A GOLDEN SHOWER.
The Diseoverer of the Big Horn Mine

The Discoverer of the Big Horn Mine
Leaves Fortune to a Shoemaker.
Patrick Ryan of this town, shoemak-
er, single, 80 years of age, has received
notice of the death of his brother in Chi
cago. BY his death he is the only heir.
It was early in 1S49 that James Ryan,
then young man, left Milford in COM
pany with Richard Quinlan and with
hundreds of others went to the golden
gate to seek their fortune in the gold
fields of California.
They remained there for several years,
but the mine they worked in, although
rich in ore, was far from healthy and
was particularly bad for the eyes, so
much so that young Ryan's eyes were
affected and he was forced to come east
to have them attended to, for he was al
most blind.
Young Ryan recovered his sight after
q few years, but the east was rather
tame for him, and again he went west.
His second trip was to Colorado. The
silver fever had just broken out, and
LeadviIle was not known. Denver was
a town of few houses when James Ryan
arrived there with companion. They
were not long prospecting before they
struck a mine that proved a great find.
They sold it for $4,000. This was the
first big money that Ryan ever made,
although it was but small amount as
compared with what he afterward made
in the mining world.
He remained but short time in Dem
yer, when, In company with his partner,
they went to Utah, where they prospect
ed for nearly year, but were only sue
cessful in getting small finds. They were
all about to bid Utah goodby when they
struck traces of silver, the ore proving
the finest they ever met with.
The seam was followed and proved
better than they ever dreamed they
would see. This was no other than the
Big Horn silver mine that they sold for
O., 900, 900.
The money was equally divided be-
tween the partners. The money market
always had charm for Ryan, and he
lost a great deal among the bulls and
bears In Chicago. More than once he
was tightly squeezed by old man Hutch
inson, who was in his prime in those
days.
But the hidden treasure beyond Che
Rockies had charms also for him that he
could not overcome, and after losing
what to many man would be called a
good sized fortune he returned to his
old love of adventure and prospecting.
Again he proved successful and be-
came the owner of several mines that
brought him immense wealth.
Mr.. Ryan does not know the exact
amount of his brothers wealth, nor will
he for few days to come. Mr.. Percy
Shea of Denver is to have charge of set

ARIsTocRATIc NURSES.
Fashionable English Danes Learning T.
Be Practical In the Sickroom.

Fashionable English DANES Learning to
Be Practical In the Sickroom.
Two or three years ago the Prince and
Princess of Wales distributed badges
and prizes to large number Of profess
sional nurses and afterward entertained
them royalty at Marlborough House. It
was expected that fashionable danes
would show their appreciation Of the
royal example by taking up nursing as a
recreation, but little was done until
few months ago, when the National
Health society opened classes for the
benefit of the aristocracy, at which
something more is taught than coQuet-
fish arrangement of caps and aprons.
The idea is to teach ladies the value of
good nursing and enable them to learn
something about fit food for invalids and
how to give first assistance to the in
jured, In all of which, it seems, Ouch
esses, countesses and the like are la
mentally deficient.
The Duchess of Bedford is particularly
active in the work. She has placed her
fine house In Belgrave square at the dis
posal of the society's lectures on every
Wednesday during the winter season,
and, as the course includes an afternoon
tea, the attendance is expected to be
large. The proceedings should certainly
be interesting, as it is announced that
each lecture will be practically illus
trated with a patient, bedding, etc."
The pioneer among the aristocracy of
nursing and sanitation was Lady Brooke,
who, with her husband, enjoys the par
ticular friendship of the Prince of Wales.
Her ladyship has for years been accus-
toned to keep sharp eye on the water
supply and sanitary arrangements of the
villages on her estates in the counties of
Warwick and Essex, often to the deep
disgust of the cottagers, who claimed
the inherent right of Briton to please
himself in such matters, and who OBJ
jected strongly to being coerced into
cleanliness on pain of eviction. Puritan
ical people have sometimes said hard
things of Lady Brooke. 1t is right that
credit should be given her in this mat
ter.-Londou Letter.

Princess Hohenlohe, the wife of the
governor general of Alsace-Lorraine, in
herited from her uncle, Russian gener-
al, estates in Russia worth 10000, 900 or
10000, 600 rubles. Under the Russian law
foreign nonresidents cannot hold proper
ty, and the princess is compelled to sell
her estates at once. She asked the czar
to grant her little time. as the financial
stringency, which prevails in Russia as
well as in this country, has made real es-
tate hard to dispose of. The czar, how
ever, for political reasons, refuses to
grant the extension, and the woman may
be able to realize only $4,000, 900 or 20,-
600, 900 rubles from her heritage.

