Vengeance by Prayer

This bit of local color is from tn, Japan Times: "At Shinokubo, a smal village in Soshu, consisting of only seventy houses, several cases of rob bery have lately occurred to the great alarm of the villagers. A diligent search instituted by them for the of fender proved an utter failure. The community consequently held mass meeting and unanimously agreed upon cursing the robber to death. A virtu ous priest of the locality was accord. ingly applied to for the purpose.
 He however, declined to curse the robber to death, an act too cruel for a holy man like him to resort to, but promised that he would paralyze the robber by his powerful prayers, so as to disable him and lead him to re. pentance. Thus the priest commenced his incantations. But, behold, the rob. Der continued his subtle operations to the indignation of the entire communi- ty.
 ''The priest has been condemned as a worthless fellow, and the villagers have taken upon themselves the task of re. pairing every day to the village temple by twos and threes to offer horrible prayers by which the robber is doomed to an early and fearful death. "-Chiea- go News

With Broken Neck, Dies of Consumption

The puzzle of Milwaukee physicians, Michael Quigley, is dead from consump. tion. For the last five years Quigley has lived with his neck broken. He was able to roll himself in, wheel chair and to walk with little or no support. Physicians who attended him say that he might have lived to ripe old age if he had not fallen prey to consump. ton.
 Five years ago Quiglcy fell fron a hayloft in barn and struck with his back on the curb of manager. Several small bones immediately protecting the spinal cord were broken. The cord it. self was so compressed at the point of fracture that all circulation was cut of.
 The operation on the man was delayed for three weeks because of his own protests. Dr. T. G. Walsh, who then operated, was able to relieve the press ure on the spine so that the man re- gained partial control of his lower limbs.
 Two months ago, when his tubereular ailment had reduced him beyond hope of recovery, he was taken to the conn. " hospital, where he died-Milwuakce Dispatch to New York World.

HOROSCOPES IN SHIPS
Successful Demonstration of Stability
 to Rolling Motion.

On threee days of last week interest
 ing trials were made off Tynemouth to demonstrate the effect of the gyroscop- ic apparatus devised by Dr. Schlick on the rolling motions of ships in sea. way. They ere conducted in the fol- lowing manner: The vessel was placed broadside on to the waves, or nearly so, with the gyroscope fixed, and was allowed to roll freely The maximum
 inclinations to the vertical attained were on several occasions fifteen de. grees on each side. The motion of the vessel was very quick; the period of os eillation for a double roll with the gy. roseope fixed slightly exceeded four sec. onds. When a considerable oscillation had been attaiend the gyroscope ap- parratus was set free by releasing the brakes, by which it had been previous. ly held, and was permitted to oscillatc longitudinally about traverse horizon tai axis, the bearings of which were attached to the hull of the vessel. The effect upon the rolling was most re- markable. It was "damped'' immed. lately, and after few oscillations, was practically extinguished, the deck re. maining almost horizontal, while the vessel heaved up and down. Some of the nautical representatives on board were of the opinion that, if the rolling could be extinguished in this manner and the deck kept nearly horizontal. there would be a risk of the waves breaking on board to greater extent than when the vessel was rolling. Ob. servation however, proved that the con. trary was true; the deck kept perfectly dry as the vessel heaved up and down with the gyroscope in action, and the conditions were much more comfortable than they were when the gyroscope was fixed and the vessel permitted to roll broadside on to the waves.
 These results absolutely confirmed those previously obtained in Germany, and greatly impressed the representa-. tives of the steamship lines who wit messed them. It is anticipated that the result of the demonstration will be the practical adoption of the system in cer. tain steamships almost immediately. Already the Hamburg American Com. pany are constructing a gyroscope to be fitted in their pleasure steamer Sil. vana, which runs between Hamburg and ligoland.-London Times.

HAS RIGHT TO BE SORE.

The head. of the Western Book Con. cern of the Methodist church hotly as. serts that "The greatest tyranny on earth is that of the unsanctified labor union." Aside from the fact that we hardly know what constitutes a sancti- ned labor union or its opposite, it strikes us that the reverend gentleman was rather violent in his utterances being as is presumed sby his title, a minister of the gospel. From stand. point of worldly gain, however, the Rev. Dr. Jennings had sufficient provo cation for his violence.

REPORT LAWSON WILL COMBINE HUMBOLDT PLANT WITH CALL
 FoRNIA SHELTER.

