and to make sure that the Missouri
men did not get them they were placed
In corncrib only few rods from the

whole bunch had disappeared The
Eighth was suspected, but could not be
convicted. Years after the war at re-
union at Cincinnati General Sherman
met the major of the Eighth and i'm
mediately after greetings said all would
be forgiven if the major would tell how
those chickens were taken. That's
easy said the major. The first very
dark night we sent a squad of our best
foragers with the smallest fellow In
the regiment. Removing a slat from the
crib, he made an aperture large enough
TO admit him. A cloth soaked with
chloroform, which our hospital sup
piled, applied to the head of chicken
soon caused 1T to topple over, and It
was passed out for the bag. In this
way the birds were in few minutes
transferred to our camp under cover
of darkness absolutely without noise.

Onions For Rabies,

"1n one of our growing western
towns which | occasionally visit" said
a New York business man." knew a
young man who was engaged to marry
beautiful girl. He was suddenly
seized with an insane desire to injure
her. She called for her father and
brother and the latter ran for the fam
lily physician, who, upon his arrival,
ordered a glass Of water to be brought.
At sight of it the young man frothed
at the mouth, exhibiting all the symp-
toms of rabies. He was taken to the
attic and fastened with chain around
his body to ring in the floor. One
day, after many weary weeks of watch
Ing, a favorable change was noticed.
How do you feelY asked the doctor.
oh, I'm much better was the reply
but you didn't cure me, doctor. 1t was

QUEER SIGHTS IN EGYPT.
The Spectacle That Greets the Eye at
the Assunn Dam.

Boats are making fast along the riv-
er bank, some coming down the Nile
from Khartum, some coming up the
Nile from Cairo" writes Jerome Hart
in description of the queer sights at
the great Assuan dam in Egypt. "The
quay along the river Is semi European,
or, rather, Levantine, its buildings,
with arcaded fronts, like those one
sees in Alglers and other Mediter-
ranean cities. Tourists in the latest
tourist fashion pass along this boule
ward, on foot, on horseback, ON donkey
back and In carriages. Every combina-
tion of costume may be seen. Here
comes an old man ia European) in a
high silk hat and white kid gloves.
Behind him skips Il Bishareen boy of
fifteen, his shiny black skin exposed
to the cool breeze, his curly hair lus-
trous with grease. Next comes an
American girl in thin muslin gown a
chip straw hat, mounted on a donkey.
Behind her rides an elderly Egyptian
official, sour faced and fezZed, all
crouched up and apparently shivering,-
on his donkey, with very heavy cloak
gathered about his shoulders.
Next comes a squad of Sudanese
soldiers in khaki uniforms and khaki
colored feZes, with riding breeches and
legs. They carry little 'swagger
switches like those of Tommy At
kins, and are modelled on him in other
respects, but have faces so hideously
ugly and so incredibly black that they
make you fairly stare. Behind them
again Is another native group, this
time of Bishareens. They differ both
from the Egyptian Arabs and the Su-
danese. There is nothing of the Ethio-
plan about their faces except their
skins, for they have the same rich,
glossy, stove polish black that the Su-
danese have. In other respects they are
utterly dissimilar, for they have
straight noses, fine features, oval faces,
kind eyes and are often very hand
some, except for their color. They
usually wear but one garment, a dirty
cotton shirt.
,"IIere comes Mohammedan lady,
richly attired, with immaculate gloves
and neat Greek boots. She wears a
very thin veil, has large black eyes and
from her figure and her eyes is appar-
emily young and beautiful. A nurse ac-
companies her with baby, and they
step into a smart carriage behind a
span of beautiful Arabian horses. A
scowllng black servant is seated on the
box beside the coachman. We see an
other Mohammedan woman in the
same picture, also in black But hers

arms stick out, holding her baby. Be-
low 1t her shrunk shanks and bare feet

cant hand to the woman in the car
riage.
"Up the street comes a camel caravan
laden with kegs. At the command Of
the driver the camels kneel down. Th,
drivers unlash the kegs, which roll all
over the road until at last they are
stacked up on end. Curious to Sc.
what the kegs contain, for theoretical
ly the Mohammedans drink no liquors,
we approach. A trinity uniformed ma
tive policeman politely warns us off.

SAILING AND SINCERITY.


Like all fine arts, sailing must be
which, like law Df nature, rules an
ininity of different phenomena says
Joseph Conrad in the Booklovers Mag
azine. Your endeavor must be single
minded. You would talk differently to
II coal HEAVIER and to professor. But
is this duplicity? | deny it. The truth
consists in the genuineness of the feel
ing, in the genuine recognition of the
two men, so similar and so different, as
your two partners in the hazard of life
Obviously a humbug thinking only of
winning his little race would stand
chance Of profting by his deception
Men, professors or coal beavers, are
easily deceived. They even have an
extraordinary knack of lending them
selves to deception, sort of curious
and ineXpicable propensity to allow
themselves to be led by the nose with
their eyes open. But with ship it is
not so. She is a sort of creature which
we have brought into the world, as it
were, on purpose to keep us up to the
mark
In her handling ship will not put up
with mere pretender, as for instance,
the public will do with Mr. Y, the pop
ular statesman; Mr.. Y, the popular sci
enlist, or Mr.. u, the popular-what
shall we say? anything from a teacher
of high morality to a bagman-who
have won their little race. But |
would like, though not accustomed to
betting, to wager large sum that not
one Of The few first rate shippers of
racing yachts has ever been a humbug.
1t would have been too difficult. The
difficulty arises from the fact that one
does not deal with ships in mob, but
with ship as an individual. SO we
may have to do with men. But in each
of us there is some particle of the mob
spirit, of the mob temperament. No
matter how earnestly we strive against
each other, we remain brothers on the
lowest side of our intellect and the in
stability of our feeling.
With ships it is not So Much as they
are to us, they are nothing to each
other Those sensitive creatures have
no ears for our establishments. 1t takes
something more than words to cajole
them to do our will, to cover us with
glory-luckily, too, or else there would
have been more shoddy regulations for
first rate seamanship.

Height of Thunder Clouds.

a great, cumulous thunder cloud, tow
ering up on the horizon like a huge,
flambuoyant iceberg, is often higher
than the highest Alps would be if they
were piled on top of the Himalayas.
1t is not unusual for these clouds to
measure five, six and even eight miles
from their fiat, dark base, lowering. a
mile or two above the world, to their
rounded, glistening summit, splendid
in the sunlight. And in these eight
miles the changes of temperature are
as great as those over many thousand
miles of the earth's surface. These
clouds contain strata of temperature,
narrow belts of freezing cold alternat-
ing with large distances of rainy mist
and frozen snow and ice particles.
HailstOnes, which are formed from a
snow particle that falls from the up
per strata and Is frozen hard in the
freezing belt and coated with added ice
on the wet belt, are often found with
a series of layers in their formation,
showing that they have passed through
this succession of cloud strata more
than once on their way from the upper
air to the earth.-Phiadelph Inquirer

ness of the "ind," it was decided to
stake the claims and make the title
to same absolutely perfect. With
this end in view, Messrs. Butler,
Oddie 4 Brougher started for the
new camp on October Sth, with two
teams loaded with provisions and
supplies and stakes. The three men
went to work with a will and started
the nucleus Of what is today the great
city Of T~onopah. They sank a shaft
a few feet and extracted two wagon
loads of ore from the Mizpah. This
they hauled to Belmont, and from
there one hundred miles to the rail
road, from which point it was
shipped to San Francisco. The re-
turns from the two tons was six hun
dred dollars, With that money,
miners were hired and active de
velopment work was commenced.
From that time the mines paid for
themselves without any outside
financial assistance.
Such is the history OF the dis
covery OF T~onopah by Jim Butler, on
his way to Gold Reef and Klondike
and the chances are that il he had
not discovered the great Mizpah
ledge, he would have discovered the
big, rich lodges at Gold Reef, and if
he had that camp would today be.a
hustling, busting city.
The main strike is ON the Toggery
ground, comprising five claims, owned
by Jim Grimes, Billy Grimes and
Roger Dougherty. On the Toggery
claim a ledge twelve inches wide has
been uncovered, which gives sensa-
tional values in gold, three assays
being as follows: 81, $50, s 1900 and
81, 800. This is a showing on the
surface that Goldfeld could never
boast of, and yet people flock many,
many miles away from here to places
that cannot ''hold a candle" to Tono-
pah and the districts tributary to it.
Adjoining this property on the
southwest is the Touopah South Gold
Mountain mining company ground.
The officers Of this company are Dan.
iel Wilson, the San Francisco banker,
president; John I. Fogarty, vice
President; Adolph Loessel, ecre,
tary, and Thomas K. Bannerman,
treasurer. These, with DR.. Clinton,
A. j. Martin and "Puddy' Grimes,
constitute the board of directors.
The Gold Reef mining company
the ground adjoining on the
east, and the ground is equally as
rich as the Grimes property. The
president Of this company is John
McKane and the heaviest owner is
Charles Kielhofer. On the southeast
A. K Kinney and Col. Coykendall
own a promising group of ten claims,
with lodges on all Of them.
Other owners are John Hennessy.
John 7. Wheeler, j.. P. Rrissell,
Mcguire and Pat Bannerman.
The fact that nearly every claim
in the district has one or more lodges
and that gold can be PANIED from
every u of them, stamps Gold Reef
as n Of the richest sections of
Nevada.