A TRAPPIsT REFEcToRY.
Cold and Gloomy Surroundings and
Seanty BiII of Fare


Scanty Bill of Fare.
We reached the Trappist refectory. A
great cold room, with whitewashed
walls and five long, narrow tables, with
benches on each side, stretching from
end to end, was the place where the
monks took their very frugal meals.
The tables were laid for the first meal.
There were no cloths, and it is almost
needless to add that there were no nap
kins, although these are considered SO
essential in France that even in the most
wretched auberge one is usually laid be-
fore the guest. Trappists, however, have
little need of them.
At each place were a wooden spoon
and fork, plate, jug of water, and
another iug-a smaller one-of beer, and
a porringer for soup, which is the chief
diet of the Trappists. Very thin soup it
is, the ingredients being water, chopped
vegetables, bread and little oil or but
ter.
Until few years ago no oily matter,
whether vegetable or animal, was al
lowed in the soup, nor was it permissi-

more than one meal day, but the ne
cessity of relaxing the rule little was
realized Now, during the six summer
months of the year, there are two meals
a day-namely, at II and 8, but in win
ter there is still only one that is called a
meal, and this is at 4. There is, how
ever, gouter-just something to keep
the stomach from collapsing- 10 in
the morning. No fish, nor flesh, nor ami
NAL product, except cheese and butter,
is eaten by these Trappists unless they
fall i'll, and then they have meat or any
thing else that they may need to make
them well. There is, however, very lit
tie sickness among them.
The living of each Trappist probably
costs no more than sixpence a day to the
community. Assuming that the money
brought into the common fund by those
who have private fortune-the fathers,
as a rule, are men of some Independent
means = covers the establishment ex-
penses, and the taxation imposed by the
state, there must remain considerable
profit on the work of each individual,
whether he labors IN the telds or IN the
dairy and cheeserooms, or concerns him
self with the sales and the accounts, or,
like the porter at the gate, tests with an
instrument the richness of the milk that
is brought in by the peasants, lest they
who have been befriended by the monks
in sickness and perjury should steal from
them in return.
To devote this surplus obtained by
life of sacrifice, compared to which the
material misery of the beggars whom
they relieve is luxury, to the lessening
of human suffering, to the encourage
ment of the family. offering the hand Of
charity to the worthy and the unworthy,
expecting no honor from all this, and
not even gratitude, is life that makes
that of the theoretical philanthropists
and humanitarian philosophers look ra-
ther barren.-Temple Bar.

THE HAWAIIAN STAMP CRAZE.


A Situation That Attracted the Attention
of Philate1ists the World Over.
OF all the queer developments that
have arisen in connection with the de-
thronement of Queen Liliuokalani none
Is stranger than the excitement which
attended the speculation in the provision
al stamps issued by the present govern
ment. This speculation is not confined
to stamp collectors and dealers, but is
INDUCED in by residents of Honolulu and
citizens of this and other countries alike,
even one of the Spreckels family being
credited with having purchased and laid
aside 1000 worth of these labels for
future profit.
1t was anticipated that the provisional
government would be of short duration,
and that the improvised stamps were to
have life as short as the temporary gov
eminent, and this led to the scramble
for stamps, as it was presumed that they
would become exceedingly rare and val
liable.
There were 21 varieties issued, includ-
ing all the perforated stamps issued by
the Hawaiian government since 1854,
ranging in value from cent to 81. Each
of these was overprinted, or surcharged,
to use philatelic term, with the words
provisional Govt, 1893, " in three lines,
each word and date taking a separate
line.
Some of the stamps were surcharged
with black letters and others with red,
all of one denomination being overprint-
cd in the same color. But the portion Of
one value, the 10 cent mauve, was sur
charged in black and the remainder in
red, there being twice as many of the
latter surcharged as of the former. AS
but few thousands of this particular
stamp were ON hand, they were soon
bought up, and rs much as s. each was
paid for a specimen of the black sur
charge. Spectators soon bought up
the supply of several Of the other values,
and it was not long after the date Of
their issue that complete set of these
stamps, which had a face value of 1901,
was selling for $i5.
Recently, however, some Of the specu-
Iators have deemed it wise TO unload,
and the entire set can now be purchased
for $40, still leaving a handsome profit
ON the original cost.
Recent advices from Honolulu show
that the mania for stamp collecting has
had somewhat Of sensational effect
there. b. E. Porter. a brother of the

The poultry man who has secured
supply Of small potatoes and other roots,
usually obtainable at small cost in the
orchards, is wise provider. The Rocky
Mountain Husbandman says: If poultry
breeders and fanciers would believe how
valuable and succulent a provision for
chicken stock rutabagas, beets, potatoes
and carrots are when cooked, either
boiled or steamed, and mixed with the
rye and cornmeal given the birds, this
excellent style of root feeding would be
far more generally practiced and to the
certain improvement Of the ordinary
condition of the birds We cannot enter
into scientific analysis of vegetable
food, nor is this necessary. But all ex-
perience with the above mentioned roots,
as we recommend their use, has proved
highly satisfactory whenever and wher-
ever the experiment has been tried with
our knowledge.

Should European vessels land their

sion that such act would constitute q
cause of offense to the United States

an offense. If Europe can without let
