W of Fishes.

Tropical countries where violent
storms, sudden gusts of wind and whirl-
winds are most common, often expert
ence showers of fishes. Fish varying
in weight from a pound and a half to
three pounds have been known to fall
in India. Sometimes they are living,
but more frequently they are dead and
putrefying. They are always of kinds
abundant in the sea or fresh waters
of the neighborhood; and there can be
but little doubt that they are carried
up in the air by violent winds, although
they sometimes fall at a considerable
distance from any water which could
supply them. There have been in
stances where falls of fishes have taken
place in countries not tropical. A
shower of small, three-spined stickle-
backs fell near Merthyr-TydvIl, in
Wales, sprinkling the ground and
housetops over an area of at least sew
eral square miles, some years ago.
They were alive when they fell, yet If
caught up by a whirlwind from any
of the brackish ponds near the sea in
which this species abounds, they must
have been conveyed through the air a
distance of almost thirty miles. At
Torrens, in the Isle of Null, another
similar instance occurred, in which
behring's were found strewed on a hill
five hundred yards from the sea, and
one hundred feet above.

Nome City, Alaska, Where Men Have Been Digging
The Valuable Stuff Out Of the Beach.

Reports of rich findings of gold at
Cape Nome, Alaska, have been of I'M
usual interest in and around Boston,
because among the residents of Nome
City are a number OF men whose
homes are in or near Boston. SAYS a
writer in the New England Home Mag
azine.
Nome City is on Norton sound. about
go miles northwest of the mouth of the
Yukon river. There are a number of
rich claims along the creeks a short
distance inland, but the most remark
able phase of Nome City mining is
the beach digging. Gold is found in
rich quantities in the sand which lines
the shore.
Gold in the Beach.
For miles to the west of Cape Nome
the beach runs straight away in a
strip of tide land, varying from forty
TO sixty feet in width between high
and low water mark, extending up to
the tundra" or black a"lluvial soil.
which is from three to five feet higher
than the beach proper.
All of this tundra and all the terri
tory along the creeks and rivers east
and west for thirty or forty miles and
back into the mountains for ten or
twelve miles had been staked. but on
the long strip of tide lands nc man
had a better claim than another, or
could have, under the tide-land laws.
n here the grand army of gold seek
ers camped and in very short order
had converted the barren strand into
a site of tremendous and enthusiastic
industry. At the same time business
of all kinds began to respond to the
boom from the beach. and the usual
collection of gambling hells, saloons
n dance halls went into operation.
A few weeks ago it was estimated that
1,0OO or ] 200 miners we're at work on
the beach, extending west for twenty
miles. All these work with rockers.
n they occupy just as much territory
to the mar or group as can work it.
1t is not unusual for one small square
bit of beach to pan out $40 to SIS an
hour, but, of course, the space is soon
exhausted and the lucky digger must
move to another spot.

To Beautify the Complexion.

For the complexion and general
health. drink slowly half an hour be-
fore breakfast one large tumbler of wa
ter as hot as you can swallow, and
cnce a week instead a tumbler of cold
water in which a teaspoonful of COM
mon salt has been dissolved. This Is
better for the complexion than any
cosmetic. Another recipe is the juice
OF half a lemon, pint Of warm water
and one ounce OF rose water.

PREPARING FOR WAR.
Conquest Is Likely in Mexico
Buying Saddle Horses.

Omaha, Neb., Oct. ga special
from Cheyenne, Wyo., says:
Senior Manuel Alvarez, an agent of
the Mexican government, came here
about two weeks ago and since that
time has purchased and shipped sew
eral car loads of saddle horses to the
City of Mexico. From words drop
ped now and then from Senior Al
varez the Mexican government is pre-
pairing for war; either rebellion or a
war of conquest. Alvarez will say
nothing as to his real purpose in buy
ing so many horses, but it is a sig
nificant fact that he purchases only
the very best saddle horses. The
prices paid are in some cases fancy,
and Senior Alvarez seems TO have plen-
ty of money. Ee does say that he
was directed to this section because
of the reputation made by Wyoming
and Colorado horses in the late war
with Spain. He says he wants only
the very best animals.
