Retribution.
Among recent arrivals from the nest
was that of a man whose name does not
appear on any of the big hotel registers,
but. who' is nevertheless pretty weilknowa
about town. lie is part owner of a placer
claim in Dakota. and is interested in sev-
eral other mining ventures, notably one
whose field of operations is not far re-
moved from that of the great liomcstukc
Mining company. This gentleman. whose
surname is suppressed here at his earnest
solicitation, has been nicknamed “Fero-
cious Fred" by his associates, principally
because he wears mustaches of a .kind
that would have brought tears of envy to
the eyes of the gnardsmeu of Louis XIV.
a woanrooxn arresmxce.
Fred arrived' in the city and was met at
the Forty-second street depot by a party
of friends. who were very ranch surprised
at findinghlm with one arm in a sling.
witha strip of court plaster extending
across his forehead just above his eye-
brows and presenting a woebcgoue ap-
pearance generally. l'rcd explained that
his injuries were received during an alter-
cation he had had with a pack mule in his
mining camp, and his statement was ac-
cepted as a matter of course. Most of his
friends had read humorous paragraphs in
reference to the foolhardiness of toying
with the pedal extremities of males, and
Fred’s condition did not excite so much
sympathy as it would have done had his
injuries been sustained in almost any
other ma1111cr.Last night, however, it.
leaked out that Fred had deceived his
fn'ends. While in a convivial mood he
admitted the true origin of his disflgnra-
tion, and this is the story of his latest ad-
venture:
Once a year for the past four years Fred
has paid a flying visit to the mining
regions of Colorado and Dakota. osten—
sibly to look after mining property, but
in reality to do alittlc mining of a very
peculiar sort. Fred. in common with
many other small placer owners in that
neighborhood, has long cherished a feeling
of resentment against the Ilomestake
Mining company. It is alleged that the
latter has gobbled up all the water rights
in the vicinity of the mines, and refuses
to rent them to such other operators as
have good paying claims, hoping thereby
to force them to sell for a nominal sum.
or DEAD or near.
it was while casting about for a way in
which to “get: even" that Fred hit- upon
this plan: The Homestake flume, a cov-
ered wooden gutter about two miles in
length, that carries off the water passed
through the ore crushers, terminates on
the edge of a bluff fifty feet high, down
trickles when the’crnshers are in opera-
tion. At a certain hour every night the
flood gates above are opened. and for a
short. time thereafter the water rushes -‘
out. of the flame in a perfect torrent.
Once a year, for the past four years. Fred
has crawled 111to this flame at dead of
night with a “gunny” bag and a fallow
candle and “cleaned it up" on his own ac}
count. The process. as described by him,
ruin-late in scraping out of the cracks in l
the flooring of the flunxe the gold amalgam ,
that escapes the sieves at. the crushcrs and
settles there. The. plan worked success-
fully the first three trials, each time not-
ting him something like $1,500 for his:
night‘s work.
Quite recently he made his accustomed
descent on the wooden gutter. Unknown 2
to him, however, arrangements had been ~
made to flood the flame on the very night
he had selected for his annual visit. I" ml 1

amalgam and was crawling backward out I
of the flame dragging his bag after him,
when suddenly he heard a roaring noise
and a rush of wind extinguished his
candle.
water came down on him with irresistible ,
force. Fred and his bag of amalgam were !
swept out of the flume, over the bluff and ‘1
down into the rocky bed of a creek fifty ,
feet below. Ills arm was broken in the !
fall, and his head came in contact with a .
rock so forcibly as to render him for a
time obliv' 10115 of his surroundings.
When he regained consciousness Fred
found that the bag containing the amal-
gam had been split open in the fall and
the proceeds of his "honest" labor washed
off in the flood. Disgusted with his ex-
pericnce, be dragged himself to the nearest
mining camp, where he explained that he
had fallen off a bluff while prospecting
and managed to get his wounds dressed.
Then he started back to New York, hav-
ing made up his mind in the meantime
that the resources of the llomestake were
too great- for hint to cope with—New

Statistics of Welght.
Qnetclet obtained some weight records,
but very little reliance can be placed on
them. He concluded from such statistics
ashe could get that a new born infant
was, 011 an average. ouetwcntieth the
weight. which is acquired in middle life;
that during the first year after birth the
increment of weight is about one~tenth of
all that is added subsequently, and that.
between the mm and 211111 years more is
added to the weight than in any other
five year period during life. But indi-
vidual instances differ so widely from the
average that very little reliance can be
placed on such results.
That Quctelet's statistics of weight were
incomplete and unsatisfactory is shown
by the fact that he did not detect the in-
teresting law recently recognlzcd,accor1l-
ing to which the weight increases slowly
(or even diminishes) when the height is
increasing rapidly, but increases rapidly
when the height remains nearly station-

Cowboys of South America.
Sometimes the Gauchos are descended
from evceilent Spanish families, but life
on the boundless pampas has weaned
them from the restraints of civilization as
it exists in the Argentine Republic. That
they are not altogether “wild" is shown
bythe fact that in almost every but is
found a small image or picture which
came through the hands of the simple
priests of Mendoza or Cordova. They will
carry their children for miles across the
pampas and face the dread pampcro to
have the little ones formally baptized. and
in like manner they will carry their dead
across a horse, for burial in consecrated
ground—'1‘. C. fl'arbaugh.
