OK fifteen years,
ever since he was
a boy of 12,a young
man from Iowa has
haunted the tlra
berline of Colora
do's mountains. As
a boy be worked In
the camps and did
any kind of work
there was to do.
Gradually he be
came un expert with horses, and for
years has made a business of breaking
and training them. He has always
been called "Tlmberllne.” owing to his
lore for the mountain heights, but his
real name la 0. G. Kepllnger. He Is
handy with his gun, Is as brave as a
man cad be, and Is at present marshal
of a camp called "Dillon,” not far from
'Breckenhldge, Col. His wonderful
bight and strength make him remark
able at first sight, as he stands six feet
It four and so half Inches In Ills stockings,
Perhaps "Tlmlterllus," who Is a typical
mountain cowboy in dress, mannerism
And speech, may have Inherited an ar
tistic ability from bis parents, who
■till live In Sidney, la , and perhaps
bis life, often in solitude among na
ture's wonders up in the azure near
the snow line, may have developed an
artist's soul In his herculean body. At
any rate, during the Intervals of his
wild life among wild men and beasts,
bo sought to portray wltb a sharpened
^ Wlece of lead ore the grandeur of the
Kv uions and peaks. His hands wore
* V accustomed to holding a Winches
ter, but his success was sufficient to
■ncourage him. The look of refine
ment and sympathy deepened In his
face, and his study of the gentle art
and still gentler nature, made him
‘ ' more of a man, with all the longings
Of an artist for the beautiful. Like
all geniuses lie was very modest and
Hplid not think the trifling work worth
'Anything except to amuse his lonely
hours. H’s rough companions twitted
P, they dared, for the young marshal
would not stand everything. He is
||| but 27 years old now, and full of all
. the fires and passions of youth. While
kis mountain friends sometimes
laughed at him, they all respected him,
' and privately expressed their admira
tlon for the young fellow. One day
f last summer a young woman of Den
Qf, ver visited the vicinity of his home In
the clouds. She was a born artist, one
who loved art for art’s sake. She saw
the young man, marveled at bis tall,
p well-knit frame, saw the look of re
finement In bis storm seamed face and
^ soon gained his confidence. He hesi
| tatlngly told her of his love for draw
I Ing and she gave him some water col
w ors to use. For a long time nothing
*was heard of him, when suddenly he
jf arrived In Denver the other day to
show his benefactor some of his water
color sketches. He had drawn them
over and over again until he though he
bad made them pretty nearly like the
scenery about him. The coloring Is
delicate and accurate, the perspective
|k good, and the drawing In proportion.
He did not expect praise, but received
W It, and was at once made the idol of
the Colorado Art Club. "Tlmberline”
, Is like the deer of hU mountain home
£ when It comes to close contact with
the ally world. He made a quaint pic
ture of himself as he stood In midst
•f the little group of artists, with bis
sow boy costume, the Immense som
l brero, and the “gun” sticking in his
belt.

MITER MADE OF IVORY.
Unlqn* Present Received by the Blehop
of Londont
From the London Chronicle: There
has just been presented to the bishop
of London a miter which is the only
one of its kind in the world. It Is of
burnished Ivory, with gold orphreys.
On the plaques or plates are written in
pure leaf gold the words "Holiness to
the Lord,” In Hebrew, Greek, Latin and
English, These words, It will bs re
membered, were ordered to be written
on Aaron's miter—as it is described In
Exodus xxvlll-xxlx. The Hebrew and
Ihe English are on the front plates. The
lining is of crimson corded silk, and
the lapels are the same covered with
cloth of gold, each bearing a Greek
cross of thin Ivory. Otherwise there is
no adornment whatever, and the effect
generally is at once plain and rich. The
shapes of miters have varied through
the ages. There sqems to be little doubt
that the original linen miter prescribed
for Aaron was a fillet of linen. But In
Exodus, xxlx., it Is ordered, "Thou
sbalt put the miter upon his head, and
put the holy crown upon the mltar.’’
So that the effect of the original high
priest’s miter was that of a fillet with
a crown superposed. And so it has
been since the Christian church adopt
ed miters, there has been the fillet and
the crown. In the eastern church th«
crown has almost concealed the fillet.
Miters In the west have been of various
shapes. The papal tiara is a thrice
crowned miter. The Celtic and old En
glish form is much lower than that
nrevaillng generally In the west. The
best known type of the former Is the
Limerick miter—whose lines have been
here followed—which has been engrav
ed times untold. Miters have been of
linen, of silk, of gold and sliver, and
all these plain or Jeweled. It does not
appear to have occurred to anybody
until this year to make one of Ivory.
Unexpected difficulties arose, but they
were overcome by a little Ingenuity and
care. The miter Is "a thank offering,
1897,” and the donor, with whom the !
Idea originated, desires to remain un
known.
AT PARIS IN 1600.
Sensitive Parisians have at times
suspected that the Ingenuity of devis
ing the Eiffel tower was matched, If not
surpassed, by the construction of the
Kerris wheel at the Chicago world's
fair. Inspired by the patriotic duty
of conceiving some stupendous project j
whereby to reclaim their supremacy '
and outdazzle the American triumph,
the novelty producers of the French j
capital have racked their resourceful
brains. The revolving palace Is the
result. This structure, designed by M. j
Charles Devic, will consist of a hexag
onal shaft 350 feet In height, divided
Into twenty-five stories. The entire
palace Is to be covered with nickel
plate, aluminium, ornamental tiling
and glass. Illumination will come from
20,000 Incandescent and 2,000 arc lights
of varied colors, arranged so as to
bring out clearly all decorative lines,
balconies, turrets, pillars and statues.
In the loftiest part of the palace are
to be a chime of sixty-four bells and a
powerful organ played by compressed
air. Above these, and crowning the
whole, will perch the weather vane—a
cock fifteen feet high and formed from
1,200 Incandescent lights. The entire
structure is to turn on a pivot and to
be moved by hydraulic apparatus, al
ways at the same speed, making a com
plete revolution once an hour. Spec

