character have been appearing in the newspapers for the past week. No one has been able to assign a satisfactory reason for the situation. It is a fact, however, that many wives whose presence during the winter months in their kitchen was only formality, now don cap and apron and prepare the meals for their families; that is, those do who can cook. Others flee in despair to restaurants and boarding houses.
 The new mining camps have drawn domestics from Denver to the mountains by offers of high wages, and fair number have ac- cepted the chances offered. The servant in the West is pioneer and is willing to attempt to make a winning in any locality, regard less of half-civilized surroundings.
 In Ithe meantime thousands of good, honest and respectable girls are growing old prematurely in East ern kitchens at low wages, and golden opportunities in the far West go begging. Horace Greeley might just as well have included femininity in his remark about the young man steering toward the setting sum- Denver Republican.

The Rivers.

ST. LOUIS, June 2.-The river is still rising, and while it has not done any new damage in conse- qrence there is great fear at present that it will so far prolong the flood as to make the June rise an es- pecially dangerous one. Parts of the levee dry yesterday are now flooded.
 ONE THOUSAND FAMILIES STARVING.
 MURPHYsB0Ro, ILL, June 2.-- The present high water in the Mis- sissippi river left 1000 families with nothing to keep want from the door. Fully 800 of the 1000 families are tenants with neither food nor cloth ing and calling for aid from more fortunate neighbors. No estimate can yet be put upon the property destroyed, but will reach far be- yond anything ever known in this country.

HE WOULDN'T TAKE PAY.
A Bootblack's Neat Reply to the Remarl
 of q One-Legged Veteran.

Bootbiaek's Neat Reply to the Remark of a One-Legged Veteran. Two men stood on New York street corner chatting, one having his boots blacked the while, the other trying to keep poor cigar burning. The latter bad but one leg. When the ragged little boot black had got through with the one and collected nickle, he tapped his box smartly with his brush and looked up at the one-legged man:
 "Shine 'em up, sir7"
 "Why, I've only got one foot, young chap"
 "Shine it up, sirf"
 "Well, I don't know--you charge nickle for two feet, I s'pose you'll do mine for two and half cents, eh?n
 "Yes," said the boy, Eff you'll furnish the change J He went in- dustriously to work polishing up the lonely foot, while the two men continued joking. The one-legged man was telling the other fellow about leaving his leg on the slope of Lookout mountain. He had pulled out ten. cent piece mechan- ically, as he talked, and the boy was long time on the job. When the lad had put an extra fine polish on the broad -bottomed shoe the one- legged customer cheerily rendered the dime.
 q always pay double," said he, laughing patronizingly, Ion account of the wear and tear on the boys feelings"
 "An' I allus don't take nothin' !, " retorted the dirty little fellow, shouldering his box with the con ventional swing. My grandpa left leg in the war, an l don't take nothin' for one leg job, seei-on account O de wear an tear on me feelings-seei'' he added slyly.
 And he swaggered away with an air of independence that struck the two men speeches. with amazement. New York Herald.

HORRORS.
Awounded Man Buried Alive in the indian
 Country.
SENTENCED TO DEATH.
The Executioners We're Drunk and Only Wounded the Doomed Man, But He Was Buried Just
 the Same.

ARDMoRE, I. T., June 3 3.--Albert Bonnie, United States commissioner of this city, who for some time was stationed at Wowoko, capital of the Seminole Nation, relates an inhu- man and barbarous incident con- nected with an execution at Wowoko. It Is the custom to execute those con- victed of capital crime by shooting. Executioners are two members of the national light horse detailed for the purpose. In the instance re- ferred to the victim was led to a rock upon which these judicial kill ings take place. The two light horsemen, the executioners. were too drunk to hit barn, and their shots but wounded the human target.
 They left the ground at once and a negro brought a rough box coffin to the side of the wounded man, and proceeded, assisted by three other negroes, to put the body in the box, and in an effort to close the lid the victim pushed and kicked against it, so the task was only accomplished by two of the men sitting on the lid, while the other drove nails with utmost non chalance. The interment was then made, but little unfavorable com ment was excited among the many who were apprised of the horrible affair.

Mummifying a King.

