A Curious Mine.

There is silver mine near Sarhad,
in Afghan territory, which has q curl
Gus history. Three men were sent
from that country to Cabul, the resi-
dcnce of the amecr, to be executed for
an offensc against the state. They told
the ameer that If he would let them off
they would tell him where he could find
abundant supplies of silver. The ameer
deferred the execution and sent them
under guard to Ikansham, where they
went to work digging. They and the
men who were put to work with them
dug for twenty days, findiag nothing.
The amcer's officer told them ut length
that they could dig for seven days more
and if they did not find silver within
that time the sentence of death would
be carried out The next day they
came to very rich vein of silver, and
now about hundred men are employed
in the mine, which was visited last
summer by an English traveller.

A Crespiug BovlSlcr,

Savants are invited to solve the prob
lem OF how bowlder, weighing over
ten tons, can travel distance of forty
feet in twenty years without human
agency. The stone is In West Hill
pond, in the town Of Winchester, about
four miles from Winsted, Conn.,, and for
years 1t has been sort of boundary
mark. Recent surveys show that it Is
not where it was ten years ago by sew
eral feet. The water in the pond is ten
feet below its natural level and the
rock is partly out of water In front of
it heap Of stones and gravel has been
forced up as it has moved onward. and
in its rear is o deep channel through
which the rock plowed its way. Many
level-headed and truthful persons say
they have known Of this phenomenon
for twenty years.

THE SPIDERS WEB.
Where 1t Originated-It 1t In Stronger Than
Metal Thread.

Where 1t Originated-It Ia Stronger Than
Metal Thread.
Look carefully under her abdomen
and near the tip you will see six little
nipples. Under these nipples, inside her
body, there are special glands in which
a kind Of gum is secreted, and this
dries when 1t comes into the air. This
gum forms sillsen thread. from which
the spider builds her web. The nipples,
which are called 'spinnerets," have not
merely one opening, but are pierced
with at least a hundred holes, and when
the spider begins her web more than
six hundred separate strands go to make
up single thread.
According to computation, based upon
the fact that q fiber only one four-thou-
sandth part of an inch in diameter will
sustain fifty-four grains, q bar Of
spiders silk IN inch in diameter will
support weight of,seventy four tons.
In other words, according to the Kan
sas Farmer, spiders silk has nearly
three times the supporting strength Of
iron.

HE KILLED RATS.

Perhaps for That Reason lie IL the
Sacred Bird OF India.
When the morning came the men
used to carry the traps out on the open
maidaun, attended by three or four
adjutants, who knew very well what
treat was In store for them. With our
binoculars we could see from the house
the poor rats let loose and dash of at
their best pace toward the stables; but
grim adjutant with his long strides
and outstretched wings soon overtool.
the rat, tossed him in the air and
swallowed him. Occasionally, says
Longman's Magazine, very smart rat
would double under the leading I'D
jutant's legs; but the rat had little
:hance to escape, for II It evaded one
pursuer 1t only ran into the mouth Of
another.
The adjutant may be called sacred
bird; but as this epithet might be mis-
understood as If 1t applied - Nindoo
mythology, must explain, that he Is
,onsecrated to municipal duty, and is
sanctified by tho protection of nuunicipal
law. Anyone who kills an adjxtant in
Calcutta is punishable by q fine of q
gold mohur, or thirty-two shillings. I
never found this law in the statute
books any more than I ever saw that
fabulous coin, the gold mohsn. in its
original gold. But there is no English
magistrate in Calcutta who would
hesitate to impose fine Of gold
mohur ON anyone convicted n Milling
an adjutant.

NURSED A SICK DONKEY.
Tho Unusual Inratuation Of n Pet-Lovinl
English Widow.

Tho Unusual Inratuation Of n Pet-Lovins
English Widow.
An eccentric lady named Chamber.
lain died recently near birmingham,
Eng. She had considerable means and
kept herself surrounded with animals
of all sorts. For this purpose she
bought two cottages, one Of which she
occupied herself and the other she gave
up to her pets.
She conceived IN attachment for a
donkey belonging to ncighbor and
which browsed in an adjoining field.
The donllcy's lungs became affected,
and she invited him over to her field
and attended to HIM.
The owner of the donkey then said:
"lf you are so fond of the donkey will
make you present of it."
She accepted the donkey, which be-
came SO attached 10 her us to follow
her about, says the Chicago Herald.
A favoritc dog belonging to the hus-
band having survived him was, in ac-
cordance with the previous directions,
buried in his grave. When the widow
died there was some disturbance and
difficulties arose, the result being that
the dog was removed and after her
burial replaced in the grave.

GRAVEYARD POETRY.
Some Nirth-Trovokins Rhymes on n serl
Gus Subject.

Some Wirth-HrovokinS Rhymes on n Seri-
Gus Subject.
Nine-tenths Of those who think they
can write respectable poetry are mis-
taken, writes r. Dewitt Tallnage in the
February Ladies' Home Journal. 1t is
safe to say that most of the homemade
poetry is an oifc1sc to God and man.
One would have thought that the New
Hampshire village would have risen in
mob to prevent the inscription that was
really placed on one of It's tombstones
descriptive Of /. man who lost his life at
the foot of q vicious mare on the way to
the brook:
"As this man was leading her to drink
She kick'd and xill'd Lin Quicl.ern wink"
One would have thought that even
conservative New Jersey would have
been in rebellion at q child's epitaph
which reads thus:
"SEe was not smart, she was not fair,
But hearts with grief for her arc swcllin':
AL erlnty stands Ter little chair:
She died CT catin' watermelon"
Let not such dissertations be allowed
in hallowed places. Let not poetizers
practice on the tombstone. My uniform
advice to all those who want acccpta BILE
and suggestive cpitaphs is: Take pas
sage of Scripture. That will never wear
out. From generation to generation it
will bring down upon all visitors u holy
hush; and if before that stone has cru1a-
blcd the day comes for waking up of I'll
the graveyard slccpers, the very words
chiseled ON the marble may be the ones
that shall ring from the trumpet of the
archanGel on that day when the secrets
of all hearts shall be disclosed.

Preserving Dead Bodies.

Herodotus givcsa remarkable descrip-
tion of the manner in which the Ethi-
opians were accustomed to preserve
their dead According to his account,
having dried the body, they plastered
it over with gypsum and painted it so
as to make it resemble life as nearly as
possible. Then they put in. a hollow
column made Of crystal, which ma
terial they dug up in abundance. Thus
inclosed, the corpse was kept in the
house of its nearest surviving relations
Tor a year, after which it was buried.

Enx,and's Frozen Meat Imports.

The importation of frozen meat into
England is increasing year by year.
From is to 20 per cent OF all the mutt
ton consumed in the british Isles comes
from New Zealand and the River Plate,
to say nothing Of other sources of sup
ply. Last year New Zealand sent nearly
100000 and the Plate more than 1,00O,-
600 carcasses. Australia is coming to
the front. In three years its exports Of
carcasses have risen from 10000 to 34o,-
600, and there is no doubt that the busi-
ness in very few years will assume
vast proportions. Sheep raising has
also been begun in the Falkland islands
which exported a0,oUo carcasscs last
year as q beginning. The whole of
this trade has sprung up in less than
ten years. What it may be ten years
hence can scarcely be guessed.
