One of the attractions of the Paris ex-

vised and painted by VI. Hugo d'Alesi,
the well-known poster artist. After
duly paying his fees the visitor will
pass a gangway and find himself on the
deck Of Il first-class passenger steamer,
with. captain, crew, rigging, smoking
tunnels, and every other detail com

sparkling sea, while behind may be
seen the port of Marseilles fading away

between scylla and Chary ybdis, the

A Narrow Escape.

Nels Pierson and Thomas Sampson,
working together in stope on No.
level in the DeLamar mine, on Wednes
day failed to show up at quitting time.
When their absence was noticed a
search was made in the niue where
they had been working, and a call made
to them elected a response. An alarm
was given and miners came to their
rescue. They had been taking up
ground in an old stope, and it was
found that a.cave had wedged them in,
the old timbers having saved them from
being crushed and buried. Sampson
was foun by the men and gotten out
in few minutes. Pierson was on the
further side of the old timbers, and it
took the men two hours hard work to
reach him. He was lying down in a
cramped position, and could hear the
men working, could feel the timbers
constantly crowding upon him, and
realized that by working in the center
of the cave, as the men we're doing, they
might at any moment bring the caved
rock down upon him. He kept calling
to them to work from the side of the
cave, but, while they could hear his
voice, he could not for some time make
them understand. His condition was
very critical and his sensations must
have been anything but pleasant.
After some time, however, he made the
men understand, and when he got them
to work in the right place it did not
take them long to effect his rescue.
The mine superintendent and shift
bosses in the mine are extremely watch
full of the safety of the men; and moth
ing will insure a miners discharge
sooner than to have him found working
i'll place where he has found or been
warned that it itisansafe, without taking
proper precautions to have the ground
made secure. But with all the precau-
tions taken, danger often, as in this in
stance, turks where it is not sus-
pected. 1t was narrow escape and
the men are to be heartily congratu-
lated that they got off with nothing
worse than the scare and temporary
discomfort.

Doc Harris, besides being dry joker,
is rival of the old man of the NUGGET
for the distinction OF being the most
popular man in the camp with the kids.
At least the aforesaid old man is not
anxious to have all the boys and girls
put that question to vote. Doc &C
knowledges that the light of heaven
first fell upon his infant vision just
half a century ago last Wednesday.
Doc thereupon gave birthday party
on that evening and invited all the girls
and boys on the mountain, who, it is
useless to say were all present. \
whole lot of Docs older friends also
invited themselves Doc was showered
with little keepsake presents from the
children. He had laid in for the occas-
ion big supply of nuts, sweets and
fruits, soft drinks and few bottles of
beer for the older folks, and such a
happy old time as everybody, little and
big, had, none but those who were
present can imagine. May the remain
der of John Doctor Harris days be
many. and all tiuged with that happy
gooi-humor which has brought sun
shine into his surroundings during the
half century he has just passed.

DOGS TATToOED.
An English Method of Marking VAL
liable Animals Adopted in
This Country.

1t has been the practice in London for
ssome time to tattoo dogs. In some
cases it has been done as a means OF
identification; in others it is just mere
fad for the ostentatious show of n newly
acquired crest or coat of arms, says the
New York. Herald.
The most sensible reason for such q
fad seems to be for Identification in
case of theft or loss. Certain breeders
have certain private marks by which
they can identify dogs of a particular
family. These marks are kept close
track of, and the age and pedigree of
the dog can be settled at once by re-
ferring to the records.
Dog tattooing is now done in this city.
A well-known fancier has tattooed
dogs for the Astors, the Vanderbilts,
Mr.. Whitney, Mr.. Gould and other men
who own valuable dogs.
'The plain markings, such as crosses,
double X and private Marks" he said,
"are not done by tattooing, but with a
long, fine needle, such as milliners use,
and fine thread dipped in Indian ink.
This needle is run under the skin in
long gstitches, the thread pulled through
and left there for some little time, and
then pulled out again, leaving the stain
of the ink under the skin, and that stain
can never be destroyed.
Dogs are mostly marked right in the
bend of the fore or hind leg, where there
is no hair and the skin is very tender.
Sometimes it is done in the ears.
perhaps you did not know that high
priced fowls are tattooed and marked
for pedigree Identification? Well, near
ly every game chicken has some special
mark upon it, and anyone at all familiar
with the raising of game fowls owns
book which gives all the private mark
snSs of valuable Species"

HOW TO EXPLORE.
Some of the Little Things That Tell
the GeoIoGist the History of
the Country.

An explorer in new country makes
most wonderful discoveries by observ-
ing very small facts.
He comes to the mouth of a river. II
the water is milk-white he knows that
il comes from glacier direct, yet he
may see the glacier-bearing mountains
and find the water quite clear. That
means that the river has a lake in its
course which has filtered the water and
taken out all the mud.
If the river is muddy red it comes
from a country of clay; if it is clear
brown it comes from swamp or forest.
If the water is "hard" when he washes
his hand that means country of lime
stone.
BY the gravel he knows the exact
rocks which are drained by the river.
Speckled rocks, such as granite. tell
story of probable mountain ranges,
even if none are in sight; and by the
speckles the explorer can tell whether
the mountain is brand new and Jagged
or old and worn
By the pebbles it is quite easy. with
little practice, TO read off the history
of country, TO guess at IT'S age. fllhts
mean a chalk formation ironsand is
the best possible indication of gold;
lavas and basalts mean volcanic action.
Terraces along the coast mean that
it is rising by jumps, as may be seen in
Norway and Chilli.
Where the rivers cut deep between
sheer walls on their course from the
Al. lnt n
there is no rainfall. Modern shells on
top of high mountains mean that the
range has only recently been lifted out
of the sea.
Hummocky mountains or plains are
sure to be made of granite; caves are
nearly always in limestone; sink holes
mean water RUNNING beneath.-Stray
Stories.
The DeLamar nugget. [volume] (DeLamar, Idaho) 1891-1900, 1899-08-18

The trainers of the new law in regard
to the census seemed determined to
make the census hateful to women. They
made it compulsory on women to give
their correct age to the census taker.
The law says: "Women who refuse to
tell their age or indulge in inaccurate
statements thereof, as we'll as all other
persons refuing to reply toquestions or
making false statements shall, on con-
viction, be fined $780," Now, the ques-
tion arises, how is the enumerator to
know whether q woman is giving an in
accurate statement of her age? He can
not examine her teeth, after the fashion
of horse-dealers. He will not dare to
