varied an we have worked up nnd into
the' bank. At first, near the rlver'ii edge,
utore was eniy meid en a vrry light allu
vial sand, Tills was readily washed off
and palJ ft or $5 per day. A little far
ther hack we struck the edge of the red
gravel streak. This for a time paid bet
ter. Farther still came the dcelt of
light sandy grin el, and lastly came in
the accursed "hard pan.'
Our claim, en being first prospected,
was rejierted te pay three cents te the
pan from the top down. We believed it
nt first, net having learned that "three
cents te the pan from the top down"
means the biggest kind of luck. If you
get an aernge of half a cent a pan front
the lop down, and the dirt' would" wnah
f5i!y, we should inake money. It was
hard even for an "honest miner" te glve
nsn icsult of a prospect anything less
than "three cents te the pan." Out
"hard pan" Is our fee. "Hard pan" is
the essence of brickhaU. Its consistency
Is about that of chalk. It scorns the
finest kind of sand cemented nnd pressed
together. It can Ikj carved into any
form with n knife. It takes as much
time te work off a square feet of hard
pan as ten square feet of soft gravel.
When, after half a day's labor, we suc
ceed In getting down a cave, It gees into
the ground sluice in a few great lumps,
vthlclitmist l)e battered te pieces with
our picks befere the water will slowly
dlsH)lve them into mud. And It doesn't
held a "color" or geld. The work in
the ground sluice gees en hour nrter
hour. Tick and shovel and sernpe,
scrape and shovel and pick, the water
meant line tumbling and rearing ever
the hank and making it difficult for us
te hear ene anethere' voices. Tlie sun
climbs higher and gets hotter, The
water pail is frequently vislted. The
backs of the gray shirts are wet with
jienipiratlen. In an easy, companion cempanion companien
ablo claim, where the partners are all
geed fellows nnd en geed terms nnd net
tee insane in the matter of getting an
enormous quantity of dirt through the
bluices each day, there may be mero or
less brief sitienflleiis from the work,
when all hands lean en tliclr shovels
and talk politics, or horses, or last night's
IKiker game, or have a short service of
tobacco smoke, with tlie usual solemn
preliminaries or cutting the plug uud
illling pipes. Iiut if the majority or the
"company" are a mean, crablted, close
fisted let, the misery gees en without
cessation.
A queerly asserted group are we thus
laboring together. .laekO win's Impelling
hepe nnd lire's idea Is te earn enough te
ly his passage home te Philadelphia
and buy him a suit of clothes. A decent
suit he has Det earned thehe flve years.
He Would be the terror and (listless of

him 5 in his iKickel ever cxitenscH and
sobriety nre an impossibility. McFnddcn
dreams of a cabin, a cow, home grcsq
and goats, a herse mid a wife, and is in
a fair way of realizing them all. He
saves meKt or his earnings, gets drunk
wisely only en holidays, pajs his debts
regularly, hates the English, lives in that
little black, brownish cabin up jeuder,
does all hiscoel.ingin twetiu K!H,Blecpn
in ene pair of ancient blankets and a
most disieputnble bed quilt, and ?!1 will
cover the cost of all his domestic fittings
and utensils. 1)111 Furnea, a Fmncli Ca

