What is said to be a grand waterfall coming from the 6now capped peaks above the clouds over a bluff, falling a perpendicular dis tance of oyer 1,000 feet and disappearing in the bosom of a beautiful plain, has been discovered near Lake Crescent by two ranchmen. Their description of the scene would exceed anything of similar character in the Yellowstone park. From the snow on the crest of the Olym pics, where white men have never visited, comes a little stream, which rapidly grows in volume until it reaches the edge of- a perpendicular cliff overlooking a beautiful plateau of 300 acres 1,000 feet below. For centuries thewater has poured over the precipice until it has cut a smooth passage, something like a largo pipe split in half, In tho Bide, .of the mountain. Here and there it strikes an obstruction and out of the mountain's side spurts other falls. Standing alongside of the cliff a 6hort dis tance away the 6cene is beautiful 'and looks as though there were half a dozen rivers bursting out. of the mountain. . The huge volume of water disappears in a wild looking cavern, and becomes an un derground river. It flows beneath ' the plateau for a distance of two miles, and then again bursts out of its imprisonment in the shape of an oval bridal veil and dashes over the rocks and cataracts down to Lake Sutherland and out to sea. .. The country is very (rough, wild and hard to penetrate. There is an abundance of wild game isolated around the falls. The discoverers of the falls killed nine elks in half an hour, and said there were a hundred more in sight. Seattle Post-Intelligencer. The Happy. Careless Days of Age. , Youth takes itself with the same serious ness which, belonged to age in a- time of less knowledge, and 'one of the greatest proofs of a more complete mastery by the world of the art of living is the wish and ability to be careless. The one who Is learning tq dance counts the step, and that is what age has ceased to do, while youth is 6till whispering '-'one; two, three" most sedulously to itself. It is not that things do not seem so important, nor is it, as it is sometimes claimed, that age or the age is more skeptical. But generally age nowa days has mastered its, elementary knowl edge earlier until it has it -as an actor has an often played role and need not be con- : ning the part all the time. It does not lose its dignity because sometimes, like royalty, It travels incognito, and if it chooses under other titles to seek a freer life it' knows how to do it, and dares do it, and is wel come o, though it creates a very different state ot things from any that ever existed before. Seeing the bent brows of sopho mores and the solemn eyes of "buds," no one dares to talk longer of the happy, careless days of youth. There is a change. Age "s'arause," and really, in view of . present conditions, there is nothing to be ddne except to advise youth to hurry up as fast as it can and, grow old.

W. P. Price, ex -congressman from Georgia, gives the following authentio account of the coining of that saying, which had its birth in the sleepy little1 town of Dahlonega,.Ga. It was, in fact, one of the few things born there that ever became famous,, for the old fashioned village has nestled among the, mountains for nearly a century. utterlynn aware of the progress the outside world was making. But in 1850, when the gold tever was at its height, the craze, penetrat ed even to this secluded valley, where gold had been found upon the mountain sides long before the Indians had been driven from the possessions of their fathers. The yield had not been great, but; just suffi cient to whet the appetities of these moun taineers and make them ready to believe the most fabulous stories of the golden treasures on the Pacific coast. ! r I i Day by day the little group that satin front of the corner store diligently whit tling discussed the wonderful finds in CaU- loraia, ana tne storekeeper would even stop the absorbing game of cheokers he was playing with the sheriff in .order to join in the conversation wheni it became most exciting. Such entrancing yarns as were spun there I Such stories as were told about poor devils like themselves who had struck it lucky and were now rich beyond their wildest expectations ! The' more they talked the more enthusiastic they became, until soon an expedition was formed, com posed of the more adventurous spirits, to start for the gold regions. The news spread like wildfire and soon every; ablebodied man in the country was willing and anx ious to join them. , When Dr. Matthew F. Stephenson, as sayer in the United States branch mint, then located in Dahlonega, heard of this, , he shook his head and denounced it as a foolish craze, for the doctor had great faith in the resources of his native town. Then, too, he was an authority in the village, and . his opinion was always , listened to with respect. When prospectors and In vestors, hearing of tho gold found in that section, came there to investigate it, Dr. Stephenson was always the one deputed to talk to them and dilate upon the hidden wealth of the neighborhood.. Poor in pock et himself, the old doctor nevertheless had largo ideas, and on these occasions he never condescended to mentidn any smaller sum than millions. When he saw that the men were in ear nest about starting for the goldflelds of the west, the doctor became greatly exercised and announced that he wished to make a speech to them before they made any fur ther arrangements-. The next afternoon, being Saturday, was selected ; as a fitting time for his oration, and all the men, 'wom en and children of the village assembled in front of the courthouse at the appointed hour, for he had fame in the county as an orator and. nil were anxious to hear what he would say, Tho speech has not been handed down by his admirers, but Colonel Price, who was then a printer's boy in the village, remembers how, standing on the courthouse steps, his long tailed coat flap-1 ping in the breeze, the old doctor pointed one finger to Crown mountain, just south of the mint; building, and cried dramatic ally, "Boys, there's millions in it." A shout of derision was his only answer, for his hearers felt they had exhausted all the possibilities of these mines. "There's mil lions in it!" tho doctor repeated, still pointing to the mountains, but even this prophecy failed to alter the determination of his hearers, and a week later they set out on their long journey overland to Cali fornia. ' . : - ' .j; . 