DEATH IN A TREE TOP
l>umb ISvMence of a i’ltlfnl Tragedy In
the Menducii i Redwood*
\V. 8. Mills and llonry Elkhart, of
Colusa county, who recently returned
from u camping hunt among the coast
mountains of Mendocino, (ell of a re
markable find among the great red
wood forests of that part of the state, a
story which, for thrilling, weird,
woodland tragedy, excels.
In the northwestern part of the
county, late one afternoon, just before
sunset, while the hunters were making
their way to camp, thev noticed that
(lie rays of the sun in the tree tops of
a dense grove fell on and lighted up a
white object high up among the
branches of a largo madrono tree.
Approaching the foot of the tree for
tho purpose of getting a nearer view
of the white object, they were aston
ished to find, lying on the ground at
the foot of tlie tree, the remains of an
old Kentucky rifle barrel, with part
of a much decayed stock still clinging
to it.
Tho barrel and lock were covered
with rust, indicating it had lain for
years in its position. While they were
examining the ancient gun, and look
ing for further evidence around the
foot of the tree, the sun had so far de
clined as to throw the white object in
the branches in a deep shade, making
it im|K)ssihle to make out what it was.
As it was somewhat difficult to climb
the tree, they concluded to return in
tho morning and make further inves
tigation. Markfng it by placing poles
and fallen limbs against tho trunk,
they returned to camp.
Next morning they returned to the
tree, and in the bright morning light
had no difficulty in making out the
white object to lie the skeleton of a hu
man being. Mills climbed the tree
and found the skeleton to be that of
quite a large mail, resting across two
large limits, and tied ueur the thigh
bones to the same.
There was not a particle of flesh on
the bones, ami but few dangling rags.
Near the skeleton, and lyingacross one
of the limbs, wus the frayed remains
of an old coat.
Throwing tho coat to the ground
Mills descended, it having been decid
ed to leave the bones where they lay in
the tree, rather than throw them to
the ground to be scattered by wild an
imals.
There was nothing to indicate how
the man had met his death, or why
Lis gun should be on tho ground and
liis skeleton in tho tree.
They conjectured that tho hunter
might have lieon chased by a bear and
had climbed the tree, and had acci
dentally drojqicd his gun, which,
striking the ground, had exploded
and wounded the man mortally; that
ere lie died ho had tied himself to the
limbs of the tree to prevent the ani
mals from destroying his body. This,
they thought, would account for the
broken stock of the gun.
A searcli was then made in tho re
mains of tho old coat, which wus
molded and matted together in a
mass.
An old moldy notebook was found.
In the I>ook was jieucil writing, which
w.:s still legible in places, though the
leaves were moldy and much injured
by long exfiosunS to tho weather. On
the (irst page there was part of a name
ending with the letters ngton; all
the balance of the name was obliterat
ed by mold and staiu.
There was writing on the next two
or three pages, hut it could not bo de
ciphered. The next few page* were
comparatively clean and tho writing
perfectly eligible. It was a record of
nis last days in the tree, and read:

were no dates to the jiages, and noth
ing to indicate that the writing might
not have been done all on the sauio

