A Wonderful Bow

Prof. Roney, Chicago choir leader.
has discovered wonder in a 10-year-
old boy, Florizel Fabrice Won Reuter-
who reads with intelligence heavy liter
allure and plays de Beriot's first and
ninth concertos, and many more COM
positions equally difficult upon the vio-
lin with great facility and accuracy.
He has also composed several small
pieces, which show great originality.
Aside from those wonderful accom-.
plishments his fund of general knowl-
edge, as tested by Prof Roney with ran
dom questions, covering literature, sci.
ence, natural history, and history.
proves to be marvellous in one so young.
His musical future. Prof Roney saws.

Written by NIadmen.

In several Of the British lunatic asv-
lums Journalism has been introduced
among the inmates as a curative meas
ure, and the innovation has been at
tended with excellent results, Soma
physicians declare they are indebted TO
their patients for hints as to the best
manner of treating them. One demented
person refused food and as obstinate1v
declined to furnish any reason for his
action. In a newspaper article. how
ever, he wrote: II desire to be buried
as quickly as possible. It is a mon-
strous scandal that 1 should be COM
PEELED to drag about all over this house
dead and putrefying corpse" AS soon
as the bent of his weak mindedness was
discovered he received appropriate
treatment and eventually recovered. DR..
Andrew Wynter in 1857 wrote of luna
tics that "they are nothing if not cri-
tlcal,' and spoke of a journal conduct
ed at Murray's Royal Asylum at Perth.
1t is said that in perusing some OF
their papers a reader would fail to
discover "bee in the bonnet" of the

FUSSY WOMEN.

They Are Not All Slender-Don't Be-
long to Any Particular Caste.
OF what use is a fussy woman in the
emergencies of life? She loses her head
fguratively, in an accident; fidgets the
patients nerves to fiddlestrings in a
sick room, and becomes supine and
hysterical in a domestic cataclysm,
says the Daughter. Does tie fussy
tdgety woman ever enjoy herself on a
pleasure trip, or, as important, does she
ever allow members of her party to
enjoy themselves? Rarely, I think. I
took bank holiday excursion trip IL
Margate this year in search of "copy,'
and the full significance of the fussy
woman was borne in upon me by one
OF the occupants of the third-class car
riage that I elected to honor with my
company. She was large woman,
with large party. She upset one CT
my precOnceived notions that fat wom-
en- never fuss, for she was very large,
and she fused very conspicuously.
had watched her on the platform before
the train came in sight. She was max
ing spasmodic dives after her purse,
her tickets, her children, her lunch bas-
kets; she was evidently possessed with
the notion that she was about to lose
them. When she had cackled all into
the carriage her fussing was not fin
lshed; she fused because she could not
see where the am sandwiches 'ad got
put to; she fused because George had
lost his penny; shetfussed because she
could not make Up her mind whether it
would be better to have the window up
or down; she fused because somebody
'thort as 'ow it might be rining in Mar
glt,' and she had omitted to bring the
macs" The climax of her fussing was
seen when the departure bell sounded,
and Sandy" presumably her husband,
had not come back from having a "arf-
and-arf' with his mate in the "reste-
rong." She was specimen of the low
er-class "fusser,' but I have encoun-
tered quite as bad fidgets among wom-
en- of a higher grade, and am not sure
that their business is not more trying
than the business Of the lower-class
woman, who may perhaps be pardoned
for not knowing any better.

A PREHISTORIC RIVER.
Ats Ancient Bed Is the Deposit of Rich
Gold.

