SclKMTisrs are beginning to believe
the fountain of youth that baa been
talked of for ages is the traditional
recollection of a knowledge of the
laws that renew and perpetuate life,
and thev are hopeful of a restoration
of that knowledge to man. When he
has that knowledge restored to him,
the' fountain of youth will have been
found and man cannot grow old. He

James McMases of Philadelphia
died on the morning of the 23rd of
November, aged 77 years. He was
born in Ireland but was brought to
Philadelphia whn 8 years of age.
rr was apprenticed in a thread. milL
- awhile he became a proprietor
-fty business man. The great
-mh'-ntr feature of bis life was
vj reopies Ban t when the conrernJ
was wrecked. He said not one' man
shall lose by the failure of the Bank.
He paid its debts that amounted to
four hundred thousand dollars. If
ever a man in Philadelphia deserved
a monument it was James McManes.
He was a great man. Only great
men are honest.
The government is reported as
baving information that the Maine
was blown up by the Spaniards from
the outside It is said gun cotton
was used. The gnu cotton was fast
ened in a can to a buoy anchored
elevea feet under water in such a
position that when the Maine swung
around with the tide she struck the
case of gun cotton attached to the
buoy. The ease of gin-cotton had
a cap to it which was Bet off when
the Maine struck it, and the explo
sion followed. The gun cotton came
out of the Spanish arsenal at .Hav
ana. The men who committed the
diabolical aet may be discovered.
The power of gun eotton as an ex.
plosion may be approximated when
it is considered that an ounce of it
has power enough to blow an ordin
ary sized house to pieces.
A HEW PARTHEB START.
Mr. Rosswell, a creamery man of
Portland, Oregon, met with a rather
thrilling adventure recently, while
visiting a dairy farm down the Col
umbia While on his way to the
farm, which is in the hills some dis
tance back from the river, evening
came on and two panthers came out
of the woods seeking whom they
might devour. Mr. Roswell flew for
a tree, np which be ascended till the
stars twinkled like arc lamps. He
remained there and the panthers
watched below tiH 3 o'clock in the
morning, when a native came over
the hill on his way borne from a
dancing party, singing: "We won't
go home till morning,'' in a style
which caused the panthers to take to
their heels. Then Mr. Rosswell
descended in a hurry and scared the
daylight out of the wandering min
strel, who thought old Nick was after
him. He ran in one direction and
Mr. Roswoll in another, and if any
panthers ever find either of them in
that neck of woods again late at night,
tney can eat tnem and welcome.

AN INDIAN DETECTIVE

Arkk-hlta, a typical Indian, was chief
acont at Fort Slsaeton. Dakota, In 1882.
Although be knew English well, be
held tbe old Indian hatred of its use,
and would never speak It except under
extraordinary circumstances. lie stood
about five feet nine Inches iu height,
was slender, but wiry, and was about
34 years of age. prdlnaiily he was
alow and sedate In his actions very
dignified; but when the necessity arose,
he could be as quick as a flash, and
had, like every Indian on the north
western plains, a pair of eyes that
could equal any fieldglass.
His services for he had been em
ployed as a scout for some years had
been very valuable to the government,
and. In recognition of this fact, the offi
cer in command had secured authority
from the war department tu promote
him to the rank of sergeant; conse
quently he Went around in a neat uni
form with chevrons and stripes, very
lunch Impressed with his own impor
tance, which he considered second only
to that of tbe commanding officer; and
he took care that every one else also
should res'iect his rank and dignity.
As bis native name is tbe Sioux for
"soldier," It Is easily seen why he was
so named; but he had still another
name, which tbe Indians had given
him liefore his entering military cir
cles, and that, translated Into English,
was the "grasswalker," or "trailer,"
from his absolutely marvelous ability
to find the trail of anything that left
even the slightest trace on the ground
as it passed over It. -
A desperate soldier named Urlce
broke jail one ulght and was pursued
the following morning. The trail led to
the west for a trine over a mile; then it
turned north for a quarter of a mile
and we followed until wc came to a
tree at the edge of a slough to the
northwest of the fort, called the "gar
den liar slough." Here Arklchita point
ed under tlie tree and said 1 trier? bad
lain down there tu rest.
The trail here b-d into tbe slongh.
A Dakota "slough" is a shallow Inte,
the water of which ia from six laches
tu three feet deep, with a .soft, udly
bottom, but not generally miry. The
center of the slough bi usually free
from grasses or weedu, but along (he
edges, from 20 to UU yards out, long
tule grass grows.
This particular slough was a mile
long and varied from an eighth to a
quarter oi a mile lu width, nml there
was n foot of water covering as much
soft mud. rnirlng the night tlie wind
had roiled the water np considerably.
It seemed hardly iossl!de to track any
thing through It. except where the tule
had been broken doTjn. Where that
was the case, even I could follow the
trail; on reaching open water, however,
the case was different.
The eastern end of the Klungh reached
to a point ne-.ir the fort not more titan
150 yards from a brickyard, on whfelt
was a kiln that had lieen built during
the sum mer. Tlie kiln was now ready
for firing.
Once I thought Arklchita was baffled,
after all; he had come to a dead stand
still near tbe tule. Then an inspiration
struck me; perbnM by a circle I could
find tbe trail. Ilawy -thought! 1 put it
'-to immediate execution and found
'her elated at my auccesa, I
me quick; heap trail!" ne
took one look: Just the stig--:,nrtlMla.ved

