From the San Francisco Argonaut.
There is a woman in Milpitas, the victim
of several crushing sorrows, who has a
novel cure for dependency, indigestion, in
somnia, and kindred ills. 1t is unpatented.
She determined one day to throw off the
gloom which was making life burden in
and about her, and established a rule that
she would laugh three times day. whether
occasion presented or not. She trained
herself to laugh heartily at the least provo
cation, and without one would retire to
her room and make merry by herself. Now
she Is In excellent health and buoyant spir-
Its, and her home has become a sunny and
delightful abode. Husband, children, neigh
bors and friends were gradually infected
with mirth every day, and now all of them
are healthy, happy and Wise.

An Elk Horn Fence.

From the Kansas City Star.
At Mammoth Hot Springs, in Yellowstone
park, there is a fence made of elk horns.
1t incloses the greater part Of the grounds
of Photographer F. Jay Haynes studio,
which is distant probably 800 feet from the
Mammoth Hot Springs hotel.
The fence is composed of over 800 select
ed elk horns. All of them have twelve
points and q great many have the royal
fourteen points. They were shed in March,
1895. and were gathered in June of the
same year by Mr.. Haynes and three of his
men within a radius of ten miles of Mann
moth Hot Springs and within four days
time. There are about 2. 500 elk in the park
now. Mr.. Haynes is always asked what
the value of the fence Is and his response,
a very conservative one, is that each pair
of horns would bring $3.50 at the railroad
at Cinnabar, about eight miles, or at least
SO a pair in the east or south.

money has suggested scores Of sobriquets,

entered largely into the composition of the
coin. 1t Is misnOmer, as the piece con-
sIStS OF 20 per cent OF copper and only 25
per cent of the metal which gave it a
name.

piece. illustrates the universally Of this

Probably the Oldest living preacher who

Father Waugh Of my town. said R. P. Can

ninety years Of age, and has been in the
ministry for seventy years. He was raised
in Virginia, and sixty years ago preached in
Washington. He edited a religious paper,
which was 50 pronounced in its anti-slavery
views that he was compelled to leave Vir-
ginfa, going to Missouri and taking his pull
pit decidedly into politics during the trou-
cussion. Again. he left. by request, and
went overland to Sonora, where he has re-
sided ever since. Now, at the age of ninety
years, he attends all conferences of the

never used tobacco or liquor in any form.
and attributes his remarkable health to
that fact. He knows almost all of the In

concerning gold fields" said R. L. Price of

United States, and the copper bells, altar
equipments and crosses found in the old

came from San Fernando. Until a few
months ago there had never been an at
tempt to really explore the mines or to
work them by modern methods. A few cop-
