RetardinsOid Age.

The most rational treatment with D
view to retard old age is, in the first
place, to endeavor as far as possible to
counteract the excessive action of at
mospheric oxygen; secondly to retard
the deposit of ossific matter and as far
as possible to dissolve partially formed
calcareous concretions. Distilled water
and diluted phosphoric acid are belleV-
ed by Mr.. de Lacy Evans to have the
desired effect. When considering their
special action we cannot but fully COIN
eide with him as to their efficacy In re-
tarding old age by their combined
chemical action. Now distilled water
alone has powerful action owing to
its solvent properties, thereby dissolv-
ing and excreting the excess OF earthly
salts which otherwise would become
blocked up in the system, gradually
storing up these blockages which in
time cause old age. The solvent prop
critics of distilled water are so great
per Sc that on distillation in vessels it
actually dissolves small particles of
them. Now the generality of waters
contain more or less carbonate of lime,
and are to be avoided, especially those
from chalky soils, tending, as they do,
to produce calcareous deposits. The
action of distilled water as a beverage
is briefly as follows: First, its absorp-
ton into the blood is rapid; second, it
keeps soluble those salts already exist
ing in the blood, thereby preventing
their undue deposit; third. itfacilitates
in marked degree their elimination
by means of excretion. After middle
life daily use of distilled water is
highly beneficial TO those desirous OF
retarding old age.

During the trial of a civil suit,
brought before a rural justice of the
peace, noticing that the Judge" was
treading on the recent discussions of
the supreme court, 4 lawyer called his
attention to the disregard of higher au-
thority.
Your honor" said the lawyer,
''your ruling is in error. for in the case
of Higgie VS.. Stackwell, recently de-
cided by the supreme court"
.'Hold on, sir. The case of Higgie
VS.. Stackwell was originally brought
before me and an appeal was taken to
the circuit court, from which tribunal
it was carried TO the supreme court.
Now, l want to say right here that I've
got rs little respect for the supreme
courts opinion as that grave body of
men have for mine. They have Alright
to control thier own court, but pll be
blamed if they shall control mine.
Proceed with the arguments, gentle
men. ."-ATEdnSdlO 1rdUeLer.

Flowers i'm Paris,

''Where do all the white lilacs come
FRONT" ! asked the nice old woman at
the Madeleine flower market who has
the contract to keep my vases filled
throughout the winter. II suppose
you receive them from Nice or some
other southern point"
mot at all, monsieur" was her re-
ply. "All these pretty flowers grow
inside of Paris, where certain garden
ers make a specially of having lilacs in
bloom all the year round. The trade
is new one, as it is only four years
ago that the way of doing so was dis
covered. The heat of the sun is re-
placed by that of the greenhouse, and
the plant, deceived by this fictitious
temperature, blossoms forth in Decem-
ber just as though it was the month of
May"
Then | learned that the gardeners
who devote themselves to this branch
of the trade are called ctduteurs de Hlas
(warmers of lilacs), and that there are
only five of them in Paris, two at Mon
trogue and the others in the Quarter
St Fargeau. 1t is generally the Marty
lilacs that are made use of. The plants
are subjected to temperature of 40
degrees centigrade day and night and
in a fortnight are in flower, but strange
to say, the plant will only give white
flowers under this process. Naturally
they are of a rich purple color. The
Persian lilac is the only one that does
not lose its color when thus forced to
go contrary TO the laws of nature.
Another strange fact is that the hot
house lilacs are handsomer and more
fragrant than those which bloom in the
open air. The reason is that the gar
dcncrs are careful to destroy all the
leaf buds, SO that the whole sap of the
plant flows to the flower buds.
The plants do not die from the vio-
lcnce of the process. but they are SO
seriously damaged that it takes them
years to regain their strength that they
have lost-years which must of course
be spent in the open air and i'll ordin-
ary soil-but their flowers are forever
after white, the. coloring principle
seemingly having been destroyed for
ever. In point of fact, however, the
chaufeurs de tilaS do not take the trou-
BILE to replant the poor bushes that have
suffered SO much. Three years is far
too long to wait for profitable return,
SO the plants when stripped of their
flowers, are rooted up and cast to one
side, and when dry are made use of as
kinding wood The five chauf; urS dc
Litds in Paris consume in this way some
thing like 5000 plants II year, which
cost them one franc each at the nursery
gardens. The flowers they produce
yield them 1000, 600 francs. One-half
of the crop goes to foreign countries
and the other half is sold here ut the
central markets, where the small deal
ers lay in their stock every day.-Paris

