Story of n wild Ror.

The story of Peter, the wild boy.'' is told on the brass erected to his mem- ofy In the parish church of North church, Hertfordshire, England. The celebrated Doctor Arbuthnot made a special study of Peter, but failed to make anything of him, and, when the novelty of his appearance had worn off and he had been induced to wear the garb of civilization, he was pen- stoned off and sent to the village of Northehurch. But he retained his yag- abond habits and gave his guardian much trouble by wandering off to dis tant counties. As he could not speak or make himself understood of stran- gers, this propensity for straying brought him into trouble, and he was sometimes arrested as an obstinate began who would not give an account of himself. Thus it was that a brass collar, engraved with his name and address, was fitted to his neck. He is said to have been fond of music. and he used to dance to express his delight at the sound of musical instruments. His tombstone is still standing near the doorway of Northchurch church. When he died he was 72 years old.

salted the Giant Powder.

If you never had mine salted on you" remarked an old-time Colorado miner recently, you have missed half of your chance to get good expe- rience."
 Did you ever have 1t happen to your" asked the stranger from the East.
 Yes, my very first lesson cost me $5,OOO, when I bought mine in Lead vile that had been tunnelled into the mountain side for nearly 200 feet. I had heard of the trick of salting prop critics, so after the man showed me what there was in sight he invited me to go right ahead and blast out several feet in order to satisfy myself, which did, and the ore seemed to be just as good as it was when he was working it. Of course I bought it, and then it never paid a cent-it was salted."
 But how could they salt three or four feet into the solid rock?"
 There was the trick of it. They didn't salt the rock, but put gold colors into the giant powder, and as long as that lasted there was gold in sight"

American stones.

American precious stones are Of moro importance than is generally known to those not connected with the trade. The Maine tourmalines are unequaled Tn color, the 1ithia emerald of North Carolina has never been found in any other country, and the beryls of Con- necticut are of a fine golden yellow. California chrysophrase resembles the apple green Chinese jadeite, beauti- ful rose quartz comes from South Da- kota and large quantity of rough Montana sapphires is sent to London to be cut. The main part of the worlds supply of turquoises is obtained in New Mexico. No doubt the new possessions will add to the American production of gems, a business as yet in it's infancy.

Ancient war Songs.

Julius Caesar had his men sing songs of triumph after victory and some of the verses are in existence to-day. Edward l. had the Welsh bards put to death because he thought they melted the soldiers to battle. In Spain many traces of Roman war songs are to be found. Spanish and Portuguese war songs were called romancers. The Cid, written in the twelfth century, has al- ways been the martial Inspiration of the Spaniards. What the Cid is to Spain the Roland is to France. The 'Chanson De Roland" has been sung since the eleventh century, and has l,500 verses.

TRAITS OF THE CAT.
some Points Which Prove It to be soIi-
 tary Animal

Some Points Which Prove It to be soIi-
 tary Animal.
 All the cats habits show it to be by nature a solitary animal. Even in early life, when family ties bring out the instinct of association, this Is ap- parent. If you compare the play of puppies with that of kitten you will ind in one case that companionship of some kind is essential, for if a puppy has no playmate of his own species he VIII always try to make one of the nearest biped; whereas a cork or a bit of string is all that is necessary to sat- isfy the requirements fthe kitten. The way in which the cat takes its food is sure sign that in it's natural state 1t is not in the habit of assoeiating with greedy companions.
 When given something to eat it first carefully smells the morsel, then takes It in deliberate and gingerly way, and sits down to finish it at leisure. There is none of that inclination to snatch hastily at any food held before It which we observe even in well train ed dogs, nor does a cat seem in any hurry to stow it's goods in the one place where thieving rivals cannot interfere With them. Indeed, no greater contrast Tn natural table manners can be ob- served anywhere than when we. turn from the kennel or the pigsty and watch the dainty way in which a cat takes it's meals. That a cat allows peo- pie to approach it while feeding with out showing jealousy proves that it does not attribute to human beings like tastes with it's own.

Down Somewhere.

A Maine reason why so many people, are killed by hunters in the Moosehead lake region is that the modern rife carries it's ball mile or more, so that. when hunter misses the game at which he aims, or thinks he aims, there is no telling where the missile will land. If things keep going from bad to worse in that. respect, the pine tree state legislature will have to enact a law requiring sportsmen when they fire "a point their weapons toward the ze- nth. That will be the upshot of the matter.
