Oil Heating Stoves,
The "Orient" is still in the
lead of all competitors. Al
though still early in the sea-
son, they are selling rapidly.
The "OTient" has become so
we'll known that it is not nee
eSSary to describe it here in
detail. 1t is a heater, an Or
nament to any room, and can
be converted into a cook
stove. No other light is need

MONKEY LIGHTS MATCHES.
But Has Not the Intelligence to Kindle a
 Fire with Them.

But Has Not the Intelligence to Kindle 8 Fire with Them.
 7 No creature but man has ever made use of fire. An African traveller, indeed, has told story of apes making thiev- ing raid on camp of natives, and car rying torches to light their way; but this story lacks proof, and is not ac- cepted as true by zoologists.
 There is, however, says the Youths Companion, in the Philadelphia zoologi- cal garden a monkey who has learned to scratch matches perfectly well. This accomplishment he is willing to exhibit on any occasion. He has learned to hold the match by it's middle part, so that his fingers are not burned by being too near the flame, and so that the match will not break by being held too near the other end.
 This fact involves another, that he is aware which end has the sulphur, and does not attempt tc scratch the unsul- phured end. He has furthermore learned that rough surface is better to scratch the match on than a smooth one, and his care in looking for the rough places is very diverting..
 But with all these intelligences, the monkey has no notion of kindling an other fire with the one that he has caused by the friction of the match. He simply lets the match burn out, and if he lights another, does it for the pleas ure of seeing it burn.
 This monkeys keepers, and the men of science who are experimenting with his intelligence, hope to communicate to him eventually an idea of fire making and using; but from the moment they succeed in doing so-if they ever do suc- ceed-it will be necessary to keep matches out of his reach.

How Society People Go 8 Wheeling-At-
 tending Grooms and Maids.
 The form of bicycling is beginning to be studied. Grooms on wheels must follow their mistresses as they did on horseback; it is probably only a ques- tion of short time when the lady's maid will have to include wheeling with her other accomplishments to secure situation. On tine road the woman who wishes to ride a la mode has to know a number of little things that are over looked by another woman, just as the smart set have code for riding and driving that is as inexorable as that they should not eat with their. knives or put sugar on oysters. Society in- sists on an upright position, with, of course, no attempt at racing pace. It also frowns upon constant ringing of the bell-that will do for the vulgar herd who delight in noise; the well-in- formed wheelwoman keeps eyes and ears alert and touches her bell rarely.

snowballs Rolled by the Wind. !

Passengers on the Flint River divi- sion of the Flint 6 Pere Marquette rail- road who came to Flint, Mich., recently reported observing strange phenom- enon in large, level fields not far from the city, says the Chicago Tribune. Hundreds of snowballs, some of them of colossal size, have been rolled to- gether, it is thought, by the action of the wind. The fields were covered with them, and nature accomplished in one night what it would take a large force of boys several days to do.

THE BENEFlCENT CROW.

What He Does for the Farmer Despite His Reputation.
 If farmers would make a study of natural history and it's bearings on their property-the relation of hawks to their hen coops, for instance-there would be better paying crops.
 The Year Book of the department of agriculture tells about COW black birds and what they eat. About 2,300 of their stomachs have been examined, and of these 2,25S contained food. The birds were killed in 26 states. Forty eight per cent. of the food was animal, AS per cent. vegetable and four per cent. was mineral. The blackbird has variety of things it eats.
 "The animal food" says the report, consisted of insects, spiders, myria- pods (thousand legs), crawfish, earth worms, sowbugs, hair snakes, snails, fishes, tree toads, salamanders (newts), lizards, snakes, birds eggs and mice" :" To these might have been added young birds, fish cast up by the tide, minnows caught while swimming in shallow water, and probably meat and carrion of various kinds. Most of the animal food is, of course, insects. These con- stitute 46 per cent. of the total, the other two per cent. being the larger things, like mice. The animal food IS taken mostly in the summer. In win ter the food is mostly vegetable matter. The insects the bird kills more than make up the damage he does, especially as his nest robbing appears to be only an accidental habit not often indulged in. A large flock of the birds would ot course destroy lot of grain. Some 50,0O0 would eat about 5000 pounds a day, but they would consume as many insects, which would more than de. stroy the amount the birds do.

