Some time ago II. e. Hoffman, act
log as agent for w. B. Duffy made ar
engagements with a Santa lie surveyor
named White to survey some OF the
claims at Pyramid for patent. Mr..
White came over here from Silver
City, where he had been doing some
work, to look the job over. He re-
burned to Santa Fe, and before he got
ready to do the work the house at
Pyramid was burned, and all the
papers concerning the titles to the
various mines It was intended to
patent, so the work could not be done.
Mr.. Hoffman wrote to MI. White ex.
planning the matter and Offering to
pay the expenses he incurred in bis
trip over here. White sent in the bill
and among Others expenses charged up
was twelve dollars for railroad fare
between Deming and Lordsburg. AS
the price of a ticket from Deming to
Lordsburg 10 only three dollars Mr..
thought the expense account
was pretty high. He returned the
bill for correction. The next thing he
heard of the matter was a suit against
Mr. Duffy for the amount White
to receive for doing the work,
he had not done. Deputy
Sheriff johnson came ever from Silver
City and attached the mill and other
property at Pyramid owned by Mr..
Duffy and now has charge Of it. 1t is
probable there will be an interesting
little suit over the matter before the
is settled.

METHODS HERE AND A-nOA1
Ways of Steering Goats in i'uaytunG
 France and Gernlhn,.


 A comparison of tne different meth. ods of doing what is practically the same thing ID various parts of the N orld is both interesting and amusing to the thoughtful observer. says CaSsier's Magazine. On American feTryDoatS the import is well known of the "tiug-tug or 'jingle-jngle" of the bell by winch the man in the wheelh0use commuui- cates with his fellow mortal in the en- zine room. On the Thames, however, it would be considered practically i'm possible to convey information in this manner, and the captains Of the small paddle steamers on that stream stand on the paddle boxes and sing ont: Ease 'er!" Back 'er." etc, apparently to nobody in particular, while these in- terestin@ remarks are promptly repeat ed in shrill tones by small boy into speaking tube which communicates with the lower regions. On the Seine, in France, this process is simplified and q large trumpet-shaped mouth piece flares out in front of the man at the wheel. and he yells his commands into this funnel, the other end of which is supposed to reach the engineer. The large steamers on the Rhine, in Ger many, are controlled, not by the usual wheel placed in the wheelhouse for ward, but by very large wheel on a vertical axis, placed right amidships upon an elevated platform or bridge, and several men pass the handles from right to left, or upon occasion trot round in a circle, and it would doubt less be considered a serious temptation of Providence. or at least re- fection upon the fatherland. if anyone were to attempt to construct Rhine steamer with the ordinary form of steering gear.

A PLUCKY LITTLE PIGEON.

NanSen Owns aud Cherishes One of
 the Wonders of the World.
 One day a wonderful bird tapped at the window of Mrs. Nansen's home at Christania. Instantly the window was Arctic explorer in another moment cov- cred the little messenger with kisses and caresses. The carrier pigeon had been away from the cottage 30 long months. but it had not forgotten the way home. It brought note from Nansen stating that all was going well with him and his expedition in the polar regions.
 Nausen had fastened a message to a carrier pigeon and turned the bird loose. The frail courier clarted out into the bliZZardy air. It flew like an arrow over a thousand miles of frozen waste, and then sped forward over another thousand miles of ocean and plains and forests. and one morning entered the window of he waiting mistress and de- livered the message which she had been awaiting so anXiously.
 We boast Of human pluck, says the New York Mail and Express, sagacity and endurance, but this loving little carrier pigeon, in it's homeward flight after an absence of 20 months, accom- plished feat so wonderful that we can only give ourselves up to the amaze ment and admiration which must over whelm everyone when the marvellous story is told, Mrs. Nansen's pigeon is ope of the wonders of the world.

iNFAL-llBLE SCIENCE.

Figures for Once This Professor Had
 to Admit Were Wrong.
 Occasionally science must admit fail- ure. One Dighta young man in Divinity hall at Yale undertook with a toy rifle to hit lamp. But his aim was poor and the hall passed through the window of an eminent and venerable professor of science and embedded itself in the wall
 This was the opportunity for the pro- lessor and for science. says the Hartford Courant. He set to work and computed the curve, and with the exact skill of in- fallible figures he traced the ball right back to the room of an innocent col. league who didn't even know the rifle had been fired.
 The unAedged minister fatIv denied all knowledge of the affair. But men, even ministers, have been known to make denals in self-defense, and the professor had the proof with him. There was the bullet, there were the marks of it's course, and there was the computation worked out. It looked as if a pulpit career was to be nipped in the bud.
 But the guilty student heard what was going on. He called on the pro- lessor. confessed the offense, pointed out that the man of science was 2G0 feet out in his computation, and advised that the matter be dropped right where it was
 And that was done.

 Quiet I1nissish Village.
 An old ceremony which links the pres cnt with an epoch a% nearly distant as the Norman conquest has been duly ob- served in the quiet village ot Eitldenden, in Kent, near Ashford LnglAnd Easter was celebrated by the distributing by the vicar and church wardens of cakes of gingerbread among visitors to the place, while Che residents were regaled with hunks of bread and cheese For nearly 600 years these doles or gifts have been dispensed, although now all idea of charity has practically disap- peared and the distribution is used more for an occasion of cOnviviality and ale drinking than for the pious commemorate of the two maids of Biddenden who founded the feast. These ladies were Eliza and Mary Chulkhurst, who lived at the beginning of the twelfth century and were joined together like the Siamese twins. One died a day after the other, and they left bit of land, of which the rental is about 5000 d year. to perpctuate fund for the distribution of bread and cheese at Easter. The doles are all stamped with likeness of the two maids, with their names and the dates of their birth and demise. Many peo- pie go to Biddenden for the express purpose of getting a cake and preserv- ing 1t as a curiosity,