THE DOG WAS A CORKER.
Itut It I*n't Ailvlfutbl© to Praia© Your Pap
Before Third Parti©*.
I had a rather amusing experience
and one which it may benefit some
brother to know. I bought a setter
dog from Messrs. Davey & Richards,
of London, Out., and I trust the wicked
advertising department of this paper
will not prevent my saying it was an
almighty good dog, with a pedigree
that runs right hack to William the
Conqueror. I expect it was about the
best dog ever was and worth at least
SI,OOO of anybody’s money. At least
that is wliat I told an innocent looking
party who was in the baggage car as
we neared the Canada line and who
asked me wliat it worth.
“That is a good deal of money for a
dog," said the innocent looking party,
“lie must be a corker.”
“Corker?” said I. “Say, now you
have hit it That dog is probably the
most perfect specimen of symmetrical
canine excellence that you ever saw.
You want to look at him before 1 take
him away, because you don't often get
a chance like this. Look at those legs.
Get on to that tail. Observe the fault
less set of his ears. Make a note of
his shoulder*. Examine his superb
loin. Congratulate yourself on Slav
ing been liermitted to touch a coat of
such quality and to stroke a muzzle
that will henceforwaid he adopted us
the bench show standard. Say, that
dog’s a daisy and don’t you forget it!"
“No, I won’t,” said the innocent
man. Then he iigured a little bit und
said:
“Cost vou $200.70 to get ’im over the
line.”
“What?”
“Two hundred dollars, 20 per cent,
ud valorem, seventy cents entry fee.
Come now, be lively, ye knowl” •
He was a customs officer, and when
I knew it 1 broke out in a cold sweat.
I think my smile must have lieen some
thing ghastly.
“As I was saying,” I continued, bik
ing hold of the dog s tail, “tins tail
would lie simply perfect if it wasn't
übout fourteen inches too long. If
there’s anything I do hate about adog
it is a snippy, pinched up muzzle, und
a weak back, and no bodv and wabbly
legs. Heats the world now a fellow
gets stuck on a dog sometimes, don’t
it?”
“ Wlmi’d you jiav fer imf" asked the
innocent party, severely.
“Nothing. 1 stole him. He was
given to me. I paid a dollar and a
quarter for him. Say, do you want
to buy him at six bits?”
Then we had more talk, and the end
of it was that liefore I got my puppy
over the water I had to leave $5.70 in
a pluce where it will never do me the
least hit of good in the world. All be
cause I was human enough to praise
my own dog.—Forest and Stream
l «>llowing tho leader.
Several “shovp men” from the In
land empire wore gathered around the
stove at one of the hotels discussing
tho prospects for mutton and wool and
the profits to bo made by driving sheep
to the Willamette to winter, and at
last they got to telling stories about
sheep.
One told about tho captain of a
schooner who had u band of sheep on
the deck of his vessel. As he was turn
ing and twisting the wheel to keep the
schooner on her course, tho old ram
who bended the llock, taking umbrage
at his motions, came up behind him,
and at one fell swoop butted him over
the wheel. The enraged captaiu
seized his woolly assailant and threw
him overboard, wben, presto! away
went tho whole flock, popping over the
rail, one after another, into the sea.
Boats were lowered, and with much
lulior a portion of the’ floch was saved.
Another told a story which illustra
ted the same follow-my-leadertruit in
tho character of sheep. At a port on
the sound one evening just after the
decks hands hud got all the freight
stowed away, there came down 600
sheep to be put on board. All hands
were vexed liecause of the delay and
trouble connected with shipping
them, but finally a pen was made of
hurdles between deck*, and u gungway
rigged, and in the dusk all was ready
to take the sheep on board, and they
were started down the gangway. The
first one, as he struck the deck, saw
an opening in tho other side of the
boat across which a hurdle had been
pluced. Instead of going along the
corral prepared this sheep made a run
ning jump, cleared the hurdle and
landed in the salt chuck alongside.
Every one of the band followed suit,
and in u short time 500 sheep were
struggling in tho water. The captain
having si-cn the lust one go dow n the
plank yelled out: “All right down
there!" An answer came buck: “All
right, sir; send them down.” “Send
’em down." roared the captain, “hav
en’t you the sheep down tnerel ’ “Not
a.sheep, sir,” wus the reply,und investi
gation showed Unit there wus not a
sheep on the bout. The captaiu could
not delay uny longer, and so steamed
away, and only a small number of the
sheep ever got ashore. —I’urtUind Ore-
Fact* About Olivos.
Do you eat olives?
This is a question which is being
asked constantly in high society, untl
which every person must answer once
for all, if not oftener than that.
It is a question which will interest
your digestive faculty very much, a
question of vital importance. The
new generation, with their appetizers,
live m that liappy and tranquil me
dium between the extremes of the
olive and tlie iron tonic; they ac
quired a taste for them when they
were young and have kept up tlie ac
complishment ever since.
Olive oil ia not made from olives
any more than dogma* are made from
*<>gs; there is, however, au extract of
this sort sold in this country, but it is
very costly. I think a jeweler charged
me $2.50 for putting a drop and a
quarter in my watch. Tlie lubricant
we grease our salads with is obtained
from cotton seeds.
Olives range in price from fifteen
cents to $1.50 a quart; but the olive is
the same yesterday, today and to-mor
row—it is the bottle wfiich varies in
value. When a persou buys the fif
teen cent or bulk olive*, lie receives
them in a paper satchel, which allows
the saline water to trickle down his
clothes to the sidewalk, so that even a
Pinkerton detective could trace him
to his lair; yet, although he congratu
lates himself on saving $1.35, he may
be deceived, since the neck of tlie bot
tle containing the $1.50 article is so
slim that it will hardly admit tlie
pickle fork, and when the purcliaser
passes the bottle around to some dear
friend he looks the other way while
his guest liar poo us tue fruit, drives it
up in a corner, and finally abandons
it altogether. Thin a well selected
bottle of olives will last a careful
i housekeeper a lifetime, and be mare
economical than the cheaper brand.

