A Pocket Night-Lamp.

To instantly obtain light sufficient
to read the time by watch or clock
by night, without danger of setting
things on fire, is an easy matter. Take
an oblong vial of the clearest Of glass,
put into it a piece Of PHOSPHORUS about
the size Of pea, pour upon this some
pure olive oil, heated to the boiling
point; the bottle is to be filed about
one-third full, then cork tightly. To
use the light remove the cork, allow
the air to enter, then re-cork. The
whole empty space in the bottle will
then become luminous, and the light
obtained will be a good one. AS soon
as the light becomes dim its power
can be increased by opening the bottle
and allowing fresh supply Of air to
enter.
In very cold weather it is sometimes
necessary to heat the vial between the
hands to increase the fiuidity OF the
oil, and one bottle will last whole
winter. This ingenious contrivance
may be carried in the pocket, and is
used by watchmen in Paris in all the
magazines where explosives or infiam'
mable materials are stored.

She was from the country, but she
didn't intend to take back water on
that account If she could help it. Piety
was the subject of discussion, and Sis
ter Jane, who lived in town that
made some pretensions to being con-

the immaculate Righteousness Of Par
son Jenkins.
Sister Melinda bided her time until
her innings came round, and then took
the floor.

Beautv Within Canyon Walls.

One of the most peculiar and inter
esting places on the American CONT
nent is just being opened up. The
section lies across the diagonal line
that forms the southern boundary OF
the State of Nevada, spreading into
California and reaching almost to the
line Of the Atlantic and Pacific Rail
road The old ferty-niners passed
through this section during the Cali
fornia gold excitement, Many per
ished from thirst and the remains of
their wagons, such as the tires and
other iron parts, may be found strewn
about the valleys.
Near Resting Springs a man by the
name Of Lee has a ranch, an Indian
wife, and a family Of eight children.
Not far from there is what is believed
to be the famous Gunsight mine. One
Of the pioneers, in passing through
that section, picked up piece Of lead,
almost pure, and made a sight for his
gun with it. It was so rich that when
he told the story i'll civilizat ton pros
pectors started out to locate it. The
fact of the similarity of all the valleys
led many astray, and they perished
from thirst His description Of the
.
one has ever been able to accurately
, locate the mine, but the present own
ers believe they have found it.
The valley adjoining that which is
the route of the Nevada Southern Is
called Pahrump. It Is described as
the principal one of them all for gold
and silver and lead mines. Up in the
valley, which is one Of those dry, bar
rem sand gulches between two perpen-
dicular walls Of rock, Is the Mesquite
stamp mill. On one side is the Key
stone gold mine, from which $4,000
has been extracted. Up at the head
of the valley Is the Montgomery gold
district Several miles above the mill
are the Pahrump springs, where a
hardy pioneer has settled in Il beauti-
full oasis and reared a family. Those
, who have visited the family say that
away off there, imprisoned by canyon
walls and sandy deserts, is the most
/ beautiful woman in the West. She is
one Of natures queens, and her fame
for beauty is spreading rapidly since
civilization placed its foot in the Pah.
rump valley.
The Pahrump valley has not been
noted for its civilization. A band OF
renegade Indians-a mixture Of the
Mojaves, Chingowayras and Piutes, all
of which inhabit that country-have
settled in it. They once had a chief
and when he died his son was the can
didate for the chieftainship. The tribe
did not want him, and would not elect
. him, so they went without head, bu
{ not for long. Teeopa stepped into the
;oh ond has since held it. and is look
ed up to as the chief. Chief Tecopa's
attire consists of a plug hat and an ole
striped shirt. Once in a while he wears
trousers, but very seldom.
When Mr.. Blake went there, Chic
Tecopa said that he owned all tha
eountry, and that his consent was nee
essav before any railroads could b.
built His consent could be bough
for plug hat and red.suipsd shirt Tf
eona allowed the white chief to pro
eeed with his railroad. - Denver Re
