LOST IN THE DESERT.
PITIFUL FATE QF A LITTLE BOY
WHO WANDERED AWAY.
Slx-Tear-Old -Xad Start In Wrong
Direction and, After Searching Pa:
tie Had Sought Him for Fonr Days,
la Found at the Point of Death.
The family of Godfrey Hughes, a
member o"tne firm of assay era owning
the Customs Assay office, recently went
to spend the summer months visiting
friends who own a large ranch about
seventeen miles above Albuquerque.
The family consists of the mother, two
sons and a daughter. One Saturday
the children asked permission to go to
a corral some 300 yards away from the
boose and on the other side of a knoll
that obstructed the corral from view
to play. Permission was granted, and
the youngsters bounded away for their
afternoon frolic. Soon the little sister
wearied and the older brother proposed
that they take her to the house. To
this the younger brother. Emerson, who
was only 6 years old, demurred, as he
wished to play more. So the older
brother took his sister to the house.
Upon arrival there the mother asked,
"Where is brother?" "We left him
playing: af the corral." said the boy.
The mother then sent him back for
the little truant. Shortly the messen
ger came back panting from his hur
ried running, and exclaimed that his
brother was nowhere to be found; that
he was not at the corrol. The fright
ened mother hurried over to the corral
and there found the report of her boy
to be true. She searched and searched,
but could find no trace of the missing
child. At last she came upon some lit
tle footprints, showing that the child
had taken a direction opposite to what
he should have taken, and the harassed
mother became more and more alarmed
as the fact that her child had strayed
and was in all probability lost became
apparent She followed the footprints
for three miles and only ceased because
darkness was approaching and she was
powerless and had lo call for aid. As
rapidly as her nervous and exhausted
state would permit she retraced her
steps to the house and alarmed the
household. Immediately a search party
was organized, and, despite the oncom
ing of night started out In quest of the
helpless child.
Through that disheartening night the
weary search continued. And the next
day the trained services of seventy-five
Indians were Impressed, and all that
long and trying day the search went
on, and yet no clew to the wanderer.
The grief and agony of the poor afflict
ed mother were beyond consolation.
The continued discouraging reports
that were from time to time brought
her only added to accentuate her suf
ferings. The tracks could be followed
for a distance of twelve miles and then
seemed to double upon themselves and
finally became lost Without rest the
searchers continued In what seemed
their hopeless quest. The thought of
the poor little tot being out upon the
dreary plains alone, without shelter or
food, wandering on with the helpless
ness of the lost, crying possibly with
fright, tormented by the pangs of hun
ger and thirst was simply maddening
to the poor mother and friends seem
ing so helpless to terminate the trying
situation.
All of Sunday night the search con
tlnued, and early Monday morning the
father, who had been ignorant 'of the
tragedy, was wired. He arrived that
day and added his untiring efforts to
those of the large party already out
To .think of the dreadful pathos of it
11. The poor child was not found until
Wednesday morning. It was then found
by a Mexican, who carried the exhaust
ed little form to his cabin, where the
child lingered for three hours and then
passed away. The ordeal had been
beyond the little one's endurance. The
remains were taken back to the ranch
and next day were Interred in the cem
etery of the neighboring village. El

