PITIFUL FATE OF A LITTLE BOY
WHO WANDERED AWAY.

I Poaad at the Point of Death.
The family of Godfrey Hughes, a
member of the flrui of assayers 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
house 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 youngor brother. Emerson, who
was only 6 years old, demurred, aa be
wished to play more. So the older
brother took his sister to the house.
Upon arrival there the mother asked,
"Where 1 brotherr -Ve lett him
playing at the corral. satd the boy.
The mother theu sent him hack for
the little truant. Shortly the messen
ger came back pantiug from his hur
ried running, aud exclaimed that his
brother was nowhere to be found; that
he waa 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 And no trace of the missing
child. At last she came upon some lit
tle footprints, show lug that the child
had taken a directiou opposite to what
he ahould have taken, and the harassed
mother became more and more alarmed
as the fact that her child bad strayed
and was In all probability lost became
apparent She followed the footprints
for three miles and only ceased because
darkness was approaching aud she was
powerless and had to tall for sid. As
rapidly as her nervous and exhausted
state would permit she retraced her
stepa 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
Indiana were Impressed, and all that
long and trying day the search went
on, and yet no clew to thewanderer.
Tbe grief and agony of the poor afflict
ed mother were beyond consolation.
Tbe 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
tinued, 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

Wednesday morning. It was then found
by a Mexican, who carried the exhaust

remains were taken back to the ranch
and next day were interred in tbe cem

SPONGES IN HAWAIIAN WATERS.
Fiah Commiaalon Believea They Can
Be Found.
Believing that there are sponges of
a merchantable quality in the waters
about the Hawaiian Islands, the last
week of the stay of the 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 tbe islands, more, in fact, than any
other product of the fisheries.
There Is one State of the Union which
now produces all tbe sponges which are
brought to the market locally. Along
tbe coast of Florida the industry has
been pushed to Its limit, until the an
nual sales of sponges amount to SGUO,
000. The product sells for as high as
82.50 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
high state of perfection, and they are
able to make large catches in season.
The sponge fishing Is done In deep
water, tbe best specimens of the large
hath sponges being obtained from fifty
feet below the surface. They are locat
ed with a long pole carrying on Its end
a blade like a letter S, which cuts the
sponge loose with a twist and it is then
brought to tbe surface, if there is Iuck;
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
nuuut uc vuuuocu naiciB firing Ul a
sort which are not of value. It is the
opinion of Mr. Cobb, who Is one of tbe
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 tbe 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 tbe Hawaiian Gazette,
that high-grade sponges have been
found at runaluu and other point on
the Kau coast Small specimens have
been seen which are of the finest grade
of the satin sponge, and the belief Is
expressed that there will lie found a
great supply of the valuable growths.
Should beds be found these will be
further cultivated aud the building of
the Industry will go ou as rapidly as
possible.
A WABBLING CLERK CURED,
Head Bookkeeper Put Up a job oa
lllae that Quieted Hlea.
A man who has charge of a roomful
of bookkeepers lu the Stewart build
ing has broken a youug clerk of the
habit of singing popular airs during
work hours, and he tells the story fur
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 ohlender broke out with:
"Has any one seen my eat?"
Most of the morulng had been en
livened by this song of Powers', with
this oft-repeated line, but at length tbe
head bookkeeper entered Into conspir
acy with the ofilce 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 catr
The office hoy appeared with a se
date tabby In his arms, and. going over
to the warbling youth, said:
"Is this it slrr
"Is this what?" replied the young
man, pausing lu his career of doubtful
melody and swinging around In his
chair.
"Why, is this the cat you have been
asking about all morning?" said 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, aud tbe
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 luto 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 one Is It. sir?"
The warbling bookkeeper now keeps
discreet silence.
THE "WATER CURE."
Pnaiehment that Ha Been Practiced
for Many Tear la Navy.
What has come to be known as tbe
"water cure" treatment la 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 tbe brig, the ship's
lockup, because of the beat 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 st such times, and
finally it becomes necessary for the
pence and discipline of tbe ship, to give
him a "handy-billy washdown."
His hands, which are fastened behind
him, are lashed to a bolt In the deck,
and tbe "handy-billy" a small hand
force pump U 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 iu spite of the water are drowned
in the laugh from his shipmates. Phil

The force known as beat Is of great
Importance. The earth Is hotter below
the surface and probably hat a very
high temperature toward lu center. In

