He Had Become Resigned

A guest in a mountain hotel, who had been studying the view for some time with map, compass and field glass, was unable to identify one large peak in the distance and asked the landlord what it was. The answer was: ''I never take sides in these mat ters. When I came here knew, or thought I knew, every mountain in sight; but my guests never would agree with me, and would always get angry if I went to the support of some man whose observations agreed with mine, so of late years have left them to fight it out among themselves" "But what peak do you think it is?" Mount Arlington" ''It's too far south for that" ''There you are, you see. Now, you really must allow me to know nothing about it."

"GettIng Into a scrape."

The red and fallow deer which for merly roamed through the English for ests had a habit of scraping up the earth with their forefeet to the depth of several inches, sometimes even of half a yard. The stranger passing through these woods was frequently exposed to the danger of tumbling into one of the hollows, when he might be said truly to be lin scrape." The college students of Cambridge, in their little perplexities, picked up and ap- piled the phrase to other perplexing matters which had brought man morally into a fix.

HOW THE BUFFALoES DIED.
The Terrible Destructive Methods of In
 dian Hunters.

A story teller of half century ago gave an account of terrible method which the Indians used in destroying the buffalo, and one which must have been the means of snufing out an in- calculable number of lives.
 The red hunters, he said, were wont to lie concealed in the vicinity of some high precipice, and when a herd of bisons came roaming thither in search of food they would send one or two braves out among them, concealed in the effigy of buffalo and covered with it's head, hide and horns. The false buffalo being stationed between the herd and the precipice, the Indians would surround the herd, as nearly as possible, and then rush from their concealment shouting like demons. The animals being alarmed, and sec ing no way open but in the direction of the false buffalo, would run toward it, and the false buffalo moving quick ly to the edge of the cliff went over, but by some preconceived arrange ment took refuge in a cave, cleft or shelf. The leaders of the herd would pause on the brink, seeing death be- fore them; but those behind could not see the abyss, and would press madly forward, so that those in front were forced to leap to the rocky ground hundreds of feet below, while those behind were goaded forward by the hunters until they became mad with fear, and followed in to the same end. The Indians then selected as much meat as they wished and left the rest to the wolves.

THE uNLuCKY OPAL.
Father Mollinger Believer in the Bane-
 full Influence of the Gem.

full Influence of the Gem.
 The belief that the opal sheds a baneful influence found supporter even in the late Father Mollinger, the venerable priest physician of world wide fame, says the Pittsburgh Press. Almost since the opal was known su- perstition has chung to it and it has been so held by persons in every condi- tion of life. The way it became known that the famous priest held the super stition is as follows:
 Last winter one of Alleghany's lead ing physicians lay sick for months. Dr. Cyrus King attended him. The two had been friends all their lives and Dr. King watched almost night and day until he brought his friend back to health. On his recovery he presented Dr. King with an opal set in pearls. The pin was a unique piece of iewelry and was very handsome.
 Dr. King was also physician for Father Mollinger. One night, short ly before the great priests death, the doctor was summoned to the pretty parsonage on Mount Troy. The aged priest was weak and lay there appar- ently powerless. He asked the doctor to come again the next day, but Dr. King informed him he was to leave for New York that night.
 The venerable priest was lying on his bed, with his eyes half closed. Just then an attendant turned up the light and Dr. King moved forward to say good-by. At that the priest caught sight of the ever-changing colors of the baleful stone.
 "What, an opal!" he gasped, half rising in his bed. ''It's sure to bring harm to yourself and your friends. Why do you wear it?''
 The doctor explained the story of the gem, but all the time the venerable father grew more excited. Finally he said: "If you wear that stone to New York you will never come back alive"
 The doctor insisted on wearing it, however, and the priest took the gem and blessed it. Then, returning it, he said: "When you come back l will give you pin worth wearing"
 On his returning the aged priest was as good as his word, and the doctor was presented with a magnificent dia- mond. Dr. King took the pin home, intending to remove the opal and put in the diamond, but he forgot, and when hurriedly summoned to the deathbed of the great priest he still wore the opal. The father at once nO- ticed it and remarked: ''Its flashes seemed to make me weaker; the stone bodes ill." Gradually he sank, and the doctor bent over to catch the beating of his heart. The father'seyes opened and rested on the ftful colorings of the strange stone, and watching it his spirit went out.

