A gang of laborers was at work in the rear of the Hotel Miller. When about five feet down one of them sunk his shovel in the earth and it went out of sight. The laborer would have followed his imple ment had a comrade not caught him. An investigation showed they had tapped a 7-foot tunnel, extend ing northwest and southeast. Going northwest a few hundred feet the under ground passage terminated in a large room, roofed with heavy timbers. This had evidently been the entrance from above, for there was a man-hole cut through the timbers. Boards had been laid across this and covered with earth to secrete the entrance. The tunnel extended to the limits of the city in the southwest. It was care fully boarded on the sides and roofed With railroad ties. A tall man could pass through without stooping. The en tire distance was about a' mile. The tunnel was finished from end to end in a substantial and workmanlike manner and the wooden roof was in a fair state of preservation. Although no one was aware of the ex istence of this queer subterranean ave nue. it is known that the entrance is about the center of the old Harris prison stockade, and it is conjectured that it owes its existence to military expediency.

This is one of the treasure ships sunk in that harbor in 1702. The first attempt to raise the ships were made in 1825. The effort was re newed from time to time, but with no success. The only fact established was that at the bottom of the harbor of Vigo were the wrecks of eleven ships and that on one of them at least there was silver in the form of ingots.

When the young canaries are thirteen days old, they can feed themselves, and when they are a month old, they can be taken away from their parents alto gether. It is not necessary to keep them in separate cages. In fact, they will grow faster and stronger in groups of ten or twelve in, for example, a thirty- inch cage, than a smaller cage, and with less numbers. It is not easy always to tell the sex of the young birds. That is a knowledge that comes with a practice and clos e observation. Th e chief points from which to judge are shape, style, carriage of the head, action and voice. The head of the female Is broader than that of the male, and flatter on top, and the colors around the beak and eyes are deepetr. When you are doubtful about your young birds, put one of the older ones that you know to be a male in a ca'ge by himself, and watch him closely. His manner is bold, his chirp clear and loud, his actions quick and full of de cision. Then put a hen by herself and watch her. ghe will hop back and forth in a quiet way. uttering a soft, plaintive chirp.

Owing to the rigor with which bushwhackers were chased by Merrill’s Horse rtaliation by the enemy was con stantly expected. Day by day reports came in of massing columns of guerril las under the black flag.

The capitalist who employed Gowan to make this survey had a concession sufficiently to begin life in the natural from the Spanish government which had way they may be gradually accustomed ! been running several years without any action being taken under it. Gowan’s report was so favorable that it put new life into tho enterprise. Money was raised and Gowan was told to go to work.

Merrill's Horse was in no position to asK quarter from the guerrillas, and it is thought that the ancient tunnel just found was constructed as a way of escape if the stockade failed to hold back the enemy. Only one man at a time could get through the entrance, and a rear guard in the room below could have held back a regiment until the defenders es caped. The floor was hard and smootn itud the width great enough for three men to walk abreast. Here and there the funnel was widened out, probably for the storage of arms and provisions. After Bill Anderson had shot down the invalid soldiers on the north Mksouri train in September, 1864, and annihi lated Major Johnston's command of 300 men at Centralia he shook his fist to the north and declared there was one more town where the souls of slaugntered men cried for vengeance. He referred to the execution in .Macon in 1862. The guer rilla’s threat lightning, and the town became panic- etrlcken. That Anderson was thoroughly able to carry out his sinister design seemed only too positive when the grim evidences of containing ether serves as an automatic heat regulator. BOWS DISTINGUISH SEX.

A French company had been formed and offered the Spanish govern ment a larger percentage of the treasure than was agreed upon in the English concession. The English concession was examined and it was found that by the non-fulfillment of certain minor condi tions it mlghi be considered a a forfeited. SILVER INGOTS FOUND. The Spanish government did so con- true it, whereupon the French compa ny tried to engage Cowan's services, but he declined their terms. They went ahead without him and succeeded in getting from one of the galleons several silver ingots. The silver, on analysis in Paris, was estimated to be worth about $31,164 a ton. Then the Franco-Gerrrtan. war broke out and the French company found it self unable to go on. It gave its con- | from her.

The moult lasts about two months, most of the time being taken up with the head and neck, a blade or two of saffron assists in the shedding of the feathers, which is a process that, having once begun, should be kept up steadily, even t„ the pulling out of the feathers oneself, )r the bird is unusually slow about It. The bird room, during the moulting season, should he kept rath er warmer than usual especially at night, to avoid taking cold, for, of course, the birds are more delicate than usual during the moulting season, which is a heavy tax upon thrir system.

About one in ten of these will prove to be an extra fine singer, and such sell readily at four or five dollars each. Some times there Will be that rare tiling, a fine singer among the females. One of the sweetest among my own birds was a female, and her song was finer than that of the best males, because, while equally varied and beautiful, it had none of those occasional loud, shrill notes of the male birds. The male birds vary from an ordinary to an extraordinary price, according to their song and plum age. Tlie prices given here are only tentative, of course. When the birds can be sold at private sale, better profits are made, as there is no middle man’s profit to come out of the transaction. THE BIOGRAPHICAL NOVEL.

T’nder such teaching in the home and the pulpit, impressed at the outset that they were born to be no- hodies and that it was a s in to trv to be anything else, it is not surprising that many thus taught should sink to th” level of servile and spiritless drudges never realizing their own gifts and pow- : in the night, Mr. Fox took the bird to i the rear of his yard, where he had a ! couple of guinea pigs in an inclosure com pletely covered with a' finely woven wire j screen.