tts Ancient Bed Is the Deposit of Rich
Gold.
In an article on the Occur d'Alene
mines the Spokane Spokesman-Review
says: Hr #rt
But there is another source of Co.
eur d'Alene placer gold even more po-
tent that the decomposing lodges with
which the country is bound together,
and that is the old wash. Beginning
near Raven, and running down on the
side hill north of Murray and Eagle
City, clear across the north fork, and
still on westward for an unknown dis
lance, is the old wash. What the
stream that created it, whence its
source CT whittier it flowed, no man
knows. Perhaps primeval man floated
his boat upon it's waters, and with
his stone weapons endeavored to slay
the mastodon resting beneath the
shade of the tropic verdure that lined
its banks. Everything regarding the
era or nature of the stream flowing
there is. mere conjecture, but some
things regarding it are we'll known.
One is that it was a stream of no mean
proportions. For a quarter of mile
In width the bedrock is covered with
the rounded gravel washed smooth by
It's water during the ages that it ex-
listed, and even after the countless
years since it's springs dried up at,their
source, or some CONFUSION of nature
turned it into. other channels, have
been washing the easily rolled stones
Gown the mountain sides, they are still
l25 feet in depth-perhaps more in
places. Another thing certain about
the old river is that it's source was
far beyond the Occur d'Alene noun
talns or the Bitter Roots, that hedge
them on the east, for in great guam
titles among the gravel now choking
its old bed are huge powders of a
rock that is entirely foreign to this
region. Resembling mixture of sand
stone and quartz, if such mixture can
be imagined, it is rock that is I'M
mlstakable, and nowhere within more
than 100 miles around is it found in
any place except the channels of pres
ent or prehistoric streams. Another
thing known regarding the old river,
more potent than all else, except, per-
maps, 60 the s\udent. is the fact that
IL traversed country interspersed
with gold-bcxring lodges, parts Of
which Ss9 picked up and brought down
Dy It's gravel. Everywhere that the old
channel has been cut it has been found
rich In gold. Many of the smaller
gulches about Murray were rich up to
me point where they had been cut
through the old channel, and above it
their gravel was barren of the yellow
metal. The most economical way to
handle this old wash was by hydraul-
ic mining, but water was too scarce
fcr more than the few to do this, and
many others have taken the slower
way of drifting. With gravel spread
ing from so to 500 yards in width, and
varying from S to $50 feet in d epth,
probably one-half of the gold would
lie In a strip rod wide and within
hve feet of bed rock. So, while the
hydraulic miners would proceed to
move the whole mass, wash it down the
MIL, and, sitting out every particle of
gold, the drift miner has taken his
more laborious method and none the
less surely secured for himself a COM
petence II he possessed the faculty OF
saving what came into his hands,"

Strange Indian Vengeance.

In the course of the investigations
referred to in the preceding paragraph,
Doctor Calmette discovered the nature
of mortal poison which some of the
natives of India employ to kill the cat
tie Of their enemies. The poison is
applied to little pointed rods inserted
in the end of short stick, which can
be concealed in the hand. Approach
ing the cattle, the poisoner slightly
scratches them with the venom charg-
ed points. The ends of the little rods
break off and remain in the wounds,
which are barely visible. Doctor CAL
mette found that the poison was ex-
tracted from kind of bean, growing
on a leguminous plant known botan-
ically as Abrus precator;us. This poi
son is called abrin, and is almost as
fatal in its effects as the most violent
serpent venom. -.

Miss Jennie Smith, Well Known Here,
Ftgurss In Romantic story.
The following Washington dispatch.
telling OF an episode In the life OF Miss
Jennie Smith, the railroad evangelist,
who has been in Wheeling on several
occasions, will be read with interest:
Through her friends, President Nc
KiRley and Rev. DR.. Mansfield, his for
mer pastor at Canton, Ohio, Miss Jen-
ME Smith. of Baltimore. has been re-
united at Chicago to her brother, Dick
Inson b. Smith, who had been missing
for twenty-six years.
Thirty-seven years ago Jennie Smith
lived in little Ohio town with her pa
rents. She was attacked by n severe
spinal trouble, which made her Grip
pie, as result OF which her younger
brother, Dickinson. soon became her
insepafable companion. In .S7l young
Smith caught the gold fever and Went
west. Letters between sister and bro
tber missed their destination, and in a
short time they were completely lost to
each other.
Young Smith had gone to sedgwlck.
Colorado and there found what might
have been a considerable fortune. His
claim was jumped, however, and all his
property stolen while he was absent,and
he was obliged to leave Sedgwick TO
save his life. Meantime his sister and
family had formed an intimate ac-
quailtance with the family OF William
Mckinley at Canton. Some time after
ward Miss Smith heard that her broth
er had died, and she grieved deeply
over his loss. He, too, was informed in
some way. that his sister was dead.
In 1879 Miss Smith attended meeting
OF faith curists at Philadelphia. During
It's progress. although she had not
moved for twenty years, she suddenly
leaped from her couch and begun to run
up and down the platform. completely
restored 10 health. Then she began to
preach, was appointed railroad evange-
list by the Baltimore & Ohio railroad,
and ever since has Travelled over Amer
lea In that capacity. She now resides In
Baltimore with her sister, Mrs. Annie
Howell.
At the last meeting held at Or. Mans
fields church. before the departure of
President Mckinley for Washington,
Miss Smith. as a special friend OF the
chief magistrate, was present. DR..
Mansfield prevailed upon her to tell her
strange story. The President was
deeply touched. and all present were s0
deeply touched that he and Or. Mans
field determined to have the story Of
her experience published in number
OF papers.
Three weeks later Or. Mansfield and
President Mckinley received letters
from Dickinson 3. Smith, residing near
San Francisco. In them he declared
that he believed he had found his long
lost sister Correspondence was opened,
and Miss Smith said she was convinced
that her brother had been found. She
then went to Chicago. where the reun-
ion took place.
