A Hundred Men Under Arms-No Demon
 strations by the Indians.
 Salt Lake City, July 30.-The first re- liable news of the Indian troubles at Jackson's Hole proper which has been received for more than a week, came by messenger via Griggs. Ida, from Fort Wilson, little place located in the cen- ter of the valley in Jackson's Hole, over 100 miles from any railroad. The dispatch is dated July 26 and says: All the people of the valley are gathered at Wilson's ranch for protection. One hundred men are under arms.
 Night before last council of war was held and four men selected to reconnoi- ter and locate the Indians but as yet the scouts have not returned. The Indians must have been away back or left the districts altogether, as no red skins have been seen for three or four days.
 A company of volunteers came into Fort Wilson from Teten Wednesday, after travelling all night. Exaggerated reports of the trouble led them to be- lieve that help was badly needed at the Hole, but on ther arrival here they vera surprised to find all quiet A consulta- ton was held as to the advisability of going out and fighting the Indians. It was decided to remain passive for hte present
 The camp covers nearly five acres. The Indians are now in the mountains, and may make a descent on the settlers when they are not looking for them, but the opinion is that if they had been on the war path properly they would have attacked Fort Wilson before this.

GOOD ADVICE.
Don't Taik Too Much if You Would Have
 Many Friends.

Many Esicnds.
 Friendship is a great and glorious in- stitution whose praise we all sing, but svhasn vaira ss..aaia aDDreeiate or we , would not do so many thousand and one things that tend to disspatc it. To begin with, if you have "A circle of charming friends. do not think tliat you can impose on their good nature too often. They may bo very, very fond of you. but they do not care to be continually reminded of your woes, of whatever nature they may be.
 There arc some, oh, so pitifully few, exceptions, that actually sympathize with you and want to helpyou. As u rule, how ever, directly you make n wry face you can sec the change creep into tho warmth of their welcome. Tho shadow aims the sunshine of thoir smile. It doesn't pay to jeopardize friendship by being too conf dential.
 If you are poor and do not like being so keep the fact and the hatred of it 10 your self. Put the best foot forward, and when you meet your friends let them discover themselves that you are pluckily lighting your own battles, and do not ask either their sympathy or their aid. You are ever so much more certain of getting both when the time of need arrives than if you go cry ing wolf and talking poverty so contin-
  a nuisance.
 If you are unhappy in your domestic life, how much more respect will be your quota if you keep all the annoying family troubles to yourself. People may feel sorry for you, but after awhile you get to be bore whom they will take pains to avoid, whereas, if you do not annoy them with your grievances, you will be continually received with n glad welcome and they will put themselves out of the way to meet you.
 Tho world is too full of sorrow for even friendship to seek out some narrowing symptoms of it in another in order to sym pathize with it. Laugh and tho world laughs with you; weep and you weep ; alone" is very truthful sentiment. Cast aside your own little worriments when you meet your friends and you will remain popular always, but if you trespass on their affection for you and annoy them with your real or fancied grievances you will find yourself out in the cold before you can say "Jack Robinson.

 Chicago, July 30-Mr. Cigrande. the father of the missing Emeine, who is supposed to have been murdered by H. H. Holmes, and Philomena, her sister, arrived from their home in Anderson, Ind, this morning and paid an early visit to Inspector Fitzpatrick. They were accompanied by Dr. B. J. Cigrande, a cousin of the reputed victim. They were closeted with the inspector and Chief Badenoche for over one hour The only new information they have was concerning a trunk, which was recieved at Oxford, O.. where the Cigrandes lived, q few days after the announcement of the employer of the girl that she had dis appeared.
 The trunk contained only few clothes and was readily identified as the property of Emilne. There was no note or other words accompanying it, and the police will at once begin work on this slight clue. They will endeavor to discover, if possible what express company handled the trunk
 "I believe firmly that my daughter was murdered by Holiness" said MT. Cgrande. "In no other way can we ac- cOuHt TOT Her uiSdppedid lhe poliS1 did not give us any information in re- gard to her whereabouts.

some ROYAL Crowns.

