Cured of Drinking.

"A young friend of mine was
cured of an Unsuitable thirst for liz
uor, which had so Frustrated him
that he was unable to do any bust
ness. He was entirely cured by the
use OF Hop Bitters. 1t allayed all
that burning thirst; 1t took away
the appetite for liquor; made his
nerves steady, and he has remained
a sober and steady man for more
thsn two years, and has no desire to
return to his cups. l know Of a

EsTHETIC HOUSEKEEPING.
How q Graduate Of VasSar Went to
Market one Morning.

She was graduate of Vassar, and
when she married julius Augustus
Smythe, was very much like anoth.
or lady who has been embalmed in
song
Miss PaIlas Andora voa Blurky
Who didn't know chicken from turkey;
High Spanish and Greek could huently
speak,
But her knowledge Of poultry was murky.
However, she told Julius Angus
tus that she was a good housekeep-
or because her mother and grand
mot her were, and it ran in the tam
ily. so on the strength Of this he
went to housekeeping. She bought
q sweet little morrocco.c note
book and an embroidered market
basket, and carried q gold pencil,
wore an aesthetic morning costume,
and appeared like vision of delight
before the magnates of the cleavsr
at the Central Market.
80 the deer, sweet, cunning little
pigs" she exclaimed, stopping at an
aIdermaniac stand where several lit.
tie roasters were on exhibition. "I'Il
take Q couple of those; how much
are they pair?"
"Fiys dollars for two,' was the re-
alistic answer.
"Isn't that rather high? I guess
l'll take q yard of beefsteak and a
pound of chewing gum instead, and
some-O yes!-sOme sweetbreads.
Julius said he wanted some; nice
fresh ones, please, with plenty OF
rasius In Them"
Then she sailed over to poultry
stand:
"Have you any chickings3" she
asked of the woman in attendance,
"Heaps Of 'em," was the reply.
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1881-08-20

/ show much do they cost heap?'
she asked in rather faint voice.
"Half q dollar q piece, men,"
swell, send up piece to my resi-
! dence," and she turned to the next
stall, and picked up some little pack.
ages that looked very nice. "W hat
is this sweet stuff that smells so
lovsly2" she asked of a red headed
boy behind the table.
"Limburger, miss, and its just
splendid; tastes ever so much better
than it smells-have one?"
She took one, and then she asked
the boy where they sold their quail
on toast.
"Ain't any in the Market" ans
wered the young reprobate. "Moth-
er's gone after q load, though, and
we'll send you some as soon as
they're H."
"Whst are those lovely navy-blue
berrIes?" she inquired. "They will
just match my china. You may
send me q bushel."
Finally she decided to try q quart
which she carried herself in the ar
tistic basket.
"Hsve you any hen. fruitf" she
asked sweetly of an old fellow in a
white apron.
He scratched his ear with his PEN
Gil for q moment: "Mebbe you
mean h'eggs," he volunteered.
These she also took charge of, as
she wanted to make an omelet for
Julius Augustus.
But she never did, or rather. when
she got home the omelet was made
with a liberal admixture of blue
! berries, and the front of her aesthetic
dress was ruined. Added to it was
an odor that sent julius into spasms
and frightened the cat to death; the
limburger had melted.
The Vassar girl did justice to high
| Spanish and Greek in the explana-
ton that ensued, and the next day
they burned the morocco note book
and went to boarding.

js known TO assayers as the "scori-

of clay drainage pipe might be util-

pipes may be picked up anywhere
In our mountains, should not be lost

TIE contest between Japsne'

-THE contest between Japanese
progress and Chinese retrogression is
noticeable. The Chinese govern
ment has taken its clever boys out of
American schools and modern intiu'
ences, for fear of their learning too
much. The Japanese authorities
want to have their people learn all
they can. Within five years q wo-
mans college, copied from Vassar,
has been established, and brought
into the midst of a good work. The
fact speaks g volume. Japanese pro-
gress, moreover, beats that OF Amer
lea out of sight in some respects.
For instance, a special commissioner
has been sent to Milan to investigate
cremation, with view to a general
introduction of the system in the
Orient. Not even the United States
has got as far as that.

making use of the Information given
by the Scientific American, to pur-
chase Kerl or Mitchell and study
up the details of the specification
assay, in order that they may be
able to carry on the work with some
little accuracy. If the prospector
purchases the ore, and fine balances,
and other appertinances recommend
ed BY the Scientific American, why
would it not be just about as easy for
him to add muffie and some CRUZ
cibles to his kit, and make a regu-
lar and by far more accurate assay.
What the prospector really wants is
a simple test by which to determine
the presence of the precious metals.
As far as silver is concerned bottle
Of nitric acid, in the absence of lead,
is the only requisite. A portion OF
the ore pulverized and heated with
nitric acid will bring tie silver IN
solution, from which few grains of
common salt will precipitate it as
chloride. The presence of chloride
of lead oan be detected by adding
ammonia to the precipitate. which
will readily dissolve the silver. Chic
ride of tin gives characteristic re-
action with gold in solution; beau
tiful purple known as Cassius purple.
The prospector having by some
such method determined the presence
of the precious metals, can by ex-
perience form some approximate es-
innate of the quantities contained
by the intensity of the reaction
and then abide his time for having
accurate assays made of his ore.