According to eastern advices, Thom. as w. Lawson, who recently took over controlling interest in the Arizona Smelting company, operating the Hum boldt plant, and various mines in this country, is to merge this property with his California property, the Trinity and the Balakala, which adjoin each other, and reorganize the whole, later, into still another new company.
 The Balalakala Consolidated Copper company's properties are situated near Kennett, Shasta county, California, and consists of sixty.four claims, the chief development work being on the Fl Cap. itan group, where tunnel operatings show sulphide ore body sixty to one hundred feet wide, the ore ranging from very poor to very good, with proba- ble average of better than II per cent copper, but conservatively placed at 3.7 per cent copper, with fair gold and sil. yer values. The company, which has been organized and sold twice, has a capitalization of $l,OO0,0O0 shares. s5 par. It is said Lawson will secure con. trolling interest in this property.
 The Trinity Copepr companys s prop. critics consist chiefly of the Shasta, King and King Copper groups, of twelve and twenty-two claims, respectively Lawson is president of the company. The Shasta King has about 7,4OO feet of underground openings, and the prop erty has been partially explored by some 5000 feet of diamond drill bor, ings. It is low grade proposition, the values running from one to four per cent copper, with small gold value. At the time of the formation of the com pany it was capitalized for $6,000,000.
 Lawson has been active of late, and it is reported in New York that Wall street is to witness aonther campaign | by him. With the announcement that he was to take an active part in the reorganization of the Balakala, which has been on the defensive for some time past, and, if possible, secure con- trol, to merge with his Trinity property, stocks, but as no new developments have occurred at either property, and as the mines are closed down at present, with the outlook for an immediate re. sumption of activities very remote, it is not thought there will be much of a drive on the shares, unless the proposed merging with the Arizona Smelling com. pany interests should give them an add. ed value.

The deposed district attorney of Co. chise county probably would not have minded it so much if only intemperance had been charged against him. But to accuse him of not having sufficient le. gal ability to hold his job was about the limit.

IF I WERE SANTA CLAUS

If l were Santa Claus I'd pass
 The grown-up men and women by; I'd search for every little lass
 And every little boy, that I Could visit in a single night;
 Beside their cots I'd gayIy pause; The little ones would delight.
 I'd be a children Santa Claus. If l were Santa Claus I'd not
 Waste time on grown.up folks at all; But l would finger by each cot
 Where slept faithful youngster small I'd look for little tear-stained cheecks, And in each face I'd slyly peer; And, when the light of morning streaks, I'd see they tasted Christmas cheer. IT l were Santa Claus, I'd go
 Where children never know the joys St. Nick is fabled to bestow
 I'd visit all the girls and boys That poverty is pulling down
 The thin, pale children, wan and i'll; I'd search for them throughout the
 town,
 Their little stockings I would fill. If were Santa Claus, I'd see That not little child should wake To find he was forgot by me;
 No tiny heart d ever break. Such plumes and sugar canes I'd leave, Such wonderfully painted toys, That not one baby heart should grieve. I'd Santa for the girls and boys.

Steamer Cuts Through a Whale

Like knife cuts through a loaf oi bread, the fleet steamship Admiral Far ragut, bound from Jamaica for this port, rammed her way through a fifty foot whale of Cape Hatteras on Satur day afternoon, severing the leviathar completely in half
 The trim, speedy vessel was blowing through the waters of the Atlantic oil Cape Hatteras at the rate of sixteen or seventeen miles an hour when her look out from the bridge, "Whale abaft the weather beam!" meaning that levia, than was cutting directly across the bow of the steamship.
 The vessel was travelling at too rapid rate to enablc the captain to alter her course. The sea monster seemed to realize it's danger, for it shot forward at terrific speed itself, notwithstanding its huge bulk. But collision with the steamer was inevitable and the fate of the whale certain, for even its thick hide and tons of fat were no match for the narrow, clean-cut bow of the steamship.
 The bow clove the whale like a knife. There was jarring sensation on board the vessel and great fountain of blood arose suddenly from the water. The life fluid of the leviathan dyed the decks and pilot house of the steam ship and turned the waters of the Allan tic crimson. But that was all. The yes sel plunged on, leaving the carcass of the whale floating in her wake, only to sink in two mangled pieces to the bot. tom of the ocean before the trim steam. ship was out of view.-Philadelphia In.

QUEER BUSINESS.

In his decision in the Mitchell Mining company suit yesterday, Judge Nave handed out some rather torrid ones to the plaintiff. He stated among other things that the courts were not for the purpose of remedying business blunders, which the acquisition of mining proper ties in this district by the plaintiff, ac. cording to its own story, certainly was, if not something worse. It is rather inconceivable that company with the standing of the Mitehells should close a deal for mining property on the dope of promoter, before they had received the report of their own experts, but the company probably had other req sons than those given, for the action taken. The ways of the mining com. pany are often like those of the Heather Chinee as defined by Bret Harte.

Reflections of a Bachelor.

A girl doesn't mind having red hair unless you call it that.
 When a man isn't ashamed to talk of earning his bread and butter it amounts to lot more than that.
 A man can endure most any disaster better than having a lot of boys laugh at him when he falls down on an icy sidewalk.
 One of the most unreasonable traits of woman is the way she can think it ism t her fault when her husband cuts himself shaving.
 If woman can't convince herself any other way that her husband loves her she can do it by remembering he told her so before they were married.

