Discovered q Year Ago.

Minnesota is now awaiting with CON

never mined dollars worth of gold, but
was content TO acquire wealth by the
slower but surer process of raising wheat.
The alleged discovery of gold in paying
quantities, however, has brought visions
to its people of n road to sudden and easy
atfiuence.
The new mines are in Redwood Coun-

She Wanted 1t Badly.

In one of the Washington jewelry
stores is a diamond breaStpin valued at
$1,000. A young woman whose love for
ornaments is much greater than her
ability to buy them happened to be In
this store when the pin was shown to n
lady, who did not purchase 1t. Two or
three times a week since then the girl
has gone to obtain a glimpse of the
beautiful pin, until she finally made up
her mind that she would make an effort
to own 1t, so the following colloquy
took place, that happened to hear:
"How much is that pin?''
"a thousand dollars"
"Well, | will take it if you will let

Duel on the Frontier.

At lonely spot seven miles below
Besbee, Arizona, on the line that di-
vides Mexico and the United States,
two cattle men, who count their for
tunes by the hundreds of thousands
and who recently were fast friends,
fought duel a few days ago.
The principals in the affair, which
savors more of the savage and relent-
less combats of Indians that of meet
ing between civilized men under the
code, were Frederick Romero and
james Montague. The former is
widely known throughout Sonora and
Southern Arizona, where Ills immense
herds of cattle grf re on an estate al
most princely in extent. The other,
also cattleman, halls from Cali
fornia, but had settled in that region
for some years, his range adjoining
that of the man he met in deadly com
bat
When the sun peeped over the
mountains, telegraphed q correspon-
dent of tho San Francisco Examiner,
the two partners, whose business in
the cattle line was at one time the
most extensive in Arizona and So
nora, faced each other, foot to foot,
with daggers uplifted, ready to begin
the battle for life or death. G. Gal
matt, foreman OF Montague's ranch,
and bosom friend of both parties,
fired the gun, the signal when the fray
should begin.
Quick as the lightning's flash and
true to his native custom, Romero
bounded in the air and made fearful
thrust at Montague, who lodged and
saved himself. For time they
spared, the flashing steel glinting in
the rays of the sun. The keen eyed
Mexican, with murder flaming in his
face, was looking for an opening,
while Montague was contenting him
self with fighting off the deadly
thrusts.
Romero, in his mad hatred of his
antagonist and in his rage at being
baflled in the use of weapon native
to his hand, evidently forgot the rules
of the game, for as they whirled their
knives, now aloft on level with their
throats and again with arms and bodies
swaying toward the earth, he left an
opening. Quick as flash the Ameri-

A Lucky Pistol Shot.

In big bottle, on the cabin table
of the British steam bark Severn, is a
large venomous snake preserved in
alcohol. The story connected with it
is worthy of recital. Captain James
Reid, the commander of the Severn,
is plucky young Scotchman, who has
voyaged all over the world, and had
enough adventures to fill book us
large as city directory. He is
lieutenant of the Royal Naval Re-
serves and wears a couple of medals
awarded him for gallant conduct by
Queen Victoria and the Khedive of
Egypt, during the Egyptian war, in
which he fought with great bravery.
He is great hunter and dead shot
with rifle, shot gun or revolver, and
the cabin of the Severn contains many
handsome trophies of his skill with
firearms.
During the latter part of September,
when the bark was at Rio, loading cof-
fee for Baltimore, Captain Reid paid
u visit to young English lady, re-
siding on the outskirts of the city,
and, as the day was an exceptionally
pleasant one, walk out in the coun-
try was proposed. They were stroll
ing together, along narrow road
leading to the mountains, when sud
derly the young lady uttered cry of
terror and stood transixed with hor.
ror. In an instant the Captain saw
the cause of her alarm. Poised close
beside her at the base of o large tree
with fangs exposed ready to strike,
was a venomous snake of the most
poisonous variety in Brazil.
In another instant the young lady
would have received fatal wound.
but even as the glittering, ugly flat
head glided toward her, Captain Reid
pulled his revolver out of his pocket
and with single, well directed shot,
stretched the deadly reptile dead be-
side its intended victim. For pistol
shot the lucky shot was marvel, but
the snakes body in the bottle plainly
shows where the bullet pierced its
neck fairly. Captain Reid says the
young lady nearly tainted when she
fully realized the narrow escape she
had had. A bite from that species OF
snake is invariably fatal. Baltimore

A Panther Under Her Bed.

