Icannot conclude without calling to your
mind the fact that after all has been said or
gained or achieved or wrought by human
tongue or brain or skill, that the human
weakhng has no cause to be selfsatisfed, or
pulled up with the pride of self, for without
the grace of Him who formed the eye and
planted the ear and gifted the brain and dow
cred the tongue with eloquence, the arm
with strength and the hand with skill, that
nothing could have been achieved. Let then
your mind be humble and your heart filled
with reverence.

RUSSIAN IMMIGRANTS AS THEATRE
GOERS.

"a great deal is written" says DURANDAL
in the Enquirer, 'about the restitution of the
Russian and Polish people who have been
pouring into New York in such great numbers
during tho past few years, but an evening
spent in that portion of the Esst Side which
they inhabit will convince any impartial OBJ
server that there is not liable to be any great
amount of suffering among them this winter

would be hard to find any colony living in the
poorer quarters Of the of the town which give
evidence of possessing SO much ready money
and contriving to get so much amusement out
of life as these same Hebrews, whom the Car
has driven from his domain.
There are but 25, 900 of these people in New
York just now, and they form colony in
Ludlow, Essex, Orchard and contiguous
streets in the very heart of what used to de
called the Eighth Assembly District and
which is region celebrated for the activity
with which the political cauldron boils the
year around. AS each one of these immigrants
has vote the political leaders are careful to
cultivate them assiduously, and already two or
three statesmen of then own race have risen
and made themselves factors of no small inn

pie do not figure in the fashionable audiences
that fill the Metropolitan Opera House on
great nights, but they are generous patrons Of
their own theatres, fact which Is well evin-
ced by the prosperity of three playhouses
which are devoted exclusively to pieces given
in their own tongue, conglomeation known
a. Yiddish. Two of these theatres are among
the largest playhouses in the country, and
scarcely night passes that they are not filled
to OVERLOOKING with audiences, which are
drawn entirely from the little colony of 25, 200
souls. Fancy for moment an American town
Of Is, 600 inhabitants giving liberal support to
two enormous playhouses and one small one
and that for six nights in week. Fancy that
town having population composed for the
most part of poor Woodworking tailors and
street peddlers and then you will have an
idea of The strong hold that the drama has on
these people. Nor are these theatres low
priced places of amusement On the contrary
one of them charges higher rate of admission
than it did two seasons ago, when it was q
combination house, playing only American
attractions. Now the seats cost from twenty
five cents to l apiece, and very few of them
are empty when the curtain goes up

Europe and they all play on the common
wealth plan, each receiving certain portion
Of the gross receipts, according to his or her
merits as an artist All sorts of plays are pro-
duced during the season, and q great many Of
them are dramas or operas founded ON events
in tbs Bible. "Jephtha's Daughter" is one of
the most popular Of these pieces and it is based
on the well known episode in early Jewish his
tory. As performed here it is an opera in four
acts and, of course, as sop to the prejudices
of modern theatre goers, it ends happily.
Another favorite representation is liking

minions of the Gar, and it was during this
scene that men, women and children in the
audience wept and wrung their hands as if
they were at the funeral of beloved friend,
rather than in place of amusement.
So great is the love of theatre-going among
these people that children become regular hab-
itues Of the play-houses when they are about
five years of age, and infants in arms may be
seen in the audience any night in the week.

A Salt Lake City dispatch OF the LIST
inst. says: Ravenous mountain lions
proving about the streets Of q city Of
65 1000 inhabitants is an unusual sight,
but this is the spectacle that has Gre
ated CONSERVATION among the residents
Of the outlying portions Of the city
during the past few days. Not only
lions, but coyotes and other wild
beasts have been driven down the IAN
yons that open into the valley by the
extraordinary SHOWS.
The lions are especially feared, as
they are becoming very bold. Yester-
day morning some laborers working
on a boulevard in the northern SUBJ
urbs OF the city saw two large lions
walking leisurely up the hillside. II
vas discovered that they had killed q
horse, the partly devoured carcass Of
which was found near the City Gene

This morning Of the ferocious
animals came out Of City Greek can
yon, the mouth Of which is within four
blocks Of the business center of the

Of the northern and eastern portion Of

his right Of way, and his tracks, meas
uring over six inches in length, could
be seen in the snow and mud all day.

Deep Mining Project.

Commenting upon the suggestion
that Government aid should be ex-
tended to explore the flooded levels OF
the Comstock lode the Homer Index
has the following: The old project to
invoke Government aid to explore the
Comstock to a depth Of 5000 feet, is
being revived. 1t is a proper scheme.
A few million dollars cannot be better
employed. The Comstock saved the
Government, now let the latter resus-
citate the old lode. There are millions
remaining in it and the country needs
all. But the short.sighted things who
now manipulate the political apparatus
must be fred before the proposition
can be hopefully discussed.

a Big woman.