Rathdrum, the Idaho town which
has sprung into most Importance since
last fall, will be the natural point of
departure from the railroad 20 the
mines, though it is most deplorably
dull Just now, and it will take a revi-
val of the excitement to bring it back
to the condition upon which it came in
10 being and blaZed with saloons, lodg-
ing-houses, gamblers and pack trains.
When it began to be known as the
nearest railroad point on the way by
lake and river. lot of fellows moved
over from Bozeman and other Montana
towns. They came. bag, baggage, bot
tie, mistress, and fiddler. and things
hummed for awhile. l was there and
saw somewhat of it at its flood tide
when the last sound before droppingto
sleep at night was the click of chips
and the first step out of doors in the
morning landed ones foot on q dis
carded queen or jack. Then it was
snowy and lively; ten days ago it was
muddy and dull, and so it is now. The
stages run regularly from Rathdrum to
Ceur d Alene City, the boad-landing,
but it was my good fortune to meet
Maj. Candy, of the garrison, and ride
with him in Il comfortable ambulance.
1t is matter of an hour and half
from Rathdrum to the fort, and here
may be found two separate and dis
tinct phases of life-lhe former army
post and new town adjoining, which
has grown in three months, feed on the
distending but unhealthy nourishment
of mining excitement. The garri-
son, under command of Gen. Wheaton,
is occupied by five companies, and with
the officers and their families, the sol
dicrs, the school, and the little theater.
it is beauty spot, where one full of
talk of the outside world is more than
welcome to blazing fires, good beds,
and a premium table. On the other
hand, the new town is a tumble of
rougl.EIouSeS and tents. 1t was the
good fortune of one Tony Tubbs to be
upon the land where this new city now
stands. Tony had been a waiter on
steamboats, and had been cuffed about
the world good bit for something like
thirty-tive years before he blundered
into this piece of good luck and was
enabled TO wear large seals on his
watch-chain and suit of nigger-min-
strcl vclvctcen, but he has arrived there
now and he enjoys it. He has a hotel
that is making money, and red. white
and blue bar-room, where he can sit
and gamble the money away at stud
horse poker. If he sits near enough to
the dealer he may get back a percent
age.-Cor. San Francisco Chronicle.

Had Something Left.

Two or three years ago one of the
appropriations in the river and harbor
bill was the sum of $4,000 for i'm
proving Goose Creek, Habana. The
government engineer for that district
succeeded in finding the said creek the
other day, after search of tWenty-six
months. He found rivulet three
miles long. six inches deep, and three
feet wide, and ON the banks he found
solitary settler.
''The government has appropriated
$4,000 to improve this creek" OBJ
served the engineer.
81 know it, and I've been waiting, "
was the reply.
81 don't see what improvement is
needed or can be made"
''Reckon not, being as you are a
stranger, but this ere cash was appro-
priated to shovel down this ere bank
SO that my old mule could git down 10
water without breaking his Internal
back"
The improvement of Goose Creek
was made at a cost of So, and the en-
gineer will either have to turn the cur
rent up stream or send the rest of the
appropriation back to the Treasury.

Flamley's Fashionable Wife.

