NEvADI'S MUSICAL MOUyTaIy,
Sweet Sounds. Like the Tinkllng of Bells Made by Some Mysterious Agency.
 from the NiruinIn Ent.rpr,so,

Made by Some Mysterious Agency.
 From the Virginia Enterprise.l
 In the old Truckee mining district. down the Truckee river, near Pyramid lake. is situated Nevadas musical mountain. This mountain was first dis covered by the white settlers in 1863, at which time there was some excite ment in regard to mines found in it's neighborhood. The discoverers were a party of prospectors from the Com stock.
 They had pitched their tent at the foot of the mountain, and for a few evenings thought themselves bewitch- ed. Each evening, a little after dark. when the air was calm and all was quiet, mysterious concert began Out from the face of the big mountain were waited soft strains that seemed to cause the whole atmosphere to culver as they floated over the camp. The music then appeared to pass over until it was far, far away, and almost lost in the distance, when, beginning with tinkling as of many little silver bells there would be a fresh gush of sweet notes from the mountain.
 During the daylight hours little of | the mysterious music was heard, and it was soon settled that it was not caused by the wind. A spring near which the explorers had pitched their | tent afforded the only good camping
 grounds in the neighborhood, and as each new party of prospectors arrived at the spot the wonder grew
 Some Piute Indians who came along and camped at the spring were found to be acquainted with the peculiar musical character of the mountain. They called it the Singing mountain" ," Some of the men collected in the camp became more interested in the mountain than in prospecting and gave most of their time to an investigation of the mystery of the musical sounds heard to proceed from it. They found that the whole face of the mountain WdS COVcIcu WllH tul1 udkGS or a nara crystalline rock. There were great beds of these flakes. The investigators con- cluded that the musical sounds heard proceeded from this loose material huge drifts of which seemed to be gradually working their way down the steep face of the mountain.
 At all events, the strains heard at the foot of the mountain in the even ing's stiffness seemed to be produced by the uniting and blending of the myriads of bell-like twinklings pro- ceeding from the immense beds of slaty debris creeping glacier-like down the slope.
 This solution of the mystery of the musical mountain is the only one wor- thy of notice. As no mines of value were found the district was soon de- serted and has since seldom been wis., ited. Therefore few except the old time prospectors knew much about the singing mountain"

The Smith Family Ham. rES1,r tha wosbirrton poe+

'"The, average citizen is fond of a piece of sweet ham, but it is an absol- ute waste to set before an uneducated palate slice of genuine old Smith, 1eld that hasbeen two years in curing" said Col Thomas Longley of Virginia. "The fame of the Smithfield ham has been spread to the uppermost parts of the land, and I never yet knew man who was cognizant of the merits of both that didn't prefer the product of old Virginia to the choicest that ever came from -Westphalia. can't, des- cribe the process of the formers treat ment in detail, but I know it is envel- Qped in ashes good while. and subse- quently buried in mother earth, where It stays for many moons.

SERPENTS ARE NOT NERVOUS, Strange Muscular Power That Assists Them in Fascinating Their Victims.

Strange Muscular Power That Assists Them
 in Fascinating Their Victims.
 [From the Fortnightly Review.l
 The power of continuing motionless, with the lifted head projecting for ward for an indefinite time. is one of the most wonderful of the serpent's muscular feats. and .is one of the high est importance to the animal, both when fascinating its victim and when mimicking some inanimatey object, as, for instance, the stem and bud of an aquatic plant; here 1t Is only referred to on account of the effect it produces on the human mind. as enhancing the serpent's strangeness. In this attitude, with the round, unwinking eyes fixed on the beholder's face, the effect may be very curious and uncanny. :

4 Veteran Passenger Conductor Tells of the whims of Tourists.

whims of Tourists.
 From the Pittsburg Post,l
 No one but the experienced passenger conductor knows just how whimsical and cranky the travelling public really is. A traveller may have some peeu- liar fad or notion when he is on the road, but he never dreams that there are thousands Of others just like him. or perhaps worse. In years of exper- fence the conductor rubs elbows with all sorts Of people. and in spite of him self becomes a mind and face reader. who takes a back seat from no one ex- eept the professional.
 "Yes, travellers are superstitious and cranky" said n veteran knight of the punch, in response to query by a re- porter. T think the average passenger conductor deals with more oddities daily than the curio collector of n freak show. As for superstition. think there Is more of 1t crops out on trains than anywhere else. Last week. just as the train was ready to pull out for Chicago, q well-dressed man came out of the coach on the platform. and in an agitated manner asked me what day it was.
 T told him 1t was Friday, and with out another word he reentered the coach and in a moment returned with his luggage. and by way of explanation stated that he never began a journey on Friday, and would wait until the next morning. That Is only sample. The much-mooted unlucky thirteen is perhaps the cause of more worry and Inconvenience to tourists than any oth- CT sign which they deem of i'll omen. I have known passengers to begin at the head of the train to see If they could find number thirteen anywhere.
 If the engine happened to be thir- teen they would resignedly wait for the next train, and if they succeeded in finding number thirteen on any of the coaches they would hold up their hands in holy horror. have seen passengers refuse to ride in a coach which held thirteen passengers, and if you will ask any ticket man he will tell you that of all sections in a sleeper thirteen is the most difficult to dispose of.
 Then aside from the superstition which prevails among the travelling public there are countless passengers who are cranky, and if they lose a chance to kick are in a bad humor for week afterward. They kick for a seat in the center of the coach; kick because the train goes too slow or too fast; kick because they are in a draught, or because it is too hot. And the worst of 1t all is that when they kick I am the individual who is called up to hear them, as if I were responsi- ble for the whole business.
 About the only time when some fel- lows don't kick is when they are on their honeymoons. Everything goes on as smoothly as if 1t had been ordered so, but let the same men ride on the same train five years later and the chances are they'll kick themselves in- to exhaustion

sination caused great sensation at the
Grand Theatre, which was filed to the
walls by the elite Of Lyons. When the
first report had been fully confirmed
the audience left the building,
many of them proceeding at once to
the prefecture, where they stood in the
streets waiting for any report that
might be vouchsafed to them from the
building and discussing the crime that
they considered had cast disgrace upon
the fair fame Of their city.
An Internal Hemorrhaee.
After President Carnot was taken to
the prefecture all the physicians in at
tendance upon him agreed that an oper-
alton was necessary, whereupon DR..
Ollier Immediately probed the wound.
While this was icing done. M. Carnot
came to his senses and said feebly, but
distinctly, "How you are hurting me. :"
The doctors, however, continued to
attend the wound, the outward bleed
ing of which had stopped. They knew,
though, that the presidents condition
was extremely grave, as they more
than suspected that internal hemorrhage
had occurred.
Shortly after midnight the archbishop
Of Lyons was summoned to the bedside
Of the dying president to administer to
him the last rites of the church. He
was in the room but short time when
he emerged and retired to an adjoining
room. Here he remained till 1890
o'clock, when he was again summoned
to the presidents room, where he ad-
ministered to him the sacrament.
M. Carnot remained conscious to the
last.
