B ah Instinet of an OM Mexican, | The Mexican miner is the best "in the world, says Mr. 8. D. Woods in "Lights and Shadows of Life lon the Pacific Coast,"' and he gives {an instance of an old Mexican who | seemed by an instinctive faculty to know where "mineral" could be found. He was nearly seventy years of age, and had, apparently, "no ambition beyond providing for | his own simple needs. | Remarkable § He was, I think, the best min-| eralogist and worker of ores I ever knew. He would take his little sack, wander over the hills for per- "haps a month, and delve into the old dumps of the abandoned mines. By this search he would, in a month's time, fill his sack with a hundred pounds of ore. This ore was rebellious, and required the most careful and skilful reduction and refining. oo . "For this 'purpose he had built in one of the canons near by, out of be, .._a@obe which he had, made himself, a little smelter and a refinery.

A Medical Missionary's Pathetic ' Experience. A passage from one of the let- ters written home by a young Am- erican medical missionary--letters that make up "A Bluestocking in India," by Winifred Heston--gives not only a glimpse of the benefits which Eastern women are receiv- ing, but also shows the ennobling reaction' of the work upon the warker. é .. Yesterday I had an experience which 'made me feel small. It was one of my first cataract cases; the woman was absolutely. blind--had inot seen a thing for years. I did e operation on both eyes at one ting; banda them, and sent her to the ward. When the day came for the re- moval of the bandages, I found her in the womanls general ward, which was full to overflowing with patients. She was eager for her release, so I told the nurse to loosen the dressings, and then ap- plied the counting test. : All the women were: as still as mice, holding their breath 'to learn if her sight was really restored. Holding up my fingers before the eyes so long sightless, I asked her to count. She did so: 'One, four." 'She sees! she sees!' whisper- ed the women from cot to cot.

Suddenly a long, glistening arm swept over the stern of the boat, and there remained fixed. The fisherman, appalled at this strange apparition, dropped his oars and sprang to his feet, when, like magic, another hideous-look- ing arm shot out and bent over the gunwale. The boat now listed se- verely, and the man, realizing that he was being attacked by some monster against which his old knife was the only available weapon, seized his oars and labored with might and main to get his boat into a crevice of the rocks, all the time shouting for his mates, who were not far off. He had to strain every nervy 11 drag his hideous cargo after hin, for the suckers never relaxed their hold; and when he got 'i b. at within reach of willing bands, it took the hardest work of the three men to haul it up a slight incline. the monster still hanging on even over the bare rock". Then they belabored the creature's head with oars and clubs, and having safely secured it, sent off to the nearest station and telegraphed concerning the prize which they had captured. It was at once purchased by the museum and carried off to that es- tablishment, after having been pho- tographed. They stretched out the creature's arms before preparing it. I mea- sured the two longest tentacles. They were ten feet and four inches each in length. This, over all, to- gether with the great carpetbag- looking body, gave a measurement of thirty feet across.
