TEN DAY IN FREE.
with, Nothing nut Chinese Medicines -
Pair Of Boots 20 Eat.

With,Nothina But Chinese Medicines 49,
: Pair Of Boots % Eat.
| "A Chinese miner, who, with 2 COM
panion, was lost in the snow amid the
rugged mountains Of P1umas county,
has been found, nearer dead than alive.
For ten days, says the oroville Mer-
curry, he lived ID hollow tree, with
nothing to eat but some 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 terri
bly, frozen, and he was so weak he could
hardly move. The searchers could find
no trace Of his companion, who is GER
tain to have persisted.
There was large number of Chinese
mining at Browns Hill. and February
Is two Of the number left the camp to
90 to La Porte, a distance of sixteen
miles, to procure some Chinese medi-
cine, for the use Of the members OF the
camp. Then the weather was good, and
the two Chinese proceeded safely over
medicine, stayed over night and started
back the next morning. During their
trip back on the Goth snowstorm came
up and the Chinese became bewildered
and hopelessly lost in the rough, noun
famous country. They each had diff
ferent ideas as to- which direction to
take, and finally quarreled and sep
arated One Of them had not gone far
before he found hollow tree, wherein
he was somewhat sheltered from the
storm. He had matches with him and
built small fire, and, crouching over
that, he lived for ten days. When their
companions did not return to Browns
Hill the Chinese became alarmed and
went to La Porte, where they ascer-
tanned that they had been there and
started back. Then the white men
about Cascade and Lumpkin were no
tilted and search parties went out.
The other day John Kitrick, while
searching with companion for the lost
man, noticed smoke down in canyon.
He went down there, and in a tree
found the poor Chinese nearly dead.
Leaving him there, Mr.. Kitrick went
for help, and the unfortunate man was
taken to the settlement on sled.
His experience during those ten days
had been fearful. As the pangs Of hun
ger 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 was so weak he
could not stand, he had given up all
hone. So grateful was he that when
camp was reached he gave his rescuers
fifty dollars in gold dust, all that he
had. He will recover. {

foRTY-six. MARRIAGES q DAY.

~ Novel Breton Custom with Many Pto.
turesqua and AlirthfuI Esatures.
The peasants Of Brittany and their
quaint dress and customs have long
ffulrn1ish b rich mat erial Tor the artists
and wrkers who flock thither il SUM
mer. Il is in the winter, howev-
er, when the painters and frivo-
lous Parisians have fitted homeward,
that unique ceremony takes place In
the picturesque commune of Plougastel.
Since time immemorial, says the New
York World, it has been the custom
there not to marry during Advent, and
so early in January each year there is
day set apart for the wholesale we'd
ding of those who have succeeded in
arranging their affairs Of the heart
during the holy season. The number
of couples united on these occasions is
generally above score, but the record
was broken this year when forty six
were married in single day.
There is no better example of the
proverbial thriftiness of the Bre-
tons than this custom. The fami-
lies of the young people COM
bine and secure from the inn
keepers considerable abatement in
the cost of the eatables and drinka bles
which are consumed in large quantities
after the ceremony. A greatnumber of
people from neighboring towns are al
ways present at this annual modifying,
which is made exceedingly attractive
by the picturesque costumes of the par
Elephants. The maidens wear white
caps from which stream long, bright
colored ribbons. Their dresses are
trimmed with gold fringe or yellow
satin, and they wear light green or
greenish yellow aprons. About the
waist is bound gold-fringed sash of
blue silk. The men wear short trousers
of brown cloth, round jackets of va
rious shades of blue, worsted belts of
the same color, green vests and black
hats ornamented with white and blue
ribbons.
The religious ceremony is proceeded
by the civil one at the Marie, or town
hall. At this, in order to conform with
the French law, it is necessary to read
to each couple that lengthy portion of
the code which relates to marriage. The
strain upon the voice of NJ. Nicole, the
mayor, was SO great at the last occasion
that he was compelled to devote two
entire forenoons to the forty-six
couples.
After the ceremony at the church the
newly welded pairs, observing an
ancient custom, proceed in a body to a
shrine of great antiquity outside the
village, after which they scatter among
the wine shops of the town, where
feasts have been prepared for them and
their guests. This year the accommoda-
tions were insufficient, and many ate in
tents. The fetes which follow the we'd
dings last week and are marked by a
vast consumption of food and drink, the
singing of Breton songs, and general
mirth and jollity.
For generations none of the inhabi-
tants has ever married outside of Plou-
gastel, for he or she who seeks mate
in the world beyond the narrow bounds
Of the commune is cond emned topper
petual and complete ostracism.

One Thing and Another.

A prominent physician says: "Do nos
lance the gums of infants. If they are
red and irritated, there must be some 9th
er condition to account for the trouble. ;"
He does not think that normal dentition
is to be interfered with.
Sore or inflamcd eyes are relieved By
bathing in tepid or warm water in which
d little salt has been dissolved. An indi-
vidual towel should be used in all such
cases-never one which is used in common
by members of the family.
