LIKE PIECE OF FARMLAND
Remarkable Cave That Was DiseoV-
cred by Merest Accident in a
Mine IN Arizona.

A blast in the Shattuck mine In
Arizona, set for the purpose of bring
ing down ore, was responsible for the
discovery Of a remarkable cavern, now
known as Shattuck cave, which has
yielded unusual mineral specimens,
some of the finest of which have re-
Gently been added to the collection at
the Michigan College of Mines. When
the miner who had been working In
that part of the 3O0-fOOt level returned
with the night shift he found a great
opening that reacher farther than his
light could penetrate. Looking up
ward, he could see tiny lights flashing,
and, In the belief that they were stars,
he ran back to the shaft and declared
that he had blasted a hole clear
through to the surface. On investi-
eating, the mine official found that the
blast had opened a great circular cav
ern 345 feet in diameter and 175 feet
high, which seemed like a piece of
fairyland. On the roof myriads of crys-
tails reflected the lights of the miners
lamps. The walls, the roof, and the
floor were covered with great clusters
of crystals, and near the center of the
cavern mass of stalactites, 40 feet
long, hung from the ceiling like q
great chandelier. For the most part
the crystals were pure white, but, in
places where the filtering waters had
contained iron and copper, great trans
parent stalactites and stalagmites
some ruby-red, others a clear emerald
green or azure blue, added to the beau
ty of the scene.

From one viewpoint, yes; from an
other, no.
The working conditions of laborers
might be more ideal, 'tis true' but you
cannot expect too great an improve

Are they not improving each year
Are not working hours becoming
shorter and pay larger for those who
make the necessary effort to pertec'
themselves along their certain line?
If man is unwilling to give the

more valuable to his employer should

MARRIED MANS MANY DUTIES
Some Things It Would Be Well for
the Youth Who Is Contemplating
Matrimony to Consider.

In an article entitled 'HOw I Made
a Good Husband of My Son." the
writer lays down some rules for
course of domestic training for bache-
lors who are thinking Of being mar

states.
Besides heating the house." he says,
"a man should have a thorough theo-
retical and a simple practical knowl-
edge of plumbing, so he can be beyond
the mercy of an ignorant or dishonest
plumber. The upkeep of all the furni-
ture is your province; you should be
able to replace caster automatically,
or in your sleep put on the pull OF a
bureau drawer.
"Of course he will not call in a
painter when floors or woodwork need
painting or a man to replace panes
of glass or put up shelves, or any OF
the smaller tinkering around the house.
any more than his wife should hire q
woman to darn the stockings or dc
the small mending.
"One of the most important duties
is to see that each window and dool
is perfectly screened. He should keeI
all the shades in proper order and see
that the windows work easily ant
smoothly, also keep the locks of al
the doors in perfect order. He shOult
have a general knowledge Of build
ing materials, so he will be able Il
advise his carpenter. Naturally, too
he will keep the knives in proper con
dition, and no young man should wal
until he is married to learn to carve.

Disaster Of Nepotlsm.

Another name for nepotism is pull"
It puts the right man in the wrong
place, where he can wreck enterprises.
1t also discourages other young men
because they see that rival has an
opportunity merely because of rela-
tionship, not because of merit. This
evil is particularly strong in old en-
terprises that run through the second
and third generations. A man starts
a concern, hands it down to two or
three sons who vary in ability, and
by the time their sons have got good

An old Indian named Neyharper,
who lived in that part Of Oklahoma
that used to be called the Indian Ter
ritory, used to tell his white friends
this story of the strange but terrible
revenge that bison once took on the
hunter who had wounded it in the
chase:
"When I was boy most Of our food
was brought in by the buffalo hunters.
Killing these large beasts was hard
and dangerous work, but it was very
exciting. Once the hunters went out
after herd, each riding his best pony.
One, who had attacked large bull,
failed to strike a vital part with his
arrows, and pursued the beast across
the prairie.
Suddenly in the mad race hunter
and prey came to buffalo path that
had been washed down by the heavy
rains till it was two or three feet deep.
The horse stumbled, threw the man
into the ditch, and then dashed of,
leaving him helpless. The buffalo
saw the accident, turned, and tried
desperately to gore the hunter. But
the ditch was too narrow, and so the
buffalo reached down and with its long
tongue began to lick the mans bare
back. Every stroke of that rough
tongue tore the skin and flesh pain
fully. The Indian could only bear It,
for if he tried to escape he would
meet death at the horns of the en-
ragged beast. Before his companions
found him and killed the buffalo, II
had licked the flesh from his back
down to the bone, and the poor mar
bore the scars of that terrible revenge
to his grave.-Youth's Companion.

familiar with these details, for, with
scarcely glance about, he led me
into this recess, where we stood con-

our faces, and revealed an open win

as he turned again and faced me.

know what 1t was he said. But when
the other answered, tapping on the
desk with some instrument, knew the
second speaker to be La Barre, and
leaned back just far enough to gain

drapery. He sat at the desk, his back
toward us, while his companion, red
faced, heavily moustached man, in uni
form Of the Rifles, stood opposite, one
arm on the mantel over the fireplace.
His expression was that of amused
interest.
"You saw the lady?' he asked.
