Thnt lonoly Rrnnitn pnlrn in the denort, rlnliiK upon tho extreme point of n tree less promontory, will long bo pointed oat as the (jravo of one of the moot fa mous of American prospectors. Ed SehlrrTelln'i one prput strike yielded him fnlly a third of 11,000,000. At various times in his adventurous rnreer he plodded pninstukiiiRly over the wildest portions of tho Korky moun tains nnd Hiorrns, he visited Alaska, Mexico, South America and Booth Africa, hut never njinin found such u mine. When he died, his fortune, nt one tlmo snid to be over f iiOO.OUO, hnd greatly decreased by rpnson of bad in yestments and cotly expedition. The story of tho finding of Tomb stone, thnt briefly famous Arizouiim mining city, has been told in mnuy different ways, until it is fast brrnm iuR one of the most attractive of Pacific const myths. The simple facts are that late iu the seventies tho two Bchieffclin brothers and Dick Gird were prospect ing, sometimes together, sometimes separately, iu various districts of Ari zona and New Meiieo. It was a time of terrible Indian outbreaks, and the Apaches were on the warpath, killing lonely miners and prospectors, attack ins; the stage coaches and ruunlng off cattle. Ed Schioffelin finally wandered into the neighborhood of a disputed claim, the Bronco, where eight men bad been shot in various attempts to de cide its ownership, and was hired at J day to sit on a hilltop and look out for Indians. One day, while bunting up astray horse, the hitherto unsuccess ful prospector stumbled into what was afterward called Tombstone Qulch and found some copper stained rock on what became the Tough Nut mine. This he sent to Gird for an assay, and soon after sent ore from tho Lucky Cuss. When development was begun, thin veiu in granite widened, and promised immense riches. The claims were sold for very large sums, and when the Apaches were driven out capitalists poured money in to the district But the mines did not justify expectations. Tombstone was very far from being a secoud Couietock. The unlucky Broncho never paid a dol lar. The SchiclTellu and Gird claims yielded for a time bnt soon rnn out, and the camp sank into decay. The first time I met SchicfTelin, that most typical of western prospectors, was about six years ago. After bearing some of his picturesque prospector yarns I told him about the various treasure expeditions to Coos island and the legends which had oaused these ex citements. He seized npon the glitter ing tale of diamond hilted swords, bags of doubloons and bars of gold with tho faith of a child and at once offered to fit out a schooner for the islands and to pay my expenses as well as give me third of the treasure if I would go along to repeat the legend as often as desired. He bad prospected for almost every thing, be said, except pirate treasures, and he wanted those diamond hilted words to "put in his parlor." I did not know at that time the story about his purlor. Having bought a $7,000 house in the town of Alameda, he kept several tons of quarts in one comer, on top of which his old pros pecting tools, burro's saddle and camp outfit reposed when not in use. I never heard what bis wife thought of this unique furniture, but there is no doubt that the diamond hilted swords would have rested peacefully on the quarts pile, and it was with sincere regrets that I acknowledged to him my entire lack of faith in the picturesque Spanish legend of Coos island. Sohieffelin's Alaska experiences have long deserved a chronicler. He fitted ont aa expedition years ago and pros pected over vast areas of that region. His little steamboat ascended the broad Yukon, and the party wintered in the interior. One man, since dead, Charles Farciot, remained behind when the steamer returned to prospect further. When he desired to return, he built one of the most remarkable little steam en gines ever seen on the coast. It was made from a few pieces of pipe and some old cans picked np about the de serted Schieffelin camp, and his only tools wore a file and a pocket knife, with a stone for hammer. He put this rude little engine in the stern of a small row boat left behind for bis use and teamed 1,000 miles without an acci dent. The outfit was afterward on exhi bition in San Francisco and excited the astonishment and iudeed the profound admiration of the best machinists, who agreed iu saying that Farciot's mechan ical genius was of a very high order.

