An order was sent to the Round top mill last week for several thous and feet of flume lumber lor the Jack son, Daly & Co. 's ditch, which will supply the south side of Eagle Point with water for irrigating purposes. I am requested by the parents of the late ChaiJes Knighton to ask The Mail to tondor the thanks of the be reaved families to the kind friends of Foluuce Rock and Eagle Point, who so kindly assisted them at the time of their sad bereavement. One day last week, while Mr. Ow ings was working on the right of way of the M. & C. L. R. Co., a stray bullet from a gun some ' where in the neighborhood it was so far away that the men did not hear the report struck him on the side of the head, cutting a bole through his hat and breaking the skin, but fortunately did not strike square enough to cause much damage. People using long range guns ought to be more careful about shooting in the valley, as those guns shoot with such force they will kill an animal or a man at a long dis tance. New Cure for Cancer.

It may be a piece of superilous ad vice to urge people at this season of the year to luy in a supply of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy. It is al most sure to' be needed before winter is over, and much more prompt and satisfacory results are obtained when tHkeu as soon as a cold is contracted and before it has become settled in the system, which can only be done by keeping the romedy at hand. This remedy is so widely known and so al together good that no one should hes itate about buying it in preference to any other. It is for sale by Chas, Strang. Real Estate Transfers.

Ho Is au active little tyke, is the Pekln duckling, eveu when he doesn't date hack further than day beforo yester day. When It comes to swimming he Is a sight reader, and he Is more de structive to tendor grass than a young Nebuchadnezzar. But unfortunately he is so constructed and flat of back that If by any chance he gets turned wrong side up he cannot turn over again unaided, and unless help comes ho lies there and paddlles the air with his Uttlo feet until he fans himself to death. Ho is cheerful about It, though, and makes no outcry, apparently think ing that because bis legs are working he is swimming along according to Hoyle. My child, a little duck on his back and the average after dinner orator on his feet are both deserving of the sym pathy which we should bo ever ready to bestow on the unfortunate, and therefore wo should sign nil petitions that nre presented to us looking to the establishment of a commission to turn little ducks over and loqunclous gen tlemen down In the hope that If they are prevented from paddling and gab bling themselves to death they may be of some use hereafter. Tom Wat son's Magazine. Heredity mysteries. "If there is much virtue in the doc trine of Inherited qualities, why Is there such a vast difference, as we see In a multitude of instances, between brothers or between sisters?' said an observer of men and things. "Years ago I began to make a study of this matter, and I have a book at home filled with cases bearing on fraternal disparities. I know of a learned jurist, and a most excellent man from every point of view, who has a brother In the penitentiary. I know of a family of six brothers, three of whom were men of the highest social and business stand ing, while the other three were knaves and vagabonds, outcasts from society. They had the same father and mother, the same moral and intellectual train lug. Whence the difference? I know of two sisters, one of whom is an angel aud the other a totally depraved crea ture. Inherited qualities often exist and are influential in the formation of character, but the law of their trans mission is wholly uncertain." Wash ington Post Mot ley's First London Dinner. When Mr. Motley, the historian, was American minister to Loudon ho had trouble at his first dinner party. Mr. Leveson-Gower Bays: "At that tlmo couples were sent in to dinner In pairs, but nobody's place was fixed. Unfor tunately the. Turkish ambassador was allotted to Lady Waldegrave, who did not care to have him as her neighbor. She consequently told him that his place was at the other sde of the ta ble. He, with oriental politeness, did as she bade him and sat down opposite to her. This upset the whole arrange ment. The couples wandered about the room like sheep that were being driven out of a field. Mr, Motley, who had ev ery merit except a good temper, went Into a passion, and I nearly died of laughing." It makes no difference how long you have been sick, if you are trou ble 1 with indigestion, constipation, liver and kidney troubles, llollister's Kooky Mountain Teu will make you well. 35 cents.

