The case against the Texas desperate
Currie, who insulted Miss Cummings, a
member of theatrical company travel
ing in Texas, and shot Porter, another
member, who was travelling with Miss
Cummings, while waiting at the depot
for train in Marshall, has resulted in a
verdict of "not guilty because of in
sanity" which is mockery Of justice
and disgrace to the civilization of the
community in which it occurred. Such
fragrant cases of acquittal as this give the
Southern States a lawlcss character,
which they do not deserve. The hang
ing of few such desperadoes as Currie
would greatly improve the reputation Of
the whole country.

The Family Purse,

The money question between husband
and wife is one of the most serious draw
backs to married happiness, and it is
time it was adjusted Oh a more just and
equal basis. The life of utter depend
ence which some women lead is crushing
and degrading. Men do not realize the
utter helplessness and vacuity to which
the system condemns woman. Now,
does anybody believe that it is necessary
for the welfare OF the family that she
should go to him for % cents every time
thread? Is it right or Just to take her
imbecility in money matters for granted
before she has been tested? Is it not
Just such women, who are left by the
failure of some speculative craze to their
own resources, with the burden of a
family upon their inexperienced Shout
ders, who often display wonderful
addition to thrift and persevering in
dustry, which ought to put all such men
to shame?
Women, as II general rule, can make
one dollar 60 as lar rs two in the hands
Of men; and many conceited individuals.
who now consider that the social system
bounded by four walls Of their dwelling
would cease torevolyc if they were taken
out of it, would find great happiness and
great pecuniary advantage i'll putting the
control of ali the interior details of their
homes in the hands of their wives, with
division Of the income equal to the re,
quirement - WOman's JOHrndi.

A Delightful Epoch.

For six months before marriage q
woman is perfectly happy. She has love
newly awakened daily growing MS the
weeks run on. She is looked upon at
home as a much more important person
than any of the other daughters. She en-
joys all the freedom Of u married woman,
while responsible for none of a married
womans duties. She is acknowledged
almost an equal by her father and moth
err She is from under the control Of
fatherandmother, and not under the con-
troll of her future husband. She enjoys
for the first time the intimate confidence
Of n man, who treats her IA a superior,
and who deiers to her. She, for the first
time, catches glimpse of disposing of
IN income, and having her individual
taste held paramount For the first time
,he feels She has lifelong stake in the
career of man. And under all and
over all, and around all, is her love for
him.

YOUNG MEN.
The Kind OF Chaps who are Disappoin.
~ LeAdville.

lLeAdflHe Chronicle
Almost daily there arrive by all the va.
rious roads which lead into Leadyille
young men who have left home and
friends, and with no experience or money
to back them, come here to ''make liv-
ing" as they call it. Poor, vain deluded
youths! Not that there is ample work
here for the willing, not that those who
come here fail to obtain employment
but, alasl it is not always that which
causes the young men who week be-
fore came here with hopes brightly burn
ing, to return home detected ard dis
couraged. II is fact, which has been
proven again and again, that the majority
Of the vast army of young men come to
Leadville in the delusion that a lax state
Of society prevails here, which will enable
them to live in romantic sort of way
without working.
Mining! What sense Of novelty the
word conveys to an adventurous East
erner To lead the free and easy life of
a miner, to sleep in log cabin, to work
with a revolver strapped around your
waist, to spend a couple Of hours each
day hunting among the mountains forelk
and bear and deer; perchance 90 through
an Indian Highland all that sort OF
thing which is supposed to make up the
life Of a miner; what joyous scenes OF eS-
element the word miner calls up Alas,
when the stern reality presents itself TO
the deluded mortal, what tumbling down
of air castles is there, my countrymen,
when the Young man finds what in all the
brief years of his existence he has never
found out that it is work-and the hard
est kind Of work at that-which makes
the money that makes the mare 60.
The quick, active workers are those
who make success Of it here. The first
case Of failure by one Of those 80
gifted yet remains to be recorded Hunt
these mountains high and low and you
can't find worker who has failed in
Leadville.
This is the class Of people who, though
they may not have more than what they
have earned by hard labor when the week
is past, see millions within their grasp,
and who give you their solemn pledge
that they will strike it three weeks hence.
They are never discouraged, and take
things just as they come, whether i'll on
good.
Leadville is composed exclusively of a
working class of people, in the practical
sense Of the word. These mines about
us are filled with clerks, professors, law
yers and doctors. Don't for moment
imagine that they are there as ornaments,
receiving large salaries and doing moth
ing No, indeed. In their rough miners
garb you would take them never for what
they are. They are workers, even though
their early years were spent i'll colleges,
banks and offices. They dig and delye
side by side with your common laborer,
who understands neither Latin nor
French, and know only one thing, and
that is that they must work just as hard
as their illiterate companions "to the
manor born if they expect to make the
same wages.
These are the men who compose the
active element which has given Leadyill,
its reputation for push and enterprise
and those who have not the means t.
build up business here nor wish to dc
some hard work had better not come.

