Found it's Long-Iost Mine.

HERMosILLO. Mex. March 16-Tbe
long sought-for mine of'Tumacacort'
has been discovered, the fortunate
prospeetor being James Fisher. 1t lie
located about twenty miles west of
Tubac, in the State of Sonora. This
famous mine was discovered original
ly by the Jesuit fathers, who worked
1t for many years. The Apache IDdi-
ans finally drove out and massacred
the religious pioneers. The latter,
rather than leave their wealth to
their prosecutors, oblitersted all
traces Of the mine, which has been
hunted for ever since by persons who
had heard the story handed down by
the Jesuit fathers. Mr.. Fisher says
that he has abundant evidence in
the nature of old workings to support
his claim of having without question
discovered the original Tumacocort
bonanza mine.

He said: Good morning, sir. Excuse

Something New Under the Sun.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March 16.-The
Philadelphia and Reading railroad
company has completed locomotive
the like of which has never been put
on railroad before. Its appearance
is odd and attracts a great deal of at
tention. The locomotive, tank and

being no tender attached by coupling.
The locomotive proper is smaller than
the regular size of large class locomo.
tives, but with the tank it is longer.
1t weighs about 100, 900 pounds. The
locomotive has six drivers" The
front truck has two wheels and the
truck on which the tank rests has six.
1t is q compound engine, and il
proves success more will be built.

II wish 10 heavens. madam, you'd
keep your child to yourselfr'
"For shame. Annie" whispered the
poor woman, cowed by his look. y.
But again Annie paid no heed. Indeed
she pushed the malacca toward the old
gentleman. saying:
Please. sir, will zee warm Mister Bar
rabel wi this;"
He moved uneasily and looked harshly
at her without answering For shame,
Annier' the woman murmured second
time: but saw her lean back and tear
started and rolled down her cheea.
IF YOU please, SIR" repeated Annie,
will 'ce warm Mister Barrabel wi this?''
The old gentleman stared at her. In
his eyes you could read the question,
"What in the DEVILS name does the child
mean The robust woman read 1t there
and answered him huskily: Poor mite,
she's buried her father this mornin; an
Mister Barrabel is the coffin maker, an
nailed i'm down"
"Now." said Annie. this time eagerly,
will ee warm him same as the big
doll did Just now?"
Luckily the old gentleman did not un-
derstand this last allusion. He had not
seen the group around the Punch and
Judy show, nor il he had is IL likely he
would have Guessed the train OF thought
in the child's mind. But to me, as !
looked at my fellow passengers nose
and the deformity Of his shoulders and
remembered how Punch treats the un-
dertaker, it was plain enough. Iglanced
at the childs companions. There was
nothing in their faces to show that they
took the allusion. And the next minute

what had prompted Annies speech.
For as | looked. with beautiful
change on his face, the old gentleman
had taken the child on his knee and was
talking to her as dare say he had never
talked before.
Are you her motherT he asked, look
ing up suddenly and addressing the
woman opposite.

year I'm her aunt, an I'm takin her
home to rear long wi my own childer." !"
He was bending over Annie, and had
resumed his chat. II was all nonsense
something about the silver knob Of his
malacca-but it took hold of the child's
fancy and comforted her. At the next
station had to alight, for it was the
end of my journey. But looking back
into the carriage as | shut the door, /
saw Annie bending forward over the
walking stick and following the pattern
of its silver work with her small finger.

pi.couragement for Jail Birds.

"Jail breaks" were being discussed by
q number Of gentlemen. "For the bet
ter security of prisoners charged with
the more serious offenses they have
adopted very ingenious plan in that
city of jail breaks Denver" said Mr..
j. w. Freeman. "The principle upon
which it is worked is this: A man is put
into one of number of iron cells, the
cells being ranged in circle. Then the
whole thing is set in motion, but the
construction renders the movement so
gentle that 1t is not felt by any Of the
convicts The result is that if an at
tempt be made to cut hole at any
point. with tho idea Of resuming the
work at a future time, the attempt is
frustrated, because by tho regular move
ment the cell will be completely reversed
at the time the prisoner returns to 1t
from that which it occupied when he
temporarily left it. The motion is kept
up from morning till night, SO that es-
cape by ordinary methods is an impossi-
bility.- st. Louis Globe-Democrat.

