"There is quite a difference between staging in the early days of the- state and now," said William Miller, the owner of ' the stage line running- from Cazadcro to Ukiah, to a San Francisco Cull man. . -. . " "When I came here i from Boston in 1854, I drifted about, a bit. and finally went into the service of Charles Mc Laughlin, the man who was afterward killed by Jerome Cox. He was the owner of the longest stage line at that time. It ran with relays from San Jose to Los Angeles. ' "I remember once, in a lonely coast range canyon, through which the road wound, we had a little experience that was thrilling- for the moment. It was about ten o'clock and a moonlight night. I was just putting the horses through.- The stage was full of pas sengers, and there was a heavy treasure box. . "Just as I got around a bend in the road I saw the figure of a man on horseback standing by the side of the road. He yelled to stop, and I saw a gun barrel gleam in the moonlight. The horses were going at a speed that might be called breakneck, and I just made up my mind to take the chances of getting through. I saw the gun raised to the fellow's shoulder as we approached. I had my long whip in my hand, and with a desperation born of peril of the moment I made a vicious swipe at him. "I don't know how it occurred, but the lash wound itself around the gun, and as we dashed by the whip was drawn taut, and I knew it had caught, so held fast. I was nearly pulled out of my seat, but the gun wis dragged from the robber's hand and fell to the ground, at the same time it was dis charged by the shock. It rattled along the road for quite a distance before the whiplash unwound itself. I don't know what the highwayman thought, but IH bet he was surprised." TREASURES OF JEYPORE. Splendor of the ll&lls of Some of the Jfoble Falaces. Myriad slender shafts of blue-veined alabaster and rose-tinted stone sur rounded by fretted arcades carried out the prevailing idea of airy lightness. and the snowy cupolas above that sanc tum sanctoriuaii in the heart of the building known as "the Crown of the Palace" look as though a breath would carry them away like balls of thistle down into the blue vault of Heaven. Priceless treasures are contained with in the walls of the maharajah's prince ly abode, and a volume of the Mahab harata, one of the two great epic poems of ancient India, is the gem of the his toric collection. This curiously illum inated manuscript, written in Persian character, was executed by the com mand of Emperor Akbar, who paid a lac of rupees, a sum equivalent to forty thousand pounds sterling, to the scribe who' accomplished the laborious task. Golden margins and brilliant colors plow with unfcTded freshness. and the delicacy of the poetical cali graphy suggests the utmost refinement of culture. Antique portraits on silver, copper, shell and foil decorate the mar ble walls of the "Hall of Splendor," which forms a noble vestibule to the Shish Mahal, a glass pavilion glisten ing with crystal chandeliers multiplied by reflection in countless mirrors. Mar ble alcoves overlook a green plaisance shaded by a plantation,. where the scar let stars of blossoming poinsettias brighten the gloom of the banyan trees, which form a roof of verdue with inter lacing boughs. ' BELIEVES IN MAGIC. The Indian lias Some Carious Notions About Plants and Animals. Very reluctantly do civilized Indians give up their ideas of magic. The idea of worshiping growing objects is quite a settled one among the . tribes, and some of the stories which connect corn and flowers with beneficent tieities are very pleasing and attractive. Animals, too, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, are spoken of in a very singular and superstitious manner, and the different sizes of beasts which are hunted is ac counted for in a story of the creation which is even more realistio and prac tical than the one told in the first chap ter of Genesis. This story, which is frequently repeated with variations, is that at the time of the creation all the beasts of the field and forests clamored for priority in size. Each was vain gloi ious and dictatorial, and one after another was being humbled by being made smaller than a hated enemy, the idea being that everything human and otnerwise tnat was born bad a prior existence and came into the world with the benefit of experience thus derived, The doctrine of the transmigration of souls is so general among Indians of various tribes that there was nothing at all peculiar about this, and it is very probable that some of the early writers on this subject got their 'ideas from ex ceptionally intelligent exponents of In dian iiuddhism, or something very 6imi lar to it. Chinese Mourning. The monthly bills of the Washington Gas Light company are printed on paper of a peculiar, dirty yellow tint which happens to be the exact hue. of the Chi nese emblem of mourning. The long strips are left regularly at the doors of all houses in the city, and at the Chi nese legation among the rest. Just after the change in ministers the strip was left as usual in the vestibule of the legation, and, being carried to the new minister, affected him profoundly. It was evidently intended, ke thought, S . notifes.t:r.r: cf cmsbody'o dcuih, and as it was left at the legation door it doubtless indicated the bereavement of some t family ' high in official life.

