 The young woman from Boston was at the table in q railroad restaurant iii the far west, and when shc essayed to cut the steak with which she had beei, served. she discovered that what she needed was a higher education ir athletics, says the Detroit Free Press After four or five intellectual attempts to dissect it she called to the waiter:
 ''Cahn't you," she asked, give me a bit of steak which is characterized by less tenacity of tisspe?"
 The waiter staggered and cowboy across the counter locked up.
 ''I didn't quite ketch, num-" said the waiter, bending forward with his hand to his ear. q said," and there was shade of an noyance in her tone, ''that l desired { portion of steak in which the cohe renee of the molecules was not so ap parent"
 "Oh," stammered the waiter, and ht stood fixed with his mouth open il amazement.
 The young woman became embar rassed.
 "Here,' snorted the gallant cowboy coming to the rescue, with a soundin: whacl1 on the table, ''git move or you what the lady wants is piece of mea that ain't so tough she can't stick he 1 purty tooth into it; see?' and th' young lady actually smiled as tn waiter hurried away.

WEARING LANTERNS.
The Latest Craze in Paris Is the Result of
 the Fair at NeuilIy.

The last new craze in Paris is the wearing of a lighted lantern as per sonal adornment. The fasnion origin ated with a speculative manufacturer. whose petites lanterns were bought by tents of thousands at the fair at 1%euilly.
 The lantern is very small and neat, and made in Gothic form after an an- cient model; it is only of tin, but is sufficiently solid. It has well-ftteil glass plates, is about the size of a wal nut, burns for some hours, and is sold at the price of six sous.
 Almost everybody who returns from a suburban fair to Paris recently looked as if he were outwardly symbolizirg 2 the Midsummer Saint, John the Bap- list, "a burning and a shining light. The men and boys had the little lan- terms in their hats, s,and the ladies carried them in their bouquets.

stripping Monte Carlo.
 A very noticeable and unpleasant fea- ture of the Ostend kursaal is the num- ber of women who are to be seen gam bling there. says the New York Jour ral. English women take the lead as heavy players. The nightly scenes at the kursaal are of startling nature. A correspondent writes from Ostend to an English newspaper:
 At Monte Carlo the maximum stake is nine napoleons on roulette number. Here at the Ostend kursaal one can go up to 300 francs. and it is calculated that S20,C00 francs can be won at a stroke. At trente ct quarante the maxi mum is 12,O00 francs, but the croupiers often permit a supplementary stake of 6G0O francs. It should be added that while at Monte Carlo you can only play with gold, at Ostend counters are al- lowed up to a value of 6.0c0 francs, and certain well-knewn persons obtain ai- most unlimited credit from the bank. ] remember seeing four players at once who put the maximum of 12,0O0 francs at each turn, and this went on for hours, nobody putting himself out in the least, while at Monte Carlo the fact of a player risking the maximum is al- ways publicly announced. Unfcrtun- ately, it is the fair sex which chiefly cul- tivates the taste for ranblin% this year The English ladies take the lead and are closely followed by the Germans Ii is a scandal which tits high time should ha ct

Things of Interest to Miners and In

w. E. and F. R. Mendenhall, who have been placer mining about ten miles up the river from the Cameron copper mine in the Grand canyon dis trict, report that there is sufficient gold deposits to enable one to make fair wages, but that the clayey nature of the ground to be worked over makes it very difficult to extract the yellow metal.
 A carload of fine mules arrived at Nogales from Kansas City ithis week,

the property of Superintendent George E. Beal, to be used in hauling ore from his Fl Pomo mine to the railroad at Santa Ana.
 Hydraulic mining will be begun soon in the Pumpkin Pie placer claim on the Hassayampa, near the old Walnut Grove dam. An entire outfit complete has been purchased by T. w. Hine and Andrews Bros, of Phoenix, proprietors of this property.
 Among recent visitors to Tucson from Yavapai are many who have fig ured in the mining history of the ter ritory for the past twenty years. J. D. Boyd with John ODougherty To- calted the mines owned by the United Verde Copper company. e. V. Kell was the first recorder of the Verde dis trict and located and improved the great fruit farm known as the Kir- waggen orchard He has packed and prospected over all the country north of the Gila and after the Cibicu out break when Captain Hentig was killed, Col. Price on talking the field with the troops from the north selected Kell as guide and dispatch bearer in the field which position he filled during the months of September and October, 1881, taking many risks at the time.
 J. A. Winningham of Tucson now owns valuable mines in the immediate vicimity of the Verde copper mines 1 which he located in 1876 and 1877. J. l.. GirouX, the hardest worker in Yavapai county and superintendent oi the United Verde company, according to the Tucson Citizen, has done more to develop the copper interest in north ern Arizona than any clther man in the territory.
 Among them liners al; Tucson this week is Tom Sanders, who has haulet freight to every point in the territory where there was a road, and lost mules by the Indians on nearly every road Coming among the first to Yavapai the history of the Indian depreciation in early days was his only schooling

AT THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH.
Rev. MT. Ogburn Discourses Upon
 Interesting Themes.

Pastor Ogburn of the Christian church, corner of Jefferson and Second streets, chose for his text at the Sun day morning service, John i, 40-42. He said that the more the Christian knows of Christ the more he should want to know. We should not ridicule any one's religious belief, but rather learn what we can of truth from them and seek to teach them the better way. Many persons are better than the sys- tenn of religion luhey profess and we should be careful to distin guish be- tween personal character and religious forms. We may alienate a seeker af- ter truth by ridiculing his belief, thus effectlIally shutting off all possibility of aiding him.
 Andrew, when he found the Savior, did not at once set about organizing a foreign missionary society, but went and found his brother and told him. Foreign missions are a great and good work, to be encouraged, but our work lies next to us. Personal exhortatiOn and daily living and working in the Christian life are what tell in the work of saving the world.
 When Christians are all at work each with his neighbors the world will soon be evangelical.
 Despise not the day of small things, nor of the deeds of the weakest and most obscure Christians. In the great day of the resurrection not only the famous of old will be there, but tine rd-working, one-talent Christian as we'll.
 The subject of his evening discourse was, "A Survey of the World at the Beginning of the Christian Era" his text being, Caesar Decreed That All the World Should be Taxed" He re- ferred to map on the wall and said that at that time Rome was the polit- ical and religious mistress of the world, the empire extending from the Flu phrates on the east to the borders of Europe on the west, a distance of 5000 miles, and for a distance of 1,500 miles from north to south
 Of this vast domain the Caesars were absolute monarchs, notwithstanding the semblance of a republic in the form of government He depicted viv- idly, yet briefly, the social, moral and religious conditions of the people showing the standard of civilization to be very low ,and the masses ignorant and degraded. While the population of the empire was 120,0O0,000, there were but 100000 of free men. Huma1 life was valued lightly, and the peo- pie were given over Eo the most dis. gusting and debasing practices. Wo mon were not the companions of theil husbands, but were slaves.
 The Jews had forsaken the law O Moses and were not living in accord ance with its precepts. While thes conditions prevailed Jesus Christ be gan to promulga5e His new doctrine He came in poverty and weakness, ans was opposed by every man in powe and the wealthy and influential of al lands, whose practices He condemned But His influence went abroad an, permeated the whole world, an, wherever His doctrines were preache men were changed and nations trans formed. Woman has been elevated i all Christian lands, while in all heathe countries she is still slave. He re ferred to the changes being wrough at the present day in Japan, China an
 India through the introduction ( Christianity.
