TupElNa ADVENTURE.

Jack and Ted I,ad u Little More Hun
Than They BarGaincd For.
"When was boy" said Umcle John
as he sat on the porch and watched the
sun go down behind tho hill, II man
aged to have pretty good time up
here on the farm. How do you find it,
boys?"
1--WE do too said Ted. u guess there
aren't many things that we haven't
tried, are there, JACKIE"
"Wc'yc been here only q week" re-
piled jack. "pnd we know every corner
az the farm, and we've tried every way
Of excitement. We have great fun
sliding down che ice house roof and
bringing the cows in and riding the
horses down in the field. Did YOU liyc
here when You were 4 boy, Uncle
John?'
why, Of course" said their uncle. II

my business wasn't in Japan I'd be here

cs we used to dol" and Uncle John
laughed heartily as he thought OF it,
"Oh do tell us about it," cried the
boys. and SO after lighting his pipe, lie
commenced:
I'VE boys had very inventive minds
and were up to all sorts OF capers, so
it is no wonder that after reading in
the fairy tale OF the old woman who
was rolled down the hill in u caslk we
decided to sec what her sensations were
like. We got n large and strong casli
which belonged to grandfather, taking
care to pull all the nails out, however,
and fixed il to start on its travels. We
lined it with old grain sacks to make
it more comfortable, and then three of
us boys piled in, and the fourth sent the
barrel rolling down the hill. 1t was
the strangest sensation l ever felt ana
after practicing for awhile we grew
quite fond of the sport, although it was
quite dangerous one, and called it
tubing The old drawback was in
getting the old tub up the hill again,
but after awhile we remcdied that by
rigging up sort of pulley attach
mcnt."
ut must have been fine!" cried Ted
and Jack together, and just then Tom
Winters, the boy who lived on the next
farm, came up and the next subject was
forgotten.
The next day when the boys were
rummaging underneath the old corn
crib looking for some mischief TO get
into they came upon queer old barrel
which brought Uncle Johns story back
to their minds.
II guess this is the tub Uncle John
was telling us about" said Ted. Isn't
it n queer old machine. say, boys
to Jack and Tom Winters-"let's try
| it! Uncle said he used to think it great
sport"
So the old cask was rolled out and
brushed quite clean and then hoisted on
| the wheelbarrow and wheeled to the
top of Sunset hill. The hill was quite
steep, which was all the better for the
purpose, the boys thought, but it was
n question in which direction it should
be started. The woods commenced at
the foot of the hill to the south; the
railroad track was toward the cast,
the pond toward the west, SO north was
the only feasible direction to take, al
though 1t did seem rather rocky
and quite steep. Only two Of the
boys could go at once-the third had
to be left behind to start the tub roll
| ing. Tom Winters took look Mt the
sidehill before him and then kindly
volunteered to do this, while Jack and
Ted took the first ride. So they
crawled in.
| When all was rcady Tom Winters
showed the barrel, and off it went gayly
skipping down the side of the hill. At
the very first turn Ted and Jack knocked
heads violently. Unfortunately, they
had forgotten thnt when Uncle John
went down there were three inside.

which made II q comfortable mt.
At the second turn they were thrown
against the side OF the barrel, and be-
fore they had turned half dozen times
they were sorry they hadn't taken
Uncle Johns word for 1t and not tried
Il themselves. Over and over they went,
bruised and beaten about till they were
almost insensible, and there was no way
OF stopping their steed until the loot
OF the incline should be reached.
Had they been capable of herring they
would have heard a great shout from
Tom Winters and have wondered what
it meant. When the barrel was about
half way down IL struck large stone,
which, instead OF stopping IL, turned its
course TO the west, and Tom was horri-
fed to see it steering for the pond The
water wasn't very deep, but even in
shallow water two boys coopcd up in
barrel stood very little chance Of saving
themselves. IL was then that Tom
shouted, and, taking 90 his heels, fol-
lowed the notwithstanding tub as quick
as he could run. But. OF course, he
could not reach the pond before the bar
rel The boys inside were unconscious
of their danger, but they were not un-
conscious of the many soncrsaults they
had turned, nor OF the many bruises
they were receiving. -,
With crash and n bang the old tub
came in contact with another Nargps
stone, and in u minute the new convey
ancc was in fragments, and the boys,
followed by some of the staycs, were
thrown into the pond by TIE impetus
which they had gained. Fortunately,
TOMS call had been heard by Uncle
John, and he was on the spot ia mar
yeiously short space of time, consider
ing what sedatc bachelor he was. 1t
WAS well that he had not entirely for
gotten his athletic training, too, for tho
poor, bruised boys would have found it
very hard work TO get themselves out
OF the water. and Tom Winters couldn't
swim. In fact, there was not n square
inch OF space on their bodies that was
not blael: and blue.
| Uncle John was blamed for this adj
venture because he had suggested it by
his story. lie says even IL tho boysarc
bis nephcws, they are the most stupid

