"Have you any cow hair to sellP" a
wandering buyer asked a tanner in the
presence of a reporter for the Now
York Mail and Erpress, q few days
ago. The tanner did have some of the
curious commodity asked for, and sub
mitted it to the would-be buyers
scrutiny. The latter critically ex-
amined the lot and offered the owner 4
cents q pound for it.
Wondering what use cow hair could
be put to. the reporter sought to salts
fy his curiosity by questioning the
buyer. "What do l do with it?" re-
piled tho individual. "Pll tell you. l
first blow the hair by peculiar
process which separates the long hairs
from the short ones. The long hairs
are then woven into fabrics with other
material which, upon completion. be-
comes the genuine all-wool blankets

"They are worked into telling"
..Do you ever pay more than cents
a pound for the hair?"
"Oh, yes. White cows hair is worth
II cents a pound"

The Contasion Of Scarlet Fever.

In 1862 case occurred in q New
York boarding house. As soon as the
child WAS able to be moved it was
taken auAy1And the rooms occupied
by the family were thoroughly cleansed.
In thre6sdays afterward another family
move i 70 the same apartments, and
in two days q, child belonging to the
latter was taken with the disease. DR..
Flint then related the case of Miss G..
the dauglfter OF a deceased New York
physician, who had been well-known
and highly csteemed in the community.
Having entered the Protestant sister,
hood Of st. Barnabas, she was called
upon to nurse child suffering from
scarlet fever; and after she had finish
ed her attendance on the child, she
hung up her clothing to air for several
weeks. She then gave away the waist
of the dress that she had worn, and
put the skirt away in o trunk. 1t was
in February, 1870. that she nursed the
scarlet fever patient, being in attend
ance for ten days. In January, 1871,
she wore tho skirt for the first time.
and one week afterward was herself
attacked with acute diffused nephritis
and pulmonary edema, which proved
fatal. The lesson of these cases, there
fore, was the necessity for effective dis
infection in all cases of scarlet fever

Wasted Wealth in Nevada.

During the bonanza days, when near
ly a dozen big mills ION Six-mile and
Seven-mile canyons) were rushing
through the rich ores of the Comstock,
the tailings that left the mouth of Six
mile canyon were allowed to run
to waste, and spread abroad on the
desert to the northward of the town
of Sutro. Six-mile canyon was then
filed from end to end with blanket
sluices and all kinds of sulphuret CATCH
ing traps. 1t was thought that when
the tailings left the mouth of the canyon
they contained so little valuable materi-
al that it would not pay. to catch them
up in reservoir. but the blanket sluices
caught only the sulphurets and other
heavy matter. They did not get the
chloride; that went out with the slums.
For some years past men have been
delving for this wealth lying scattered
upon the deserts sands, and they are
still gathering 1t in. In the places
where there are now mining" for
this material, 1t does not show on the
surface. The shifting sands Of the
desert have hidden it, and 1t il
overgrown with sagebrush and grease
wood. The deposit must be prospected
for, but when found pay well for the
work of collecting. = NrginiG City

How Watch Cases are Made.

Most persons have an ambition to carry
a gold watch case, and yet few people know
how a watch case is made, or the vast diff
ference in Inequality of them. Ina SOLID
GOLD WATCH CASE, aside from the neces-
sary thickness for engraving and polishing,
a large proportion of the metal is needed
only to stiffen and hold the engraved por-
tions in place, and supply strength. The
surplus is not only needless, but undesira-
bic, because gold is n soft metal and cannot
furnish the stiffness, strength and elasticity
necessary to make the case permanently
strong and close-ftting. The perfect watch
case must combine gold with some metal
that will supply that in which the gold is
deficient. This has been accomplished by
the james Boss Gold Watch Grse ~, ~ u,x
which saves the WASTE of need & q
less gold, and INCREASES the soLIDITY and
STRENGTH of the case, and at the same time
reduces the cost ONE HALF.

AFalse suspicion.

Pretty little Katie Wilde lives on one
Of the small streets leading off Harrison
avenue, near Dover streets, Boston.
She Is Just past 6 years of age, and
people who know her are at o loss
whether to call her witch or O fairy.
Her mother Is widow who works in q

away all day Katie runs around the

ness and then cutting up mad pranks
over which she will laugh and shout
until she is fairly tired out One cold.
foggy evening. just at the hour of
nightfall when daylight and darkness
hung over the city in alternate bands of
gray and brown, and neither seemed
willing to yield to the other, she came
tripping up Washington street. her
little red feet going patter, patter, on
the cold pavement, SO fast that, to
count her footballs, 1t would seem at
least as il dozen children were CON-
ing. Under her thin. gray waist she
carried a brown paper parcel, to which
she would glance anxiously as she ran,
to the great risk of going plump against
some sedate old traveller who was too
slow to get out of her way. When she
got beyond Kreeland street she turned
up to an open window of fancy goods
store, and, hastily shaking her head
to scatter the masses of curly brown
hair from her line of vision, she shaded
her eyes with her hand and looked in
among the customers for minute. It
was but minute, aud then she was away
like the wind. In running she dropped
her parcel and, going back to pick It up,
a policeman had her by the sho ulder.
':Now I've caught you." said he,
sternly. what did you do that fora"
':Do what sira" was the reply. turn
ing up her large black eyes to him and
looking like some wild animal Just

please let me go home"

In that store" pointing to the store
she had just left. ''She is 80 years old
to-day. and Ralph gave me twenty-five
cents that he had earned selling papers,
and have just bought her birthday
present. i see her putting on her
shawl now. Please let me 90, sir;
want to get home before her and have
the lamp lighted and my picture on
the table beside 1t when she comes"
The policeman looked at the wrapper.
1t bore the name Of firm ON fremont
street. Inside was bright chrome
representing two children browning q
woman with wreath of amaranth, and
underneath was printed. ''Our very
dear mother.
"Here. sis, take it and skip" said
the kind officer. '.You are right and
l am wrong. But could have sworn
two minutes ago that l saw you grab it
out of that store window"
Katie was out of hearing long before
he finished his speech, and when her
mother came along walking very fast,
q minute later. he had half a mind to
go up to her and apologize for the in
justice he had. done her child.
