A a p Meeting.

r. B. Cunninghame Graham, the au-
thor of those travelling experiences in
the tropics which he calls Thirteen
Stories" says that in his South Amer
lean journeyings he one day rode to
see a village where, report limited,
some valuable old books had been pre-
served. He adds: l got lost and
passed the night in a small clearing
where a fat and handsome roam horse
was tied. On seeing me the animal
broke his picket rope, ran f~uriously
round me for or five times in circles,
and then advancing put his nostrils
close to the nostrils of my horse and
seemed to talk to him. His owner, an
old Paraguayan, told me that the crea-
ture had been with him far into the
interior and for a year had never seen
another horse. But" said he, "God
has given every animal speech after its
kind, and he is glad to see your horse.
No doubt he is asking him the news
During the night I cannot say exactly
what the two horses talked about; but
in the morning my host rode with ms
a league upon the way, and when we
parted, his horse reared once or twice
and plunged. 1t was a farewell.

that was very effective. He poured a
good stiff drink of brandy into a beer
glass, and then filed it with gin In

kindly to the drink, and in a short time
rolled out Of his chair on to the floor
very drunk, and was soon fast asleep
The bag of snakes had not been
th6ughte to this time, but it also
fell, and the Inhabitants quickly spread
over the loor. In the meantime five

BRUSHES OF EXILE FIBRE.
Valuable Plant which crows on Upland
NFaxIco @

Valuable Plant which Grows ON Upinnds
OF Mexico.
For the bristles in the paint and
whitewash brushes America is indebted
to the patient labor of women and
children in their homes in Mexico. The
material OF which these brushes are
largely made is the ixtle, istle, or Tam
pico fibre, from the plant of that name.
America imports more than 5000 tons
Of ixtle fibre a year, a third Of the en-
tire output Of Mexico, and we pay to
our Southern neighbor 1886. 900 for 1T.
The ixtle plant is one of the numerous
maguey family Of plants and grows to
a height Of from IL to 18 feet. It can
be propagated either from seeds or
scions, preferably the latter. The CEN
trail stalk and the seeds and seed pods
are eaten by the Mexicans. This plant
is an exception to most Of the fbre-
producing species, as it grows on the
uplands and never is found Q the
seacoast or in the hot regions Of the
southern part of Mexico. Throughout
the Central and Northern States it
may be found growing wild on the
highland plateaus. The Mexicans use
the fibre for making stout bags and
ropes. The thick, meaty leaves Of the
plant, after cutting, are put into water
and brought to a scalding point. Then
they are placed on a board with a
clamp at one end that holds two or
three leaves, like a letter-clip, and the
pulp is scraped away from the long,
tough fibre with a knife or the rib OF
a horse. This work is done by women
and children.

When Adelina Patti laughs the heart.
Test it is at the recollection of her
frst appearance as Lucia In London.
She was very anxious to dress the
part correctly, SO she studied her Wal
tor Scott, and, finding that Lucia in
the earlier Genes was described as
wearing q scarlet cloak, she discarded
the traditional pearl-gray silk and tar
tan scarf OF the Italian prima donna
and came before her audience In the
Euise Of the original bride. But the
audience had accustomed itself to ira
dition and did not recognize Lucia In
such homely attire. "They didn't know
what l was about" laughs Patti. II

THE GUS

Some Amusing Instances of Ita Awe.
some Influence ON Women.
In the cours OF a recent discussion
CT the antipathy Of most women to
mice. a New York lawyer related a
curious incident. An italian was try
ing. IN a street corner, to sell white
mice, one of which, by way Of attract
ing the attention Of the passers-by, he
allowed to sit upon his hat brim. Two
women noticed the mouse, and
stopped. The owner lifted 1t down
and began to describe its good quail
ties-its tameness, its beauty, Its do
cility-in the hope OF effecting a sale.
In the middle of his discourse the lit
tie creature made a sudden spring, and
alighted upon the arm of n Of the
women. She gazed for a moment with
dilating eyes of horror, and then, with
a loud Shrek, fell in q faint to the
sidewalk. She was carried into the
nearest shop and it was twenty min
utes before she recovered conscious
ness. The curious thing about 1t Is
that a policeman, attracted by the
commotion, recognized her as a daring
criminal, whose portrait was in the
.rogue's gallery, and whose ofenses
against the law had been accompanied
by violence; she had been twice con-
victed of assaults with knife and
pistol. Yet this lawless and dangerous
virago collapsed at contact with a
mouse! Charles Reade, the novelist,
recognized the complete dissertation
between this shudderlng antipathy and
any f%eebleness of will or courage. In
n of his best tales his Scotch hero
Inc, a dauntless flsher-girl, who has
dared the elements all her days, and
has but a moment before braved the
wrath Of a drunken sailor, shrinks ter
rifed from a mouse with a string tied
to its leg, which a small child tried to
show to her. A friend points cut her
inconsistency. "A Gus is an awe
some beast; it's not like a man." ex-
plains Christie, ingenuously. To most
women, and not a few. men, mice are
as our modern outdoor girls continue
still "awesome" beasts. Nevertheless,
to improve their nerve and eliminate
hysteria, the number that scream, faint
or lose their s~elf-control at the sight
Of a scared little gray shadow skit-
tering harmlessly across the floor,
tends steadily to decrease. They may
-.eASe a mouse any better than their
great-grandmothers did; but they do
not like to let a mouse render them RI
diculous.-Youth's Companion.