Peculiar Effect the "CrcrpIng Clay" in
Comstoci Lode Has Upnn Timbers
In half dozen mining offices in San
Francisco there are small slabs or hard
black wood, four by ten inches, that
always puzzle strangers, especially
workers in wood from the east. These
four-iuch slabs were once seycntecn-
by-seventccn inch timbers OF Nevada
pine, and their present condition is
due to the fact that for few we ars
they were subjected to tremendous
pressure exerted by millions upon mil
lions of tons of earth. The fibcrs of
this wood are so closely crowded to-
gether that when polished the sla lbs
look more like stone than wood.
All the history of the Comstocls
lode, speaking recently of this wood,
governed and regulated rs it has al
ways been by men in San Francisco, is
peculiar, but of all the stories in the
mines of this lode there is none more
peculiar than the Creeping clay" and
the compressed timbers. From 1874 to
1s77 the Big bonanza was worked
down to n decentralization level,
but ut one thousand one hundred feet
the managers stopped and concluded
| to drift off to the east. This brought
them to n position where large pro-
| portion of side of mountain was
pressing upon the quartz bed. There
was u body Of ore shaped like n water
melon and in size about equal to four
Palace hotels. 1t was this ore that
made the fortunes of SO many men.
There was a wall running down at an
angle of about forty-five degrees and
this wall marked the limits of the
loose earth which contained this wa
termelon of ore, and this same loose
earth was continually moving.
| Immediately surrounding the lump
of ore was clay, and this clay so moved

force that nothing could stand against
it. From the decentralization Level

of ore. There was gallery where the
car ran along for the taking out of the
ore, and from this gallery ran the
smaller drifts. Above, below and or

seventies.
A report reached army headquarters
that the indians had swarmcd down

had just received his commission was
dispatched to the scene to ascertain
the authenticity OF the rumor. A few
hours after his arrival in the village
he sent this dispatch to the command

Whereupon the commanding Office

"Your report is unintelligible. We

PARROT AND HAWK.

Quoer Fight Witnessed by an Americas
Journalist In Mexico.
A correspondent from Mexico gives
us the following information of light
between n hawk and n parrot, ending in
the downfall of the former:
The onslaught was commenced by
the hawk, who swooped down into the
brush when he was quite distance OFT.
Pretty soon there was the most extrnor-
binary racket in the scrub oak.
The parrot had the hawks neck in
his claws and was driving away with
his hook bill at the hawks head. The
hawk was willing enough to quill. but
couldn't.
They few up and down. first one on
top and then the other. II was not n
long fight. The hawk seat his adver-
sary with his wings, and even got his
tail and beak to work; but tie req -and-
green bird was too big and rtrong for
him, and would not release his grip q
moment. Before the gentleman got
very near the hawk ceased fightirg.
The parrot had apparently sunk hiss
talons through the hawks ncrk, and
that Is probably the reason they did not
separate. When the hawk got quiet
tho parrot managed to discngage hiia-
self and flew up into q tree, where he re-
NAMED, scolding and STRENGTHENING
his feathers. He was pretty badly
scratched up, and one Of his eyes
seemed to be gone, but he had killed the
hawk.
