Murray Innes is entitled to act as Santa Claus at the Christmas tree. He returned from Riverside last Monday night and was the first biped to cross the waste of snow covering Pinal noun tain. With a Charokee Indian as guide, he started out to brave the els ments and soon had to take the lead to rescue the Indian. After toiling up the mountain to Pioneer, he found the roof of the station partly caved in, the station keeper gone, no food for mau or beast, and no blankets to warm the currents of his corporesl body. Night had spread its sumbre mantle, and the prospect was anything but pleasing, yet there was only one thing to do, to plod on through sixteen miles of snow to Globe, the haven of rest and refresh ment. Murray must have been the lost sheep of the ninety and nine, as Prov idence protected him and brought him safely home. He arrived at eleven o'clock p. m., after laborous journey of sixteen hours, l6 to proposition sixteen hours of hardship and one Tn which to thaw ont.

1t has just been discovered that the
snipe is able to repair injuries to his
own person. Whenever the snipe is
wounded about the body or his leg
broken he does not necessarily crawl
away to some quiet nook to die. Most
other birds give themselves up as dead
when such a misfortune befalls them,
but the snipe does not seem to mind a
little thing like that. He simply flies
away to some quiet spot and tears
feather after feather from his side or
wing, or from any other part of his
body than the wounded place. AS
soon as the snipe has obtained three
or four loose feathers he quickly strips
off the downy part and allows the hard
quill to fall to the ground. The down
he places over the injured part, and
before an unlocking bird would have
time to say Jack Robinson" the snipe
has stopped the flow of blood. The
crisis being over, the snipe finishes his
surgical operation more leisurely. This
he does by finding some cast-off feath-
ers lying about the grass, and after
| tearing out the quilts he lays fold after
fold of the new down over the wound.
The blood acts as a sort of gum to the
down, SO that when the snipe has fin
ished his work he is completely out OF
danger. When in few weeks nature
provides some new cuticle for the
snipe's wound. the artificially applied
feathers are dropped, little by little,
until finally the snipe's breast looks
every whit as well as it was before
he was hurt. The person who discov-
cred that snipes are their own surgeons
| is the famous OrnithOlOgist, FatiO,
who announced his interesting dscov-
cry to the International Physical So
ciety at their recent convention in &C.
neva. M. Fatio says snipe do not
merely stop bleeding wounds on their
bodies. He has had evidence showing
that they are also capable of construct
ing splint to nurse broken wings and

General Wheeler's Slip.

Writing of the battle before Santiago
a correspondent of the New York press
says: During all the terrible firing
of shot and shell which lasted until
darkness set in, Gen. Wheeler was the
only man | saw who did not dodge or
duck. He sat astride his horse eoolly
giving orders, chatting with his aids
and taking things as they came" as
an officer who was lying on the ground
remarked. Gen. Wheeler provoked one
good laugh, which went all along the
line. Through his glass he saw the
enemy retreating, and he turned to a
group of friends and remarked glee-
fully. Its all right. boys; the Yam
KEGS are yielding" The little general
corrected himself when he saw the
smile that came, and said: Il mean

THE PIPE FACE.
Close Observers VIII Notice 1t in Old
Smokers.

Smokers.
The constant habit of smoking pipes
has perceptible effect upon the face.
The pressure of the lips 10 hold the
pipe in position increases their curva
ture around the stem and the muscles
become more rigid here than in other
parts. Thus, says Tit-Bits, the lips at
a certain point become stronger. and
the pipe is unconsciously held in the
same habitual position. After long
continuation of the habit small cir
cular wrinkles form parallel with the
curvature of the lips around the stem
These are crossed by finer lines, caus-
ed by the pressure Of the lips to retain
the stem in position. In the case of old
men who have smoked a pipe for years,
the effect upon the lips is very marked,
not only altering the form OF the lips
but of one entire side of the face. caus-
ing the wrinkles that are the effect
of age to deepen. and, instead Of fol-
lowing the natural course of faclal
wrinkles, to change their course so as
to radiate from the part Of the mouth
where the pipe is habitually carried
Furthermore, one or both lips often
protrude, just like the lips of people
who have sucked their thumbs when
children. The effects of pipe smoking

holds the stem between his teeth the

ter How Heavily Drawn Upon.
The famous pitch lake, or great btu
men deposit Of Trinidad, is situated at
Point Libres, on an elevation of about
a mile from the sea. It covers an area
OF nearly one hundred acres. and It's
appearance is that of a dull, still, dark
waste. 1t is irregularly circular, and
it surface perCeptibly convex, being
more elevated in the center, and
thence insensibly declining on all sides.
In the center the pitch is quite soft
in fact, semi-liquid-but it becomes
more and more hardened as its circum-
ference widens out. Except the soft
central parts, the surface is intersected
in ell directions by numerous assures
or chasms, varying in breadth from
two feet TO sixteen feet, and from half
foot TO seven feet in depth, widen
ing also at the surface and terminal
ing acutely at the bottom. thus pro-
ducing, as it were. inverted angular
hOllOws. while the sides are regularly
rounded. These crevices are at all
times filed with fresh water. Here
and there. where the bitumen is mixed
with earthly water, grow ichens.
MOSES. grasses, etc. The center Of the
lake, the pitch pot, or chaudiere, as
it is called, is at all times so soft that
it would be impossible to venture on it
without mourning the danger of being
engulfed. The lake is government
property. and parts OF it are leased
cut 20 private individuals, who have
to pay royalties according to the
amount Of pitch removed, which
amount is checked by the government
The pitch lake is practically mex
haustible. No matter what quantity
is taken out. it is replaced by fresh
pitch. which always wells up to nil
the hole. The surface Of the outer
edges Of this most wonderful Of lakes
is quite hard enough to walk upon; but
curious result ensues if you stand
still for any length OF time on one
spot. For some yards around you the
pitch bodily sinks until it forms
basin. 1t is quite different to sinking
in sand. where your feet gradually dis
appear without making any apparent
difference in the level of the ground
