4 Snow-Slide in August.

During tie past summer j. W. Nor
rim and e. l.. Berg have been working
the Moonlight Claim, which is situated
on Mount Sheriden, above timber line,
and just south of the Grand View Lode.
In consequence of the hard work that
would be attendant on bringing suffi.
Gent timber to the claim to build a
cabin, the men have dwelt in tent.
The recent severe weather cautioned
them to depart, and yesterday morn
ing the fierce wind tore down their
canvas shelter entirely. This confirm ed
the inmates that it was time to leave,
and shortly before II o'clock they had
completed storing away their tools, and
were ready for start. The snow was
lying on the bare, steep side of the
mountain sixteen inches deep, and the
surface was crusted by the rains of the
previous day The men started down a
precipitous path, but they had hardly
gone ninety feet when suddenly great
body of snow let go its hold Of terra
firma and hurled the travellers in the
binding mass. BY some unknown
means Berg was stopped just on the
brink of precipice, while his partner,
Norm, was dashed over the edge and
fell down an almost perpendicular
height of forty feet Both of the men
were knocked senseless, but Berg, be-
ing the first to recover, instituted a
search for his comrade. The latter
was completely covered up, but his
friend soon found him and restored nim
to consciousness. Morrin was unable
to walk further, however, as in the fall
he had broken his leg. Making the
unfortunate man as comfortable as pos
sible, Berg FASTENED to some friends,
and, after little delay, returned with
aid. Morrin was placed on q hand
sled and brought down to timber line,
where he was placed ia a wagon and
brought to this city.-LeaduiAe Herold.

UNMARRIED WOMEN.
The Rev. DIR. Lands Explains why
There Are so Many OF Them

New York letter; "What is the
cause of so many old maids?" Ac-
cording to DR.. S. NJ. lands, who dis.
cussed the question at the scientific
church, the trouble is not with the
heart, but with the stomach. Half
the race dies in infancy said Dr.
Lands, ''and the other hall grows up
licentlous, avaracious, unhealthy
Beasts observe the law of their being
and grow up to perfect beasthood.
Man neglects the laws OF his being,
even when he learns them. Every
Woman should have good husband
and every man good wife; but men
and women will never be properly
mated until different system of edu-
eating children prevails. You teach
your children from books. You cram
learning and religion into their heads,
but they Learn nothing about them
selves, their origin and development.
This is mechanical age. We have
any amount of contrivances for saving
labor and annihilating time. But we
do not teach ourselves self control. We
are governed by our passions and our
appetites. That's the reason there are
so many old maids. They don't look
after their physical health. They are
punv, scrawny, sickly and ill-developed,
yet they wonder why men don't marry
them! They wear diamonds in their
ears, they calcimine their faces, and
they remedy their defects of figure
with horse-hair, and then they try to
get husbands | tell you until women
learn to regard the laws of bodily
health, which are the laws of God,
they can never hope to yield that
tahsmanic influence over the opposite
sex, which is more gigantic than the
power of diamonds and rouge.
Another reason for the number of
old maids Is the prevalent notion that
every girl should marry rich instead of
choosing man who is healthy in body
and mind, whose wants are simple and
easily provided for. Ministers teach us
what we should believe only. They
don't LAY anything about physiological
laws, and | hold them responsible for
all the crimes committed. Marrying

Eerani,lms for Winter.

A correspondent Of the Americaa
Rural Home writing on this subject,
says: almost oil plants, to have them
do well in winter, must have specia
treatment during the summer months.
Not all the varieties are good winter
boomers, but some kinds are to be
specially recon mended for that pur,
pose. Plants lifted from the garden
which have grown to "A considerable
size will disappoint you by taking n
long time to recover from the effects OF
lifting, if they do at all. II is better to
take young plants this month. Then
we nave blossoms in November and all
during the winter, until time to turn
them out in the garden in the spring for
summer blooming. You want young,
healthy plants to begin with, which set
ia pots Of a small size, say two or
three inches, shift occasionally, bat al
ways use the next size, never making
large shifts. This course may make g.
little trouble for drying out where there
is no greenhouse for the small pots,
but q shallow box TO set them iuto with
moss or sand packed around them and
kept damp will prevent this trouble,
The effect Of the foregoing treatment
is to obtain stocky plants and to pre-
vent premature blooming. Good win.

