In. To overcome this laek of water as well as insure sillh ciclU dunipin.'r -.'round, a hiiT Hoatuij,' r..ld-saviii-f dredge has l.een con structed and is now at work on the l.laho hank of the Snake river aliout ten miles uUnv Payette. It is a stern-wheel Uatboat propelled by steam. Substantially constructed, sixty-live feet loiur an.l twenty-two feet wi.le. it is equipped with a thirty tive horse power marine engine an.l boiler an.l a.tapte.l in every way for naviatim,' Idaho's great waterway.

As 1:1 the p:i".. operations are now conl'med to work in,' bars )iit of the lied or channel of the river. The method pursued is to anchor alongside one of these -.'ravel ,1, posits and by the nse of scrapers brin? the material to be handled with in tiie reach of the ffold-washin -ohincry with which the craft is rhrsfed. The gravel is scoo-ied UP '' buckets attached to an endless chain. There are forty-eight of these receptacles on a belt sixty feet in length, and each has a capacity of about twenty pounds of dirt, which is delivered into a hop jht. This is also an agitator, and the process employed may be deseriled as a steam rocker, with the exception that it has an end motion instead of one sidcw ise. The gold is caught on cop per plates with quicksilver. The tail ings are carried olf in sluice boxes by the f..-ce of a stream of water of one hundred and fifty mineral inches, sup plied bv a China pump, run by the en gine which drives all the other ma chinery. The gravel is worked so thoroughly that no gold escapes in the tailings that are dumped into the riv er. An average of one hundred tons. if gravel are daily handled, and for this work three men are employed an en gineer, one to work the scraper, and another one who shovels the dirt intoa pi! no that the buckets can scoop up :i full load. The bar now being worked covers an area of ten to iif teen acres. The gold is on ton or close to the surface and v.iil not pay to handle to a greater depth than one foot to eighteen inches. This shows a value of one and nne-haK to three cents a pan. A clean-up is made everv night, and the average of the runs for the lirst three days was verv satisfactory to the owner of the craft, lie says he expects to take out upward of one hundred dollar-; a day as long as he works, which will be un til cold weat her sets in. When he has gone over the bar which now engages his attention he will tackle another. INDIANS AND COMETS. A lt-llf That Hie Sun h:c Stan and Ilita-A Them. When the last comet was streaming in the sky I was camping one ni.iht in a canyon near the foot of Cook's jn-ak. In the party was an old and for an Indian -fail ly intelligent I te. named Sam. Sam had ln-en attached to some cavalry troop at Fort 'ummings as a scout, but his dayof lea ving the service Wing reached he attached himself to mo for a consideration says a writer in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Pointing to the comet I asked Sam what he could say in its defense from the standpoint of a I'te. Sam was. un like most Indians, a great talker, and coul I speak Knglish very well. II. was ambitious to perfect himself in the language, and readily seized or every chance for a talk. Indeed. 1 discovered him on one or two occasion.-, all alone and talking vigorously at a mark like a savage Demosthenes. "Tell til tout that'.'" sai.l Sam. point ing toward the comet. "Sam do it in a heap easy. The sun is the man and he have moon for squaw. The stars big stars and little stars are all their children. The sun don't like "em. If ho catches one ho eats it. This makes the stars heap "fraid. and 'when the sun has'his sleep over and comes out the stars run and hide. When the Mir. comes stars go creep into holes and hide. Hut the moon is good. She loves, her children the stars an.l when the sun sleeps she comes out in the sky, and the stars are glad, ami they come out of the places they hid in, and forget to lie 'fraid and play. Hut when the sun wakes again they run. He is always after them and he catches them sometimes. This one." continued Sam, again pointing to the comet, "the sun catch one time. He got away, though, but the sun hit him and hurt him. That's why he bleed so. Now he's heap seared and so keeps his face always toward the place where the sun is sleeping." MODERN TITLES. An English bishop is properly ad dressed as "my lord." Seigneur was the title originally given to theruler of a district. England has twenty-seven dukes. Scotland seven. Ireland two. ISisiioi-s have made experimental use of nearly all the titles in existence. Thkke are in England, according to Lodge, only seven peers of the blood royal. 1! A honk are styled Right Honorable Lord , and addres.sed as "my lord." Al.l. members of the families of peers have their titles of honor, varying with rank. A itKP. is styled his grace, the duke of , and addressed as "my lord, duke or your grace." Tiikkk are five orders of nobility in England the duke, luanjuis, earl, vis count and baron. "Yni R honok"' is now devoted to judges. English judges are addressed as "your lordship." The race of baronets was created bv James I. in loll, and is found only in tJreat Britain. In formal letters to a duke it is eti quette to legin: "My lord duke, may it please your grace." Globe-Democrat. Sagacity of Wild Fowl.

