Following a Streak Of Wind,

A tributor of Ruby Hill was asked
how his pitch looked, and he made
the following curious remark IL am
following streak of wind" Strange
as this may appear CHE remark not the
Wind, yet it is true. 1t appears that
in sinking upon his piece Of grounl he
came upon a crack in the rock about
three inches in width, from which issues
considerable air Where il comes from
aud what the miner may strike in tol-
lowing this strange lead must for the
time remain mystery, Tho miner was
right in following his "Streak Of wind, ="
He doubtless understands that this
streak of air breathcd out Of the depths
is liable to lead him to n cave, and no
also knows that a cave Is liable to con
tain an amount Of ore that would make
his fortune, Among the old lead mines
of Galena, H., "streak Of wind" or
"breathing crcyice,' was always con-
sidered first class indication. When
u miner found that he was pretty sure
of finding a cave filled with lead ore.
The lead mines of Galena are in n lime.
stone formation that is much the same
AZ the formation about Eureka. Wind
from u crevice down in the mine il
worthy of much consideration, but
"wind" on the surface from the horizon
tai crcvice an inch or so below the
miners nose is often nothing but wind

To remove scorching from white
goods, rub well with linen rags satu-
rated with chlorine water
Raw starch, applied with n little wa
ter, rs paste, will generally remove all
stains from bed-licking.
To clean and polish tortise-shell, use
drop or two of sweet oil, and rub it
in thoroughly with the ball of the
thumb.
Burns and scalds are Immediately re-
lieved by an application of dry sodacov-
cred with wet cloth, moist enough to
dissolve it.
To clean irons use n lump of bees
wax tied in rag; rub the irons with it
when hot, and then scour with a paper
or cloth, sprinkling with salt.
A starch that will make linen look as
good as new is made of one quart Of
will-boiled corn starch, three ounces of
gum arabic and two ounces of loaf
sugar.
Silk handkerchiefs washed in clear
water with pure white CASTLE soap look
like new. Do not iron, but snap be-

then press under weight,
To cure earache, take a pinch OF
black pepper put it in piece of cotton
batting dipped in sweet oil, and place
in the ear tie II bandage around the

To remove ink stains from wood, take

and apply with n feather to the dam

ments and then rub it off quickly. If
not successful the first time, repeatuntil
the ink is entirely removed.
To clean and renew black silk, use
one quart of soft water and an old kid
glove, Boil down to one pint, and then
sponge the goods with piece Of soft
flannel and iron on the wrong side while
it is damp and the silk will be as stiff,
and glossy as new. For light-colored
silk use a white glove,

The Idaho Bachelor.
- Baltimore American

The supply of women in Idaho is not
equal to the demand of the bachelors in
that interesting Territory, and they are
clamorng for girls to come out from
the East and marry them. The New
York and New England newspapers are
considering the forlorn condition and
matrimonial longings of Idaho bache-
Tors, and not II few of them advise the
minated women of their region to Jour
ney West and bag husbands. The
blood of these injudcious editors be up
on their own heads! We fancy the ex-
perience of one of those New England
maidens who goes out to throw himself
into the arms of one of those Idaho
bachelors He is waiting for her in
front of the Cosmopolitan Hotel in
Murderers Gulch. She alights from
the stage well dressed, tidy, prim and
spectacles on nose. She has been q
school teacher for twenty odd years,
and she has education and the feelings
and tastes of a lady, her only weakness
being u too strongdesire to marry. The
bachelor stauls on the veranda of the
hotel with his hands in his trousers
pockets. He has bought a suit of store
clothes for the occasion. The wrinkles
of newneSs are prominent in every gar
ment He has visited the barber like
wise. His face is shining, and his hair,
dripping with oil, is combed and waxcd
down on his forehead and punched out
behind, His hat is cooked rakishly,
with q sort of northeast dip over one
eye, and his heavy boots shine in hol-
iday daub of mutton fat. To the adj
miring eye of the denizens of Murder
er's Gulch the bachelor is picture of
fashionable elegance. He owns a mi
ming claim, or II cattle ranch, fifty miles
from the Gulch, and once month he
rides in on horseback TO that center of
civilization to ''have n time which
means that he comes to get roaring
drunk, play faro and have II fight, not
to mention other forms of enjoyment.
As the maid from Massachusetts, alightS,
and with dainty little shake or two
frees her raiment from dust, the Ida
no bachelor squirts a gill Of tobacco
juice on the verahda, draws the back of
his horny hand across his lips, assumes
a gallant grin, and shambes forward
to meet his bride. She looks at him,
turns pale, and with difficulty suppresses
scream, and, taking his shoddy-clad
arm, totters into the hotel. The par
son is there in waiting. If she marries
the Idaho bachelor, the maid from Mas
sachusetts will, in the course of ten
years, die of hard work over the cook
inc stove and in acting rs general roust-
about in the cabin and on the ranch,
and leave behind her large family, the
boys OF which will probably be like
their father and die with their boots
ON. A more horrible fate for woman
than that of marrying an Idaho bache-
Tor, no imagination can picture.

A Dream Of Home,

Tho suns rays slant the path along,
The mir IL balnly rs In June;
The robin sings his evening song,
And through the sky the new, gray moon
Moves calmly on, untrammelcd, free,
But something whispers unto me-
mot yct!'
The brook sings as II gently flows,
The frog croaks BY the waters rim;
There IN content tho lily grows,
And there the fishes, darling, SWIM
hoar and see the old brown MILL
But an, these sad words haunt me still
mot yeti"
In clover meadows broad and fair
In drowsy mood the cows await
Tho farm boys call upon the mir,
While, with his pail, beside the gate
Which opens down the grassy lnEo,
My brother breathes these words Of pain

The steepled church. the school house near,
The wood where have rOamed at Will;
The quaint old farm house, to me dear.
My youthful home-my manhood's still
see these rs in days gone by,
But something whispers as sigh
mot YETI
Oh, Hearts, to whom there IL no May!
Who yearn 10 hear my footballs where
The path, so beaten, takes its way
Under old trees so grand and fair!
Dear Hearts, who long for me to come,
can but say ! can go home
"N0tyet!
For longer, still, your breasts must know
sadness free from all disguise,
Ere | can leave these scenes and 20
And look into fair, loving eyes,
And clasp the hands so warm, and kiss
The lips I've pressed SO oft in bliss
mot yeti"
Forgotten, but as sweet and strong
As when one dreamful Autumn day
said goodbye" and passed along
Down the old walk, and went away,
Not thinking there would come day
When should have, rs now, to say
mot yeti"
Alas, not yet! Far far from thisl
Still must wait! All can do
Is just 10 watt long, long kiss
Believed with love, oh, Hearts, to you,
And murmur these sud words once more,
Unthought of in the days of yore-
"Not yet"