Six Little Women Of the Olden Time

In 1916, sixty-fye years ago, says tho
Boston journal, six little women Of
Waterford, Vt, rode on the same horse
Waterford hills. Their names and ages
were as follows Lois Rowell, aged
twelve years Nelly Caswell and Rhoda
Pike, aged eleven years; Polly Caswcll
and Lois Pike, aged eight years, and
Anna CaswcIl, aged four years, Lois
Rowell sat ON the saddle and held the
reins, and small Anna Caswell and the
other four misses rode behind her. They
had a nice time, which they all still re-
member, for they are all still living.
Lois Rowell. now Mrs. Charles $. Greg.
DRY, lives with her sOn-in-law, Mr. Cas-
well, on beautiful farm ON the west
bank Of the Connecticut III Concord, Vt.
She has been totally blind for some five
years, but is intelligent, cheerful and so
cial, one Of those venerable ladies whom
it is pleasant to meet and converse with
Nelly Caswell is now Mrs. Jilcs Jones Of
Victory, Vt. Rhoda Pike is Mrs. Nelson
MlIlcn whose residence the writer does
not remember; Polly CasweH, now Mrs
Horace Buck, and Lois Pike, Mrs. JEFF
ierson IIosmcr, live in Littleton, n. H.. =,
and Anna Gaswell, Mrs. Wilson Buck, in
Charleston, Vt. They are all now
widows except Mrs. Millcn, and Mr.
Millcn is her second husband. Who
knows of six other women who together
enjoyed lark sixty-four years ago that
has been pleasant memory to them
from that time to this?

Educated Women.

Educated women have wide sphere.
There is, indeed, some discussion MS to
its exact bounds. Some doubt for in
stance, whether they have Legitimate
function in the pulpit. Om own view
is that character and ability are Gods
chart of duty. But, whatever may bo
decided in regard to the pulpit, there
is one field where educated women are
i'll demand. That is the home. The
educated woman liz the best wife, the
best mother, the best housckccpcr, the
best economist. The coming men "
could afford to pay all the expenses of a
full training for their future wives merely
for the greater good they would receive
from them. In these days We pity the
ignorant mother Six years of hard
study are well invested, if for nothing
more than to be able to answer thou
sand questions which curious youngsters
will be asking in a few years.

A Land OF Wonders.

Nevada is q land of curious natural
phenomena, says the Eureka (Ney.)
Leaier. Her rivers have no visible out
let TO the ocean. She has no lakes OF
any magnitude. She has vast stretches
Of alkali deserts, however, that give
every indication OF having been the beds
or bottoms Of either seas or lakes. Down
in Lincoln County there is spring OF
ice cold water that bubbles up over a
rock and disappears on the other side,
aai no one has been able to find where
the water goes. At another point in the
same county is a large spring about
twenty feet square, that is, apparently,
uuly some eighteen or twenty inches in
depth, with sandy bottom. The sand
can be plainly seen, but on looking closer
il Is perceived that this sand is in per-
petual state Of unrest. No bottom has
ever been found to this spring. tits said
that teamstcr, on reaching this spring
one day. deceived by its apparent shall
lowness, concluded to soak one of his
wagon wheels to cure the looseness Of its
tire. He, therefore, took it off and

water. He never laid his eyes on that
wagon wheel again The mountains are
full Of caves and caverns, many Of which
have been explored to great distance.
Speaking Of caves, rodeo was held last
spring over in Huntington Valley. Dur
ing it's progress quite number Of cattle
were missed, and for time unavailing
search was made for them. AT last they
were traced to the mouth Of a natural
tunnel or cave III the mountain. The
hcrders entered the cave, and following
it for "a long distance, at last found the
cattle. ltappears that ,hey had probably
entered the cave, which was very narrow,
in search Of water. 1t had finally mar
rowcd so that they could proceed no
farther. Neither could they turn around
to get out. They had been missed some
days, and, if they had not been found,
must inevitably have persisted in short
time As it was, they were eXtricHtcd
from their predicamont with difficulty by
the herders squeezing past and getting
IN front Of them and soaring them into q
rctrogradc movement by Tapping then

Singular Instance Of Matprnal Forget.
fulness.

A singular and perhaps fatal instance
of maternal forgetiuness occurred re-
Gently in the town of Red Clay, Ga The
wife of Nh. Rose. the owner Of planning
mill, had occasion to visit her husband
ut the mill, and took her ten months old
babe along. While at the mill her child
fell asleep and the mother placed it in It
large box. On leaving the mill she for
got the child, which was sleeping peace
fully. Some flours later she remarked
its absence. but thought she had told her
husband to bring it home. At supper
the father came, but without the child,
and when the mother anxiously inquired
for it, telling where she had left it. .
sickly pnllor spread over Mr.. Roses face,
and he informed her that few minutes
before he had emptied several bushels OF
meal into the box, and in all probability
the child was dead The babe was re-
covered in an inscnsible condition, and
at last accounts there was little chance
OF its recovery.

Cost Of Modern Armies.

