There is great demand at the pres
ent time for mineral known among
miners as p.t,h blende, but to metallur-
gists as Uranium. The New York Mail,
a paper which is taking quite an interest
in mining matters, says an English man
ufacturing firm are inquiring for it.
The mineral has been found in small
specimens in different parts of the
Rocky mountains, and it is possible
that bodies exist which are considered
to be worthless. Assays will probably
reverse this judgment. Uranium is
used in decorating chinaware and por-
celain, and forms the gold coloring mat
ter frequently seen on this class of goods.
The firm mentioned offered to give $50

York, for ore that will run twenty-five
per cent. in uranium, and $3.50 Isl, 440)
for ore that will run sixty per cen.
The mineral is coal black in it's natural
state and has the same cleavage as

divided ipto three doses. and taken on
an empty stomach for three alternate
mornings, fasting three hours after tax

three times and take as above, making

between each ; the time thus being ex

cine is not taken. This remedy is Sd
simple and easily procured that none
need hesitate to try it who have any
apprehension of having been bitten by
a mad dog, or any other rabid animal ;
and it would not interfere with any
local treatment that might be thought
advisable. This root is provocative of

Fifteen Cents OFF,"

A Detroiter who dresses we'll and has
reasonable share of good looks had
occasion last week to make trip to the
country, and one night he found him
self at o farm house at which perty
was to come off. He was invited to
participate in the festivities, and after
he had consented the old farmer took
him around the corner OF the house and
said:
1.-The young folks are mighty fond
of any game with kissing in it. They'll
get up something and fix it to make
you kiss the handsomest gal in the
ROOM"
"Well. I'll kiss her." was the prompt
Eyes, but hold on little" con-
tinued the old man. There's my gal
Emma. We think she's as purity as any
of em, bnt certain folks around here
kinder sniff at her cause her nose
crooks bit and her hair is trife
high-colored. Now. want you to kiss
Em. for the handsomest gal in the
room. It'll do the ole woman good,
do Em good. and kinder set these ere
snitfrrs back little. 1 don ask you
to kiss her for nothing, but If you'll
do it, I'll throw fifteen cents off n your
bill in the morning. What dye say ?"
The young man said he'd do it, and
the father continued
THAT'S the checker. Don't have
any make believe about it, but kiss her
right pop out. so that we kin all hea-
the smack J.
The game was played, the Detroiter
was fixed" and he kissed EN-. like
the pop of a pistol. He felt all the
happier for it that night, seeing how
greatly the old woman was pleased, but
next forenoon as he logged along he
had to run the gauntlet of score Of
farmers sons waiting i'll fence corners to
lick him because he passed their gals"
by for" Em." He was struck by thir
teen stones, six clubs and about a
bushel of potatoes before he got out Of
the neighborhood, and when he came
to figure up, he realized that fifteen
cents was no iuducement at all.-De-

he comes back, he times his return so
as to strike his native town by back

through the alleys. climbs over the back
fence, taps at the kitchen window and
begs, under his breath, to be let in, and
when he gets in he stays in bed three or