|fhsyvoes u ! Western Editor,

The lot ora country editor IS
often ahard one especially when
she foolishlY attempts to make
editorial emarks about local to-
pics and persons.
Not many Of them have had 50
harsh ansexperience as that re-
lated IN the story the Detroit
Free Press tells, but many have
had experiences that will be re-
called by it:
was in the newspaper BUSH
ness once myself laughed the
portly party. when I left col
lege I decided that nothing but
journalism would cater to the
strenuous life that l proposed to
lead. In looking over the situa-
ton, / realized that the eastern
field was too cramped for my
swelling ambition So I decided
upon the free and boundless west
as the only spot where my bud
ding genius could properly ex-
pand unhampersd by the conven-
tionalities of the effete east.
"Well, I found a small town in
the west where there was no
paper and proceeded at once to
fill a longfe1t want. Soon after I
had established my great molder
of opinion. a lynching took place,
and l felt that the situation called
for few burning words upon
the subject. The result was a
two-column leader, wherein I
handled the outrage without
gloves. Icannot now recall what
/ said except the end, which read
something like this: Gentle
men, think twice befo-e you again
drag the name Lf our beautiful
and future great city, through
the mud.'
The edition containing myln-
sp.red and burning words was
hardy issued when I had a call
from a delegation of my fellow
citizens.
"'What can lido for you gem
tclmen?' 1 asked, realizing that I
was facing a condition, not a
theory.
We've kim yere,' said the
spokesman, to inform you that

Tho Mule in Hypnotlsm.

Max Carnaveaux, who gives exhibi-
tons Of his power in %hypnotisn, has
decided that in future he will be more
careful in the selection Of his sub.
jects for experiment. One of his fay.
orite tricks was to persuade the man
who submitted to him for test that he
was a mule, and great merriment al
ways followed the mulish antics of the
victim while he was under the hyp-
motto influence. But one day, down in
Lyndon, Kansas, Mr.. Carnaveaux. feel
ing unusually sprightly and jovial, pre-
sumed a little too far on the good ma
ture and geniality Of the mule Pre-; tenn,
and carried4away by the strength Of
hypnotic suggestion, the man unde. the
spell suddenly kicked out with great
violence and struck the hypnotist in
the hand, fracturing one of the homes.
For a few weeks, therefore, there have
been no %hypnotic experiments Of any
Sort. and MI. Carnaveaux has made up
his mind to give UP the mule trick and
rely on animals Of more r%eaceah.e and

The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1902-07-05

Although Winnemucca did not cele-
brate yesterday the town did its full
share as far as assisting other places
in the observance of the day was con-
cerned. For Golconda we furnished u
big crowd of people and also the orator of
the day, Edward A. Quicker. The lat
ter's Grafton was a leading feature of the
celebration and was highly praised by
all who heard it. District Attorney Hood
delivered the grafton at Battle Mountain
and that 1t was a worthy effort goes
without saying. A number of Winne-
mucca people went to Reno to help make
the carnival a success. and others to Car
lin.
Winnemucca was minus fully one-half
its population yesterday and the Fourth
OF course passed very quietly. Flags
floated from the public buildings a num-
bei of the business houses and residences
were decorated with the national colors
and the small boys remaining in town
kept up a fusillade of firecrackers and
other explosives during the day, SO the
nations birthday was not entirely unob-
served here.
Yesterday was the first time in fou
years that Winnemucca has had no cell
ebration. Next Fourth of July the town
will be In line with the biggest celebra-
ton in its history. Golconda will recip-
rocate by sending down a big crowd
of people and so will other towns In the
county. The only thing necessary is that
the proper steps for arranging the cele-
bration be taken In time. Keep In mind
hat next year the eagle will scream its
loudest in Winnemucca and that every
body is invited to be present and take
part in the festivities.
