Gustave Dore's mother was plain, quiet woman, who preferred a domestic life and dId not shine in society, but she had the greatest sympathy with her illustrious son. She studied art that she might un- derstand his work, read the books and newspapers of which he was fond, made his friends her friends and humored his many, though harmless whins. The great artist gave as a reason for never marrying that he "always compared all wo- men to his mother, and they fell far short of her."

Day before yesterday Sam F. Webb returned from his new dis covery, twenty miles from Phenix and brought some very promising ore with him. The ore is free mill ing and very soft, with plenty of free gold visible to the naked eye. The formation is a peculiar one throughout and old miners are puz- zled as to what to call the rock. A ledge of quartz rests upon the form ation, resembling porphyry contain ing oxide of iron and free gold. This IS very soft and very rich. The quartz runs in places $50 to the ton. The prospects is that it is the rich est mine discovered in the territory tor long time, Mir. Webb will put in mill and go to working it at once.-Phenix Republican,

Mrs. A. B. Holson, of Chicago. has invented an apparatus by which runaway horses can be stopped by pressing a button connected with a battery, which will give them an electric shock. It was recently tried in Chicago on a pair of spirited horses which were frightened into running by severe and unexpected blow with the whip Although the animals were going at at terrific speed, they came to a complete and immediate standstill when the elec- tricity was applied.

There are very few cases on rec ord i'll which the foundation of a great financial undertaking has been the somewhat limited savings of an artist, or that the latter has been transformed into a successful business man, but this was just what occurred in the case of Fran CHS Martin Drexel, who came to America in 1877 at the age of twen- ty-fve, and followed his profession fportrait-painting and start a bank with a small sum he had saved. Accordingly he opened little office in Philadelphia in 1887, and there the present great firm of Drexel & Go. began its career. MT. Anthony Joseph DreXel was taken into the business when he was but thirteen years old, and became head of the firm upon the death of his father in 1863. Under his management the institution which commenced so modestly grew to immense pro- portions, and there now are branch houses in New York, Paris and Lon don.

The germ-theory, invoking the
 theory of these vile and malignant creatures through the vital currents of the system, is not a cheerful one ; but, if it leads to a discovery of the antidote, it's unsavory character may be overlooked. It is a ration al theory that in the arena of na- ture there is provided a relief for every physical ailment. Animals, when unhampered, often find those needed by them, but the human an imal has been slow in the discovery of his remedial provision. People still die of consumption and other diseases where the germ has been traced, and it is feared that the vic- tims of the grip will for some time yet have to rely upon the old and doubtful methods that are perhaps sneezed at by the untouched bacil- lus.-St. Paul Globe.

A circular has just been issued from the headquarters of the de- partment of Arizona, directing commlssaries of subsistence in the department to call the attention of producers, so far as possible, to the fact that when potatoes and onions of proper quality can be produced in the vicinity of the posts, at req sonable prices, they will be pur- chased by the subsistence depart ment in such quantities as may be required for issues and sales.- Stockman.

The instinctive fear which cats have of dogs is illustrated very amusingly by stroking a dog and then caressing blind and newborn kitten with the same hand that has touched the dog. At once the kit ten will spit and fluff itself up in the most absurd way, distinguish ing the smell of the beast which for thousands of generations has taught it most to dread.-Pittsburgh Dis patch.

Four cars of fcattle were shipped from Bisbee Monday by Packard, Roberts and others. They were prime beef steers and went to the Los Angeles market. From Mir. Vickers, who came from Bisbee, the Prospector learns that the cattle all through the southern part of the county are reported in good condi- tion with almost no losses. Nearly every cattle owner reports his stock in fully as good condition as last year at this time.-Tombstone Pros- pector.

Some interesting and rather sur prising statistics on the use of the telephone in European countries have been collected. In London, the greatest commercial city of the world, only 1.5 persons in 1000 use the telephone. The telephone is used most in countries where the service is used or controlled by the State. In Germany, Switzerland, Norway and Sweden from 100 to 400 persons in every 100000 of the population are subscribers. In Eng land only 58 persons in 100000 use the telephone, In Berlin I, and in Paris Az out of every 1,000 inhabi- tants use the telephone.-New York Sun.

