A Big Discovery Of Gold.

Herman Bernhardt, August Helmann
and Herman Rene, all well known res
idents of this city, returned on Friday
from prospecting trip in the vicinity
of Cottonwood Springs, about 1876 miles
due east from this place, bringing with
them about 81 900 worth of gold, almost
pure, that they had taken from decom-
posed quartz ledge that they had dis
covered twenty-five miles north of Cot
tonwod Springs. They state that the
ledge is visible for two miles over the
mountains and is rich in gold wherever
it has been tapped. Immediately after
the discovery two of the partners came
to this city to procure supplies and tools
to commence work, and they returned
to the mines Tuesday Several business
men and about forty prospectors left
also, all headed for the new Ell Dorado.
Since the discovery, which is the rich
est ever known in this section of the
country, there have been several stories
told, and nearly all old miners agree
that the old Pegleg mine, which has been
lost for years and which was reported
as marvelously rich, has now been re-
discovered. The quality of the gold
agrees exactly with that brought in in
large amounts every little while by In
dams, who have been tracked and fol-
lowed, but who would never reveal the
place from which they got their gold,
and they have always struck out in the
direction of Cottonwood Springs. Sew
eral parties are Quitting here for the
new mines.-San Bernardino Cor. San

Cbedient,

Little Nelly, while at the seashore with
her mother. was very fond of making calls
upon some ladies in neighboring cottage,
and the frequency with which she would
bring home little presents of cards and pic
lures, etc, led her mother to fear that she
might be in the habit of asking for these
things. She therefore gave the child strict
orders never to do such a thing The next
day Nellie returned from her visit laden
down with pretty odds and ends of various
sorts, and when her mother called her and
questioned her severely if she had asked for
these things she replied, with conscious
virtue:
mo, mother dear You told me must
never ask for things, SO just took 'em. "

RAIN IN JAPAN.
Queer Natife Methods to Coax Showers In
Times of Drought.

Queer Natise Methods tn Coax Showers In
Times of Drought.
During the summer season in Japan
droughts are very frequent, and the rice
fields, before so beautiful, presenting as
they do all the different shades of green
imaginable, gradually lose their bril-
liancy Of color. turn yellow and parched,
and threaten the total destruction of the
crop. Not only does the rice suffer. but
the wells dry up and necessitate the car
rying Of water from long distances. Soa
drought in Japan is indeed a great ca
lamity.
After waiting and hoping in vain for
4 downfall of rain, the people turn out
Ell masse to evoke the power of their
deities to send them the saving showers.
Aprocession is formed of perhaps 200
men, all nearly naked, who, carrying
straw embiems representing the sun with
rain pouring from it and with long
streamers having prayers written on
them flying in the wind, proceed to the
nearest river or bay, where the whole
company wades into the water until
they are waist deep, and surrounding
the emblems pray aloud and throw wa
ter on the images with both hands.
After doing this several times the pro-
cession is reformed, when it proceeds to
the temple to pray again. This cere-
mony is repeated several times, and
should the rain come in abundance pray
ers are offered in thanksgiving. Should
it be only shower, they blame them
selves for not having prayed fervently
enough and continue their devotions un-
til downpour takes place.
Another form of devotion for the same
purpose takes place at nightfall, when
long boat is filled with men and padded
swiftly across the harbor, accompanying
the prayers by the regular beatings of
tomtoms and gongs. Sometimes at night,
away down the bay, may be heard the
weird sound of the tomtoms and the
voices of the men gradually growing
Louder and louder as the boatapproaches,
each man bending to his paddle in regu-
lar time as it passes US swiftly and grad
ually disappears in the darkness and is
soon lost to sight and clearinghouse

quite as ragged as at first except as to his
coat, carrying the clothes the lady had
given him.
"Well," she asked in establishment as he
presented himself and his bundle, whats
the matter?"

said simply.
"Why did you do thati Don't you need

Tho Age of Maturity.

Statistics are said to show that young
men do not on an average attain full
physical maturity until they arrive at
the age of % years Professor Scheiller
of Harvard asserts as the result of his OBJ
servations, that young men do not attain
to the full measure of their mental facul-
ties before IS years of age. A shrewd
observer has said that most men are
boys until they are 30 and little boys un-
til they are Co." and this accords with the
standard of manhood which was fixed
at 80 among the ancient Hebrews and
other races. -Jenness Miller Monthly