One of the peculiar Industries of Ire

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 mlues
of Abysslnls. 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 tbe gold work It
up Into the form of circles of the aver
age size of a heavy Anger-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 tbe atmosphere,
there could be no rain drops, snow crys
tals or hailstones. From a perfectly
tlustleas atmosphere the moisture
would descend In ceaseless rain with
out drops. The dust particles serve as
nuclei about which tbe vapor gathers.
The snow crystal is the most beautiful
creation of the aerial moisture, and the
hailstone is tbe most extraordinary.
The heart of every hailstone, as Arthur
II. Bell shows In Knowledge, Is a tiny
atom of dust Such an atom, with a
little moisture condensed about It, la
the germ from which may grow a ball
stone, capable of felling a man or
smashing a window. But first It must
le caught up by a current of air and
carried to tbe level of tbe 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
stn like a diamond bolt shot from a
r:ilnlow.
CHANCE FOR A GREAT STORY.
Hot the Editor Didn't Kntliuae Over
Mr. Baxter'a "TooUlo Twittera."
The sharp-featured uiun paused in
the doorway and tbe editor looked up.
I suppose," said the stranger, "that
you are always on the lookout for a
good story?" And without waiting
for a reply be rapidly crossed the
apartment and, seating himself at the
editor's elbow, assumed an easy at
titude. Well?" saldthe editor, a little doub'.
fully. "Did you ever hear of Tootsle Twit
ters?" inquired the stranger, with
much abruptness.
"No," said tbe editor. "Is it a comic
song?"
"No," said the stranger, "It's a beau
tiful young woman, a young woman
of the stage, sir. A young womau
with a most Interesting story attached."
"Are you an advance agent?" In
quired tbe editor.
"Who, me?" cried the stranger.
"No, sir. I'm a friend, sir, a friend
of the lady and a friend of the news
paper profession. Yes, sir. Miss
Twitters Is a perfect lady. She adopt
ed the stage as a profession, because
she had remarkable talent in that di
rection; talent, sir. that hasn't been
fully appreciated as yet but will be,
sir, but will be."
"Whst's the lady's special line?" in
quired the editor. -
"She's in the second line now," re
plied tbe stronger. "But she'll be In
the front row just as soon as a some
what sluggish manager can learn to
distinguish between real merit and en
vious detraction."'
"Well, what of It?" Inquired the
editor.
"I am getting to that," "id the
stranger. "I'm coming to the story, sir.
Miss Twitters Is the heiress to the es
tate of the late Col. 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 tbe eldest son of the Duke
of Bubblesqueak."
"That seems an easy one," Bald the
editor.
"Not for Tootsle Twitters," said the
stranger, proudly. "She's a true Amer
ican girl. You can't buy her allegiance
with any paltry million pounds. She
will marry the duke on one condition
only. He must become an American
citizen, sir." The stranger paused and
smiled at the editor. "There," he said,
"you've got the materials for a great
story. Work it up right, and trim It
with catchy headlines. "Tootsle Scorns

leave It all In your hsnds. But don't
forget It's pound and not dollars.
"You eociu to take a remarkable In

editor.
"Correct," said the stranger. Then he
stooped over the editor. "Fact la," be
said la a subdued voice, "Tootsle la

And merrily patting the editor on the
back, says the Cleveland .lalu Dealer,
he strode from the room.
WHERE CECIL RHODES SLEEPS.
rroepectora Dust for Quid t.OOO Year
Before i'hrlatian Kra,
la the heart of the Matoppo Hills, In
South Africa, among which Cecil
Itbodes, the empire builder, sloops the
last sleep, there are many rulus which
appeal strongly to the Imagination. It
Is difficult to realise, writes a cor
respondent that the habitations, uow
rulus. were occupied by gold seekers so
long ago as 10(H) H. C. When one thinks
of Rhodesia It la Invariably of the great
possibilities which the future holds for
the country. But what of Rhodesia')
past? Three thousands years ago, pros
pectors as gold hungry as the "green
est" prospector of to-day scoured the
Matoppos and the surrounding coutitry
for the precious metal. Those cruiu
bllng ruins once contained the 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
tutue are still tbe largest 011 the earth's
surface. Tbe galleries are caked with
layers of soot from tbe torches of tbe
workers. Oue historian estimates that
the ancient miuers discovered millions
of pounds' worth of gold In Rhodesia.
These early emigrants are believed to
have been Phoenicians, who, as the Old
Testameut shows, were a great colon
Ixlug 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 ancients, but savants
now claim that In the light of recent
discoveries India must renounce that
distinction in favor of Rhodesia.
Haw to Itoll an Umbrella.
"Why la It," asked an Inquisitive cus
tomer In a downtown umbrella store,
"that oue can never roll up an umbrella
as compactly and neatly as It U rolled
when he buys It?"
"You can if you only know how."
said the salesman, "but If everybody
knew bow It would menu a less busl,
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 you
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 tux
stick with one hand while he folds aud
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
alove the points of the cover ribs.
These points naturally lie evenly
around the stick. Keep hold of these,
pressing them tightly against tbe stick,
mid then roll up the cover. Holding the
ribs prevents thMi) from getting twist
ed out of place or bending out of shape.
Then the silk Is bound to fold evenly
and roll smooth atid tight.
"Roll tip your umbrella this way and
until It Is old enough to get rusty-looking
It will look as If It had Just comi
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 Herlln. A
larire house, containing thirty rooms.
sltunted in extensive grounds of twenty
acres, has been rented by a community
of mutual acquaintances, among whom
are both married and single. A montu
ly rent of from fifteen to twenty marks
will be levied for cadi 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 he changed weekly.
A bill of fare and all otner matters or
Interest connected with the establish
ment will be posted up In the hnll. For
food a dally charge of one mark will
be made. This charge Is so moderate
that It may Lave 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 eugaged 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 estl muted that twenty-two acre
of land Is necessary to sustain one man
on fresh meat. The same space of land
If devoted to wheat culture Mould feed
forty-two people; if to oats, eighty
eight; potatoes, Indian corn and rice,
170; and If to the plantain or bread
fruit tree, over 0.000 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 0."
Admire a girl's hat and she will tell
you that she didn't like It after she got
It borne, and tore It all to pieces and
retrlmmed It
"I often think I'm cunning," a man
said to-day, "until results come In."

"IVruna is better by fsr than any
other medicine sold in the Iominion

suffered with backache, headache and
dragging down pains for over nine
months, and nothing relieved me a par

year. If every sunering woman would
take Peruna they would soon know its
value and never be without it. Mrs.