SPONGES IN HAWAIIAN WATERS.
Fiah Commission Believes They Can
Be Found.
Believing that there are sponges of
merchantable quality in the waters
about the Hawaiian Islands, the last
week of the stay of tha party repre
senting the United States Fish Com
mission will be devoted In part to an
investigation of reports concerning
their presence. Should there be found
sponges which will be fit for market
these will add materially to the wealth
of the islands, more, In fact, than any
other product of the fisheries.
There is one State of the Union which
now produces all the sponges which are
brought to the market locally. Along
he coast of Florida the industry has
been pushed to its limit, until the an
nual sales of sponges amount to ?000,-
000. The product sells for as high as
$2.50 a pound, which makes the busi
ness most profitable. There are sixty
schooners in the trade, and the business
Is the staple of many of the towns
along the coast of the State. The fish
ermen have brought the business to a
igh state of perfection, and they are
able to make large catches In season.
The sponge fishing is done in deep
water, the best specimens of the large
bath sponges being obtained from fifty
feet below the surface. They are locat
ed with a long pole carrying on Its end
blade like a letter S. which cuts the
sponge loose with a twist, and it is then
brought to the surface, if there is luck;
and if not and It gets away, it-is lost
forever. The men become very expert
In the business, and they will carry it
on during high winds, losing very few
of the sponges.
There are many varieties of the
sponge, those which are generally found
about the enclosed waters being of a
6ort which are not of value. It is the
opinion of Mr. Cobb, who is one of the
experts of the fish commission on this
matter, that good sponges will be found
on the reefs outside, and that in time,
and a short time, for the organization
of this industry will not be an elabor
ate transaction, there will be one of the
most profitable of sea-product indus
tries inaugurated.
Reports have come to the members of
the party, says the Hawaiian Gazette,
that high-grade -sponges have been
found at Punaluu and other points) on
the Kan coast Small specimens have
been seen which are of the finest grade
of the satin sponge, and the belief la
expressed that there will be found a
great supply of the valuable growths.
Should beds be found these will be
further cultivated and the building of
the industry will go on as rapidly as
possible. -
A WABBLING CLERK CURED.
Head Bookkeeper Pats Up a Job on
Hint that Quieted Him.
A man who has charge of a roomful
of bookkeepers in the Stewart build
ing baa broken a young clerk of the
habit of singing popular airs during
work hours, and he tells the story for
the benefit of those who may be sim
ilarly afflicted. -
The head bookkeeper has pretty good
nerves, and he stood the distressing ef
forts of the musical young man pretty
well until the offiender broke out with;
"Has any one seen my cat?"
Most of the morning had been en
livened by this song of Powers', with
this oft-repeated line, but at length the
bead bookkeeper entered Into conspir
acy with the office boy, and the Jani
tor's apartments were drawn upon for
a supply of real live cats.
At the next outbreak of
"Has any one seen my cat 7',
The office boy appeared with a se
date tabby in his arms, and. going oyer
to the warbling youth, said:
"Is this it, sir?"
"Is this what?" replied the young
man, pausing in his career of doubtful
melody and swinging around in his
chair.
"Why, is this the cat yon have been
asking about all morning?" aald the
boy, imperturbably.
The. young man swung back to his
work as the others in the office burst
into a laugh and the boy retreated.
Presently the song from "The Mes
senger Boy" broke out again, and the
office boy was promptly on the scene
with a mewing kitten.
"Is this it. sir?" said the boy with
mock respectfulness, and he placed the
kitten on the desk.
"Take it away; take it away," ex
claimed the young man, and he kept
silence for nearly an hour, but again
fell into his musical query:
"Has any one seen my cat?"
This time the office boy appeared
with a whole family of cats in his
arms, says the New York Times, and
before the young man could chase him
away the boy asked:
"Which ope is it. sir?"
The warbling bookkeeper now keeps
discreet silence.
THE "WATER CURE."
Punishment that Haa Been Practiced
for JJany Tears in Navy.
What has come to be known as the
water cure" treatment is an adoption
by the army of a disciplinary measure
as old to the navy as wooden hulls and
hemp rigging. The deep-sea sailor
calls It a "handy-billy wash-down," and
Its application is only resorted to as the
most effective means to stop the brawl
ing profanity of a drunken sailor on
shipboard. "-..
Where ships are visiting ports in tor
rid climates it Is considered a hardship
to confine a man in the brig, the ship's
lockup, because of the heat, and a sailor
who goes on board In an unruly, intoxi
cated condition Is usually put In irons
and allowed to sleep off on the forward
deck. Not Infrequently, when "Jack"
has been drinking all kinds in sight on
a shore leave the "feel" of the Irons,
combined with the liquor, makes him
"swearing mad." No one, from the
commanding officer to the ship's boy.
escapes his oaths at such times, and
finally it becomes necessary for the
peace and discipline of the ship, to give
him a "handy-billy washdown."
His hands, which are fastened behind
him, are lashed to a bolt In the deck,
and the "handy-billy" a small hand
force pump is prepared for action. A
rubber house, without a nozzle, through
custom held by "Jack's" chum, is point
ed close to his face and "Jack" is asked
to stop swearing or take the "wash
down." The answer generally comes In
the form of renewed effort to swear
louder and harder. The petty officer
In charge orders, "Pump away!" and
for four or five seconds a steady stream
is played on the sailor's mouth. His
spluttering attempts to utter more
oaths In spite of the water are drowned
in the laugh from his shipmates. Phil

