Natural soft Soap in Puddics.

A party of gentlemen from the east who have been hunting and fishing for the past month in the Big Horn noun tains and basin met while there with a pertinent illustration of the natural TtGrvels of the great central west. This was nothing less than the discovery of a series of pits, or vats, of natural soft soap, the excellent quality of the prod uct showing that old Dame Nature is we'll competent, when in the mood, to hold up fully the end of her string as a housewife. These natural soft~coap pits, seven in number and having an average capacity of about 1 1,o00 gallons, are scattered over an area of two or three acres of allfali land, situated just below the mouths of half dozen not springs ard two large springs of prac- tically pure lubricating oil. The water from the hot springs and the oil drain age combining with each other and act ing on the all,ali deposit constitute a natural soap manufactory, the product of which is gathered in the adjacent EcTies of earth cavities or pits. Just below the pits themselves is a wide tract of sponglest marsh soil in whose depths the soft-soap surplus is ab- sorbed. The product is perfectly mar letable, end in the coming commercial development of the Big Horn basin aoap syndicate.-Irpvcr News.

WHY THE BABY DIED.

Its Elaborate Clothes Were Too Great .
 Strain.
 This interesting story of the royal layette reminds me of another story, perhaps because it is so very unlike. Once there was a little woman who lived across the street, and. as we are often more or less the victim of the people across the street.-the people who watch our doings with their noses fiattcned against window panes or concealed be- hind lace draperies-that little woman now becomes my victim in this story.
 She was 70 and newly married, and . baby had been to her an ideal since the days when she played with dolls and dressed them in fnery to eclipse all the dolls in the town. recall the wonder ful layette prepared for this baby that the account of the royal Russian baby's have I ever conceived of aught more elaborate. The baby was somewhat of u disappointment to the mother. It was a pathetic, unhappy, innamed, scrawny-looking representative of the genus homo, and not at all the ideal baby the mother had in her mind. But, bless you, the mother love soon trans formed it into an ideal, and made it the possessor of infinite baby graces, and then there were all it's clothes, lace crea- tions all tied in ribbons, and not an ar ticle that was the least bit common place. The trunk full of clothes was l. ha x< that mother.
 Every day she dressed the baby three times, and tried on it's tiny finger rings, and put on its three o'clock locket every afternoon. Every time that wretched baby had on a clean dress it grew more limp and more listless. One day she told one of the neighbors from across the street that she anticipated taking the baby to Ohio to see it's grandmother. As this was said in the presence of the persecuted baby, shall always think that he reflected upon the number of times he would have to exhibit the lnce gowns, and then, as the easiest way out the difficulty, he just laid down and died
 When the neighbors from across the street called to express their sympathy, the hcart-broken mother was sad and hopeless heap in the middle of the floor, surrounded by that fateful layette. As she gathered up lace garment to dry her tears, she sobbed aloud:
 And --- to-think we--were-go- ing-to - Ohio-oniy - next - week and - now my mother-will-- --see--its--clothes!"
 And some way thought that baby heard.-N. Y. Recorder.

Why the Buffalo Had ,o oo.

Gen. Neison A. Nj Hes, in writing about the wholesale killing of buffalo, says: After the hides were removed the car cass would be poisoned iD many cases, some yeariing buffalo being generally selected, and next morning there Inignt be found iO or 50 dead woi,es iytng scattered around, victims of the strycb- nine. In this way the large game vas rapidly destroyed, together w,,n count less numbers of wolves that had ,nrived only by proving upon them. This might seem like cruelty anu wastcful extrayagance, but the buiiaio. ,.sc the Indian, stood in the way of caii,>ntlon and the path of progress. anu The de- cree had gone forth that they mus, give way. It was impossible to herd aonies- tic stock m q country where ,hs, were constantly liable to be siun.l,,.u,,d by the moving herds of wild anin.ais. The same territory which quarter of century ago was supporting those vast herds of wild game is now sustaining millions of domestic animals wh,cii nf- ford the food supply to hundreds of millions of people in civilized coun- tries."--st.

