WATER AS THIRST QUENcHER.- Did you ever suffer extreme hunger or thirst?" was asked of a Kentuck y Colonel who had been relating some solid stories about himself.
 "Well," he replied, q never suf- fered what might be called extreme hunger, but no man knows how to endure the agonies of thirst better than I do.
 q remember the time well,p he retrospectively. II was on a fiSr12g, excursion and became lost in the woods For three d~ys not a drop passed my lips. NY heightened absence finally caused alarm ard a party was sent out in search of me. They found me lying in an unconscious condition on the bank of a little trout stream, and it was hours before any hopes of saving me were entertained"
 'Was the trout stream dry ?' asked one of the interested listeners.
 "Dry? Certainly not. How could I catch fish if the stream was dry!'
 "Well, I don't see how you could suffer from thirst with a stream of water close at hand"
 ''Water close at hand?" repeated the Kentucky Colonel. "Aud what has water got to do with aman being thirsty sty?"-Philadelphia Call.

A Hundred a Minute.

On Friday evening of each week the 5000 employees of the Baldwin Locomotive works receive their wages. In 30 minutes after the pay master begins his work every man has his cash. The system of keep ing the time is very simple. When man goes to work he receives no pay until the second week. This permits of five days in which to cal culate the wages of each man and place the money in envelopes. In each department there is a time keeper, who makes a return every day to the paymaster. The counting and arranging of the immense amount of money required to pay the large force IS accomplished by the paymaster ann his assistant. On the books of the company, opposite the name of every employe, is a number by winch he IS known. The figures range from one to 5000. On Friday evening the men form in line; in order of their numker, The pay master and his assistant take their place at the head of the column. Numbers 1. 2, 3, A. says the,assist- ant, as the men step up in a lively manner to receive the envelopes con- taining a weeks wages. He rapidly calls the numbers, soon running into hundreds, then into thousands, and at the end of half an hour the vast crowd of workmen has disappeared, and the paymasters labor's are done. Record.

Working Mill TaIIings.

Justin Michel has lately worked through his patent Gmalgamating pan, quantity of tailings from the Charonnat quartz mill at Canada Hill and the result obtained has been most satisfactory. Notwithstanding the appliances for saving gold at the above named mill are most complete, Mr. Michael, by his pan process, realized $2.50 per ton from the tail ings which are thrown away. The gold obtained is in very fine particles, so light as to be foated away with the sand that is washed from the mill. During amalgamation the precious stuff collects together and assumes curious shapes. A fine specimen, resembling a small bunch of delicatelY-fbered moss, has been placed in a little case and sent to Chicago parties by the proprietor of the pan in which it was saved. Mir. Michael proposes to put in couple or more pans below the Charonnat mill and work the tailings himself, if the company do not see fit to do so. He feels confident of making it pay we'll for the trouble and expense of putting in and operating the machines.-Nevada Herald.

G+gCrre D. Prentice once wrote


 George D. Prentice once wrote: "To young man away from home, friendloss and irSsIlorn in great city, the hours of peril are TS2se betYen sunset and bedtime; for the nAon and the stars see more evil in sin gle hour than the sun in his whole days circuit. The poets visions of evening are all composed of tender and soothing images. It brings the wanderer to his home, the cbild to his mothers arms, the OK to his stall and the weary laborer to his rest. But to the ntle-hearted youth who is thrown upon the rocks of a pitlless city, and stands homeless amid a thousand homes, the approach of evening brings with 1t an aching sense of loneliness and desolation which comes down upon the spirit like darkness upon the earth. In thls mood his best impulse becomes a snare to him, and he is led astray because he is soc1al, affectionate, sympathetic and warm hearted. If there be young man thus circum- stanced within the sound of my voice let me say to him that books are the friend of the friendless, and that a library is home to the homeless. A taste tor reading vii, always carry you to converse with men WEo will influence you with their wisdom anu charm you by their wit, who will soothe you when weary, counsel you when perplexed and sympathize with you at all ti mes. Evil spirits in the middle age were exercised and driven away by bell, book and candle and you want but two of these agents the book and the candle"

A NAVAL HERO.
Earragut Passing tho New
 Orleans Forts.
San Francisco Chronicle.