The crowns of Spain, Portugal and
Poland are all three of the same form,
and are described by Colonel Parsons i'll
his Genealogical Tables of Europe as
"dncal coronets heightened UP with
eight arched diadems supporting a
mound, unsigned with a plain gold
cross. - The crowns of Denmark and
Sweden are of almost similar shape,
consisting of the eight arched diadems,
rising from a marquis cOronet Ga circle
of gold bordered with ermine set round
witRA four strawberry leaves and as
many pearls on pyramidical points of
equal height, alternately, which conjoin
at the top under a mound unsigned with
a cross botonnee. The kings of most
other continental countries are crowned
with circles of gold, adorned with pre-
cious stones and heightened up with
large "trefoils," and closed by four, six
or eight diadems supporting a mound
surmounted by a cross. The trefoil upon
the crown is thought to be of Gothic in
PRODUCTION.
We find it upon the coins of Clovis
and his sons, which has induced anti
uuaries to call it the Flower de luce"
(the lily of France represented in gold
ON a blue ground), but, the fact is, these
trefoils were used on Constantinopolitan
crowns before the time of the Franks,
and afterward ON those of German
princes in no way allied to Charlie
magne. Aubrey, celebrated authority
upon heraldry, was of opinion that the
flower de luce is really nothing more
than spearhead adorned, no flower of
the lily kind having the middle part
solid. The sultan of Turkey bears over
his arms turban, enriched with pearls
and diamonds, under two coronets. the
first of which is made of pyramidical
points, heigL tened up with large pearls,
and the uppermost is surmounted with
crescents. Chambers Journal.

A statement accompanied it to the
effect that workman in a silverware

was passing through a rolling machine.
This explanation being satisfactory, 9

WAS PARADISE ATTHE NORTH POLE
Many Biologists Contend That the Garden
of Eden Was In the Arctic Regions.

MANY Biologists Contend That the Garden
of Eden Was In the Arctic Regions.
In an interesting and highly instruct
i've article Edward S. Martin, in the
Ladies' Home Journal, reviews the nu-
merous theories advanced by scientists
in the endeavor to solve the perplexing
problem as to the exact location of the site
of the garden of Eden. After sitting the
theories the writer concludes that the
question is no nearer answered than 1t
was 1000 years ago, and that there are
no present indications that the matter
will ever be definitely settled by any
man. To one Of the latest and most in
genious theories Mr.. Martin thus re-
fers:
The north pole will seem at first
thought of the average investigator the
most unlikely site on earth for paradise
to have occupied. Nevertheless several
sober and thoughtful books and PAM
phlets have been written in support of
the north poles pretensions. The north
pole nowadays is bitter cold, but 1T has
not always been so. Biologists tell us
that the earth was excessively hot
WneQ IL urSU began lJs COuISe-IuuCH IOO
hot to admit of the presence of any liv-
ing creatures, except, perhaps, sala-
mander. AS it grew cooler vegetation
began on it, and then il began to be
peopled, first with fishes, and then with
birds and beasts, finally with man.
The first spot on earth to get cool
enough to use was the north pole. In
the process of time it got too cold, but
there must have been a long period
when the polar region was the most
comfortable part of the world. During
this period, many eminent biologists be-
lieve, there existed around the north pole
a continent now submerged, and that on
that continent our progenitors were
comfortable in their first home. 1t is
known with entire certainty that the
polar region was once warm enough for
tropical vegetation to grow there. There
was light enough also for such vegeta-
tion-abundant light, indeed, for all
uses and plenty for primeval man.
Geology tells us that man might have
lived at the north pole.

years ago Flannaghan could not calcu-

Three years ago, however, while Flan-
naghan was steadily chopping cotton,
sudden thought came to him. He turn
ed to the negro nearest to him and yell
ed out, "a bale er cotton dat weighs
500 pound wen cotton is gwine at
3-16 cents, will fotch $50. 93A." Since
then Flannaghan has proved a prodigy.

A Ready Answer.