' JW."
I did -no-iore trailing, but under
stood what was lKthering him. The
post herd also had- waded through here
since Itrice's escape, and it took all tlw
scout's endless patience and wonderful
eyesight to keep tlie trail where the
cattle had passed through It. The grass
stem was of no use lien.
We had passed over half the slough
in this circuitous route, when sudden
ly Arklchita started, straight as the
crow flies, for the edge of the slough
tucar the brk-kkiln. Was lie loliowing
the trail?
tin he went until he came to the
shore nearest the kiln; here he stopjied.
evidently bothered again. There was a
scarcely discernible footprint in the
mud and water right at the edge of the
slough, apiiarectly the L.st step t!io de
serter luid taken before reaching hard
ground. This footprint sho wed the toi-s,
so the deserter was now !nrefootcd.
Another thing alout this print was Its
direction; it stood at right angles to the
line previously followed. Either the
nian had taken a sideward spriug for
the land from his right foot, or ho had
turned around and started back over
hU own trail.
Arkiciiita went down on his knees
and iusjiected the grass, blade by
blade. I kept a resiiectful distance at
one side, astonished at ths tt:rn tlie
affair had taken. Now. Inch by inch,
on Ills knees, he wrenched the secret
from the apparently unwilling surface
of the earth. Eighty yards from the
kiln, he looked up ai-l glanced at it

HIS OWN PORTRAIT.
How am Artist PalIn a, Plctare of
Hlasaelf.
it has lieen a common practice with
artists of all ages and countries to
paint their own plcytrca, auu at tne
l-rHl .-.illorv in Florence can be seen a
magnificent collection of portraits of
the world's great painters tione oj
themselves. It is a coveted houor to be
Invited to contribute one'a own portrait
to this collection, for one must be emi
nent before this compliment is paid. As
may be easily understood, painting
one's own portrait ia a somewhat troti
ttioojinm t.-isk. for the im Inter must do
a good deal from memory, es'ieclnlly
if he puts himself In an attitude wmcu
it la difficult to retlect lu a mirror. A
straightforward iiortrnlt looking out of
the picture is obviously the easiest to
manage, for the painter has only to
place the mirror In front of him to see
bis model. v.
Triple nml quadruple mirrors must
be employed when the attitude is in
any way removed from full fat. A
profile would be more difficult to see
for oneself, but a three-quarter face
would lie no less so. as In lioth cases
the artist .would lie working from a re
flection of a reflection, which, to say
the least of it, is a liotherlng condition.
The looking at oneself for a long
time la one of the strange ami trying
condition of painting one's own por
trait, (or difficulties and complexities
appear to grow tbe snore one tries to
grapple wtth them. Like the road to
tbe tired traveler, which seems to
lengthen as lie goes, so the difficulties
of painting oneself flp'ienr to Increase
ra titer tiuin diminish the more one
looks at oneself. ,
Apart from painting one's one por
trait, artists largely draw from them
selves, for a man can more easily as
nnme a uurtlcular attitude than get
another person to do so. Then for de
tails, such as a hand, arm. nose. eye.
tm artist and a mirror supply all that
Is required. Another of the many uses
of a mirror is to reverse the work dur
ing Its progress, as reversing a draw
ing will often Tcvcal nu awkwardness,
want ot lialaucc or faulty drawing,
which might otherwise go undetected.
