A RICH GOLD MINE.
For Several Years Eager Fortune
Seekers Worked Over 1t.

For Several Years Eager Fortune
Seekers Worked Over 1t.
A tale is told of a rich gold mine in
Idaho with a ledge of ore which once
extended above the surface of the
ground in a clear, solid ridge several
feet high and entirely distinct from the
surrounding formation. This ledge was
long and unbroken and lay directly
across the course which hundreds of
prospectors took every year to reach
other gold fields. This obstruction of
rock, the great value Of which was
long unknown, was too high to be sur
mounted by pack animals, so the pros
pectors cut q trail directly through it,
For several years these eager gold seek
ers passed backward and forward over
this trail in search of gold mines. One
night a prospector camping near this
ledge of rock picked up bit of it and
from force Of habit took it to a creek
near by and washed it, Then he exam
ined the stone, and. to his great aston
ishment, he found "colOrs'' in it-bits
of sparkling gold. The prospector does
not mistake gold when he sees it. He
is not deluded by iron crystals or bits
of mica, as the "tenderfoot" frequent
~ is. The gold sparkle is clearer and
brighter than that of any other miner
al and it is the same in sunshine and
shadow.
The prospector, tremendously excit-
ed, broke off more pieces of the ledge
and found more of it bearing free gold.
Then he located his claim, and that
was the beginning of a rich mine. Yet
for years the sagest of prospectors had
passed over this trail through the cut
in this ledge, never suspecting its val
ue, although by its very prominence it
seemed to invite inspection. = Leslie's

SOME WOMEN

Pose in public and do it in an ex-
ceedingly clumsy way.
Carry on a conversation in a tone
that savors of scOlding.
Show a spirit Of happiness on the
smallest possible capital
Lose the regard of men by being too
exacting in their demands.
Have an idea men constantly are try
ing to attract their attention.
Use terms of endearment which con-
vey neither sense nor meaning.
Impart a flavor of comfort to every
thing of which they are part.
Want the world to regard them as an
authority on all social questions.
Talk so much about loves of the
past that there is a suspicion Of boast
ing.
Have a manner about them that is
positively exasperating-Phil

An Italian Brigand,s Horse.

Among south Italian brigands even
their horses are taught to resist the
officers of the law. During the en-
counter at Rama Bucca, in which the
brigand Nitro was killed, the gen.
darmerie was amazed by the furious
behavior of his horse, which dashed out
on all sides, and succeeded in injuring
one of the officers. On inquiry after
ward among the prisoners taken it was
ascertained that the horse had been
trained to behave in this way by being
repeatedly flOgged until he kicked one
of the brigands. dressed as a carabi-
neer, approaching him. The horse at
last became such an adept that he
might be relied upon to kick and rear
furiously at the mere sight of a uni.

OPENING PARLIAMENT.
The POmp with Which 1t Was DOn~
by Queen Victoria.

The trumpets sound! The queen ap-
proaches! The trumpet continues, and
first enter at a side door close at my
elbow the college of heralds richly
dressed, slowly, two and two. Then
the great officers of the household, then
the lord chancellor bearing purse, seal
and speech of the queen, with the mace
bearers before him. Then Lord Lans-
downe with the crown, the Earl of Zet-
land with the cap of maintenance and
the Duke of Wellington with the sword
of state. Then Prince Albert, leading
the queen, followed by the Duchess of
Sutherland, mistress of the robes, and
the NIarchioness of Douro, daughter
in-law of the Duke of Wellington, who
is one of the ladies in waiting. The
queen and prince sit down, while every
body else remains standing. The queen
then says in a voice most clear and
sweet MY lords trolling the r., be
seated" Upon which the peers sit
down, except those who enter with the
queen, who group themselves about
the throne in the most picturesque
manner The queen had a crown of
diamonds, with splendid necklace and
stomacher of the same. The Duchess
of Sutherland close by her side with
her ducal coronet of diamonds and q
little back Lady DourO, also with her
coronet. On the right of the throne
stood the lord chancellor, with scarlet
robe and flowing wig, holding the
speech, surrounded by the emblems of
his office; a little farther, one step lower
down, Lord Lansdowne, holding the
crown on a crimson velvet cushion
and on the left the Duke of Wellington
brandishing the sword of state in the
air, with the Earl of Zetland by his
side The queens train Of royal purple
or, rather, deep crimson, was borne
by many train bearers. The whole
scene seemed to me like a dream or a
vision. After a few minutes the lord
chancellor came forward and presented
the speech to the queen. She read il
sitting and most eXquisitely. Her voice
is fiutelike and her whole emphasis de
cided and intelligent. Very soon after
the speech is finished she leaves the
house, and we all follow as soon as we
can get our carriages.-Mrs. George

Paying For Water.

We believe that those farmers who
irrigate and who pay for the actual
amount of water drawn from the ca
nal get the best of the bargain, says
Denver Field and Farm. In New Mex
leo last year the farmers who paid ac-
cording to the quantities received used
81 per cent less water than others I'M
der the same canal who paid a fiat
rate and used what they wanted. A
similar test in Idaho showed that those
who paid for the quantities received
used 90 per cent less than those pay
ing the acreage rate, an average for
the two sections of % per cent. A
large majority of farmers receive wa
ter from ditch companies of some kind,
z and wherever this is done the means
Of inducing economy is available. Most
farmers, however, use excessive quanti-
ties Of water in the belief that it is
necessary to do so, and hence we see
waste everywhere.

ON THE PARIS 'CHANGE.
A Place Among the Seventy Costs
About Three Million Francs.

About Three Million Francs.
1t may be said that a seat among
the seventy 0hey call it CHARGE costs
about 100000 francs ($6OO,OOO) or
sometimes 100000, and a charge
earns from 3 to - per cent met q
year, so that the annual profits are
from $4,000 to $4,000, or more in OK
ceptional years. But these are usually
divided among several associates, for
1t rarely happens that an agent is the
sole owner of his seat. More often he
has paid for only half of it or a third
Ct it and has three or four silent part
ners, who own the rest and who may
again have subpartners, so that you
will hear of a person OwAing an eighth
or a sixteenth of a seat or even a thir-
ty-second, these seing simple invest
ments that carry no rights or privi
leges on the bourse.
las to procuring a charge, the thing
has none of the Stock Exchange sim
plicity, where the main requirement
for getting a seat is to be able to pay
for it. Here d candidate must be a
Frenchman and at least twenty-five
years old. He must have served four
years in certain forms of business. He
must be personally acceptable to the
agent from whom he would purchase
the seat and often to his family, in
Guiding the ladies. He must be passed
upon by the seventy with formal vot-
ing, as if he were joining some select
club, which he is. There must be no
stain on his business record and no
slur on his personal character. A can
didate was rejected recently for bad
habits and another for no fault of his
own, but because his brother had been
concerned in questionable transactions.
With all this favorably settled there is
still needed the approval of the minis
ter of finances and the sanction of the
head of the government.-Clevela

Many Sudden Deaths ON Sunday


did you ever notice there are more
sudden deaths in Philadelphia on a
Sunday than any other day in the
week?" remarked a policeman. 1T is
true, and the records prove it. The
police book in the electrical bureau in
the city hall contains this record.
Sometimes the fatalities Of this nature
are double the number Of any week
day. How do account for it? l don't.
l simply hazard a guess or two. 1t
may be that folks eat more heartily
on Sunday, and this fact no doubt ag-
gravates certain ailments, bringing on
acute attacks of heart disease and indi-
gestion. For fifteen years I have no.
ticed the excessive number of deaths
on Sunday, yet have never heard any
one give a reason other than l have