When Admiral Stephen b. Luce was a
young lieutenant ON the old ship Con-
stellation, he was known equally for
his capabilities as an officer and for his
FOSTERING tendencies. His readiness to
wit was also "a marked quality, as is
shown by the following story, that is a
favorite in the wardrooms of the navy
to this day. The ship was at Newport,
and the lieutenant entered fully into the
social pleasures of that gay city. As he
went aboard one evening, after an aft
ernoon out, the officer of the deck no.
ticed that his step was not as steady
as it might be, and in his sternest tones
said, "Mr. Luce, you're tight, sir -

OVER of THE JAWS.
The Pressure They Exert In the Mastica-
ton of Meat Food.

According to the Investigations OF Dr.
G. V. Black. the muscular strength Of
the Jaws compares favorably with that
OF any part Of the body.
10 crush d piece Of steak, according
to Dr. Black, bito of 40 to 45 pounds
is necessary-that is, if the proper ma
chine were SO rugged that, by seizing a
double lever between the jaws, an OBJ
ioct could be lifted from the floor, a 40
pound weight could be raised by the
steak. Repeat this effort every time you
chew, and you get an idea Of how much
exercise is required to eat ones dinner
And what makes it harder still is that
most people habitually use much more
force than is necessary in chewing their
food. For instance in chewing steak
whose crushing point is at 40 to 40
pounds. the persons tested by DR.. Black
used force of 60 to so pounds-from
Is to 40 pounds more than was neces-
sary. All this extra force of course is
worse than wasted, but probably the
generality of manhood will keep on
wasting strength just so till more sys-
tematic method of eating is adopted
But Dr. Black did not confine him
self to steak in his experiments He
tested all kinds of meat and found that
mutton chops may be crushed with an
expenditure Of 20 to 40 pounds OF
strength. Broiled ham and roast beef
require the greatest amount-45 to &c
pounds - while pork chops may be
chewed with force of 20 to 20 pounds,
and the choicest parts of cold boiled
tongue with 3 to pounds. These Of
course are averages. Tough meat of any
kind is still harder to crush-for in
stance, tough beef and mutton tested by
DR.. Black required in some cases
crushing force of 80 pounds.
The small est pressure recorded ON DR.
Blacks gari 3e, that Of little girl
years old, was 80 pounds. This was with
her front teeth. which are not used fol
the crushing processes OF masticat1on
With the moIars, which do the chewing
properly so called, she could exert force
of So pounds-quite enough to crush al
but the toughest par;s OF toughest meats.
Several persons exceeded 100 pounds
with the front teeth, or incisors, and
200 with the molars. One mana ply
stefan of 30 years--has such strength OF
jaw that it must for the present remain
a m, Atery, for it exceeded the testing
pow of the instrument. The gauge re-
gistered only 270 pounds, and when this
remarkable chewer shut his teeth on ii
he tIXsed it with no apparent effort.
How far above 270 pounds he could
have gone is therefore a subject fol-
speculation.
1t will be observed that the doctor
measured only the force exerted by the
jaws and not the work done by them.
This latter is really more important,
and it remains for some one, perhaps
the doctor himself in second series OF
experiments, to ascertain it.-Buffalc

The Pin Was Found.

At an entertainment in Dublin a
thought reader boosted that he could
find a marked pin hidden by one of the
audience. The pin was hidden by
Trinity student in an adjoining room in
the presence of a committee, among
whom was confederate. The student,
suspecting the man from his looks, sly
ly took away the pin from its hiding
place. On his return to the platform the
thought reader gazed into the hider's
face, and putting his hand to his brow
was blindfolded and led the student to
the hiding place, but of course could
find no pin. He returned, acknowledged
his defeat, and looked daggers at his
confederate. "Now, gentlemen" said
the student, ''I'll undertake to say that
if this diviner of the human mind will
do as / tell him half the audience, with
out single hint, will know where the
pin u.s." and turning to the thought
reader he said, "Sit down. He did so.

coattails the marked pin.-Dublin Mail