The charm of the yellow metal sel
dom asserts Itself more clearly than in
the account given by Hugues Le Roux,
a French explorer, of the method of
collecting gold from the placer mines
of Abyssinia. The precious metal Is
found by the natives in small nuggets
and dust in the beds of streams. They
carry It to market In large quills, which
are as transparent as tubes of glass.
The brokers who buy the gold work it
up Into the form of circles, of the aver
age size of a heavy finger-ring. But
these circles are not quite closed, be
cause the purchaser always Insists on
twisting them, like strings of molasses
candy, in order to detect possible adul
terations. Experienced fingers can tell
if the yielding metal possesses the ex
act malleability of gold.
If it were not for the countless tril
lions of dust particles that float, sep
arately Invisible, In the atmosphere,
there could be no rain-drops, snow crys
tals or hailstones. From a perfectly
dustless atmosphere the moisture
would descend in ceaseless rain, with
out drops. The dust particles serve as
nuclei about which the vapor gathers.
The snow crystal Is the most beautiful
creation of the aerial moisture, and the
hailstone is the most extraordinary.
The heart of every hailstone, as Arthur
H. Bell shows In Knowledge, is a tiny
atom of dust Such an atom, with a
little moisture condensed about it is
the germ from which may grow a hall
stone, capable of felling a man or
smashing a window. But first It must
be caught np by a current of air and
carried to the level of the lofty cirrus
clouds, five or six, or even ten miles
high. Then, continually growing by
fresh accessions of moisture. It begins
its long plunge to the earth, spinning
through the clouds, and flashing in the
sun like a diamond bolt shot from a

CHANCE FOR A GREAT STORY.
But the Editor Didn't Enthnse Over

The sharp-featured man paused In
the doorway and the editor looked up.
"I suppose," Bald the stranger, "that
you are always on the lookout for a
good story?" . And without waiting
for a reply he rapidly crossed the
apartment and, seating himself at the
editor's elbow, assumed an easy at

"Did you ever hear of Tootsie Twit

"Well, what of it?" Inquired the
editor.
"I am getting to that," said -the
stranger. "I'm coming to the story, sir.
Miss Twitters is the heiress to the es
tate of the late OoL Ponsonby-Snickle-worth
of Berks. England. You've heard
of the colonel?"
"No," said the editor.
"He left an estate valued at a million
pounds. Just make a note of It please.
Pounds, not dollars."
"Go on," said the editor. -
"All this immense estate goes to Miss
Twitters on one condition," said the
stranger. "Mark the condition. She
must marry the eldest son of the Duke
of Bubblesqueak."
"That seems an easy one," said the
editor.
"Not for Tootsie Twitters," said the
stranger, proudly. "She's a true Amer

