"Who is Euphrasia?" called the
patriarch. "Who knows n woman
bearing such n name? If anyone can
answer let him speak"
From the priests to the lowest of the
assembled thousands the question:
who is Euphrasia?" ran round the
church. No one answered. At length,
while the emperor sat mute and
amazed, miserable fellow who
cleaned the marble floor stepped forth
and said:
Imperial Caesar, TO whom am un-
worthy 10 raise my eyes, know n
woman with such name, but she Is
almost bedriddcn. She lives in n little
house near one of the walls of the
church"
Bring her hither," commanded the
emperor, and straightway pages and
chamberlains rushed out and soon re-
appeared carrying an aged woman
who trcmbled in every limb.
"ls your name EuphrasiaP'' asked the
emperor
Eyes, mighty emperor, it is"
what do You know of that inscrip-
tion?' and he pointed aloft to the
large letters on the vault.
Nothing, my lord, nothing!"
but you see your name ON the
church. II stands there instead of
mine. What have you done toward
the building Of the church,"
Great king, nothing My lord moclSs
his poor servant"
Not at all" replied the emperor
They tell me you live near. Think!
Have you done nothing, spoke moth
ing, thought nothing to give you this
claim?"
Majesty" she said, there is little
act, but 1t is so small am ashamed to
trouble my lord with its mention"
Speak, ! command you," said JUS
tinian. Fear not. Tell me ALL"
Then she told how, as she lay on her
bed In her little house, she heard with
sorrow the travail of the oxen and
mules, carrying the marble and brick
and beams up the steep hill, and her
heart was sore within her; and how,
when she grew better, the thought
struck her:
"Who knows II | cannot do some
thing to ease their pain, the poor dumb
beasts, SO patient in their woe! At
least | win try"
So she took her bed and bore It into
the road and scattered the straw from
IL on the steep ascent, 1t was but II
little, but 10! as she worked the straw
seemed to grow and multiply and cover
the whole road, and from that time
the oxen passed pleasantly with their
loads, aud she heard no more distress.
The tears were in Justinian's eyes,
and he said in Il gentle voice;
Let the name of Euphrasia stand;
she is moro worthy than |, for of her
little she gave all she had"

A NEW INDUSTRY.
Arrival OF i Hfty-IOn Furnace at
the Reduction Works.

The tiftyton mating furnace or
dered some time ago for the Reno
Reduction Works arrived yesterday
from Denver, Colorado, and will be
set up ready for action as speedily as
possible, This will be the only fur
mace of this kim west of Butte City,
Montana. When this furnace, with
all its attendant appliances, is in
place the Reduction Works at Reno
will be in a position to treat all
classes of ore as successfully and as
cheaply as that kind of work can be
done in any country.
The greater portion of the ore
found in Nevada mines is very base
and requires something different from
the ordinary process for successful
treatment, and as suitable works for
the purpose have never been estab-
lished in this State heretofore such
ores had to be shipped to Salt Lake,
Denver, or elsewhere for treatment,
This was very expensive and as re-
suit low grade ores could not be
touched. 1t is the purpose of the
Reno Reduction Works people to
change this order of things and make
it possible for a Nevada miner to
have his ore worked at home, how
ever base it may be, and at reason
able cost.
r. d, Clarke, who is in charge of
the works, is a metallurgist cf high
rank and has had many years ex-
perience in the treatment of refrac-
tory ores IN Colorado, Montana and
Nevada, and under his supervision
the Reno Reduction Works will
surely succeed.

ka to the Isthmus, and had never
carried a weapon.
Several times he had been in tight
places with Indians, but always got
out.
His telescopes and theodolites al
ways frightened the Indians. He
would let them look through his tel
escope or field glass and after that he
could run the tribe,
These things always inspired them
with awe, and they regarded him as
some emissary from another world.
Let an Indian look at the moon
through telescope and you can run
the primaries of his tribe from that
on.