TRUE SHARK STORY.
HOW A MOTHER FISH WENT
FORTH TO FIND A MEAL.

“How very hard it Is to provide for
a young fast-growing family nowa
days,” said the mother shark, turning
for the hundredth time that morning
upon her broad side in order to get a
better view of what might be stirring
above. For nearly a week she had
been fasting; in fact, ever since she
caioe in hurriedly at the close of a
great feast upon the stripped carcass
of a recent whale, says the 1/ondon
Spectator. There, by dint of the en
ergy of her massive shoulders, her
fourteen feet of length, and fivefold
rows of triangular teeth, she had man
aged to secure a respectable propor
tion of the spoil for the replenishing
of her own huge maw as well as for
the upkeep of the fourteeen sharkllng"
that were now restlessly darting In
and out of their coxy cave at the far
end of her capacious throat. Within
the immediate range of her glance a
vast black shadow obscured a wide,
irregularly shaped area of the blazing
sunshine. It was so calm that the
shadow seemed stationary. In the di
rection of this cool penumbra her gaze,
lingered earnestly. For hereditary in
stinct as well as long experience gave
her the knowledge that from the sub
stance of such shadows came food
dropping down, varied and toothsome,
actually alive on rare occasions. Some
what Impatiently she wondered at the
long time that her little blue-and-gold
attendant had been gone. He was so
seldom absent from his place between
her eyes for a whole minute that she
got quite uneasy. But while she fidget
ed fretfully, with many twitchlngs of
her flexible “gaff-topsail," back came
the pilot-fish in a tearing hurry. “Now,
uicij, jmi i.iici , uiuvt; biuiik, uu, i iicic »
a lump of fat pork almost as big aB
your head hanging over that ship’s
stern. I don't quite understand why
It doesn’t sink, but It Is good. I nib
bled Just a crumb, and you can be
sure that this time It is no bagful of
cinders like that nasty mouthful that
gave you the chestache so bad this
morning.” The latter part of this en
ergetic exodium was lost upon the
mother shark, being drowned in the
wash set up by her great tail-fin, which
was going In grand style, starting her
off at. such a rate that two or three
stragglers of the family had to skip
like shrimps to get lndooors before
they were left behind and lost. Straight
as an arrow to the mark went the tiny
guide, keeping Just In front of his huge
friend’s snout. Together they swept
Into the shadow, where, sure enough,
a mass of meat hung Just below the
sea surface, though gently lifted al
most out of the water every now and
then. "Oh, do look, mamma, there’s
a big fish. Is he going to eat up that
pretty little one, do you think?” "Oh,
no, my little man," struck in the mate,
“but you watch him now.” As he
spoke the great gray body took a curve
laterally, a dazzling glare of white ap
peared, and there beneath the speaker
was a crescentic gap in the smooth,
livid white under side, fringed with
innumerable points like chevaux-de
frlse, and as big as the gap of a coal
sack. Around it the small pilot circled
excitedly at top speed. Slowly it rose
beneath the bait, which the mate as
gently slacked away, there was a gulp,
and the big Joint disappeared. There
was a flash, a splash, and an eddy.
Then the rope attached to the shark
hook concealed in that pork groaned
over the rail as it felt the strain. "Lay
aft the watch," roared the mate, and
amid the tramping of many feet, a
babel of directions and a tremendous
tumult alongside, through the writh
ing of the captive monster, she was
transferred forward to the lee gang
wdt whfirp hv the u ii\ rtf a ctout
watch-tackle, she was hoisted out of
water.
"Don't take him aboard,” cried the
captain: "make such an Infernal mess
If you do. Just spritsle—yard him 'n
let him go agen." So a piece of scant
ling was got from the carpenter,
pointed at both ends, about four feet
long. This they drove between her
laws from side to side. Another wedge
shaped piece was planted diagonally
lown through her broad snout, the
upper end pointing forward. Then
they cut olf the wide pectoral fins, let
ting the quivering carcass fall Into
the sea again hy the simple expedient
>f chopping the hook out. "What
ibonlmable cruelty," muttered a gen
:le-fared man among the crowded pas
sengers. as he turned away sick at
mart. Hut the bustling seamen looked
vltylngly at him. wondering doubtless !
it his lack of sporting Instincts.