PREPARE FOR REST.
Vlie Money (letter shoal.l Take Time Is
learn Ilow to l,c a W too K|>en«ler.
There is a time in men’* lives when
they need to learn how to work; there
L a time for some men when they
need to learn how to stop working, or
at least how to find enjoymeut in
other thun their usual money making
occupations. In a well ordered life ,
there is through its whole term a due !
allowance of hours for lulior and
hours for recreation and improvement J
The man, instead of becoming absorb
ed in his business, to the neglect of ;
everything else, interests himself in 1
works of humanity, joins social or- j
gauizations. where he makes friends ,
and lays the foundation for the enjoy |
incut of the dujs of leisure that are to I
come. Whether he be rich or poor,
tho time will come when he shall lie
too old to work; when he sliall be
compelled to give up his daily occu
pation and find employment, for his
mind at least, in charitable work, in
reading or in social enjoyment.
One might suppose that any man
might be qualified for this without
s|>ecial training or preparation, but
this is not the case. Too great absorp
tion in business affairs for many years
unfits a man for other occupation; he
becomes the slave of work, und can
find no leisure. When he seeks to re
tire he finds himself pursued by the
demon of unrest, and either passes a
miserable existence or resumes work
at au agu when he is fairly entitled to
rest. The mail of large means who
thus finds himself enslaved is no bet
ter otf than his poor brother who, hav
ing readied an age when he should
retire, is compelled by poverty to con
tinue his luboi-s. It is desirable, there
fore, that the prosperous business
man who finds his chief delight while
in the primeof life in the daily round
of cares and excitements incident to
trade should limit the hours given to
such labor and seek other associations
and other occupations during the
hours of leisure. Then when the time
comes for him to give up business lie
may gradual?y increase the time given
to reading, to self improvement, to
works of charity or public improve
ment, and finds equal enjoyment in
these, lie is no longer a slave, but
has earned and enjoys his freedom.
Tim man who lias no hobby-outside
of his daily occupation, who permits
himself to lie wrapped up in selfish de
signs in money making, may achieve
his single purpose, that of acquiring
wealth, but if he should have no
means of using it, be will find in it no
enjoyment. The business man know*
very well that there is oftentimes a
great difference between tho intrinsic
value of n given article and its com
mercial value. If lie cannot use it or
dispose of it in a profitable way it is of
no value to him. Precisely the same
thing is true of tho wealth he is so
earnestly striving to gain. It has in
trinsic value, but unless he can make
profitable use of it (upart from mere
accumulation) it will bring him no
enjoyment. He needs to learn how to
spend money as well as how to make
it, anil lie cannot learn how to spend
all in one lesson after devoting u life
time to the other study. He cannot
give up tho best years of his manhood
to selfish pursuits and then ut a given
moment retire from business and be
gin to associate with his fellow men
in literary, art, charitable, religious,
and other social organizations. He is
not fitted by training or inclination
for such company or such occupation
of his mind und energies, lie is like
a stranger in u foreign land, unable
to understand the language of the peo
ple or to make his own intelligible to
them. He must pass a solitary exist
ence or return to his own country.
This is the. punishment meted out to
those who selfishly pursue money get
ting without giving any uttention to
their social duties. On tho other hand,
the Successful business man wlio,
while diligently following his occupa
tion, keeps in close sympathy with nis
fellow men, joining them in social or
ganizations, helping to promote the
advancement of mankind, and assist- 1
ing in works of benevolence and char
ity, is a citizen of the world, speaking
all language*. When he shall reach
an old agu lie will not find himself
among an alien people, but with
friends, with abnndunt occupation for
mind and heart outside of business.]
and with contentment, accompanying |
wealth, that is a real value to him be
cause he is prepared to make good use
of it.—Baltimore Sun.

The revival of the screen in our

people ure interesting themselves
about. They bring plentiful evideuce
forward to prove that it was the spe
cial adornment of dwellings of yore,
indeed of the renioteet times, when
doors and windows were a su|>erlluity
in castle establishments. Screens
then were often hung from a hori
zontal bar or rod, w (rich was so con
structed that it moved on a pivot, and
could thus be arranged at any conven
ient angle. Such a screen its this is
shown in an Assyrian bas-relief in the
British museum, where it is placed
round the back of a royal throne. In
the Twelfth and Thirteenth centuries
in our own country we find that a sim
ilar protection was often arranged
round the -seat of honor in the more

The influence of the English ladies
who went into trade as milliners and
dressmakers a few years ago has shown
itself in some unexpected ways. Tho
newspapers, especially those devoted
to fashion and the. society napers,
tieating the advent of the titled ladies
us a matter of news, published so much
about them and their shops that the
regular advertisers indignantly de
manded that similar notices should be
given to them; and, in consequence,
even the best pap-rs now allow col
ums filled with articles in which there
is scarcely a serap of real news, and
winch the sensible reader soon discov
ers are nothing more than the frame tu
which some advertiser's name is dis
severed.
As many of the shopkeepers sell
similar goods, repetitious are inevita
ble; and as it is impossible to make a
series of pull’s really good reading,
the writing has fallen into hand* far
less able than these formerly employ
ed, and the papers have greatly deteri
orated. It is the old story, varying
only in detail, that the influence of
the “reduced lady” is invariably bad
in any and every occupation. As for
the noble milliners and dressmakers,
more than one of them is now going
