1t was discovered some years ago
that a part of the business district of
Minneapolis was built over a great
subterranean cavern, whose rocky
roof lay some sixty or more feet be-
low the surface, but the fact has been
kept quiet until now, when the roof
of the cave has been put upon the
support of great concrete pillars. The
cave had been caused by a subter-
ranean waterfow, which has been di-
verted. When accidentally discov.
cred, says the San Francisco Argo-
naut, the cavern contained a lake of
fine ice-cold water, ten feet deep, and
large enough to have supplied the
city,

Evil of Tipplnn system.

Although there is a great effort made
to keep secret the thefts in hotels and
restaurants in New York, it is quite

will in all proba bility escape the pun
ishment ne so richly merits.
A NIGHTMARE IN HARDWARE.
Today 1 drove the pigs of lead
Down where the tailor's goose
Was drinking from the old springfield,
AS was its wont and use.
The sad-iron stood in sorrow by;
The weight had lost it's scales,
But the harrow showed its grinning
And the key it's tenpenny nails
The auger cried. "Life's one long
bore;
The pillow said, 1--WE my share";
The copper whispered, "All is ORE;
And the handspring tore it's hair.
Though the monkey wrenched nut
after nut
From the rods that tried to bolt;
Though the cross-cut saw bad-temp-
cred got
Seeing the stop cocks mott.
No game the chains put on their links.
Where the planes were smooth as
glass;
A heaviness fell on the zines,
A dullness on the brass
WHAT strange, handwriting sights there
be-,
The jack-screw turned away, -
A saving thought came unto me-
I need not weight today.
The thing I could not understand:
I turned my pigs of lead,
And drove them with an iron hand
Back to the smelling shed.
