II was about to repeat its horrible reprimand, or perhaps eNe cute the death sentence. He thought of the noreuplne-it hal made him strong. Being an expert swimmer he plunged boldly In and while his raft was meeting its fate in the rapids he managed to pull himself upon the shore utterly exhausted, bat saved.
 When he had reached the recording official he was informed that his claim was not properly staked, as the law re- quired such claims to be marked by four posts four inches square and squared twelve inches from the end. He was given fifteen days to return and place the proper stakes about the claim. With recollection of the hard ships and dangers which he had passed through it k not to be wondered that on his second trip he took with him two experienced river men, who built raft and took him back and forth with apparent ease, and safety through what had been to him alone a veritable death-trap, Besides the placer claim, in evidence of which he exhibited small vial of dust the product of four pans, he located two quartz claims, and brought out some pieces of rock abun- dantly speckled with free gold.

The remains of Columbus were re- gently taken from Havana to be sent to Spain. The remains of Columbus are at Genoa, Italy, where they were taken from Havana about eleven years ago. The remains of Columbus are on the island of San Domingo. Each of the above statements are being positive ly made. Which, if either, of them is correct, we haven't the slightest idea, but the reader can take his choice. It strikes us, however, that if all the statements are reliable, the remains of Columbus are mighty various.-Skagit County (Wash) Times. ".S

A New Jersey woman divorced her husband because he would not allow her to put pie on the bill of fare. The wretched man pleaded self-defense, but the plea didn't work little bit. He tried to show that he couldn't afford pie, because he didn't have the dough. He insisted that pudding is really pie with the lid missing. He even advanc- ed the proposition that pie had a bad effect on his wife's temper, by making her crusty. But the judge was obdurate, and the brutal husband got his just deserts.

The fruit is round and grows on the boughs like apples of the bigness of a good penny loaf. When ripe it turns yellow, soft and sweet, but the natives take it green and bake it in all oven until the rind is black. This they scrape of and eat the inside,which is soft and white like the inside of new baked bread, having neither seed nor stone but if it is kept about twenty four hours it is harsh. As this fruit is in season eight months in the year the natives feed upon no other sort of bread during that time.