W. w. Smith, who resides in the
mountains about seven miles north of
Ukiah, CAL, arrived in town recently
with the skins of two large panthers
which he killed near his home. He
also exhibited q suit of clothes which
he had worn at the time of the killing.
They were torn to shreds, and bore
evidence of the truth of the story
which he told regarding the difficulty
he had in winning the trophies.
Mr.. Smith left his home early one
morning for the purpose of visiting
this city. He requested his wife to go
over to an adjoining ranch, owned by
j. w. Fitzsimmons, and remain there
until he called for her on his way back.
Mrs. Smith was just putting on her
bonnet when she was Mortified to OBJ
serve the head of an enormous panther
through the open door. She sprang
toward the window, hoping to escape.
At her first movement the panther
sprang in at the door and rushed un-
der tho bed. Mrs. Smith then ran
through the door and reached her
neighbor's house throughly exhausted.
Her husband arrived later, and, ac-
companied by Fitzsimmons, left for
home to either kill or scare away the
panther. Fitzsimmons carried shot
gun and Smith was armed with o
butcher knife and carried lantern.
Reaching the house, Smith steppedin-
side, when the panther, which had
been feeding on the remains of deer,
sprang at his throat, bearing him to
the ground and breaking the lantern.
Smith finally succeeded in gaining
his feet, and called on Fitzsimmons
for help, but the latter was able to see
only the dim outlines of man and beast,
and was, therefore, a powerless spec
tator of the struggle.
Smith piled his knife and finally
succeeded in administering q fatal
wound. The panther relased his hold,
and, after few convulsive struggles,
lay still on the floor. Smith, though
scratched and lacerated, was not seri-
ously injured.
Mr.. and Mrs Smith remained all
night at the Fitzsimmons ranch and
returned to their home the. following
day. On their arrival at the house
they encountered another panther, the
female, which was soon treed by Fitz-
simmons's dogs and killed. -Sau Fran

HYGIENIc HOUSEKEEPING.

The woman who loves her family
will not content herself with nursing
them when they have colds, but will
are such that illness cannot easily
gain foothold. She will, if she must
choose between new piano and im-
proved plumbing, choose the plumb
ing always. She will not use any more
dust harboring upholsterles than pos
sible. She will have few carpets and
all the sunlight and air she can com.
mand.
The plumbing must be kept in per-
feet order. The most improved sort
of plumbing is not too good and not
too expensive. When it is possible it
is desirable to have the bathroom
floors of marble and the walls tiled.
The tub should be of porcelain and
the fixtures of nickel. In such a room
as this it is an energetic germ that can
find lodging place. But even if tiles
and marble are out of the question the
arrangement of the pipes must be &C
cording to the sanitary code.
Hygienists have been teaching and
preaching for years against wooden
carpets and hangings, but it is not un
til after they have been scourged by
contagious disease and forced to burn
their belongings that most people
realize the danger that turks in such
things. One such experience, how
ever, usually teaches q woman tho
value of bare, polished floors, easily
removed rugs and hangings and furni-
ture which does not depend for its
beauty upon heavy coverings. -Phila-

TO KILL FIsHY FLAVOR IN DUCKS.

AN&@SD
Most of the wild ducks offered for
sale, except the more costly sorts,
possess more or less of fishy flavor.
The following recipe is recommended
as eliminating almost entirely this
undesirable quality: After wild
duck is picked, cut out with a sharp
knife the wing and leg bones. Then
make an incisiou in the ekin of the
neck and along the middle of the
back. Separate the flesh on each side
OF the body to its junction with the
breastbone, and cut away from the
neck and windpipe connecting tissue.
Seize the neck and windpipe with
cloth and give sharp pull, and the
entire carcass of the bird, with its con-
tents, will come free, with the excep.
tion of the breastbone. This may
then be cut out, leaving nothing but
the flesh of the breast This is trimmed
free of all loose pieces of skin and
placed in q marinade or liquid bath
composed of one part of vinegar to
two of water, to which are added some
chopped onions and carrots, a Glove of
Su'lS, VI
savory, and some whole peppers. The
duck is allowed to remain in this bath
for twenty hours, when it is re-
moved and wiped dry. Some pieces
of butter and pepper and salt are put
upon the flesh side of the breast of the
bird, and with this uppermost in a
pan it is allowed to bake in hot
oven. beng frequently basted. for
about ten minutes. 1t is then placed
ON a broller and broiled until done
rare. Ii is served with maitre hotel
sauce, made of melted butter, little
lemon juice and some finely chopped
parsley, and if the bird is properly
cooked, its juices, when carved, will
mlngIe with the sauce. This treatment
of tough wild duck of fishy flavor
is the outcome of many experiments
by person interested in obliterating
this undesirable quality. None other
was successful. The above recipe is
really one for the cooking of tillets Of
duck. New York Sun.