The Earthquake and Storm i'm the
Tropics.
New York Herald.

The disastrous earthquake of the 9TH
inst, in the Panama Isthmus is notable
as occurring during passage of a hur-
ricane over the Caribbean sea. The
physical connection between the two
phenomena has never been clearly es-
tablished, and chronological records
seem to show that such a connection
exists. The earthquake data for the
long period between the beginning of
the Christian era and 1912, collected
by Mallet, led him to conclude that a
distinct minimum of earthquake oc.
ours rather before autumnal equinox"
though it is held by other investi-
gators that both the solstitial
and eouinoctial seasons are "criti-
cal periods in which they may be
looked jor. There can be no question
however, that "within the tropics" as
Professor GuyOt has noted, earth
quakes are most frequent in that part
of the year in which the greatest
amount of atmospheric disturbance
takes place" Although the storm of
Thursday last could mott IN be located
in the tropics Its existence and force
seem to have been announced by the
occurrence ofthe isthmian earthquake.
If is impossible, as almost all great
earthquakes originate in the ocean bed
far from land, that the recent disturb
ance was initiated in the Pacific, whose
vast rim rests upon volcanic formation.
This disturbance in the Panama
lsthmus does not augur we'll for the
stability and security of canal built
on a narrow strip of land, only As
miles wide, and lying between two vast
volcanic regions. In the region lying
between the Santa Fee de Bogota and
the banks of the Magdalena, about $50
miles southeast Of Panama, the tire
mendous crevice of Icononzo. which,
according to Humboldt, was probably
formed by an earthquake, attcsts the
instability of the earth's crust in the
Andean Cordilleras forming the low
mountains of the Panama lsthmus.
The catalogues Of seismic commissions
show, however, very few serious dis
turhances in the isthmus proper with
in the last two centuries, though the
records are probably incomplete.

The Parasites in Sugar.

While in perfectly graduated sugar,
and in other grades of dry crystal sugar
no parasitic life is found, these sugar
mites are often actively present in all
brown or moist sugars: especially in
the lower "cra wiley" grades; in fact
this motion is the result of the cOntiL-
ned moving of the masses of these
mites Ia such sugar. That these are
more injurious to health than the
mites j. some cheese is not proven
but some cheese does not contain
mites, and neither does some sugar.
Hence give both wide berth.
Many persons suppose that brown
sugar is sweeter than refined sugar.
This, however, is not the fact 1t is
not so sweet. The sensation il only
apparent from the fact that semi,hquid
sugar or glucose contained in the brown
sugar melts more easily on the tongue
than the crystal sugar, on the same
principle that piece OF soft candy
melts more easily than does rock can
dy, and more readily gives the ser5a-
ton OF sweetness. We do not believe
with an amateur microscopic, who
thought the sensation of sweetness
came from the struggles of the little
living creatures on the tongue. On
the contrary the sen sation is ust as
perfect in newly made sugar as IN old,
and more so with molasses than with
sugar
What are these little sugar mites
like? You must look through micro
scope to find out. They may also be
found in the poorer qualities Of figs,
raisin5 and other moist dried sweet
fruits, 80 the field for examination is
rather large.
What these insects look like under
the microscope, DIR. VIM. Young tells
in the Medical Tribune. He examined
them under microscope of 400 di-
ameters, and states as follows;
The intensity of horror that cam e
over me as | viewed the ugly looking
creatures, and observed the fearful
battle that was going on in the few
grains of sugar which lay before me,
was anything but soothing to my nerves.
II was such sight as no one could
conceive, who has not had an oppor-
tunity OF observing what | will make
an effort to describe. | have seen
dozens, | am sure, Of the most horid-
looking insects, in less than twenty
grains of sugar, which appeared under
the power mentioned as large rs
feas, and somewhat resembling lob
sters: Their legs CT arms were pro-
yided with four joints each, with
pinchers 1T the end, md covered with
short shining hair. Their heads were
encased Sithin a ring of ten or twelve
spear-liks tnntacula, from the end of
their nose or what appeared to be
their nose, came twelve to fifteen
long, worm-like feelers, which they
kept in continuous motion, for the pur-
pose lit seemed to me- to ward of

