In front of the home, just west of Mesa runs the Cuber lateral, which at this time is running full of water and Is pretty swift. Mrs. Smith had been vls- iting during the day and on returning home she left the little one for few moments in the front yard while she fed the chickens at the back of the lot. returning in a few moments she could find her darling nowhere. Thinking 1t had run over to Mrs Griffin's she rushed over there. but the child had not been seen. Fearing it had fallen in the ditch, a search was made and A. nally the child was found by Edgar Griffin about 100 yards down the ditch, where 1t had lodged against a sand bar. He gathered it up and it was taken to the house. Dr. Hawley and other assistance was summoned, but It had breathed it's last It's little body had not filled with water, but 1t had evidently died of strangulation, having passed through a long culvert, possibly being rendered unconscious by striking the sides. Tho mothers grief was heart-rending, and everything possi- ble was done for the child, but to no purpose. The funeral was he'd in the tabernacle at p. m. yesterday. The heartfelt coincidence of the entire com munity is poured out on the bereayed ones for the loss of their darling.

 Tt occurred to an alchemst one day that 1t would be fine thing to take sulphur. saltpeter and dried toais. pound them all to a powder and sub lime them together in an alembic, which he carefully luted and set on the furnace to heat He poked up the fire and waited around, thinking what he wJuld do with all his money if this should turn out to be the powder of re- duction that would turn base metals into gold, when bang. went the alembic and the windows blew out and the door ripped off it's hinges and fell down. blam. The alchemist scuffeled out from under the ruins of the furnace. shook a red-hot ccal CT TWO. from his shoe and the ashes off himself, and wondered what had struck him. He tried it again and again. and each time with the same result, and then 1t dawned upon him that he had dscov- cred fair article of blasting powder. Since then about all that mas been done article of charcoal. say that of willow twigs instead of toasted toads.
 Little did the old alchemist dream what potency was in that powder of reduction For such 1t is. Although it never yet has turned leaf into gold by its mere touch. yet when small. round piece of lead is put with the powder r,o small round tube of curious workmanship, and fire laid thereto, it Is possible to convert another mans gold into the possession of him that has the iron tube of curious workmanship,
