Captain Hostlcr,s Troubles.

The troubles of Captain Hostler of the steamer Remington Hall arc driy- ing him to madness and making him white haired. And it is all about theol ogy.
 Months ago Captain Hostler, n worthy British sailorman, left Colom- bo, Ceylon, with crew made up of tho inhabitants of that place. Colombo is noted for many things, one of them be- ing varied assortment of religions. The shades of theology were so fully represented i'll Captain Hostler's crew that every blessed heathen of them seemed to have different religion from the rest and call to impress his own particular species upon his messmates. From Colombo to New York there was continuous circus of the monkey and parrot type.
 The Mohammedan felt 1t incumbent on him to say his prayers at sunrise, looking toward the east While in these profound devotions the Buddhist would slip behind the Moslem and welt him over the head with an iron belaying pin fO convince him of the error of his ways The Arab would not pull on the same rope with the Lasear, because his religion declared that if he did so he would be unclean Time out of mind pork has been the sailors stand by, but E part of Captain Hostler's crew would as { aoon have eaten baby as piece of pig. Others brought with them live Z 6heep to be killed by themselves for E meat during the voyage. They would beaccursed and consigned to the lowest depths if they ate meat killed by the Christian unbeliever. They slaughtered the animals down to the last one, which was a female sheep, smuggled in on them by mistake. It being against their religion to kill eve, the unfortunate captain could neither make mutton of the old thing nor throw her overheard, So she had to be brought along to New
 York, where she made him trouble with the qHaTantine authorities. Captain Hostler is now wondering how he is go- ing to get his shipload of religions home again

of entirely different goods, velvet or silk, the junction being concealed under q band of fur, embroidery or galloon. A plaid skirt may have plain top; skirt of plain goods may have plaid top. This upper portion may be cut straight around OF may be curved or pointed.
 The foot of skirts is often cut in squares, points or scallops, which are allowed to fall over an under piece of velvet or other material or a plating of silk. This is an excellent method of lengthening short skirts.
 Skirts are seen arranged to open over panels or plaited fans at the side. Another way of securing variety is to button the tablier down to the body of the skirt ty paste, steel or other decorative buttons.
 Although the most elegant costumes have now the skirt and bodice of one color, these are not by any means necessarily of the same material. Skirts of satin, broche silk or velvet often accompany bodice of mousseline de soie, crepe de chine or chif- ion of the same tint, or the bodice may be of velvet, with satin or silk skirt
 For evening costumes velvet and nous seline de sGie wIH s}e much used in eombi- nation this winter and will compose some very elegant toilets.

It has yoke of old red velvet, heavily embroidered with gold and silver, On this is mounted the peler- inc of ehinehilla fur, the whole being lined with quilted coral satin. The yalois col- lar, which Is embroidered in one with tho yoke is bordered with chinehilla.

DiseaEes oENIlnern.

As to whether there are any diseases peculiar to the miners calling there Is evidence that, with one, or perhaps two. exceptions, there are none such. These exceptions arc all affection of the eye, termed nystagmus," and. in a lesser degree, that disease of the respiratory organs which usually goes by the name of miners asthma. Nystagmus, al- though not q prevalent affection, is one with we'll marked symptoms directly txaeeable to the posture of the oollies while at work.
 The symptoms are oscillation with more or less of a rolling motion of the eyeballs, giddiness. with headache, and the appearance of objects moving in circle, or lights dancing before the eyes
 In severe cases the person affected may stumble and be so much incoH- venienced as to be obliged to stop work. Dr. Simeon Shell of Sheffield has given this disease special attention for about 90 years and has published the results of his investigations, which show be- yond all reasohable doubt that nystag- mus is confined almost entirely to those underground workmen who are engaged i'll holing or undercGtting the coal, and is due to the miners habit of looking upward above the horizontal line of vision, and more or less obliquely while at work tying cn his side. It has been observed also in fremen and others who have occasion frequently to examine the roof, turning the eyes obliquely while doing so. Any other occupation in which the person may habitually turn the eyes upward and sideways will induce nystagmus. Coal Trade Jour. nal.

