The call on the floor of the mining
exchange yesterday was a hot number
and the week closed strong and with
more than usual activity in the pit, the
call being prolonged for 20 minutes or
half an hour on account of the interest
taken in Northern Light, the dealings
in which was one of the features of
the day, the stock huctuating backward
and forward between 10 and 1864 cents,
the heaviest dealings being at 1914, this
being the closing bidding quotation
with 161s cents asked.

$32, with offerings at $40, the stock be-
ing in earnest demand in lots of ten

icled the trst transfer of the call and
dropped a small block at 901a cents.
While LOCO shares found a buyer at
Sgj4 cents, the stock being decidedly
slumpy at the close. Mammoth, while
inactive in the way of sales, registered
gains IN the bidding and was stronger
in the holdings. Overland advanced

ers in the pit, while Ontario was a IA
VCrite at $375 with offerings at $420.
Sacramento was decidedly strong at
the quotations given below, while ad-

responses and figured extensively in
the dealings of the hour. South Swan
sea was a ready seller at $12215; Dex-
ter was stronger and was readily
picked up at Sl.05, while Grand Central
was favorite at $4:70, a board lot

Fine DueIins with onions.

Two well known and musicaIIy in

joke turned on them in good style BY
a pair of Galena girls Christmas day.
Some time ago they called upon
the girls. who are as bright as they are
pretty Out of pure ''cussedness" one
of the young men had swiped an opion
in Carthage. and this he had in his
pocket. While at the house of the
young ladies the bright idea of dump
ing the onion In the stove struck him,
and he did SO with the result that the
parior was deserted for the remainder
OF the evening. The young ladies made
a mental resolve to get square but said
nothing. The day before Christmas
the young men found an express pack
age at the Office with heavy charges
due. Anticipating fine Christmas gift
of some sort or other they paid the
money, to find when they opened the
package that it contained onions and
the compliments OF the two Galena

In 1909 the house was inhabited by

mint. She was one of the beauties OF
the day, and celebrated in several KIT

Beauty and wit strove, each in vain,
To vanquish Bacchus and his train;
But Barton with successful charms,
From both their quivers drew their
arms.
The rowing god his sway resigns.
And awfully submits his vines.
Mrs. Barton became housekeeper to
Lord Halifax on the death of his wife,
and did not escape the scandal OF a
scandal-loving age.

According to a Mexican legend, the

from the juice of the maguey, or agave
The liquor, so 1t is said, was discovered
by a Toltee noble, who sent some OF

daughter. The monarch drank the
pulque and looked at the maiden.

taste of the liquor made the lady seem

Highly Developed Sense Ell smelling
Why should it be considered strange
that an animal depending on its nose,

as delicate a degree? A friend OF mine
told me he could lean over kettle OF

any other on a handkerchief julia

and even formed his likes or dislikes
of strangers by that means. Rev. M. b.
Wynne wrote me that his young Drosn-

rabbit was in it's burrOw by smelling at
the opening.
The deaf-blind always display this
extreme delicacy of scenting powSs
(except, of course, in such cases as
Laura Bridgeman, Ragnhild Kaata,
Willie Cation, ETC., where the senses OF
taste and smelling were destroyed by
the disease which ruined their sight
and hearing, and it would seem that
they only appreciate distinctions which
those in possession of all their senses
neglect. I know that doctors will say
that the organ of smelling is but vesti-