OUR MONEY IN MEXICO.
Americans Have More Invested There
 Than Any Other Nation.

In the three years ending with De- cember 31, 1892, American investments in Mexico amounted to S345, ,310, ,000. Dur ing the same time English investments amounted to S213 3,500, ,000 At one time English investments in Mexico far ex- ceeded those of Americans, but if we may judge by the record of the three years named the latter will soon, if they have not already done so, occupy the leading place.
 American capital in Mexico has been invested very largely in mines and in railroads. During the last three years Americans invested $S3, ,265, ,O00 and Englishmen $27, ,950,000 in Mexican mines. During the same time Amer jeans invested $176, ,075, ,OO0 and English men S26, ,250, ,000 in railroads. English men have, however, given more atten- tion to colonization schemes and to land investments. They have taken the lead also in mercantile ventures, their investments in that direction be- ing $SS, ,990, 900, as against S9,555, 900 by Americans. In connection with man. ufactures and material improvements Americans have invested great deal more capital than Englishmen, the amounts being for the former $6S, ,15O, 900 and the latter only 4,S12 1000.
 The growth of American influence in Mexico has been very rapid since rail- road communication between the United States and the City of Mexico was established, and traveller through the southern republic can see the re- suits of this in almost all the railroad towns. The increased intercourse be- tween the two nations is having good effect upon public opinion in Mexico concerning the people of the United States. At one time there was great deal of distrust of Americans; but all though there is some of this left, it is gradually dying out.
 Formerly the typical American in Mexico was of the rough frontier class. But since the completion of the rail- roads better classes of Americans have gone into the country. The invest ments of American capital have caused intelligent American business men, and especially mining engineers and managers, to make their homes in Mexico; and thus the people of that country have had their eyes opened to the true character of the better class of the American people.

Tobacco in Early Times.

According to John Aubery, who wrote celebrated work on 'the very queere Indian weede," there was time when tobacco was worth it's weight in silver. Among other things Aubery says: "Sir Walter Raleigh was the first that brought tobacco into Eng land, and in our parts-North Wits it came first in fashion through Sir Walter Long. They had silver pipes, but the commoners used a walnut she'll It was sold then for it's weight in silver. have heard some of our old yoeman neighbors say that when they went to Chippenham to omarket they al- ways culled out their shillings to lay in the scales against the tobacco. Now the customers of it are among the greatest that his majesty hath"

A Fault Indicator.

An ingenious instrument for auto matically indicating the place of a fault on underground conductors is be- ing used in Berlin. An alarm is sounded nt the central station the moment a fault is developed, and the location is indicated at the same moment. The usual pressure wires are used, and are so connected that a certain difference of potential exists between the copper conductor and the pressure wire. When a cable is damaged the short circuit which then occurs between the pres sure wire and the copper conductor produces a change in the voltage exist ing between them, which, in turn, actuates relay and an alarm at the station. The relay also controls an annunciator, which denotes the posi- tion of the fault by the dropping of a square devoted to the district affected. The further efficiency of the under ground electric service in Berlin is maintained by ground detectors at the station, which show the condition of the insulation, not only of the whole network, but of every single district.

MAGAZINE RIFLES IN WAR.
Effective in Skilled Hands, Rut Not Valua'

Effective in Skilled Hands, Rut Not Valua-
 ble for Raw Recruits.
 A belated report on the Gillian revo- lution of 1891 has been made to the navy department by Lieut.. James Fl. Sears and Ensign B. W. Wells, IT,, of the navy, and the material has been collected in pamphlet, and issued in a limited edition by the office of naval intelligence as No. of the war series of information from abroad. The re- port, says the New York Herald, is prepared from personal observation, statements of participants, official papers. and from presumably authen- tic publications. The publication is carefully-worded account of the opera tions on land and sea without the com ment which has made previous num- bers from this office interesting. The pamphlet will have place in military libraries simply as a cOnveniently-ar- ranged account of the revolution. It gives few details of strategic condi- tions and the development of the con- stitutional and opposing forces. The book is illustrated by maps, charts, plans and copies of photographs. Of ficial papers are reprinted, including the reports on the sinking of the Blan- co Encalada. There are six appendices, in which are included current mani festoes, notes, etc. The only really i'm portant comment is that contained in the appendix on the Mannlicher rifle, which appears to have served the au- .-,EA off with the sole suggestion derivable from the Gillian revolution. The note illus trates, in the language of an unnamed ''one who was with the army at the time," the disadvantages of magazine rifles in the hands of untrained men, and their remarkable efficiency after the troops become acquaintedwith the WeapOQ

A Botanical Freak.