And from their hinder-parts were pre-

stations whose Names Appear In
Egyptian war Dispatches

The first station which IL reached on
the lsmalia and Cairo line is Nefiche
two and n half miles,. Here the fresh
water canal divides, one branch going
TO Ismalla the other passing through
two locks, following the line Of the
Suez canal down TO Suez. After leav-
ing Netiche the line pursues the fresh
water canal, passing by El-Magbar,
and reaches Lake Mausmeh, which is
used as "A reservoir foI the canal. Four
teen miles from Nefche ia Mausamieh,
where there is "a station and irrigating
sluices in the canal. The next station
is Tel.el- Kebir, and 1T will be remem-
bered that here it has been report
ed that Arab has thrown up entrench-
ments. The village Of Tel.el- * ebir is
some little distance rom the line, and
it is reached by means of drawbridge
which crosses the canal Mt kishlak.
Five miles across the desert, in n north
westerly direction, is the Own Of FL
karaim.
Tel el-Kebi is situated in luxuri-
antly fertile district called the Ell
Wady. At distance of eight miles
from Tel-el- X ebir the sweet water canal
divides at a place called ElAbass ell
Sugra. One branch of il continues
along the line Of rail TO Xlgazig, the
others travels in southwesterly direc.
ton to Beliefs, which is about ten miles
distant, and whore the Iine, after it has
made the detour by Iagazig, is met
again, Following the line Of railway
three miles from the division Of the
canal, the station Of Adder. Hamed is
reached, after which the country il ex-
tremely fertile. Passing over two low
irrigation canals AT u distance Of ten
miles, we come to Iagazig, an impor-
tant town with population Of some
3S 900 souls, among which were many
Europeans Seven miles from here is

The Potato and other fangi.

At a recent meeting Of the Connecti-
cut board of agriculture, DR.. B. ID. Hal
stead gave an address on fungi. Ofthe
potato rot, he says: 1t is the wsfk of a
fungus plant which first makes it's APP
I earance III the form of white or
trost-like appearance on the underside
of some of the leaves spreading thence
over the plants till ii destroys both
vines and tuberS. 1t was first known
in the years 1912 to 1917, botn in Ire
land and in the United States, and
caused very great loss to planters in
this country, and great famine abroad.
1t is usually noticed between the first
and middle of August, and always in
damp or rainy weather. The disease
attacking the leaves first, the crop
may be saved by harvesting just as
soon as the frosty appearance Of Is,
the leaves are seen.
The potatoes should be put in a cool,
dry place to prevent the further growth
OF fungi. Planting early varieties,
which ripel in July, is n pretty sure
preventive, as the disease is confined
in It's attack chiefly to growing vines
1t is well, however, to burn or other
wise destroy I'll affected vines and
tubers TO prevent the spread of the
fungus. Attempts have been made to
produce potatoes which shall be proof
against the disease. but thus far with
indifferent success, for though certain
varieties may for awhile appear to be
disease proof, yet they succumb after
a few years growth in localities where
the rot exists. The English farmers
think they have learned to avoid the
rot, by planting pure, clean seed in
new land, and by manuring in the au-
tumn and adding potash salts in the
spring. But such precautions are not
sure preventives in the country.
Following the lecture was a lengthy
discussion on the subject Of smuts and
rusts, by members of the convention
and facts We're brought out that show
that yet great deal is to be learned con
corning this class of diseases among the
vegetables products of our farms and
gardens.
Professor Brewer said that it has been
recommended To soak seed corn in Il
solution of ulphate of copper to de
stroy the smut spores, but he had heard
OF no case where such trial had work ed
favorably. he had also noticed that
moist climates were not always more
subject to smut than dry countries. Cal
ornia has remarkably dry climate all
through the growing season the wheat
plant, and yet California farmers, more
than most others, are obliged to soak
their seed wheat to kill spores. Over
the older settled portion of the United
States these fungus plants are increas,
ing yearly. j. has been hoped that
varieties of grain would be found 81
produced which would prove rust-p proc
but there is little prospect of finding
such a variety, for it is quite likely tha
the rust plant will, after few years
adapt itself to the new grain.