BOUGHT TANOTHER'S SMUSTACHE. Paid the Price, But Failed to Get the
 Goods.

A singular story is reported from St. Calais. A few days ago several per- sons were sitting at table in a local hotel, when the splendid mustache of horse dealer became. the subject of conversation. One of the members of the party complimented the horse deal CT and asked him for what price he would sell his mustache. '"Ten francs" replied the latter, laughingly. q will buy half of them," said the would-be purchaser, placing five francs on the table. The horse dealer put the money in his pocket and later in the evening left the hotel. Not quite appreciating the joke, the man who was minus the five francs sought the aid of the county court process server, and having laid the information in regular form brought action against the horse dealer for 800 francs damages for non-execu- tion of his contract.

 Addition.

But, notwithstanding they are now in tn city itself, there are a few lots for sale yet at prices corresponding with the ssSound Money Doctrine of President Cleveland and his cuckoos, which means that kind of dollar which will buy two dollars worth of property. These lots are near the new elec- tric car line which is now in operation. The lots are in the city and their occupants do not need to ride into town, but the presence of electric street cars is popular and adds market value to the property. Inside of five years this will be business property.
 Buy lot now for residence and when business crowds you out the rents will SUD- port you in house outside in some addition
 where you can keep horse and drive into
 town and collect your rents. Terms, cash 5 in one year, } in two years at 10 per cent interest.

Hope For Aurora,

About twenty tons of ore have been
extracted at the new Esmeralda
mine, in our neighboring camp, and
will be hauled to Bodie and worked
by Parr and Tyack, at the Syndicate.
1t assays fairly, showing good aver
age value. So far az can be deter
mined there is money in it. 1fit will
yield to cyanide at profitable rate,
a reduction plant will be put up near
the mine and Aurora will come to
life again. There are vast quantities
OF ore around Mount Braly, much Of
which is apparently valuable in some
degree, but the ordinary mill process
fails to extract the nutriment. It is
easy to get assays of $40 to $50 per
ton; when it comes to working the
rock, results are not encouraging. II
Parr & Tyack cannot make it pay,
we shall conclude that there is no
pay in the stuff. -Bodie Index.

a professional gambler, and it nearly
broke her heart, for she had always
hoped that l would make my mark in
some honorable profession. At her

her that l would never touch another

will"
His companions were visibly affected

said: .-r.

will not play poker tonight. / suppose
you went into profession when you
ceased your career as a gambler, and |
hope you have been successful"

Hostile Silver Star Indians.

Pasevitch, the photographer. had
most thrilling experience in Silver
Star district last week. During his
leisure moments, (Which were many
the boys told him that the Indians
we're aroused aud that an outbreak
was imminent. Pasevitch believed
all he heard and before long he was
worked up to such a point that he
determined to leave camp the next
day. The evening before his depart
ure, however, the miners persuaded
him to give a stereopticon exhibition.
Every man who came in carried q
pistol, rifle, shotgun, ak, or knife.
Pasevitch was SO nervous that be
could scarcely work his magic Ian,
tern.
1t was whispered about that O
large body of armed Indians was APP
preaching from Rebel Gulch. Just
as the performance was finished a
var whoop was heard at the back
door and several shots were fired,
All hands ran wildly from the
house. Pasevitch started down the
hill regardless of trail or road. He
ran until he fell from sheer exhaus-
ton, and lay for some time concealed
behind rock. When all was quiet,
he returned to the camp. The miners
fiocked around him and related how
they had put the Indians to fight.
Still he was badly scared, and asked
couple of the jokers to escort him
to his room so he could go to bed.
Harry Goodshaw and Frank Regain
were assigned this duty. AS they
approached the house a number Of
shots were fred and Regan fell to
the ground, exclaiming:
