STUCK TO MUZZLE LOADER.

There have been hunters in the
west, even in recent times, who have
refused to give up their old muzzle
leaders for improved weapons. Some
ten years ago there died in northern
California, at Yreka, an old back
woodsman named Alexander Tyler,
who, was commonly known as Long
Aleek."
He was a Tennessean Of the Dan
lei Boone type. He crossed the
plains in 1851, carrying with him
an ancient Kentucky rifle, muzzle
loading, of course, and five feet three
inches long.
1t matched well the stature of
Long Alcck," for that worthy stood
six feet three inches in his stock
ings. He was for all the rest of his
life miner in wild districts, and it
IS known that with this rifle he killed
many Indians.

WEBSTER A FEEBLE CHILD.

From infancy TO manhood Daniel
Webster suffered from feeble health,
one Of his clearest recollections being
of the time when, having been threat
ened with ricketts, and a long time i'll,
his father one day bore him to his
weeping mother with the remark:
eve must give him up. We never
can raise this child.o Ulrich Won
Hutton, the famous humanist, was
early dedicated to the church be-
cause of his delicate health, and in
all his brief but momentous life
never knew what it was to feel yigor-
Gus. Adam Smith, though he lived
to be 6T, was an unpromising infant,
and remained a physical weakling
all his life. John Flaxman, the
eighteenth century sculptor, was at
one time believed dead by both moth
er and nurse. He passed the three
score and ten milestone and rendered
great service to art.

KING OF sAFE-BREAKERS.
Marvellous DeIicacy Of Hearing Pos
sessed by Miner James.

Miner James was the most artistic
safe breaker in the business" said
Lecocq the detective. He is dead
now. He opened in his time over 700
safes without tools or gunpowder
solely by working out the combination
with his delicate and patient fingers.
1t took me year, he once said,
to learn the trick of picking combina-
tons l studied all the locks there
were and | had three safes of different
makes TO practice on The ear is the
most important factor in my method
and it must be held tight against the
safe door on a line with the tumblers.
When the knob of the lock is turned
slowly and one of the tumblers reach
es the notch corresponding to the first
number of the combination the tum-
bier will fall with a little click. Care
must be taken not to displace this
lumber. You keep on trying the knob
back and forth gently till each of the
tumblers drops. Then the door opens.
Hardly one man in a thousand has an
ear delicate enough for this work and
to be a success at 1t you've got to give
up tobacco and alcohol.
