for girls by jeanette Walworth.
There are short stories by Oliver
Optic and Rebecca Davis; a football
story by Henry +. Haydock; bicycle

"iIints on Trapping;' a paper tell
ing how to turn heap of rubbish
into pretty ornaments; several Illus

zine is Frank Lee Farnell, who has
been connected with Frank Leslie's
Publishing House for number of
years, and who thoroughly under
stands what will please and interest
the young people.

The Fly in Amber.

In one OF the European Museums
may be seen a piecs OF amber, in
which is deeply imbedded a perfect
hv. Now, neither the amber nor the
fiy are curiosities, but the curiosity
consists in how the fly got into the
amber. An equally wonderful curl
osity may occasionally be seen in
country drug stores, in the shape of
huge drastic cathartic pills, put up in
cheap wood or pastehoard boxes. The
curiosity with these ''jokers' consists
in knowing who asks for them, when
it is generally known that DIR Pierces
Pleasant Pellets, sugar coated and
pat up in glass bottles, always fresh
and reliable, bat l:ttIe larger than
mustard seeds, are an efficient cathar-
tic, regulate the liver, and cure sick
headache, constipation and dyspepsia.

MOQLESKA AND EAR.
The Actress Takes Him for a Mine
and Gives Him a 1ip.

ne RCtTcSS axes MIN Tor minef
and Gives Him a TIP.
Zone of the most interesting rem
iniscenccs told of Senator Fair" "
remarked prominent mining man
at the Palace hotel, says the San
Francisco Chronicle, ''is concerning
an incident that happened up on the
Comstock many years ago. Nodes
ka had come up to Virginia City,
and wanted to sec 4 Comstock mine.
Sam Davis, the publisher Of the APP
peal, undertook to show the actress
the workings of q mine. Armed
with the proper authority, they de-
scended the shaft to the six-hun-
drcd-foot level and there ran across
Fair.
NOW Modieska didn't know the
first thing about a mine, though she
was not entirely devoid Of informa-
tion concerning the owners of the
Comstock. The name of James G.
Fair was as familiar to her as to al
most any Californian, although she
had never met the bonanza king.
She bad imagined that man of his
millions must be dignified sort Of
parsonage, scrupulously attircd and
rather inclined to stand aloof from
the men whom he employed. So it
didn't occur to her for moment that
the man in the grizzled beard and
canvas ovcralls whom she met on
the six hundred foot level was James
G. Fair, though Davis distinctly in
troduced him to the actress as Mr..
Fair
so you want to see the minc2'
inquired Fair.
Mime. Modjeska replied that such
was the object of her visit.
We'll, might l have the pleasure
of escorting you through he askeds
"Modjeska replied that she would
be pleased. So Fair icined the party
and showed them through the mine.
when they returned to the top Of
the shaft and went into the Office
Modjeska suggested: Mr.. Davis,
let me pay my guide for his trouble
Well, you nigh: give him fifty
cents suggested Davis, and he
at the prospect.
'Modieska laid a fifty-ccnt piece
on the counter and thanked him for
his services. Fair looked at her in
blank astonishment. 1t was such
remarkable proceeding that he was
perfectly dumfounded and stared
at ner in silence. Modjcska WAS
equally puzzled, but Davis came to
her relief. I guess he wants MORE
be said. You had better make it
dollar Modjeska laid another half
dollar piece on the counter and then
walked out of the office.
''The next day they were offering
odds in the poolrooIn in Virginia
City that Fair took the dollar"

MARRIED IN FUN.

