MYEET TIOLET MATHISEX.
When the school trustees of the .own
of Cornalbin received from New York
an application signed "Violet Mathisen,"
for the position of head teacher of the
town school's intermediate department,
which had been advertised as vacant,
they formally replied by post that the
applicant could appear before the board
at a specified time, if she could do so at
her own expense. But the trustees
wrote, further, that it was only fair to
Miss Mathisen to inform her that there
were sixty applicants for the position,
some of them beiug well and favorably
known at Cornalbin, and that the adver
tisement had not been published because
the board lacked material from which to
select, but merely in accordance with
one of the bv-laws governing the board.
Yes, Miss Violet Mathisen went from
New York to Cornalbin; and within five
minutes of her trembling entrance into
the presence of the board, her success
was assured. As she had traveled two
hundred miles to present herself for ex
amination, each one of the five trustees
thought it would be simply courteous to
ask her a question or two by way of for
malitv, particularly as she looked like a
sweet, helpless, little thing, and thus
she was enabled to capture each member
in turn. She picked apart Squire
Bloker's test problem in the rale of three
and it was a very knotty one so
quickly that the Squire forgot where li9
was, and admiringly murmured, "Well,
I'll ba darned!" She answered correctly
a question or two in chemistry, put by
Dr. Pestle, the village apothecary, who
never forgot the shop on such occasions.
She wound the editor of the Sentinel
around her finger during a drawn battle
over a grammatical puzzle, ind when
asked by Schoffler, who sold beer and
represented the German population,
whether she knew any language but her
own, Bhe repeated a "Piatt Deutsch"
couplet that caused . Schotfler's' eyes to
twinkle. The most obdurate member of
the board was young Fallis, rector of the
fashionable chuieh at Cornalbin; he re
garded all witching women, as this
c rest are seemed to be, as emissaries of
Satan, so to bring the other trustees to
their senses he put a few questions of a
serious and personal nature; but when
Miss Mathisen changed the cheerful yet
appealing look of her large, deep eyes to
one of deep solemnity, dropped her curly
brown head, crossed her hands on ber
breast and began to .repeat the Nicene,
Creed as an answer, the young clergy
man caught his breath quickly and re
moved his glasses as if to get a better
yiew of this unfamiliar character.
Before Miss Mathisen left the room
she had in her possession an appoint
ment as head teacher of the intermediate
department, it was in writing, and duly
signed by the chairman and secretary of
the board. After she had thanked the
members for their kindness nnd assured
them that she shonld be obliged to de
pend upon them, collectively and indi
vidnally, for counsel, she departed to
llook for a boarding place. The members
of the board looked at each other sheep
ishly for a moment, and then Squire
. Bloker said: -
"I shouldn't wonder if we'd find we'd
made foois of ourselves."
"Don't mention it," said the druggist.
"for I know we have.
"Perhaps," said the clerical m9mb3r,
seizing his hat in some haste, "if the
gentlemen will excuse me, I may be able
to assist her in finding a Christian
home."
The young rector found Miss Mathisen
in the ante-room, among the other can
didates; Bhe had not been there five
minutes, but she had already succeeded
in becoming acquainted with nearly ev
eryone; she bad said that she believed
she had succeeded. She could hardly
understand why she would never haVe
came had she imagined there were so
many applicants she hoped none of
them would hate her and so on, until
eaoh of - the disappointed ones felt it
was better to be defeated by this sweet
little thing from the city than by any
of their lifelong acquaintances. And
before the young clergyman had an op
portunity to broach the subject of a
boarding place, one of the unsuccessful
competitors for the teachers! ip, but nev
ertheless, a girl smart enough to know
that young men would congregate
wherever Violet Mathisen might live,
had secured the new teacher as an in
mate of her own home.
The maiden who had thus obtained
Miss Mathisen as a fellow loJger found
that she had been entirely right in her
conjectures, for the little boarding
house of which the two were inmates
soon had the liveliest parlor in the town.
Miss Mathisen's faculty for finding ac
quaintances was simply unequalled;
she seemed to have no preferences, she
certainly was not forward or in any way
indelicate, yet her manner was so full of
appeal and trustfulness that every man
she met adored her as soon as she spoke
to him. She lost one Sunday at church
by the, non-arrival of her trunks, for
wKStli c Vi a tia.1 f a! aorartlia1 ma afrr r.
' she received her appointment, but when
on the second Sunday she entered the
ohuroh just before service began, the en
tire congregation surrendered at discre
tion, for although her cloak and hat
were at least fifty degrees too gay for
the occasion, according to Cornalbin
standards, their fit was perfect and they
were in entire harmony with the figure
and face they sheltered.
For a fortnight the whole town was in
accord with Miss Mathisen, who had
bean known almost from the first as
'Sweet Violet;" afterward everybody
was almost at sword's point about her.
Some young men hated all other men
whosDoketo her; many young women
fwaused her of coaxing their sweethearts
away, whenever alias juatnisen neara
any of tnese complaints sue made baste
to disown any intention or Knowledge to
disturb anybody's peace of mind; she
was only a school teacher and a stranger;
she was devoted to her work and she had
no claim of any kind upon the timtj and
attention of any gentleman in the Til
lage. This explanation satisfied some young
women, but when young men heard of it
at least a score of them resolved that
"Sweet Violet" should not long remain
able to disown all ties tenderer than that
of mere acquaintanceship.
