1t is officially stated that the rebel
losses were three killed and twelve

fell in the mountain; and in the deep
defiles and arroyos.
Among the slain was Campa'S Is

Work a Watch Does.

It is a matter of everyday occur renee for person to say to his watchmaker:
 Here is a watch which you sold me some ten years ago. It has al- ways gone well until just lately, when 1t has taken to stopping without any apparent cause"
 The people who speak in this way little think of the amount of work a watch has performed in this space of time and might be astonished at the following figures:
 In ten years, which includes two leap years, and consequently total of S,652 days, the hour hand has made 7,304 and the minute hand S7,64S revolutions. The end of an average minute hand travels more than 10,S20 yards-more than six miles, The sec. ond hand has made 5,25S,S revolu. tions, and it's extremity has traversed on the dial a distance of upwards of 123 miles. The escape wheel has made 52,5S8,S00 revolutions, and as it has fifteen teeth, it has come 7SS, ,S32,- 900 times in contact with each pallet. The balance has made 1,577, ,644, ,OO0 vibrations, and any point on the out side,o of the rim has covered a distance of about 50,000 miles, and that is equal to twice the circumference ol the earth.

WASHINGTON.-It has been claimed " that one can find about anything desired in Washington, from armadil- los to zithers, but what resident of this fair city ever suspected that there Is, almost in its very midst, a peace full farming community, the residents of which have perfectly fresh eggs for breakfast every day in the week with never care whether the market price Is 50 cents dozen or not?
 And who ever thought, that within the shadow of the dome of the capitol, there Is community of 2,O0O souls, to which even the omnipresent moving picture theater has never percolated? {? Who would believe that in a locality not far removed from Washington, and peopled by Washingtonians, the TO- mantle straw ride still exists, and the historic town hall is the center of so- cial activity? And that the quilting bee is still an accepted method of passing the long winter evenings Where is the Utopia, where taffy pulls and lantern parties are still an accept ed means of entertainment, is asked.

What Alaskan poas Eat.

Dogs in Alaska, when on the trail, are fed once a day, after the days work is done. They are never fed in the morning, for if they were they would be lazy all day, or, what is more probable, would vomit up their break fast soon after they got on the trail. Dogs to work well, must be well fed, and it is false economy to underfeed a dog. They are fed on variety of foods, including rice, tallow, cornmeal, and fish. If rice or cornmeal forms a part of their food it must be cooked. Some men prefer to feed their dogs on bacon or fish, thus doing away with cooking. Cooked food is cheaper and more fattening than raw food, but the question as to whether dogs can work better on cooked or uncooked food is one that will never be settled so long as there are 'mushers" to argue the questionable Wide World Magazine.

 "I got in here from Chicago We'd nesday night in a box car. It was mighty cold, too.
 'I came down town early and start, ed out in hunt of work. There was nothing doing, and at noon I sat down to rest in one of the shelter houses on the square. I picked up a paper and read where they was paying 10 cents a hundred for dead flies.
 'T said to myself. Here is where Harry sleeps between the sheets this evening"
 "T went to a saloon and asked if they would allow me to catch flies in the front window. They told me to get out, and I tried a butcher shop with the same result.
 'T then went to two or three of the market houses. Luck was better, and I had a whole handful of flies when I hunted up the city hall. It was hard work, though.
 T still thought 1t might be a joke, or that perhaps the offer was good only for children, so I decided to ask a few questions before made com plete fool of myself.

MAN PLUNeES TO HIS DEATH
Headforemost Down the Side of Mount Lowe.

Pasadena, Cal.-Miss Clara Rusch- haupt, a young Texas woman, who lately has been residing at No. 528 Wall street, Los Angeles, the other afternoon stood at a dizzy point on the east trail between Alpine Tavern and the summit of Mount Lowe and watched her uncle, man seventy-five years of age, plunge headforemost to his death 300 feet down the steep side of the mountain.
 The dead man was John Marlau of No. 512 Crocker street, Los Angeles. He was unmarried. Marlau and Miss Ruschhaupt, with several friends, had climbed to the summit, . distance of two miles from the hotel, which is situated at the end of the car line, and were returning to the hotel when the accident happened While the others fingered to enjoy the view af- forded from a shoulder of the peak, a place where the declivity is almost perpendicular, the old man hastened on and had gained a considerable start when they saw him suddenly reel and pitch of of the trail. It is be- lieved that he was overcome by heart failure.
 Whatever the cause of his fall, he went head first over the edge and down the side of the mountain, his head striking a stone at the bottom of the canyon.
 Miss Ruschhaupt and her compan- ions were so far away that consider able time elapsed before they reached him, and then they took their own lives in their hands when they made the perilous descent. They found Marlau unconscious, but still breath ing. He died soon afterward.

E EW YORK.-To the unspeakable 4V amazement of James Ford, vet eran cab driver, his veteran horse, Sarsfield Aboo, nineteen years old, ran away the other afternoon. The Amazement of Ford was shared by his fares, MT. and Mrs. William Haynes and MT. and Mrs. F. c. Jones of Slatington, Pa, who had engaged Ford and his rig at the Liberty street ferry because of the demure appear ance and deliberate gait of the afore- said Sarsfield Aboo.
 Incidental to the runaway the wis itors from Slatington, Pa, were the exposure of all eyes and the assail- ants of all ears along Fifth avenue from Eighth street to Fourteenth street At the latter point Policemen Delehanty and Harrington leaped upon Sarsfield Aboo and bore him to the pavement to the utter destruction of their new uniforms and the accumula- tion of bruises, sprains and con- tusions which gained them the unso- licited sick leave of a department surgeon.

gallantry, and statesmen forgot their weighty burdens in order that they might enjoy to the full "some music, accompanied by dancing" as the dash, ing viscountess worded her invita- tions.
 At midnight supper was served-a Maryland supper of the sort partaken in the days when dancers wore knee brooches, with plentitude of powder and beauty patches.
 It is chagrin at being left out of such delightful parties as this, per chance, that has occasioned the preva- lent custom in certain circles of Wash ington society of boldly requesting a bid of the hostess, when it becomes noised abroad that festivity of some sort is pending. In the very begin ming, perhaps, 1t originated with the eerfulacquiescence of the mistress of the White House to the numerous re- quests for an extra card for house guests to the state functions at the executive mansion. Of late, however. 1t has spread beyond official circles to a deplorable degree, until nowadays the hostess who Is planning any priv ate entertainment of any sort must exercise the utmost tact and dipli- macy to keep her invitation list within the bounds of her limitations.