Sik Ijiscars from In.li.i I'refer Death to l-'o.xi rrci:iroi l.y i liriHtimi'. The I5ritis.li ship Lanark sirrived in port recently, says the Philadelphia Press. The physician from the llritish consulate went aboard to examine the crew. Thri-e-foiirths were La scars, shipped in liombay. The doctor found six suffering from heart affection an.l two from otii.-r !i.seas5-s. The last two were in a serious condition. The doe tor, through an interpreter, told one he must be removed ton hospital. The crew gathered around the physician and tutored the most furious protcf ts. ill'- sic!; mail said he would rather die than leave the ship and his country men. A Lascar cats nothing but food pre pared by a countryman: a Christian touching it v.'oul-l cause contamina tion, and anyore partaking of it after this .U iilemei'it loses caste. This was why the s-iok man preferred death to leaving the vessel. I lo consented to go onlv after the doctor had solemnly promised that lit- shoiihl have tood pro pared by oru- of the . rew. and be per mit tod to b-ave. u heliier sick or well, when his ship cleared this port. Then he and the other sick man. who is sin Kgyptian. were taken to the Modico ( hirurgii al hospital. Not another Lascar could bo induced to leave the s'':p. They h'lv their own cook, who Moves th" f.ol on a s(o;are stone, mashes and boils it. Kiee, t. currie and uater form t !n mai.i part of their diet.

Mir.trtilo.iH Stotifi T"ld uf the Tree W hicli l:!niti o.i t'hriit m;iM. At (i'as'toiibury Abbey, in Somerset shire. Ihiglaiid. once to.nl a thorn tree vl::eh, it is said. bi'Mim.-d every Christ mas morning. The i:rt a'lt hentie ae eoiint of it ever written was in 17T by a visitor who tells of it in the a. count of his visit to the abbey. The keeper assured him that -St. Joseph of Arimathca landed not far from the town, at a place where there was formerly an oak that had boon planted to his memory; that ho and his com pa n ions inarched to a hill and rested themselves, and that Joseph stuck his stalf on the ground. Now this statf was a comm. m dry haw thorn si :.)c. but it grew and first came into full flower on Christmas day. Afterward the tree, which had thus grown and budded like Aaron's rod. always bloomed on the day of our Lord's na tivity and upon no other day, the tlower, like thos? of the night-blooming ccreus. lasting but n few hours. Many queer stories h-.ivo been told of the .Miraculous Thorn of liar ton bury." It was said that if the chips from it were planted tiiey would sprout anil grow like potatoes; that the loaves cured all inflammations, swellings, etc.. and that "rod.-."" cut from it would never leave marks on the children cor rected by their use. SPORTS AMU PoTIMHIS. The patronage of bicycle riders is nowadays no inconsiderithlo part of the custom of country hotels in districts where the roids are good.

