GOLD IN DEER'S TEETH.
Man Who Found 1t Now Trying to Dis
q Mine.

cover Mine.
Gold has been found in a variety of
queer places, among others in the dust
shaken from chickens feathers, in the
crops of wild turkeys, and between the
toes of wolf hound. The latest odd
place for gold is filling for deer's
teeth, and it is told of in the Nidologist
by John a. Bryant, of Kansas City, Mo.
y Kansas City taXidernlist was found
in great state of excitement by Mr.
Bryant. He had recently got two deer
heads for mounting from Colorado
The jaws of both deer were being
scraped, and then the taxidermist OBJ
served a peculiar substance crusted on
the teeth. This sediment was brownish
yellow in color, and just for fools luck
the man scraped it off and sent il to
an assayer. The assayer got a lump OF
gold, pure, yellow gold, from the stuff,
and the taNidermist made haste to find
out the precise locality where the deer
were killed. Then he asked about the
deer licks where the animals got their
salt. He doesn't know yet whether the
gold came from a salt lick or from the
dust blown onto the grass OF browse
on which the deer fed.
The taxidermist said that the deer
were killed not more than 100 miles
from the Cripple Creek gold mines,
and further, that he knows the spot
exactly. He thinks that if deer can
get gold filling for their teeth in the
ordinary course of nature, man
can get bushels of it. He has so much
faith in this that he is going to sell out
his business, buy burro, a grub stake,
and prospector's pick, and then go
to prospecting on the deers' trails.

Florida Indians.

Our Indians" says DIR. Brecht, In
dian commissioner in the state of
Florida, are not multiplying rapidly.
This is due to physiological and social
reasons. Still, there has been an m
crease. In 1859 there were but 112 Now
there are something over 500. The chief
social reason for their slow propoga-
ton is the custom of countenancing no
marriages of persons who have drop
of the same blood in their veins. This
is sometimes hard on the girls. One
leader L know has two beautiful daugh-
ters, who cannot get married because
the eligible young men are almost all
akin to them."-Chicago Chronicle.

A San Francisco gentleman came to
this city short time since, and with
his wife quartered at a fashionable
boarding house. They were a very jolly
couple, and soon made friends with all
the inmates, among whom were a num-
Der of young ladies. The gentleman
was, as one of the young ladies said, ian
awful tease" and took great delight i'll
playing all sorts of harmless Jokes on
the young ladies, telling the young men
that marriage was failure and in other
ways endeavoring to keep them out of
the tolls OF matrimony, and, in short,
keeping up an everlasting ''joshing.'
The young ladies determined to get
even on him when he went away on the
steamer, So all went down to see him
and his wife off. Now, although he had
been married to his second wife some
two years, they were a fine-looking
couple, and might easily be taken for
newl ly-wedded pair. To give all tn.
people on the steamer the idea that they
were just married and starting cut on
their bridal tour was the way the young
ladies planned to get even. They pro-
cured lot of rice and poured it in
every creyice about the baggage of the
couple, and in their pockets and among
their wraps, that rice dropped from
them at every step.
One of the young ladies, who was ac-
quainted with the officers of the steam
eI, explained the situation to them and
secured their aid in carrying out the
plot, and also promise that the delu
sion should be kept up all the way to
San Francisco. They then scattered
rice about the stateroom of the bride
and groom" and all over the deck in
front. and when the go-ashore gong
sounded they just emptied their vials
of rice on the unfortunates and started
ashore.
The man was paral yzed for a moment
but. catching on" he said: We'll. if

A MYSTERY OF THE RIFLE.
Unsccountable Result of shooting from .
Wise

Something that no man understands
is why rife, elamped in an immovable
wise, will not put bullet in the same
hole every time, even if the wind does
not interfere. A correspondent of
Shooting and Fishing tells how he put
a rifle OF 80 ealiber into a wise and fired
it ten times, the sights being always
aimed directly at a mark The bullets
went all over a. four-inch circle at so
yards. Theoretically all ought to have
gone into the same ho;e-
A man who holds his rifle gripped
hard at one time and easily at another
will not shoot as well as one who takes
the same hold of his rifle every time.
The best results are obtained from
bench rests when the man puts his
shoulder against the rifle butt.
