he heard a roaring noise up the canyon. which, as it kept increasing in volume, caused him to look up that way. To his surprise he saw, as he supposed, the sky that appeared between the canyon walls grow suddenly white.
 At that moment Lee rolled over and the bug hunter asked him what ailed the sky. Lee gave one glance and then yelled: 'Cloudburstl Cimbf~ They scrambled up the steep wall just in time to save their lives Lee thinks the foaming wall of water that had whitened the sky was not less than 100 feet high.

One of the amenities permitted by jhe authorities of convict prisons, and of which the convicts to. their credit avail themselves very largely, is the large and extensive circulating library connected with each estab-
 ishment. A convict prison library contains as good a collection of books as can be seen on the shelves of 6 first class free library and reading room. Some of the best works of English, French and German authors are passed weekly from cell to cell in all English prisons The reader, no doubt. can imagine what a boon interesting and readable books must be to prisoners who are quiet and intelligent. Serials bound up in half yearly volumes are included in the prison catalogue. e.-London Tit Bits.

ror.l.na ce~en, ,p Germ.ny.

The manufacture of Portland ce- ment was first introduced into Ger many in 1852. Now there are sixty large works, having the same an nual production as England-20, 900, 900 barrels. The raw materials are of exceedingly unfavorable charac- ter, but the manufacturers have made serious study of the proper ties and uses of Portland cement, and now know exactly what rules to follow to regulate their operations, and the consumer can depend on the product offered him The association of manufacturers has had much to do with the immense development of the industry in Germany. In France the industry grew slowly, the total production in 1880 hardly ex- ceeding 750, 900 barrels a year; now it is 1.s00,000 barrels. York Evening Sun.

A Field for Ambition. Young Men.

Perhaps no kind of industry offers a more inviting field to the specu- lative mind than the elephant trade. It is not overdone. Catching, tanning and selling elephants constitute a business open to any one who choos- es to fallow it Then elephant prices, once so moderate, have grown pro digiousiy. Fifty years ago a tame elephant could be bought in India for about $200. Now prices range from c, 900 to $4, 900. Yet it is no harder to tame an elephant now than before. and there is no glut in the market.
 Elephants sell readily according to desirability at the figures suggested. Besides, the occupation is one in which sport can be combined with profit Itis adventurous and excit- ing, full of interest from the time an elephantine trail is discovered until the capture of the monster is effect cd. But the sport does not end here. Any amount of animation may be experienced in tanning elephants and teaching them the counties incident sl to menagerie life.
 We throw these hints out in the hope that they may prove helpful to energetic and enterprising young men who are hesitating which road to fortune they shall choose.-Troy press

Seeking . Conrad. in tn. Grave.

During the Garibaldian campaign of 1866, in which Signor Genala, the present Italian minister, took part, he had Q oomrade whose mother had been a second parent to himself. This comrade was missed after the battle of Montesuello, and nothing could be heard of him. Genala went to his friends mother and swore he would bring her son, dead or alive. Then he went in search of him in Austria Hungaria, Bohemia and Croatia, visiting all the hospitals, prisons, lazzarettos and barracks, but all in vain.
 Genala then returned to Italy and instituted inquiries and researches, obtaining permission to uncover the graves in many small cemeteries near Montesuello, and finally found and recognized the corpse of his friend. He transported the remains to Crema, where his mother had the consolation of giving her dead son an honored burial Roma

s.,.~. Women of south America.


 Some of the savage women along the Inirida river are fairly good look ing and have, excellent figures, but their cosnelness is nearly always spoiled by badly decayed teeth I assisted unintentionally in the per formance of quite romance on one occasion. When my canoe was on the point of leaving 6 native village, where we had been sojourning, a young Indian girl seemed to be con siderably agitated and manifested an evident desire to accompany me. My pilot, against my wish, permitted her to get aboard and she came with us down the stream to our next halt ing place.
 l noticed that the pilot was ex- tremely attentive to her. Shortly after we made our next landing the mother of the girl made her appear ance in 6 canoe, having followed us to get back her daughter. The pilot was very melancholy after this occur renee and subsequently, confessed to me that he had brought the young girl away for thepurpose of making her bis wife.
 Matrimonial methods are extreme ly simple among these natives When a young man and young wom- an wish to marry they go to house keeping together. and that is all there is of it Often a youth of one viii lage will woo and win a maiden of a village hundreds of miles distant along the river. As a rule they seem to enjoy as uninterrupted a do mestic felicity as civilized couples obtain.-Interview in Washington Star. ss. ga ts

Man With . Wounded Head Tells Story
of Attempted Robbery.
James Crawford, . mining engineer,
staggered into Kellogg's drug store last
evening and inquired for a surgeon. His
head was very bloody, and it was plain
that he was under the influence of liquor.
He said that he had been assaulted by two
pen, who sought to rob him.
The police were SUNNI oned, and the
wounded man was conveyed to head
quarters in the patrol wagon. He was at

up two painful scalp wounds ON the top Of
the head. Crawford said:

consisted of o. A. Schade, J. A Kelso and
Nj. W. Sinclair; the ball committee was
composed of ]. 1. Wiley. DR.. j. H. john
son and +. M. Woodruff, while the ban
quet was in charge of ]. A. Kelso and ].

and the people of Columbia deserve great
credit for the excellent showing which
they made.
The banquet was the main feature and
was gotten up by the ladies of Columbia,
assisted by B. r. Briefly. Invitations had
been extended only to the citizens of Co
lumbia and few distinguished residents
of Seattle. At the festive board covers
were laid for $50 persons. Many happy
speeches were made. J. 1. Wiley acted in
quite a capable manner as POSTMASTER.

charming little informal concert, which
was participated in by beth local and Sc
attic talent. The ball followed, when to
excellent music the guests danced until
after midnight, late car bringing the
Seattle visitors home
