Gently Miss Lewis took Tolley to task for

of Miss Lewis. Tolley then went to an

There she met mail carrier and asked

4 MUSICAL MOUNTAIN.
Sweet Sounds, Like the Thinking of Bells
Made There.

In the old Truckee mining district.
down the Truckee river, near Pyramid
lake, is situated Nevada's musical
mountain. This mountain was first
discovered by the white settlers in 1868,
at which time there was some excite
ment in regard to the mines found in
were party of prospectors from the
COmstOck.
They had pitched their tent at the
foot OF the mountain. and for few
evenings thought themselves bewitched,
says the Virginia City Enterprise Zach
evening", a little after dark, when the
air was calm and all was quiet. a mvs-
terious 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
tloated over the camp. The music then
appeared to pass over it until it was
far, far away, and almost lost in the
distance, when, beginning with a tink-
ling as of many little silver bells, there
would be fresh gust of sweet notes
from the mountain.
During the daylight hours little of
y /
was settled that it was not caused by
the wind. A spring near (which the ex-
plorers 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 mu-
steal character of the mountain. They
called it the singing mountain"
Some of the men collected in the
camp became more interested in TIE
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 was
covered with thin flakes of a hard crvs-
talline rock. There were great beds of
these flakes. The investigators con-
cluded that the musical sounds heard
proceeded from 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 evenings
stiffness seemed to be produced by the
uniting and blending of the myriads of
bell-like tinklings proceeding from the
immense beds of slaty debris creeping
glacicr-like down the slope.
The solution of the mystery of the
musical mountain is the only one worthy
of notice. As no mines of value were
found the district was soon deserted and
has since seldom been visited There
fore few except the old-time prospectors
know much about the singing mount
aim"

1t is not generally realized by those
IN charge of horses that they onght to
be given drink before feeding, par
ticularly in the morning. The French
breeders give careful attention to this.
and it is one of the rules of the large
stables IN this country. A writer says
if the horse could talk he would ask
for drink the first thing in the morn
ing and be eager to get it, whether
the weather is hot or cold. Farmers
are too apt to be forgetful in this mat
ter. The horse comes from work at
night, gets a drink, then is fed mostly
on dry grain, eats hay part of the
night and in the morning another dry
feed, and by this timeis very dry him
self, SO when he reaches water be fills
his stomach so full that indigested
food is forced out of the stomach, and
is damage rather than benitit to the
horse. 1t you have not done SO, try
watering one horse before feeding in
morning, thus Stacking his thirst, and
at the same time washing the stomach
ready to receive the morning feed,
when being properly moistened with
saliva, it will remain until thoroughly
dlgested. Your horse can do more
work on less food and will live healthy
and much longer. Besides, humanity
demands this consideration for your
faithful servitor

Platinum Hard to Get.

The discovery of deposits of platinum
in this country would be as welcome as
the finding of diamond mine. At
present the metal costs nearly half as
much as gold, having risen greatly in
price within the last three years. 1t is
absolutely indispensable for many pur-
poses, being non-corrosive and resisting
acids.
1t is utilized for chemical apparatus.
scientific instruments and incandescent
lamps. There is some platinum in the
beach sands of Oregon but not enough
to pay for mining. Small quantities of
ii have been discovered recently in the
copper mines of Canada, where it oc-
ours in a combination with arsenic
Two-thirds of the worlds supply of
platinum comes from two Siberian
mines in the Ural mountains. The
metal is obtained there as a by-product
of gold mining. The mining is done
by scooping holes in the ground to a
depth of about fifteen feet and then bur
rowing, rat fashion. in all directions
Twenty-nine hundred carloads of earth
are required to yield fifteen pounds of
platinum. The biggest nugget ever
found was about the size of a tumbler.

His NeSlige Costume.

When the summer men don their
neglige costumes they reduce the stand
ard of masculine looks in a surprising
way. 1t is strange that the man in
neglige never appears in that light,
airy, graceful fashion in which the IL
Illustrated society journals picture him.
He may think he looks well but he is
sadly mistaken. But the sacrifice of
looks to comfort is sensible, if not arts
tic. There is certain politician in
town who has avowed never to- depart
from starched linen again. He was
willing to sacrifice his looks but his lofty
spirit could not endure insult.
Yesterday morning the politician
decked himself out, gloriously in
neglioe shirt and leather belt. He eyed
himself in the glass and congratulated
himself on not looking as badly as he
thought he would. He was feeling hap
pv over the introduction of an era of
comfort during the hot months and joy
fully kissed his wife goodby as he left
for town. John" said his spouse, Il
want YOU to stop off at my dress
makers on your way to the city and
tell her it will be impossible for me to
take fitting to-day" John, feeling
happy and cool, was willing to comply
with his wife's request. When he ar
rived in front of the dress making es-
adjustment he jumped off the car and,
walking UP the steps, rang the bell.
After waiting some time the door was
partly opened and the well-known
dress-maker appeared. Before the gen.
tlenIan had time TO speak word eX-
planning his mission the dress-maker
had eyed him from head to foot and
said in an impatient tone: Just go
round to the back door" 1t was hard
blow, but the politician recovered his
equanimity before the door was closed
to tell her what he wanted. He wore a
scowl all the way into town and before
going to his office went to furnishing
house, where he bought a white shirt
and collar to make himself, as he put it,
look respectable. Pittsburg Dispatch.

Here is funny story from Paris. An
anarchist called at Baron Rothschild's
Office and asked for an interview. The
Baron was IN good humor AMI said,
Send him ill.," The anarchist entered
his office. The Baron said: "You be-
lieve that my money ought to be divided
equally among all the people How many
people are in the world?" The anarchist
could not tell. The Baron said: TN
tell you" He went to his books and
looked up the estimated figure. There"
he SAID, my fortune is so and so. This
is your share and he gave it to the man.
The Baron told him to tell the world to
call on him and he would give each indl-
vidual his share. 1t was such miser-
able pittance that the anarchist rOared.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, Oct. "a paper
filed In the District court to-day, makes
the startling charge that an employee of
Laird Il Boyle who owned a saw mill, set
the fire which afterward burned Hinckly.
The paper is an answer to a suit brought
by Laird & Boyle against Wisdom & Can
non, who also owned a saw mill at Pine
City, and with whom there were negotia-
tons pending for an exchange of proper
ties, the defendants 10 put IN note for
81 500 and make some other concessions.
The answer alleges that the plaintiffs
ought not TO recover since the mill was
burned Sept. l, 1894, by a fire which was
set and kIpdled by the plaintiffs, their
servants and employees.
