If we knew what forms were fainting

We would haste with eager footsteps,
We would work with willing hands
Bearing cups Of cooling water,
Planting rods Of shading palms.
IF we knew when friends around Us

We would clasp our arms around them
Looking ON them through our tears;
Tender words of love eternal
We would whisper in their ears.
If we knew what lives were darkened
By some thoughtless words Of ours,
Which had eyer lain among them
Like the frost among the flowers,
Oh. with what sincere repentings,
With what anguish OF regret,
While our eyes were overt1owing,
We would say, ''Forgive. Forget!''

COMING TO BLOWS.

A force OF constabies halted the
procession at the Thames embaDk~
ment aud told them they could go
no further. Tue unfortunates hud.
died together to discuss what the.g
would do. One of them began to
address the others. A stout we'll
fed policeman pushed INTO the
crowd and seized the orator by the
neck-the fellow had no collar.
Some Of the unemployed got angry
at this interference and tried to
fight the police.
A general melee, ensued, several
of the rioters being apparently anx-
ious to oe arrested, with the result
OF getting something to eat. The
police land abont them with their
hattons, and one of the crowd was
SO badly hurt that he had to oe TAX
en- to hospital. Others were more
or less injured. Tue procession was
then abandoned, 1t being made ap-
parent TO the crowd that they would
not be permitted to enter the pres
cucts Of Parliament.

ALMOST STARVING.

The cablegram to the New York
Herald Jan. 31st, after giving de-
tails of the assemblying of Parlia-
ment, the Queens speecn and
other matters of interest, said:
"About two hundred and fifty
wretcbed looking victims of poverty
and privation gathered on Tower
Hill this morning and resolved to
make a display of their rags and
misery before the lords and cons
moners IN Parliament. The mob
had no settled plan of procedure;
they were too hungry for that, but
one end all they started IN the di-
rection of the parliament houses,
the stronger and more resolute taxi
ing the lead. 1t was a pitiful pro-
cession, and excited the sympthy
and surprise Of spectators. The
police at first did not interfere,
thinking that the gathering would
dispetse very soon, but when it be-
came apperant that the famine
stricken wretches really meant to
make a scene before Parliament the
police determined to stop them.

The Railroad Signals.

The uninitiated are apt to sup.
pose that there is a great deal OF
mystery about railroad signals, but
in reality they are very simple and
are practically the same all over the
United States. One whistle means
"down brakes" two signify "off
brakes, three means that the train
is about to back. Continued whis-
ties mean danger, while rapid, short
whistles mean cattle alarm. The
hand-signaHing is just as simple.
A sweeping parting of the hands on
a level with the eyes means go
ahead" a downward motion with
the extended arms means "stop,
while beckoning calls for the train
to move in the direction indicated
by the hand. The waving of q red
rag, or a red flag by the road, means
danger ahead" A red flag carried
on an engine means that another
engine is following close behind.
To raise and lower a lantern at
night means ''go ahead,"a a lantern
swung at right angles across the
track means "stop," swung in . cir
Gle signifies "back the train. "-Ex.

Novel Wolf Destroyer.

J. NJ. Campbell, the most extern
sive sheep man in West Texas, has
lost % per cent of his flock during
the past twelve months. They were
all killed by wolves. He now has
$4,000 sheep on his ranch in Val
verde county, and the wolves con-
tinue to prey upon them: Over
100 wolves have been killed on his
ranch since January. Mr.. Camp
bell endeavored to get rid Of the
pests by poisoning them, but met
with little success. He has now hit
upon novel plan for exterminat-
ing every wolf in western Texas.
It is by the incubation of a disease
among them. In order to do this
he trapped ten wolves about two
months ago and penned them up
With dog which was badly afflicted
with the mango. The wolves soon
caught the disease and are now
thoroughly covered with the parl-
sites which produce it. They will

few days, and Mr.. Campbell expects
the disease to spread among the
wolves SO rapidly, that there will
not be one of them left in Texas in
two years. 1t was never known be-

the mango. They live together in

To Tell tho Value of Placer Mine.

Some calculations of what would
constitute a paying placer claim
under the changed condition Of
affairs may be of interest and value
to those who are turning their at
tention to such properties.
A cubic yard of gravel will. aver.
age about eighty pans of dirt. II
the property has been opened up in
good shape each man will be able
to shovel into the boxes about ten
cubic yards of gravel in q shift. II
this gravel will average all through
one cent to the pan. the result will
be that, allowing $4.0O per day for
wages, supplies, tools, wear and
tare, ETC., to each man, the result
will be net profit to the owner of
$500 per day per man. If q pipe
head is used it is safe to calculate
that the result will be the handling
of about three times the amount of
gravel per man.
Upon this basis it is easy to cal
culate the returns that may be ex-
pected from any thoroughly pros
pected placer claim after it is
opened and ready for work.-Nel-
son {B. G.. Miner.
