The chief duty OF a Japanese woman
all her life is obedience; while unmar-

her husband and his parents; when

One Way of Making a Living.

There are many and various ways OF
making living il this big city, say
the New York Times, ani between
chasing eighths" in Wall Street and
chasing potato-bugs in Jamaica, the
ways Of gathering dollars are Of wide
range. One Of these seldom seen by
any except the people directly i1ter-
ested is the outgrowth Of recent eXten-
sive waterfront Improvements In the
Navy Yard. Stringers, timbers. and
planking of yellow pine and spilin3 OF
spruce have been used by the scow-
load, and around the corner Of tie
yard, in Little-st., some enterprising
young men have started a woodyaTd.

thing of wood that is found floating in
the Wallabout Channel is taken in

they are, represent good wages for the
work done.

DEATH SPRING.
Water in Nevada to Which Men and
Animals Fall Victims

The death Of Robert Watson, a cat
tie man, after drinking Of the waters
Of Death Spring" in the Rabbit Hole
Mountains, again brings into promi-
nence this terror Of Nevada stockuen.
The spring is situated In Humboldt
County, Nevada. It's waters are so i'm
prernated with arsenic that death re-
suits 70 most creatures that drink from
it. Running from the spring is tiny
stream, clear as crystal, which sinks
into the ground about hundred yards
from the spring. Along the banks Of
this stream are to be found the bones
Of hundreds Of small animals, and even
of deer sheep and cattle that have
drank of the water and died.
Ssockmen have built high fence
about the spring and, so far as is pos
sih,c. have inciosed the stream. 1t
seems impossible. however, to keep
stock from drinking the water. Situa-
ted many miles from any other water
supply, cattle Will get it no matter
what precautions are taken to prevent
them. Hundreds OF head Of stock are
lost each year on account Of it.
Watson had lived in the vicinity for
quarter OF a century and was we'll
aware Of the fatal properties Of the
spring. He WAS out hunting stock when
he became separated from his compan-
ions. He lost his horse and was obliged
to follow them on foot
The second day after his mishap, af-
ter being nearly 60 hours without water
he reached the spring. His thirst was
overpowerinS, and. in his delirium ne
drank of the poisonous water, much
the same as shipwrecked sailors drink
from the ocean when the thirst be-
comes unbcara bic His frards, who
had expected him to overtake them
every hour. had, in the meantime, con-
c.uded that some mishap had occurred,
and turned back to look for him. They
found him shortly after ne had drunk
Of the deadly waters. He was still alive
but suffering the greatest agony. All
that could be done in the desert to re-
lieva him was done, but without avail.
He died within an hour after his COM
panions found him.
\ similar spring IS to be found be-
tween Mountain Meadow and Susan
Vile. Lasse County, Cal. The waters
Of this spring and the stream that runs
from i are green and uninviting, un-
like those OF the Nevada spring in this
respect. The bones Of many deer, cat
tie, sheep and wild animals that have
tasted Of the water Of spring or stream
are to be found in the vicinity. Stock
men have built a seven-board fence
around the spring, and on top Of the
fence have put several lines Of barbed
wire, that stock may be kept from it.

Bird. They became acquainted at