A long cable of twist ed leather thongs is stretched from a high point in the battlements of the lama's palnce to the plain below, and two men slide from top to bottom, ly ing on their chests and spreading out their arms as If to swim. The tremeu-f dous rapidity of tlie descent Is fre quently fatal to tlie dancers, but there are never wanting fanatics who will undertake It In the hope of a happy transmigration or adventurers attract ed by the value of the reward offered by the court Father of Electric Rnllwayn. The honor of first suggesting an elec tric railway must bo accorded to Thom as Davenport of Brandon, Vt, black smith and electrician, Inventor and sci entist. In 1834 lie run a toy motor mounted on wheels on a small circular railway, and a year luter he exhibited It at Springfield and at Boston. Then It gave up the ghost, and for more than twoscore years various inventors, In utter ignorance of the principles of the modern dymimo and with no source of power except the zinc burning pri mary battery, labored with small rewards- Century. The Better Way The tissues of the throat are inflamed and irritated; you cough, and there is more irrita tion more coughing. You take a cough mixture and it eases the irritation for a while. You take SCOTT EMULSION and it cures the cold. That's what is necessary. 1 1 soothes the throat because it reduces the irritation ; cures the cold because it drives out the inflammation ; builds up the weakened tissues because it nourishes them back to their natural strength. That's how Scott's Emulsion deals with a sore throat, a cough, a cold, or bronchitis. WE'LL SEND YOU A SAMPLE FREE. SCOTT & B0WHE, "YX1 PERSIAN DISHONESTY.""' It Pcrtueatt-M Every Cln.a of Bool.tr from Illurhu.t to Low-eat. Voracity Is a aenrco nrtlclo In Persia, according to tho Hev. Nnplor Malcolm. In bis "Five Years In tho Persian Town" be writes of conditions In Yozd as follows: "In tbe YezU bazaars prob ably not less tbau one-tblrd of tho speochcB made by Mussulmans are falsehoods. Ouo day a cook of a Euro pean went to tbe bazaar and after tbe usual haggling tlxed tlie price of some meat at 12 kraus for thirteen pounds. 'But,' sold tuo cook, 'you've got your tbumb on tbe scales.' 'Did you think.' retorted the butcber, 'tliat I would giro you meat at tbtrtecn pounds for 12 krans unless I kept my thumb on tuo Bcalcs?' Wo bad a neighbor who was considered a fulrly respectable man whoso solo business was tbe forg ing of seals. "But tho fact is that every class, from the highest to the lowest, Is thoroughly permeated by the leaven of dishonesty. A Mobammcdau assured me that truth speaking and honesty bad nothing to do with religion, but were purely a matter of climate. 'In that case,' said I, 'the people of Persia ought to speak tbe truth very well, for one of tho Greek hlstorlnns who Lived beforo tbe Mohammedan ora declared that the Persians wore famous for speaking tbe truth.' 'But who does not know,' replied the Mohammodan, 'that the climate of a country changes entirely every 2,000 years?' " A SWIMMING POOL. How to Slake One lit n Brook or Run ning Stream, The brook or running stream of natural outdoor water gives a variety of chances for the man who wishes to lire his life aright Tho brook can be converted, without being diverted, Into a swimming pool for boys by building a dam at the point where the banks do a little extra shelving and tend to form a natural basin. Tho bot tom should be spuded out and made more of a reservoir lu its capacity and shape. The dam Itself can be made by a family of boys at the cost of tho lumber and nails involved. The em bankments are sodded. The sides of the spillway are made of wooden posts driven Into tlie ground and boarded up. This makes a box up affair, or rather two boxes, ono on each side of tlie stream. These boxes are fltled with sand, rocks and sods to make a solid cubic piece of reslstnnco. Tho sodded embankments run - across the valley or depression of tho brook hol low to the higher ground. By means of a lever a pole (playing Into a wooden Jawed socket and weighted with a rock or pieces of Iron) the water gate can be opened against a strong headway of water. The water flows over tho top of the spillway when it Is closed, and by raising the gate tlie pond can be emptied or re duced to tlie normul level of tho brook. Country Life In America. THE MALE CRICKET. CarloaH Trent lie Develops For tbe Lady of IIIh Chulcc. . In tho American Naturalist J. L. Hancock gives an interesting descrip tion of some of tlie habits of tho striped meadow cricket Tho most striking part of the occount deals with tho allurements which the male crickets possess. When he wishes to nttract the femalo tlie male cricket raises his fore wlhjrs vertically above his head and by rubbing thorn over each other produces a high pitched singing, or, perhaps better, shrilling. When the female's attention has boon nttrncted she goes to the male and proceeds to take advantage of the re freshments offered. Upon the mate's back, situated well forward on the thorax, la a little depression or well in which a small quantity of semifluid material Is secreted. Climbing up on tlie male's back, tho female eats this apparently delicious morsel .with groat eagerness. - It Is evidently something especially choice which Is formed there for her especial benefit This proceeding suggests that treating as a means of winning a lady's lovo is not confined to the allurements of Ice cream and soda water. Collier's Weekly. Enerlnna's Kewnpapcr Tax. On June 15, 1855, England's newspa per stamp duty was abolished and tho reign of the cheap dally began. Tills "tax on knowledge" was first imposed in 1712 and was made most sovere by tho act of 1820, which fixed it at 8 cents a sheet, with 87 cents fluty on each advertisement The Whigs re duced the duty to a penny In 1830, but when tlie Crimean war broke out and every one wanted the news even a penny duty was found to be Intolera ble. Its repeal Is called tho Magna Chartn of the British press. An Accident, Small Tommy, being reproved by his mother for sonic misdeed, showed his displeasure in his face. "Why, Tommy," said his mother, "aren't you ashamed to make a face at me?" "Yes, mamma," replied tlie little fol low. "I tried to laugh, but my face slipped." Chicago News. I'oKtcd.

