The ~twelve-year old daughter OF
Mike Ferless Of Wales, Utah, was for
two years the victim OF a terribly dis
tressing pain in her stomach. Recent
ly a doctor came who declared there
was some kind Of living creature in her
stomach. Her parents were told to
keep food and water from the child for
three days. They did as directed, and
when she began to call for water and
il was not given her. she grew frantic,
and it seemed as though she would
tear herself to pieces. She would
scream, and rave and cry: at is
coming, il is coming. | a feel it. l
can feel it," For a time it seemed as
though the child would choke to death.
At last she savagely thrust her hand
into her mouth and drew from her
throat q lizard about eight inches long.
The head of the reptile had been
chewed SO badly that it died in q few
minutes. 1t is not known just how
the reptile ever got into the little ones
stomach, but it is supposed she swal-
lowed it while eating w~atercress.-

The Coming Camp.

Kennedy is the coming camp. With
in ninety days time it will be a lively
little city. with splendid chances for
investment. The gold is there and
plenty Of it. and all that is necessary
is for capital to go in and assist the
p~rospectors, who are rich in ore but
poor in legal tender money, to make it
second to Cripple Creek. Although
Mr.. Wardner has made extensive pur-
chases, there is plenty of room for
many more. Mr.. Jenkins will undoubt-
eddy make some improvements in his
mill in the near future, so that it will
work satisfactorily, and with the 20
stamp mill that Mr.. Wardner will have
running in sixty days the question Of
handling the ore and getting money
out OF it will be solved.

season


The latest fad is the "season lunch
con-" which is described by the Phila-
delphia Times. Four tables are spread
to represent four seasons. The Spring
table has decorations of daffodils and
jonquils, with white and gold and
china and yellow ribbons to the nap
kin, and white ices and bonbons. The
Summer table is a rose table with
white Haviland, decorated with scat
tered rosebuds, the sweets and ices be-
ing rose tinted or served ia the form Of
roses. Autumn will have the luncheon
cloth strewn with cherries in the nat
ural tints. bowls heaped with grapes
and with the glowing red and yellow
beauty OF the nasturtium and golden
rod, while the Winter table may be
appropriately modelled after the most
successful decorations Of that season.
II is a growing custom to give a fare
we'll luncheon or breakfast before going
abroad for an extended tour, and have
the decorations express a parting SEN
timent. A forget-me-not or pansy
luncheon is appropriate and inexpen-
sive. There are now in market any
number Of beautiful plates dotted all
over with these pretty flowers, and
dainty bowls filed with blue or purple
pansies make pretty souvenirs Of part
ing for the guests.

An Expensive shot.

Some extraordinary but w~ell-authen-
ticated stories of the Bank OF France
are related. One day a sheep ate up
a hundred franc note belonging to a
butcher. The butcher ran into the
house OF a friend, seized q gun, and
shot the sheep. He had no sooner
done this than the owner OF the gun
rushed up. THAT was an expensive
shot of yours for me-" he said. "What
do mean ?" asked the butcher. "Well,"
said the other, ~ had seventy francs
in bills hidden in the barrel of that
gun y The sleeps carcass Vas pretty
thoroughly searched, and enough Of
the pieces of the notes recovered SO
that the bank redeemed them all.

All strange tongues hold pitfalls, but
the English language seems to be
rather more provided with traps for
the unwary than almost any other.
Vassar girls had a private laugh not
long ago at the eulogy bestowed by a
French gentleman whose admiration
for the young undergraduates consid-
erably exceeded his ability to speak it
IN English. He had met the young
women at one or two day festivals and
was sufficiently impressed, but when,
at an evening reception, they burst
upon him in the bravery OF full dress
the admiring Gaul felt at once the
handicaps Of his vocabulary. 81 can
not say" he confided to n OF his
hosts, how beautiful the young ladies
appear in their nightdresses."

Etiquette OF the Hand.

A lady never extends her hand to a
man whose acquaintance she is max.
ing. She may or may not shake hands
with a lady who is introduced, but she
must not give her hand to a strange
man. A low bow is the elegant form
of salutation. A cultivated woman
will not shake hands with any man,
no matter how long she is acquainted
with him, unless she respects and adj
mires him. A gentleman nev ex-
tends his hand to a lady first. To do
so would be presumptuous and subject
him to a snubbing. A man shows his
breeding the way he eats his dinner;
a woman shows her breeding the way
she receives people.-N. Y. CONNER

Over three thousand people assem-
blsd at Central Park in San Francisco,
one night last week, to see the wrest-
ling match between Sandow and Col
onel Daniel f. Boone's tame lion Com
modore. Commodore was muzzled,
his paws were encased in big boxing
gloves, and he was so handicapped
that free action was almost impossible.
When Sandow entered the iron cage
the lion was lying on all fours, and no
amount Of teasing could get him to
stand up or lose his temper. Sandow
lifted him from the ground and swung
him him round and round, but it was
Of no avail. After ten minutes Of this
farce the match was given to Sandow.
Boone was in the cage all the time
with q pistol in each hand.

shape OF the construction Of a marine
railway for the purpose of connecting
Brighton with the little village Of Rot
tingdean, some three or four miles to
the eastward. The rails will be laid

high water will be covered by the sea,
which, however, will not affect the
carriages, the latter being supported
on a frame work that keeps them high
and dry. At this part Of the coast the
cliffs are high, and the beach is prac-
tically inaccessible, SO that no boating
traffic will be interfered with. The
cars will be moved by electricity, like
those 10 in use along the eastern
