The GREAT SILVER MINING INTERESTS.
The Comstock lode employs 5000
men, and has produced as high as &c.
0O0,0 900 in one year. Since its discovery
about S160, 900, 900 have been taken out,
and the mine still gives as great promise
for the future as has been realized in the
past. The mines in this district have
produced more since their discovery
than was produced from the Comstock
in the same length Of time after its dis
covery, and every days development in
them shows greater extent of ores.

lation is not an acceleration or quickening
OF it in the usual way, by making the
heart beat and throb hurriedly and tumult-
uously. But the circulation is equalized
that is, the blood is drawn from parts or
organs which have too much, and is dis
tributed to those which are suffering for
want Of it. And this blood, (which is the
life, carries in its current the 4" great
inciter of vital changes orygen, whose
presence is the Indispensable condition of
life. The contracting muscles absorb
this oxygen i'll a sir,jold greater proper
ton than when at rest. And this gives
stimulus and FLIP to the animal life SINH
lar to that caused by the inhalation of
oXygenated air. By it the vital processes
are quickened, buoyancy takes the place
of depression, the lungs play more freely,
and the breathing is deeper and fuller; the
muscles are made tense and elastic: the eve
is brighter, the brain clearer, the whole
system tingles and vibrates with a keener,
sharper play of the life forces.
The special effects are noticed in the
action excited i'll parts or organs of the
body which are unhealthy or weakened.
The more thoroughly circulated blood and
the increased amount of oxygen absorbed
by the muscular tissue arouse and stmu-
late the vital changes by which the atoms
the body are removed and re-
placed. And as the body is thus rebuilt,
under healthier conditions, unhealthy and
weakened structures are the seat of unus-
ual activity, until they regain healthy,
normal standard-until, in short, Disease
and Weakness are supplanted by Healthy
and strength.-7Ae HeahA-Lift Company,

An Extinct Race of Miners.

Hon. S. w. Hill, of Marshall, Michigan,
has been engaged during the past Summer
in making thorough exploration of Isle
Royal, Lake Superior, for minerals and was
successful beyond all anticipation. We
are indebted to Mr.. H. for beautiful geo.
logical map of Isle Royal, which, if not the
first, is the most full and accurate ever
published. He writes US that many works
of race now extinct have been found far
exceeding in extent and Importance any
thing of the kind in any other part of the
world.
The remains of considerable number
ancient copper mines have been lately dis
covered on Isle Royal, in Thunder Bay, on
the northern border of the lake, which ex-
hibit undoubted evidence of having been
worked by race of men long since extinct,
and of whom we possess no knowledge
save that left behind by such traces as are
being brought to view.
Shafts of considerable depth, filled and
choked with the accumulated debris of
ages, have been opened, and in penetrating
to a depth of sixty feet, tools of wonder
full workmanship have been discovered,
together with charcoal remains, which
marked the spot where skilled artisans
formed from copper tools whose temper
and durability would astonish the ingeni-
GUS makers Of the present day. Hammers
and chisels seem to have been the principal
imp Elements for working the mine which,
together with fire, reduced the ore to a
condition which rendered its removal in
detail easily accomplished. Finely tenn
pered knife blades have been picked out of
the pit, and granite hammers Of such sizes
as to require the strength of no ordinary
man to WELD successfully. The Iron Age,
in alluding to these discoveries on Isle
Royal, says:
''These discoveries, wonderful as they
are, do not stand alone, nor they present
any new facts in relation to tho people who
formerly inhabited this continent. They
simply go to strengthen the evidence that
centuries before the written history of
America powerful and civilized communi-
ties occupied every portion of this DOMAIN,
who disappearing, left behind them proofs
of their progress in the arts and sciences,
and their indubltable skill in agriculture.

THE SERVANT goal" QUESTION.

Miss Margaret Buchanan, in her "queens
of the Kitchen" discourses on the servant
question in the following manner:
"House work is admirably calculated to
preserve robust woman, and to strengthen
one who is weak. An hour in the laundry
is better than vial of iron. For woman
not obliged to support herself, house work
is a duty. What one of the five thousand
girl clerks in the stores of Chicago would
not rather make beds, wait on table and
help cook than stand behind public
board nine hours day, without mental
occupation, without physical relief, stand
ing until the weary limbs are ready to tot
ter; standing to be stared at by the vile
and the virtuous; standing like a galley
standing nine hours day for eight dollars
il week? House work is easier than rum
ming sewing machines, or making dresses.
1t is easier than teaching; and, while en-
gagged in its lighter forms, young lady
may find more time for mental culture than
teachers do, Judging by what they them
selves say, and by the spasmodic demand
of scattered Drained theorists, who want
them examined every year or so to see
how much they have forgotten that they
cannot remember. House work is the
natural physical occupation of all women.
To women alone it should be confided-
The domestic labor market should be shut
to men: and a single instance of righteous
monopoly he thus supplied to the observa.
ton OF the farmers. 1t is not only women's
right but it is their duty, toshold exclu-
sive possession of the kitchen and the DIM
ing room. 1t gives them great power.
Upon the administration of the kitchen
hangs world of veal or woe. An innu-
merable train of diseases is concealed in
the side board. Not bodily diseases mere
ly, but hypochondria and Mysteries, and
their blue and stunted offspring. A ladle
is the mightiest sceptre on EARTH Had
Josephine been a good cook, the most noto-
rious scandal in history might have re-
manned untold, arrangements of the
nerve plexuses and of the ganglia of the
viscera have produced divorces and over
turned empires

SHEEP IN COLORADO.