boatman, a geed logger, a skilled wood weed
cutler, a dovct'ie et poker and generally
a Riicccsbful one, an entertaining scamp,
full of wit nnd originality, quick te take
in the peculiarities and eccentricities et
ethers, something Of a dandy, as far as
dandyism can be indulged in this out of
the way place, and a born bcnmp, glib of
tongue, unruliiible, and socially the best
man of the crowd.
.It is near 11 o'clock. There stands in
a cool corner of the claim and cmefully
shielded from any stray Hying pebble, a
black bottle. It Is nearly full of whisky
very common corn whisky. It Is meat
welceme at this hour. Poison it may
be, but a draught from the tin cup
' brightens up nnd makes all things new.
The suusliinu is mero cheerful. All nat nat
ure smiles. The picks descend with in
creased ferce and a host Of new day
dicauis start Inte being. It revives hope.
It quenches despair. It gilds the monot
ony or our lives. It was ever thus, mid
K)ssibly ever shall Je, world without
end. It is high neon. Tlie him is ever
our heads and the shadows aie at their
bliertest length. One or our number
trudges wearily up te the icserveir te
bhut oil the water. Se seen as its Hew
uwciib we trudge off in wet everalU or
heavy rubbers te our respectlve cabins.
We aie new ground Blulcing at or about
the year 1800, when millers generally
had abandoned "cabining" in squads and
each man kept heuse by himself. Cause
general incompatibility or temper, tem
perament, disposition, and habit. The
sober miner feuud it Uisagrecable te llve
permanently with the sproelng miner,
and the miner nice in his domcbtie econ
omy and particular about his feed toen
hecame tired of a companion who never
aired his blankets and didn't caie wheth
er his bread was light or heavy, sweet or
sour. Trudging te our cabins, we pick
up the dried twigs in our path. ThcbO
are te kiudle the dinner tire. Dinner is
very much like breakfast, lieef or bacon,
bread, tea, dried apple sauce. Thy IkmjIh
are kicked elf and thumped into a cor
ner. The teitqieralure is up te tint
notch that induces perspiration without
uny exertion at all, and the ugly little
steve makes it hotter still.
We sit down te the neon meal in a
melting condition, nnd rise fiem it in
the same state. Dinner is eaten, the
"noening" is ever, back again te the
claim, turn en the water, pick, shovel,
bcrape, pry, toss bark bewlders nnd prep
up bluices slipped from their biipperls.
Uetween 2 and 3 o'clock a snowy white
cloud rises ever a distant peak te the
eastward. It seems like a great bank of
snow against the blue sky, and the
longer we leek nt it tliu farther we seem
te peer into its translucent, clear-white
depths. It rises ever that peak at almost
the same hour every afternoon, and is
almost of the same shape. It is the con
densed wqer of the snow melting en
the higher Sierra summits, eighty-six
miles distant. It Is imposing In Its
silent imperceptible rising, its ueudciful
whiteness, its majesty, its distance. It
Meiusnfit leil of snowy splendor for
fniries or some sort of ethereal beings te
bask nnd revel in. It bcems te Iw look
ing down, half in scorn, half in pity, at
us four weary, miserable worms of the
dust, feebly pecking at a bit of mother
earth, muddy, wet, and feebly squirm
ing in and nbeut this bank of dirt.
At 4 o'clock there are longer pauses in
our labors. There is meiu leaning en
sheu-ls ami mero fiequent glances nt
our timepiece, the sun, fis he sinks In
the western heavens. The shadow of
tlie hill opposite creeps slowly down its
side. It is a cool, welceme shadow. The
strongest worker secretly welcomes it.
Though he lw a "herse of a man," his
iiuibcles ull feel the effects of the long
day's labor. It is mero his strong will
than his body which keeps him swing
ing the pick. We are in duty bound
te work till 0 o'clock. Everyliedy works
till 0 o'clock. Everybody is mero or

of n illlTen nt design from these oifcred In the
ether events.
Ihese games will liothe first attempt en the
part of the llosten Atlilotle association at
holding an eH'ii ntliletic meeting. Tlie club
is a little ever two years old ami It has been

ever n jenr. llos lles llos
len's best ivople are
represented en tlie iiimn

tliochairnmiief tlie games committee, OcerRO
It, Mei rlseti, U a liars ard graduate and otice
was u celebrated running high juuqier, hold
ing a t'oeertl Of 9 feet 7Jf Inches nt that pilllie,
wliirlt even In theso days Is considered a capi
tal Jump.
The pi ogrnniine for the games will be notico netico notice
ubloforits great variety of events. It will
inchiile sprinting, middle dUtauce running,
walking, hurdling, running higli Jumping,
pole vaulting, weight threning and tug of
war. Games held in doers are, as n rule,
limited In events, hut the 1!. A. A. has maila
arrangements for the successful holding of
eventnvtlile.il heretofore havu lieeu most un
satisfactory vt lien competed hi en a beard
fleer. Any kind of running, walking, hur
dling and tug of vtar can be taken art in en
a tieard fleer almost us well ns en turf or n
cinder path, hut jumping and weight throw
ing are dilTcrcnt, The treuble with these
eveut.t is that the landing place for the athlete
hi the jumps and the weights in weight tin ow
ing en a lieard fleer generally tan mattress.
It can readily be seen that te mark vthere a
Height Iniuts en a uiuttiess needs much ex-h-i
Ic'iice, for no break hi the ground, as It is
called out of doers, if made, and the weight
rolls nwuy without leaving any perceptible
trace where it struck tlie mat. Judges have
te lie very quick In determining where the
missile, lands and many disputes have arisen.
Athletes in jumping e cuts also complain of
a lack of eoiilldeuce hi landing en a uinttress
from a great height hi high jumping or pole
vaulting, although some say tliey can dens
ell under these conditions as If they were
computing out of doers and landing en soft
dirt,
The games committee of the II. A A. has
e ereonie the great olisbicle in vt eight throw
ing en u Ixiard Doer, mid in both putting the
1l!-Kiiuid shot and threning the Ce-pound
Height the uiisslle will land hi a box IS feet
sipiaie tilled te a depth of 6 inches with
dirt. This will bring the ceiiqu'titiuii down
te a eint as flne as when can led en out of
lira's, This will hotheflrbt time that tlie
pi. in has lieeu tried en a large scale, and the
place assigned for the weights te land In is
fully large enough te en.ttile even Inoxpert
weight throwers te eouite without running
the i Mi of damaging the fleer by an Inao Inae
curato threw.
The pregramme for the games will be na