Lava- AumrerH for Nupler. Sir Charles Napier bated n man who had not nu unswor ready for him. lie once asked ltlcliard Burton, the explor er, how many bricks there were lu a newly built bridge. Richard, knowing his foible, 'answered without hesita tion, "Two li mul red and twenty-nine thousand and ten, Sir Charles." He turned away mid smiled. Another time ho ordered a roview on a grand scale to Impress certain chiefs, "Liou tenant Burton, be pleased to Inform these gentlemen that I propose to form these men into lino, then to break Into echelon by tho right and to form square on the center battalion," and so on, for about flvo minutes, in military tech nical terms for which there were no equivalents in these men's dialects. "Yes, sir," said Richard, saluting. Turning to the chiefs, Richard said, "Oh, chiefs, our great man 1b going to show you tho way we fight, and you must bo attentive to tho rules!" He then touched his cap to Sir Charles. "Have you explained nil?" ho asked. "Everything, sir," answered Richard. "A most concentrated language tlint must be," said Sir Charles, riding off with his nose In tlie air. The Stranircttt Kins, The strongest king on record, bo the story goes, appears to have been Catus Julius Verus Maxlmus, tho son of u Thractan peasant and emperor of Rome. It is related that with one of his fingers he stopped a chariot dash ing by at full speed, that he could draw a loaded wagon, by a blow of his fist could break the hardest stones between his fingers and split trees with his hand. This redoubtnblo sovereign wus eight feet high, and his wife's bracelets served him for finger rings. Wo have passed over Og, tho king of Bushan, who, as the rabbis soy, was nourly six miles high, drank water from tlie clouds and toasted fish by holding them up to the sun and who, when Noah refused htm shelter in the ark, survived those troublous times by wading through tlie flood, which only reached to his knees, nnd of Atlns, king of Mauritania, who Is said to have sup ported the world upon his shoulders. A Hored I'rlncuNR, F, Leveson-Gower, long prominent In England, published n volume of rem iniscences, in which ho tells tlie story of Princess Lleveu: "What tlie prin cess chiefly suffered from was iutenso boredom, which amounted almost to a disease. If nobody called durlug the afternoon, she would roll on tho floor from cuuul. On one occasion, when on her way from England, sho got so much alarmed at tlie prospect of trav eling from Calais to Paris alono that she offered a scat In her cnrrlago to a respectable looking clergyman on board tho steamer, which ho joyfully accept ed. When seated beside her, he talked so incessantly as to drive her wild. She could only relievo her feelings by put-i ting her head out of the window and screaming out to tlie wlnu, 'II m'eunulc 11 m'eunuie!' (Ho fatigues me.)" A Clever Runc When Thurlow was lord chancellor of England ho was much at outs with the bishop of London. The latter was visited one day by a clergyman who sought appointment to a fat living then vacant. Ho wanted a letter of recom mendation to Lord Thurlow, but the bishop said such n letter was likely to do more harm tliau good. Nevertheless he wrote it. When Thurlow read the missive ho said, "Well, as that scoun drel, tho bishop of London, has intro duced you, you won't get tho living." "So tlie bishop said, my lord," was tho meek reply. "Did tlie bishop say so?" roared Thurlow. "Then I'll prove him a liar, for you shall have tho living." And he was as good ns his word. Goud llotli Wuj-h. Bishop Wilson of Calcutta, whose speeches nre often quoted, had tlie happy faculty of saying tho right thing at all times. On ono occasion two young people whoso fathers were famous for their diverse and peculiar views on Biblical subjects came to see tho bishop. "Ah," said ho as he greeted ono. "your father wrote a great work on tho Apocalypse. I congratulate you on being tlie daughter of such n man." Then, turning to his other guest, he Bald : "And your f atlier forbore to write about tho Apocalypsea wise forbearance. You are to bo congrat ulated on having so wise a father." A ntfiliop'H Pun. Henry Kilos Pierce, Episcopal bishop of Arkansas, was as inveterate and clever a punster ns the noted English divine, Sydney Smith. On ono occa sion a lady In expressing her admira tion of his erudition exclaimed: "Why, bishop, you aro a perfect ocean of learning." "No, mndum," was tho modest re joinder, "I'm only a part of tho see of Arkansas." Womo Than Ea1 Africa.

"Come back for something you've forgotten, as usual?" said the husband. "No," replied his wife sweetly, "I've come back for something I remember ed."