Thirty Meals from One Tnrnin

Mrs. Robert Henderson, the wife of
 the discoverer of the Klondike, has tho largest nugget ever taken from the ground in the Klondike. It was taken out this fall, and Mrs. Henderson has tho honor of having dug it up herself The nugget weighs twenty-five pounds and is nothing more or less than q giant turnip, grown in the Henderson garden, at their home in South Daw. son. The turnip looks in size more like a pumpkin. It is sound and has the peculiar quality of being tender and delicious to the extent that can be sc- curel only in vegetables grown under the midnight sun. Were navigation still open Mrs. Henderson would send the turnip to the coast to surprise the natives of Puyallup, Chilliwhack, Sc. attle, and Gotham, As it is, she will slice it and have turnip off the one root for thirty successive meals.-Dawson Dispatch to the Seattle Post Intelli- gencer

Our modern Christmas grew out of pagan festival in form but in senti ment of course, it was directly opposed to organism. For centuries before the Christian era every country in the world held its chief festival at the winter sol stice, or turning point of the year. It is undoubtedly true that pagan forms taken from festivals like the Saturnalia marked the early Christmas celebrations. Later, various portions of the Druidical rites were added and then some of the ceremonies of the ancient Germans and Scandinavians. This was because the early church sought to reconcile the heather converts by adopting the harm less features of their festivals, invest ing them where possible, with Chris tian significance. In this sense. Christ. mas is a continuance of the pagan festivals, although, of course, it was the desire of the Christians to supplant the heather celebration, not to continue it.
 Tradition says that Christmas was first observed in 9S A. D., and ordered to be held as a solemn feast by pope Telesphorus in l37 A. D. It is not known who first celebrated it, nor where, nor how. There is no record of any commemoration of the day dur. ing the life of Christ, as the early Christians looked upon the celebrations of birthdays as heathenish, and even the birthday of the Lord himself was not excepted.
 X is an abbreviation for "Christ. " It originates from the Greek letter x (Ch) beginning the name of "Chris- tos" (the Annointed). The derivation of "Xmas" is plain.
 "Merry Christmas originated in England. The old Saxon word Inner. rie" did not mean lively or gay as does our English word, but meant pleas ant or agreeable Christmas.
 The custom of singing Christmas car ols appears to be almost as old ae the first days of the church the bishops sang carols on Christmas day.
 The custom of making presents at Christmas was derived from the Ro mans, who made gifts to one another during their great winter festival, the Saturnalia. The early Christians made presents to their children on Christmas morning under the pretense that they had been dropped by the Christchild | while passing over the house at night. |
 The word "Santa Claus" is an Eng. fish perversion of the Netherlands word " Sinter Klaas, meaning Saint Mich olas day, which in the Netherlands is celebrated on December 6. The real Saint Nicholas, it is said, was the bish. op of Myra in Lyeia, who died about 326 A. D. His personal history is all most entirely unknown, but numerous legends show hmm to have been a most and kindly man. In some parts of Germany it is still coustom Tor some one to dress up as bishop on Saint Nicholas eve and distribute presents to the children. The custom. however, is practically obsolete, Saint Nicholas having been superseded by Santa Claus.

Mining Meeting at Dubuque.

The third district meeting of the Tri-
State Mining association was held at
Dubuque Friday, Nov. %. j. H. Lewis
reports it as being the best attended
and the most successful meeting yet
held by the miners organization. He
says that it indicates q spirit of ear
nestness and purpose that augurs we'll
for the future progress Of the assOci-
ton. The best men the states of
Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin afford
were here and many speakers of ma
tiOnal reputation were heard in the
halls of the convention which was
held in the Julien hotel, so named
after Julien Dubuque who settled here
more than 100 years ago and engaged
in lead mining. The morning session
was devoted to practical talks by
local mining men and A. M. Valen-
tine, first vice president offered the
following resolution which was adopt
ed and made a matter of record.
1T is expressly understood that
this association shall not cOuntenance
or permit any report to be officially
made in the name of the ass OciatiOn
in any specific mine prospect or min
eral land. While the association
desires to encourage and foster any
efforts tending to advance the in
terests of the district as whole this
association is not affiliated in any
way with any private enterprise con-
nected with the mining industry
The afternoon session was given up
to speechmaking by William Spense-
Iy of Galena, w. A. Swart and Con-
gresham Murphy of PIattevilIe, and
r. l. Dugdale, one of the trustees of
the new school of mines at Platteville.
In the evening the visiting mining
men and leading citizens of Dubuque
were given a banquet in the main din
ing hall of the Julien, the principal
speaker being United States Senator
William B. Allison, who although
grown grey in the service of his coun-
try, is nevertheless one of the bright
est minds in the union we'll preserved.
