There used to be deal more variety

Now, this Is largely changed. Lead.

as peaceful as the average town OF its
size In or out of the mining region.

Curious Crystals Said to BE the Tears
of Weeping Fairies.

Curious Crystals Said to BE the Tears
of Weeping Fairies.
The queer, cross-shaped crystals of sill
cate that are known to the inhabitants of
Virginia as fairy stones have long puzzled
the most noted geologists of the world, says
the New York World. just why silicate
should crystalline Is the first problem thas
confronts them, and the second is why the
crystallization should always assume the
form of a cross.
1t Is only In one part of Virginia that
these stones are found. Patrick county 10
the favored locality, but almost every Viz
ginian has sent to some friend or neighbor
for a specimen, for they are supposed to be
a lucky stone.
Indeed, no self-respccting citizen of the
old dominion will be found with rabbits
foot in his possession nowadays, and he must
have fairy stone for a mascot Thelegend
which gives these little crystals such .
reputation for luck is not only old but is
quantity beautiful.
When the crucifixion took place the fairies
of that particular section OF Virginia were
overwhelmed with grief and their tears in
falling crystallized into tiny crosses. For
many years the fairy stones have been the
particular mascots of Patrick county citi-
zens and it was only by accident that the
fame of the emblems has spread.
A few months ago certain Col Proper
went into the m ountains of that county on q
prospecting tour, and while there put up az
a farmhouse. He noticed that ali .le people
about the place were wearing irregular, cross
shaped crystals, and on asking found out the
significance of the custom. Hesecured ono
ard within few days struck a bonanza
Shortly after the gallant colonel appeared
in Washington, his studs, cuff buttons and
scarf pins all made of fairy stones. Con-
gressmen and even grave Senators hadsered
him for mascot, but only favored few
secured tue coveted lucky stones. The fairy
stones are scarce and are found after dill
gent search in the beds of the streams, along
the tiried-up channels OF brooks and rivuiets-

Disinterested.

It is said that the extraordinary inf1u-
ence which Agassiz exertcd over men who
had only a slight perception of the scope
Of his wonderful mental powers was due
as much to u universal belief in his disin-
terestedness rs to his magnetic personality.
Mr.. e. p. Whipple once told an incident
which illustrated this faot.
On one occasion, when his museum was
In need of money for a purely scientific
purpose, he invited the members of the
legislature Of the state of Massachusetts
to visit it, with the design Of inducing
them to vote the sum he required. After
a short, persuasive address delivered in the
hall of the museum, he led them over the
building, pointing out the great things
that had been achieved and the still great.
or things that were to follow If his plan
was carried out.
In ascending the stairs I happened to
overhear two Intelligent legislators, evil
IDENTIFY farmers, who were considering the
propriety Of giving the proposed Legislative
aid.
II don't know much" said one, ''about
the value Of this museum as a means OF
education, but Of n thing I am certain
THAT if we give Agassiz the money he
wants, he will not make q dollar by it.
That's in his favor"
The appropriation was made a day or
two after, though it was generally consid-
cred that no other man could have wrung
the sum from the reluctant hands of that
economical legislature.

.Unole Billy,s. Political Record.

In every county Of Kentucky you will
find a lot of old men who take great pride
In telling you that for 40 or maybe so
years they have never voted anything but
the Democratic ticket. They began per-
haps with jackson and have come on down
the line. An old man Of this sort, who
was called Uncle Billy and who was very
close listed, one day saw a group of voters
about Governor Proctor Knott. Uncle
Billy, leaning on his tall staff, edged his
way in and asked to DO introduced. HI
was formally presented "as the oldest vot-
or in the county, eyes, gov'nor,' said
Uncle Billy, with evident pride, II Ger
tainly am the Oldest voter in the county.
Eff airy man will fetch a man as has
tlrowed more Democrat votes than 1 hev,
I'll furnish the liquor" Hercupon sew
eral of the crowd, knowing Uncle Billy's
stinginess, but eager for any chance to
come into a treat, pricked up their ears,
and Uncle Billy, noticing this and be-
coming alarmed at the probable outlay if
he should DO proved wrong, hemmed and
hawed and added, "Thatis I'll furnish the
liquor to airy man as fetcles the man.

Death and Rest.