Among these was Rector Fallis, Dr.
Pestle and Squire ; Bloker. The latter
was not exactly a young man, but he was
a widower, owned considerable property
and had no gray hairs, he naturally con
sidered himself young enough for tho
matrimonial market. All three felt that
they had some advantage over the gener
al crowd by rtason of their official posi
tion, for they could frame proper ex
cuses for calling on Miss Mathisen at
almost any hour of the day, and even at
the school house, where no one else
dared go. Against one another.however,
they were rather evenly pitted, and out
siders hardly knew which was the most
fortunate the rector.who could talk with
"Sweet Violet" about church and Sunday
school work, or Pestle, of whom the
young lady purchased stationery, toilet
articles and occasional medicines, or the
squire, who kept the best stocked gener
al store in the village, and conseqneutly
saw Miss Mathisen frequently in the way
of business.
The young rector was the first to try
conclusions with fate. He made a spec
ial call for the purpose and talked of the
Church having been likened to a bride,
beeause a bride was the most desirable
and lovely creature on earth. Miss
Mathisen listened demurely and sweetly;
she agreed with him entirely, but she
dashed his hopes to fragments by going
into eostacies over the theory that the
church should be the only bride of the
clergy, for did it not demand and de
serve their every thought? As she said
afterward to the yoang lady who had
found her a boarding place, a clergyman
with only a thousand dollars a year,
should not think of any bride who
could not be like the church, self-supporting.
Then came Dr. Prestle, and whenever
he came he brought pockets full of bon
bons as hints of the sweetness of regard.
But somehow Miss Mathisen had man
aged to learn a great deal of Cornalbin
in a very short time, and among the bits
of information digested was, that the
town was so healthy, that Dr. Prestle had
been unable, by ten years of close atten
tion to business, to pay off a three
thousand dollar mortgage on his shop.
The aquire was slow but terribly in
earnest. He felt that in appearance he
did not compare favorably with his two
official rivaU, to say nothing of those
who participated in the general demon
stration. He also felt, whenever he re
garded himself in the mirror that his
broad shoulders, bluff face and stubby
hair were not what should appear be
side the dainty combination of grace,
taste, sweetness and delicacy that Miss
Mathisen always seemed to be. But
the Squire was a man of resources; if he
could not hope to capture "Sweet Vio
let ' by storm he might gain her by reg
ular approach. Ho would adopt at first
a fatherly manner; he would warn tho
girl or woman against exoi table young
men who were likely to make love and
marriage proposals on no sounder basis
than their feelings. If in this way be
could gain her confidence he might be
come more successful at a later period.
So he made a special call for the pur
pose, selecting a moonlight evening, be
cause he knew that on such occasions
Miss Mathisen received her visitors on
the piazza. He was fortunate enough to
find the young lady alone, so, being a
man of business, he proceeded promptly
to develop his plan. Miss Mathisen
listened very intently ;she was very grate
ful.she was sure; she never realized that
in a town containing so many women a
Quiet little creature like herself was like
ly to attract any special attention, and
she hoped Mr. Bloker would find him
self mistaken. But as to his thought
fulness oh, there could be no mistake
about that; it was such a comfort in a
giddy world, to meet some one who cared
sincerely enough for a friendless woman
to warn her against the blunders by
which she might suffer. It seemed to
her, she said, as if she had new courage
to live now that some one had shown
bimself so friendly. She was more grate
ful than she could say; would Mr.Bloker
understand ber if she merely took his
hand and said, "I thank you."
"Certainly certainly," replied the
Squire with manly tenderness; but some
how when he felt a warm little hand in
his he extended his disengaged arm,
drew close to him the trim little figure
before him, and said a great deal that
led to a marriage within a fortnight.
A happier couple never was known in
Cornalbin until one day a commercial
traveler, of whom the Squire frequently
made purchases, entered the 6tore aud
Mrs. Bloker passed out; he looked at her
bo strangely that the Squire proudly
"Do you know that lady?"
"No," said the man; "but I've known
at least two of her husbands."
The Squire turned white and trembled
as be asked:
"Where are they?"
"Divorced they didn't suit her," was
the answer, "I'll tell you all about
them."
"No you won't," hissed the Squire,
"and if you tell any one else in this town
you'll never sell me another bill of
goods.
Nevertheless the story got out in some
way, and Mrs. Bloker, to live it down,
was obliged to remain affectionate and
true to the Sanire. which was nrobablv

Au Arizona Wonder.
Very few of our citizens are aware of
the existence of a natural bridge in Ari
zona, which in grandeur and beauty of
structure fully equals, perhaps su passes,
the grert natural bridge in Virginia.
Yet such a bridge exists, and may ba
reached by a journey of less than one
hundred miles from Phosnix. The trip
is an easy one, for the wagon road comes
within two miles of the bridge, and the
tourist who turns his steps in that direc
tion will consider himself well repaid for
his trouble.
