How Old Sol Used TO Shine.

In 1903 and 1904 the Rhine, Loire,
and Seine ran dry. The heat in several
French provinces during the summer
of 1705 was equal to that in glass
furnace. Meat could be cooked by
merely exposing it to the sun. Not q
soul dared venture out between noon
and p. IN.
In IT'S many shops had to close.
The theaters never opened their doors
for three months. Not a drop of water
fell during six months.
In 1873 the thermometer rose to lis
degrees.
In 1879 the heat at Bologna was SO
great that great number of people
were stifed. There was not sufficient
air for the breath, and people had to
take refuge under ground.
In July, 1893, the heat became intol-
cradle. Vegetables were burned up,
and fruit dried on the trees. The fur
niture and woodwork in dwelling.
houses cracked and split up. Meal
went bad in an hour.

Blaine and HattOn.

"Let me tell you little story about
Jim Blaine and Frank Hatton," said a
passenger from Burlington. "a few
years ago Blaine was out in Iowa, max
ing speeches, and Hatton was then
Chairman of our State Committee, and
of course went along with as big man
as Blaine to the various meetings.
They were on the cars one day, going
to a country town to speak at a meet
ing, when Blaine turned to Hatton and
said:
"'At this town we're going to / be-
lieve there's man named Chris Schla-
gle, isn't there?'

him by sight
"'If you see him on the grounds,
said Blaine, point him out to me. L
used to know him down in Washington
County, Pennsylvania
after Blaine and Hatton had got
upon the stand, and while some local
orator was speaking, Hatton spoke to
Blaine and told him where Schlagle
was standing. Blaine got up and
marched straight for the man pointed
out to him.
How are you, Chris p he exclaimed,
holding out his hand. L remember
you well. You have changed very lit

How is Mrs Schlagle?'
'B-but my name amt Schlagle,
replied the astonished farmer; my
name is Schermerhorn, and Twas never
in Pennsylvania in my life.
Blaine walked back to the platform
quite discounted. Hatton said he had
made mistake, but Blaine looked at
him in queer sort of way, as if to
say, III get even with you yet. ~

The Officers Passed Them.

A year or so ago a merchant vessel
was sent to Havana to bring back to
the United States some shipwrecked
sailors. While there they obtained q
lot of cheap cigars, which they corded
up in q great pile on the deck. Over
this pile. which looked very much like
cord wood, they threw lot of old sail
cloth, and when the customs officers
asked them if they had any dutiable
goods on board they pointed to this
pile and said it contained cigars. The
customs officers thought they were be-
ing guyed, and did not look at them.

In Afghanistan, when two famil

In Afghanistan, when two families
are negotiating marriage an omen is
consulted in the following manner:
Several slips of paper are cut up, and
on the half of them is written, "To be, 4"
and on the other half mot to be.
These pieces of paper are placed under
a praying-carpet and the anxious father
devoutly raises his hands in prayer to
God for guidance, and expresses his
submission to the all-wise decree of the
Almighty in the matter of his sons or
daughters marriage. Then, putting
his hand under the carpet, he draws
out paper. If on it should be writ
ten "To be-" he thinks the marriage is
ordained of God; if "Not to be-" no
overture or negotiation will be listened
to. Sometimes, however, the interests
of state, or the value of the dowry, or
the termination of long standing
blood feud will induce the pious chief
tain to put aside the omen as having
been influenced by the powers Of dark
ness.

Tin.

The following is given as an invaluable
test for tin and as the metal is getting
rather common in this vicinity We pub
lish the following:
To be sure that the metal is really tin
the o glowing experiment may be made:
Place the bead on clean charcoal with
out tluxes, and heat first in the reduc-
ing and then in the oxidizing fauie,
If tin it will lose its metallic character
and become q white oxide, which it will
be found very difficult to reduce again
to a metallic globule. This may be
effected by the addition of a small piece
of cyanide OF potassium. Observe that
no distinct coating is forming on the
charcoal, which would be the case if the
metal were lead; remove the bead to a
small anvil and strike it with a hammer
until fattened put (antimony and bis.
muth are brittle). The button boiled in
a test tube with nitric acid does not
dissolve, but is changed into a white
insoluble powder.
Anthony gives a similar reaction but
is brittle, and on charcoal would have
burned and given off thick white fumes
of oxide of anthony. These tests will
serve to distinguish tin from other
metals which it resembles, but another
still more characteristic test may be
made as follows: Reduce the bead of
tin from the ore by the method above
described, hammer it out very thin,
place it in a clean test tube and pour
hydrochloric acid over it; action takes
place and the metal dissolves. Before
solution is complete Ia portion of the
metal remaining u~ndissolved) pour a
few drops of the solution into a vessel
containing a dilute solution of terchlor-
ide ofgold a purple color will be pro-

metal is really tin. These tests are de-

ton to detail, because tin is liable to be

= meeting of the owners Of small

and damage at the hands of the larger
association whose acts, it is claimed, of.
ten take the nature of outright persecu-
ton. fhe owner Of thousands of cattle

seems to think that the owner Of a
hundred head or so Of cattle has no
rights which the former is bound to
respect. In Wyoming the laws are
made by and for the millionaire stock
owner and it is said that unless the man
Of less capital acts the mental he has no
show. How much truth there may be
in this statement we are not prepared
to say--fortunately, for the owner of a
hundred head of stock, whose n is
in Custer or the Black Hills counties,
they are still in Dakota, which gives no
more rights to the millionaire than to
the thousandaire, and an organized
effort on the part Of the latter to pro-
tect themselves is a move in the right
direction and with the organization per-
fected we car expect 20 see the number
Of the small outfits increase, q result

ty and to Custer in particular. Let all

you stand ready to give corporation

ed you will have to take the medicine
they give you and look pleasant when
they enter your domain and drive your
cattle to their own range and put you to
more or less trouble and expense.
