Most people know that the. famous
naturalist and writer, John Muir, left
q substantial fortune behind him when
he died, but few perhaps are aware
that during the ten yearsahe dedicated
altogether to business he was known
as the hardest man at a bargain in the
whole Of California. las bargainer,"
writes Arno bosch, John Muir was
pure Scotch. Muir had the biggest and
most dependable supply Of Tokay
grapes in California. The San Fran
cisco jobbers bought his yield to meet
their regular shipments to the north
and east There were at that time
four big fruit jobbing houses in San
Francisco, and they tell tales yet in
Commission row of the bargains John
Muir drove with them. He was never
known to name price first. Whether
he waS selling grapes or land, he tried
first to find out what the other man
was willing to pay. But he always
had a price in mind, and he got it. It
made no difference what was the mar
ket price Of grapes. He made the job
bers pay what he expected"

Escapes In War.

Until war ceases, which will be the
greatest miracle Of all. it will always
be the exhibition ground Of miracles.
How can a bullet puncture mans
coat behind and before or pierce his
boot and sock and be gravely shaken
out of both without wounding him?
And what mysterious channel does this
human body contain which leads a
bullet dexterously around the heart, a
hairs breadth from the seat Of life, yet
never rending tia phenomenon vouch-
ed for by more than one army surgeon ?
Shells have burst thunderously between
the very legs Of soldiers and left them
still soldiers. Shells Of two inches in
diameter have passed through legs
and arms without shattering the bone
or bursting at the impact, although
there appears to be literally no room
for such a merciful performance. In
fact, history Of the escapes in war
would be wild reading even after a
course of Observation-Disclosures.

Lighting London Streets.

In 1416 citizens were obliged to hang
out candles on dark nights to illumi-
nate the streets. This was enforced
by an act Of parliament in 1861. In
1854 Edward Heming, the inventor of
oil lamps, made daring offer, which
was that for a proper consideration he
would engage to place light before
every tenth door on dark nights from
6 p. m. till midnight. His proposition
was accepted, and he was given the
exclusive right to light the streets as
indicated for term of years. But the
scheme provoked great uproar among
the people. Some of them enthusiast
tically applauded it and hailed Heming
as the greatest benefactor the city ever
had. Thousands of other furiously de-
nounced him and his scheme and de-
manded that the contract he Cancelled.
Heming held on. and in time the peo-
pie became reconciled to having the
streets lighted. In 1876 the city gov.
eminent assumed the responsibility.

TO INVESTIGATE
POSSIBILITIES
OF Fairgrounds

Among the important orders which
have been placed on file for action at
the city government meeting Of Tuesday
evening is one instructing the committee
on parks to investigate the question OF
establishing a municipal playground or
Fairgrounds and reporting to the May
meeting. There are also two orders call
ing for immediate street work, one for
lowering the grade of Center street and
the other for lowering the grade of VIM
ter street. This work needs to be done
badly and it is probable that the orders
will be passed without question. There
is also an order giving all members of
the police force one day per month with
pay. something that will doubtless be
appreciated by the men on the force If
it becomes a law. A new departure is
to be found in orders instructing the i'm
portant committees to ascertain what
work is called for in their departments
and report at the May meeting of the
city government with recommendations
as to what should be done this year.
There is the usual grist of orders for new
sidewalks, new lights, new gravel for
streets and SO forth, which will all
doubtless land before the committee TO
which they apply and be taken up in
connection with the reports to be issued
by those committees. The meeting will
doubtless be very busy one and will
last until a late hour.

WeIl Put.

A man who kept a roadhouse in
Rhode Island was called upon to tes-
tify in a suit as to the number of cubic
yards handled in some rock removing
and filling in of lots in the vicinity.
Naturally enough, he showed very
little knowledge Of the matter. his idea
Of a cubic yard being so indefinite that
it was suspected he hardly compre-
hended the term. In order to facilitate
his understanding the judge said:
Listen, witness! Assuming this ink
stand to be three feet across the top
this way and three feet that way and
three feet in height, what would you
call it?'
"Well, your honor" said the witness,
without hesitation, II should say it
was some inkstand." New York

Coburn Classical Institute will open
Tuesday morning for the spring term.
Principal Harthorn and the teachers
Of the school are looking forward to
very successful term. The most Of
the old students are back ready to re-
sumo their studies and a number Of
new faces will be seen in the class
rooms when studies begin. The base,
ball prospects are also coming in for
their share of attention and there Is
every reason to believe that Cobeurn
will again have winning team. The
prospects are SO good that Hebron and
some Of the other schools Of the State
are crying baby and refusing to play
the Coburn boys, Hebron withdrawing
from the Colby Junior League and in
that way breaking 1t up. However. the
Coburn manager has been able to find
a sufficient number of teams in the
State who are not afflicted with cold
feet SO that he has arranged a first
class schedule. The team will be
coached by Instructor Bagnall and will
get out on the diamond as soon as pos
sible.

armed His Opponents.


In his book why Men Pray" Dr..
Charles Lewis Slattery retells one Of
Henry Drummond'S old stories to illus.
trate his point that prayer produces a
sense of human fellowship.
zone Sunday night on an ocean
steamer a man spoke of hymn which
had just been sung as having for him
peculiarly sacred associations. He was
in the Confederate army in the Amer.
lean war between the states and was
ordered at one time to lonely sentry
duty. AS the night wore on he felt
his danger. and to keep up his courage
he began to sing
Jesus, lover OF my soul,
and after uttering the great prayer Of
this hymn he was comforted and felt
quite safe.
"A strange expression came over the
face of fellow passenger on the
ship. IT, he said, was in the Union
army that night and had been sent out
with a party Of scouts. We saw SOL
itary sentry, and my men had their
rifles leveled to fire, but just then we
heard the clear notes ringing out In

Cover my defenseless head
With the shadow of thy wing,
