With Nothing bat Chinese Medicine and
Pair OF Boots to Eat
A Chinese miner, who, with a companion,
was lostin the snow amid the rugged mount
aims of Plupas county. has been found,
nearerdead than alive saws the Oroville Mer-
curry. For ten days he lived in a hollow tree,
with nothing to eat but GONE Chinese med
icine and scraps OF leather cut from his boots.
When rescued by party OF white miners his
feet, from which he had cut the boots for
food, were terribly frozen, and he was so
weak he could hardly move. The seaTcherS
could find no trace OF his companion, Whois
certain to have persisted.
There are a large number of Chinese mi
ners at Browns Hill and two of the number
lest the camp TO go to La Porte, distance
of sixteen miles to procure some Chinese
medicine for the use of the members OF the
camp. Tho weather was then good and the
two Chinese proceeded safely over tbs snow
to La Porte, procured the medicine, stayed
over night, and started back the next morn
ing. During their trip back q anowstorm
came up and the Chinese became bewidered
and hopelessly lost in the rough, mountain
GUS country. They both had different ideas
as 10 which direction TO take and finally
quarreled and separated. One OF them had
not gone far before he found q hollow tree,
wherein lie was somewhat sheltered from
the storm. He had matches with him and
built a small fire, and croucEiug over that,
he lived for ten days. When their COmpan-
ions did not return TO Browns Hill the
Chinese became alarmed and went TO La
Porte, where they SscertaiBcd that they had
been there and started back. Then the
white men about Cascade and Lumpkin were
notified and search parties went out.
John Kitrick. while searching with a
companion for the lost men, noticed EmOks
down in canyon. He went down there and
in tree found the poor Chinee nearly dead
Leaving him there, Mr.. Kitrick went rorhelp
and the unfortunate man was taken to the
settlement on q sled.
His experience during those ten days had
seen fearful. As the psnsE OF hunger came
upon him he took off his boots parched them
over the fire and ate them and drank the
medicine. When he found his boots were all
gone and his feet frozen and he " ~ 80 weak
he could not stand he had given up all hope.
So grateful was he that when camp was
reached he gave his rcECucrH 500 in gold
dust, all that he had. He viii recover.

A skeleton in Evsry Clsaot.

1t is said that the expression There is a
skeleton in every closet arose from the fol-
lowing incident:
A young Italian studeRt, fiading that he
was dying, fearing TO break the news to his
mother, adopted the folio wing device:
Be informed her that he was i'll and it had
been feretold he would not recover until he
had worn shirt msso By woman who
had no trouble. The widow soon dis
covered that it was 40 easy task 10 find
such a person, but at length was referred
to a lady who seemed surrounded with
every comfort and happiness and possess
ing a husband who seemed devoted to her.
The widow made known her request and
for au answ wer was shown q closet where
skeleton hung Suspe ended from beam. She
was told ii was the remains Of the lady's
former lover, who, from motives of Jea lousy,
had been slain by her husband and thath he
compelled her to visit it every day
The widow concluded that no one was
without trouble, that there was skeleton
in every closet" and became recOnciled to
the approaching loss Of her son.-Loudon

All the organist's passion for his art was
NOW concentrated into sublime and puri-
fled affection. They spoke not Of this life,
which held 80 little and so brief a good
for them, but their thoughts and their con-
vorsation were turned toward the future,
the eternal. 1t was already 80 near TO
one Of them that the other vision was
made real. A few more pGrtinga, a few
more greetings, and the world would be
left behind. Until then they solaced
each other with those fC4N attentions
which usually accompany the days OF
courtzhip. How much a little served that
devoted pair, and what eompensations
came into their lives only those know who
love through all suffering and in every
mTsfortune. The least trifles made the
day bright. They arranged and rear
ranged their two rooms, each time with
some new device to make them more fresh
and attractive or mora comfortable and
convenient. There was an air of refine
ment which fingers long and is latest TO
be lost in the home Of those who have known
better days. They made a few flowers
bought ef the street vender, Rslf alive, live
a week by careful nursing, and then the
green leaves, if by chance there were any,
would be kept fresh even longer.
The table was Sprsad as neatly IS IL they

But of late their diminished and precari-
Gus iucene had forced them to face the
stern necessities OF their situation and re-
dace to the last point every item of their
expenditures. Ambrose often demonstrated

anxiety that his wife left him on the morning
of her birthday, which she had herself for
gotten. After she had gone it occurred to
him how fond Margaret was of fruit, al

brought to him. The small silver coin, long
treasured, the last remnant OF his earnings,
would buy little, enough at least, to show

Painfully he struggled down the stairs

them. His silver piece would buy but few
