A Mry of Karly Petroleum Days.
CuiooT Kobinton related an inciden
of the early history of the oil regions
recentlyhich may give the children of
the present generation a vague idea of
the magnitude of ihe transactions which
took place when oil was S and S'J a
barrel, Bi.d poor people gained acorn
petency by scooping it off the surface of
creeks, cr gathered It from pool
around the tanks which hadlovertlowed
The story as told by Mr. UoLiuson was
as follows :
"Within a month after Colonel Urate
bad struck the first petroleum ever
brought to the surface in America by
mean of drilling, my father and the fa
ther of niT relatives ht le bought a tract
of land c-inprising 1 20 acres adjoin
ing the farm on which the Drake well
was located for J3"0.(0. Not long af
terward I was sitting In their flke one
dav I remember it as distinctly aa
though it happened only yesterday
when an ag"i.t fur an eastern syndicate
wa'ked in and i fTored ?00,00'J for the
1.20 acres. Tb owners looked at him
rather ireredulou'y for a moment, bui
Before they could spe.ik ha had counted
out on the table .?"kkj.IX)u in cash ar,d
drafts, which he offered for a deed of
the tr.ict. I was appalled by the sight
of the pile, tut my fatht-r.aud the f.ith
er!of these gentlemen retired for con
sultation and decided ih.it if the prop
erty wm worth ?r.0,( it was worth
Sl.OKM'm, and the offer was refused.
Their hHrs still own th land, and now
it is valued at SJO.COO. Where they
could have got dollars we could scarcely
get nickel. Thus you can see what
seemirg'y fair stories could be lolu of
these d.iys. They are almost incompie
hens'.ble to the present gecefation, but
they were red hot facts," and a sigh of
regret that the oiTer had noi teen ac
cepted went round the circle.
Um Inlurky Djj.
I tell you what it Is, eaid a Brooklyn
man, I am firmly convinced that every
Ba has his particular days for good
and bad luck. Mouday is my unlucky
d.iy. I h ive been watching it for twen
ty years, and nothing can abate me
in thia belief. I never begin an enter
te rprlse, no matter how trivial, or start
on any journey ou that day. Therefore
I make Monday an rff day and do noth.
ing but rotter around the house. Even
these lit:Je things go wrong. Take the
record uf last Mauday, a fair average,
and be convinced :
Smashed finger while nailing board
on fence.
Fell down cellar stairs with coal scut
tle. Fell over wheelbarrow while carry
lag step-. adder.
Sat down on chair where children
bad been pulling taffy.
Gat swindled by peddler.
Got tbumo pinched in gate.
Dropped smoothing-iron on foot.
Baby got in yard and was butted by
a at range goat.
Tax man called.
While eating suppsr square yard of
ceiling tell on the dining table.
Went to bed to escape further disas
ter. Had nightmare. Thought I was
falling from top of Eiffel Tower. Fell
out of bed and broke arm. Looked at
clock and saw It lacked fifteen minutes
of midnight. Laid still till clock struck
twelve. Was afraid if I moved before
Tuesday was nshered in I would have
broken my neck.
Yes, indeed, concluded the man,
Monday H my nnlncfcy day, ar.d I ap
proich it with feeling" akin to tenor.

An adventure in CalllornU.
"I shall never forret an adventure I
had some years ago while in Califor
nia," said a newspaper writer the other
day.
' I was at L-s Angeles and with five
boon and adventuresome companions
determined to go to a place called
"Portuguese Bnd." situated on a
promontory about twenty-fire miles
awaj. It loomed np at least 800 feet
above a little waiting station on the Pa
cific coast. We smarted out on a Friday
morning in Sp'ember to reach the
"Bnd." AU were jolly and never
dreamed of the privations In store for
us. The first ten miles were all right.
Then came the tug which was simply
awful. Friday ni;ht found ns penned
In by towering bills. Sturday all day
long we climbed and fought the rugged
cliffs, and when night camo we had
made less than twi miles. Not a drop
of water had we seen since our start.
All men snffered greatly, as did the
horses. Siturday night was passed in
sleepless misery. The next morning we
were as lank, lean and parched as skel
etons and yet no prospect of anythirg
to slake our terrible thirst. All fore
noon Sunday we searched in vain. I
struck off into the mountains and
wended my way np in a deep canyon
whose towering walls eeemed to pierce
the very skies. Finally 1 got way ud
the deep crack, ah it were, in the moun
tains, when I plunged in'o a den or
white owls. There seemed to be mil
lions of the things, with their ghostlv,
fluttering wings. I was frightened al
most Into a lit befDre I got out of the
terrible place.
"I was gone nearly all forenoon, bnt
found do water. My companions bad
searched high and low for me. When
I got back I was exhausted and com
pelled to lie down. I had corsiderab'e
money with me, some of It being $20
gold piece. I would willingly bave
given S100 for a drink of water. Bat
no. not a drop could I ge with all the
gold I might command. It seemed that
I suffered the most. My companions
carried me the remainder of the after
noon, and along toward evening, when
the great sinking sun'wasfshootlng Its
lurid rays across the Pacific, we czme
to Portuguese Bend and found water.
Oh. what bliss ! I never was so hapyv
In all inv life before. No man Knows

