in Mr. Kiplings story, THE End of the Pas
sage and in applying the discovery to the
detection of crime the authors of this book sug-
gest, too, that they have paid some attention to
the writings of Poe But be it said to their

this Note viii not be considered as Jessening the
value Of this sweet delightful book" Coeridge

perceives, that a few errors-due in most cases
to the limitations of science in the eighteenth
century-leave untouched the servicea bIeness. as
they leave undimmed the subtle beauty. Of this
sweet delightful book" Mr. Allen labored in the
same reverent spirit His notes offer a certain
number of corrections which only serve TO
strengthen the text without IL the least chang
ing its essential drift. He felt that White was
first and last '1ovable." and he did nothing to
rob the reader Of the same conviction.
White is IovabIe because while he pours a food
of light upon the secrets Of nature, and brings
winged and four footed creatures, flowers and
trees with countless elusive phenomena Of the
visible world clearly before our eyes. he envelops
every theme with a peculiar tenderness. He is
the only writer who ever lived who could enter
q barn in which a dead moose was hanging
measure il despite the abominable odors of pu-
trefaction and write about it in such a way that
all the repulsive elements in the subject would
somehow recede into the background, leaving
only the traits Of living animal to be remem-
bered. He wrote such good English that scarce
ly anything in him fairly be described as
quaint, yet he has a flavor akin TO quaintness;
a tone. a repose, an Old fashioned dignity and
simplicity, which, along with quite different
things, you find in writers like Montaigne or

ledge thai is far more important than
any other strike that has been made
in the county for years. A ton of ore
was brought IN yesterday n sold to
one OF the sampling works. 1t gave a
return Of twenty-one ounce In gold.
An assay taken on the ledge, which IL
plainly traceable a mile, $500 feet from
where this ore was mined. gave forty
seven ounces In gold. The high grade
streak is a foot wide, and a sample
from eight feet gave $22. The ledge

many places the groupings are twenty
feet above ground. The strike is on
the east slope of the river range across

4 HORRIBLE PUNISHMENT.
The Way Maya Indians Treat Disreput-
able white Men.

A mining man from the state OF ST.
naloa, Mexico, tells this story in de-
tail OF a horrible punishment inflicted
on a prospector named Wilson by Maya
Indians. says the El Paso Daily News.
Wilson frequently visited the villages
and finally won the affections OF a
handsome young girl Instead Of mar
rying the girl according to the rites
OF her tribe. he Is said 20 have decoyed
her to his camp In the mountains and
kept her there against her will. She
finally escaped TO tell the story and
Wilson fled. He was overtaken and
carried back. As a punishment for his
crime 1t was ordered hat he be put
TO death by n method common with
the Mayas. The prospector was strip
ped OF his clothing and bound across
an ant hill infest by large red ants.
After many hours OF horrible suffering
as the insects slowly gnawed away
his flesh, Wilson expired. Wilson was
reputed to be from Oklahoma.