It is now six years since Alphon- 20 XII, King of Spain, died. It is generally supposed that he is buried, but he is said not to be. Carefully wrapped up in fine linen his body still lies upon slab close to a stream that flows through the Pu- drido, the name of the cavern on the side of the mountain upon which the Escurial stands. It will be left there until it has all the pe- culiarities that belong to mummy. Then it will be placed in the niche prepared for it in the wonderful jasper vault under the great cupola of the Escurial, where the remains of all the kings of Spain are deposited. Some royal bodies, and particularly that of the father and mother of Queen Isabella, remained for twenty-five years on that same slab before they were considered fit for removal to the grand vault.

He Kept H,s Word.

My dear,'' said young and fashionable New York lady to her plain old. fashioned husband, q hope you are not going to talk at dinner before all the company about how you went barefooted when a boy. Every time we have company you shock the people by talking about your bare feet when you were a boy"
 My dear, I'll not mention my bare feet"
 He kept his promise. He did not say a word about his barefeet, but he talked long and eloquently about having been obliged to walk back ward out of church on one occasion, owing to the dilapidated condition of his unmentionables, consequent on his indigent condition. Texas Siftings.

APPALLING ACCIDENT.
Forty Men suffocated by Fire in silve,
 Mine.

roFty Men SunOcAteu by Fire m n Stser
 Mine.
 PRAGUE, June 1.--An appalling accident occurred at the famous Berkenberg silver mine, near Prazi- bram, in Bohemia. Timbers used in supporting the roof of the mine caught fire, and the flames spread from one part of the workings to another until the whole interior of the mine was mass of fire. Es- cape of men working in the mine was cut off, and, though it is not known how many of them were killed, il is admitted that the list of the dead may be large. After a long struggle the fire was extinguished and volunteers went down into the mine to rescue any who might have lived through the confagration. The rescuing party found no trace of life, but they dis covered twelve bodies which were sent to the surface. The volunteers are still at work in the mine.
 A later dispatch from Prazibram states that 500 men were working in the mine at the time. All but forty of them succeeded in making their escape. Fourteen bodies have been recovered. Many others who are seriously injured, were brought to the surface. The work of rescue was suspended during the night, owing to the suffocating gases with which the mine is filled. It was re- sumed at an early hour this morning.

Editor Dana's Essay on First Love.

Probably the majority of men do not marry their first loves. The first love of a man frequently, if not unusually, captures his heart before he has reached full maturity. Of tentimes she is older than he--a woman, while he is barely beyond boyhood; and this youthful passion may be the most purely ideal that ever masters him, and the most en- thralling. It may be love simply, with no thought of marriage and possession, the worship as of god dess. It passes away, and there succeeds in due time the natural and healthy and masculine sentiment which leads man to woo woman as bride. The first served as an educator for the second the fanciful made way for the real.-New York Sun,

WRAPPED WITH SNAKES.
Adventure of Farmer Who Descende

Adventure of Farmer Who Descended
 Into an old We'll.
 Alexander Krolsky, a farmer near Derby Hill, Conn, had an ex- perience with snakes that has rem dered him temporarily insane, and the physicians are not sure that he will ever regain his reason. Krolsky went down into we'll on his farm for the purpose of cleaning it out. He had been down but few minutes when he shouted to his cousin, who had lowered him, to draw him up. The man began pulling up the rope. When he had helped Krolsky nearly to the top he looked down and saw that several black and brown water snakes were wound around Krolsky's arm and body.
 The sight of the serpents scared the man, and, dropping the rope, he ran bowling away. Krolsky's shrieks were heard by laborers a short distance away, and they ran to the well. Krolsky was battling desperately with the snakes. He was quickly helped out. From his body five immense snakes were torn and killed. His mind is now de- ranged. The old well in which he encountered the reptiles is appar- ently full of them. A lantern low cred into it revealed a countless number of serpent heads protruding from the wall.

vinegar must be dried off before the wick is used, or it will be difficult to get light at all, but with this sim pie precaution great improvement in the light can be secured. A small lump of camphor dropped in the oil reservoir has the same effect, but camphor has a tendency to- ward making the lamp smoke, while vinegar has contrary tendency, and is hence more desirable in every way.
