OUT are the S36th and the 90Oth words
respectively, according to whether you
count in the bracketed words or leave
them out and whether you count the
double words as one word or two words
each. And you can see how carefully the
work has been done, Mr.. Donnelly points
out. when you find at the end of page u
such lines as these:

They bring Observation-Disclosures worse
than true-wrongs."
No, printer, he holds, would ever hyphe-
nate Observation-Disclosures" or true
wrongs" unless especially instructed to do
50. And yet, If they were not so printed,
so that the line could be counted as nine
words to make the word found" the 900th
word and as six words to make 1t the
836th word, that delicate piece of ADJUST
ment would have failed. Again on tho
second column of page Is, we have this
line:

but II they had not been 80 printed tho

have been, at the same time. the S36th
word and the 900th word.
Mr.. DonneLy shows that every word OF
the cipher narrative given in THE Great
Cryptogram" was the S36th word, al
modified by deducting certain of the frag-
ments of scenes found IN columns one

DRESSING THE HAIR.
Some Sensible Suggestions for the Youns
Ladies'.

Ladies.
The prettiest way to arrange your
hair? Especially if it is very long, very
thick, and most beautiful color, yet
cannot be worn hanging down in braids,
because you are too tall for anything so
childish, nor fastened up in a graceful
Psyche knot at the back of the head,
cutie near the neck, because it is too
heavy, and comes tumbling down at in
Convenient seasons. Lovely hair, but
an embarrassment OF riches, is it rot ?
If it were my hair, and | were the
dear young girl who finds it bother
and a burden, I would coil it up on top
OF my head and wear it like a crown. l
wouldn't mind its having the effect of
making me look taller, and l would
stand up very straight, and look as tall
as I could. In my opinion height is a
beauty, and never care about girls
being tall, except to admire her. Tall
girls must mind that they carry them
selves well. and do not stcop nor crane
their head forward as if they had lost
something and were perpetually look
ing for it. You remember TennysoH's S
picture, do you not, a word picture such
as only poet could paint:
IA daughter Of the gods,
Divinely tall, and most divinely fair"
If the coronal effect were unbecom-
ing, or gave feeling of weight on top
of my head, then would braid the hair
ia several strands, and mass it all over
the back of the head. would simply
part it in the middle, and avoid fringes,
and bangs, and little curls, crimps, and
other attempts at decoration in front.
I When hair has natural wave or ripple
it is very pretty, and should have its
way, but.straight hair is pretty too. and
girls should be satisfied to wear their
hair in the style nature intended for
them.-Harpers' Round Table.

dispelled by the act OF four women in

The tail of the crawfish serves that

of the tail the animal can retire from

BILE swiftness. The tail is much more
effective in moving the animal back

means of it's tail it can withdraw into
it's hole with such swiftness as in an
instant to place it out of danger.

outlet is little stream two feet deep,

The big white moose recently shot
in the Maine woods by a Mr.. Sargent, of

white moose ever seen in Maine, and
very few have ever been heard of else
where. The naturalists say it is, of
course, not strange that there should
be an albino moose, resulting from a
freak of nature. as white deer and other
albino game animals are not uncom-
mon. But white moose are a great
rarity.

MARY ANDERSoN's BEGINNING.
Rehearsing in the Kitchen Before . Lit
tie Negro Servant.