Sallie McAllister. a colored woman,
died recently at her home in Spring
field. She was, doubtless, the largest
woman in the world, and in early wo-
manhood soon " outgrew" the position
OF cook. A Snowman, who had an eye
for moneymaking business, hearing OF
her avoirdupois, made an engagement
with Eat Sallie," and together they
travelled from land to land. He dressed
her we'll in fact, did everything for
her comfort and enjoyment, except to
divide profits. At one time Sallie
weighed $50 pounds. She was con-
veyed from depot to depot while on her
tours in an armchair OF large dimen-
slons which was placed in a wagon,
and as she was entirely too large to get
through the door Of any passenger car,
she vas taken through the sliding
doors Of the baggage car, and rode there
in her own armchair. She was a kind,
amiable and good woman The coffin
in which she was buried could not be
got into the body Of a big two-horse
farm wagon.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

A Denver, Colo, dispatch says: The
Denver smelling men when asked for
an explanation OF the cause Of the SEN
sational fall in the price Of silver were
disinclined TO talk. Since the panic Of
last July they have lost heavily from
the constant depreciation in the value
OF their stocks. This has caused them
to blow out many furnaces. General
A. j. Warner, President of the Ma
tional Bimetallic Association, who is
in Denver said al look for the gold
combine to continue forcing down the
price Of silver until its members have
forced India to an absolute gold basis"
He says that he has information which
makes it clear to him that the combi-
nation is we'll organized and just as de-
termined as ever to continue the a
fare to the very farthest possible limit

We are reminded Of the various uses
to which aluminium can be put by the
receipt OF a neat lead pencil made Of
that metal from the manufacturers Of
Garland stoves and ranges. The
souvenir is three-cornered, fitting the
hand nicely, and being as light as
hardwood and as strong as steel is a
very acceptable article.
Experiment has proven that alumni
mum mixed with iron makes the latter
metal pour smoothly, prevents blow
holes and liability Of cracking, and
benefits the iron in every way. AS
Garland" stoves and ranges are made
of this mixture, and as more of them
are made and sold every year than any
other stoves, it proves that The Mich
igan Stove Company's methods are the
best.

During the storm last week snow
fell as far west as Auburn, CAL, which
is something unusual. says the Win
nemucca Silver State. At Towle's
station, east OF Alta, there was a fall Of
fifteen inches. On the summit six feet
were piled up, which makes the total
depth about fourteen feet. The snow
galleries along the line OF the Central
Pacific are completely shut out from
daylight for several miles west Of the
summit Of the Sierra range, and with
out them there would be no possibility
OF keeping the line clear for travel with
the present depth.
These galleries cover the track the
entire length Of the snow beta dis
lance OF forty-fve miles, extending in
an almost unbroken line from a short
distance west OF Truckee to Shady Run
station, four miles east Of Alta. A pine
forest, with an area Of over ten square
miles, was felled to furnish timber for
their construction.
The cost per mile Of these structures
was SAC, 900, except across the summit,
where three miles Of the galleries cost
$4,000 per mile. These galleries are
built of huge timbers bolted to the
granite rocks, and are OF a strength
sufficient to Withstand the shock OF the
avalanches which sweep over them
when the snow begins melting in the
Spring. In descent TO the bottom OF
the deep ravines below these ava
lanches sweep everything in their
path, lofty pines that have withstood
the storms OF centuries being carried
along with the moving mass. When
the project Of erecting these snow gal
leries was first suggested it was de-
clared impracticable, but without them
traffic would be suspended nearly
every Winter over that part OF the
snow belt protected by them.

dts all bosh, this talk about COW
boys learning to enjoy the sport Of rid
ing a bucking horse" said a reformed

like having boils-you never get thor
oughly used to it. When you hear a

ing horse he is either a liar or a green
horn. The first day | ever went out

enough to sit a real bucking horse I'M
ill it had bucked all it wanted to, and
he was bleeding at the nose, mouth
and ears when they took him off the
horse at the end Of a half-horr's strug-
gle. AS a general thing a cowboy will
pull a horses head up, wind the reins
around the saddle horn, take a firm
grip on the saddle with his hands and
then rowel the bucker until the animal
becomes convinced that it is better to
behave than to buck. "-Phenix (A.T.)

Crossing Inc Limbs when Sitting.

Crossing Inc Limbs when sitting.
II really seems as il The women could
not be allowed to do anything without
being told il is injurious. Yet it is
well to heed such suggestions as the
following, which is doubtless true.
Women who sit with their legs crossed,
TO sew or read, or to hold the baby,
are not aware that they are inviting
serious physical ailments; but IL is
true, nevertheless. When a man
crosses his legs he places the ankle Of
limb across the knee Of the other,
and rests it lightly there. A woman.
more modest and restricted in her
movements, rests the entire weight Of
n limb on the upper part OF the
other, and this pressure upon the sem
sitive nerves and cords, if INDUCED in
for continued lengths Of time, as is
often done by ladies who sew or en-
broider, will produce disease. Sciatica,
neuralgia, and other serious troubles,
frequently result from this simple
cause. The muscles and nerves in the
upper portion Of a woman's legs III
extremely sensitive, and much Of her
physical structure can become de-
ranged if they are overtaken in the
manner referred to.