orthern Lights.
Auroras are most frequently seen in
the cold and in the norhtern lemprate
zone, rarely in the'southeru temper.ta
Mif, andi hardly ever in the tropics.
The blaces where they most frequently
appear lie tetween the sixtieth and
seventieth degrees of north lal'.'.ude. In
the form of ac oval, they include the
geographical as well as the; magnetic
north p le. which is found on the pe
n!nular B.othia Fclix. Iceland, the
Kara Sa, Northern Siberia, Bering
Strait. Hudson Biv, Labrador, and
Greenland. Northern lights have been
seen as far down as the twentv-lirth
degrenorth latitude. In .full splen
dor, however, lhy may ba reo only in
the northern polar regions to the seven
ty fifth degree of Jatitnie. Here na
ture is displayed in all Ler grandeur.
When tto sun Las set, and the gray

and then sink tack, to begin anew the
wondrous play. The most beautiful

F.kama. All explanations which bave

Falling in Lore Love.
' Falling in love," as modern biology
teaches na to lelieve, is nothing mere
than thelatest, highest, and 'most in
volved exemplifiealion in the human
race of that almost universal selective
process nich Mr. Dirwin has enabled
nato recogniz-. throughout the whole
1 ts series of the animal kinzdom. The
butterfly that circles and eddies In bis
aerial dance aronnd his observant mate
is endeavoring to charm her by the del
icacy of his coloring and to overcome
her coyness by the display of his skill.
The peacock that struts about in impe
rial pilde. under the eye of his attentive
hens, is really contributing to th fu
ture beauty and strength of his race fev
collecting to himself a har?m, through
whom he bands down to rosttrity the
valuable qualities which have gained
the admiration of his mates in his own
persan.
Mr. Wallace has shown that to be
beautiful is to be efficient ; and sexual
selection is thus, as it were, a mere lat
eral form of natural selection a survi
val of the fittest In the guise of mutual
attractiveness and mutual adaptability,
producing on the average a maximum
of the best proprieties of the race in the
resulting offspring. I must not dwell
Lere upon this aspect of the case, be
cause it is one with which, since the
publication of the Decent or Man."
all the world has been sufficiently fa
miliar.

An Offended Cat's Keren ge.
Cats bare feelinga like the rest of ua.
say a a ladv writer io a New York paper,
and show themselves in much the tame
way sometimes. Some years before I
rot the cat I now have, we had an un
usually large Tom. with yellow patches
of fur on a white background. lie was
a great favorite with the children, es
pecially with the baby, who was never
contented unless Tom sat on a chair be
eide him at meal-times and had a share
of everything the baby himself ate.
One day the children received a pres
ent of a little black-and tan dog, and
they were so delighted with their new
pet that Tom was left quite In the cold.
When dinner-time came be got up in
his accustomed place bee'de the baby,
expecting to be fea. But baby would
bave none of him ; nothing but the new
pet would do. and so the dog occupied
the place of honor, and Tom bad to be
thumped to make bim get down.
It was an insult that called for b'ood.
and watching bia opportunity after din
ner, Tom pitched into that dog, and was
giving bim an awful licking when the
children with shouts and Dlows fell on
the cat and beat bim eonndly til) be fled.
When the Dovelty of tLe new pet be
gan to wear off. however, as it did a few
days ago. inquiries were made for Tom
Again. But oo Tom could be found.
Then it became known that nobody bad
seen him since the children beat him
away from the dog. Tom was evident
ly lost. Perhaps tbe beating had broken
some of bis bones and he had crawled
away to die. Great was the wailing.
but no cat could b found. Two or
three days after that I pasted a neigh
bor's house, and there, inside tbe sash,
seated on tbe window sill, washing his
face in the sunshine, I Paw tbe blg'yel
and white epoia of our Tom. He bad
deserted ua and found a new borne. I
told the children and they went and got
him. but do coaxing or petting could