A detailed comparison Of the cost en-
tailed by standing armies shows some
very curious results, which the COl,siitu-
honteL gives IN compact form. Among
the great Powers, England of course,
stands prc-cminent for the extravaganza
of its expenditure, the annual cost of each
man III the army being \, 5OOf or EliO,
while for the Indian army the cost per
man is ,5OOf, or about half. Next but
at long interval, comes Austria Hun
gary with an expenditure of about ISL;
then France and Germany, the latter of
which countries spends Just Ei3 per an
mum per man. The other two great
Powers each spend little less than Ger
many, but the difference il exceedingly
small. Italy appears to pay Just under
Gao and Russia Just over E3s. which is
rs will he observed, not very much
more than quarter of the expense re-
CURED by the British soldier. On the
other hand, IL table showing the proper
ton of money spent on the army to the
general expenditure of the countries tells
a very different tale, and almost reyerscs
the positions on the list of the several
European Powers 1t appears from tho
calculation made by the CoUstjtutjomql
that there is paid toward the army in
England and the colonies only IA per
cent of the budget, and this percentage
is the same in the case of Italy Austria
Hungary occupies the next place, with
proportion Of 10 per cent, and next come
the two rivals, France and Germany
with similar total Of q per cent, Rus
STA bringing up the rear with an expen-
dlture of 20 per cent or double that Of
England Ii is estimated that the main
tenance of the army cost annually to each
head of the population about Is. Cd. in
Italy, rs. 4d. in Russia, IS. Cd. in Ger

An Indian Brides IIcY0tion.

There ara few instances of devotion
that prove the existence Of love in n
higher degree than that given by Kit
Curson's Indian wife to her brave and
manly lover. While mining in the West
he married an Indian girl, with whom
he lived very happily. When he was
taken ill, long way from home, word
was sent to his wife, who mounted fleet
mustang pony and travelled hundreds
OF miles to reach him. Night and day
she continued her journey, resting only
for few hours on the open prairie, fly
ing on her wonderful little steed AS soon
as she could gather up her forces anew.
She forded rivers, she scaled rocky pass
es, she waded through morasses, and
finally arrived, just alive, to find rhe
husband better. But the exposure
and exertion killed her. She was seized
with pneumonia and died within brief
space in her husbands arms. The shock
killed Kit Carson, the rugged miner.
He broke blood vessel, and both are
buried in one grave.

Artificial Diamonds.

great deal has been said lately OF
tbe discovery of a method OF making
diamonds. At first the discovery was
denied, and lastly it was declared true,
that something that behaved like Il
diamond had really been made. 1t was
a pure crystal it would cut sapphire !;
il split like diamond; and burned like
diamond.
The chemist who has succeeded in
making these diamonds is ]. B. Hanny,
Of Glasgow, Scotland, and his process
NAV be briefly described. A hydro.
carbon Qas-that is, gas compound OF
HYDROGEN and carbon-is forced under
enormous pressure into very strong
iron tube about four inches in diameter,
and having bore Of only one inch.
Chemicals containing nitrogen that
have a tendency to combine with the
nitrogen, and thus leave the carbon free,
are placed in the tube with the gas. I'm
der great pressure and at red heat this
is said to take place, and, on breaking
the tube open, the pure carbon is found
as minute crystals on the inside OF the
tube. :.
These crystals are the artificial dia,
monds. They are very small, but 1t
takes a long time and much labor and
money to make them, and they are OF no
value whatever as diamonds.
They are too small to be OF any use,
and if any young gentleman thinks that
when the time comes for him to buy an
engagement ring he can get an artificial
diamond cheap, the poor girl will be
dead, or married to another man, before
that day appears. ;.
This is the whole of the matter-dia-
monds can be made, but it's not worth
while to make them.

A Fossil Forest,

On the slopes of Amethyst Mountain
from two thousand to three thousand
feet above the river valley, in the Yellow
stone Park, are exposed at different
levels, at intervals through the entire
height, n series Of silicited trees, many
rooted i'll the position in which they
grew, and from twenty to thirty feet in
height. Some lying down are of great
size, the fragments measuring eighty
two feet in diameter, and comparable to
the giant SequOinS. The series Of sand
stones and conglomerates in which the
trees are imbeded are more than five
thousand feet thick. forming vertical

been formed in the trunks of the rotting
wood they are lined with crystals of

Canaries Trained to Whistles Operas.

Mr.. Jacob Wiss, trainer Of canary
birds in this city, has achieved remark
able success in getting his pupils to
whistles tunes. One songsterthat belongs
to Mrs. Townsend, of Philadelphia, a
daughter of Hon. William l.. Scott,
whistles DER Freischutz" as well as an
expert whistler. Mr.. Wiss says that it
takes two years to train bird, and de-
scribes the treatment as follows: The
bird when quite young is isolated from
all other birds and bird sounds but his
own. This little instrument is n music
box specially constructed for this pur-
pose. Two or three times day it is set
playing, but always the same air. The
young bird, hearing no other sounds, be-
gins to initiate the air; right short when
he has SING all he knows; he never at
tempts to 90 through the whole until
every note is committed To- memory. and
Is as perfect or imperfect rs the music
from the instrument Mr.. Wiss states
that he trained one to whistle God Save
the Queen" and an Englishman paid
him 500 for it. He never gets less than
$50 for trained bird. -Erie (Pa) Dis