TIME'S CREA8E8. Vha Oriaia and Pror f the WrlnklMt on tha Fane. We all hopome interested sooner or Inter iu the subject of wrinkles. They are tho "Irreparable outrage" of Ra cine, but although they are so univer sal few hnve endeavored to explain their origin nnd progress. Wrinkle aro pro duced in the first iustancn by tho fre quent repetition of some muscular con traction or by sickness. They are lint merely superficial, but appear when tho rpidermis is removed, mid urn found not only in tho fare, but nil over tlio body. They do not run in any regular direction, and no law has been found Including nil their directions. It has been said that tho life history of n man cull be written from his wrinkles, but physiology hnrdly agrees in this in stance, for It has still to be proved that a general's wrinkles differ from those of a physician's, or a laborer's from it lawyer's. A mmi dors uot always or pvpii generally curry about a faithful autobiography in his face. Although no part of the body is free from them they visit chiefly the face, particularly round the eyes and lips. They run iu all di rections horizontal, vertical and oblique, straight, curved and crossed. Going lu tlio sun with tho face IiimiiIH ricutly covered brings them on preiiui turely, but tbey aro in every case nor mal ut 40 or even earlier. " Vortical wrinkles between tho pyr come quickly to men who study or wor ry themselves. This ran readily be im agined. Tfle eyebrows coutrnot natural ly when iu deep thought Grief or wor ry produces the same action, which, when repeated frequeutly, produces u fold in the skin, marking emotion un dergone ninny times. Between those and tho straight lines on the forehead, al rwidy mentioned, come tho arched wrin kles of the forehead, found above the root of the nose. Those often toll i ' long nnd painful mental torture. Tin y arise from n cruel physical suffering oi of still more great development of tin vertical wrinkle uud the resistance vi the skin above. Tho crow's feet mark the passing ut the fortieth year aud are characterized by furrow which divergo from the ex ternal angles of the eyes in all direc tions, like tbe claws of a bird, from which thoy are named. The wrinkles of the nose, which descend from the nostril down each side of the mouth, are, perhaps, tbe first to appear. There furrows are created in laughing aud mastication. A simple smile is snlll oieut to produce them, so it is uot sur prising that the repetition of the com monest acta should soon be graveu on tbe face. They are also hereditary. 'I'll wrinkles of tbe cheeks and chin follow the oval of the face and are caused by diminution of the fatty substance un der the skin, which then falls into folds. Tbe small wrinkles which form a network in the lower parts of the beek near the ear have the some origin and only appear in old age. Those found in the upper eyelids huiI sometimes in tbo lower, which givo the eyes au air of fatigue, are tbe results of bard living, grief or worry. New York Ledger. KNOW THEIR POWERS. Tha Ktaraal Womanly la tho Rough Girl, of Mow York. In the girls of the rougher tenement house district the eteiuul womanly wears such a disguise of the eternal gamin that it cannot always be recog nized. Their pertness aud sauoiuess ure only sharpened by their precocity aud their tomboy habits of street Arabia. A reporter recently had occasion to visit lower Washington street to ascertuiu the facts regarding the murder of a boy down there. He was obtaining his in formation front the boys of the neigh borhood, who might bavo been play mates of the dead youth. A circle of them, together with three or four girl of IS or 10 years, was gathered around him. A big, bulking youth about SO year old arrogated to hi in self the place of spokesman. He was evidently the tj raut, tbe bully of the street, a young "Bill the Brute," who bad not yet ac quired a wife to beat and was conse quently an objeot of gjont interest to these misses, whose skirts bad not yet grown dowu to their ankles. With his big, harsh voioa he silenced every inter ruption of his tale, saying: "Shut up there I I'm telliu this yarn." Of course thia adjuration, which forms a part of the ordinary courtesy of the neighborhood, did not quiet the girl. They chaffed him and the report er and giggled until at last tbe speaker aid to the reporter: "Don't mind them. They're no oount They're nothin but girls." "Of course he'll mind us, smorty," instantly retorted one of the girls. " We's the mekin'a of ladies." It was the eternal womanly of street Arabia. New York Tribune. Da Maariar Horolnoa, When Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett Was first presented to Du Maurier, who was, in point of fact, rather an under sized man, she exclaimed : ' 'Oh, I am so glad that you are not six feet tall I" "But why?" asked Du Maurier. "Because for these mnuy months," replied Mrs. Burnett, who is consider ably below medium height, "you have simply denied ns the right to live. Yon have made, us feel that a woman who is not six feet tall baa not the right to exist." - "Oh, that is only a trick of minel" laughed Du Maurier.
