depth, was begun three years ago, and reached the vein on August at the depth of 4, ,1s5 feet.
 A trip down three-quarters of mile into the bowels of the earth is a de- cided novelty. Entering the cage, says the Chicago Record, which is an iron elevator, fitted with all modern safety appliances and hoisted and lowered by an inch and half wire cable passing over great drum in the engine house near the shaft, the signal is given to lower. A separate cage is always used for carrying men, and the rate of speed is less than where rock is hoisted or timber lowered in the other compart- ments. The trip requires five minutes, and as the cage sinks at the rate of speed equal to that of the swiftest ele- vator in modern sky-scraper, the dark walls of rock, on which faint light is thrown by the candles and oil-lamps of the party, seem to be swiftly shooting upward, while the cage is standing still.
 At last the bottom is reached. A dozen miners, covered with grime and dust, are busily at work. Power drills, fed by compressed air coming al most mile through iron pipes, are tapping the rock petulantly. Men are shoveling the rock blasted from the lode into the cars, which are trundled into the cages and hoisted to the sur face. The candles throw weird shadows, and as the reflection comes to the mind of the mortal from earth's surface that he is deeper down under the earth's crust than man has ever penetrated before, the desire to ascend to fresh air and sunshine is apt to come uppermost.
 A few minutes show all that is to be seen, for No. shaft has just reached the lode and the extensive system o1 drifts, crosscuts, and winzes existing in other shafts of the mine has been but begun down here. The work is all planned for many years to come, and the force of compressed air and the muscle of man will transfer those plans from the paper where they were placed by the busy brain of the engineer into openings in the living rock, inch by inch, but with the same power ofnever ceasing persistence which causes the falling drop of water in the course O long ages to wear away the stone.

MUSIC ON THE BENCH.
A Fiji Judge Who Twanged a Jews-Harp
 While Hearing Cases.

The natives of Fiji are amenable to criminal code known as the native reg ulations. These are administered by two courts, the district court, which sits monthly and is presided over by native magistrate; and the provincial court, which assemblies every three months before the English and native magistrates sitting together. In South Sea Yarns" Basil Thomson gives an amusing account of the district court
 The courthouse, a native building carpeted with mats, is now packed with natives, sitting cross-legged, only a small place being reserved in front of the table for the accused and the wit nesses. The magistrate takes his seat, and his scribe, sitting on the floor at his side, prepares his writing materials to record the sentences.
 The dignity with which the judge adjusts his shirt collar and clears his throat is little marred when he pro duces from his bosom a jew's-harp with which to beguile the tedium of the hours.
 The first case is called. Samuela and Timothe, two meek-faced youths of eighteen and nineteen, sitting tailor Fashion before the table, are charged with fowl stealing. They plead: Not Guilty" and the owner of the fowls. being sworn, deposes that having been awakened at night by the voice of a favorite hen in angry remonstrance, he ran out of his house, and after hot chase captured the accused red-handed in two senses, for they were plucking his hen while it was still alive.
 Quite unmoved by this tragic tale, Vatureba seems to listen only to the melancholy notes of his jews-harp; but the witness is chief and a man of in f1uence withal, and period of aweo silence follows his accusation, broker only by a subdued twanging from the bench. The judge has not yet opened his lips during the case, and as the jew's-harp is not capable of much ex pression, it is with some interest tha1 we await the sentence.
 Suddenly the music ceases, the in strument is withdrawn from tht mouth, the oracle is about to speak Alas! he utters but two words: ''Vul; tolu" (three months), and there peal out a indignantly triumphant strai1 from the jew's-harp.
 But the prosecutor starts up with | protest. One of the accused is hi nephew, he explains, and he onl. wished light sentence to be imposed Three months for one fowl is so severe besides, if the boy has three months, h. must go to the central jail and no work out his sentence in his own dis trict.
 Again there is silence, and the voic of the jew's-harp has changed from tri umph to thoughtful melancholy. A length it ceases, and the oracle speak again: ''Bogi tolu" (Three days).

Buried in Teeth.

A dentist died in rural town in Eng land recently, after spending over fifty years in pulling the molars of his fel- low citizens. He had made it hobby to keep all the teeth which he had drawn in the course of his professional career, and took great pride in the col lection. When his will was opened it was found that he had ordered the col lection of teeth to be placed with him in his coffin for burial. His heirs full filled his command, and almost thir ty thousand teeth were put into the coffin with the dead dentist. Ii some archaologist of the future century shall happen to open that grave, he vii have flood for thought and some diff fculty, perhaps, in explaining the pres ence of so many teeth.

ElSMARCK'S LAST WALTZ.

Guvs His Partner Rosebud.
Nine. Carctte, once the companion
Of the Empress Eugene, tells in her
memoirs this new story of Prince Bis
marck:
"It was at great ball in the Tuiller-
les in 1867, during the international
exhibition. Count Bismarck stood in a
corner watching the dancers. In the
cotillon the thought came to me that 1
might offer him a bouquet Of roses,
and thus compel him to dance with me.
Herr Won Bismarck was at that time
the subject of universal interest. He
accepted my bouquet and without hest
tation responded to the invitation that
went with it. He danced waltz with
me in manner quite beyond criticism.
This incident, which seemed to har-
monte so little with Count Bismarck
seriousness and the important part
which he was already playing in state
affairs, amused immensely the kings
and princes who were present. AS he
escorted me to my seat. after the waltz,
he took rosebud from the buttonhole
of his coat and gave it to me with the
remark:
Madame, please keep this bud as
a memento Of the last waltz that
shall ever dance. I shall never forget
it,"

IT happened at one of the inland re-
sorts Of Wisconsin. A young man from
Chicago was stopping there with his
wife, and the wife had wandered down
to the shore of the lake to enjoy the
evening breeze. A short pier jutting
out into the lake looked inviting, and
she went out on it, unmindful Of sever
al small urchins who were lowering
about the boat house at the shore cid
of the pier. \ few minutes later her
husband came to the lake to join her,
but was intercepted by one OF the ur-
chins.
Say, mister, is that your girl?" asked
the boy.
She is my wife," replied the young
man.
We'll. you tel! her to so home, cause
we boys wants to go III SWlmmln
said the youngster, and thinking that
would settle the matter, they all re-
tired to the boat house to un0l"ss.
The young man promptly Informed
his wife Of the request, but she was en-
joying herself, and was not anxious to
leave. She laughed and called to a
new arrival at the boat house:
Tell the boys" she said, when he
had come to her, "to run out and jump
III the water, if they wish to. I won't
look''
The little fellow hurried to the boat
house with the message, and there was
an immediate council of war. At it,

the pier and said:

How to Wave the Hair.