hour after they let him bave his liberty.

An Indian's Penciled .Speech.
In talkiDg about Indians and tbeir
native eloquence, John Fairchild, the
lawyer, said he-:,eaw Old Wolf, the
Cheyenne chief, make an affective
speech with a lead pencil during a visit
by Bishop Brnndel at Ashland. O'.d
Wolf took the pencil and drew a straight
line and;said : "Cheyennes straight."
Then be drew another straight Hoe
and said: "B ack robe straight." mean
in tbe Indian bad nothing to say
against tbe Catholic missionaries.
Then a third straight line was drawn
and O.d Wolf said: "White House
straight." By this he did not mean tbe
Erecntive Mansion, but the littlewhite
school conducted by the Sisters of Char
Uy, which was known far and Dear
among the Indians as the '"White
Iloose."
Xext a straight line was drawn part
way across tbe page, and from one end
he made a number of very crooked
lines, so that tbe .diagram looked like a
cat-o'-nine-tails. This was explained
by the chief aa "Washington straight
but all things comiDg from Washington
very crooked."
Then a line was drawn straight part
of the way, then crooked, then straight
and so on across the page. "Indian
agent straight, crooked, straight
crooked, straight crooked," wasHhe la
conic explanation.
"Crow fly round, round, round," was
the sarcastic was be illustrated the
characteristics of the Crow Indians by
a series of loops across the page. But
tbe climax of this speech was reached
when Old Wolf drew across the pappr
a very crooked line and remarked with
manifest contempt: "Sioux crooked,
always cr joked."
Inrenter di-on as He Is.
I bad a look at Edison tbe other day,
and brought away the impression that
no bust or picture conveys an adequate
idea of the man. There is a singular
power and sweetness in the face, and
the man is altogether more massive ard
striking than popular portraits would
lettd one to suppose. His bead is unus
ually large, and tbe brow is broad, full
and serene. Tbe nose is large andifull
of character, the smooth-shaven chin
and jaw are good, the mouth is wide,
as it should be in a man of force, and
tbe eye is peculiarly strong and attract
ive. This Gne bead is set on a stout
neck, and below spread broad shoulders
and a massive chest. In the group of
distinguished men of national repu'a
tion, with whom I saw bim, hid was bv
far the most striking presence. When
called upon to speak, be put in an al
most boyish protestation with depreca
tory smile aud uplifted hands.and noth
ing could biing bim to bis feet.
A clever and observant young woman
recently told me of ber visit to Edison's
laboratory. A particularity elegant as
sistant moved about tbe room, while a
man in a shabby gray coat tho filed io
and sat down at a desk. This, to tbe
young lady's surprise, proved to be Mr.
Edison. Tbe inrenter bad tbe lady's
companion sing into the phonograph,
and listened as best be could wth bis
defective bearing. Later he shut him
self into a little room, and for an hour
after tbere issued from that closed
chamber a curious succession of vocal
sounds, while the mventer experiment
ed with bis favori'.e invention.
Changing the Color ot the Hair.
History mentions numerous women
who bave endeavored, with greater or
less success, to change tht color of their
bair. Mary Queen of Scots bad natur
ally magnificently glossy black hair,
but after tbe historic voyage from
France oveiseas to Scotland, and ht-r
reception Ly the sandy-taired Scotch,
the socght to give an auburn hue to her
t Treses-possibly from an RMtbctic desire
to be in harmony with Ibtru. Un
happy Marie Antoinette discovered a
Frenchman who- bad compounded a
powier having the quality or giving to
the hair the tbe rich darkbrown char
acteristic of tbe madonnas painted by
many of ILe old mteis.