'i !.;!' . - Rapid transit was then thing un nown, and slowy did the bulky wagon train make its way through forests and prairies. Often, when the way was long and the fficulties and vexations many, some one would point to the west and cry, "There's millions in it!" and crack would go tho whips. Thus did Dr. Stephenson's remark become the word of' cheer. When at last they-reached California, that ex pression was still the byword of the camp and often used to encourage a disheartened brother. If a claim refused to yield and the poor miner was about , to give up in despair, a comrade need only point to it and say, "There's millions in it," to make its discouraged owner smile- and seize his pick with renewed energy. ! One day an individual by the name of James Sellers came to tho camp of some of these Georgia miners and cast his lot with them, and. likewise adopted their byword. In fact, it pleased him so much that it was never off his tongue longhand he seemed to derive as much satisfaction as Dr. Stephenson had in rolling it out in sonorous accents. i The end of the story has already been told how Mark Twain met . Mr. Sellers and was so amused by his favorite expression-that he determined to immortalize both it and James Sellers. When the first edition of The Gilded Age came out, great was the indigndtion of Mr. Sellers to find himself famousj by reason of his pet say ing, and he swore vengeance against the genial humorist. In fact, he is reported to have said that nothing but the abundant locks of a man by the name of Clemens, with the scalp attached, would satisfy him. Fortunately his ire had time to cool before he again encountered the humorist, though ,he was still deSrous of having a ppgilistlo exhibition on first sight. Peace was final ly restored between them, but not until Mark Twain had promised that in the next edition of his book he would .christen Mr. Sellers "Mulberry," thus forever ob literating the bona fide James Sellers from the story. Aslthe name of "Mulberry" f was purely fictitious and therefore not ap plicable to any of the Kellers lamny tne irate James was pacified by this arrange ment. Mark Twain was as good as his word, and at tho present time to Mulberry Sellers is ascribed the now world famous expression, "There's millions in it.' New York Tribune. ... Chicago Society. ! : i : : . A correspondent of The Home Journal my s that the two most striking facts about society in Chicago are that it is very small and comparatively poor. It is this poverty and the curious fact that society, while small, is not much assailed by outsiders demanding : admittance which allow a real ly remarkable democracy of spirit. "There is no city in the world where a young man can be so poor and yet so well received. He must be properly ; introduced, but, this done, he is judged very fairly on his merits, and his good humor and entertaining pow er will pay his social debts everywhere." For Which No Satisfactory Bern edy Has Been Found Yet. The tobacco worm is an enemy against Which larga dealers would like to' find means of protection. It is a curious fact that this pest is seldom seen in latitudes north of 30 degrees above the equator, and it is never found in .domestic cigar leaf grown in this country, or in any of our to baccos, unless a certain amount of mois ture enters into the manufacturing process. So important Is this matter in countries south of 33 degrees of longitude, and more especially to the cigar manufacturers of Hindustan, that a process has been patent ed for protecting cigars from the pest. , Any one who has had any experience with the "triches" or "lunkahs" Mr. Kipling talks about will know that it Is no infre quent thing to come across one so filled with holes that it is impossible to smoke IJt. Every once in awhile cigars from Cuba are found to have the pest. Cigars that are smoked eight or ten weeks after leaving the rolling table, as are most of the American made cigars, are not at . tacked, -j I - ; In smoking tobaccos in this country the worm is found. Every now and again a dealer finds the worms in his store, and a nice task he has to get rid of them. The manufacturer closes out his stock, scrubs the factory down and leaves it open to the frosts of a winter. Then in the spring it will be clear again. The dealer has to clear out all : his stock, inspect it closely, . and make bargains of the tainted or send It back to the manufacturer. A few years ago a cigar dealer not far from the city hall received from the manufacturers of a certain brand of cigarettes a warship made entirely of cigarettes. Soon after worms appeared in his eigars and were ' traced" to the ship. : The ship had ; been made for some time, and the tobacco had, been made especially rich in glycerin to: keep it from breaking as it dried, It was literally alive, and from the window where the ship was the worms had spread all over the store. The remedy for these worms in Hindu stan is to coat the box with a solution which practically renders it airtight, and then subject the box to a very high dry heat. This process is said to b6 successful, but leaves the cigars drier than the aver age American likes them. The remedy tried in this country has been cold storage, which has also put an end to the worms, but, then, cold has an effect on fine leaf as bad as heat and Utterly takes the aroma and snap out of fine cigars. Tho only sure preventive appears to be to, get the goods fresh and not keep them jtoo long. New York Sun. ' ;". ' .

