COSTLIEST WINE.

The most costly n precious wine in
the world is that contained in a cask
named the Rose, in the Bremen town hall
cellars. This Rudesheim, of the vintage
of the year 1868. is of the color of old ale
and has a wonderful aroma. 1t is never
sold, but is used exclusively for the sick
of Bremen, the only exceptions having
been When a small bottle was presented
to Emperor William L., another to Fred
erick Ill, n one to Prince Bismarck.
The supposed honey value of this wine
is something beyond credence, but, as it
is never sold, this detail is of slight i'm
p%ortance. Old as it is, it is improbable
that any but connoisseurs could get it
down, as the taste is something terrific.

PURPOSE OF FLIES.

1t has never been discovered that the
fly serves any useful purpose. and it does
a great deal more injury than people
commonly suppose. We are accustomed
to think of the flies simply as a nuisance,
but they are undoubtedly tho carriers of
contagion, as was abundantly proved
during the war of the rebellion and also
in the camps of our army last summer.
1t is the judgment of the highest author
tiles that a considerable part of the
typhoid fever was due to the flies in the
camps. The danger of the insect may be
seen from the fact that an ordinary
house fly will lay 1920 eggs during it's ex-
istence, and 80 per cent of them will be
Matched out. During the ordinary sum
mer II or - generations of flies will be
produced. Every female fly is the pro-
genitOr of millions of flies during a single
summer. 80

WELL KNOWN MINING BROKER

me Well known mining broker, w. Fl.

trouble.
1t seems that about four months ago he
advertised a certain mining company to
be known as the Butte & Bingham Cop

me company was incorporated for 900
ooo shares at a par value of | cent per
share. and he succeeded in selling about
oVc,00o shares of the stock at l cent per

out by certain confidential persons who
TOOK 1t upon themselves to keep the inno-
cent investors from losing their money
by innocent investment in such cheap.

bmany of the would-be investors to stop
hand consider the advisahility of taking a
chance. while witt, others it only made
them more anxious to place their hare

Among those who We're enticed into

IN the Butte & Bingham Copper Mining
company's shares at l cent per share
We're two ladies. They invested $500, TAX
ing 10000 shares between them. Mr..
Nichols took their money with as much
graceas if they were worth a million
apiece. and this is just what has caused
all or the trouble, as it now appears that
both OF these ladies have sold out their
stock to Mr.. Nichols for the small sum
OF $500, making 1900 net money on
their investment of 5000, and now he is
compelled to keep two clerks and a small
boy selling shares at Is cents per share,
ana Mr.. Nichols claims that the next
BLOCK VIII positively go on the market at
no tess than 80 cents, and possibly so

the first of the year.

SILVER, l12 per cent copper and s per cent
lead also as high as $30.40 in gold, So

IA $40 per cent copper.
Mr.. Nichols advises everyone who is
contemplating the purchase OF Butte &

the stock has reached so cents per share,
as 1t Will then look more like Il legitimate
investment than to buy now While it is

HUNTING THE RACCOON.

was a good deal of fun and drollery in the
character of many who, as they acquired

Ound considerable amusement in prac-
ticing jokes on the less experienced in
dividuals who arrived in the woods to
join friends who had come before.
Indian corn was one of the principal
crops raised by the early settlers, and as
the cobs became ripe and yellow, the
fields We're invariably visited by families
of raccoons, which did considerable dam

of the yOung men to meet at night and

proach the field quietly in the darkness,
and let the dogs loose, the raccoons usu-
ally escaping from among the corn to
nearby trees.
On one occasion a small party of rae

When he saw the young men bring forth

made some inquiries regarding the ma
ture and character of the wild beasts
that We're to be attacked. The boys at
once saw a chance for some fun.
"Hoot!." said one of the hunters; "a
"raccoon has as little courag e as a cluck-
ing hen, and will never hurt anyone if

other hunter. The last time | went alone

dogs loose, out came an awful bear as

Its vitality was so great that it lived

Soon there was an unusual uproar. An
enormous male lynx had been skulking
anon the stalks, and was quickly at
tackled. After making some diabolical
u~tterances and causing the hair to fly
from about the dogs ears. the beast
leaped the fence. entered the woods, and
climbed the trunk of a pine tree that had
been broken eff by the storm at a con-
siderable distance from the ground. On
the top sat the lynx, watching with fiery
eyes the dogs below. When Il fire was
kindled, the ugly beast could be seen
plainly: the hair all bristled up, the eyes
blazing. and the formidable teeth show
ing in a hideous grin. Some whispers
passed between the hunters, but nothing
Vas said about the nature of the beast,
the stranger still supposing hat it was a
raccOOn.
He's an Unlocking deevil,' said the
Scotchman, as he gazed upwards; sit
would take little to gar him come down
and worry us. Whar's yer musket?"
i've lost my flint" said the man with
the gun; and it's took dark to shoot
anyway. Put on more fire, and it will
jump down to the dogs. Who's got the
bottle?"
Some of the sparks from the fire caught
on the dry. decayed wood of the pine. and
the resinous bark was soon in a blaze,
the flames creeping upward towards the
beast; it was evident that the creature
would soon have to come down.
There viii be a terrible fight here
soon" said one of the men as he took
hold of an AK: n hen addressing the
stranger. he advised him to climb a beach
tree that stood not far from the burning
stump. The advice was taken with the
remark, from the Scotchman, that his
legs would be safer there than among so
many teeth as We're likely to be engaged
in the fight during the mex few mo-
| ments.
The lynx on the high stump, half-blind-
ed by smoke and tortured by heat, saw a
! dark object on the next tree which SEEM
ed to afford a resting place. Gathering
his long. sinewy legs under him., a ire
mendous leap was made and the beast
! landed on the back of the Scotchman in
the tree. The weight of the animal and
the force of the descent caused the
clothes of the man to give way in frag-
ments beneath the terrible claws of the
lynx, and the MAJ and beast both fell to
the ground among the fierce dogs-the
| enraged beast striking out with his
armed avs in all directions. The activ-
ity of the lynx enabled him to escape into
the woods. fOllOWed by the dogs, which
We're scratched and bleding.
The fallen Scotchman was raised from
the g~rOund-his clothes in tatters and the
marks Of the beasts claws on his back
from his shoulders to his heels.
THE creature is W noo," aid n of
the young men, as the stranger stood
with his hands trying to make what was
left Of his garments meet on his bare
back; "but | doot YOU will need a pair of

Eye uncircumcised wretches!" said the
