A Phil May Anecdote.
One winter night an old hawker en
tered the bar of the Old Bell tavern.
Fleet street, and offered the customers
aets of tliree studs ior u penny, Phil
Hay Raid to him:
"You are just the man 1 want!"
He took only one stud and gave the
hawker a five shilling piece. The bar
maid said to I'hil May:
"I believe. Phil, you would give your
coat to the first beggar who asked for
it!"
"Well, miss," replied the artist,
"there would be 110 harm in that. St.
Martin gave bis coat to a beggar, and

EYES OF A PORTRAIT.
Why They Seem to Follow Observer*
Moving To and Fro.
The fact that the eyes of soine por
traits follow the observer as he moves
to different positions has always been
looked upou as a triumph of realism.
Although the phenomenon has been
exaggerated in some instances, ii is
not a myth, if the eyes of the portrait
look at the observer in a favorable po
sition they will continue to do so with
in a wide angle extending to any situ
ation where a view is possible. Con
trariiy, if the eyes do not intentionally
look at the observer they will not do
so even though lie take his station at
a point where I he painted gaze is seem
ingly directed.
Suppose that the portrait bead is in
three-quarter face turned to ur left,
with the eyes turned toward the spec
tator. If we move to the rig in we do
not obtain another view of the head
that iSjjwe do not move into tin profile

liquid iron by means of a metal fork
the b. II at first sinks to the bottom
with i !ie fork. But in a few seconds
it leaves the prongs and rises to the
surface, where it continues to float un
til it melts. The rising is explained by
the expansion of tlie bail, due to heat

