ceived letter from Judge Cutler con. veylng the happy news that the hounds had been recovered. Judge Cutler writes that they were found in the mountains several miles from where the Oaklanders had been hunt ing by a miner, who had heard them barking for several days. The miner had gone to investigate and found two hounds holding the fort at the base of a large tree into which a bear had climbed for safety from their attack. This was nine days after they had been missed from the hunters camp, and for several days they had re- mained on watch at this particular tree. They were completely exhausted and very nearly starved to death, as was also the bear, which the mircr killed.

A CLEVER CHINEE.
He Draws Keen Comparison of His Religion and Other
 Peoples.

"One of the most brilliant men of my acquaintance is Chinaman," said John B. Galore, of New York, to a Washing ton Post reporter. "He has tea house up in our metropolis, and he is a scholar as well as importer of the leaf. We were talking about the Chinese imbroglio several days ago, and conversation drifted from Boxers and the taking of Peking to the teachings of Confucius He called attention to the fact that mis- sionaries were trying to Christianize native Chinese who cling to religion which has stood the test 5000 years, and had nearly 3oo,0oo,ooo followers, while the Christian religion is scarcely 2,G00 years old with many followers of divided belief.
 "'You Christian believers remind me- he explained, of the Chinaman who stood on the river shore and watched the moon rise over the hill. A ray of sublime light came to him.. It was beautiful His friends were sta toned at other places and he called 10 them to come quick and behold his own beautiful ray of light. They replied that they also followed beautiful rays of light to the same moon. From what ever position they locked they caught a ray equally as beautiful That's the way with religion, and especially yours You are locking at the light of good-. ness, emana ting from <t the Divine source, and each thinks he has monop- oly, like the lone Chinamanw with his one ray of light"

CANINE FAITHFULNEss.
Although CompIctcIy Exhausted Two Game Hounds Kept a, Bear
 Freed Nine Days

The mysterious disappearance4 two valuable hounds owned by A. W Combs. of Oakland, says, the San Fran cisco Chronicle. has been explainedf and the story behind it proves one Q. the most remarkable cases of canine faithfhlness and determination ever recorded. Combs was one of a party of hunters who returned a few days ago from weeks hunting trip in the mountains back of Crescent City, Del Norte, county.
 The party had taken along four hounds, which were missed during the first night in the mountains. They had evidently strayed away during the night, and for the following four days the hunters were without their corri- panions. On the fourth day, however, two of the hounds returned to camp, the two belonging to Combs being finally given up for lost or stolen When the hunters were ready to starr for home they informed Superior Judge Cutler of the mysterious dis appearance of the two hounds and re- quested him to advertise reward for their return in his name.

TREASURES OF AZTEC TIMES.
Valuable Archaeological Objects Found in the CaIIe de las
 EscaIeriI1as,

The work that has been carried onin the Calle de las Escalerillas for the lay ing of the sewer mains has led to i'm portant archaeological discoveries, for, as iss well known, that street, as well as the present cathedral, formed part of the site of the great temple of Huit- zilopochtli, the Aztec god of war.
 The latest discoveries seem. to be the most important of all. Foremost among them are two figures of the god Ehecatl egod of air), the companion of QuetzacoaG. One of these figures is painted red, yellow and black, and in spite of the dampness of the ground where it has lain for centuries, the col CTS have remained fresh and vivid.
 These idols are adorned with disks of gold, which are polished and en- graved in remarkable manner, says the Mexican Herald. The disks are about 20 ceptimeters in diameter and the gold plate is of fair thickness.
 Other objects found at the same time were four ear ornaments of gold. gold jewel case belonging to the god of air, beads, amulets of green stone, axes of sileX small idols of stone, lances of sharp stones, a curious mask of pyrite of iron, knives of large dimen- sions, mask of diorite, censers of earthenware painted in colors and many other figures of stone and cement, the latter being always polychromatic.

Vermont Gains in Population.

