Nothing injures mining commun- ity more than to have mine owners misrepresent their property and claim more for 1t than it is actually worth, How many of the mines in this eoun ty will actually assay what their owners claim they do? And yet this very thing is being done right now and has been for years past and is one cause of so many of our mlnes lying idle at the present time. If there was anything to be gained by such misrepresentation there might be some excuse for it. but there Is not, because 1t works an injury not only to the particular property so misrspresented, but to the whole county. We know that it is a very common failing among many miners to claim that their ore is worth three or four times its real value, but what do they gain by it? They certainly fool nobody but themselves. People do not buy mines nowadays without having careful assays of the ore made hrst. and if the assays come up to what IS clalmed for it, they think tavorably of the property and may belnduced to invest. their money in it, but If they do not, then they have no use for the property. Our mines are certainly large enough and our ores rich enough to let them stand on their own merits. We say to the miners of this county, if your ore is worth fifty dollars ton, say so, and don't say one hundred and fifty, for you will fool no one but yourselves by 80 doing; and besides that, fifty dollar orc is good enough of itself. Large veins of loE grade ore will hereafter find a TeaAisF sale than small veins of rich ore, unless We ars very much mistaken.

An Ancient Manuscript Of DeuterOn.
Omy.

A supposed Moabite manuscript OF
Deuteronomy on leather leaves, copied
700 years b. c., has been found. II
has been submitted to the scrutiny of
Doctor Genesberg and other eminent
Hebraist experts. The balance of
opinion is in favor of its genu-
ineness. The owner. Shapiro, deal
er of Jerusalem. asks the British
Museum S5,000,000 for the manuscripts.
The decalogue furnishes a good exam
pie for comparison with the received
version. The Shapiro record is as
follows:
am God, thy God. which liberated
;hee from the land of Egypt from the
house of bondage. Ye shall have no
other Gods. Yeshall not make to your
selves any craven image nor any like
aeSs that.is in Heaven above, or that is
N the earth beneath, or that is in the
waters under the earth. Ye shall not
bow down to them nor serve them.
l am God, your God, sanctify. In
six days have made the Heaven and
the earth and all that there is therein,
and rested on the seventh day. There
fore rest thou also, thou and thy cattle,
and all that thou hast.
l am God, thy God. Honor thy father
and thy mother.
am God, thy God. Thou shalt not
kill the person of thy brother.
am God, thy God. Thou shalt not
commit adultery with the wife of thy
neighbor.
am God, thy God. Thou shalt not
steal the property of thy brother.
am God, thy God. Thou shalt not
swear by my name falsely, for l visit
the iniquity of the fathers upon the
children unto the third and fourth gen.
Grafton of those who take my name in
vain.
am God, thy God. Thou shalt not
bear false witness against thy brother.
l am God, thy God. Thou shalt not
covet his wife, or his man servant, or
his maid servant, or anything that is
his.
1 am God, thy God. Thou shalt not
hate thy brother in thy heart
l am God, thy God. These ten words
God spake.

st. vituS Dance.

st. Vltus Dance (ChOrea) is charac-
terized by an irregular contraction of
the voluntary muscles. This contrac-
ton is at first confined to few muscles
on one side of the upper part of the
body, perhaps even to those of the
fingers. 1t gradually extends, until
most of the voluntary muscles of the
upper extremities, and less often those
of the lower extremities and the trunk
are affected. In rare cases, especially
i'm adults, the movements are exceed
ingly and dangerously violent. In the
less violent, they may impair speech,
render locomotion and the necessary
acts of life impossible. They may also
produce the must ludicrous grimaces
and the most grotesque gesticulations.
The appetite is apt to be poor and the
temper irritable. Sometimes the mind
is temporarily impaired. Though the
disease may occur even i'm infancy and
extreme old age, yet it is mainly con-
fined within the ages of ten and fifteen.
1t is very much more frequent in girls
than in boys. Its cause is not certain.
In most cases there has been found to
be deficiency in the red globules of
the blood. Fright, fit of anger and
other excitements have brought on an
attack. As to its duration, a medical |
writer says it varies from few weeks |
to several months. The average dura-
ton is from two to three months. In |
the vast majority of cases the termina-
hon is in recovery. In very small |
of cases it becomes chronic |
and is incurable. Relapses are apt to
occur after intervals varying from a
few months to two or three years. As |
a rule, the relapses are shorter than the
primary attacks" As to remedies, all
known causes must first be removed;
ample nutrition, daily exposure, and. if
exercise in the open air,
should be secured, and a physician
should prescribe the medicine that
should be used.-Youth'S Companion.
