The CHIT end CaTe Dirt Hers.
For a great nntnr of jfars in the
the past travelers ard explorers in the
Southwestern portion of oar country
bare been astonished by carious bai!ds
Ings, perched high up In the precipitous
cliffs or buried tn the deep cares and
caverns of that district, whose bnlldings
and ocrupants hare long since dlsap
psared. These have figured so often in
prose and even In poetry. In pictures
and in midela by scientific investi
gating parties, that a person must be
Tery far behind the progress of the age
who has not read or heaxd in soma way
of the accieot cave, and cliff, dwellings
of our far Southwest. The dwellers
themselves had either disappeared by
emigration or bad become extinct on
the very ground where their curious
homes had been built ; although other
evidences of them besides these homes
were still to be seen in their singularly
made pottery and household utensils.
and an occasional more or less perfect
skeleton here and there.
Still living in the land of the extinct
cliff and cava dweller were two radi
cally different kinds of wild savages ;
but nothing that could be learned from
them, directly or Indirectly, seemed to
furnish a key as to what raca these
curious semi-aerial, cliff dwelling peo
ple eou'd have belonged. There were
many nomadic races, represented by the
Apache Indian as the best typical case.
that never built any homn beyond those
needed from diy to d, or for a single
era -ion at the furthest, and that lived by

Ilowmtny tribes of this warlike, no
madic character there have been in the
past it H hrd to jnilge, for they, of all
ctVrs, weu'.d have left no s'gns of thei
pn-net c ho hind them hd they disap
peared by extinction or emigration to
other pirts. Certain it is that non of
the present nomadic wanderers of the
far Southwest seem to know any
thing, either by legend or tradition,
of the ancient cave and cliff dwellers
and lok on them as having become ex
tinct, or having disappeared long before
their fnreiatbers came to this common
country.
The Senate biarel.
The Vice President's gavel is of itself
a standirg erideoce that the Senate is
an orderly body and needs noschoolmaa
ter for a presiding officer to compel qui
et. The gavtl has no handle. It never
did have any. It is sirnyty a little piece
of white ivory like the head of a gavel,
polished and shining. It would not do
in the House at all, for the most that
can be done with it is to give a gentle
rapping on the desk, and in the other
wing the Speaker sometimes needs to
hammer awav like a man with a beetle.
This Senate gavel, with which Vice
President Morton tells the Senators
they are making too much noise has
been in exisiance and in use as a gavel
for mauv years. It is the identical one,
it is said, which was in use when Dan
iel Webster was in the Senate, and prob
ably was used the day he made bis reply
to Ilavne. to still the bnzz in the gallery
wheu the great man sat down. This, at
any rate, was said to be true the otber
day.
There is a mystery about the gavel,
too. Nobody but dipt. F.aasett, the
white-haired door-keeper, knows what
becomes of it during the recess and
wheu Congress is not in session. The
venerable old ('apt. Basset t takes it
from the Vice-President's desk when
the Senate adjourns and hides it some
where, and it is lost to the world until
it is again needed oy the Vice-President.
Capt. Bissett knows the history
of the gavel, as be does of everything
else ab ut the Senate chamber, for he
be has been there since some time in the
thirties or forties, when he first received
his appointment as a page. It is said
through the influence of Daniel Web
ster. U has been suggested that Capt.
Ja8aet carries the gavel in his pocket
B3 a mascot when the Senate is not in
session, though this is probably not
true.
Vtheu .iacam Una Dry.
A New Vork nionoer n.iva that nn
March 2t, l?l. for a few hours scarce i
any water panned oyer .Niagara Falls, j
The whiter hud been ad extraordinary
severe one, and ic of unusual thickness
had formed on Lake Krie. The warm
spring rains hid the effect of loosening
the congr ,!ed mn. and dor't.jr the div
mentioned a stiff east wind drove the
ice fat up into the lake. About sun
down the wind suddenly changed and
blew a heavy gale from the west. This
turned the ice !n its couise. bricglr g it
down to the mouth of the Niagara Riv
er and piling it up In a solid mass.
Thd force of it was so great that soon
tbe outlet cf Lake Krie was so complete
ly choked up that little or no water
could pass. S.on all the water below
the barrier had paesd over the fals,
and when the Inhabitants awoke the
next morning a weird spectacle met
their gaze. The roaring tumbling rap
ids above tbe falls were almast obliter
ated, and nothing but the cold black
rock were visible everywhere. Crowds
of spectators witnessed this sight, and
the banks on either side of tbe river
were lined with people all day long un
til the ice In the lake was released from
its position, and tbe wall of the waters
to turned to their usaal couise.
Mixing of Melons and Cucumbers.
When cucumbers are planted near
melons and both are in bloom at the
same time, the different plants are apt
to become mixed to some extent by the
visits ot bees, which carry pollen from
one to the other. To some extent the
effect of the mixu'.re is apparent the
same year in the fruit, but the next
year it is much more so when the cross
. bred plants are produced from the seed
This first year's mixture is however,
rare, and has only occurred with the
writer once in several years' experience.
