ICit h Strike in l aiiaiui.
Seattle, Jan. 17. A Bpeoial to the
Times from Dawson pays:
A tremendously rich strike, the mag
nitude of which has never been equaled
since Pob Henderson told his wonder
ful story of the Klondyke, lias been
made 18 miles noith of a point on . Tan-
ana Kiver, :00 miles from its source
The district is in American territory.
Circ! i has been depopulated and a wil
trtampede of prospectors from all the
punoundina country is in progress. As
yet lew have reached the situation.
Tim holes that proved the wealth of
the count ry were only sunk this winter
and the lust man to reach Dawson from

f,ir the report has not been spread to
any ex'ent in Dawson, but the iittU
that has been told has created an ex
citement that surely means a stampede.
iiitgisi oi v aua s report on tne
ground is that the district resembles
the K'ondike in the physical formation,
but has a heavier growt'j of timber.
Gold in vvitiely different kinds had been
found in eigbt different creeks when
Wanda left for Dawson, December 28
The o. initial sti ike was made on Pe
dro, a crerk running parallel with Tan
ana, about 18 miles from the river
This creek is staked for miles. Dan
McCarthy, a well known Dawsonite,
made the discovery on Gold Stream, a
continuation of Pedro, winch has ptoved
to be the i ichest so far found. It was
25 cents at 13 feet down and bedrock not
yet reached. McCarthy struck pay De
cember 24, while sinking his first hole.
It panned seven cents. Uu Christmas
day he had lfi cents to the pan. Three
days Inter he had found 2o cents to the
pan. The fcniind became richer all the
time as he descended and what he
found before reaching bedrock may
he still more sensational reading when
Vie news is G ally received.
There i a war on in Josehine
aounty between the miners and the
so-called "timber grabbers." A
number of locations made in the
Grave Creek, one of the ik-hest
aiining districts in Souutheru Ore
gon, has been protested by mining
men on the plea that they were
taken up mainly for the purpose of
locators getting the minerals the
lands contained.
At the annual meeting of the
Oregon IJopgrowers' Association,
Thursday, in Portland, a bill was
framed to be presented to the legis

Antiquity of Bell Founding.
The art of bell founding is undoubted"
ly of great antiquity. The Saxons are
known to have used bells in their
churches, although probably but srnal
ones, for the Venerable Bede, writing at
the end of the seventh century, alludes
to them in terms which seem to show
that they were not unfamiliar things,
The towers of the Saxon period have
belfries of considerable dimensions in
most cases, and at Crowland abbey, in
South Lincolnshire, there was a famous
peal of seven bells many years before
the Norman conquest.
The monks at that time and for long
after were the chief practitioners of the
art of bell founding which indeed is one
of the many things those well abused
men have handed down to us. Their bells
were rarely without inscriptions, often
in very bad Latin, containing perhaps
some obscure joke, tho point of which is
quite lost. More often they were of a re
ligious nature, sometimes, we fear, not
unmixed with a dash of superstition, as
when tho bell declares that its sound
drives away the demons of the air who
caused pestilence and famine, lightning
and thunderstorms.
As a rule, unfortunately they put no
dates on their bells, a defect which has
been in 6ome measure overcome by the
researches of many enthusiastic campa
nologists, but which is likely to keep the
early history of bells shrouded in dark
ness for a long time to come. Gentle
man's Magazine
A 'oted London Mission.
The other Sunday night at the Char
rington mission, which is held in a long,
narrow room, double galleried all around,
the coughing (from the fog) was more
like Fourth of July with conglomerate
firecrackers, church bells and cannonad
ing than ono would conceive as possible
issuing from a merely human assembly.
Just a word about this Charrington
mission, which is a feature of tho east
end. Frederick Charrington belongs to
a wealthy fainily of brewers. About 17
years ago he began to do a sort of street
missionary work in East London, near
his father's brewery. His father threat
ened to disinherit him, but finally left
him a share, though not p. full share, in
the buginess. Once, on being taunted
on the street with wearing tho blue rib
bon "What does it cost you to wear
that ribbon?" he was ablo to reply,
"A hundred thousand dollars.
He sold out his interest in the brewery
to his brothers and built in Milo End
road, the prolongation of Whitechapel,
the Great Assembly hall, which had been
projected but never begun by Keith
Falconer. Every Sunday night 3,000 or
more people gather at the evangelistic
service of tho mission, and its fellowship
society, with the constant religious, edu
cational and entertainment work center
ing at the Great Assembly hall, makes it
a power for good in a district which con
tains a number of powers for evil. Lon
don Cor. Hartford Courant.
Remarkable Tenacity of Life.
The pious Dr. Shirely Palmer tells a
fish 6tory that is calculated to make the
members of the St. Louis Hunting and
Fishing association (to use a strictly
original expression) "turn green with
envy." By some hook or crook hook
no doubt Mr. rainier came into pos
session of a fiuo brace of tench. They
were a lively pair of finny beauties when
the doctor took them homo with tho idea
of slaughtering them for his Sunday din
ner. Placing them in a pail of water, he
put them into the larder and thought no
more about tho matter. That night at
midnight he was aroused, so he says, by
a groan proceeding from the aforesaid
larder. Inspection of the room explained
tho mystery.
One of tho fish had sprung from the
basin or pail and lay gasping upon tho
floor, every now and then uttering
sounds similar to those which had dis
turbed Mr. Palmer. Next day both fish
were prepared for dinner, but such was
their tenacity of life that both, after hav
ing undergone tho process of scaling and
evisceration, sprang from tho pan and
wriggled about on the floor as though
they had but recently been removed from
their native element.
This is told as a scientific fact, not as
a "fish story" or in the way of a joke.

According to recent statistics there
are 85,000,000 horses, ot which the
Unitrd States is credited with 18,2V
140, which would average five to the
square mile enough to mount one
quarter of the population. Being an
industrial nation and breeding spe
cifically for market type-, the bulk of
the horses is fast approximating draft
ers and ligtyt harness horses, the types
in most urgent demand. The nations of
continental Europe raise houses priu
cipally for military use, and only the
surplus find sale in open markets.

my little boy's life and I feel that I can
not praise it enough, I bought a bottle
of it from A. E. Steere of Goodwin, S.

baby oould hardly breathe. I gave tne
med'oiue as directed every ten minutes
until he "threw up" and then I thought
sure he was going to choke to death.
