The Gnn.Ight Mine.

The pitiful story OF Death Valley
victims In 1854 II connected with the
Gunsight mine narrative:
Slxty-twO emigrants 10 the gold fields

I'm the summer OF 1884. were trying to
find southern passage through the
Sierras TO California. They were per.
suadcd at Salt Lake City TO follow
what was known az the Southern
route. In preference to the more fre.
quented one farther north The new
route took them through Southern
Utah, across the Colorado River and
into the terrible and then little known
Colorado desert. In n few days they
reached the dreary waste Of Death
Valley.

the survivors scant stores were ex-

Within "A month the party was reduced
10 four men. There was no chance for
retreat and. though dying by inches
the survivors pressed on toward the

One night while camping near n
rocky ledge George Dennis discovered
that the sight on the muzZle Of his

Here the gunsght which the anna.

miner who at once pronounced IL pure
native silver and eagerly inquired
where II had been found. Dennis told
how IL had come into his possession,
but could give only n scanty informa-
tion as to the locality of the ledge from
which II had been taken. A care

A prospecting party was at once or.

P.i,inr nr,a.. with Flowers.

The custom OF shOwering bridal cou-
pies with rice is as old as the mOnu-
mental hills. IL is sometimes attend
ed with disagreed bic results. but is
still persisted In an most matrimonial
functions. An Improvement upon this
custom which seems likely and ought
10 become popular. was observed az q
pretty wedding celebrated at Lake
Geneva. Wis. just before the close OF
the outing season. The plaZzGs and
lawns OF the brides home were beau
tifully decorated with hydTangeas.
which the extensive gardens furnished
In unusual profusion. The altar ar
ranged az one end OF the parlor was
beautifully decorated and powered
with the same blooms. mingled with
ferns and evergreens Bunches OF the
blossoms stood IN large jars and vases
in the spacious hall and banked the
great fireplace. When the newly wed
ded pair started away In the late af-
ternoOn the guests lined the way from
the house TO the entrance gate OF the
grounds, every one provided with
bygrandeas, and through this lane OF
pelting flowers the bridal carriage was
driven. 1t was poetic and pictur-

Preventing Typhoid Fever.

Among the chief ways of preventing
typhoid fever must be mentioned the
care OF the stomach itself II seems
highly probable that the natural juices
Of the healthy stomach are able to de-
stroy many germs Of disease: but the
number which any stomach may be
able TO digest and thus render its
owner safe from attack. must always
be uncertain. and IL is not desirable
to test its capacity in this direction.
The fact that only certain persons
out OF a number who have pa-take1
OF food or drink infected with disease
germs may suffer is explainable en-
the ground OF their different general
physical condition. or of The varying
states OF their digestive organs.
Boiling or cooking in any form dc
stroys all germ life; and food or drink
about which there is n question OF
typhoid infection should be subjected
TO one of these processes before IL is
taken into the stomach.-Youth's Com
panion.