The next great industrial exposition & to occur ill this country will come off at
 0maha next year. It opens June 1 and q ntinues till the 1st of November. In &I Respects it is believed this will be the important exposition ever held west of the Mississippi river. It cer- tainly will be so far as the show of live stock is concerned. The resources of the vast grazing country of our west and southwest will be displayed ill a strik- ing manner The month of October will be devoted especially to the exhibition of animals, domestic and otherwise. No doubt the timber wolf, the fat steer weighing a ton and the Kansas jack rab- bit will be there cheek by jowl. The name of the show will be the Trans mississippi and International exposi- tion. It is. however, hoped and expect ed that manufacturers, merchants and agriculturists all over the United States will exhibit their wares and contribute to the success of the affair The mining exhibit will be the most interesting ever seen in this or any other country.

 ward colonization resorted to at every spring election would come to an end
 It is urged in behalf of this proiect that the poll tax would be paid more cheerfully, for no man who could p-s- sibly raise the money would surrender his right to be heard at the elections
 Another penalty might be added to make payment of the tax doubly sure
 It might be provided that only holders of poll tax receipts would be admitted to participation in the war with Spain.

ONE VETERAN WITHOUT A PEN
 SION.

I sat on hill with a sergeant who knew history and horses. He remem- bered "Pansy," which had served six teen years in the troop-and a first rate old horse then; but a damned in- spector with no soul came browsing around one day and condemned that old horse. Government got a measly ten dollars-or something like that. This ran along for time; when one day they were dropping up some lone- ly valley, and behold, there stood "Pansy,' as thin as a snake, tied by wlckieup. He greeted the troop with joyful neighs. The soldiers asked the captain to be allowed to shoot him, but of course he said no. I could not learn if he winked when he said it. The column wound over the hill a car bine rang from its rear, and "Pansy'' lay down in the dust without a kick. Death is better for an Indian than a horse. The thing was not noticed at the time. but made a world of fuss afterwards, though how it all came out the sergeant did not develop. nor was it necessary.-From "The Essentials at Fort Adobe" by Frederic Reming- ton in Harper's Magazine for April

A TENDERFOOT AND UNCLE
 SAM'S CAVALRY.

I remember a dear friend who had a taste for out-of-doors. He pene- trated deeply into the interior not long since to see these same troopers do a line of heroics, with band of Ban nocks to support the role. The h. dians could not finally be got on the center of the stage, but made hot-foot for the agency. My friend could not see any good in all this, nor was he satisfied with the first act even. He must needs have a climax, and that not forthcoming, he loaded his disgust into a trunk line and brought it back to his club corner here In New York. He there narrated the failure of his first night; said the soldiers were not even dusty as advertised; damned the Indians keenly, and swore at the west by all his gods.
 There was a time when I, too, regard ed not the sketches in this art, but yearned for the finished product. That, ] however, is not exhibited generally over once in a generation.

much development of water at that period and it was all needed for irri- gation. Wheat was comparatively cheap then, for there was not a wide market for it until it was converted into four. When other mills sprang up and the price of four fell below $1O hundred, Hellings & Vail foresaw financial disaster. When the price got down to cents a pound they realized that the disaster had fallen. Then they quit the business of mak- ing flour and left the country. A great many more persevering or less avaricious gentlemen who had been all this time holding up stages at less profit than four at , cents pound, kept on at it, imagining they were still on the road to vast wealth.

FEARS OF FOUL PLAY.
G. w. Larrimer, the Mining Man, Is
 Missing.

The friends of G. W. Larrimer, the mining man, are greatly alarmed for his safety, and fear that he has been murdered. MT. Larrimer left here about four weeks ago for Ehrenberg, where he was interested in mining and milling operations. He expected to be gone from the city about two weeks. His son, Leslie B. Larrimer, teller in the Phoenix National bank, has re- ceived a letter from Collins, the mill man, at Ehrenberg, saying that MT. Larrimer left there fo Phoenix two weeks ago. He was accompanied by a stranger whose name Collins did not mention if he knew.
 He had bar of gold bullion, the re- suit of a custom run for Mickey Doolan, who has some mining claims in that locality. He never reached Phoenix and inquiry has been made by his son of all sources from which he believed it would be possible to learn anything of him.
 More than year ago Larrlmer and J. c. Kellum obtained possession of a group of mining claims near Ehren- berg and did considerable development work upon one of them, the SOcorro Not long ago they bonded the SCcorro for SS,000 to party of ColradO men and Douglas Gray, mining man, for merly Of Tombstone, is in charge MT. Kellum said yesterday that noth- ing had yet been paid on the bond The mining venture of Larrimer X Kellum was not very successful and the. indebtedness incurred so far as has been heard from is about $3.500 This. too. is a comparatively small part of the money expended in the work MT. Larrimer has resided in Phoenix about three years and has been engaged in mining all the time. He came here from Wichita, Kan.