These fountains are put up -in the public street and afford the conven ience of supplj'inp at. any hour of the day or nij?Iit a certain quantity of hot water in return for a coin of certain value, which is dropped into the slot in the now so familiar way. The dropping; of the coin automatically porerus the flow of water from the street mains throujrh a small lioiler. heated by a series of pas jets, and sim ilarly regulates the quantity of pas w hich is admitted, and which isliphted by means of a small, constantly main tained ipnited jet. The French hot water machine brinjrs back to mind very strikinply the apparatus desipned more than two thousand years apo by Hero, of Alex andria, which furnishes one of many similar illustrations of the extent to which the ancients made use of what are often supposed to be entirely mod ern ideas. Curiously enooph. Hero's machine, it may here lie repeated, was operated by a coin represeiitinp five drachmas. The coin, in fallinp, struck a lever, opened a valve and let out a small quaulit.v of holy water. When the coin fell off the lever the valve was clsed. Hero went still further, however, by inveiitinpan automatic bartender on the eoin-in-t he-slot principle. This was a vase containinp three kinds of liquor in different compartments, with a faucet arranped so as to lie ojh'IhmI part of the way by one coin, still fur ther yet by a larper or heavier coin, and then still further by a still larper or heavier coin. The extent to which the faucet was opened determined which chamlier should communicate with it. and hence which of the three liquors should Ik allowed to escap . This machine, ap parently, has not yet bceu reinvented. THE GREAT BARRIER REEF. One of the Marine ttoiid.m of the Aus tralian oast. One of the wonders of the world is' the preat barrier reef of Australia. This stujH-n.lons rampart of coral, stretchinp i" an almost unbroken line for twelve hundred and tifty miles alon;' the northeastern coast of Aus tralia, presents features of interest which are not to le equaled in any other quarter of the plobe. Nowhere is the action of the little marine insect which builds up with un tiring industry those miphty monu ments with which the tropical scan are studded more impressive; nowhere are the wonderful constructive forces of nature more apparent. Hy a simple process of accretion there has been reared in thcacourse Af countless cen turies an atlaiuantiile wall, apainst which the pipantie billows of the I'a cilic, sweepinp aionp, in an uninter rupted course of several thousand miles, dash themselves in ineffectual fury. Inclosed within the ranpeof its pro tectinp arms is a calm inland sea, eiphty thousand square miles in ex tent, dotted with a multitude of coral islets and presentinp at every turn ob jects of interest alike to the unlearned traveler and the man of science. Here may be witnessed at one hundred dif ferent jxtintj the sinpular process by which the wavy gelatinous living mass hardens into stone, then serves as si collecting ground for the flotsam and j.-tsaiii of the ocean, an.l ultimately develops an island covered with a lux urious mass of tropical growth. Here a pa in. may le seen in the serene depths of placid lols extraor dinary forms of marine life, aplow with the most brilliant colors and pro ducinp in their infinite variety a be wildering sense of the vastness of the life of Ihe ocean. SIGNED IN BLOOD. Cntrmrt of Mordrroui Members of a MoaMiahlnera AaatM-iatiou. Charles T. Dazey, the author of "In lid Kentucky, relates some interest ing stories alfout the moonshiners of Kentucky and Tennessee, with whom he associated while visiting that sec tion in search of material for his play. 'I Wcame more or less intimate with many of them," said he to a Xfiv York Times reporter, '"and learned of the existence of a very stranpe sort tif as sociation having its headquarters in one of the counties in southern Ken tucky, liordering on Tennessee. The object of the association was to pro tect the memlicrs from the government and to encourage the manufacture and sale of illicit whisky. Whenever a mem ber of the band was arrested by the revenoers, as the revenue oflicers are called, three or four others would testify to an alibi. Kach memln-r was bound by an oath signed in blood to kill anyone who informed on another. In this way they hoped to protect each other from the raids of the deputy marshals. The secret leaked out in rone way, and for a titnc until the band was effectually broken up the men, when captured, were taken to Louisville for trial; but there's just as much moonshining done away back in the fastnesses of the mountains as ever." II.H- it :ni It A Devonshire farmer went to London to see the sights. hile walking dowi the Straud he saw a card in a taven window beariug the inscription: "Oev onshire cider sold here."

"Well, I'll tell you. They stuck up 1 barrel of water at one en.l .f v,...i and stood back at the other end and threw apples at it. "Did they?" said the farmer, slowly sipping the cider. "Then thev didn't nit that barrel roor'n once. Tit-Bits. Stab Koala of Thought. We shape our own fate quite as much as fate shapes us. Pretense may not be of long con tinuance out It goes while it lasts. A woman may be no more vain than a man is, but she will do more for van ity's sake than a man will. Prudence is the muzzle for zeaL Avarice is so close that he who has it denies its possession. A woman who can love once can love twice. As soon as two people begin to think alike they disagree.
