 LIKE DIAMOND WALLS.
The Beautiful Appearance of the Tn.
 terior of Nevada Cavern.

1he Beautiful Appearance of the Ins
 terior of a Nevada Cavern.
 On the north side of the Osgood range of mountains, about four miles east of Eden creek, there is natural cave of quite large dimensions. It Is in the limestone formation and has the appearance of an old worked-out mine with it's stopes, raises and winzes. It is almost impossible to find the entrance, as it is covered with a growth of underbrush. The first thing that 3 person notices is a small crevice in the rocks, but as he crawls into the crevice on hands and knees he finds that it widens as he goes down. { % fifteen feet from the entrance stand up and walk down
 -aal incline, which is at about C NsG~ees. At a place thirty feet frcal the mouth there is a raise some thirty feet high and a drift forty feet long. The sight which meets the cave seekers gaze at this point is most beautiful. On the ceiling large stalac- tites hang in clusters, and the walls are decorated with crystals of lime in- termingled with drops of water, giving It the appearance of being set with millions of diamonds. Farther down the cave widens until chamber is reached which is over sixty feet across and over fifty feet high. There are numerous other passages or caverns, and on the left there is a passage big enough to admit the body, that opens into a second chamber which is about twenty feet across and ten or fifteen feet high. In the main chamber, some twenty feet high, can be seen the open ing of another chamber, but as there is no timber near to make ladders the upper cavern has not yet been explored. There arc, no doubt, other large chambers which could be found were closer exploration to be made. Stalaetites and stalagmites can be seen in all directions. Water is dropping continually, and the light of candle shining upon these crystals and drops of water gives the cave very en- trancing appearance. This cave is the home of the wood rat, and there are indications that there might be thou sands of the little animals which make this natural wonder their home.-Win- nemucea Silver State.

Heir to s5oo,ooo.

Robert E. M. Cooper, formerly prominent newspaper man and politi- clan, has fallen heir to $50oo00. The estate was left to Cooper by John 0. Crego, miser hermit, who recently died at Cripple Creek. Years ago Crege lived in the Panhandle country of Texas. Cooper made a tour of that region. Crego was not inclined to make aequaintanees, but Cooper found him about to drown in river and risked his own life to save the miser. That resulted in friendship. Cooper returned to Springfield, Mo, and be- came prominent. He kept LID q cor fespondence with Crego for some years but they finally lost track of each other Grego left Texas and was 8 pioneer prospector at Cripple Creek. He cleaned Up $500, 900 and quit. There after he lived in absolute seclusion. So far as he knew Cooper was still iu Springfield. and few days bafore he died he sent for Justice Mastin. and a will was drawn I'D leSsing everything to Cooper.

The latter has just died, and in ac- cordance with the provisions Of his will the precious possession was sent to an auction sale. After examination by ex- perts in the auctioneer's establishment it was knocked down for dollari It was simply a German made fiddle Of the poorest quality The most anus ing thing is that the two possessors of 1t. both father and son, considered 1t much too precious to be played on.

SHE cHoKED A LYNX TO DEATH
Arizona Girls Brave Rattle with Brute
 That Attacked Her.

George J. Manassa of this city. who has been spending the past two months at Kingman, Ariz., tells an interest young girl that came under his obser- yation, says the Kansas City Journal. He said that one day while there a ranchman, J. A. Carrow, brought into the town for medical treatment his son Murray, 6 years old, and his daughter, IF years old. who were frightfully la- cerated by the teeth and claws of some upon the boy in wounds upon the arms, hands and the breast and shoul- ders. Upon inquiry he learned that MT. Carrow was a wealthy ranch owner living about twenty-five miles north of the place and that the two children had been lacerated by lynx that had attacked the boy and had been strangled to death by the girl 'sThe boy" MT. Manassa said, was playing in a swing in an almond or chard near the house, when a fero- cious lynx sprang upon him and pulled him to the ground. A life and death struggle then took place between the little fellow and the animal. Taking the lynx by the ear and one leg he succeeded in throwing it to the ground and holding it there, screaming for help. The lynx was biting his hand in a horrible manner, but with Spartan courage he held on until his sister came. The animal had got the bet ter of the boy when the girl, with only her naked hands as weapons, ,gave battle. She struggled with tie in furiated brute and, although he clawed and bit her, she never released her hold until she had it pinioned to the ground by her knee and a death grip on it's throat.