The Malayan peninsula is the home of an extraordinary botanical curiosity in the shape of flower which is sim ply a blossom without leaves, vine or stem and which grows as a parasite on decaying wood, etc. It is known to the natives by name equivalent to a ''won- der-wonder." This extraordinary flow erlike growth is sometimes as much as three feet in diameter, with a globular central cup having capacity of about five to seven quarts. This cup distills a fetid liquid with an odor similar to that of decaying meat. Botanists be- heve that the odor is calculated to at tract flies and secure proper fertiliza- tinn

BEAUTIFUL WOMEN IN INDIA.
Combination of Good Points Often Found
 in the Far East.


 in the Far East.
 It is said that many of the women of India are beautiful, especially in Cash mir, but that it is hard to get sight of them and almost impossible to ob tain a picture of one of them. Either they or their husbands appear to look with rooted distrust on the photogra- pher, and even when their photographs are taken they rarely give permission for copies to be sold. In typical Hin du beauty the skin is just dark enough to give rich, soft appearance to the complexion, the features are regular, the eyes mild and black and shaded by long silken lashes; the hands and feet are small and elegantly formed, the demeanor is modest, the manners gen. tie, the voice low and sweet. Such com bination of good points may not often be met with. but when it is who shall say what havoc is wrought among the hearts of male beholders? There are good looking women occasionally among the middle class Hindus as we'll as among the upper ten, and even among the low castes the faces are sometimes very pleasing. Many Hindu woman who has perhaps little pretention to beauty of face has never theless the step and carriage of a prin- cess; and if one is not too fastidious about perfection of eyes and mouths and noses her figure, as she walks down the street with her load on ner head, is truly a beautiful object. Jew elry is often worn to excess in India, as among other orientals, and the hor- rid nose ring is sometimes so large that it has to be fastened back to the ear by delicate chain to keep it from interfering with the mouth.

BRAIN WORK AND VITALITY.
Men Accustomed to Thinking Are Harder
 to Kill Than Others.

to XIII Than Others.
 You may kill man with anxiety very quickly; but it is difficult to kill him with work, especially if he re- tains the power, which most men of intellectual occupations more or less possess, of sleeping nearly at will, and without torpor. The man who has used his brain all his life, say for six hours day, has, in fact, trained his nerve power and placed it beyond the reach of early decay or that kind of feebleness which makes so many ap- parently healthy men succumb so readily to attacks of disease. Doctors know the differences among men in this respect quite well, says the Lon don Speaker, and many of them acknowledge that the ''habit of sur viving" which they find in their first patients arises from two causes-one, which used to be always pleaded, be- ing that soundness of physical con- stitution which some men enjoy by hereditary right, and the other, some recondite form of brain power, seldom exhibited, except under strong excite ment, by any but those who through out life have been compelled to think and, so to speak, use their thoughts as other men use their fragments and muscles If such a man is tired of life, medicine will not save him; but, as rule, his will, consciously or un- consciously, compels the trained nerve power to struggle on. Whether the brain can actually give power to the muscles is not certain, though the en- ormous strength sometimes developed in last rally looks very like it; but that it can materially affect vitality is quite certain, and has been acknowl- edged by the experienced in all ages.

Domino Mathematics.

One of the most wonderful examples in mathematics is that relating to the various combinations in dominoes. Dr. Bern, Frankfort Germany mathe- matician of national reputation, has calculated that two persons playing the game ten hours day, and making four moves in minute, could continue one hundred and eighteen million years 11s,0OO,000 without exhausting all the combinations of the game, the total of which is PAS, ,52S, S,211, $40.
