CelluloId Pictures.

The celluloid films used in the
veriscope and vitascope may be the
source of danger if not carefully
guarded. Celluloid is extremely ex-
plosive and infiammable and a spark
may set it off with most terrific re-
suits. 1t would seem that some other
material should be chosen for all
purposes where intense light and
heat are employed. Even the harm
less looking dressing comb may en-
danger life if, while my lady is
making her toilet, she brings it too
near to the light. In many homes
celluloid articles are strictly prohib-
tied for this reason. Especially
should this be noted where there are
children who cannot understand the
necessity for extreme prudence

A Clever Boy.

While reading Addison's "Sir
Roger De Coverley" recently the
subject of belief in ghosts arose in
the class. Naturally in this pro-
gressive age all the scholars soorn-
ed the idea. One boy was especially
vehement in his denunciation of
spooks.
But, persisted the teacher,
merely to develop his thinking pow
ers, Shakespeare seems TO have be-
Ieved in ghosts. -
That's all right" retorted the
boy. Il know more than Shakes

Is your neighbor's new frock
tawdry, madame Do you look
with the eye of scorn upon its tinsel
passementerie. and its cotton backed
velveti But do you know why you
condemn it with the epithet "taw-
dryi"
Well, back in the good old days
when country fairs and patron saints
were plenty there was one St. Au-
drey. especially beloved of girls with
a taste for trinkets She was a good
English saint, her name being a cor
ruption- of st. Ethelrida She was
reputed to have been rather fond of
finery herself. Indeed the qualities
which caused her canoniZation were
SO interviewer with other pleasingly
frivolous ones that she died from a
swelling i'll the throat due to the
wearing of an overnight necklace.
So ST. Audrey was the patron saint
of those who had a youthful love OF
fnery. and St. Audrey's day was
the day of the country fair dearest
to those who liked to buy gewgaws.
1t followed naturally that the mer-
chants finally sold baubles that gilt
tered more than the pure gold in
them warranted, and by and by
whenever trinket tarnished or g
silk cracked the gossIps said, THAT
was bought at St. Audrey's fair. >

THE MOCKlNG BIRD.
He Is Not Such n Great Mimic and I'm m
Natural Thief.

he Is HoC Such a Great Mimic and I'm n
Natural Thief.
Very few persons ever visit the
southern portion of the United States
and become at all familiar with its
woodland life without being capti-
waited By that prince of singers, the
mocking bird. Not only as a musi-
clan, but in general 'smartness, he
is far and away ahead of anything
else that flies. He is the Yankee"
among birds. In vivacity, in clever
ness, in a quick and dexterous use
of his small but brilliant brain, it
would be hard to point out his equal,
and when in the springtime the
woods resound with his clear, flute
like and extultant notes even the
man, If such there be, who hath
no music in his soul" would find it
hard to resist the contagious good
humor of his glad and gleeful sOHg.
And yet the mocking bird (Mimus
polyglottus) is incorrectly named.
He is by no means a natural mimic.

toned that in this particular far Sur
pass him. This may seem very
strange thing to say, in view of the
stories current SO abunGantly illus
trating and emphasizing this sup
posed gift.
As to the morals of this little past
master of song, the truth must he
told, he has no respect for the eighth
commandment He is a thief, cum
ming, inveterate, unscrupulous "con-
veyer' of other peoples property.
Peaches, grapes, strawberries, figs,
Japan persimmOns, surinaIn cher
ries, Galley guavas, are to him le-
gitimate plunder. With the eXcep-
tiOn of oranges, bananas, pineapples
and ordinary guavas, which he nev-
or touches, nothing is safe from his
depredations. ScarecrOws don't even
amuse him when he has made up his
mind to sample fruit. He is a capi-
tai judge. too, and always selects
the largest, ripest and most juicy
specimens for his repast. No eco
nomic considerations trouble him
either. He takes bite here and a
nibble there and ruins 20 times as
much as he consumes. Bagging fruit
is no protection. for he only tears
the bags to pieces and helps himself.
Even vines and fig trees incased in
mosquito netting are not secure; the
little marauder will,get in somehow
and complacently take what he
wants.
Yet in spite of all this the bene-
fits received by the south land from
this cunning little giver of sweet
sounds and lover of sweet fruits
vastly outweigh all the damage that
he does, however vexatious it may
be. Bugs and worms and creeping
things swarm here the year round.
The mocking bird is essentially in
sectivorous. His STEADY diet" con-
sists of the enemies that the horti-
culturist and the fruit grower have
most occasion to dread. He takes
his fruit by way of dessert and has
fairly earned it like a good boy by
eating first substantial dinner

Big Strike on the Daisy.

ID. w. Eaves received assay returns
yesterday on the ore sent from the new
ledge struck on the Daisy mine in the
Jerome creek district. The assay
shows Sjl in gold. The new ledge is
located $50 feet north Of the old work
ings on this mine. The ore taken for
the assay was only at the depth of 20
feet and indications from the surface
showed that with Increase of depth
the ore was becoming more heavily
mineraized. The ore is an iron con-
centrate resembling closely the famous
mines in the Baker City country. The
ledge is perfect in every particular and
is no doubt the main ledge of the mine
The Da.sy was good property upon
the other workings alone but with this
in prospect the mine will become one
of the most valuable in the state. 1t Is
located advantageously being only %
miles from the railroad. The concen.
trates can be hauled for shipment AT
very little comparative cost. The hew
ledge is two feet wide.
