SMALLEST DOG IN AUSTRIA
Bakers Wife Gave 1t to Princess Windischaratz. Thereby Making
 Her Very Happy.

The Princess Windischgratz is the granddaughter of tho emperor of Aus tria. When she was but about eleven years old she was known and loved as "the little Princess Elizabeth"
 There lived a baker in the city of Vienna whose wife was particularly fond of the little Princess Elizabeth. This bakers wife had, in 1894, a tiny white dwarf dog given her, which was so small that, when full-groWn. it could sit on a lady's hand So small a dog had never been seen before, and people often came to the house on purpose to look at it.
 It was Christmas eve. The bakers wife dressed herself in her Sunday best, put the dog in a basket lined with pink satin, and went to the pal ace where Elizabeth lived. No strang- CT was allowed to go into the palace except by permission. She showed the dog to the guards, and they were so delighted with it that they man. aged to get her into the palace. and when once in, it was not very difficult to obtain permission from the court authorities to see Princess Stephanie, the mother of the little Princess Eliza beth
 Your royal highness," said the bakers wife, q hope that you will al low me to present little gift to your daughter this Christmas eve"; and then she uncovered the basket with tho tinv white dOo in if
 Wasn't the Princess Stephanie de- lighted with it? And of course the little Princess Elizabeth was. She loved it more than any of the rich gifts which she received for Christ mas. The dog remained very small and never grew to be more than five inches high.

Preservation of Scenic Beauty.

A new method for the preservation of scenic beauty is indicated in a de- cision recently handed down by the United States District court sitting at Pueblo, Colo. A water and power company sought, by means of con demnation proceedings, to divert wa ter which produced falls that were the chief attraction of a tourist re- sort. The resort company resisted, on the ground that diversion of the water meant the destruction of that scenic beauty which was it's chief as- set. The falls are now protected by permanent injunction
 Similar steps might have saved the Dells of the Wisconsin, which, after many years of well-deserved fame, have been sacrificed to a light and power company in Milwaukee. Like proceedings might serve to save the valley of the Hetch-Hetchy,, in Cali fornia, now threatened by San Fran cisco.
 It would be well, of course, if fine scenery might be frankly saved for it's own sake. The formation of re- sort companies with vested rights points out way which, while not fully worthy, seems to be effective.

to advance, and if they do ad- vance they slip back. Their failures are many, are Contln- uous, and often excite laugh ter. But 1t is worthier to de- termine and decline, to hope and be disappointed, than not to determine or hope at all. Determination and hope add to our content, or at least di- minish our discomfort, and they are born of New Years. The great need of human life IS content, never attained, never attainable. And on New Years we are deluded into belief of its possibility. Therefore welcome be New Years, not for what it gives, but for what 1t promises to give.

DIDN'T WANT IT REVIVED
Illustrating "What a Tangled Web We Weave When First We Pur-

The man in the last seat of the car grinned as he opened his morn ing paper.
 "See that ?" he asked the man next to him.
 The other man looked. A six inch item had been scissored out of annl1lnn -
 'TWhat of it , he asked.
 ''For one thing" replied the first speaker, it painfully illustrates the good old couplet, 'Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we purpose to deceive You see that hole? Well, I cut out the item be- cause 1 didn't want my wife to read it."
 Something discriminating" ?" the other man asked.
 Nothing of the sort. Entirely in- nocent. But I didn't want her to see it. Then I realized that she would demand 10 know what it was, and would probably borrow the neighbours paper to find out. So I hid the paper and pretended it didn't come"
 'Well, what on earth was the item about?"
 The man with the paper chuckled and prodded the other mans knee.
 "We've got a feeble old rubber plant at our house that's happily on its last legs" he re. lied, "and that miserable item was headed, "A Sure Way to Revive a Sickly Rubber Plant Seer"

Aiding Ones Own Community.

We owe it to the community in which we live to do everything we can in every way possible that will be to it's advantage. Our neighbours prosperity means great deal more to us that some ones who lives else where. We should bear this in mind in buying our goods. We can afford to pay our home man a firm price for his goods rather than send our money away, knowing as we do that every dollar that our own citizen makes viii help in maintaining our schools, cur churches and public institutions. It pays richly to patronize home in- dustry.

Teachers in the public schools also attest that play ground frequenters make the most wide-awake pupils; parents testify to its making children better behaved and more satisfied in home life; res idents in the neighAorhood are also loud in their praise of it's healthful influence.

PLEA FOR THE FOOD TREE Double Purpose Would be Served by It's Plantation In Public
 Parks of City.