The lines engraved on Professor Hux-
ley's tombstone show a confusion Of
thought that n would not expect in the
burial place of this great man:
And il there be no meeting past the grave,
If all is darkness, silence, yet tits rest.
1t Is not rest. There Is no rest where there
Is no consciousness. Rest implies con-
seriousness. We lie down, we sit down, to
rest; we enjoy the repose. If death is IN
Inhalation, there is nothing; neither light
nor darkness; neither work nor rest.
There is nothing. There are no words by
which we can express humiliation, be-
cause there are no thoughts by which we
can understand the state of nothingness.
To mo this total inability to understand
nothingness is one Of the thousand indi-
cations Of the continuity Of life.-Waltor
Besent,

Hadn't Earned the Reward.

A fat man carrying q gun n leading Il
dog made a dash down Market street for
the Oakland ferryboat. He could have
caught it If he had walked quietly along,
but he became excited, and old Time COM
menced having fun with him. The dog
would run on the wrong side of telegraph
poles II hydrants, and tangle up his
chain in the legs of pedestrians. By the
time spent in apologizing and untangling
the dog he was delayed till the little gate
closed in his face. Then he ran around to
the big gate, lodged around a mail wag-
on, and made Il run for the boat. The deck
hands raised the apron n the boat NOV
cd slowly out, but he was determined to
catch it, and, gripping his gun and dog
chain a little tighter, made a run and
sprang into the air. The boat was only six
feet away, but the dog baked at the apron.
The hunter stopped in tho middle of his
leap, his feet flew out toward the steamer,
and he dropped into the bay like a bale of
hay. A small boy whgSwas fishing from
the wharf dropped his pole, splashed into
the water, ana towed the fat mar to a
pile, where he chung Jill a boatman pulled
him out.
"My boy, you saved my life." he ex-
claimed enthusiastically, rs he kicked tho
dog and tried to wiring the water out of
his shotgun. "Lot me reward YOU"
He thrust his hand into his clammy
pocket and fished out a wet 10 cent piece.
"There, my boy; take that, but don't
spend it foolishly."
"No, sir; I can't take it, SIR" The
boy pushed the generous hand aside. 81

USED A TRAINED HORSE.

A Robber Band That Captured Its VIC
Tins In a Novel Manner.
"When I was in Nebraska, near the
6nake river, north of the Great Sand hill,
In 1862" said a Lewiston citizen, 1--WE had
four camps situated about Is miles apart,
and to go from Thorno's camp to Durham
camp 1T was necessary to go through q
long piece Of pine woods. For a number of
months every who had gone. through
the woods alone never came back. One
day it was necessary that I should go
through with a lot of money and no escort,
and l set out OF a horse that I got from q
stable keeper near Thorne camp. When /
had nearly reached the woods five miles
out, my horse was taken i'll and foaming
at the mouth and refused to go on. Clear
ly to my medical eye it had been poisoned
slightly by ION one. A man not SO we'll
up in medicine might not have known it.
Soon what looked like a hunter came along

Bad SDellers.

Sarah Bernhardt cannot spell well, and
one Of our own most cherished actresses
does not always spell correctly. In a re-
cent autograph letter of hers we find 600
oured.' Then Bismarck never could spell.
He himself has confessed to "a lack of
diligence at school," as q consequence of
which his letters contain many spelling
errors. John Bright was another states
man somewhat weak in the same particu-
lar. Even Oliver Wendell Holmes made q
mistake in spelling the rather common
word "indispensable," which he wrote
"indispensible.'

The First Inquest

The nearest approach to the holding Of
. judicial inquiry into the cause Of death
in England occurred us long ago as the
year 1900, when, according to an old wri-

able persons were summoned together to
hear and consider the testimony of any
who could speak with authority regarding
the death Of a digger in the fields named

She Mournad.

To those who can tell an Irish story

RS, this is suggested as a good one:
Mrs. S. was much interested at ono
time in a poor widow whom she had en-
ployed, who found great difficulty in get
ting a living. After a while, however, the
widow married a man with some money
and in q fair business, and Mrs. S. rejoiced
over her fortunate prospects. A few weeks
later, however, she met the former widow
dressed in the deepest of mourning. Shock
ed and sympathetic, Mrs. S.. said, "Why,
Mary, I hope you have not met with any
loss.
