This Noble Native American Sheep Threat
 ened With Extinction.
 The magnificent bighorn seems destined to follow the bison to tho happy hunting grounds, D where their native hunters have preceded thcn both. A few still survive In the National park, but from late advices fear their rapid disappearance is at hand. They arc still to be found, however, in northern British America and Alaska.
 Tho bighorn Is one of the noblcst of the bovine race. Compared with the domestic sheep, it is in every respect handsomer, more spirited and graceful, as well as larger and much moro intelligent. The limbs are long and sinowy, the neck rathor short-a long nccked animal could never carry such a head pieoe-the eyes arc rath- CT full and placed far back in the head, so as to take in broad range of vision; the hoofs arc pointed, like those of goat.
 The bottom of the hoof is soft and GOV cred with hair and is bordered by sharp rim of horn, giving the structure degree of elasticity and firmnoss that enables it to rest secure where the hoofs of other man. mals would find no foothold. A full grown male bighorn measures as much as 42 inches in height at the shoulder and weighs almost $50 pounds. oT
 The pecuilar glory or 0illb dniihai, us is recognized in his popular name, is the enormous size of the horns of the male. These magnificent appendages have been known to measure 8 feet inches along the curve and 16 inches in circumference at the base. The hollow horn of an adult will hold two gallons, and it has been sometimes used, though inoonveniently shaped for the purpose, by the Indians as vessel to contain water.-Our Animal Friends. .. - .

Languages.

There is philologist in the city who t]iyides all languages into three classes the heavy, the light and tho iniddling Tho German is heavy, the French light and the English middling. The Chinese is heavy, the Hindoo light and the Japanese mddling. In ancient times the Hebrew was heavy, the Greek light and the Latin middling Among the North American Indians the Ojibway language is heavy, tho Kickapoo light and the Seminole mid ding.
 The philologist gave Illustrations of his theory in all the languages here enumer- ated. He argued that the races which speak the heavy languages are the most superstitious, those which speak the light are most romantic, while those which speak the middling arc tho most practical and successful. In doing this he tried to demonstrate each of his propositions by the history of tho races spoken of.
 His theory has been laid before several members of the American Pathological ns- sociation, all of whom have thus far de- clined 60 mark their approval of it.-New York Sun. l-f- -i4Dt

distance fail;
When the rath wheat gently rustlcs. and the
timid aspcns SILVER,
And the west winds signing softly scent from
sleeping flowers bring;
When the pccwits cry together plaintively by
brook and river,
Then it is l hear the old song that my mother
used to sing
Round my neck feel the pressure of her fin.

AS in sleeping dreams and waking have felt

Just as when Of old / listened to that ditty,

Till the boughs that waved above us caught
the cadence of the rhymes
And my heart throbs loud and quickly as
hear it rising clearer.
Youth is mine, its hopes and visions, dreams
and plans, are mine again.
Earth is fairer, life is swoeter-aye, and heaven
itself seems nearer
To me as list in fancy to that ne'er forgot,

It goes down 10 or - feet. but about
6 feet below the top, there is an elbow,
where the child caught. Her cries
attracted attention aud she was
found with upstretched arms
MI Guthrie was Just able to reach them,
aud he pulled her up until her head was
near the top Of the pipe, when, owing 20
q slight variance in the size OF the pipe,
she became fast.
All attempts to move her further were
fruitless, and finally, as last resort, the
wall was torn down, and the earth dug
from around the pipe. when it was bro
ken, aud the child released The whole
neighbOrhood had gathered ia the mean
time.-It was found that she had fallen
into the pipe with the lower portion of
one of her legs xtending cross ways, and
this formed the wise which held her.

ally follows that the miners are still idle,
even to those employed at the Home

quit that It was folly to try to run any
longer.
There seems to be no hope of a settle
ment soon. Most of the miners who
quit work several days ago were near
the Home mine this morning, to use
their persuasive powers on men who
would work. The Home River
side people did not like the
looks of things and notified
the police station, asking that officers be
sent to the mine to keep she strikers
from interfering. There were no police
men convenient, so none were sent The
mine owners said they would hold the
city responsible for any damage that
might be done
The situation so far as coal is concerned
IS becoming alarming.
Joseph Nerichow, a miner employed at
the Riverside coal shaft, appeared at the
police station Sunday night bearing
ample evidence of having received
brutal treatment. There was a long
Jagged cut on his head, his face bore
marks of violence and he was otherwise
bruised. Nerichow explained 10 Ser