New Yeuk, Feb. 6. I was told today,
en high authority, that in less than six
months large hoops would be "in," and
that instead of the present elegant sim
plicity in the making of dresses, the mera
trimming you can pile en them the mere
fashionable they will be. It was also pre
dicted that lleunces, puffs and festoem
would be en all the skirt, and that It was
going te rcquire twenty-seven yards of
material te make a gown. I don't bcliove
it, nnd I don't want te Ixdiove it (or sev

hard enough new te get a dress when It
only needs twelve yards or se, and the
second being tliat Loep costumes are hor

feel as if they were really immedcbt if
they went without them.
The new materials for spring and Hum
mer are coming iu se fast that it is al
most iiiiKssible te keep them all in your
mind's eye. There are also several cpilte
new colors which will undoubtedly have
n "run." One of them is flax blue, just
the color of the blue llax (lowers, and it
has the double merit or being nn abso
lutely fast color, no matter in what ma
terial it is produced, and very becoming
te young people or theso of fuir com
plexions, us it has the rare quality in
blue Of showing up all the delicate tlesli
tints instead of making them leek leaden
ei yellow. This dainty color is seen iu
foulard and all the summer silks, as well
as in lawns and cotton fabric
The ether blue is called Mandarin,
though it is ditlicult te understand what
gave rise te the name. It is a true sky
blue, with a sort et a frosty bloom ever it,
which give-in silvery metallic luster very
pretty and becoming.
Challies will be used very much for
children's dresses, us it is soft, pretty,
cheap and keeps clean. The pretty fam
ily gieup will give thrifty little mother
u geed idea of what te make for the ba
bies. The plainer children's garments
are the easier they are te keep clean, and
cleanliness Is the greatest charm of a
child's diess. Ornamentation should
come scceud,

