A writer In the Home Journal says !:
GA woman never quite forgets the man
who has once loved her. She may not
have loved him she may, indeed, have
given him the No instead of Yes he
hoped for but the remembrance that
he desired a Yes always softens her
thoughts of him, and would make him,
were he reminded of it, a friend forever.
There may be girls who make a jest of
discarded suitors but they are generally
very young, and the wooing has been
something that did not betoken much
depth of tenderness. There are mer-
canary offers, too. that only awaken scorn
and hate In the woman wooed for money
and not for herself but really to have
t,uched mans heart is something not
to be forgotten while she lives. Always
she remembers how his eyes looked into
hers; how, perhaps. he touched her
hand with his, and how her heart ached
when he turned away without that which
she could not give him. She loves some

The effort of Captain Boyton to cross
the British Channel in an inflated india
rubber dress was virtually successful. tits
true that he was taken ON board steamer
when within eight miles of the French
coast, but he was perfectly able to con-
time his trip except for the circum-
stance that night was close at hand, and
it was judged unwise for him to attempt
a landing after dark. The fact is thus
triumphantly demonstrated that dress
has been invented sufficiently buoyant
to sustain man on the water for almost
any length of time, and so skillfully con-
trived that the wearer can, while lying
on his back, propel himself with pad
die at the rate of three miles an hour.
What is of almost equal Importance with
its buoying property is the protection
which it affords from cold. The strata
of air enclosed between the surface of
the wearer's body and the dress is SO ex-
cellent non-conductor that, as Captain
Boyton has proved by actual experiment,
the wearer can remain in water of the
temperature of thirty-two degrees Fab
renheit for six consecutive hours without
feeling cold. The value of the inven-
ton is too obvious to need comment.
The inventor must be ranked among the
public benefactors.

DUEL ON HORSEBACK

The Myo California; Independent has
the following: Quite chivalrous cpl
sode occurred at Round Valley ON We'd
nesday last. As the matter was to have
been judicially investigated at Big Pine
yesterday, we will await that report be-
fore giving full particulars. A row had
taken place between T. ID. Lewis and
W. L. Wiswall, at the ranch of the
former, all about some boys. AS no sat
isfactory solution of the difficulty could
be attained by war of words and fists,
Wiswall retired from the field of action
with the avowed intention of coming
back better prepared for business. He
did SO, reappearing a short time after,
armed with six-shooter. Lewis, armed
with a shotgun, mounted his war-horse
and sailed forth to meet him. Maneuver-
ing a short time for position, both parties
opened fire. Lewis shot did no good,
but Wiswall's took effect in the neck of
his opponents horse, cutting the bride
rein at tine same time, together rendering
him unmanagable. But the Lewis ban
ner still foated deiantly to the breeze.
and continued to do SO, even after shot
from tie enemy had taken effect near the
sciatic plexus, or that portion of the body
nearest the camille of the saddle. This
was unpleasant, but not sufficient to pre-
vent the wounded men, then dismounted,
from firing another broadside, with the
effect of bringing the action to close,
the enemy drawing off, but still unharm-
ed. 1t was a we'll contested little tourna-
ment, and this system for settling bog
difficulties may become quite popular.
Lewis wound is quite severe, but not
considered particularly dangerous.

A BIT JEALOUS. Yesterday as an old
couple from Canada were wandering
through the City Hall market the man
became SO deeply engaged in watching
two handsome ladies that he failed to
reply to his wife's inquiries. She saw what
allied him, and catching him by the coat
tails she slung him kerwhop" against a
stall, and then taking him by the collar
she said i:
"Samuel Hanover, don't attempt to
trife with me! You know me, Samuel,
and You know that III break your old
neck if catch you trying to play off on
mel"
He turned his attention to the vegeta-
bles after that-Detroit Free Press.

RED INK.-A good story is told apro-
pos of recent Hamlet, who proposed to
play the part of the Dane in a red cloak,
which intention was reported to Shak-
spearean actor of the old school, who
said, Every well; I do not see anything
shocking In that" "But is it right ?"
asked his interlocutor. 81 dare say it
Is" said the actor; "red was the color
of mourning in the royal house of Den
mark" "But how do you get over
this. !" persisted the other quoting, "'Tis

TENACITY OF MET4L.

Many experiments have been tried in
France to test the effect of cold on rail-
way axles. Many engineers suppose
that accidents to wheels do not result
from any diminutien of tenacity of the
metal, but merely from its losing all its
elasticity, owing to the frost hardening
the surface of the earth. A fact which
can be adduced as strong argument in
favor of that theory was observed by the
inhabitants of Montmartre during the
last period of frost. The passing of the
trains which run SO frequently through
the Batignolles tunnel at distance of
half a mile was heard by them day and
night, which is never the case in ordina =
ny circumstances. As soon as the +haw
set in the trains ceased to be heard:
she earth having resumed its former
elasticity, the sounds were sdissipated as
before. -

SALTWATER.

The water of the ocean is weak and,
comparatively speaking, impure brine.
1t contains from three and one half to
four per cent. OF saline matter, of which
about three-fourths is chloride of sodium
or salt, ana about one-fourth impurities.
Its chief impurities consist of chloride
of magnesium and the sulphates of lime,
magnesia and soda. Sea-water varies but
little In composition and concentration
except In localities where either limited
body of water is prevented from an un-
restricted communication with the ocean,
or where large influx of fresh water
causes its dilution. 1t represents the
main source of supply for the manufac-
ture of salt in France, Portugal, Spain,
Italy, the West Indies, and Central and
South America it is also largely used
for the production of salt in Holland,
Belgium and England, being frequently
employed for the solution of rock-salt of
an inferior color. In the United States
it has been turned to advantage but to a
very limited extent. Three hundred to
three hundred and fifty thousand bushels
cover, in all probability, our present
home production of salt from sea-water.

The rabbit forms an important article
of food In Great Britain and Ireland.
Large numbers are imported from the
Continent, and it is estimated that 81
0OO, 900 are annually bred for food. The
flesh is sold at twelve cents (gold) q
pound, which is fully third less than
the price of beef and considerably under
that of the choicer portions of the sheep.
The value of the annual supply is esti-
mated at 81, 1916, 900.

THE Grange.

From the Western Agricultural.
The success Of the Grange is beyond
the most sanguine expectations, and its
success is owing to the fact that Il is
organized On practical and noble prin-
ciples, and the opposition that has
come up against il las only served to
stimulate the organization. There are
many wrong ideas abroad about the
Changes; everything done by the far
mers Is attributed 70 the Oranges. II
is thought BY many that the Oranges
are organized solely FOR the purpose Of
breaking down business men and man
ufactories, which i not the case. The
principle Of the Grange is to stimulate
sll legitimate business BY paying cash
for whatever il bought, and enoourag-
ing homs manufacturing BY patrenizing
them ID preference u sending further
on, and thus fully realizing tie benefits
81 manufacturing AZ connected with
agriculture.
There has heeR great deal said
about middlemen. While the Grange
only proposes to dispense with surplus
middlemen, they do not propose 70 in-
terferc with legitimate cuisines They
sell their products who're they can get
the highest price. and buying their
goods il larger quantities for cash,
they arc entitled 70 better prices; but

The past few days have developed the fact
that tue Democrats are making

All over the city the Democratic politicians

man also CLAIMS to have heard prominent
Democratic Office holder say that he should use
hls utmost endeavors to ootain as many
colored voters as possible-that it WAS some
thing he had never done before, but he would
not scrupe TO do it now.

er colored man received ten dollars this m orn-

that the Democrats are seeking the colored vote.
