A NICARAGUAN HEROINE.
How a
Soldier's Daacitn Defeated
Capt. Xelaon'a Force.
It is well1 known that Lord Nelson,
the hero of Trafalgar, : had . but one
eye, and it is commonly supposed' that
he lost it in the ordinary fortunes of
war. Such, however, is. not the truth, if
the story current in Nicaragua may be
believed. In. 1780 England sent out an
expedition to enforce her claims to cer
tain lands adjoining the isthmus. - The
point of attack was Fort San Carlos at
San Juan del Norte. : Two hundred
sailors and marines under the leader
ship of Capt. Kelson were Jan-died. The
cowardly garrison of Spanish soldiers
deserted: the commandant, but he re
fused to leave. 'His daughter. Donna
Rafaela Mora, a girl of 15, Temained by
his side end determined to do all she
could' for her father and for her coun
try. She took up her position behind
an embrasure, seized a gun and when
the party adiYHncedi fired directly at
their leader. He fell, his eye pierced by
a bullet. His followers were instantly
thrown into confusion, and the garri
son, seeing its opportunity and inspired
by this young heroine, returned to duty
awl succeeded in driving the English
forces back tto their boats.
Donna Rafaela Mora was decorated
by the king of Spain, commissioned a
colonel in the royal service and pen
sioned. for life. .;"
." Nelson's "biographers merely state
that he was repulsed at Fort- San Car
los, and claim that he lost his eye in
Corsica.' The foregoing story has, how
ever, been considered' authentic, and by
reason of it Gen. Martinez, the grand
son of Donna Rafaela, was sufficiently
popular to be elected president of tne
republic, inf 1857 by a grateful people.

Italian Paper. '
The manufacture of paper, cardboard
nnd kindred articles is becoming in
Italy an important and growing indus
try, the annual exports amounting to
$2,500,000, an increase of 50 per cent, in
white and packing paper within five
years, and of 25 per cent, in cardboard.
Piedmont, Liguria, Lombardy and Ven
etia are the principal centers of this
manufacture, but there are a number
of mills at other points. There are now
about 450 paper mills, employing some
20,000 horse-power, and 20,000 hands,
over 50 of the establishments manufac
turing wood pulp. Detroit Free Press.
Ice-Breakina; Ships.
Vice Admiral Makarow, of the Rus
sian navy, has been studying the con
structionandfuseof powerful ice-breaking
ships. At a recent meeting of the
Imperial Geographical society at St.
Petersburg, he expressed his belief
that with two such ships, each of 10,000
horse-power, acting together, a line of
free water communication could be
kept open in winter to the port of St.
Petersburg, and he added that they
could even force their way through,
the glacial ocean if the thickness of the
ice dad not exceed 13 feet. Youth's

FOUND IN A FISH.
Cnrioua
Fact About the
"Mnrray
Cod" of Australia.
There is a large fish found in the
rivers of western Australia known as
the "Murray Cod." This fish which is
delicious for the tabic is remarkable
for its size, sometimes weighing- as
much, as 150 pound's; but the strangest
thing- about it is the fact that it car
ries around a photograph inside its
body. At least the natives say that it
is a photograph, and certainly it looks
like one.
. When the Murray cod is cut open a
bladder is seen, extending- oTong- the
backbone from just behind the gills to
the fatty part of the tail. In a 30
pound fish the bladder is about 12
inches long antii an inch or more in
width. Within this is a film,- or thin
membrane, through which runs a deli
cate tracery composed of a multitude
of little red lines, interlacing like the
frost work on a window pane in win
ter. This film can be peeled off and
spread upon a sheet of paper or a piece
of cloth, to which it readily adheres.
It then forms a very pretty picture.
Sometimes it .. looks like a bit of
pressed seaweed; sometimes it Beems to
portray a miniature landscape with a
dark forest background; but in most
cases it presents a surprisingly distinct
outline of a single tree, tbe Australian
gum tree, a species of eucalyptus
To explain this singular fact the ab
origines have an ingenious theory.
They say that the picture thus im
printed on the membrane represents
the tree which overshadows the pool
where the big fish made its haunt in
short, that it is a real photograph.
Fanciful as the notion seems, it gains
a certain plausibility from the known
habits of the fish, which is extremely
solitary and exclusive in its ways. The
Murray cod- really does make its home
in some forest-shadowed pool, to which
it always returns after its excursions
abroad' for food or exercise, leading a
curiously hermit-like existence; it will
allow no otheT member of its species to
intrude upon its domain. Here the sul
len creature spends its life, year in and
year out; . it never changes its resi
dence. Here it-grows from insignificant
minnowhood" until it becomes a king
among fishes, as big and heavy as a
well-developed man, and for the greater
part of each day the shadow of its fa
vorite tree falls upon its slimy back.
It is little Wonder, therefore, that the
untutored'bnt imaginative savages, puzzled-
by the lifelike picture which they
find in the bladder conclude that the
familiar scene has become photo
graphed In the creature's very, sub
stance. N. Y. Journal. - -.".