ABOUT OUR TABLES.
ate laUrNllii ntl(M
I'en of Helen Andonen.
The New Yerk Decorator and FurnUfcer,
In an excellent article by Helen Andersen,
hat the following te say "About Our Ta
blet:" Once upon a time we were wfjl content
with one stiff awl shiny table in the center of
our beat room, a table that made net the
tllghteat pretense te drapery, net even a
carf. But today such a table In ear modern
home would leek like a desolate island in
the son, for almost every house abounds In
lltth) tables scatteml In every possible nook
and corner. Many of these are rery dainty
and artistic, a great many copied from el4
tables, and still a great mauy mero purely
American In make and design; and there are
any amount of them made e heavily gor
geous, se overloaded with ornamentation
that one feels under great obligations te the
maker for giving entirely tee much for the
money.
Before furniture was turned out of factories
by thousands and tens et thousands, the work
being made by hand was, of course, mere ex
penflve, much mere careful In form and exe
cution, and It was utterly Impeeiible te In
dulge In the cheap and gaudy style of decora
tion which is the mlstake of the modern
makers.
Many people fall te realize or are Indiffer
ent te the fact that n table costing thirty
dollars cannot le duplicated for three. Al
though ambitious dcalers In cheap furniture
will make and advertise the attempt, the re
sult is seldom satisfactory. In fact, after all
the dainty form and finish has been lest, peer
materials subalituted, the imitation is 10 peer
that it hardly justlfjes the term imitation at
all. It is se hard for the majority te realize
that ene can mero than get their money's
worth, and as the demand is for this style of
work, It becomes quite a difficult matter te
find a simple and goal article that will net
put Its owner te shame by IU unmistakable
uir of trying te be flne. Of ceurse there is 110
trouble in finding geed nrtlcles in first cleu
concerns, but unhappily It is just the plain
A LOUIS XV TABLK.
style of w erk that Is lioyend the means of many
who would nppreciate It, Be that although
ene may be able te find charming, pictur
esque little tea tables for thirty, twenty-live
or even sixteen dollars, It is qulte nnother
matter when one starts out te find 0110 for
live or fix dollars.
A lienutiful little tea table in the style of
Leuis XV ,'of which the sUetch en this page
gives a very geed idea, has the top in onyx
ami the rest of the table In gilt. This neuld
necessarily Iw very expensive, uud only ap
preciate! for a certulu style et room, but the
same design might be used in mahogany or
cherry, or amy ether kind of weed that
misht 1 preferred. The use of such little
tablet, when the stvle Is really geed, is In
valuahlu in helping out the decoration of a
room; they break the monotony of nn other
wise still looking room and form centers
nremid which people naturally group them
selves. A pretty leaf or bit of drapery in of
course en improvement te almost every
Uible. 801110 very hnndnome tables or stands
are made by the Japanese of teak weed with
inarble teH. Iu desigu they are straight and
square, the legs beautifully carved; the only
objection is they nre very heavy looking and
se distinctly Japanese that they would lie
out of place in a room Hint did net in some
uny suggest the Japanese style in decoration.
Kome of theso tables sell as low as 10, and,
considering their woikinenship, seem very
cheap.
A very inexpensive little table might be
made for a library or sitting room of almost
any weed ene might fancy, and it might al
most serve for n lioekcase, as it hasnmple room
for books or uier8. In construction it is some
thing like 11 very high olllce steel, execjit that
the top and shelves are square and It has four
legs instead of three. At about a feet from
the top a Second shelf Is placed, ami this is
followed by three or four shelves the same
sliai) ns the lop; of course the natural spread
of the legs would make the liottem shelf con
siderably larger tlian the first, and these
AN INKXrKSStVB TAII1.K.
shelves nre net only very odd and pretty, but
are alvi very useful, with n few bits of pretty
china en the top and the rest of the shelves
used for iHHiks and iKi;ers', this makes a nice
little tea table for n library or general sitting
room, and alineat any carjienter could make
oue.
Many fanciful Ideas are carried out hi the
way of tables new seme heart shaped, some
called kidney shaied and ethers where both
the heart and kidney shapes are combined,
the ene for the upjier, the ether for the lower
shelf. They could hardly be called tea tables,
hut, as they nre small, they make a nice rust
ing place, for hric-adirac aud are very appro
priate for small rooms.
Iu the dining room et a prominent New
Yerk ui tlst is a dining table that might lie
used vtith geed cITcct in many houses, and
the cxjicumi of making such a table could, if
0110 were handy, be said te be literally noth
ing, und the result, if only half ns geed as
the original, would still Ihi u very unique
and artistic thing iu the way of tables.
In the ilrst ploce a jiojref ordinary wooden
horses hail been taken, painted white, then
rubbed down te 11 line enameled surface;
uikiii thuse horses was placed a large piece of
tquaie weed, very much like an enlarged
drawing beard, which had been previously
treated hi the same manner as the horses.
This beard was then fastened te the horses
by uieaus of large brass headed nails. Of
ceurse the only art of this table which
would be at all ditlicult te make would le the
enameling, as it generally takes fiem fie te
six coats of paint befere it Is rubbed dew II
w Ith puinicostene and oil. It might be made
ou the sumo plan, stained black and then fin
ished with the brass beaded nails. This would
be very much easier te construct, and would
net require pa en the aid of a carpenter.
Few cities hi the world have such perfect
iestl arrangements as Berlin, nnd it was the
fame of the "Steph-m system" which recent
jly induced the Italian government te scud
bems men te licilln te study it, with a view
te its introduction in Italy.

Seme very common people find this out
for themselves, se far, at least, us the
practical application of it is concerned.
The daughter of the rector of a parish

An old nnd well jested goat who was