Nowhere on iny travels so far have
I seen so much warm-blooded rejoic
ing life as iu this grand arctic reserv
ation by so many regarded as desolate,
says the Atlantic. Not only are these
whales In abundance along the shores,
and innumerable seals, walruses and
white bears, but great herds of fat
reindeer on the tundras, and wild
sbeep, foxes, hares, lemmings, whist
ling marmots and birds. Perhaps
i more birds are born here than in any
other region of equal extent on the
continent. Not only do strong-wing
ed hawks, eagles and water fowl, to
whom the length of the continent Is
only a pleasant excursion, come up
here every summer In great numbers,
but also many short-winged warblers,
thrushes and finches to rear their
young In safety, re-enforce the plant
bloom with their plumage and sweet
en the wilderness with song, flying all
the way, some of them, from Florida,
Mexico and Central America. In thus
going so far north they are only going
home, for they were born here, and
only go south to spend the winter
months as New Englanders go to
Florida. Sweet-voiced troubadours,
they sing in orange groves and vlno
clad-magnolia woods In winter, in
thickets or dwarf birch and alder in
summer, and sing and chatter more
or less all the way back and forth,
keeping the whole country glad. Oft

WEBS WOVEN INTO A NET.
Balloon Coverings Bring Marie from
TliregiU Spun Uy Rpldtru.
According to the Paris Temps' cor
respondent at Antananarivo, a special
fine net, made entirely of spiders’ webs,
is being manufactured in the profes
sional school at Antananarivo. The
process is a very simple one. The
thread of several dozen spiders Is
wound on winders, the quantity pro
duced by each spider ranging from fif
teen to forty yards. The covering of
the web Is removed by repeated wash
ings, and the web made Into a thread
of eight strands. When the thread Is
spun, It Is easily woven Into a tfauze,
which is very fine but very strong.
It is to be used for an experimental
covering of a navigable balloon by Mr.
Renard, the head of the French mili
tary balloon school at Chalais, near
Paris, who has been engaged for many
years In experimenting in aerial navi
gation. It is believed that the differ
ence In the weight of an ordinary
spiders’ web net will make a great im
provement.
Anatralliin Oynterv.
The Australian mollusk is of two
kinds—the mud oyster and the rock
oyster. The former grows to a larger
size, hut the rock oyster is more gen
erally esteemed for flavor. Their names
indicate their place of growth. The
rock oysters love the beds and adjoin
ing rocks of tidal streams. They grow
In clusters, In a variety of shapes and
sizes, and each cluster is attached to
something solid. Here they are alter
nately bathed In salt water and In
fresh or brackish. They are also left
for hours high and dry until the in
coming tide refreshes them. Nor do
the oysters always select rocks on
which to dwell. These accommodat
ing mollusks may frequently be found
adhering to the roots and lower
branches of the mangrove and other
trees which delight in a sort of sub
marine residence. It is doubtless to
this peculiarity that the sailor referred
when he wrote to his mother at home
telling the old lady, and not untruly,
that in Australia oysters grow ou trees.

A laugh and a smile her charms en

At home the heart ot the dazzling

Always bright, like the roty wine;
Winning the world with her simple

Shadows fly from her sunny fare,
And no heart heats In the dally whirl
As light as the heart of the gaiety girl.
Here and there like a bird that wings
Its flight in many lands and sings;
Now in the realm of the drifting

Now in thp South where the orange

Holding hearts In her gleesome thrall,
Nightly winning the smiles of all;
Beautiful ever In pose and twirl,
The world's less dark for the gaiety

How beats her heart for mother and

And Love doth weave 'mid the season's

A crown for the brow of the gaiety