' WIVES EASILY OBTAINED. How Charity Oirls Are Given In Marriage to Deserving Italian Feasants. At the far end of Naples lies the lit tle church of Santa Maria Annunziata, which, once a year, on the day of Our Lady, wakes up into a brief life and excitement. In a silent row before a high altar kneel thirty girls, all in black garments, with folded hands, and eyes fixed on the picture of the Madonna before them. These are orphans from the neigh boring foundling asylum, says the Chi cago, Inter Ocean, and once a year those who have reached the age of eighteen are brought here to the church and may be chosen in marriage by any honest man whose papers are in order and whose character is good. At the door leading to the sacristy leans, a gray-haired priest, the head of the asy lum. By and by a young man makes his way from the back of the church and hands him a packet of papers. These the priest reads carefully, and, being satisfied, he gives them back and leads the candidate toward tfiie row of girls. Their eyes are fixed more steadfastly than ever on the altar, their hands are clasped tighter together, their faces turn a shade paler, their hearts beat quicker as the young man walks slowly along the row. At last he stops; his choice is made. He stretches out his hand with a little smile. The girl rises, casts a long look, half thanks, half entreaty, at the picture of the Madonna, puts her hand into that of the stranger, and together they .disappear -into the sacristy. The ice being thus broken, other suitors come forward. VALUE OF ALFALFA. The Wonderful Vitality of liar Growth. This Feeu- The desert wastes of New Mexico and Arizona may yet be broad fields of pasturage covered with herds of fat tening cattle if the hopes of the men who arc deeply interested in certain experiments are realized. The expec tations of these men. says the San Francisco Call, are based upon the won derful vitality of alfalfa or Mexican clover, the growth of which is aston ishingly rapid and a field of which will yield several crops in a season. Its l-oots are said to go far down in search of moisture, sometimes to a depth of eighteen to twenty feet, and its nutri tious properties and the avidity wita which stock cat -it are well known, The large land and live stock invest ment companies which are now operat ing in Jiew Mexico and Arizona have, as an essential part of their schemes of utilizing the desert lands, the growing of large tracts of alfalfa with which to feed their range cattle and other stock. At one ranch alone, the La Cuoca, in Mora county, N. M., one thousand head of range cattle are now being fed and fattened for market on alfalfa. The Mexican clover is grown by aid of mod ern irrigation, and the ' lands laid down to it tend to improve in fertility. Stockmen down in that country have lost all faith in the prowess of modern rainmakers and their schemes; and they are running their efforts into more practicable channels. INGENIOUS SMUGGLING. False Bank Notes Carried Into Russia in Holloiv Fencils. "One of the. most ingenious devices for. smuggling was detected it Russia not long ago," said O. L. EatoVitcb,. of St. Petersburg, as recorded by the" St Louis Globe-Democrat. ' ' "A great number of false bank notes had been put into circulation within the dominions of the czar. They could only have been imported, and although the strictest search was made habit ually over every vessel entering a Rus sian port, no trace of the smuggling of false notes was discovered. Accident however, at last brought the mystery to light. It happened that several cases of lead pencils . arrived one day from England, aiid while" being exam ined one of them fell Out from a pack age, and the custom house officer, pick ing it up, cut it to a point and used it to sign the orders which delivered up the pencils to the. consignee. He kept the loose pencil for his own use, and a few days afterward, because, it needed a good point, he cut it again and found that there was no more lead. He cut still further, and was surprised to find a thin roll of paper nested in the hollow place where the lead was supposed to be. : The paper was. one ; of the false notes, and in this, way they had been smuggled into the country." The House ol Ilapsbura;. Rudolph von napsburg,' riding to his Swiss home from hunting, came upon a priest carrying the sacrament to a sick man. The priest on foot was stopped by a river. Rudolph immediately dis mounted, set the priest and sacrument on horseback and led the steed by the rein to the sick man's house. He de clined to take the horse again to daily use, but gave it to the priest for ihe service of the church. Remembering this deed, Werner, archbishop of Mainz, in 1273, procured the election of Ru dolph as king of the Romans and Kais er. Hence we have : the source and fount of the proud imperial house of Hapsburg. Schiller enhances the le gend in one of the best of his ballads. "Der Graf von Hapsburg.". It may be mentioned that the late heir to the im perial throne of Austria was named after his illustrious ancestor, Rudolph. He Knew the Law. ' A certain justice-of the peace from the state of Iowa, having arrived pre vious to a trial at a conclusion upon a question of law highly satisfactory "to himself, refused to entertain ar. argu- uieut by xlw opposing counsel.