It is safest to procure fresh seed every
year for small gardens in which related
plants are necessarily grown clotte to
"each o'.her.

Superstitions of the Chidese.
It has often been a mUter of C3njc-
ture why a Chinaman should be so par
ticular in sleeping with his bead toward
the east. When at home, or traveling,
er visiting, tbe Celestial, if among
strangers, exercises no little care to
avoid sleeping in any other position
than the one which he has been brought
up to look upon as tbe most correct and
healthful to bit mind.
According to the Chinese superstition
it is exceedingly dangerous to sleep
rlth tbe head to the setting sun.
The sleeper might justly fear darkness.
anhappiness and aeath ; that is, of
course. If he is a believer. From tbe
notth comes coldness, lonliness and
barreness. and to sleep with head in
that direction would be to bring down
upon himself and family these products
of tbe pole.
The south signifles passing glory; a
linitation of wealth, health and happi
ness. Therefore, that is extremely un
desirable. But to the east the source
of the rising sun In all its splendor is
where the Celestial looks for all his
good gifts. From it come (so he te-
lieves) light, life, wealth and happiness.
No misery, cr wretchedness, or want
can come from the glorious east ; so he
must sleep with head in that direction.
In order to get the full benefit or the
good gifts which will surely come to
him.
Often, In traveling. Chinamen carry
a mariner's pocKer-compaw, ia
that, when the time comes to retire.
tbey may discover which way to point
their heads. If the make a mistake
and sleep the wrong way. ihey are like
ly to lose so much health and happiness.
With a dead Chinaman this is reversed;
tot we believe that after death the body
has nothing to loose, and tbe head.
therefore, is placed before the west.
It is a fact worthy of notice and men
tion that those Chinamen who have be
come Chri8tianlz-d follow tbe old super
stition about sleeping just as much r.s
tbe heathen who fetejs his foot on
American soil for the first time. They
look upon it as truth, and not supersti
tion, from childhood np, and it is hard
to break down thelteachings or a moth
er and father, especially in China.
Indiaa Humor.
Tbe Indian has a keen appreciation
of humor, and is like a child in his
ruirthfulness. ' No orator can tee tbe
weak points in his adversary's armor or
silence a foolish speaker more quIckH.
Q!d Shah-bah-sk ng, the head chief
of Mill Lao, brought all bis warriors
to defend Fort li-plev in 1S02. The
Secretary of tbe Interior and tbe Gov
ernor and Lpfjisliture of Minnesota
promised these Indians that for this act
of bravery they should have tbe special
care of tbe Government and never be
removed. A few years later a special
agent was s.-nt from Washington to ask
the Ojibways to cede their lands and to
remove to a country north of Leech
Lake. Tbe agent asked my help. I
said: "I know that country. I hve
camped on it. It is tLe most worthless
stripof land in Minnesota. Tbe Indians
are not fools. Don't attempt this folly
You will surely come to grief." He
called the Indians in conucil and said
"My rrd brothers, your great father has
beard bow yoa have been wronged. He
said, 'I will send them an honest man.'
He looked in the North, the South, the
East and the West. When he saw me
be said : 'This is the honeet man
whom I will send to mj red children.1
Brothers, look at me ! Tbe winds of
fifty-five years have blown over my
head and silvered it over with gray, and
in all that time I have never done
wrocg to aDy man. As your friend, I
ask you to sign this treaty."
Old bbah-bah-skong sprang to his
feet and said : 'My friend, look at
me ! The winds of more than fifty
winters have blown over my bead and
silvered it with gray ; but they have
not blown my brains away"
The council was ended.
Wedding Rings
The latest thing in weddina iitigs
comes from Erg'and, and is a narrow
out. truck circlet of 22 carat fine gold.
This has come in fashion in America In
the course of the Use year, replacing
the old style ring, which is bo'b heavy
and wide, being sometimes half an inch
brod. Thesa latter have teen in nse
as far bjck as I can iememtr. The
Germ ins always buy two plain gold
rings, the lady giving one to her be
tro! bed and he one to her. The
an ;e" ring is sometimes called for. and
often manufactured to order. It i
made of two circlets fitting into each
other and coruiog prt something like
a puzzle, and is a revival of a very old
style. The ordinary weddiDg ring costs
rrom J7.S0 to S13. althoogh the English
ring is somewhat more expensive. In
engagement ring? individual taste is the
nly law, but set stones are great favor
ites. A novelty is a ling of three cir
clets, a.most as narrow as wire, each
set with a band of different stones, such
as pearls, turquoises and coach-shells.
The Foolish Ox.
An old farmer had two oxen that be
wanted to fatten, so be putthem'iu a
corral and then gave them all the corn
tbey could eat.
"This is a picnic." said one. "1 am
getting fat as an alderman, and my di
gestive apparatus was never better.
Our master is truly a gentleman and a
scholar."
'lie is also a business man,r replied
hi-, mate, "and tbe first thing yon know
you will be turned into porter-bouse
steak. Better do as I do and stay
lean."
"Being lean and tough will not save
von.1 replied bis neighbor, "for you
will in that case be sold to tbe butcher.