Mrs. Flamley attempts to be fashion
able. The other night when she dress
ed preparatory 10 attending the theater
she appeared with silver spoon on her
breast.
Margaret, what in the world do you
call that?" asked her husband.
''This was my grandmother sauce
spoon. You know that it is fashionable
now TO wear old family plate"
Flamley said nothing more, for he
knew that it was unnecessary to argue
with his wife. The next night he ask
ed his wife to attend the theater with
him, and again she put on her spoon.
After awhile Flamley came out with
an enormous butcher knife on his shirt
front.
''My gracious, Henry, what is that?"
''That was my grandfather's butch
er-kniie. It's fashionable now to wear
''
'1'll take off the spoon"
'All right. Off goes the knife. -

The nitro-glycerine bomb is a recent
addition to destructive projectiles, its
serviceablencss in reducing entrench-
ments being, it is claimed, unequalled.
In it's construction heavy conical
shell is first cast, and SO arranged that
one end is much heavier than the other,
one end being closed with Il tightly
fitting cap, screwed on after charging.
The interior of the shell is divided into
three compartments, each separated
by heavy plate-glass cap; the divis-
ion furthest from the open end is filled
with sulphuric acid, and the next with
glycerine, and the outer one with nit
ric acid-these three elements being
the component parts of nitro-glycerine.
A small opening through the center OF
the cap fitting the open end OF the
proiectile admits steel rod. to each
end of which is firmly attached small
circular piece of metal. the inner end
resting against the first glass cap; the
outer cap is then screwed on; and the
projectile is ready for service. Accord
ing to the principle of gravitation, the
heavy end naturally strikes the ground
first, the steel rod is driven through
the plate-glass partitions, the chem
icais are mingled, and nitro lycerine
discharge takes place. ..

Explorer Stanley is thus photo
graphed by y traveller who recently en-
countcred him on the Congo: "Here
he was, seated on his camp-chair, his
pipe in his mouth and semi-circle of
grinning king,ets squatting in front of
him, some of them smoking long
stemmcd, little-bowled pipes in COM
placent silence, and others putting
many questions as 10 his recent journey
to Europe, and receiving his replies
with expressions of incredulous won
der, tapping their open mouths with
their hands. Stanley sat benignly
chatting and smoking, his face lighting
up with amusement at their naive re-
marks, while the bearing of his head
still retained that somewhat proud ear
riage which inspired these African
chieftains with real respect for his
wishes and desire to retain his friend
shin"

CGUR D ALENE MINING DIs'T.,
Shoshono Co., Dec. Is, 1883.
Ed. TELLER:-The TELLER has not
come here yet. There is no mining be-
ing done now, for the cold freezing wealth
er and the beautiful snow has come and
stays, still miners are busy running up
bitches and drains and saving lumber for
sluices aud generally fixing for next saa-
sons work, and don't you forget it, you
will hear golden report from here for
q fact. Arm strong patent upright saw
mill is the only kind in use here now,
and We have fully tested it as our aches
can tell, it is old reliable, but lacks good
solid motive power to drive it. Lumber
is worth $3.50 per m. and full market
for enterprising saw mill men. We had
miners meeting last week to settle some
partnership differences, it was amicably
adjusted aud no costs attached. The trail
is now open and pack trains are still COM
ing into camp, Is cents per pound freight,
for 40 miles, how is that for Benson and
Grostein? Boats on the river ars alss
making trips and bringing in supplies.
This is not very fne agricultural
country, but they do raise some fine spec
linens, such as -four $40 per barrel, pota.
toes 20 cents per pound, cabbage 20 cents,
onions 30 cents per pound. Can you
beat that for raising vegetables? If SO pass
the hat. There are about $50 men who
will winter here aud one woman in camp.
Jumping claims is being done quite lively
at present and has been all the fall, so
far the Jumpers are the masters Of the
situation. Claims are being looked after
pretty sharp; no civil suits has been had
or any proceedings looking that way that
have heard of. The sheriff of KootnAi
county was in camp not long ago, so Mr..
Campbell informed me. Kootnai county
officials collect license here, where are the
officials of Sheshone county? Wake them
up. This camp is in Shoshone county
without doubt. There will be quite
revenue here, from all sources, next sea
son. Don't forget it We will poll 1000
votes next election, regardless of the
Parsons infamous Registry Law of 80
cents to vote. From a man just in /
learn that Lewiston had blaze, China
town is gone and some Of the old boys
will haye to go down in their pocket to
build up again; make the city useful and
also ornamental by building good build
ings. Regards to all.
