A curious incident is related as
taking place in we'll known
church recently. A wedding was
being solemnized, the contracting
parties being a lady and gentleman
who move in the fashionable circles
of society, while in the corner OF
the church stood youthful couple,
mulatto boy and girl. The pair
watched the ceremony intently, and
copied each movement made by the
bride and bridegroom whom the
priest was making man and wife.
AS they knclt down so did the
other couple kneel, and when the
bridegroom placed the ring on the
brides finger the young mulatto
did likewise. At length, when the
procession emerged from the church
the humble double followed, look
ing as if they were married. 1t
transpired that such was, indeed,
their belief. They had no money
where with to pay the priest or the
fees, so they thought marriage at
secoud hand would be just as eRec-
tive and cost nothing. Philadelphia

Mr.. Freeman, of Tucson, one of
the committeeman on the proposed
extension of the North and South
road from Phoenix to Nogales, had
an interview recently with presi-
dent Frank Murphy of the road in
which the latter gentleman stated
that it wes the desire of the COM
pany to have all the preliminary
work done so that as soon as the
graders arrive at Phoenix from the
north, say by the first of January,
they may at once be put at work
on the Phoenix Nogales end and
continue right on. The proposed
route will be Phoenix, Tempe, Mesa,
as near GoldfeId and Mammoth as
possible, Florence, Tucson, Gala
bassis and Nogales.

Under the present plan at the
penitentiary at Yuma, all prisoners

their discharge in order to restore

and gracious duty toward those

should not have tagged to them for
life the thought that they are
ostracised' from the rest of their
fellows by the stigma of having
spent term in the prison. Many

The test for symmetry is to turn
a man with his face to the wall. If
he is perfectly formed his chest
will touch it, his nose will be four
inches away, his thighs FIVE, the
tips of his toes three. In a per-
fectly formed female figure twice
round the thumb should be once
round the wrist; twice round the
wrist should be once round the
upper arm; twice this is once round

The Copper Queen Company, at
Bisbee, is working 400 men. and
producing 25 tons Of copper per
day from 25O,00O pounds of ore.
The company continues to pay
dividends regularly, The under
ground workings are almost inter
minable. There are over sixty
miles of tunnels, and thirty six
miles of underground track. The
supply Of ore is sufficient to last for
many years to come. The new
convertors, which are to extract
the sulphur from the copper, are
are in course Of erection. The
impure copper will be run from the
furnace into the convertors, where
it will be subjected to an intense
heat, and twelve-inch current of
air will be sent through the con-
vertor at velocity that will drive
all the sulphur out of the copper

Seven Years Without a Birth.
Day

A Scottish clergyman, who died
thirty years ago, M. Leishman of
Kinross, used to tell that he once
lived seven years without birth
day. The statement puzzled most
who heard it. They could see that
if he had been born on the 29th of
February he would have no birth
day except in leap year. But
leap year comes once in four years
and this accounts for gap of three
years only. Their first thought
would, therefore, naturally be that
the old man who, in fact, was fond
of a harmless jest, was somehow
jesting about the seven. There was,
however, no joke or trick in his
assertion. At the present time
there can be very few, if there any,

selves, for one who can tell it must
have been born on the 29th day of
February at least ninety-eight
years ago. But similar line of
missing dates is now soon to return;
and indeed there are, no doubt,
some readers who will have only
one birthday to celebrate for nearly
twenty years to come. The solu-
tion of the puzzle is to be found in
the fact, which does not appear to
be widely known, that the year
1900 was not leap year and 1900
will not he. The February of 1892
had 20 days, but In all the seven
years intervening between 1896
and 1904, as we'll as in the three
between 1892 and 1896, that month
will have only %.

Great and mystically dreadful is
the earth from mine'sIdepth, says
McClure's Magazine. Man is in
the implacable grasp of nature. 1t
has only to tighten slightly and he
is crushed like bug. His loudest
shrek of agony would be as potent
as his final moan to bring help
from that fair land that lies, like
heaven, over his head. There is
an insidious silent enemy in the
gas. If the huge fanwheel on the
top of the earth shonld stop for a
brief period there is certain death,
and a panic more terrible than any
occurring where the sun has .shone
ensues down under the tons Of
rock. Ii a man may escape the
gas, the foods, the "squeezes" of
falling rock, the cars shooting thro'
little tunnels, the precarious eleva-
tors, the hundred perils, there
usually comes to him an attack of
''mines's asthma" that slowly racks
and shakes him into the grave.
Meanwhile, he gets three dollars
day and his laborer one dollar.

Were Bound to Play Poke

| Poker has been played with
everything from pea beans to a
hundred dollar bill, but, perhaps,
the most curious commodity that
has ever passed about over the
green cloth occurred the other night
among a party of newspaper men,
Somebody suggested the evening
hours would pass more quickly if
all hands INDUCED in the national
game. Everyone was willing, but
when an account Of stock was taken
it was discovered that there was
only about 81. 80 III the crowd and
every one objected to playing for
."wind." After a little discussion
some one had an idea, which he put
in these words: "Let's appoint a
committee Of two as judges, then
for an hour let us each sit down
and write short stuff for the Sun
day paper. Everything that the
committee agrees upon as being
good enough to be printed shall be
accepted as cash aud can be paid in
as equivalent for stack of chips.
This idea met with instant favor,
and for an hour or more nothing
could be heard in that room for
silence. At the end of that time
each one produced his quota of al
legged interesting stories, and the
committee to which it was submit
ted, reading it all with s. lenient
eye passed nearly the whole lot

Among the crown jewels is a
magnificent sapphire representing a
female figure enveloped in drapery.
The stone represents two tints, a
circumstance of which the artist
has skillfully taken advantage to
make the woman dark and the
drapery light. The most remark
able of this kind is an engraved
sapphire representing profile of a
young Hercules executed by Ohelus.

day that the great curse of this

Elastic Marble.

In one account of Rome, the author
mentions five or six slabs Of elastic mar
Bile as being in the possession of the
Prince Borghese. Being set on end,
they bend backward and forward; when
laid horizontally and raised ut end,
they form curve; if placed on table
and piece of wood or any other sub
stance is laid under them, they fall into
a kind of curve, each end touching the
table. Tho Able Forts was told that
they wero dug up near the town of Mon
dragon i'll the kingdom of Naples The
grain is like that of fine Carrara mar
bic, or perhaps of the finest Greek.
They seem to have suffered some attack
of fire, a slab of marble similar in
every respect to those described and
highly polished has been exhibited for
more than % years at the British mu-
scum. Nj. Fleuvian de Bclvae succeed

feet 3 inches i'll circumference. The
face is S feet inches long and from
ear to ear II feet inches wide. The
eyes, which are pure gold, are nearly 9
feet long. The circumference of the
thumb is feet. These figures give
some idea of the size, and the figure is
elevated on stone platform some 10
to 10 feet above the person approaching
1t. But no description can convey an
idea Of the majesty Of the face. It is
bent gently forward as if in brooding
contemplation of the infinite. 1t rep
