Story of "A Bnllet.

lie Petit Journal of Paris relates q
remarkable experience of NJ. Charles
Jallerat, who was wounded in the
war of 1870 while serving in the artil-
lery. He was struck by bullet in
the left temple, and in spite Of re-
peated attempts the surgeons were
unable to extract it. They expressed
the opinion, however, that the man
might live for years with the bullet in
his head. As matter Of fact, for
twepty-seven years it did not trouble
him in the least. Last May, how
ever, the bullet, which had remained
buried in the frontal tissues, moved
up toward the brain and NJ. Jallerat
became insane. For nearly fort
night his mind remained unbalanced,
but happily the bullet again shifted
its position, and NJ. Jallerat rocov-
cred. He did not feel any more in
convenience until quite recently, when
he experienced u curious sensation in
the throat. He succeeded in forcing
the obstruction into his mouth, and
was very much surprised to discover
that it was the bullet which he had
carried in his head for over quarter
of century.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES,
The Strange Custom Observed by Tribe
OF Farther India.

OF Farther India.
Among the Shan Karens OF farther
India funerals are made the occasions
Of grand wedding festivals, in which
all the manageable young men and
women of the village are privileged to
participate. AS it is not always con.
venient to hold these interesting cere.
monies mt the exact time villager
may die, it is customary to deposit the
corpse in some temporary resting
place till the marriage market is fa.
vorable to giving it obsequies worthy
Of its former estate. Consequently
six months or year may frequently
pass before the memory of the dead
Karen receives the honor which is its
due.
When a good time comes for we'd.
dings the remains are tax EN- from their
resting place and set upon a platform
which has been prepared for them,
and the eligible bachelors and mar
riageable young women are invited to
come and compete in marrying
match. The Funeral service" is then
begun with chorus of men celebrat-
ing the beauties of Karen maidens in
general. The girls respond in draw
ling falsetto. The bachelors, each in
his turn, begin usually for the sake of
peace, with the most muscular maiden.
II one of them is rejected, he waits till
his turn comes again, and addresses,
If he sees fit, some other girl.
The girls receive the proposals in
perfect self-possession, and respond
10 them in phrases like those with
which they have been addressed, the
models of which have come down
from old times. Reflections seldom
occur, except when man makes a
mistake aud applies to girl who is
known to be reserving herself for an
other. The "funeral service" goes on
in this way till it is plain that no more
alliances can be made, when it is
closed, and the body of the deceased
is buried. The matches thus made
are binding, and no other way of max
ing them is in favor.

Wonderful Mineral,

There is a wonderful mineral found
in Iceland that possesses the strange
property of producing two images of a
single object. On looking through it
at a pencil. for instance, you will see
two pencils, both of which will be
clearly defined The mineral is trans
lucent and crystalline and goes by
the name Of Iceland spar. The miae
in which it is found is located on the
eastern coast Of Iceland and is con-
trolled by the Danish government.
The spar is exceedingly valuable,
owing to it's many uses in the sciences,
particularly for the manufacture Of
optical instruments and for expert
ments in polarization.

A Peculiar Tribe In the Land or Fire.
Quite distinct and peculiar il the
Ona tribe, which inhabits the prairie
region Of TERRA del Fuego. The
great island has tho shape of u triangle,
and il almost as large a. the state Of
New York. Once upon time IL must
have had tropical climate, inasmuch
as the bones of monkeys and parrots
are found fossil there in great num-
bers. There is much excellent graz.
ing land, and sheep-raising is a grow
ing industry, the Onas being killed
of IA fast IA possible incidentally to
the process Of fencing the land. Their
children and women are captured,
when possible, and practically en-
shaved, being employed az servants at
the stations maintained by the Argen-
tine government On the island, or else
carried to Buenos Ayres. The Onas
inhabit the part of Terra del Fuego
which Magellan first saw, and their
habit of signaling to one another by
means of fires caused the famous nav
igator to call the country "Land Of
Fire. "-Detroit Free Press.

The following letter has been re.
ceived at Seattle, Wash, by c. W.
Chamberlin of G. w. Chamberlin g.
Co. from Joseph Green, Colonel of the
First Regiment Of the National Guard
of Washington, and an influential
business man, who left Seattle in July
last for the Klondike by way of Dyea
and the Chilkoot Pass.

shape, without any serious accident,

ran my boat through the canon and
portrayed the White Horse Rapids, rs
my boat was not long enough to run
through without great risk of getting
everything wet. Nearly all who came
up with me on the steamer Alki are
now here, or will be in few days.
This is my first chance to send out
letter.
This is II lively camp, and oil who
desire to do well are making money.
Wages are $40 n day for common labor,
Sl5 for mechanics, and $l5 at the
mines; but grub is very high here
now. Almost everybody carries
sack of gold dust, and passes IL over
to the clerk or dealer to take out the
amount of purchase. Every kind Of
gambling game is running wide open.
A man sits down to any kind of
game he desires, passes his sack to
the dealer, and names the number of
chips he desires and plays away.
Games run pretty high, too up into
the three figures. Every one seems
to have plenty of dust. Everybody
looks alike so far as clothing is con-
cerned. The richest mine owners will
compare favorably,in wearing apparel,
to the common tramps of Seattle.
~ haven't been idle since l arrived
here, / can assure you. Ihave staked
out town lot in the resident portion
of this fair city, 50x60 feet in size. On
the second day after my arrival I went
out on u stampede and staked out a
claim on Sulphur Creek. This creek
is forty-fve miles from Dawson. 1t was
only recently discovered. Every claim
on it has been located. Only two
claims have been worked any yet, but
they are proving quite good saw
two men with a rocker at work on one
of them, and they took out 1925 in
three hours. On the other claim, held
by Whttemore, who used to be en-
ployed in the King County court
house at Seattle, and three other men,
they took out with sluice boxes in two
weeks $4,000 anil found one nugget,
which saw, which weighed 80. 10.
The claim l staked is only a
short distance down the creek from
this one. l am certain that IL will
prove good. II my grub arrives soon

Railway Assessors to Apply a Uni
form System.
TOPEKA, Kan, June 3.-The state
board of railway assessors has declared
it's intention of increasing the assesses
ment of railroad property in Kansas
this year. A uniform system Of as
sessment has been determined upon.
The board states that the roads have
been allowed to make returns of rolling
stock in different ways heretofore and
that at least half of this property has
never been assessed, through the lack
Of uniform system. Last year the as
sessment of rolling stock amounted to
e,334,962.
In addition to the increase in assess
ment which the board means to accom-
plish, other increases will be made as
follows: An increase of $500 in the as
sessment Of each locomotive; an in
crease of $1,000 on each Pullman sleep
ing car; an increase Of 1000 per mile
on the side tracks at Kansas City,
Kan: an increase of 5000 per mile on
the Superior branch of the Santa Fe
running from Gladstone, Kan. to Su-
perior, Neb., a distance of 165 miles;
an increase of $4,000 per mile on the
Union Pacific track from Topeka to
Kansas City, distance of sixty-six
miles; an increase of $1,000 per mile on
the track of the Memphis road from
Kansas City to Paola, distance of
fifty miles; an increase of $40 per mile
on all telegraph wires has also been
decided upon by the board. The West
ern Union has 5000 miles of wire in
the state, and the Postal company 10
miles.