Sermon in Stinginess.

A Missouri exchange breaches ser. mon on the above subject. says the Mohave Miner, in the following rich, rare, spicy and truthful manner, and you, dear reader, know there are just such persons in every town, no matter how small or large it may be:
 "If there is anything that gives ms longing for eternal rest and deep, damp solitude, it is man who comes to town or a country, builds up a good paying business, grows rich from the resources of prosperous country and then squats down on his wealth like a clucking hen on door knob, and is too internal stingy to even let the gravel grind in his own gizzard.
 "A real, genuine, lS-karat stingy, selfish man can't be honest, and if he ever gets to heaven and has wings, he will fold them up and walk for fear he might ruflie plume or lose tail feather. The class that builds up a town or country and enjoy life and make the best citizens are the enter prising and liberal men, who believe in living and letting others live, and who, when they get a dollar. don't squeeze it until the goddess of liberty feels as if corset, laced to the last notch, would feel more comfortable. Such squeezing is what causes hard times and stops the circulation of the American eagle. If it were not for our broad gauged, enterprising men it would be impossible to build up apros- porous city. Life would be one big game of grab, and the devil take the hindmost wonld be the order of the day"

delightful message TO the people OF the

Thousands upon thousands of Clevelsnders
will remember the great Christian Eudeayor
Convention which was held in this city in
1894. and what a remarkable body OF high
spirited and intelligen young people gathered
in the city from all quarters of the continent
Those who expected 10 see people with sancti-
monious faces and airs CT exceeding piety
were very much surprised 10 see progressive
and energetic young men and women, who
were healthy both in mind and body, and
whose views upon life were wholesome and
broad. Cleveland, like some of its predeces-
sors among the cities which had the oppor-
correctly estimate the size of the gathering,
and was in a measure unprepared. But it is
10 the credit of Cleveland that il rose TO the
occasion and royalty entertained the del
egates.
The convention this year is to be held in San
Francisco, and we would advise our San Fran
ei SEQ friends 10 prepare for flood. There is
no such thing as measuring this progressive
body of citizens. 1t is not unlikely to swell
the transient population OF San Francisco So

that the City of San Francisco VIII be just as
delighted with the delegates TO the Christian

MISSION SAN JOSE.

With civic parade and iubilatiOn, with
religious pomp and ceremonies, music of
bands and songs OF choirs, with picnics
and barbecues on this day will be cele-
brated the centenary of Mission San Jose.
II is fitting that such recognition should
be accorded to such events. The quaint
adobes built by the padres and their
Indian converts before the dawn of the
present century may crum BILE and disap-
pear, but the good work and influence of
Junipero Sierra and his fellow m issionaries
will remain precious and indelible part
OF the history of California. They wrought
better than they knew.
Certain it is that they appreciated the
wonderful possibilities of our soil and cli-
mate. They brought with them from
Spain the olive and the vine and planted
them in our valleys, which they redeemed
from wiidernesses. Where they planted
their banner, in TIE shelter OF hills or by
inland streams or on the borders of our
bays, villages and cities-the proudest
cities of the sundown shore-Tere des-
tined to rise and expand. In the very
nomenclature OF these cities and villages
they have lasting monument.
The first transplanIed fruits that ripened
in the California sun grew in the gardens
OF the missions, and on the broad acres of
the mission grants the gentle winds of the
western FL Dorado first played with the
silken tassels of the yellow corn or made
the tall wheat nod its golden head.
Mission San Jose, located in the present
county of Alameda, was founded on
Trinity Sunday, June IL, 1897. The o.igi-
nal building however. did not Withstand
the assaults of time and a more substan-
tial structu re was raised and now marks
the spot where Padre Lasuen 100 years
ago solemnly dedicated the mission Ito
St. Joseph, the spiritual spouse OF the
Holy Virgin"