San Francisco Chronicle.
 The proudest name of any one in. dividual who ever held a commission in the United States navy belongs to him who won the title and rank of the First Admiral of the American Republic" David Glasgow Farra- gut was born at Campbells station, near Knoxville, Tenn, July 5, 1901. He was appointed midshipman in 1910, served in the frigate Essex on her eventful cruise in the Pacific, and at the age of 13 was placed In command of one of the numerous prizes. In the battle between the Essex and the British ships Phoebe and Cherub, Farragut was slightly wounded, receiving the commenda tion of his commander, who regret ted "that he was too young for pro motion" Farragut was thorough seaman, and the moment all hands were called and Farragut took the trumpet as First Lieutenant every man under him was alive and eager for duty.
 The breaking out of the Rebellion found Farragut a Captain, on wait ing orders, and living quietly at his adopted home-Norfolk. In com pany with other naval gentlemen he used to frequent a store where the events of the day were talked over. Farragut from the first foresaw the impending struggle, and was calIn2a

men, their patriotism stimulated by the memories of the desperate de- fense which 50 years previous had taken place on that very ground. Secure in their advantage, the rebels awaited the approach of the Yankee gunboats with smiles of contempt and anticipated triumph. Some British and French naval officers who visited the fortiiicatlons de clared that they could not be either reduced or passed by wooden ships and that the attempt would be sheer madness. Farragut replied: You may be right, but I was sent here to make the attempt. I came here to either reduce or pass the forts and to take New Orleans, and I shall try it on."
 An armor of heavy chain cables was prepared to protect the sides of the larger steam vessels. On the decks of others sand-bags were piled to prevent a raking fire. The bows of others were plated to resist the at tacks of rams and strong rope net tings were triced up over the decks to catch the spars and splinters, Small anchors and graphing hooks at yard-arms and jibboom ends were in readiness to seize the gunboats of the foe and to draw them to a close and fatal encounter.
 Attempts were made by the enc my to demoralize the fleet by huge fire rafts, swept on by the tide toward the cordon of vessels, but detach ments of men, drilled by Commodore Porter in person for the purpose rendecsd all such attacks abortive.

Ellsworth LeacIling Works.

Recently we were shown through the Ellsworth Leaching Works by Superintendent H, Harr1es, and as a description of the process will un- doubtedly interest our readers we will endeavor to set forth the manner and make plain the means by which the silver is extracted from its ores and separated from its bases.
 The ore is crushed by stamps and as fast as it IS reduced to a powder passes through a No. 12 screen and by conveyors and elevators taken to the roasting furnace, where it is chloridized to high percentage varying from 85 to 97 per cent. From the furnace the pulp is wheeled into four tanks, each of five tons capacity. Leaching operations then begin and the bases are taken out of the pulp-this generally takes from four to eight hours, according to the amount of bases contained in the pulp. The second teaching, or leach ing the silver is then proceeded with. This operation takes from eight to twenty hours, and is continued nntil by tests it is shown that the silver in the pulp is entirely exhausted. The solution, carrying the silver, runs in to eight precipitating vats below, where the silver is precipitated by another chemical solution. The pre- cipltate, sulphide of silver, is then placed in sacks similar to rmalgam sacks and allowed to drain. The sacks are pressed and the pressed sulphides of silver conveyed to a reverberatory furnace and desulphur lzed. The roasted sulphides are then melted in large crucibles and furnishes bullion from 900 to 980 fine.-Grantsville New, Bonanza.

duty, and Secretary Wellos took to himself tIe credit of discovering the true worth and latent talent of Farra- gut. He was selected by the Cabinet for promotion in order to superintend the reduction of New Orleans, and was ordered to hoist his pennant as Flag Officer on the Hartford, then just built. She arrived at the rendezvous Ship Island-on February 20th. Butler with the military force of the expedition arrived, after narrowly escaping shipwreck, on March 25. Farragut was now ready for action. He said: II have now attained what I have been looking for all my life fag-and having attained ;t, all that is necessary to complete the scene is a victory" The passage of the forts Jackson and St. Philips was a great achievement Tn naval warfare, at a time when the theory of the su- periority of forts over ships was everywhere asserted.
 BEFORE THE CITY OF NEW ORLEANS.
 On the occasion of the illumina ton of the city of New Orleans in honor of secession the stars and stripes were cheered by the passing crowd at the St. Charles, when waved from the darkened windows of the patriotic wife of Northern sea cap tain. She refused every entreatY of the proprieters to permit her apart ments to be illuminated in honor of treason. On the 18th of April the fleet was in motion. About sixty miles below New Orleans, on either side ot a sharp bend, stood Forts Jackson and Philip. The current of the Mississippi is at that point very swift, the channel narrow, and the navigation, even for powerful steam CTS, difficult. One hundred and eighty pieces of ordnance of immense caliber, thoroughly protected by bat dement's, reared upon the most ap- proved principles of modern military science, barred the advance of Far ragut's wooden fleet. Across the river an iron cable had been stretched, supported by seven old hulks, an chored in the stream. The sections of the chain were secured to the moorings and buoyed up between them by several rafts. To guard the obstruction large gunboat was an- chored above it. Above the boom and the forts was fleet of eighteen 1ronclad gunboats, steam rams, float ing batteries, fire rafts and scows, containing conclusions of all kinds. Among the ironclads was the forlnid- able ram Manassas and the ironclad battery Louisiana, armed with six teen heavy guns and manned by 200 men. The rebel navy consisted of over 1000 men and thirty-nine rifed eleven-inch guns. Behind their in trenchments were stationed 1900
