I wish, also, to say that Sheriff Roberts treated me with the utmost considera- tio and like perfect gentleman and l came with him gladly as l felt no fear for the consequences.

IkpESIH TONS A FARCE.

There is a =. mess about territorial legislatures winch makes one weary with their monptcuy. The first thing on the legisla. i've programme is for members to draw their mileage. The next thing is to get a rake off from the treasury through an appropria- tion, to pay thc pense of junketing trips of memb ITS to the various public institutions ci ne territory. Just why these jul .leting trips are kept up year after y, Il, O one seems to know, except on tho cory that it has been the custom l. the past, and each leg islature sec to think it must follow the prec slt of the preceding ones. No one C-er yet heard of any good coming from the visits of these so called investigating committees. The public institutions are always found, or a; least always reported, being run just as they should be. These inves- tigations cost from S1. 300 to g, 600. if the time of the legislators and clerks are figured in as being of any value
 Business is closed entirely for from three to five days and an appropri- ation of several hundred dollars is all ways made to cover the expenses.
 It will be refreshing when a Iegis- lature meets that will proceed to business and let the territorial insti- tutions take care of themselves or if they need investigating enact a law providing for their investigation by some official who will investigate. Every one knows that the present sys- tenn of investigating is a farce, as the time occupied precludes the possibil- ity of an examination that would re- suit in anything beneficial to the ter ritory. It is simply waste of terri torial money, and waste of time and energy on the part of legislators.

A Metaphysical Student Sacrifices His
 Life in Wierd Experiment.
 A telegram from Paris says: In an effort to prove that the soul can leave the body and return to it, Albert Guelle, a man of superior intellect, lost his life, a victim of one of the strangest experiments in history. h. dependence of the mind in dreams caused him to conclude that person ality is dual and he resolved on an experiment that should free his body for time.
 His experiment was based on the feats of fakirs in India, who have themselves buried alive, maintaining their body in a lethargic state while their minds are supposed to journey in the astral world. He constructed an apparatus consisting of a reservoi, fixed to a wall, which would let a mixture of chloroform, sulphuric ether and water fall, drop by dropr on his face. Then. choosing his birth- day for the experiment, he wro @ his will and a letter to a friend lie placed himself on bed beneath the apparatus, having anointed his body with antiseptics that modification should not set in while his soul was absent. He was found dead.

HE CHANGED HIS MIND.

Some of the members of the lower house are willy, and the moves made by them are almost quick enough to deceive the eye. During the recess yesterday after the members of the committees had been appointed by the speaker to visit the different ter ritorial institutions, there was a ser ies of quick whisperings and raising of eyebrows among a group of lady clerks. As the homes of some of them are at places which will be wis ited by the committees, and adjourn ment is for a number of days, it ap- pears that a number were anxious to spend the period at home, but were also anxious that the territory should ''pay the fare. ' ''Oh, Mir. -" said one of them, looking up into the face of a member who is to visit one of the southern institutions, with her large, pleading eyes, Don't you think that your committee will need the services of a clerk, during its in vestigation!" Certainly, certainly, certainly" replied the member em- phatically. "You seer continued the fair supplicant, "my husband will meet me at the train and I will be no care whatever to you.'' Here is where the foxy ex-speaker executed a lightning change of front "Em- er'' he stammered, edging off ''I will talk the matter over with the other members, and perhaps we can arrange it.

opnls of variou. perree..

There are several varieties of opals
and therefore several degrees Of merit.
The precious or noble or oriental opal
Is the supreme. This has all the col
ors, and when these colors are broken
into spangles it is then called the
harlequin opal. Then comes the fire
opal, or girasole, with hyacinth red
and yellow reflection. The former
comes from Hungary and the latter
from Mexico. The common, or semi
opals. are nonopalescent. The hydro
phane, or oculus mundi, is nontrans-
parent, but becomes SO by immersion
in water or any transparent fluid. The
cachalong is nearly Opaque and of n
blush white color. The hyalite is
eolorless, pellucld and white. The opal
Jasper, or wood opal, is the petrlfaction
Of wood, opalescent, but without the
coloring which makes the mobile" gem
SO precious.

Getting Rid of the Acid.

An exploring expedition in remote
part Of China had queer experience,
which one of the party thus relates: "a
large bottle of carbolic acid had been
broken inside its wooden case. We ex-
hausted our ingenuity in hopeless eff
fort to unscrew the cover. We feared
to carry 1t farther, as the burning tears
distilled by it destroyed everything
they touched. We dared not throw it
aside lest the unsophisticated heather
should drink 1t as cheering or me-
dicinal beverage. We had no time to
wait aud empty 1t, as the fatal fluid
would only trickle drop by drop through
a cllini which had been cautiously
and laboriously excavated with a blunt
hunting knife. What We're we to do?
Degrading as the confession must ap-
pear. we had to deposit the torpedo in
the middle of the yard and throw
bricks at 1t until it was smashed"

nary whose owner and teacher, the
wife Of the German proprietor, re-
fused an offer of $500 for 1t. Sometimes
as one entered the place there came
from a corner in the rear liquid peal
Of music so sweet and high and clear
that it sounded like piccolo without
the metallic shrlllness Of that instru-
ment. In n small wicker cage black
and yellow canary waltzed round and
round, never quiet, and rs 1t danced 1t
sang the air Of "Lauterbacl" from be-
ginning to end without a false guam
tity, without missing or changing
note. When the solo was finished the
bird whisked up to its perch, trilled an

ody again, breaking off in the middle,
warbling little In self willed fashion
and then finishing the air. 1t was