A valuable pipe that belonged to the
late Lawrence Barrett had carved on its
bowl an ideal head of Ophelia. The
collecting of pipes was one of Barrett's
hobbies, and he was often seen in some
Of the New York establishments looking
up what he could find in the way Of odd
pipes. The pipes he usually bought
were old ones that had been colored by

extraordinary Properties of a Nut.

Extraordinary Properties of a Nut.
The wonderful stories that have been
cold of the life giving properties of the
southern Africa are even more than con-
fr1ned by eulogistic letter written by
the British consul at Bahia. The west
African carriers at that port continually
use the kola. which they carry about
carefully wrapped in pieces of banana
peel. These human beasts of burden
are not, physically speaking, superior to
the Brazilian negro, yet this African,
with the additional nerve force impaired
by the kola nut, can endure from 10 to
100 hours of fatigue, the half of which
would kill the laborer foolhardy enough
to attempt it without using the invig-
Grating little nut.
Where it takes eight Brazilian negroes
to carry a load with difficulty, four
African porters carry it cheerfully
along. singing las if each muscular ex-
ertion was celebrating JOY" Where
kola eaters are employed in unloading
vessels they are always given twice the
pay received by their competitors who
do not use the nut. There are thousands
of this latter class, the majority of
whom refuse to eat it because of be-
lief that the devil originated the nut for
the special use of those he desired to
have as laborers in his vineyard.-St.

Chimborazo, the ''pride of the Andes,

Most or the nner fans SOLD mere are
made In Paris and in three or four sub
urban villages near by. No fanmaker
knows the whole art. All the workers
in one village make sticks; those in an
other fold: those in third supply the
bows that hold the sticks together. The
making of the upper sticks is trade by
itself After all the parts have been
made they are sent to the great factories
in Paris to be put together. A fanmaker
begins his apprenticeship in childhood.
The tools are few and simple.
Most of the carving and fligree work
is done with chise1 or scroll saw. The
pattern, traced on paper, is pasted on
the piece of bone or ivory or wood from
which the fan stick is to be made, and
the fligree is rapidly cut with a saw.

workers in shells. That is a difficult,

oLuTIoN OF THE RACE HORSE.

The DeveIopme OF the Thoroughbred
Is Entirely the Work of Man.
In so far as a creature endowed with
life can owe its existence to human hands
the race horse may be said to be man.
made. Horses were an important factor
in early nomadic life, ard were cherished
by their owners, and the progress of
civilization, so far from breaking this
bond, has apparently strengthened it.
The animal is not now SO essential to
human welfare and convenience; science
has furnished other means of transpor
tation. and it is in fair way to take all
the heavy loads from his back; but in
the degree that he ceases to be mere
beast of burden he is transformed into
source of entertainment and pleasure.
From a rough and hardy creature,
subsisting on such rations as chance and
convenience might provide and suffering
the hardships and hazards of toll and
adventure, he has gradually evolved
into combination of nerves, lntell1-
gence and trained muscle that has but
a family likeness to his early progeni-
tors.
/; 1t differs from them in the same
measure that the American Beauty or
the La France rose differs from the little

is not chance that has given him that
peculiar build. that slenderness and
hghtness that to the expert means speed.
His masters have wanted these develop
ments, and they have studied sire and
dam and the pedigree of each until they
could name in advance the qualities of
the offspring. And having secured a
horse that has within him the possibi l.
ties of outdoing his ancestors they treat
him us d precious belonging. as indeed
he Is.
A groom is always in attendance. He
is brushed and combed until his coat is
like satin He is fed and housed and
exercised with as much care for his
comfort as for a child's. Royalty itself
is not looked after with more solicitude.
The attention that ancient Greeks used
to give to their own bodily training is
given by modern men to the race horse.
and as a result he is a marvel of phys
ical perfection.
And after all this? Why, when he has
been tested and his PAGES tried he is put
upon the race track. where his beauty
and grace and swiftness please the sight
and thrill the pulses of the watching

for public pleasure could ever dO.-In-