Tn the annual report of the Depart ment of Parks of the City of New York bid for philanthropic praise is made in the statement that many of the dead trees were cut down and giv- en to the poor for firewood No doubt this proved a means of rendering needed help and alleviating much sui fering.
 But did the New York park depart ment ever stop to think how much greater benefit it might have rendered in this respect if all the living trees, or even a part of them, had been food trees that bore fruit or nuts? The dead trees in New York's parks and parkways are few, the living trees are many. By this system of philanthropy the tree is able to render such mate rial help but once, and that is after it is dead; the living tree would af- ford help in providing bodily suste- nance every year of it's nature life. The dead tree was probably worth three dollars in fire wood. The living food tree would bear fruit or nuts which would be worth at least ten dol lars every year. While it was living 1t would be as helpful as any other as an adornment and shelter, and after it was dead it would be worth as much as any other for fire wood. In addition it would brighten the parks and parkways with it's pretty flowers. Would it not be better to plant food trees in New York and let them be of philanthropic service while they are living, as well as after they are dead?-Exchange

Why Sea Shells Murmur.

One is often perplexed by the mur muring sounds that come from a sea shell, but really there is no reason for this. The sound is not the echo of the waves. The hollow form of the shell and it's polished surface en- able it to receive and return the beat ings of all sounds that chance to be in the air around the shell. There are many superstitions regarding the nurmuring of sea shells.

A LITTLE HERO.

He rides most daringly to hounds Upon the rocking chair, Or calls the cat tiger fierce, And stalks up to her lair. The rug becomes 2 battle field Where spears and banners toss, The hall a river, wide and deep, That he must swim across. Behind each curtain fold he sees An Indian chieftain grim, And bandits throng the kitchen stairs, And seek to capture him. And when the stars begin to shine In nights eternal arc, He toddles up to bed alone, Quite fearless of the dark.

far more than usual intensity, and especially forces upon our attention our faults, failures and mistakes. Let us look them squarely in the face and profit by them. The wise man always does this, but the fool never. The latter goes on committing the same follies and making the same mis- takes, never pro6ting by his experience, to say nothing of the experience of others. Ev- cry man makes mistakes. It may not be his fault the first time, but 1t is If he makes the same mistakes a second time. We believe that the secret of success with those who succeed and the cause of failure with those who fail will be found largely in the ability and dis position to study. the causes of both success and failure, not only in oDe's own experi- ence but in that of others. The former now has leisure to revieW the operations of the year, and he should do 1t can didly and critically. Make a complete analysis of every i'm PUrtanr operation. Find ttfc weak places in 1t and trace them to their origin. Nothing will prepare one so thoroughly for the operations of the year to come as this kind of search ing investigation.
 And while we are about this business we should look just as carefully into our record of moral respon sibility. We should be far more anxious to improve character, mind and morals than to improve our furns. Serious study of our weak points and of means to strengthen them is very profitable business at any time, and if pursued assidu- ously will strengthen and de- velop all that is good and ad- mirabie in our natures, and make us better, stronger, no- bier men and women as the years go by. And the time will come in the life of every one when such a record of honest, earnest, persistent eff fort to improve will afford far greater satisfaction than any thing else in his account with this world. We can wish no better thing for all our read CTS than that they begin the new year animated by a firm resolve to turn all its experi- ence into profit for themselves, mentally, morally, socially and materially, and then to faith fully carry out the resolution.
 New Years is grand and inspiring occasion, for it is al ways saturated with hope. We are wont to scof at and deride 1t as a day when men make good resolutions only to break them; when they turn over new leaves, as it is called, merely to turn them back again. They want, they hope to be better, and but few of them are so. They determine

HIGH GRADE
FROM RAMONA

A shipment Of several tons of ore
has just been made from the Ramona
property, the original discovery at the
camp Of that name, about eight miles
from Lucky Boy, the returns showing
1858 in gold per ton. This is the
property that was under bond and
lease for a time to J. f. Mitchell of
Goldfeld, but which is now being work
ed by the owners, w. A. Louden, N.
x. Reinhardt and G. e. Grogan. The
shaft is down about 100 feet and drifts
are being driven on the vein. The high
grade is in the form of a tale streak
averaging about a foot wide. Associat-
ed with this is several feet of lower
grade ore that carries shipping values
and the rest Of the ledge, which is 30
feet wide, carries good milling values.
Several other good prospects are be-
ing developed in the camp, which ap-
pears to have a bright future before
it. Within the next few months the
Hydro Electric power line will be ex-
tended through the camp from Bodie
and Aurora to Lucky Boy SO that de-
velopment can be carried on to better
advantage.-Goldfeld Tribune.