I ! Tio Law Against It. Some years ago, soon after the comple tion of the Galveston, Harrisbui g and San Antonio railroad from San Antonio to El Paso, the writer was employed as a rod man in the engineering department of the company. My first work took me to Lang try, on the banks of the Bio Grande, a town that has been made famous by Boy Bean, the county judge, and the Fitzsim-mons-Maherj fight. The engineer in - charge was running a water line from the station to tho river, a mile distant. He wished to finish the survey before 'sunset and asked me to hurry up with my wort with all possible speed, j: Two Chinamen were being used as chain men, having been taken ; from section work .for the purpose.. They were very slow, and finally I lest my temper, speak ing harshly to one. He understood Eng lish fairly well and showed fight. He was standing about 50 feet away when he threw a hatchet at me with all his strength. Having missed me, he picked up a steel rod, the ends of which were as sharp as a brier, and started toward me like a mad bull. I was unarmed and saw no escape except by flight. Just as I had turned to run there was the report of a rifle, . and upon looking around I saw the Chinaman en the ground and the other one running with ail speed. The depot agent, who had been out hunting, had arrived upon-the scene just in time to Rive- my life. ; The Chinaman was left lying on the ground, and we wet to hunt up Judge Bean. The tragedy was explained, and we waited in breathless silence to hear .what ho had to say. The judge eyed each- of us curiously for a moment. Then a look of disgust settled upon his rugged features. I "Killed a d d Chinaman, eh?. How many times did you shoot 'im? Once? Well, that's better. '. Last time a man did a Chinaman up in my jurisdiction ho had ter -shoot 'ini three times. Course they ain't no law ag'in killin one of 'em that I kin fin in' the stater books, so I had ter turn 'im arloose. But I fined. 'ira ten gal lens er.licker fur shootin mo'n once." : j We thanked the judge and turned to go, when he said, "As I said, I can't fin you, but is air one of you got et bottle on his pusson?'

Tho farmer who owns the dog, therefore, when he sees a suspicious character coming up the road says to his dog: -' - : ; -; "Jack, go over to Mrs. H.'s and sit on her piazza till the tramp gets by." ; ! i 'Whereupon the dog runs ovor to Mrs. H. 's, posts himsfjf at the door, and if the tramp coraes up the. walk steps forward and growls at him. As the dog is a big one and rather forbidding, though he has never "been known to bite any one, the tramp in 99 cases 'out of 100 remembers that it is getting late, and that ho haBn't any time to fool away along the road. When he is well out of sight, the dog re turns home, t- ' i r . Tho dog carries his gallantry to the same lady to such an extent that when she is visiting his master's house of an evening he always accompanies her home to the door of her house. New York Tribune.

' How hrlght and hard every man. looks as with face keenly set he gets forward, every nerve and muscle braced ;for the coming struggle! They are evidently trained to the hour, as, indeed, they need to be, for the strain of eight nights' successive rac ing, much of it perhaps at 40 strokes to the minute, demands a thorough and careful preparation. The cockswain alone looks a" little anxious as he grasps the line which connects his boat with the shore. '.' Touch her, bow!" he cries as with the force of the current the boat's nose sheers out into the stream. As soon as she is straightened. comes the sonorous shoirt of len seconds more!" a breathless interval, during which each remaining second is counted aloud from the watch, then a flash and the bang of the starting gun. Nearly knocked off our legs in the tu multuous rush, we recover ourselves in time to tear with the crowd along the bank. . What a scene it isr-the towpath thronged with a dense mob of men, all yelling at the top 'of their voices, some shouting advice to the competing crews, as, "Now you are gaining! Keep it long! Well rowed, ilerton Ori-e-el!" while oth ers seek to encourage their champions and stimulate them to the . utmost effort by discordant brayings of horns and springing of rattles, which exhortations seem to us superfluous, since every man is so obvious ly doing his best. The river is all in a ewirl with racing boats. Now the rush and rip' of oars are close beside us. Again past the gut we see them extended like greyhounds beneath the opposite bank. What a pace they go ! The course is a mile and a quarter, and it would take a,fast trotting horse to keep beside them. Good Words.