Since the s me fate awaits as both, I
shall be ahead, as I am having heaps of
fan now."
Dyspepsia ana Liver t'omplslsl.
Is It not worth tbe small price of 75 cents
to free yourself of every symptom of tnes
distressing complaints, if yon think so call
at our store and get a Dottle of Snoton's
Vltalizer. Every bottle has a printed
guarantee on It, use accord Insly. and if is
does jou no good it will coat you nothing.

An Accident In a Spanish Boll-fight, i
A few years ago tbe inhabitants of
Seville read with surprise, in tbe adver
tisement of an approaching bull fight,
this unusual notice :
When the third bull shall have at
tacked the picadors and received three
pairs or banderillas, a young peasant,
by whom it has been brought up, will
appear in the ring. He will approach
tbe bull, caress It, sud, after removing
the banderillas, one after atiO'ber, will
lie down between Its horns." 1
The announcement of so singular a
feat attracted an Imaoenae crowd to the
amphitheater. Tbe third bull appeared.
au animal with p'endid horns and very
brave ; It slew four .horses, rect-ived
tbe banderillas, and became furious.
Then, contrary to custom, all the tor
eadors retired from the ring, leaving
the bull stamping and shaking the
bioody darts which bung from bis
neck.
All at once a long whistle was heard.
Tbe bull paused ad listened. It was
repeated. The bull approached tbe
barrier and a young man leaped tn'.o
the ring, calling the bull by its oh me,
Moquito 1" The animal knew its
master came to caress him, and was ap
peased. The peasant gave it bis hand
to lick, and with the otber began to
scratch H behind the ears an operation
which seemed to afford tbe brute much
pleasure. He then gently removed the
banderillas which annoyed the neck of
Mofeouito, made it go down on Us
knees, and placed his bead between its
horns. The grateful bull seemrd to
listen with pleasure to a pastoral melo
dy sung by its master.
The admiration of the multitude,
hitherto suppressed by surprise, burst
forth with Andalusian violence and
shock the building. Hearing this
frenzied applause, which bad accom
panted all bis sufferings, the bull, till
tben under a charm, appeared to wakt

Few peoule Know the discovery of
silk is attributed to one of the wives if
the Emperor of China, Ilongti, who
reigned about twu thousand years before
tbe Christian era ; and since that time
a special spot has been allotted in gar
. . ... , . ,
dens of the Chinese royal palace to the
'
cultivation of the mulberry tree and to
berry
tbe keeping of silkworms. Fersiau
ruutika who came to Coustantioopie re
vealed to tbe Emperor Justinian the se
cret of the producion of silk, aod gve
bim some silkworms, from Greece tbe
art pnssd lDto Italy at tbe erd of tbe
thirteenth century.
When the Popes left llime to settle
at Avingon, France, tbey introduced
into that country tbe secret which tad
been kept by tbe Italians, and Louis XI.
established at Tours a manufactory of
eilk fabrics. Francis 1. founded the
Lyons silk works, which to this day
have kept the first rank. Henry II. of
France, wore at the wedding of his sis
ter the iirst pair of silk ho" ever made.
Tbe wcrd "satis," which. In the origi
nal, was applied to all silk stuffs in
general, has, since tbe last century,
been used to designate only tia&ues
which present a lustered surface.
Tbe discovery of tbis particular brill
iant stuff was accidental. Oetavio Mi,
a ai'.k weaver, finding" business Very dull
and not knowing what to invent to give
a new impulse to the trade, was one day
pacing to and fro before bis loom. Ev
ery time be passed tbe machine, with
do definite object in view, he pulled lit
tie threads from tbe warp and put them
to his mouth, which soon after be spat
out. Lter on be found tbe little bal' of
silk on tbefljor of bis woiksbop. and,
attracted by the brilliant apieatanca of
the threads, be repeated tbe experts
mnt, and ty using certain mucilagi
nous preparations oucceeded in giviDg
satio to tbe world.
How Case-Balls are Made.
Automatic machines for making
base balls have been so successfully
contrived that their introduction is
likely to constitute a practical industry.
Each machine winds two balls at one
time, in tbe following way :
A little pararubber ball, weigbiog
three-quarters of an ounce, around
which one turn baa been made with in
end of a ekeiti af an old-fashioned gray
stocking yarn, is slipped into tbe ms
cbine, then another, after which tbe
boy in charge touches a lever, tbe ma
chine starts and tbe winding begins.
Tbe rubber ball is thus bidden in a few
secoDd?, and in its place appears a little
gray yarn ball that rapidly grows larger
and larger.
When it appears to be about half tbe
size of tbe regulation base-bali there is
a click, ttie macbiue stops, tbe yarn is
cut, tbe boy picks out tbe ball aud
tosses it into tbe basket. When tbis
basket is full it is passed along to an
other boy, who ruus a similar machine,
where a balf-ounce layer of worsted
yarn is put on.
Tbe next machine adds a strong white
cotton thread ; a coatiDg of rubber ce
ment is next applied and a balf-ounce
layer of tbe very best fine worsted com
uletes tbe ball with the exception of tbe
cover."