Dealers ill Germany Are Fined Fifteen
 Eggs for Every Bad One.
 The Germans are practical nation Having realized that by proper organ ization they can keep within the Ger man border the 150 ,000, 600 marks, or say $30,000 GOO, which the people of the empire now pay to foreigners for poul- try and eggs, they have formed a club for the purpose of developing a home poultry business. Egg depots are to be established in the principal cities, notably at Chemnitz, Dresden and Leipzig. The public are to be supplied with eggs, the good quality and fresh ness of which will be absolutely guar anteed. This system will give conf dence to customers and at the same time give poultry raisers more cer- tain and quicker market for their product than they could otherwise se- cure. In order that bad eggs may be traced to their origin, each poultryman is required, before sending his eggs to the depot, to mark them with sign previously determined upon, which will designate them as fresh eggs and denote their source. For each egg sold which proves to be inedibie the pur- chaser is entitled to receive fifteen good ones without charge; and the products of the egg-raiser who deliv- cred the bad egg to the depot are to be excluded therefrom for stated peried.-London Telegraph.

The Celestial Vas Particular and Caused

 The various forms of oath-making, even in this country, are of consider able interest. 1t would not, however, be easy to find an irstance in which anything like so medium of attestation was44sl=4s ed as gull lotlned black coel. But no less an extraordinary meaH.n than that was what the police of a country district In New South Wales had to provide the other day for finical Chinaman, who declined to swear on anything else. Headless fowls were brought, but in vain, and as the matter was impor- tant, even a black swan, a luxury surely for Chinese witness, was sug- gested, only to be immediately refused. After some time had elapsed, and when the representatives of the law seemed quite at their wits end, dead cockatoo of the required hue was strangely discovered in a hut of one of the other celestials, who mu1cted the anxious officials in $2.50 for the bird. Then the solemn and peculiar oath was duly administered, on which the difff- cult witness with bland and childlike expression, declared he knew nothing about the case and sat down smiling!

 Wireless Telephones.

London Correspondence New York World: For some weeks experiments of great interest in wireless telephony as distinguished from wireless teleg- raphy have been carried on near Car nayon by Sir William Pierce. Four high poles have been erected at the south end of Menal straits on a sand bank across the Gwyrfal river. Half mile off four similar poles were erected. Half a mile still farther is a high pole supporting coil of wire, with one end anchored in deep water. Between these points Sir William has succeeded. without any intermediary other than ther, in transmitting the sound of a succession of taps. The taps were made with view to sending messages by the Morse code. They were distinctly heard at the receiving station by placing a newly invented ethereal telephone to the ear. Mes sages were sent without interruption for several days. Further experiments are contemplated. So far the system yields much more rapid results than Marconi's, although the sounds are not quite so distinct

A good story is going the rounds of Simla society just now. It seems that an unfortunate clerk in one of the government offices, with twenty-three years service, recently took leave and oyerstayed his leave by nine days. He was called upon for an explanation, and in the end the secretary ordered him to be q .issed. The clerk there upon appealed to the viceroy, who called for an explanation of the cir cumstances. The secretary showed that the man had not only overstayed his leave for nine days, but was hope lessly incompetent as well. His excel Iency thereupon ordered the man to be reinstated, and wrote across the secre- tary's explanation that he considered the hopelessly incompetent man was the one who had took twenty three years to find out the others incom- petenee
 Department Store Law III Missouri.
 The anti-department store law of Missouri went into effect recently. It imposes license lee or rom $oOU to $500 a year on all classes of goods designated by 1t and sold in any store giving employment to fifteen or more persons. The license commissioner, each city having one, decides whether the fee shall be minimum, maximum or intern ' ate. There are depart ment stores in Missouri that deal in ninety and more different classes of goods. At minimum rate, such stores would be compelled to pay from S27,- 900 year upward in taxes. The small dealers and merchants in single lines of goods will fight for the enforce ment of the law by employing all legal help possible. The department stores will fight the law, striving to prove that it is unconstitutional.

The Old Lady Getting Cav.

There is quite mild excitement just
now at the Bank Of England because
of an innovation at that venerable and
conservative institution. A flagstaff
has actually been placed above the
building, and many are shaking their
heads at the sudden giddiness of the
Old Lady Of Threadneedle Street. The
flag was used for the first time yester.
day, and that, alas! at half mast
Among the younger officials some OBJ
lection has been taken to the pole be-
ing painted white rather than KHAKI

made in all seriousness that numbers
might well be placed on the flagstaff
and the bank rate indicated from time
to time by the height of the flag Oh

PekIn,s DIseolnforts.

1t is a remarkable thing about Pc
kin that, in a city laid out on an enor-
nous plan, with large avenues, high
walls, beautihed by pretty pagodas,
elegant temples, large yamens con-
tanning the Imperial Palace and sa-
cred grounds, so little is done toward
the comfort Of pedestrians, and of peo-
pie riding on mules, horses, camels or
vehicles. The thoroughfares are never
repaired, so that the streets are food
ed soon after it begins to rain. You
cannot walk in the streets at such
times. The only means Of travel then
is the peculiar springless Pekin cart,
by which one gets full of mud and
filth. The mule placed before the cart
has to wade through the fnorass and
the wheels sink deep into the mud
