What has a head like a COW, tail
like fish, and legs-six of them,
mark you-like a lizard? This
question has been agitating the pub.
lie mind all morning; in fact, since
the Big Four Land Company placed
the antedeluvian relic in its windows
on Silver avenue. The scribe heard
a hundred people declare the thing
was a fake. but even the newsboys
know where it was found and who
found it.
The fossil, if it is fossil, weighs
sixty pounds, is ten feet long, in.
GLIDING the tail. which is armed on
the end with the finny growth of a
fish. A horn about five inches long
projects from the top of the head
and four of the creatures vertebr@
are quite prominent along the back.
Almost all of the teeth are well pre-.
served, as in fact is the whole ami.
NAL. except for the tusks. which
must have projected from the upper
jaw.
The wonder was uncovered about
three weeks ago by a steam shovel
at Santa Rita. it is said. and has
been kept until yesterday in the
Chino Copper Company's Office in
that place. Mr.. Cowen secured the
curiosity this morning and placed it
on exhibition. No one seems to
know what il is. least of all the
Mexicans who are alleged to have
uncovered it about four feet under
the surface in a gravel bed, and
called on all the saints to preserve
them Some wise ones wink and
say that Coney Island has lost a
clever marine decoration.

ALL ABOUT THE MISTLET0e
Popular Christmas Plant 10 a Parasite
and In olden Times Was Con.
sldered Sacred.

Although in the majority OF Ameri.
can and English homes mistletoe IL
displayed at Christmas time, II Is re-
markable how little is known OF this
curious plant Mistletoe is a para.
sltlc growth, appearing most frequent.
~ on apple trees. although 1t IL also
found on evergreens and on poplar,
hawthorn, pear and oak trees. but
very rarely on the last named. II IL
an evergreen bush. about four feet
In length. thiekly crowded with
branches and leaves. Unlike all 9th.
er plants. its leaves extend down 40
well as up. The plant flowers every
year. but does not bear the little whit.
ish berries until It is four years old.
The misletoe proper II q native OF
Europe. especially OF England and
Normandy. In olden times II was con.
sldered q sacred plant. because It's
berries grow in clusters OF three
emblematic- Of the Trinity. The an.
cient Celts used to hang sprigs of
mistletoe around their necks as q
safeguard from witches. The maid
that was not caught and kissed under
the mistletoe at Christmas would not
be married within the year. 80 the
tradition goes. According to the old
rules the ceremony was not properly
performed unless berry was pulled
on after each kiss and presented to
the maiden. When all the berries
were gone the privilege ceased.

PSYCHOLOGY OF DRESSING UP
Fancy Dress Balls Supply Cravings of Ignored Nature, According
 to Observer.

The extraordinary vogue of ths fancy dress ball of late years-espe- cially when 1t is one of monster di. mensioDs-is one of the straws which show which way the wind of national character is blowing.
 For 1t is not only the young and curly who throng these gay scenes, but serious people of middle age. of exalted position, and even of advanced years.
 I fancy this rage for dressing up" appeals to something profound and in- stinctiye in human nature. If you look with obseTyant eyes at the tray estied figures around you. you will discover that the dress chosen is sym bolical of a secret aspiration. a thwarted desire, an unacknowledged ambition.
 Thus, the young man who must cen sit on an office stool year in, year out, will brazen it as a pirate, or in the sauciest of cavalry uniforms.
 The British matron will put on the founces and languOrs of the Travi- sta, or the striped stockings and mob cap of a soubrette.
 So, also, you shall see ladies of high degree scantily attired as Bacchsntes. and leading Dionysian dances. wniS> the soldier or lawyer will impersonate Pierrot, and girls of fiighty manners in private life appear, with downcast lids. as Puritans or nuns.
 Perhaps some such outlet for poor human nature, which is squeezed into grooves for which it is often i'll fitted, is kinG of safety valve which ought to be encouraged.
 Nature Is said to take terrible re- yenges on those who steadily ignore her The putting on of motley is an innocent form Of occasionally obeying her behests London Sketch.

HOPES RULE FRANCE.

BRUSSELS, July 19.-Many were the congTatulatory messages received today by Prince Victor Napoleon. the BOnapartist pretender, on the occa- sion of his fiftieth birthday anniver- sary. Despite the stories printed from time to time Of his renunciation of all claim to the French throne,
 there are countless numbers Of peo- pie who firmly believe that the prince will yet become Napoleon ". Of late his star has appeared to be in the ascendant His marriage 10 Princess Clementine of Belgium two years ago caused a substantial rise in the pretender's stock. Princess Clementine inherited. many millions from her father, King Leopold. To this fact is probably due much of the enthusiasm that has since been dis played amongt the supporters of the Napoleonic cause. :

Cooks Accidental Discovery.

One of the best ways of cooking po' tatOes was accidentally discovered through the unpunctuaiity of train. When the line frcm Paris to St. Ger main was opened the first train car ried an official party for whom lunch was ordered.
 The meal was fixed for noon, and shortly before that hour the potatoes were put on to fry. A few minutes Pfterward a U.essage came that the train would probably be delayed for an hour, so the potatoes were taken off the fire, but left in the pan. Then came a second message. Train just arriving" and the potatoes were hur yie1ly put back to fry again.
 When the party sat down to lunch the potatoes were brought on with the steak Each chip was then found to be blown out like small. crisp. gold en balloon, to the delight of the guests: The cook. without knowing it. had invented pommes de terrs soul. fees.

MINES
 SOLD FOR DEBT
Albert Hefern, Former President Gets All Prop
 erty on Judgment

Undersheriff Welsh yesterday sold the last of the property belongine to the Heffern Mining property in this city. The day before the real estate and mining claims of the com. pany was sold in Tombstone. the sale yesterday including some per. sonal effects of the company.
 All the property of the company has been purchased at various public sale by Albert Heffern to satisfy a judgment in his favor for something oven ten thousand dollars.
 Mir, neffeTn stated yesterday that while he was now in possession of the old company, of which he was the original promoter and president for three successive terms, still the company would have six months in which to make redemption.
 The troubles of the Heffern com. pany began when a number of the stockholders and directors. controll, ing a majority of the stock become dissatisfied with the management of President Albert Heffern. This fric- ton finally grew until Heffern was deposed from the management. Then he brought suit for what the com pany was owing him. The suit went practically by default, as the new managers offered no defense in court and did not even appear at the trial. according to Mr. Heffern.
 Tn case there is no redemption of the property during the next six months it is my purpose after the expiration of that time to re-OrganiZe the company and again start work on the property where something like one hundred thousand dollars have been spent in sinking shafts, running crosscuts and installing ma chinery. In connection with this property we have one of the best water storage propositions and op- portunities to be found in the south west and I was just ready to start interest in this enterprise when the trouble arose in the old company, said MT. Heffern this morning.
 Since Heffern withdrew from the company tl,ere has been only a lit tle work done, but he declares that the development is sufficient to show anyone that the future of the Heffern mines, including more than fifty claims with millsites and wat CT rights. is one that will attract all the capital required for placing among the producers of the state.
 Mir. Henern stated that in the re- organization of the company he in- tended to protect all the stockholders in the old company. who had remained loyal to him and his interests.-DouS- las International.

Old writers had no idea that the brain had anything to do with the mind. They associated the mind with the heart or with other organs of the body, doubtless because these organs are moved or affected by mental ac- ton.