During a recent trip through Tonto
baBin and its numerous tributary val
leys I found myself within seven miles
of this great natural curiosity, and of
course availed myself of the opportun
ity to visit it. We were at the Gowan
mine, where Dr. Jones is running a ten
stamp quartz mill at the head of the east
fork of the Verde, and saddling our
h or 863 one lazy afternoon, we soon left
seven miles of mountain trail behind us,
and found ourselves on the summit of a
cypress crowned mountain, whose steep
eastern slope descended abrubtly five
hundred feet to a cosey little valley,
hemmed in on the opposite side by an
abrupt precipice of still greater height.
Descendihg with difficulty we find our
selves on a large flat, with an area of
probably sixty acres with cultivated
fields, in which corn was sprouting, and
potatoes and corn were already well
grown.
We stood on the crown of the bridge
and did not know it, for this beautiful
garden patch is fringed on all sides with
shrubbery and graceful trees, and one
has to go one hundred yards south and
i escend into a precipitous canon before
he is aware of the huge tunnel which
Nature bas out through the "solid rock
beneath his feet. This bridge was dis
covered threo years ago by Mr. John
Gowan, who still lives on it, and whose
smiling face we soon discovered, as he
approached us from the canip under a
beautiful grove of oak and walnut trees.
We found in Mr. Gowan a most hos
pitable host and an untiring guide
through the wonders of the bridge be
neath, and being a sincere lover of na
ture and a very close observer, he added
greatly to the "pleasure of our trip, by
pointing out various curiosities and
freaks of nature, which might pass un
noticed by the careless eye. We ascer
trined the next day by the aid of a long
fish line, that the crown of the bridge
at its southern spring was ICS feet, and
the span was 80 feet. Its total width up
and down the creek is about 150 yards.
About eight feet from its southern edge,
exaotly in the center of the aroh, is a
naturul hole, out into the interior, and
by looking down this, a bird's eye view
is obtained of the bed of pine creek, be
low at a perpendicular depth of sixty
eight feet. But a full ideaof the grand
eur of this uroh is not obtained until one
Stands beneath it and looks aloft. The
gigantic limestone walls springs in per
fect curves to the perfect arch above,
and the fluted columns meeting in the
semi-obscurity above reminds the be
holder of the interior of some vast oath
edral. The stream which winds among
the huge bowlders that strew the bottom,
lies here and there in deep dark pools of
unknown depth, and its prccipitious
sides are pieced by cases and grottos
whose numerous windings and alley
ways lead one far into the bowels of the
mountains. Many of these have been
explored, and many more have never
been trodden by the foot of the white
man; though from arrow-heads, pot
tery and scraps of mattinsr, mingled with
bones and charred wood, we can see that
our Indian brother has long been ac
quainted, with these retreats. These
grottos are all hung with beautiful stal
actites, which take all imaginable forms,
and article, whether of wood or other
soft substance, if placed beneath the
streams which constantly trickle from
the roofs of thesd caverns, will in a short
time become petrified. We gathered
several petrified pine cones and branches
of trees, which were as hard as rock, and
as perfect in form and outline as if they
had lately fallen from the trees. Ari -zona

About Fattening Cattle.
Most animals eat in proportion to their
weight, under average conditions of age,
temperature and fatness.
Give fattening cattle as much as they
will eat, and oft-times a day.
Never give rapid change of food but
change often.
A good guide for a safe quantity of
grain per day to maturing cattle is one
pound to each hundred of their weight;
thus an animal weighing 1000 pounds
may receive ten pounds of gram.
Stall-feeding in the fall will make the
winter's progress more certain by 30 per
cent.
Give as much water and salt at all
times as they will take.
in using roots it is one guide to give
just so much, in association with other
thing, so that the animal may not take
any water.
In buildings, have warmth, with com
plete ventilation, without currents, but
never under 40 degrees nor over seventy
degrees, Fahrenheit.
A cool, damp, airy temperature will
cause animals to consume more food
without corresponding result in bone,
muscle, flesh or fat, much being used to
keep up warmth.
Stall-feeding is better for fat-making
than bcx or yard management, irrespect
ive of health.
The growing animal, intended for
beef, requires a little exercise daily, to
promote muscle and strength of consti
tution; when ripe, only as much as to be
able to walk to market.
Keep the temperature of the body 100
deg., not under 95 deg., nor 105 ileg.,
Fahrenheit.
Dou't forget that one animal's meat
may be another animal's poison.
It takes three days of good food to
make up for one of bad food.
The faster the fattening the more prof
its; less food, earlier returns and better
flesh.
Get rid of every fattening cattle-beast
before it is three years old.
Every day an animal is kept after be
ing prime there is loss, exclusive of ma
nure. 'Tho external evidence of primeness
are full rumps, flanks, twist, shoulder,
pores, vein and eye.
A good cattle-man means a difference
of one-fourth. He should know the
likes and dislikes of every animal.
It pavs to keep one man in constant
attendance on thirty head of fattening
cattle.
Immediately when an animal begins
to fret for food, immediately it begins to
lose flesh; never check the fattening pro
cess. Breath Throngh the Nose Aloue.