A ROAD TO WEALTH AHQ CRIME
It Led to the Richest Deposits of Gold.
In a Relative}/ SmaH Territory, Ever
Discovered —Days of Strenuous Life
and Freflated LawiffsneM.
The Bonanza traii began at Fort
La ramie, Wyo. It ran east of the Owl
Creek mountains, west of the Big
Horn mouutains, in a northwest direo
tion to Livingston and Rozeman. then
forkiug to the present Helena and Vir
ginia City. In war aud Indian depart
ment annals it is known as the lioze
man trail. Immediately, however, it
was given the more romantic name,
end for the best of reasons. It led to
what were the richest deposits of gold,
in a relatively small territory, that the
world had ever seen.
Out of Alder gulch and Last Chance
gulch, within 200 miles of each other
in Montana, was taken, in ten short
years, considerably more than $5OO.
000.000 In pure gold. It was anybody's
fortune, aud the wonderful luck of the
California gold diggers a few years be
fore roused meu to brave every hard
ship for these prizes.
It did not matter at all that these
gulches were 2.000 miles from the
nearest railroad and that other gold
fields were far easier to reach. Here
was the great El Dorado, aud with
out a qualm the gold seekers hurried
into the unknown territory, defying
Red Cloud and every other Indian, out
law. renegade and holdup man.
How many lives were sacrificed along
this trail to wealth will never be
known. All that is certain Is thai
there never was another chapter in the
world's history like this. The loug
road into the mysterious country and
the settlements of mining camps grew
up almost in a single night. There
were ouly five men in the little party
when Bill Fairweather "washed" the
first pan in Alder gulch and made a dis
covery even more wonderful than any
in the palmy days of California or
even in the later era of the Klondike.
Two years later Alder gulch, at onc
of the Bonanza trail's two ends, was
among the most picturesque places lc
the country. The world was ransacked
for men and women to give perform
ances at the theaters, to offer free en
tertainment to the patrons of the vari
ous resorts. The gold hunters, gorged
with prosperity, wanted amusements
Fine restaurants were opened and food
brought in at great expense from be
yond the seas. The smallest money
was a twenty-five cent pinch of gold
dust, taken from a pouch. It bought
less than a copper cent does in any
part of the United States today.
Meantime an unending stream of
people poured into the new country
It is estimated by some that 90,000 in
all took the trail at Fort Laramie.
The days of the trail were those of
frenzied lawlessness, and many are the':
I picturesque stories that have come
down. Over the big road disputes
about cards were of daily occurrence
The man who started an argument did
so with the knowledge that it was his
life or the other man's, for he was call
ing into question the "honor" of the
"shark." Swindlers sold "mines,"
fought with their proposed victims and
killed without compunction.
Armed robbers ran off stock, stole
horses from one class of immigrants
aud sold them to another. As the
horse was the sole means of transpor
tation and valuable beyond human life.
; "boss stealing" was set down by the
"districts" as a crime punishable by
death. There were few courts, and
such as there were were miles from
the trail. A jury would hence be at
once impaneled among those present,
the man tried and if found guilty hang
ed to a tree without ceremony.
Hotels flourished and were prosper
ous beyond imagining, for every one ■
spent money, and there was much
flaunting. In the higher grade estab
-1 lishments beverages were served in cut
' I glass; champagne was common. Every
1 resort was crowded with people. The
newcomers frequented these places in
I quest of information, paid 25 cents for
a glass of beer made from barley
grown by the ex-Confederate soldiers
at Bozeman and sold to the Virginia
breweries for 8 cents a pound, and not
enough could be received to supply the
demand. Table board cost $7 a day
for the very cheapest, and if one slept
in a chair in toe hotel lobby at night,
when the rooms were all rented, he
paid $1.50 for the privilege.
Gold was the only medium of ex
change. A pinch of it, between the
forefinger and the thumb, as has been
said, counted 25 cents. There would
be a tendency with some men to take
just a little bit more. When that ten
dency was noticed in a man he was
given hours to leave town—and it was
seldom over two hours. The wise man
did not stand on ceremony or protest
he "vamoosed." in camp vernacular.
The newspapers of the city sold for
25 cents a copy, red hot from the press,
and full of news of lynchings, new dig
gings. "clean ups," "hold ups," "bad
men" and gossip of a breezy charac
ter. Ham and eggs to order cost $2.50.
Eggs were worth 50 cents apiece and
an ordinary meal of deer or buffalo
meat, with potatoes or coffee and
bread, was never less tb&D $1.50. A
man was very poor to get down to fare
so coarse as that.
It made no difference what a man
might have been back in "the states;"
If he was "on the square" in Virginia
|he was accepted at par.—F. J. Arktns

Queer Figures Dot the Crest of the
Superstitious Mountains.
Among the natural wonders of tlMi
southwestern portion of this country
are the Superstitious mountains, which
loom up from the arid desert to the
east of the Salt river valley.
These mountains are so curious that
the Indians will have nothing to do
with them. In consequence they aro
full of deer, bear and other big game.
The Superstitious mountains rise out
of the level surface of the desert like
the pyramids of Egypt.
On the crest of this unique range and
lu full view of the rarefied atmosphere
for an Immense distance from the plain
are hundreds of queer figures, repre
senting men in all attitudes. When
you look first you are sure they are
men. and when you turn your gaze
again to them you are as absolutely
certain of It as you can be of anything.
They represent ball throwers, out
looks. mere viewers of the country
roundabout, men recumbent and con
templative. others starting a foot race
and in every conceivable posture and
position. They are not real flesh uud
blood men. however—nothing but stone
•yenite—yet nothing can convince the
Indians that they are not gete r*.

Not Sinco the Flood.
Sir Henry Irving once received what
he at the time considered a very pal
pable snub, delivered him by a high
lander. While touring in Scotland the
actor visited some of the notable tradi
tionary scenes associated with Shake
spearean drama. As a matter of course
one of the first pilgrimages was to the
blasted heath where Macbeth met the
witches. In an agreeable mood Sir
Henry as they drove along turned smil
ingly to his driver.
"Are there any witches about now?"
he asked.
The driver whipped up his horses.
"Not since the flood," he replied in
his curt Scots way.