Curious Complications Sc:,ooIma'am
Mcrriment Brought About.
A teachers institute was held at
Springvillc, n. T., last May. One
of the prctticst schoolma ans in at
tendance vas Miss Ellen L. Clifford,
of the town of Boston. She was
nineteen, and engaged TO be mar
ried. Ebert r. Spaulding, aged
twcnty-one, is good looking clerk
in the leading dry-soods store Of
Springville. He was engaged to be
married to one Of the prominent
young women of Springvillc society,
and an heiress. Young Spaulding
is young man Of great expectations
himself The Gancc of Miss Clifford
was humble farmer OF no particular
fortune.
At the close of the teachers insti-
tute Miss Clifford aud some other
happy young schoolma' ans went out
for Il walk about the village. One
of the girls knew the good looking
dry-gcods clerk, and she said:
20, let's go see Bert Spaultiing!
I'll bet he'll treat to ice cream
They went to see Bert Spaulding.
He was busy and couldn't get out
just then, hut the girls went to an
ice cream parlor near by and ordered.
While they were eating their ice
cream young Spaulding, having got
over his rush at the store, came in.
He ordered some ice cream, and
while things were lively some OF the
girls said:
Why. Ellie Clifford! Wouldn't
you and Bert make nice couple to
be married.
There was a great laugh, and be-
fore it was over who should come in
but young James Wells. Everybody
knew him.
'Now let's have some fun," seid
one of the happy schoolma' ans.
Bert, you and Ellie stand up and
let Jimmie Wells do o mock mar
riagc."
The couple stood up, Jimmie Wells
performed the marriage in reeula-
tion style, and as ice D:rt treated
him to ice cream. Everybody had
good time and nothing more was
thought of it until James Wells hap
pcned to think that he had been
elected justice of the peace at the
last town meeting. Then there was
a time.
Now it happened that the parents
OF Miss Clifford did not approve of
the choice she had made in beconl-
ing engaged to be married to the
farmer, and when they heard Of the
supposed mock marriage they in i
sisted that it be made more valid by
a certificate. Miss Clifford did not
approve OF this, and Bert Spaulding
was not inclined to consider the
marriage binding. But the girls
parents brought such pressure to
bear on the young justice OF the
peace that he was obliged to make |
the ceremony more valid and issued |
the certificate Then Miss Clifford |
and MIR. SpauldinS consulted coun-
sci, and the result was the bringing
Of On nmicable action to have the
marriage annulled. Judge Ward, of
the supreme court, granted the or
der. Miss Clifford will now marry
her farmer and young Spaulding
will marry the heiress. and it Is said
It will be double wedding.-N. Y.

Few persons who are familiar with
emcralds in their cut and mounted
state have any i,.ca of the difficulties
experienced by those who would
traverse that part of the Andes
where lie the celebrated mines OF
Muzo. The scenery is of cxtraordi-
nary beauty, but in two DAYS riding
the traveller is Obliged to follow some
OF the most dangerous mountain
passes, and to make his way over
precipiccs where single false step
would dash him to destruction. The
emerald mines lie in 4 basin sur
rounded by high mountains in the
form of n circle. These mines are
now the property of the government
of Colombia, which rents them to
company employing five or six over
sccrS and about four hundred native
workmen. The means used for
working them is very primitive, but
they yield every year large amount
of precious stones, which arc immc-
diately shipped to Europe. The
band of rock containing the
precious crystals is more than
one thousand feet high, formed
of iron. Very few emeralds
are found in the black stone, but by
cutting down the face OF the i'm
mense precipice veins of white stone
are uncovered. This is known as
calcite, crystallizcd form of car
Donate of lime. The cmeralds are
sometimes imbeddcd. and sometimes
found in hollow cavities, and the
work of cutting down the side of the
rock is done by the natives, mostly
with 4 crowbar. a piece of rock a
yard wide is selected, running the
whole length of the mine on the top.
This is cut down few yards, and
then another level of the same is be-
gun again at the top, until the whole
breast of the rock appears to be a
monster staircase, the broken rub
bish having been thrown down to
the bottom of the precipicc. On the
bank opposite to the spot where the
cmcralds are taken out q stream OF
water is kept running by means of
sluiccs in q reservoir, and as the
sluiccs are opened every fifteen min
utcs the water is allowed to rush
down the rocks with great force,
the torrent clearing away all the
broken stone thrown down by the
miners since the last discharge

The Mouse Escaped.

A lady while engaged in the pur.

tered n mouse in the -four barrel.
Now, most ladies, under similar cir
cumstanccs, would have uttered q
few genuine shricks, and then sought
safety in the garnet, but this one
possessed more than the ordinary
degree of genuine courage.
She summoned the man servant
and told him TO get the gun, call the
dog and station himself at a con-
venient distance. Then she clam
bered half way upstairs and COM
menced to punch the flour barrel
with a pole.
Presently the mouse made its ap-
pcarance and started across tho
floor. The Jog at once went in pur-

dropped dead, the lady tainted and

thinking she was killed, and fearing
that he would be arrested for mur-

seen since. The mouse escaped