Rehearsine in the Kitchen Before Lit
tie Negro Servant.
In the south most of the servants
were negroes. Among ours was lit
tie mulatto girl (''nut-brown maid"
she called herself) whose chief attrac-
ton to me was her enthusiasm for the
thcater.
One night in desperation went to
her while she was washing dishes in
the kitchen and there unfolded all my
hopes. 1t was to her I first acted, and
she gave me my first applause. The
clapping of those soapy, steaming
lands seemed to me q veritable tri-
umph.
Believing that tragic manner alone
would sufficiently impress the situa-
ton on the "nut-brown maid" began
with a hollow voice and much furrow-
ing of the brow: "Juli, wilt thou fol-
low and assist me when quit my child
hoods home to walk in the path of
Siddons, Kemble and Booth?'' "Oh,
Miss Mamie, you kin count on dis pus-
son, fo' de Lor' you kin! Why. my
stars, what boss actor you is! But
you mus low me to call you NAV"
and in trice she was gone.
A few moments later she reentered
the kitchen with my mother, who was
greatly surprised by my performances
in the fourth act of 'The Lady of Ly-
ons," which could not have been acted
in q more appropriate part OF the
house. She. in turn, called the critic
of the family, DR.. Griffin, who, likewise,
was astonished, and made my heart
beat with JOY by saying: you'll make
a good actress some day. Your scene
has thrilled me. and I would rather
have rough work and q good thrill than
any amount of artistic work without
it,"
Spurred on by such encouragement
. worked harder than ever, often stay
ing up half the night to get some effect
while trying to look into the heart and
mind Of the character under study.
After that evening in the kitchen I
read scenes or acted them nightly to
our small household, usually from

more readily thar the English do the Span

PROT. D. p. 0litner, ths 0eologIst, Expresses an
opinion whiSri VIII SO VI Interest.

Prof. b. II. Giltner returned yesterday,
from q few days trip over the hills and
mountains In the vicinity OF Las vegas,
and was seen by an OPTIo reporter this
morning. He was asked for an opinion,
concerning the geology, OF this side OF the
Rocky mountains, near this city, In refer
ence to the probability Of there being
minerals in paying quantities found here.
He replied as follows;
''ln the first place ! want to say thatI will
not attempt to give a detailed account OF
my observations, because 1t would take q
year at least to study the stratigraphy and
make a complete and accurate account of
tha corelations that exist through to the
apex Of the main range of mountains, but
l have seen enough to satisfy me that
there are two distinct mineral zones on
this side OF the mountains. The first one !
shall name the hot springs dixie, because it
is very prominently exhibited across The
canon at the hot springs, seven: miles
from this city, but approaches within
three miles OF the court house, and its
paraiielism is comparable with the axial
line Of the Rocky mountains"
"Prof Do you think this hot spring dixie
has any great length?"
"The dynamic sequence would lead me to
the conclusion that this dixie would extend
a great many miles to the north and
south Of this place, to say the least Of 1t.
/ have traced the dixie already about forty
miles In length"
"To come right down to the milk In the
c%ocoanut, professor, is there a possibility
of obtaining gold and silver in paying
quantities near here?n
"Yes sir, the conditions are all favorable
for successful mining, directed by a reason
able amount of experience and intelligence.
Mining is like any other business which
men follow for gain, it's success depends
upon skillful management. No one can ex-
pect to make a success of merchandising
unless he had acquired some experience in
that line and so with every other profess
sion or calling.
"This second mineral zone Is from fifteen
to twenty miles from the first one just de-
scribed and is also parallel with the main

work out but a short length Of it, but the
geological conditions are eminently con-
ducive to the production of gold, silver
and copper in paying quantities, along this
second zone"
why is it that there has not been more
success in the mining business about
here?"
Because there has been too much hap
hazard work, but l think that during this
coming year there will be some startling
revelations made in the development of the
mining operations in San Miguel county or
at least as soon as men Of experience and
grit get to work. l will give you more
about this matter at another time. For
myself 1 am quite satisfied from what I
rave seen that Las Vegas has a bright
future in the mining industry.

"Well, we were standing ON the street
and saw some men going by with ROSTERS

where the men were going and we were
told they were going to q cock fight. Out
Of curiosity we went too, and there we
saw every pelada had ten, fifteen or twenty
dollars to bet IN the fight. That night we
went into a saloon ana the roulette. tables
there had double numbers, that Is, q table

were crowded. Now, as 1t is well known,