In cases of chronic bronchitis, with difficult breathing and scant expectoration, the use of banana juice has been highly praised. The juice is prepared by cutting up the bananas in small pieces, and put ting them with plenty of sugar in a closed glass jar. The latter is then placed in cold water, which is grad ually made to boil. When the boil ing point is reached the process is complete. Of the syrup so made a teaspoonful every hour is the prop CT dose.-Medical and Surgical Re- porter.

The late Cardinal Manning was the first one who ever used the phonograph for the express purpose of having a posthumous message conveyed to posterity. This occur red last Easter, and, as yet, only the two persons who were then pres- ent know what the words were. Cardinal Manning himself was said to be affected with a feeling akinto awe, when the suggestion was first made to him.

Senator Stanford is said to have theory that magnetism may be developed not only in the human species, but in horses, and has made some experiments to that effect. He is credited with having said to one of his friends: "In short, my secret is this 1 cultivate the horses magnetism and intelligence; I let him know I want his utmost, but I let him understand I will not press him too far; then he trusts me and does his best. They know me as

 The Count and Countess Tolstoi have been working with almost su- perhuman energy and devotion to relieve the necessities of the starv- ing Russian peasants, having estab- lished nearly thirty public kitchens, and dispensed in a single month 10000 rubles which they had re- ceived from all parts of the coun- try. A correspondent of the New York Sun, however, communicates the shocking information "that the charitable activity of the Count was stopped by .the government, and that about the middle of December the Count and his daughters were already living in Moscow, probably under the direct supervision of the police. The correspondent of the Novosti of St. Petersburg, Vladimir Mikhnevitch, who had been sent to investigate the conditions of the people in the furnishing districts, was also recalled to the metropolis early in December. Since the Cen tral Committee with the CzaroWitz at it's head was appointed, no re- ports about the starving peasants are allowed to appear in the Rus sian papers, and the charities not under the official control of that committee were peremptorily sus- pended"

Vice as a Disease.

Some of our religious exchanges
 make reference to crime and its ex
 posture in such a way as to invite
 criticism and remark since all class,
 es of citizens are interested in the discussion and the possible result
 of these disclosures. A writer in a
 New York journal speaks of vice or
 open sin as disease. Il is regard
 ed as an unhealthy condition, and
 they who commit crime, it is urged
 should be treated as patients
 placed in institutions where inva-
 lids can have the benefit of skillful
 treatment at the hands of the phy-
 sician. This is regarded as a great advance. We cannot but agree with
 the Presbyterian, ot this city that "it is an advance in the wrong direc- tion." This theory is probably of French origin, where immoralities have long since been regarded by some as diseases and vagrancy as sickness. If this theory be correct we may strike off all penalties on our statute books, and put all criminals hereafter in the hands of trained nurses, whose tender care accompanied by the physicians skill, will be welcome substitute for the solitary confinement and hard labor of the enitentiary. A judge cannot. of course sentence an afflicted criminal to a place of pun ishment. What right has he to an invalid when a hyper dermic injection, or Scott's Emul- sion, or something else. is the pro- per cure for his distemper? Let the visit the patient; there is no longer any use for the services of priest or minister. It seems to us who cherish the old fashioned view of crime that such notions as above stated will work evil, and only evil, and that continually we need to condemn sin, not to condone 1t, We need to make crime shameful in the eyes of men rather than that which exeites our sympathy and calls for tender treatment. There is entirely too much of that sickly sentimentality which leads to the purchase of bouquets for criminals who are guilty of abomlnations which virtuous men and women should abhor.-Philadelphia Press.

Situated on the shores of the Tegernsee, in the Tyrol, is a hospi- tai for the blind, whose founder and surgeon, Duke Karl Theodor of Ra- varia, and four assistant Sisters of Mercy, are all of royal birth. These latter are the Dukes wife (the Duchess Marie Jose, Infanta of Por- tugal, her step daughter, the young Duchess Amelie Marie, and the two young daughters of the heir-pre- sumptive to the throne of Bavaria, the Princesses Aldegondsa and Marie Ludwiga. Last year the Duke per formed the operation for cataract 262 times, and, what is most re- markable, with absolute success in every case. The Duchess arrives at the hospital every morning during the spring months to assist the Duke in the operations, which are always performed before noon. She ad- ministers the ether, dresses the wounded eyes,--and spends many hours reading to the poor patients. She superintends the whole estab- lishment, including the kitchen, pantries and laundries.
