An Old Hunters Advice.

Here is the advice all old hunter
gives TO those who may come in un-
expected contact with bad animals:
IF YOU are corncrCi by a snake
stand motionlcss ana he will never
bite
IF Il vicious dog attacks you show
him knife or some similar instru-
ment, and he will keep out of reach.
A dog can never learn the deadliness
of revolver or II gun but unless he
has the rabies he knows how TO re-
spect n knife.
IF swarm of wild bees attacks you
stand motionless and let out all your
breath. Then only few of the swarm
will sting"
This advice should be reversed at
sea. A man who is swimming in shark
infested waters is safe as long as he
kicks about and makes great deal of
noise. The shark is too timid to ap-
proach anything that looks as If 1t
meant to fight.
What would you do in case you
were cornered by n cinnamon bear?"
some one asked the old hunter.
Say my prayers" he answered la
conically.

There is Il tree in the West Indies
that the natives say grows dishesw
1t looks like an apple tree. They call it
the calabash. 1t bears very queer
leaves and large white blossoms that
grow right from the trunk and larger
branches. After the flower comes the
fruit, just as our apples or peaches do.
But this fruit is in the shape of a
gourd only stronger and much larger.
sometimes foot in diameter. Now, see
what use the people of that country
make of this fruit. The shell is so hard
that all sorts of big and little dishes
and drinking cups can be carved out of
it. Even pots and kettles are made and
used over the fire, but of course they
cannot last rs long as our iron ones.

They All Saw 1t Move.

Mrs. Burton, with her husband, Sir
Richard Burton, the famous traveller,
and two ladies, had driven out of
Triest to a village dance and were sit
ting in the carriage listening to the
band. In telling of it she said:
Suddenly, ut the top of roof, |
caught sight of rat, which appeared
to me to be spellbound by the music.
Look" l said. Don't move, but
watch that rat fascinated by the mu-
Sic"
SO we all sat and watched it and
thought it most interesting that rats
should be susceptible to music like liz
ards and snakes.
We all saw it move. We all saw it's
head turn ana its tail move, and we
kept STILL not to frightcn it away. The
next day. feeling so much interested in
the affair, we sent TO inquire about it.
The rat, it turned out, was made OF
painted tin and fixed to the top of the
house. So much for Imagination.

Pence and Homes

A writer in London newspaper
says: "The other day | heard an Eng
lishman defending our system of coin
age on the ground that we are the only
nation on earth who can say that the
system is bone of our bone. For there
are 24O bones in the body and 24O
pence in the pound there are 100 bones
In the head and trunk and 120 in the
limbs and 12O pence in half Il sover-
eign; each limb contains 80 bones, and
half crown contains 30 pence; in the
spinal column there are 81 bones and
in florin 24 pence, and as we have
II ribs on each side, so we have 10
pence in every shilling. See how the
proportions of the skeleton of our COM
merce conform TO natures teaching.
No wonder it is vigorous"

The Veil In Persin,

j. ID. Rees, Il lecturer on PeT3ia, says
that the wells worn by Persian ladies
are more of privilege than punish
ment Screened behind it woman may
walk wherever she pleases, and even
her own husband dare not question her
movements. Doubtless many Persian
ladies' make the most of their opportu-
mites. The Persians, rs rule, do not
think it right to take wine, but as near
ly all their poetry is in praise of the
flowing bowl it will be inferred that
they frequently do violence to their
conscience. Occasionally, however, they
are seized with remorse, whereupon
they destroy the wine of their Arme-
nian neighborS.

Thieves md Rihlea

Bibles are said by detectives to be
more rarely stolen than any other OBJ
jects. This is not because Bibles are
worthless to a thief, but because few
criminals are sufficiently depravcd 10

recently that in an important case
which he had followed up some years
ago thief had entered the house,
stolen some valuable jewels and left
untouched u Bible bound in white
chicken skin and studded with pearls.
The detective caught the thief, and the
man who had been robbed, a dealer in
curios, visited his despoiler in Jail, took
an interest in him because he had not
taken the Bible and eventually reform
ed him and got him good job.
II knew" the thief said, that If /
took that Bible 1t would do me harm
and If | didn't take it it might do me
good. l let it alone, and now, thank
heaven, I'm an honest and a righteous
man."
The detective added that in another
case where thief had stolen Bible
the book had been returned. Another

When Two Rainboyys Are Seen

When two rainbows are sometimes
seen at once, one outside the other, the
inner or primary bow, as it is called.
is always the brighter, and the red
band of color is always on its outside.
The outer or secondary bow is much
fainter in color, and the red band is
always on its inside This is because
in the primary bow the suns rays are
only reflected once, while in the sec
ondary bow they are reflected twice,
which makes them fainter in color and
turns them upside down. In one rain
bow we see the rays of the sun enter
ing the raindrops at the top and re-
hected to the eye from the bottom.
while in the other we see the rays en-
tering the raindrops at the bottom and
reflected from the top, whence they

The Candle Nut.

The candle nut is native of the Pa
cific islands, and the name is derived
from the fact that the kernels are so
full of oil that when dried they are
stuck on reeds and used as candles.
The people of Hawaii, after having
roasted these nuts and removed the
shells, reduce the kernels to paste
which is favored with pepper and salt
and Is said TO be most appetizing
dish. The husk of the nut and the gum
which eXudes from the tree have me-
dicinal values, while the burned shell of
the kukui is used to make an indelible
ink with which tattooing is done.

On Saturday last W. IL. Routledge

claims two miles southeast of Goldfield,
He has sold part to Tonopah capital
who will incorporate and develop the
property. He has bought for himself
and others the Fair View group, COM
prising five claims. The above proper
ties are being surveyed by j. b. Me-

The Booth Mining company of Gold
field has been incorporated by Hugh

assays as high as $35 to the ton.
Five men have been put to work on
the Spokane group near Diamondfield.
DR.. Chamberlain and associates have
bought the Corncob group of four claims
living north of McLaughlin's well. Thos.

Shields, Mcdonald and Court have
sold two claims on the road to Diamond
field to NJ L. Effinger, of Salt Lake.
The consideration was $4,000.
The shaft on the o. X. Fraction is
down 25 feet and the entire shaft will
pay well, while there are some very rich
streaks. Frank Golden has put men to
work on his sub-lease and two other
lessees have started to work.
A strike of copper ore has been made
on porphyry mountain ten miles west
of Stonewall, but definite particulars are
lacking. Carl Smith and associates are
to have II inches of ore that
goes 30 to 40 per cent copper and $76 in
gold and silver.