WHERE CECIL RHODES SLEEPS.
Prospectors Dag- for Gold 1,000 Years
Before Christian Era.
In the heart of the Matoppo Hills, In
South Africa, . among which Cecil
Rhodes, the empire builder, sleeps the
last sleep, there are many ruins which
appeal strongly to the Imagination. It
is difficult to realize, writes a cor
respondent, that the habitations, now
ruins, were occupied by gold seekers so
long ago as 1000 B. C. When one thinks
of Rhodesia it Is Invariably of the great
possibilities which the future holds for
the country. But what of Rhodesia's
past? Three thousands years ago, pros
pectors as gold-hungry as the "green
est" prospector of to-day scoured the
Matoppos and the surrounding country
for the precious metal. These cram
bllng ruins once containedlhe furnaces
for the retorting and smelting of the
gold. In many quarters huge excava
tions are found where the ancients dug
far down into the bowels of the earth
In search of the metal. Several of these
mines are still the largest on the earth's
surface. The galleries are caked with
layers of soot from the torches of the
workers. One historian estimates that
the ancient miners discovered millions
of pounds' worth of gold in Rhodesia.
These early emigrants are believed to
have been Phoenicians, who, as the Old
Testament shows, were a great colon
izing people. Several writers have late
ly arisen to proclaim Rhodesia as the
veritable land of Ophlr, "a land teem
Ing with gold and precious stones."
Hitherto India has been regarded as
the Ophlr of the anelents, but savants
now claim that in the light of recent
discoveries India must renounce that
distinction hi "favor of Rhodesia.
How to Roll an Umbrella.
"Why is it" asked an inquisitive cus
tomer in a downtown umbrella store.
"that one can never roll up an umbrella
as compactly and neatly as it Is rolled
when he buys it?"
"You can if you only know how,'
said the salesman, "bnt if everybody
knew how it would mean a less busi
ness for us. The umbrella would last
longer and .there would be a lot less
work for the repairers.
"Perhaps I ought not to tell yon
how," the clerk continued, but It's so
simple you should know anyhow.. If
you have noticed, nearly everybody
who rolls up an umbrella takes hold of
it by the handle and keeps twisting the
stick with one band while be folds and
rolls with the other hand.
"Now, that's just where the mistake
comes In. Instead of twisting with
handle, he should take hold of it just
above the points of the cover ribs.
These points naturally He evenly
around the stick. Keep hold of these.
pressing them tightly against the stick,
and then roll up the cover. Holding the
ribs prevents them from getting twist
ed out of place or bending out of shape.
Then the silk is bound to fold evenly
and roll smooth and tight.
"Roll up your umbrella this way and
until it is old enough to get rusty-look
ing it will look as if it had just come
from the shop." Kansas City Star.
Will It Succeed?
Another experiment in the line of
community housekeeping Is to be tried,
this time in a suburb of Berlin. A
large house, containing thirty rooms,
situated In extensive grounds of twenty
acres, has been rented by a community
of mutual acquaintances, among whom
are both married and single. A month
ly rent of from fifteen to twenty marks
will be levied for each room occupied.
The housekeeping will be In common.
and the kitchen also. One lady and one
gentleman will be elected to take
charge of all the concerns of the house.
These officers will be changed weekly.
A bill of fare and all other matters of
interest connected with the establish
ment will be posted up in the hall. For
food a dally charge of one mark will
be made. This charge is so moderate
that it may have to be Increased later.
There will be a good library and a com
mon drawing room, writing room,
working room and dining room. Ar
rangements are also being made for a
common playground and garden. The
community will consist at first of forty
persons, mostly engaged In literary and
artistic pursuits.
Dangers of Celluloid.
Manufacturers of articles made of
celluloid should be compelled to stamp
plainly upon them the words "highly
inflammable." The danger is no imag
inary one. A gentleman with a lighted
cigar in his mouth was playing upon an
"American organ" furnished with cel
luloid keys. When some red hot ash
dropped upon the keys they Instantly
burst Into fumes and flame, which
could only be extinguished with the
greatest difficulty. A heated curling
iron will readily start the evolution of
dense and highly Inflammable fumes if
brought in contact with a celluloid
comb or hairpin. The proximity of a
naked light adds to the danger enor
mously, for the fumes of celluloid will
ignite fiercely at some considerable dis
tance from the flame.
A Vegetarian Argument.
It is estimated that twenty-two acres
of land is necessary to sustain one man
on fresh meat The same space of land
If devoted to wheat culture would feed
forty-two people; if to oats, eighty-
eight; potatoes. Indian corn and rice.
176; and if to 'the plantain or bread
fruit tree, over G.000 people.
An Odd Oversight.
A Cincinnati paper, after printing an
extensive account of Sol Smith Rus
sell's death, and the arrangements for
the funeral, closed the column with the
line: "Other amusements on page 9."
Admire a girl's hat and she will tell
you that she didn't like it after she got
it home, and tore it all to pieces and
retrimmed it

said to-day, "until results come in."

"Pernna is better by far than any
other medicine sold in the Dominion
for the troubles peculiar to the sex. I
suffered with backache,' headache and
dragging down pains for over nine
months, and nothing relieved me a par
ticle until I took Peruna. A few bot
tles relieved me of my miserable half
dead, half-alive condition. I am now
in good health and have neither ache or
pain, nor have I had any for the past
year. If every suffering woman would
take Peruna they would soon know its
value and never be without it." Mrs.

HOW ABOUT IT?
When you strike a stump with the ordinary
push cut mower, aomeihinjr happens ahout aa
shown In the above Uluatritllon, and thev are
all push cuts, and all will do this except the
Champion Draw Cut Mower.
This aerves to show that pressure against the
bar will raise the wheels fix m ground, decrease
traction and cutting power. With the Cham
pion Draw Cut the contrary is the result pres
sure against the bar in heavy cutting gives
downward pull, holding the wheels tighter to
the ground. Increased traction, more power,
making the most powerful cutter on the mar
ket. This fact stands undisputed, and if vou
want the best mower made, buy the Champion
Draw Cut.
