Oddly Made cuban Eences.

Some odd things happen in Cuba.
A man wishes fence around his yard
or field; he doesn't build it; he
plants it-and it grows, too. First,
he cuts a great bundle of pinon twigs,
then he scratches little trench where
he wants his fence to run, and finally
he sticks in the twigs in row few
inches apart, says the st. Louis Re-
public. The soil Of Cuba is 80 rich
and the weather so warm and moist
that as soon as the twigs take root
they throw out branches and leaves,
and presently there is a dense hedge
of pinon trees inclosing the field.
And there are no nails to drop out here
nor boards to fall down and let in the
cattle, and the fence is good for a
hundred years.

A Wall of Gold Ore.

A unique discovery has been made
by resident in Lead, S. d., who
built a house not long since. 1t was
necessary to build high retaining
wall to support the bank in the front
yard. A person familiar with the
"blue" ore, that is being mined from
the mines north of the city, discov-
cred indications of gold in the rock Of
the retaining wall, and samples were
broken off and assays made. The
rock went as high as 500 ton gold.
The ore in the wall is worth several
thousand dollars. - Correspondence

What "a Young Bride Faces.

Every young woman who becomes
wife at Is to % years of age has II
right to expect 40 years home keep
ing. For 365 days every year, three
times day. there are hungry stom-
achs to be filled and capricious palates
to be gratifed. The blushing bride
at the altar has before her the practi-
cal proposition of preparing 1000
meals. Add to this the bearing
and bringing up of children,
the varied daily duties of the house,
such demands of society as she may
meet, and it is easy to see that the
"bride- elect has herculanear task
with 10 chance of going on strike. -