Within the last two years great impe-
tus has been given to wool growing in
Colorado, and the last few months have
brought quite an accession of California
wool growers to Southern Colorado, in
their opinion, that section of the Territory
being superior for the purpose to the even
acknowledged excellence of the Golden
Slope. A great many sheep are brought
in from the States, and when free from the
scab they do well. But the tendency now
is to buy up Mexican or partially graded
Mexican sheep, and grade them up with
the Merino. For a time the Cotswold,
Leicester and South Down had quite run
with some breeders, but believe the pref.
erence for the Merino is now becoming
pretty general. The Mexican sheep are
preferred because they are acclimated, are
free from disease, and are essentially a
herding sheep. The excellent natural
herding qualities of the Merino, over and
above his other wei! known excellencies,
make him favorite. Flocks of from fif-
teen hundred to three thousand, and some
times even five thousand, are herded to-
gether in charge of single shepherd
Herders receive generally from twenty to
twenty-five dollars per month and found;
some extra men receive extra compensa-
ton.
Great enterprise has been displayed in
importing the best blooded bucks from the
States and from Canada, for grading pur-
poses. The first cross of the Mexican and
Merino is great improvement; two or
three crosses and you have an excellent
grade sheep. Many persons think wool
growing the profitable branc of the stock
business. In my opinion that great scope
the great divide on the north and the Ar
kansas river on the south, and from the
mountains on the west, extending to line
fifty miles eastward, is peculiarly adapted
to wool growers. But you will find d.
versity Of opinion as to preference of local
ity. 1t is hard to answer the common in
quiry as to what the profits of the business
are, as much depends upon individual care
and management, as in any other business,
but am safe in saying 100 per cent per
annum net profits is realized by some wool
growers.
The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fee rail.
roads runs through this fine country, and
the Company have three million acres of
cheap land adapted to the raising of sheep
equal to any region on the globe.

MERCURIAL OINTMENT FOR GUNS.


After reading 81. H. D. 's'' article in
the Sportsman on mercurial ointment as a
preventive against rust in gun barrels, l
thought | would write and tell you nv
it constantly for twenty years, and l have
never found anything to equal it, and l
believe l have tried everything else, even
that nanseating remedy kerosene OIL For
external application, when hunting in wet
and damp weather. rub the gun with a
piece of chamois skin, or bit of any kind
of cloth, thoroughly saturated with the
ointment, and no matter how bad the day,
do not find a trace of rust at night
This should be done daily as it soon rubs
off by handling. 1t is not necessary to
put fresh ointment upon the skin or cloth
at every application, for after it has once
become we'll saturated it will last long
time before it will need renewing. For
inside use, after the gun has been cleaned
| place the channels skin over the end of
my wiper and push it up and down tie
barrel a few times, then put the gun in the
case and leave it until l want to use it
again. have fine Damascus gun which
have used constantly since the the Fall of
1861, and it is as smooth inside to day as
it was on the day of purchase, which
attribute entirely to the proper use of mer-
curial ointment have not fired my gun
since last September, but examined it this
morning and found it as smooth inside as
ever, with not sign of rust. Away with
kerosene, mutton tallow, olive oil and all
other remedies as long as mercurial oint
ment can be obtained. This is also the
cheapest of all. Fifty cents worth is one
half cheaper than any other remedy at the
same cost, and | conscienciously recon-
mend it to all sportsmen. If they give it
Il fair trial | am satisfied they will never
use anything else. l was first led to use it
from the fact that all fine instruments
shipped from Europe are Amounted with
mercurial ointment, which prevents them
from rusting; so argued if good for in
struments, why not good for guns and l
tried it with the above results.
If you think this article worth publish
ing, for the interest of brother sports, you
can do SO; if not consign it to the waste
basket. OTTER.

A SONG TO BRING SLEEP.

Two little eyes,
Blue as the azure deep of the skies,
Now as roguish, now wondrous wise,
Solemn and funny, all in a twink,
Changing and changing with every wink.
Two little lips,
Red as the flaming coral tips,
Sweet as the rose the wild been sips,
Singing snd prattling all day long,
And kissing and coaxing with witchery
strong.
Two little hands,
Busy as bird and busy as bee,
Gathering " funny things" for me;
Weaving webs, and 1" building a house
Just the size for wee, wee mouse
Two little feet,
Trot-foot and light foot-oh! what pair.
Now here, now these, now everywhere;
Running of errands, dancing in glee,
Skipping and jumping merrily.
Two little eyes-closed!
Two little lips-shut!
Two little hands-clasped!
Two little feet-still.
God give my darling pleasant dreams.

RELATIVE LONGEVITY OF THE
SEXES.

The chronological Journal says -
There are more males than females
born by 4 per cent. At the age OF 20
there are more females than males. At
the age of 20 the preponderanee is
again on the other side, and there are
more males than females. At 20 the
sexes are again evan. Between 20 aud
100 years there ale more women than
men, or an excess OF 5 per cent. The
mortality OF woman is greatest between
the ages of 20 and 40. After 40 years
of aye the probabilities otsougevity, as
Is shown, are far greater for females
than for males.