Vermont, according to the census report, has gained il .219 in population the past ten years, it's population now being 343,641, as against 2,422 in 1890. It is interesting to note that during this same period the large places-Barre, Bellows Falls, Benning- ton, Burlington. Montpelier and St. Johnsbury-have gained over 15oo8, so the small towns, the rural sections of the state, must have lost quite a few people. This is, however, only what is happening in nearly all the eastern states-the cities are gaining at the expense of the country

 The proposed organization of a state basket ball league by Waterbury par ties is awaited with considerable ill- terest by a number of sport-loving people in this city. Tn speaking about it the other day, one of them asked why it would not be practicable and wise to change the amateur polo league whose game now amuse the patrons of the rink, into basket ball league, and provide basket ball games as the pre- liminary to the main polo contests There is food for reflection in this sug- gestion to the managers. Basket ball is very popular among a large class of amusement lovers. and it is quite prob able that others who are not now fa- miliar with the game would find it every whit as exciting as amateur polo. The same players could be enlisted as now play in the amateur league. and the variety afforded to the patrons of the sport would not only stimulate the interest, but would bring out class of patrons who are not accustomed to attending polo games. The Register has frequently received expressions from admirers of basket ball to the eff feet that that game is entitled to more consideration from promoters of sports and athletics.s-New Haven Register.

Mrs. Boyce's money has come hard. She has washed, sewed, nursed, scrubbed, cleaned and planned to keep souls and bodies together in herself and children and the other day when she baked and told the husband that she was done buying him patent medi- cines, and that thereafter she would expect him to go to work, he consid- cred that she had taken leave of her senses. He stuck to his self-diag- noses, and persisted in ordering his favorite medicines, and as a result Mrs. Royce swore out warrant for his arrest because of nonsupport.
 You wouldn't believe the medi- cine that man has taken" declared Mrs. Boyce to a newspaper corre- spondent. And to see him eat all this time-eight or nine potatoes at a meal and other things in propor- tion. Yet last winter he decided that

SERVED HIM MEALS IN BED.

he was not able to come down stairs to breakfast, and like a ninny 1 served him meals in bed. Hc had kidney disease then and was taking swamp root at S1 cents a bottle. He kept this up until he had taken AS bottles of the medicine. It didn't cure him, of course, because he didn't have anything to be cured He in- sisted on, taking four or five daily papers in order to read up on the medicine advertisements, and when ever he found a new medicine he inn mediately got the disease that it was advertised to cure. He kept this kid ney trouble longer than almost any other of his diseases, taking 12 bot ties of a New York mixture at one dollar bottle.
 Then people began to talk of the grippe. MT. Boyce had cold, so light as to be scarcely noticeabl but he decided that he was suffering from grippe in it's worst form. He bought dozens of bottles of expectorant. At the same time he decided he needed a tonic, and he took 40 bottles
 "He thought catarrh was developing as consequence of the grippe, and bought patent remedies by the dozen bottles. After reading a treatise on consumption he decided his lungs were in danger, so lie took some more ex. pectorant and many bottles of glycerin tonic. Tar tablets-only 37 boxes were given trial.
 Then he started on a new line, as a result of a circular sent to him. He decided he needed vermifuge, and he took 50 bottles. By this time he had the rh H,matism. He bought an cleo tric belt that cost $50 and medicine by the wholesale. The first drug was celery compound, and he rubbed him. self with oil daily. Then he thought his nerves were becoming affected by his many diseases, and he took 40 bot ties of nervura.
 These are some of the expenditures that l have borne with, when all on earth that ails him is that tired feel ing,' which he seems to have been born with and to have been nursing fver since. I'm done buying him med fcines, know, or supporting him, either. When he has to turn out and grub for living, as have been doing for years, he won't have so much time for studying his beloved symptoms n One of Boyce's incidental vagaries E is an objection to having his hair cut. He even insisted that his sous hair should not be sheared, But his wife E held out against that. Boyce's own hair has not been cut for two years.

Rnts in Japan.

There are perhaps in no other country of the world so many rats as in Japan. The wooden buildings with their straw roofs offer the best turk ing places for them. Whilst we use dogs and cats to get rid of the rats, the Japanese employ for the same purpose a certain kind of snake, the "dodaishos,' a blue-green viper. They are sometimes as long as seven feet, and are said to be the best rat catchers tn the world.