Its Later Development nnd Ita Wide-
' ly Extended ITae.
"In no one single thing," said the
middle-aged man, according to ' the
New York Sun, "has there been a great
er advance since I was a boy than in
the introduction of the door Kpriner into
comparatively common use. 1 Buppose
there must be now hundreds of patents
on door springs. Some of the springs
are well-nigh perfect. It is difficult to
see in what respect they could be im
proved. But the main fact is the
door spring itself and its common use
in buildings of a more or less ; public
character, and many others as well.
"We don't shut doors now. nearly as
much as we used to; we don't stop to
shut them. , We are spared that trouble
and we save time. We open the door
and push on through and leave the door
take care of itself. In the time that it
would have taken us to close it we are
six, eight or ten feet off; but the door
is not neglected; it shuts itself, calm
ly, quietly and with certainty, as the
man marches away. There is less slam
ming of doors now than ever, and few
er doors are left open; end the saving
of time effected by the use of the self
closing door is in the aggregate tre
mendous. " . .
"Truly in no minor feature is the
progress of civilization more apparent
than in the present common use of the
door spring." . ....
A NEW WESTERN IDEA.
Girla Who Give Gold Models of Their
Little Finger to Their Betrothed.
"Do girls here give gold models of
their little fingers to their fiances?"
asked the western girl of the Gotham
ite, reports the New York Sun. -
"Heavens, no!" answered the Goth
amite, "It seems to me that that is
rather a grewsome souvenir."
"Not at all," answered the western
girl; "it is decidedly dainty, and I'm a
little surprised that New York is so far
behind the times. The fad started in
this way. When the daughter of one
of our .big western politicians was six
months old he had a model of her little
finger cast in gold. Around the little
dimpled digit is a ring of turquoise,
which is her birth stone, and it makes
alovelycharmforher betrothed's watch
chain. He valued it so much that it
set other men to thinking, and the re
sult is that as soon as a girl wraps one
of these chaps around her own little
finger sufficiently for a proposal to fol
low he immediately insists upon a gold
facsimile of the flesh and blood orig
inal. It is a pretty conceit, and is be
ing followed by every westerner who
is in subjection to somebody's little
finger."
A SPRY MAINE GIRL.
Works Bcr Fatncr'a Dairy Farm, and
When Grown Will Be a. Doctor,
All the" way from East Orringtoh to
Bangor the people are talking about
and praising Sarah Curran, the 16-year-
old daughter of Nick Curran, a dairy
farmer. Curran has been confined to
the house iy rheumatic fever for six
weeks, and every morning Sarah has
been up at three o'clock to do the
chores. When she and her mother
have milked 18 cows and put them to
pasture, she eats her breakfast, and by
the time the other milkmen are getting
up she is on the milk cart on her way to
Banger. When she has gone over c
good port of the city, supplying cus
tomcrs with, milk m pint and quart
lots, she turns the horse lor home, ar
riving there in time to take dinner. In
the afternoon she attends to the farm
work and docs other tasks that usually
devolve upon a man. After supper she
helps to milk the 18 cows and goes to
bed early, to get a good start the next
morning.
Though she does the work of a man,
she is not at ail mannish in her ways.
ucir.g cr sligiit frame and very modest
Until she left school two years ago to
help her rather cn the farm she was
considered the brightest pupil in her
class. 4ice then most of her life has
been passed outdoors. She has driven
a pr.ir of horses to haul cordwood to
n:arket, taking it from the stump in the
forest to the dooryr.rd cf her customers
and ur.loaii-g- it without trouble. She
says that v. hc:i che reaches 13 years of
aje-by which lime her father ought
to be well-to-do she 13 going away to
scuocl and tke a course in same col
lege that 'grants equal privileges to
both sexes.' After yetting educated
she proposes to bet:ori;c a doctor.

Boys in the cast ,-:ae limes think
money a searc ecouph r.rtiele, but they
really know very little about it com
pared with what some cf their cousins
from the far -west could tell them.
There or.e often gecc. fcr days without
5!ght of even to much as a nickel, and
then the people .resort to all sorts of
flucer aevices to mclce change, says
tha San Francisco Chronicle.
An eastern man who had occasion to
spend many months in 'Montana tells
of having seen a man buy a bes of
matches with a wacrraelon and receive
as change two muskmelons. Another
paid for supsenders in turnips and got
a carrot or two back with his purchase.
"But of a!l the queer financial trans
actions that I have ever known," said
he, "ite oddest came under the head of
'paying the fiddler.'. It had been noised
abroad that a dance was to be irfven a
little way up 'the mountain, and I
agreed to go along with one of the boys
and see the f'jn. After going through
the elaborate preparations-of blacking
his boots and putur.g on a collar I saw
my companion go to the potato bin and
carefully select a Cccn nice potatoes
and put them in his pocket. !fo sooner
had we arrived nt the 'music hall than
he gracefully surrendered his vegeta
bles for an entrance ticket. But what
puzzled me recFt was that upon coming
out after dancing all night he was
given two Onions as change. I have
been trying to make up my mind ever
since just what that dance was worth
in the 'currency of the realm.."
